FRENCH PAPERS.

From the Gazette de France, dated Thursday, Oct. 1.)

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 8.--The day before
yesterday the Divan met, and the deliberations lasted
above two hours. The Reis Effendi, who is still
indisposed, was present at it ; at the end of the
sitting the Reis Effendi is said to have had a con-
ference with the dragoman of the Inte►nuncio, and it
has been reported that the Porte desires to come to
an understanding with the mediating Powers. The
Ambassadors of France and England have sent
couriers to their warts.

The Sultan now shows himself to the people
much less frequently than he used to do, and appears
to have confided to Commissioners the superintendence
of the works at the arsenal, and the fortifications of
the Bosphorus, which he no longer directs in person.
Neither does he review the new troops so frequently ;
arid his ardour for the new institutions appears to be
diminished.—Angsbuigh Gazette.
PARIS, OCT. sl.—Letters from Toulouse of the
94th say that several insurgents, among whom was
Savalle, Chief of one of the bands which blockaded
Gerona, have presented themselves to the Spanish
Government of Figueiras, soliciting their pardon,
and have been kept ever since the 18th of October
in the prison of that town. The Count d'Espagne
is at Llado, two leagues from Figueiras, and
causes the rebels to be pursued in all directions.—
On the 18th he required from the Governor of Fi-
gueiras
4,000 rations of bread, and as many the fol-
lowing day. On the 19th, he sent 50 horse to Cas-
tillo (re Anpurices, where the rebel Chief Oriol was
posted; some hours after, a column of infantry took
the same direction, and, towards the evening, the
band' of Oriol was attacked, and the greater part
killed or dispersed.
About five o'clock in the morning an inspector
in the service of the Duke of Orleans perceived that
the gallery behind the Theatre Francais was on fire.
The alarm was immediately given, and the prompt-
est measures being taken, the progress of the flames
was soon checked, and at half-past six the danger
was past. The fire stopped at the extremity of the
gallery. All the magazines between the passage of
the theatre and the wicket of the glazed gallery were
destroyed. The book-warehouse of M. Daultiereau
was entirely burnt ; that of M. Barba escaped by a
miracle. On the whole, a great deal of damage has
been done.

(From the Journal des Debuts of Wednesday.)
PETERS/311161f, OCT. 12.—Particular details of
the proceedings in Georgia have been received.—
General Paskewitch, who is employed on the right
hank of the Araxis, was obliged to form a moveable
column on the line of communication, in order to
secure the transport of provisions. The Persian
army has most excellent partisans, who are as useful
as the Cossacks. Abbas Mirza lately made .an ex-
cursion with his light cavalry on the lines of commu-
nication of General Krassowsky, and the latter was
so much alarmed, that he (irked the position of
Etchnnadzine, and sought for reinforcements. Gene-
ral Constantine Benkendorf will command the
moveable column, which will consist of 8,000 infan-
try, 2.000 cavalry, and some light artillery. The
fall of Erivan will be the surest means of opening
negociations, for it is the only strong hold of the
Persians. It is, however, doubtful whether the
Russian General-in-Chief, notwithstanding all his
great preparations, will be able to bring about the
capitulation of this place in the present year. The
bad weather is now coming on, and it will be diffi-
cult to cut trenches. It will be necessary to wait
for the spring.

EXTRACT FROM THE CORREsPONDEXCF OF 14. GOSSE WITH

M. EYI.TARD, RELATIVF. TO TIM AFFAIRS OF GREECE,

DATED LAUSANNE, OCT. 26.

" I have to inform you of the safe arrival of the
vessel freighted with rockets, coal, and powder, with
an artificer of fireworks, and also considerable remit-
tances made by the Committee of Subsistence.—
These have come in very good time. These muni-
tions, which we wanted, will prove very useful, and
will make up for the weakness of our marine.
" Notwithstanding the innumerable difficulties
against which Lord 'Cochrane has had incessantly to
struggle, he has succeeded in equipping a new expe-
dition of 20 vessels, besides the frigate, the brig le
Saut'eur, and three gun-boats, all national vessels.
Ln this fleet are embarked some of the bravest of the
Greek Naval Captains. Lord Cochrane has directed
his force towards the Albanian coast, where he has
issued the following proclamation :
" People of Albania—Too long have you groaned
beneath the sceptre of the Mussulman—too long has
your love of liberty been chained down by a dark and
cruel despotism. The hour of your deliverance is
not far off. It depends on yourselves to hasten it.
Europe takes a lively interest in your fate; your
fellow-countrymen are flyii,g to your assistance ; but
this interest attaches to the energy you have die;
played, to the noble courage by which you have
been always distinguished ; and the succours which
we offer you, in order to be effective, require on
your part redoubled patriotism and zeal in this deci-
sive moment. Brave Albanians, the future welfare
of your country, the repose of your families, the'ho-
nour of your religion, are in your hands. An active
and continued co-operation can alone, we repeat, se-
cure your existence and our success.
s'e;;A:dlm7i.ral COCHRANE,"
" On board the Hellas,

