FRENCH PAPERS.

The foll Owing are extracts from the Monitor of Fri-
day, and the Etoik dated Saturday t
PARIS, FEBRUARY sts.
Letters from Rome of the 12th confirm what is said
in the Diarie of the preceding day, in the amelioration
of the Pope's health. His Holiness, however, still kept
his hed, and was unable to go to the Vatican,-as he in-
tended. On the 12th, Cardinal Severoli had relapsed
to such a degree, that his recovery was despaired of:
he was said to be dying. Cardinals Rusconi and Fa..
brizio Ruffo are still in danger. Her Majesty the
Duchess of Lucca received the viaticorm on the 11th,
and it was expected that news would soon arrive of her
death. It is said that his Holiness will make a promo-
tion of Cardinals about the middle of Lent.
M.Riez de la Cadena, Minister Plenipotentiary from
the Court of Spain to his Majesty the King of Great
Britain, has arrived at Paris, and put up at the great
Hotel of Castile, rue Richelieu.

FROM THI ZTOILE OF SATURDAY.
FRANKFORT, FEBRUARY es.
We have just received the Oriental Spectator of the
15th January. It contradicts the news of the landing
of the Greeks at Scio, as well as that of a landing at
Mitrlene ; and lastly, that of the taking of Caristo, which
Odysseus was stated to have taken by storm on the
12th of December.

TINO, DECEMBER se.
Odysseus is before Caristo with 2000 soldiers. Omer
Bey, who commanded it, has quitted it, leaving a suffi-
cient number of men to defend it. Having been made
Pacha of Negropont, he is marching against Delyano-
pulo, -in Attica. As the plague rages in the fortress of
Caristo, Odysseus has caused a trench to be dug round
it, to endeavour to blow it up. Eight Ipsatiot vessels
blockade Negropont.

SYRA, DECEMBER 23.
The Greeks hope to reduce Patras by famine ; but we
know that it has a good stock of provisions. Unless it
be taken by storm, it'will long remain in the hands of
. the Turks, as well as Coron and Modon.

ODESSA, JANUARY 21.
By letters from Constantinople of the 26th of Janu-
ary, M. Minziacky arrived there on the 17th, and was

flowers and preserved Inuits. The lteis4:ffendi is dan-
-gerously Xll. The Sultan has ordered his chief physi-
cian, on pain of his displeasure, (that is to say death) to
cure the Minister without delay. The Physician is in
consternation.
