MARSEILLES, NOVEMBER Is.

According to the latest accounts from the Levant,
the Egyptian fleet has not by any means suffered such
extensive losses as was stated in preceding reports. The
following particulars are said to he certain :—When the
Egyptian fleet, after the action of the 10th Sept. had left
its station at Boudroun, to follow the Captain Paella to
Samosabrahini Pacha ordered his transports, of he
could not make any immediate use, to sail down the
Bay o Stanchio, as far as Koisidek, and made the
troops, which had suffered enrich by sickness, go on
slime, and take up a camp along the coast. The,
transports, which had on board a great quantity of
military stores, ammunition, and valuable effects, were
got into the hatbour. At the entrance of the Bay,

Ibrahim Pacha left a division of eight men of war,'
which have not since quitted"their station. Thb rest of
the fleet accompanied him, and lost some vessels in the
actions which took place in the course of September ;
but in the beginning of October the fleet was still toge-
ther, with the exception of some greatly damaged ships.
which were sent back to the Bay of Stanchio. Ibrahim
(vitro, it thus appears, was far from being taken pri-
soner), received, at this time, a letter from the Sultan,
announcing his appointment to the chief command of
the Turkish and Egyptian fleets, by which the com-
plaints which he had made were remedied. The Captain
Pacha was at the s;r me time summoned to Coastantinople.
On the sth of October, Ibrahim took upon him the
command of the united fleets, which did not appear to
be agreeable to the subaltern Turkish Commanders.—
He was on the point of making several new regu-
lations, when the Greeks unexpectedly attacked him
on the 6th. This attack took place between Chios and
Mitylene. The Egyptian ships defended themselves,
but the Turks fled, and sought refuge in the roads of
Mitylene, where several of their ships were destroyed
on the night of the 7th, by the Greek fire-ships.
—lbrahim did not arrive in time to save them. The
Greeks then turned against him, and used their fire
A)ips with such effect, that on the 10th of October seve-
ral Egyptian ships were burnt. This was in a manner
the signal for the dispersing of the Egyptian fleet, yet
the commander succeeded in re-assembling the greater
part of tbem, and returning with them to the entrance
of the gulf of Stanchio, where the transports and the
division of the fleet left for their protection, were to
join him, and return to Alexandria. The Greeks
pursued him. Those Egyptian ships of war which
were separated from the fleet are partly taken, and
part have escaped to Candia ; tilde Turkish ships
which were not burnt or greatly damaged on the 7th
October, let the harbour of Mitylene, and returned
into the Dardanelles.

We have received the French Papers of Monday and
the Etoile of Tuesday. The Quotidienne, the Consti-
tutionnel, and the Journal des Debats insinuate that the
measure of evacuating Spain by the French troops is
not definitely settled. The Etoile however, which has
better sources of intelligence, observes on this subject :
" The Journal des Debats, the Constitutionnel, and the
Quotidienne, announce to-day to their readers that the
evacuation of Spain by the French troops will not take
place. The Journal des Debals and the Constitutionnel
give a letter from Madrid, dated Nov. 28, received by
an extraordinary channel, which brings this news. The
Quotidienne says, that a courier was to set t•ff -the day
before yesterday (last Sunday) or yesterday, to carry an
order for suspending the movement of the troops. Not-
withstanding all these assertions, we persist in saying,
that the evacuation was to commence on the let December."

The Etoile also denies that it is intended to augment
the troops left in Spain, as they will be sufficient to
garrison the several places, and leave a small corps
at Vittoria.

Among the French Generals who, by an Ordon-
!lance of the Ist instant, are put on the retired list, we
find the names of GROUCHY, VA NDAMME, DROUOT, and
THIESAUT.

IMPROVEMENTS AT LONDONDERRY HOUSE,
PARK-LANE.

These are rapidly approaching to something like an order in ar-
chitecture. The grand Roman staircase will be a magnificent ob-
ject; indeed, it is thought that it will vie with that celebrated one
in Northumberland House.
The entrance from Park-lane (it was heretofore in Hertford-
street) will lead into a large square hall, and in line with the street
doer will be a corridor of great length, leading into one of the finest
rooms, for a picture gallery, in Europe.