Operations have commenced, and the Greek ships
will not proceed to Dragomestret, Lord Cochrane
being unwilling to risk a direct attack on the great
force of the enemy, but he will endeavour to sur-
prise them in detail. After having made this im-
portant diversion in Albania, he will occupy the
Islands and Eastern Greece.
We expect, with the utmost impatience, the ar-
rival of Count Capo d'lstria; his presence, some
money, and a small corps of disciplined troops, are
of urgent necessity.
The above news was written on board the Ijellas,
on the 18th of September. Some days after, M.
Gosse writes from Corfu roads—
" I have just had a conversation with Count \lad
Capo d'lstria, brother of our expected President.
His countrymen and himself have made an effort for
Greece, and he will remit some funds for the Com-
mittee of the Government. The Greeks have for-
warded provisions for the troops which have entered
Albania. I believe that there will soon be a rising
in that country, because the Seraskier has demanded
the delivery pf arms and hostages, which must hasten
the insurrection of tha inhabitants.
" I this moment learn that the Greeks of Chio,
desirous of rescuing their ishind from the Ottoman
yoke, have engaged the brave Fabvier to repair
thither with a regular corps of 800 men. They
have opened a subscription, which )las produced
12,000 piastres. I hope that this expedition will
succeed. We will endeavour to support them with
the fleet."

(From the Constitutionnel.)
TglgsTE, OCT. 19.—A letter from Zante, of Oc-
tober 6, contains the following- intelligence :
" On the 3d of this month, at day-break, a part
of the Turkish fleet appeared in sight from our port;
and as the English Rear-Admiral Codrington was '
at this moment in our roads with a ship of the line,
a galliot, and a brig, he stood out towards the Turks,
to prevent them from entering the Gulf of Patras.
It is proper to remark that the night between the
2d and the 3d was very dark and stormy. In this
state of the weather the commander of the Turkish
fleet passed in front of Zante with part of his ves-
sels, while the rest, to the number of 60 sail, en-
tered the channel. On the orders of the English
Admiral the 60 sail tacked about. The wind shifted
about one o'clock, and these vessels, perceiving
their Admiral, with 20 sail, entering Cephalonia
and Zante, resolved to follow him. The junction
took place about four o'clock, while the English
were still in the midst of the Turks. The Turkish
Admiral then declared to the English that he w4s
bound to Patras; and that, in pursuance of the of-
ders of his Sovereign, he must continue his course.
The English put back into the roads, but next day,

