The Paris Papers of Monday afford no confirmation
of the statement we gave yesterday, from the Hamburgb
Papers, of the fall of V4lllll, and great doubts Are en.
tertained of the authenticity of the intelligence. Though
the statement purports to come from the Camp before
Varna, it is difficult to discover in it any directly official
or authentic feature, and it is not in the slightest de•
gree distinguished by those peculiar marks which
have hitherto characterized Russian bulletins.
We are also jubtified in doubting the accuracy of the
statement, seeing that eleven days had elapsed between
the surrender of Varna, or. the 7th instant, and the de-
parture of the intelligence from Berlin; allowing suffi-
cient time, if such an important fact had transpired, for
it to have. been officially known and published in the
Berlin Gazette. The previous accounts entitled to credit
stated, that an attempt had been made to take Varna
by storm on the sixth or seventh, and that the Rus
sians bad been repulsed with great loss I The im.
probability of the garrison surrendering at discretion,
at the moment of achieving a victory, is so obvious,
that we are content to wait for the official account of
the matter; and for the present most be satisfied with
expressing our doubts on the correctness of the Ham-
burgh letter.

Up to a late hour this day no official account had
reached Government of the fall of Varna; and the re-
port of the capture of that fortress is generally disbe-
lieved.

The Algesseine Zeihag of the 2Sd instant, received
this morning, contains no news from the Russian armies.
It appears from the following Report that the Cheeks
have lately gained some advantages over the Egyptian
troops in Candia :

VIENNA, Om te.

The Chamfer de &wise gives the following letter from Canes,
26th Sept. respecting the recent events in Candle, by which the
insurrection spread from the South to the North-west part of the
island, to the vicinity of Canes-
-46 On the 13th of this month Mustapha Pasha, Commander of
the Egyptian troops, received information that the village of Malan.
a military position, on an eminence, two leagues from this city,which
commands the whole surrounding pialn,was attacked by 2,500 Greek
insurgents. This point was defended by 400 men, under the com-
mand of the Parka's uncle. The Pasha marched with 1,500 men
to his relief. His troops made three attempts to ascend the hill, but
were repulsed by the Greeks, who had the advantage of neither.
and position. The Turks lost on the 13th fifty men, and the Greeks
fifteen. The next day 1,600 men arrived, beteg part of the troops
that Mustapha bad left at Apocoron, to keep in check the Greeks
of that province. They advanced towards Malan, and after a
sharp contest, relieved the 400 men who were blockaded by the in-
surgents, whom they put to flight. In the evening the Pasha
returned to Canes. The appearance of an English ship of the line,
a frigate, and a brig, which cast endure within gun shot of Cann,
had grittily contributed on the 13th to discourage the Turks and
favour the Greeks. It seemed to the combatants that the
English frigate had anchored just at the entrance of the

harbour—the Greeks, while they were fighting, called out to the
Turks—' There are the English. it allies, who while you are
here have taken possession of Canes and your wives.' The
Greeks, encouraged by the departure of the troops from Apocoron,
and their late success, now compel all those to join in the insurrec-
tion who bad hitherto taken no part in it, and it is to be feared that
the whole population will at length take arms, and come down into
the plain to blockade the city. This country would be then again
plunged into the troubles which caused dreadful distress for many
years, and which the wise sdininistratiou of Sunman Pacha was
beginning to repair.

" On the 14th, eight English boats came to Canea, to take In pro-
visions for the ships employed in the blockade, and received all
possible support from the authorities. It is estimated that here
and at Calinachl, near &Ida, they have purchased 130 to 140 oxen
in a short time, anti this diminudoe of our stock is sensible fek;
yet these same ships will not allow men that have been purchased
on the coast of Caramania to be brought to Casella. Captain
Francovich, who sailed from this place to Boudroun, was
expressly enjoined by the British Captain not to return with
a cargo of that description; and on his route, though be
had nothing but planks on board, the &gash cruisers
would not suffer him to enter the port. It seems that each of the
ships of this nation has received aircrew bistro:does, or that the
Captains act as they think proper. The follow* case may con-
firm this assertion. Capt. &Matisse, of the Austrian brig Lampe,
entered the harbour of Soda on the lid of this womb, with the
permission of the English frigate, because his cargo consisted only
of tobacco. The Captain then came by land to Canes, sold his
cargo, to be delivered here, returned to Soda, and sailed again on
the 7th In the morning to come hither. On the SW he bad not
yet arrived. l be surprise which this delay excited was put an
end to by the receipt of a letter from him, written at &amble, in
which be says that the English brig cruising off Clues had pod.
tively forbidden him to ester the poet, and intimated to him that

This cargo consitting, as we have said, of tobacco. b already be•
ginning to beat, and at this season of the year will seen be spoiled.
On the other band the purchasers of the cargo bad provided them.
selves w.th oil And soap, which they were us give in exchange, and
will now suffer considerable loss. The caprice of the English Cap•
tain is very injurious to many persons, as it has been proclaimed
that the only object of this blockade was to hinder the importation
of articles that might contribute to prolong the war, but by no
means to impede trade, which has so cruelly suffered by the cir-
cumstances of the times. It is very strange that an °Seer should
concern himself so little about fulfilling the intentions of his Go.

