FRENCH PAPERS.

PROM THE ETOILt. DATED.WIDNESDAY, MA! 20.
SALAMIS, MAY iS.
Conetusion—Fromthe Austrian Obserser of June 10. _

Lord Cochrane, before he left the vicinity of Athens
to proceed to Poros, thinking, probably, that the fall
of the Acropolis must be the inevitable result of the
events of the 6th, wrote on the morning of the 7th to
Captain Le Blanc, commanding the Juno, French fri-
gate, a short letter, in which he requested him to em-
ploy his good offices wi;h the Seraskier, in favour of
the garrison of :he citadel. Captain Le Blanc consented
to this, and immedia ely wrote to Redschid Pacha,
asking an interview with him on this subject. Lord
Cochrane had set sail for Poros without giving notice
of what he had done to General Church, who, as Com-
mander-in-Chief of the land forces, was the proper per-
son to make such a proposal. Captain Le Blanc, feel-
ing the impropriety of this proceeding, went to the
Phakrue to confer. with General Church ; the latter,
though he Kerne:C:l%l24.o the .gstoce;dirags of Lord
Cochrane, did not venture to refuse the proposal. The
letter of the French Captain .was, therefore, sent on the
9th of May to the camp of the Seraskier, who shewed
himself well inclined to listen to it, and replied on the
following day, that " the precepts of Islamism, and the
principles of the Portespordered pardon to be granted
to the rebellious Reyes, when they submitted; that the
too long resistance of the Acropolis, without hope of
deliverance,-was an obstinacy without object; but that
in consideration of the friendly relations existing be-
tween France and the Sublime Porte, he consented to
treat the besieged with all possible indulgence."
In consequence of this favourable answer, M. Le
Blanc, accompanied by M. de Reverseauz, another
Officer of the French Navy, who had arrived on the
Io,h, at Salamis, repaired on the 11th to the Court of
the Seraskier, when the following offers of capitulation
were signed on the same day :

" ART. 4. The troops of the garrison shall lay down their arms,
and retreat wherever they think proper. Those among them who

which they belonged.

M. de Reverseaux, accompanied by some of the
Seraskier's Officers, proceeded with these offers of capi-
tulation under the walls of the Acropolis. Gen. Church
had given a letter, written by him, to Colonel Fabvier,
which the Seraskier would not permit to be delivered.
When these Officers appeared at the foot of the citadel,
they were at first fired upon. Some time passed before
M. de Reverseaux could exchange a few words with
Colonel Fabvier, who appeared upon the wall, and
called out to his countrymen, that he did not command
in the citadel, in which he happened to be by chance.—
The proposed capitulation was sent into the fortress,
and the next day the following answer was sent to
Captain Le Blanc, by the Greek Commanders of the
Acropolis :
" We thank you fur the trouble which you have taken on our.
account. The capitulation proposed by the Seraskier, and olfaed
to us through you, speaks of subjects of the torte : there are none
here. We are Greeks, resolved to live free er die.

" If the Seraskier dealt.. to have our armss be kas only to corns
and take them by force.
We have the honour to salute you,

" The Acropolis of Athens, Apruso---(ilaYii):its27."
Captain Le Blanc brought back this answer on the
morning of the 13th, to the Phalerus, to Gen. Church,
who having heard the Acropolis briskly canonaded on
the night of the 12th, had imagined that the negotia-
tion of the French Officer had not a favourable result.
Under these circumstances, the General resolved to re-
main in the Phalerus, which he would probably have
left if the garrison of the Acropolis had accepted the
proposed terms.
On the 13th of May Commodore Hamilton arrived,
on board the Cambrian, with a brig and corvette, in the
port of Salamis, where the Talbot was already waiting
for him; and it is said that two more English men of
war are expected. Captain Hamilton met, near the I.le
of Scipho, 23 Turkish ships of war, two of which were
of 74 guns. These vessels were also seen by the Ame-
rican frigate the Constitution, which is at anchor
at Egina. The bombaschi (Colonel of the Turkish gar-
rison of the monastery of St. Spiridion, whom General
Church, by his personal exertions, had saved, when the
'Greeks, in spite of the capitulation, had massacred the
greater part of the Turkish garrison), had been received,
at the request of Geo. Church, on bo ,rd the Austrian
corvette I► Vinet Captain Korner. This Officer hav-
ing heard that it was proposed to remove the Turkish
Officer to Colonel Hamilton's ship, applied to General
Church, and represented to him, that the Tui k by the
terms of the capitulation was tree opt parole, and ought
to be sent to the Tut camp. General Church re
plied, that he was entirely of the same opinion, and re•
quested the Austrian Captain to cause the bumbaschi to
be given .up..

On the 13:h of May, Captain Korner, after having
sent word to the Seraskier, at his invitation tepaiied to

his camp, where he learnt from the Seraskier himself,l
that Ibrahim Pacha, who had received orders from his
father to join him (the Seraskier), was on his march from
Corinth, where he would go to meet him in a few days.
On the 14th, hs the evening, a very brisk firing, which
contimied about half an hour, was heard all along the
Tulkish lines. It was presumed that some great event
had occurred—perhaps a sally of the garrison. To.
day, the 15th, we learn that it was afeu &.joie of the
Turks, probably on the news of Ibrahim's approach, or
the arrival of fresh reinforcements frofn Constantinople.
The Greeks in the Phalerus answered by a brisk fire on
their side.

IRON THE CONSTITUTIONEEL.
LEIPSIC, Ruiz to.
All the news lately received from the North are war-
like. The fitting out of the.Rassian fleet at Cronstadt,
the great activity which prevails in the arsenals in the
interior of the empire, particularly at Tula, and finally
the grand review by the Emperor at Wiasma, are facts
•which prove that Russia seriously meditates the repara-
tiOn of the wrongs she has committed, in abandoning
for six years, to the mercy of the Ottoman sabre, a
nation possessing so many claims to her protection.
What, in conjunction with these facts, leaves no longer
any doubt as to the intentions of the Emperor Nicholas,
is the tenour of the letters which for a week past have
reached us from Petersburgh, and according to which,
immediately after the return of the Emperor, a mani-
festo relative to Turco-Grecian affairs was expected.
One of these letters has the following passage:—" We,
Russians, all hope that the document which is to be
immediately published will be drawn up in a spirit very
different from those which since 1822 have issued.from
the office of Count Nesselrode."
