A ship which arrived at Mlarseilles, in a fortnight from the Cana- ric. brings a report that a volcanic eruption had occurred there on ithe3lst August, at eight in the morning. The eruption continued -till ten lh the morning of the 1st of Septemnber. From that m-o ment till the 22d of September, it continued to smoke, and on the Jast mentioned day, at seven o'clock, it burst forth anew, and vo- mited from Its crater a considerable quantity of wvater. On the 21th sthe water still continued to flow.. but was less in quantity. The Augbrg Gazette of the 18th inst. brings a letter from Trieste of the 6th, which contain3 the following paragraphs C Captain Andrew Diamandopoulo, from Zante, in sixteen days, setates. that on the day of his departure he had spcken to Captain $;piro Cazzaro, who left Syra on the 17th of September. This navi- eetoer had seen an Egyptian corvette brought in there, which had Wbecn taken bv the Gyeeks in the battle of the 6th of September, near Stanchie. The Egyptian fleet, withl all its transports, was at anchor in the roAds when it saw the Greeks arrive in fiall sail. The E3gyp- sians formed their line of battle the action was very fiece, but it terminated with the burning of five orsix Egyptian ships of war, and eichteen of their transports. The e: reeks hatve, besides, captured 20 transports, and the corvette above-mentioned, which they intend carrying to Hydra. " The fleet of the Capitan Pacha was at anchor during the battle I n the Bav of Boudroun, where it remained wholly inactive. " WVe ha-e mentioned a man, named Prestat, lrho had endea- voured, in the United States, to pass himself off for the Dauphin, the son of Louis XVI., and wre also announced that he had embark. ied for France. Me has just arrived. He landed at Havre, andprec uented himself there in the character of Charles X., King of France and Navarre. As vet, he has only succeeded in proving himself a snadIman, and, despite of the numerous certificates and documents 'which lie produced, the King's L,ieutenant, Baron le Pic, has not hesitated to arrest him, and place hin, in safe custody." Lord Granville, who arriVed at Brussels from Paris on Su,day last, set out again on the 18th instant. for the Hague, from whence 'he was expected to ret?'rn to Bru.sels in the c,-urse of the week. The Exchange will be closed on M onday, the day of the inhunia. 2ion of the late King. LFrom the Foile, dated Sunday, Oct. 24.1 SCIO, SFrT. 17. On the 14th of this month, the Greek squadron, to the number of 70 sail, appeared before Stancl;io, with a dozen fire-qhips which it launched at once against the veqiels of the Capitan Pacnha, which -were drawn lip in two separate lines. Two of these fire-ships were particiflarly directed against the Admiral's ship, where confusion and terror werc beginning to spread, when two frigates coming for. -a'ard, opened a heavy cannonade upon the two fire-ships, and suc- ceeded in destroyins them. Those that were sent against the 2emainder of the Capitan Pacha's squadron did no mischief. Four others sent against the gylptian squadron were also kept d' by the artillery of the ships of war; but it appears that they suc. ceded in reaching sorne vessels of the convoy, for a pretty violent 'explosion that was heard in the midst of the action proved that some ,one of them had caught fire, and blown up. The Greeks have af- firmed that it was an Egyptian frigate that was blown up; but the captain of the A4naranth, who was very near the several squadrons, =nd distinctly heard the explosion, has affirmeci that the report would have been louder if it had really been a frigate. Hc is per maaded that it was a transport that was overtaken by the fire-ships. Letters from Prevesa of the 11th, 7th, and 1lth of September an- r.onnce that the civil war still continned in Albania, where Selictar Poda lias collected as m-ianv troops as his enemics, and where there -were actiens every day. Tbe environs of Joannina are the theatre of continual rabberies, as well by the Turks as tile Greeks. A hundred and fifty horsemen, of the corps called Dely, destined to join Jussuf Pacha, had arrivedi at rrevesa. The Greeks under the eommand of Captain Bango have advanced into the territory oftl Arta, so as to interrupt all the communications ot that place. Oiner :Pcha left his nephew, Achrnet, with 500 mcni in his camp of Car- vyawari, in Acarnania, and advanced with 2,000 men to raise the blockade of Arts. He went to Vrachori. whete he surprised come Greeks at work in the fields. killed 15, and carried ofl 20 rd.sse?ter from their cause. and now a partisan of 6mner Pacha, that the plans of the Ottoman Governmiient were totally defeated, that the TMArfe where every were beaten, and that the expedition of the Pacha of Elypt was partly destroyed-that, in short. it was fittiiig that he should think of making reparation for Ihis fauilts, by rendering some service to his country. This letter fell into the hands of Omer Pacha, and has greatly lessened his confidence in Karnakioti, who lias found it Tery difficwlt to recover his good graces. FRENCIJ PAPERS. PARTS. OCT. 23.