CITY, Twiny' o'CLocc.

Owing to there being no further accounts received this morning
regarding the fall of Varna, the Public begin to discredit the
statements in the ilamburgh Papers ; but persons who know the
veracity of the Hantbaugh arrespondenten, which dare not insert
information of so great importance, without its bet* previously
inspected by the Syndic, one of the Senators of Hamburgh, ap-
pointed as censor of the press, give it their opinion that it is a true
account ; besides, the Balm Hail is published many bouts after
the Coreenonsdentess, and gives further particulars. At all events
the Dutch steamer will arrive to-morrow, which. no doubt, will
bring Papers from Berlin to the 25th inst. Besides, by another
channel, the Prussian Sines Gqierts win sits urive, when this im- 1
portam mystery will be decided. -`-

HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK
Up to the present time we have no further information in re-
gard to Varna, the fall of which is much disbelieved in the City.
Accounts received from Gibraltar are two days later than the
last information.

On the 9th, there were 106 new cues, 22 died.

Private letters state, that the fever had communicated to the
neutral ground.

Letters have been received from Oporto of the I6th inst. which
state that stars are going on as ti.ual there ; but a hint is given
that some disturbances are expected In the North of Portugal.
The Consol market has suddenly taken a start, and got up to

Mr. HAVLAND, one of the King's Messengers, was
last night seot off from the Foreign Office, in Downing-
street, with dispatches for Mr. STMATWORD CANNING,
at Corfu.

Dispatches were received this morning at the Colo-
nial Office from Sir F. ADAM, at Coifu ; also from the
Hon. Lieutenant-General Porrsorrav, at Malta ; and
from General Dort, Lieutenant Governor of Gibraltar.
Dispatches from Sir CHARMS Comm.r.a, Governor
of the Mauritius, were also received this morning at the
Colonial Office.

Lrtters from Bengal have been received by the
Alexander, at the Mauritius, dated the Ist of June. The
indigo crops had failed for want of rain: the best in-
formed merchants at Calcutta had estimated the extent
of the crop at 65,000 maunds.
Gibraltar Papers to the 9th inst. inclusive have been
received, via France, three days later than our last ac-
counts, which supply the following melancholy list of
the sufferers from the malignant fever that at present
afflicts that fortress :
On the 7th October-661 sick, 97 admitted, 14 dead, 14 Mere
sick. 39 under observation in camp.
Sib Oct.-697 sick.lls admitted, ED dead, se °dicers sick, 65
under observation in camp.
9th Oct.-7211 sick, 106 admitted, 24 dead, 16 Olken sick, U
under observation in camp.
The private letters are still more unfavourable. The
fever had broken out among the residents on the Neutral
Ground. tiovernment had issued an order, forbidding.
in the strictest manner, the dead being taken on the
backs of men for interment, and had provided two dead
carts in lieu thereof for the purpose. Among other
victims are Lieut. ALEXANDER. of the 94th Regiment,
and DN. MORTERA and LOPEZ.

BllluHrom—Lady Bum:ires Physician, who is here,
and just returned from the Continent, reports that he
left her Ladyship but a few days since, and blooming
family, at Paris, in perfect health, with the intention of
remaining there until nearly Christmas, when they pur-
pose returning, after an absence of two years, to Eng.
land, with Sir FILMIC'S, who joined them in the French
capital almost directly after their arrival in that city,
from a tour through the Sluth of Fs ante, Italy, Switzer-
land, and part of Germany.

The prevailing opinion in China is, that virtue will
be prosperous, and vice miserable; but facts do not
always support this theory: therefore, they suppose
that, when the virtuous are afflicted, their virtues are
incomplete; and when the vicious are prosperou., their
iniquities are not yet lull. Like money out at com-
pound interest, when the payment comes soon, it is
small; when it comes late it is great. Retribution
long delayed on the wicked will fall heavily.
' The Excise Export Offices, on Tower-hill, were yes-
terday offered for sale at the Mart. The building was
erected only a few years since, at an expense of forty-
seven thousand pounds, exclusive of the cost of the
ground, part of which is freehold ; a portion is lease-
hold. The first offer was 4,0001. and no one seeming
disposed to advance on that sum, the auctioneer named
14,0001. on the part of the Crown, and for that sum the
property was bought in.
An accident happened to a poor bill-sticker on Mon-
day. under Waterloo Bridge. his known that a reward
of 201. has been offered to any person, who shall con-
vict the person, or person', who have been concerned in
daubing with tar, the boards on which the regulations
respecting Waterman's Fares, have been painted. Those
boards have been fixed op at different stations near the
Wharfs, and afforded a means of security to the Public
against fraud. In one night, however, they were com-
pletely daubed. The bills in which the reward was
offered, were polled down or defaced, and a bill-sticker
was ordered to fix some in places which were out of the
reach of the watermen. The tops of the arches were
the spots selected; the hill-sticker went under one of
the arches of Waterloo Bridge, and having been raised
up, extended himself for the purpose of sticking. At
this moment a waterman, who was near, cried out—
Halloo, you're overboard !" and immediately down
tumbled the sticker, apparatus and all, into the water,
from which he was with difficulty team&
