The Pat-is papers of Saturday, which arrived last night, v:ontain, no news. The sensible French Royalists (now that a schism has taken place in their party) speak against the ,Wstern at present pursued in and towards Spain, with as mnuch energy and freedom as the French Constitutional. LS, or the great body of the English nation. WVe hail this change as the forerunner of a better system, and are parti- cularly pleasedl to see that able andl active paper, the Journal dee Debats, taking the lead. lWrhile M1. de C'ITA- TFAUBhlAnsN, remained in the Ministry, it could not well entertain us with the waste of French resources ii Spain, andl the hopeless prospect of tranquillity oin the system of an inactive protracted military occupatioPn ot the kingdom. 7Put now,sincebyhis dimissal it has 1Wen left to the free ex- wreziionofhis"tPvnsentimellLsw othour the bias of friendship or the hope of fayour, we. lear of the robbery of France to prolong anarchy on1 the other sile of the Pyreniees. 'ie ('abinets, rof Europe," it observes, " follow witlh a c'urious ',ye the President of the Council in the difficult atte ,nrtto pacify Spain, in which lie does not appear to siuceeed. Wlhat has lie done ? What doets he do ? ''W,hat is he going to (to?-Nothing at all." It is saidI in the Gonstitiltionnel that Prince POLIGNAC, fliv French Ambassador at London, was expected at Paris on Saturday. W1'e subjoin a few extracts:- (Fromn the Etoile, dated Sunday, Oct. 17.) " PARIS, OCT. flt i A niass was celebrated ta.day, in the chapel of the palace of the Tuileries, for the repose of the soul of Maria Antoinette ofAustria, Queen of France. Their Royal Highnesses the Dauphin anid'ihe Dauphiness, the Duchess of Berry, the Duke of Bourbon, and the Duke of Orleans werc present, as well as the great Of icers, anu,q the King's Household. The Excharge, the Aluscum, andl'il Theatres are closed to-day. " Letters from Odessa of the Nthh of Septemnber contain news from (' on,a.ntitnople of the l9th. At that tinme L,ord Strangford had not ,juitted that capita]. He seems to be under some emb,arrassnent. The courier who brougnt him from St. Petersburgh the official in- formation of the appoinment of the 'Marquis de Ribeaupierre to the post of Ambassador at Constantinople, doubtless delivered to hin otber desIatches, informing him that the Anibassatlor will not re- pair to his post till after the entire conclusion of the negotiations be- tween Russia, Austria, and England, on the affiairs of Greece. 'i This circumstance, added to the sudden deposition of the Grand Vi.ier, and to other events paLssing in t le E,ast (thi new invaCi n at' stu, Persians), is calculated to render the situation Of lord Strangford, 'with respect to the Ottoman Porte, very complicated and embar- rascing. ; The Atug4barg Gazele of tci hi), w':ich gives these account:s from )Odessa, contains also a letter from Trieste, in whic!t wc filnd the follovming statement :_ "According to account; frommCorfu, of the20th ofSeptember, Ahich, it is true, require confirmation, the Egyptian feet has been attacked by Admiral Aliaulis,at Zea, were it was endeavouring to effect a landing destined against Athens. The Greeks burnt thrce of the enemvy's frigates, as well as some smaller vessels, and captur- ed besides 80 transports. The remainder disperseA. It is reported that Ibrahim Paclsa, eon of the Viceroy ofEgypt, Mas on board one of the frigates that were blown up. " The SaUle news has been received at Zante, with some modifica- io.ns. lt is, however, desirable to wait tar more precise infornmation. A decree of the King of Spaill, just published in Catalonia, orders the universities of the kingdom to be closed, till a general plan of public instrucction, which a special committee has been or- dered to draw up and lay before hin, hall have recaived imis appro- bation."
