LATEST FROM FRANCE.

BY the arrival on Saturday evening, of tho
packet ship Don Quxotte, Capt. Whitall, in 80
days from Havre, we have received Paris pa
pers to the 1st Of May.
We do not find in ,heso papers any news Of
great importance. The affairs of the east were
still uncertain. The Russians had not crossed
the Pruth at the las: accounts; and on the
whole, the war ike appearance had not IN
creased. The cold weather, we take it. 10 the,
cause.
A letter from Jassay Of 7th April, says, that
all the regiments of the Bassaralan army had
been reviewed. Adriaaople was thronged by
turkish officers. A misun nderstan nding had
broken out between the Asiatics and the SOL
dlers trained a la Earopaene. 1t is said tho
Turkish government dstrusts the conduct of
Austria.
The preparations for war had revived trade
ana commerce at Odessa. 1t is expected that
the campaign will be short. The merchants
have entered into extensive contracts with the
government.
There was long sitting of the Chamber Of
Deputies on the 29th April. After eoTae 9th
er business was disposed Of, the order of the.
day was called on the pro,eet Of the law rela-
tive to the electoral lists On this the vensr-
able General Lafayette appeared on the tri-
bune, and made q speech of considerable
length in favor Of constitutional liberty and the
rights of the people. On his appearance thers
was movement Of interest in the Chambar.
and what was singular, some murmurs from
the drOite or ministerial side. In descending
from the tribune. the old veteran received the
Fluctuations of great number Of the members
OF the cote gauehe, or the opposition.
The elections for the Chamber were still
gong on, and returns daily received at Paris.
1t appears that tho electors o. Paris, Rouen.
Vosges, and several other departments had

known to be sincerely attached to public liber-
ty.

ing intelligence Of ibe LIST inst. from Corfu
"The probable plan of the expedition in wes-
tern Greece is as follows-t the corps now at
Dragomestra, after being joined by division
expected from the Peloponessus. will advance
as far as Cassanochario, where il will divide
uto three columns; the centre will occupv that
place, the right will extend to Colista, and the
left to Lakes Small vessels are fitted up for
entering the Ambracian gulf TO support the
lett. IL appears that Missol longhi and Apstol-
leo are on the eve Of surrenderinQ 10 the
Greeks; and Prevesa and Ara are not in q
condition TO hold out long. The Seriskier re-
mains at Janna without funds; the inhabi-
tanis of that country are humanely treated,
and no wartax has been imposed.
