'The Frcnch papers of Saturday, which arrive( last night, 1 ,are chiefy fiiled withl p)QrLy or political discussion. The I Consti7utionnet contains a letter dated froni Corfu, Sept. !9, which reports advantagest gained lately by the Grecks, in Thw;saly, and in Eastern andR 1 estern Greece. The sulb- starTct of the acoount is, that Dervish Pachb, with 13,000 .men, had been repulsedl at Thermnopyla!, andl forced to re- treat on Laria4a in confusion, wvith the loss of 14. stand of colours: that the Greek General ODYtISaUS liad d'efeated a pwrty of Turks advancing fronm Negropont: anti that in AVWetern Greece Otner Pacha's force hal been routedl uear Arta. If only the half of tlhia statement be true, the cam- paign of ISS34 is ented. The folloving are extracts from the .11onitec:- The official part containa a royal ordinance, which determines that the credit opetttd for the 6linisters, for the expensesof accounts in arrear, shalU 'be inrariably closed on the lst of December, and 2nCfltI ma(' up to that time, &c. (Non-efficiai Part.) "AJACCIO, ISI,F, OF CORSICA, OCT. 5. The Session of the Coundl General of our department opened on the 21st of last month. Count Larntroy, our new Prefect, in the first sitting, delivered a discourse, of which vie will qttote the moot remiarkable pasetsee. " Tho Count observes, that haviig been only three mnonthis in the country, he, of course, must wait till a longer residence shall have nade hiim better acquainted with it, before hr can propose any ame. liorations or inrovatioise; and that fer the present session he shall content himself with asking a prohibition t) carry annu ;-' a prohi. bition, the utility of which, he gays, thas never been douibted by pru. dent persor.s; for by taking from thc hands of men who feel the influ. ence of their burning climate, thc deadly weapons which they never lay aside, the most triling altercAtions will cease to be tnsibirmed into bloody affrays, and the invetcratc hatred of families, being no longer fed by reciproca! a.% of vcngeance, will be gratlually ap. peased and becom_ extin)ct. " ThAnks to the activity nf my predecessor and to the public force, the number of persons who havc fld fr,nr justice, who infested Cor- sica, had considerably ditninished: there was still one obstacle to. their entire destruction. I"f they werc too cloAely pursued, they got on board a sbip, which conveyed them, in a few days, to the cOattS of Sxrdinia, where thZy waited for a fayourable opportunity t comie and re-cemmence in this depsxrtmlent the course of their robberies and crimee. This last resource has been taken from themn. At my requisition, madle by virttue oef existing conventions which had fallon into obliviorr, the (Uenoese (.overnment has determined on giving up these Cersioun roalefaotors wlho take refuge in the dominions of that power; and the receut example of Sarroehi, one of their most oelebratod chiefi taken by the Sardinian gendannes, will teach them rhAt henceorward thlir only alternative is distant exile or the capital. " ' Yes, gentle.nen, the progress of Corsica in the career of civi. lization cannot be overlooked; crires daily become more rare ; edu- cation, diffusing in the country ita snlutery influence, id preparing a g,neration vhich will love order and labour; even manufactures weem to be improving in a certain degree. We will not forget, gien. tlemen, to give to the reeneratinri power, tlle first auttlhor of theie benefits, the benefit of our gratitude: t Io-fold experience has. con- vinced you tbat your destiny ia itnvariably invo;ved in that of the augutt family that governs us: tte absence of the Bourbons was a death-blow to this intercsting islatnd, anid-wlhich awakens the finest rocolleetions..their presenie re-animates aad vivifies it, and seems destined to raise it a second time from its ruins.'
