FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
" VIENNA, Juto 19.—The Austrian Observer has
extracted from the Greek Universal Gazette the following
report by Captain Hastings, commander of the Korteria
steam-boat, on his expedition in the Gulf of Volo

TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE GRAND ADMIRAL, LORD

COCIIRAXX.

• " ' On board the Karteria, April 23.
" I have the honour to inform you, that, pursuant to
your orders, I sailed for Volo with my division, consist-
ing of the Themistocks, the Axes, the Aspasia, and the
Panagi. I ordered the Themistoeles and the Axes to
make for the battery at the entry of the port, and to can-
nonade it. This was performed with uncommon intrepi-
dity. The battery was approached to within musket-shot,
end soon silenced by the fire from the two vessels. I then
stood with the boats into the port, and found there eight
Turkish vessels, all of which struck, but the fire from the
batteries rendered it extremely difficult to carry them off.
Finally, after an action of four hours, we succeeded in
obtaining possession of four brigs. Two we burned, and
only a email one was left under the walls of the town, but
even that was dismasted. It is with the greatest satisfaction

I inform you that we have not lost a single man, though
we were during four hours exposed to the enemy's fire.
The highest praise is due to the conduct of all the officers
and sailors of the squadron. On the night of the 22d I
proceeded to Trikkai with the view of capturing a Turkish
brig of war of 16 guns. Finding, however, that she was
lying in the midst of rocks, and under the protection of
batteries, we thought it advisable to withdraw. Neverthe-
less, I mean to remain here for three or four days, to destroy
the enemy's brig if possible.
" I have the honour to he, &c.
" ' HASTINGS.'

• " My Lord,—Au hour after I sent off my last despatch,
I stood in with all the vessels "of my division against.
Trikkai, where the Turkish brig lay. She was close in
shore, surrounded by high rocks, and she was protected by
a strong detachment of Albanians and also by five batteries.
It would have been risking the lives of our seamen too
much to have attempted to take possession of this brig. I
therefore determined to burn her, which was accomplished
in about an hour. Every one connected with the expedi-
tion acted with the greatest gallantly. Our loss is incon-
siderable. " HASTINGS.'

(From the Constitutionnel.)
" ' The Greek Gazelle of the 9th of May contains the
following report from General Church, addressed to the
overnmeut Commission on the death of Genera'
itraiskaki :

" ' Camp of Phalerus, May 9.
" With the greatest sorrow I announce to the illus-
trious Commission of the Government that the country
and the army are deprived of the services of the brave
General Karaiskaki, commanding the Greek troops on the
main land. This gallant General, whose loss the army
deplores, died in consequence of a wound which he received
yesterday. I send you the bulletin of the action, which
was of no importance, except by its depriving Greece
of one of her bravest Generals, 'and of some soldiers who
Were killed or wounded at the same time.
'‘ Yesterday, at nine o'clock (three o'clock p.m.), some
of the irregular troops fired on one of the enemy's posts
established at Phalerus. The Turks returned the fire, and
a Greek was wounded. The Turks sallied forth to take
the wounded man prisoner, and some of his comrades ad-
vanced to protect him ; and at length so many men gra-
dually collected, that an irregular action took place ; the
Greeks attacked the intrenched post, and another near the
ilea; a large body of the enemy's cavalry advanced to pro-
tect these posts. General Karsiskaki having heard the
tire, hastened to the spot to put an end to the combat.
Other Generals followed him, and proceeded to engage the
cavalry and infantry instead of endeavouring to stop the
firing ; the consequence was, the loss of some officers and
iioldiers, who were killed and wounded. The English
Captain Withon, who has distinguished himself on several
occasions, was severely wounded by a cannon shot, but I
hope be is out of danger. Panagioti Vitina, General
Aide-de•Canip, was also seriously wound-
ed. The loss of the Turks is great, particularly in cavalry.
hone that the loss which the Greeks have sustained in

is unexpected affair will be a Jews to them, and that in
tire they will not engage without orders, .

" A Frenchman residing at Algiers writes to us front
that city, under the date of the 111th of June, cot

follows :
" Within these few days, a great change has taken
place in our situation, and the insults which the Day
has ventured to Mier to our Consul• General are going to

be revenged.
" On the 11th of this month we saw La Torche
schooner arrive, and the following day a division, consist-
ing of a ship of the line, two frigates, and a corvette,
came and took up its stat►on before the port. Energetic
representations have been made to the Dey by Captain
gullet, who commands this division/ and they were soon
rollowed by a declaration of war, the first result of which
will be, that nothing can enter or leave the port of Algiers
without the permission of the French Commander. Our
Consul-General is on board the ship of the line, with the
Commander, and all are embarked on hoard a brig of
Marseilles, which is going to convey us to France.'
" A fortunate circumstance fur oar commerce is, that

Algerine ships of war, which were ready to.put to sea
to exercise their usual system of piracy in the Mediterra-
iiean, were in the port, which they cannot now leave.
Only two ships of the Regency', a frigate and a corvette,
are at sea, but it is known whither they are gone : they
will he pursued by his Majesty's ships, and it is highly
probable that they will soon be unable to undertake any
thing against the ships that have sailed from the ports of

Prance.'
Manarn, Jour 18.—In a late consistory, the Pope,
no the recommendation of Bolivar, gave the canonical in-
atitution to several Bishops of our American colonies.
This affair as present greatly engages the attention of the
Spanish Cabinet. M. Aparici, Spanish Charge d'Affaires
at Rome, communicating this news to his Government,
Oates that this measure is the result of a concordat between
Rome and Colombia, concluded by its representative
Texatid. Orders were immediately despatched to all the
authorities on the frontiers, enjoining them not to admit
the new Nuncio from the Pope."
