FRENCH PAPERS.
(Prom the Gazette alt . France, idin. 8.)

PARIS, JAN 7.--We have a Gallicia,
which says that it was generally reported that the
Turks had retaken Varna. On the other hand, the
Berlin State Gazette affirms that they have been re-
pulsed, and that the Seraskier, who commanded
them, was wounded.

A ship which arrived at Toulon, on the Ist of
January, brought word that the Dey of Algiers had
sent one of his officers to Tunis, to negociate peace
with the French Consul in that city. That, agent
immediately communicated this news to the Govern-
ment, and asked for the necessary powers to receive
the proposals of the Algerine Envoy.

PATRAS, Nov. 2S.—Since the taking of Patras
that town has entirely changed its appearance, and
we see it gradually rising from its ashes. 500 hotves,
or shops, have been erected on the port; whole
streets are already inhabited, and there is abundance
of every thing.
The Gulf of Patras is at present covered with a
great number of Greek fishing boats, which supply
our markets with fish of all kinds in abundance.

The Castle of Morea, which surrendered at dis-
cretion, after eleven days' siege, and_at the moment
when twe breaches were become practicable, has
been completely repaired, and put in a state of de-
fence. It was necessary to select for that purpose
above eighty pieces of cannon.
The same has been done at Patras, which is de-
fended by more than 50 pieces.
The Governor of Achaia, and the Primates of
Patras, have been to compliment General Schnieder
on the fete of Charles X ; on which occasion they
presented an address, expressing their gratitude to
his Majesty for having sent his victorious troops,
who, in a few days, delivered the Peloponnesus from
the barbarians, and expressing their hopes that their
brethren of Continental Greece would soon share
the same happiness.

CHANGE IN THE MINISTRY.

Pants, Jas. 7.—lt now seems certain that M. de
Ferronnays will retire. At present the Ministers
are thinking of his successor; and as private ambi-
bition is always indiscreet, we have reason to think
that M. Pasquier is again on the threshold of the
hotel of Foreign Affairs, with more chances in his fa-
vont' at present, as one of his competitors is laid up,
and the other is absent at Rome, where repairing an
unjust forgetfulness of this country of the arts, be is
erecting a monument to Poussin. We beg leave to
invite the Ministry to reflect on its position, and we
shall remind it of the character it has to every body
else, though it refuses to believe in the correctness of
the portraiL Hitherto it has only obtained half a
confidence. There is no popularity in its measures,
and it meets no sympathy in the nation. The ap-
proaching Session will place the difficult situation
of the Ministry in a fresh light. The Chambers, we
believe, will be more imperious than before. The
time for making speeches is past, and the Mini-
sterial eloquence of M. Martignac will suffer much
by the occasion. If M. Pasquier enters the Mini-
stry, will be be a support to it ? Will he bring reso-
lution and decision into the Cabinet, and gain an
ascendancy ? Did he support the four or five Mini-
stries to which he has been attached ? We do not
deny his skill in business, ncr his skill in words ; but
he has always been the orator of see-saw, professing
what Camille Jordan called constitutional bastardy.
Finally, can it be forgotten that the Noble Peer was
constantly opposed to M. de Villele ? The Ministry,
we repeat, is essentially feeble ; it will be weaker
still in the presence of the- Tribune, and we doubt
very much if the choice now attributed to it is likely
to give it the necessary strength.
Letters from Constantinople arrived to-day give
little hope that the Porte will consent to our inter-
ference with the Morn, and will recognise the inde-
pendence of Greece. From the inflexibility already
shewn by the Sultan, we cannot expect he will be
more tractable now that he has gained successes
against the Russians. The knowledge also of the
discussions between the three Powers will be an ad-
ditional motive for him to persevere, and not recog-
nise Greece. A cry of sorrow has been raised in
Europe, since it has been known that Greece is only
to include the Morea and the Cyclades—that the
islands which have so heroically conquered their in-
dependence—that Missolonghi, Athens, the people
of Thessaly, and Epirus, are inexorably excluded
from the benefits for which they hare for so long a
time contended. We are ignorant to what ciretim-
stances we owe this diplomatic decree. The news
from Constantinople informs us that it is the English
Cabinet and the policy of Wellington which have
effected it. France and Russia wished to extend
the boundaries in which the Greeks should live in
freedom, but England would not consent, and its
opposition has triumphed.
.Although the political horizon of the Duke of
Wellington is very limited, this Minister's views are
still sufficiently extended to perceive, that though in
the end the Russians must obtain some advantages,
these will never be in proportion to the sacrifices
which they will be obliged to make. He clearly
sees, that weakened by the war, she will no longer
be in a state to preserve her conquests against the
will of those who have not entered into the lists,
and who, is the interval, will have -augmented their
riches and their military establishments. To these
unavowed motives are joined others still more secret.
The Cabinets of London and Vienna are not igno-
rant that dissension reigns in the interior of
the Empire and in the ranks of the Russian Army.
The conspiracy of Isaac was averted, but the spirit
is not quelled, and the real principles have not been
discovered. The Muscovite party has also gained
new strength, and the military popularity which the
Grand Duke Constantine enjoys has more than ever
given offence to the Emperor Nicholas: This has,
probably, resulted from the singular idea of Alex-
ander, who, to maintain the peace of Europe, never
imagined any thing better than the formation of an
immense permanent Army. Circumstances have
occurred t hich develop still further the germs which
such an assemblage may contain within itself, and we
seem at present about to reap the harvest which he
has planted.
Finally, it is very probable that the Cabinet of
St. James's will not be less just with respect to
Russia than it was formerly towards France. The,
least that Russia can lose is her political preponde-
rance. Already the prejudice which surrounds the
Colossus of the North begins to be dissipated.
Another campaign or two such as the fast, and this
bugbear, which is presented at every turn, with a
view to terrify the Continent, will no longer inspire
terror either among the people or the Cabinets of

Europe.

houses of their relations and friend,,, rather than submit to

SHIPWRECK.—About the hour offline &clock
on the morning of Sunday, the 21st ult., the look-out loan
belonging to the preventive coast guard, on duty near
Roundstose, Cuni:emara, having seen a large ship in dis-
tress in the offing, reported the circumstance to Mr. Eding-
ton, the active -and zealous chief officer of that district,
who immediately ordered his galley to he launched and
manned, which, together with the Mason Island galley,
immediately proceeded in the direction where the derelict
vessel lay. The consequence was, that the eargo, with a
very slight lose, was saved, through the exertions of Mr.
Edington, &c. The vessel's name is the Samuel Whit-
bread, of London. Too much credit cannot he given to
Edington and his party for his exertions on this occasion.
