FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Etoile, dated Saturday, May 26.)
" MADRID, MAY 11.—The General commanding
in chief the army of observation has_ just made an
energetic but respectful representation to his Majesty.
He beg* him either to let his army immediately
enter Portugal, or to make it fall back to Talavera
de la Nyna. On account of the great desertion in
all the corps, he cannot answer for the rest of the
army if it remains inactive. He has employed all
the means in his power, but in vain. The Captain-
General of Galicia makes similar complaints : he has
sent a courier to the Minister of War to inform him
that the regiment of Navarre has lost a great many
men by desertion; and he fears that the example
will be followed by the other corps.—lndicateur de

" Don Ignacio Martinez de Villela, President of
the Royal Supreme Council of Castile, died at
Aranjuez on the 12th of this month, at the age of
nearly 80 years. He went thither to be present, in
the character of Governor of the Council of Castile,
at the accouchement of her Serene Highness the
Princess Louisa Charlotte, and at the subsequent
baptism of the infant. On the 11th he took a walk
in the gardens, where he caught a cold, which
brought on an inflammation in the lungs.
" PARIS, MAY 2.s.—The most recent accounts
from Naples say, that his Majesty the King of the
Two Sicilies, who had been slightly indisposed, is
completely recovered.
" His Majesty the King of Bavaria arrived on the
13th at his country seat Celombella, near Perugia.
" Lord Granville, the British Ambassador, has
arrived at Paris.

" M. Dupin having obtained 102 votes in the
Electoral College of Mammers, has been elected
Deputy.",

" FRANKFORT ON THE ODER, MAY 15.—1 t ap-
pears by letters from Warsaw, that the Polish army
and the Lithuanian corps, which occupy canton-
ments from Lowicz to Minsk; may probably be re-
viewed by the Emperor Nicholas in the month of
June, after his Majesty has inspected his numerous
cavalry in the Government of Smolensk. It is
affirmed also.that his Majesty will go to the army in
Bessarabia, commanded by General Sabanieff, and
that preparations are making for his reception at
the head-quarters at Kiseheneff. It has also been
reported that this army will be shortly reinforced by
several pulks of Cossacks."

ZANTE, MAY I.—Greece, which has for six years
been struggling with so much perseverance against
the enemy of the Cross, is drawing, at this moment
near to a crisis propitious to the sacredness of her
cause. Tried by every kind of adverse fortune, re-
generated in the face of the world by the baptism of
blood, glorious from her martyrs, proud for her he-
roes, a secret presentiment whispers that a powerful
Monarch is about to stretch out his protecting hand
towards her. It was known at Constantinople pre-
vious to the departure of the last courier, that Count
Capo d'lstria had been recalled to St. Petersburg.—
This circumstance, which coincides with the arrival
of Lord Cochrane at Egina, and the late diplomatic
notes of MM. de Ribeaupierre and S. Canning, prove
that the obsolete tract of Austrian polities has been
at length, abandoned. The Porte, it is said, will
not yield, which will be a fortunate thing ; for after
the first gun is tired on the Danube, no treaty will
be entered into with the Turks but on the Asiatic
side of the Bosphorus • and Europe will thus be
for ever delivered from that political and moral stain
which, for upwards of four centuries, has afflicted
the eyes of Christendom.
(From the Constitutionnel.)
CORFU, APRIL 24.—Colonel Fabvier has, at last,
again made his appearance amongst his troops. The
wound which had confined him to his chamber for a
fortnight is quite cured. Colonel Ch. Heidegger,
who is charged with the blockade of the Island of
Eubcea, has effected a landing at Oropos, where he
took from the enemy' three pieces of cannon, and a
large quantitf of provisions. The Greek sailors
charged the NegTopontans carabine in hand, with so
much impetuosity that they allowed them no time
for firing their muskets.
The Greek Deputies who were assembled at
Egina, and those who were at Castri, have proceeded
to Poros, where they continued their deliberations.
They have already decreed, by a fundamental law,
that the Greek Government ceases to be provisional.
Its form is to be representative, and its President is
to be appointed for ten years.
By a letter addressed by General Karaiskaki to
the National Assembly, it appears that this brave
Chief has taken from the enemy 18. field-pieces, 234
cavalry horses, 2,000 muskets, all fit for service.
The number f prisoners in his custody exceeds 400;
the greatest part of whom are Turks of distinction.
He says that, according to reports he has received
from the Captains and the Generals who occupy the
provinces of the Isthmus, the whole of the Conti-
nental part of Greece is under arms. lie concludes
by complaining of ill health (for, in fact, he is very
feeble, being attacked by a phthisic.) Notwith-
standing this (says he), I shall .continue my exer-
tions with the same ardour as long as I live, because
it becomes a Greek to die sword in hand rather
than on a bed of sickness. Every thing else depends
upon your wisdom.

