FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS RECEIVED THIS MORNING.

We have received important news, should it be con-
firmed, from Marseilles, dated 26th Jan. stating that
Ibrahim Pacha, has caused to sail from Navatin 53 ,
ships for Alexandria, having on board fifteen thousand
men ; but a violent hurricane took place soon after their
departure, and it was feared that a Turkish ship had
pei ished, as signals of distress were made from her.—
The extreme scarcity of provisions was the, cause of the
Egyptiani retreating, as well as Austria having, after
the departure of the three Ambassadors from Constan
tinople, forbidden her vesssls from transporting
Greece provisions or ammunition.

BARCELONA, Ityvasy 0.

Although it was the desire of his Majesty to leave ul
soon, he will be still obliged to remain for some timer
as his health will not permit him to undergo the fatigue
of travelling. A report prevails that the Royalit
Volunteers, 'which were disbanded, are to be again re-
organized in this province. This report has cansed-ar
unfavourable impression, and things are GI- from being
quiet. It is known that agents ate busy in working tt
another revolution.

His MAJESTY. we are glad to hear, is in good beak),
and spirits. His Mantsres Accession to the Throne was celebrated
generally throughout the country with great splendour. At Windsor
and Brighton there were public dinners.
On Saturday, the dispatches for Bengal and China by
the ship Marquis of Huntly, Captain Joni% %tau. Hamar Faasia,
were closed at the East India House, and delivered to the Purser
of that ship.
His MAJESTY has sent a fine young elephant, in-
tended as a present to the King of Seats. The animal is remarkably
docile, and noted for its sagacity. The vessel (the brig Barhatn)-in
which it sailed, left London last week for 13ilboa.
The fureral of Captain IiAMILTON, cf the Delaware,
took place on Saturday. The body of this lamented Gentleman
was followed to the New Cemetery by most of the American met.
chants, sad by all the masters of American vessels in the port

Liverpool.
Lord and Lady DUNCAN have caused to be distribm
ted about twenty bolls of oatmeal, to the rang new
sitnus poor on his Lordship's estates in the parishes
Liff and Lundie.
The Earl of ROSKEIRY has given the usual liberal
donations to the poor in those parishes where his Lord-
ship's estates are situated, in the counties of Editiburg/
and Linlithgow.
PorramouTn, FEB. 2.--Lastevening his Royal Higi.
nett the Loan Hams ADMIRAL arrived at the Admiralty House, and
dined with the Commander in Chief, Admiral the Hod. Sir ROSIRY
&vermin, K.C.B. This mornings at nine o'clock, his Royal High-
ness embarked in the :t:teor steamer, under a salute hum •
batteries,, sod a feu de joie from the troops, formed around
Noes, and proceeded to Spithead, to visit the Asia, Albion, and
Rase. Ho was accompanied by the Commander in Chief, and ,
the Captains of the Navy at the port, the ships saluting his Bag,
with manned yards. At 1. 50. Lis Royal Highness landed, under
the same honorary sailors, and proceeded to the Admiral's house,
wipers hie dined with the principals of all the public department'
likt pen. He will return to Bushy to-morrow morning. It h
with great regret we notice a melancholy accident which happened
alas morning to two men (named atamitassix and Islit.t.ia), be-
longing to the Royal Artillery, who were employed loading one
of the guns at the Queen's Battery, to salute the Lord High Admiral.
They had Bred the gun once, and half loaded it again, when it went
off, and most shockingly mutilated them, blowing them off the
rampart. They were immediately removed to the Hospital. One
of them-had his leg severely injured, the knee joint laid open, am'
the thigh fractured in two places, both arms totally destroyed elo.
the elbows, and the face dreadfully burnt and contused. This poor
Meowdied almost as peon as he reached the Hospital. The other
had his left arm totally shattered below the elbow, the buttin
part of the sleeve of hit coat foried into the muscular part of
chest on the left dde, and the legs and face much injured by the
esploslon; the left arm was amputated, and he is now as well as ens
reasonably be expected. •
jtttsH WIT.—In repairing the street in which Surgeon
Abernethy resides, it happened lately that ihelaving
stones were accumulated near his door. The Doctor,
in anger, remonstrated with a Paddy labourer on the
.occasion, and. the following dialogue ensued:.. Dr. A.
Why the D—l have you laid your rubbish opposite my
door, where so many carriages are daily stopping ?
Pat—Fait, your honour, it must be laid somewhere till
the strait is minded. Dr—lt may be so, but it must
not be laid there. Pat—Where can I put it, then, your
honour ? (with a significant. puzzler of a look) Dr—
Put it in h-11, and be, acc. Bce. if you like. Pat—May-
.lx, I'd better put it in heaven, your honour, it would
be more out of your houovr's way I—Literary Gaiette.

for the purpose of hearing and deciding upon the claims of invalid
sailors and marines, whose length of setvice, &c. entitled them to
be admitted either as in or out pensioners to the Royal Hospital,

the closeof the business 20 claimants were placed upon the pension-
Ustond 19 more were admitted into the establishment at Green-
wick. The following notice is posted at the Admiralty His

Wztipson, Frs. 3.—The KING sad the Royal Haute. I
hold attended Divine Service at the Royal Lodge this on
morning. His MAJESTY'S suite of apartments at the sou
Castle have at length assumed that definitive aspect of '
islae
completion, which augurs that t',e period is not far . to c
distant when his Majesty will remove to that princely earn
seat of his ancestors. The lout ensemble is brilliant in will
the extreme; the magnificence of the gilding being re. 1505
lieved by the fine carving of the pannels, and its very
richness chastened by the classical style of the orna• 5
ments and the appropriate variety of shading. In point *- kmii
of convenience—a subject ant the less to be.regarded anal
because it strikes the eye least—the new suite of rooms . Lel
present the greatest advantages, particularly compared "'"
with the narrow dark passages that converted many Oar
parts of the old building into a dreary labyrinth; as a tail
whole, it is now a truly royal structure, worthyVA that Mr
patriotic SovaairaGsr who has added to the reputation of .
a wise and good MONARCH the well-earned title of