the 4th, they sailed again in pursuit of the Turks.
From the telegraph, we saw that the English ships
fired, but none of the Turks returned the tire. This
scene lasted three quarters of an hour. We do not
yet know the result."
Another letter from Zatate, of the 6th, confirms
what is above stated, and adds, that the division,
consisting of 60 sail, entered the Gulf of Patras,
while that consisting of 20 sail was engaged with
the English.
It appears, that in consequence of the convention
of the 25th of September, the force of the allied
fleets before Navarino had ,been greatly reduced.
Admiral Codrington had sent the Genoa and the
Albion of the line, and the Cambrian and Serin-
gapatam frigates, to Malta to be repaired. Admiral
de Rigny had sailed for Milo, and the Russian fleet.
was not then arrived. We are assured that contrary
winds had obliged the Russians to anchor at Messina.
BARCELONA, Ot:T. 20.—Romagosa, who escaped
by a kind of miracle from the hands of the insur-
gents when they were going to shoot him, arrived on
the 16th at Mataro, and as he was Governor of
that place, proceeded to resume his functions. Next
day, however, the people, who dislike his duplicity,
assembled to express their disapprobation, to the
number of 10,000 persons. His life was then in
greater danger than when he was among the insur-
gents, and he owed his safety to General Breton,
the Governor ad interim, who is very popular.
Romagosa escaped from the town in the disguise of
a peasant, and proceeded to Barcelona.
(From the Constitutionnel of Wednesday.)
TRIESTE, OCT. 19.—The execution of the Con-
vention of the 6th July, which can no longer be
doubted, after what has taken place at Navarino,
roust speedily set at rest every doubt entertained re-
specting the future. If the Divan, when it shall be
acquainted with the Armistice concluded with the
Egyptian fleet, still conducts itself 'with moderation,
the problem is solved, and the impbtence of the Otto-
man Government becomes visible ; protestations and
manifestos will be useless. It is thought that by the
10th of this month the Armistice for twenty days,
concluded between Ibrahim and Admiral Codrington,
will be known at Constantinople, and, as it appears
certain that Ibrahim received orders for the Egyptian
fleet to sail some days after its arrival, for the purpose
of ascertaining, in a positive manner, the intentions
of the allied squadrons, of which the Divan seemed
to entertain doubts, it will soon he seen whether the
Porte will oppose by arms the execution of the Treaty
of the 6th July.
All eyes are at present turned towards Constan-
tinople; and as our letters from that. city announce
that the Porte is rather disposed to make concessions,
we firmly believe that the Divan, feeling its weak-
ness, will terminate, by yielding every thing. The
submission of certain Greek Captains, collected by
the Patriach, are symptoms of a desire to restore
Greece, except the Morea, to its ancient condition;
but that they have given up the Morea and the
islands, from whence it would have been as easy to
have had petitions of a similar nature, through the
interference of Ibrahim Pacha. It is under this
point of view that we should consider the conces-
sions made by the Porte ; from which we conclude
that the execution of the convention will not expe-
rience any serious resistance. The opposition shown
by the Sultan up to this period is very natural.
The most important considerations should induce
him to resist to the last. The opinions of his people
and his religion imposed this on him as a duty, when
he perceived that it was intended to violate the in-
tegrity of his territory.
(From the Journal des Debars of Tuesday.)

BARCELONA, OCT. 20.—General Romagosa, who,
on the eve of being shot, succeeded in making his
escape from the village of Biisi, with several other
officers, for whom Jeps and Carajal had destined the
same fate, arrived on the 17th at the town of Ma-
taro, of which he is Governor; but he was near be-
-coming the victim of a popular commotion there on
the following day.
Scarcely was his arrival at Mataro known when a
great fermentation was visible in the town, and on
the evening of the 18th, an immense crowd, of
people assembled at his dwelling with the most
menacing intentions. He could not have escaped
the fate which was designed for him, but through
the exertions of the Governor ad interim, Mr:
Ilarton, who enabled him to 'escape. He arrived
this day at Baccelona.
A column of 4,000 insurgents, commanded by
Carajal, presented itself before Olot, levying contri-
butions of provisions and forage, but without exer-
cising any violence towards the inhabitants, who
submitted. Their administrative operations were
conducted with the most perfect order.
Arrests continue at Vich. A letter which came

to-day, assures us that the Bishop has been obliged
to confine himself to his apartments; but this letter
relates a fact which shows more and more the charac-
ter of the insurrection of Catalonia. It is said, that

the Count D'Espagne has discovered at Vich a
great quantity of stamped paper, for the year 1828,
on which, instead of Ferdinand the Seventh, the
name of Chai les the Fifth, is impressed.
M. Ruiz, Intendant of the Police, of the Royal
residence, whenever the Court is held out of Madrid,
has just arrived at Tarragona. As this functionary
has been summoned by the. King himself, and as he
is the intimate friend of M. Recacho, people appear
convinced that his presence at Tarragona may strike
a decisive blow against the warring influence of M.
Calomarde, and increase the regret which the King
constantly expresses for having destroyed the office
of the general direction of the Police.
Letters from Tarragona, announce that all there is
tranquil, and that King Ferdinand is about to set
out immediately to meet the Queen. There has
been some movement at Valencia, but the factious
were worsted. One of their chiefs has published a
Proclamation, in which, as Ballester has also done
at Girona, he complains of Calomarde, and the su-
perior Clergy, who, after having put arms in their
hands, now leave them without assistance.
The Spaniards, who came from Tarragona, are all
unanimous in boasting of the affable manners of their
Sovereign ; he receives and dispatches with prompti-
tude the petitions which are presented to him. They
add, that the presence of his Majesty will be far
from extinguishing the rebellion, for already a crowd
of the pardoned officers have taken their route for
Cerdagne, the focus of the rebellion.