CIRCULAR 0)' MR. S. G. EYNARD TO SOME OF THE

COMMITTEES.

PARIS, MAY 24, 1827.
I hasten, Gentlemen, to apprise you of the fol-
lowing intelligence which I received officially.
Extract of a letter from Colonel Heydeck, ad-
dressed to me from Poros, on the 12th and 15th
of April.

" The Assembly of Damala, (distant a league and
a half from this place,) has with general applause,
appointed Count Capo d'lstria as President of
Greece for seven years, with the same power and
attributes as those of the President of the United
States. Should the Count not accept this appoint-
ment, a fresh Assembly will be convoked to form a
new choice. Lord Cochrane has been appointed
Commander-in-Chief of the Greek Navy, which is
declared to be the National Navy—(He has accept-
ed the same.) General Church has been appointed
Commander of the Land Forces—(he likewise ac-
cepted it.) A Commission, consisting of twelve
Members, is to be charged with forming the Consti-
tution. Until the arrival of Count Capo d'lstria,
, three Provisional Governors are to be named—
Mackris for the Islands ; Pietro-Bey Mauromichale
for the Morea; and Nakos for Romelia."
Fabvier defends himself gallantly in the citadel of
Athens. The expedition of Oropos has succeeded;
we have destroyed the magazines, and captured two
brigs laden with provisions. Cochrane has issued
an energetic proclamation, announcing to the army
that Kintachi will no longer receive any supply.
We are informed that a formidable expedition is
preparing in Egypt, destined against Hydra, which
will be vigorously defended, &c.
slf that island succumbs, Gentlemen, do not despair
of the salvation of Greece ; but regret the fresh ca-
lamities of humanity, and the new disasters which
await commerce. If the island of Hydra be sacked,
all its inhabitants will turn pirates, like those of
Chio and Ipsara. Its mariners will find themselves
compelled to become rovers on the high seas.

Mr. d'Heydeck writes to me on the 17th :--
'" We have this moment received the news of the
capture of a beautiful corvette destined for Mehemed
Ali, &c.'' He adds : " The provisions which
reached us admitted of a distribution to all the troops ;
the money served for paying the maritms and sol-
diers who had received nothing this lotig while. But
in the name of God continue your supplies ; let all
the Committee unite' for the purpose of making
fresh efforts. If we have the means we shall resist
both the Turks and ggyptitws ; but if resources fail
us this country is lost. The mariners and soldiers
only remain as )opg under our standard as they can
give bread to their wives and. children. Did you
but know the frightful misery which reigns 41,11AngSt

the inhabitants you would tremble. These women
and children abandoned by the men, who combat,
inspire inexpressible pity. The thing must be seen
in order to be credited. What an excellent people these
Greeks are ! What fine characters are met with amongst
the lowest classes ! What patience ! And what a misfor-
tune it is that the chiefs are so muchcorrupted bythepre-
ceding despotism ! But now all dissensions have ceased,
both military and civil chiefs are unanimous in the
choice they have made. During the assembly, the
President asked me, whether I had any propositions
to make. I replied that as a foreigner I had no
vote in the affairs of Greece; but that, as a Phil-
hellene, I begged leave, merely by way of advice, to
repeat a single phrase written for them in a letter I
had receired from my Sovereign :—" Greeks be
united, be agreed ; for this is necessary for you be-
fore all this gs." The Assembly unanimously thanked
my virtuous Sovereign for the interest which he
condescended to take in the fate of wretched
Greece !

By giving you this extract, Gentlemen, I can only
solicit all the divers Committees to redouble your
zeal. Let us make some further slight sacrifices,
and, under Divine protection, we shall soon arrive
at the period when more powerful assistance than
ours will save Greece. Humanity—the interests of
commerce, alike require that these disasters and pi-
racies should terminate. I am, &c.
