FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France, Nov. 14.)

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 18,'t`.—When we recol-
lect that the couriers who have left Constantinople
must have quitted that capital on the 20th*, and
that at that time the cannonade by Admiral CO-
drington off Zante, and the forced return of Ibrahim,
must have been known there, and that, neverthe-
less, the English and Russian Ambassadors had not
quitted that city, and bad not been sent to the apart-
ments prepared for them in the Seven Towers, it
seems pretty certain that the negociations are con-
tinued., and it is probable that their result will be
pacific.
(BY AN EXTRAORDINARY CONVEYANCE.)
OCT. 20.—Things are still in the same state.
Baron Ottenfels, the Austrian lnternuncio, has en-
tirely changed his language; he has had several con-
ferences with the Reis Effendi, and is said to have
remarked in him some appearance of a disposition
to yield. It is affirmed also, that the Reis ffendi
has expressed some surprise that Austria should in-
cline to the views of the Allied Powers, and this
change may probably have a powerful influence on
the Divan. It is certain that the Porte has hitherto
said nothing about the events at !t: .varin, and has
taken no hostile step in return, which strengthens
our opinion that all will in the end be pacii;iielly ar-
ranged. As for the order said to have been7ent on
the 15th, by a Tartar, to Ibrahim, to continue his
operations against the Greeks, no conclusion can be
drawn from it for a decisive measure, as the Greeks
themselves have not suspended hostilities.—Augs-
burgh Gazette.
" PARIS, Nov. 13.—The Augsburgh Gazette of
the 9th announces, that the Austrian brig Monte-
cuculi broughf to Trieste, on the 2d Nov. the news
of the total defeat of the Turkish and Egyptian fleet
in the Gulf of Navarin, between the 20th and 23d
October.

A letter from Marseilles of the 6th. says, " Gen.
Ligon, agent of the Pacha of Egypt, arrived at
Marseilles on the 4th of this month."

LIES OF THE DAY.

Quotidienne.—" An affray, attended with blood-
shed, has taken place at Milo, between the crews
of an English and French man-of-war."
The same.—" The Spanish and Mexican squa-
drons have met'and fought."
(Froth the Gazette de France, dated Wednesday.)

.BARCELONA, Nov. s.—The King arrived on the
30th October at Valencia, and immediately departed
hefOre the Queen, as far 'as San Phillipe. Their
:Majesties returned to Valencia on the 31st.
The Count d'Espagne, on his return to Vich, was
attacked almost at the gates of that city by an am-
busade of insurgents. His escort fought bravely,
dispersed the ambuscade, and made 16 prisoners.
General Caratala, Chief of the Etat-Major of
Count d'Espagne, has made some fresh and name•
rous arrests.

M. de Camane Figuera has published the follow-
ing Proclamation :
According 'to the instructions received from his
Excellency the Captain General, I give notice to all
persons of whatever rank. and condition, that in the
space of 21 hours they are required to deliver to the
bailiffs of their respective villages, all their fire-arms
and weapon's, long and short, under the penalty of
a fine of 100 ducats, and to be sent for two years to
the gallies. Nobles, and those who enjoy other pri-
vileges, are exempt from this measure, it being un-
derstood that they did not belong to the revolution-
ary volunteers,. or to the 'militia of the abolished Con-
stitution, and thtit they have taken no part in the
last scandalous revolt of the Principality.

corY OF 1 LETTER FROM JOHN COUNT CAN) D'ISTRIA TO

THE GREEK NATION.

" London, Aug. 26.
" At the moment of quitting the Russian capital,
I have received, through my brother, the messages
which your Excellency did me the honour to address
to me, conjointly .with the representatives of the
nation, to communicate to me two decrees, one of
which places me at the. head of the Greek Govern-
ment, and the other invests one with power to nego-
tiate a loan. Ever since the month of May, and
since my arrival at St. Petersburgh, the public prints
and private letters made me acquainted with the
proof of confidence so flattering and. so solemn, which
the Greek nation had just given in my favour. 1
will not express to your Excellency and your noble
colleagues either the sentiments which the decrees
now before me inspire, or the prayers which I offer
to the Almighty that he may bestow upon you,
gentlemen, and upon me strength to attain the object
of the long and bloody sacrifices to which the Creels
people have submittdd, and to which it still submits
in the hope of a final restoration. For the present,
I shall confine myself to giving you an account, in a
few words, of what I have succeeded in doing. up to
this time, aad in giving you the assurance of my en-
tire devotio►► to the cause for the future.

" On hearing of the catastrophe of Athens, of
the pecuniary embarrassment of the Provisional
Greek Government, and of the sad necessity which
forged it to contract a loan in the lonian Islands,
which coula only have sufficed for a few days, I sent
to my brother, as my only answer, the remnant of
my moderate fortune. I instructed him to take a.
portion of that loan, if it had been negociated, or to
deposit in the hands of the Provisional Government
the sum of 2,000/. sterling, which I have placed at
his disposal. At the same time, I proceeded to call
on the Greeks, who possessed wealth in foreign '
lands, to follow this example, anti to afford you
some assistance. These measures have had some
success, and the Provisional Government, in conse-
quence, is in a condition to meet its most urgent
wants, for the moment ; I say for the moment, for I.
flatter myself that by the aid of God and your wis-
dom, the Greek nation will shortly receive more im-
portant succour. "
In the present state of things, this assistance, in
order to be effective, ought to have a double object.
It ought to draw Greece from its fatal isolation, and
put it in contact with the Great European Powers.
It ought to procure for it the means of existence
and of defending itself, till its Government can intro-
duce something like order into the external concerns
of the nation, and put it in a situation to provide for
itself. It is with these two great. interests that I
am now exclusively occupied, and with which I will
still occupy Myielf when on my Way—to you I pass
through Paris. Should Heaven continue to bless
my efforts u it has `blessed them up to this day, I
.lare indulge the hope, that it.will be merit to offer
you some consolation and 'that the Greek nation
will not refuse to me the powers which I ask, to
regulate, in the legal eterciseof the honourable func-
tions which it offers me, all the' necessary arrange-
ments with the Courts which interest themselves in
its behalf. •
" I will not lose a moment, for time presses from
day to day, to decide for Greece the question of life
death. Doubtless the event is in the hands of
God; but let us not dissemble, that much depend,
on you, gentlemen, to render it propitious. Be as-
sured, such it will prove, if, faithful to the immu-
table principles of our holy religion, you labour una-
nimously,and with good faith, for our common safety,
some in carrying arms, not only with devotion and
courage, but with a perfect subordination to the
rules of your Chiefs; others in administering the
affairs of the country, for the country, and not for or
against particular individuals, or for particular in•
terests.
" I pause here, and I resign, gentlemen, to your
wisdom and your patriotism, the care of weighing
the immense responsibility which falls en your heads.
I shall have the honour to share it with you, but I
hesitate not to repeat here that I cannot share it
with you till after you shall have heard me, and that
I
myself shall have obtained from you all the confi-
dence
which I wish to inspire.
" Receive, he.
