l he Frenchi papers of Monday, Nvhich arrived last night, are prineipally filled wvith discussions on the character of the Ministry, and a repetition of former reports respecting the state of Spain and its partial eiacuation by the French tro,ps. The following are extracts from the Etoile, dated Tuesday:- PARIS, Nov. Idi. Letters from Bagdad of the 4th of August contain the following particulars- " It seems certain that the city of Schiraz, on the left of the Per. sian Gulf, has lately experienced a misfortune similar to that of Aleppo. An earthquake has almost wvholly destroyed it. We ex. pect the particulars of this melancholy event. " The King of Persia has left Teheran for Sultania, where he is go;ng to assemble his family for the mlarriage of his grandson, the Prince of Kermanchah, with the daughter of his son, Abbas Mlirza. At the close of the summer, the King of Persia will come to Ker- manchah. Some persons pretend that it Is for the purpose of being nearer at hand to see the military preparations intended against the Pachalik of Bagdad. Sulem.nich is still occupied by the Persian troops. " It is said that AIr. Alazarowetha, rge d'Affairca of his Ala jesty the Emperor of Russia at the Cotif Prussia, has just been replaced by another person, wvho is to take the,tite of Ambassador. It is said that the Russian army in Georgia has advanced towards Erivan. " The province of Caracan is still in a state of insurrection. The Xing's troops have not yet been able.to subdue the rebels. " The two French officers who are at Kermanchah are still busy in forming and organizing new levies of troops. ` Letters from Odessa, of the 26th of October, contain the fol. lowing paxticulars:.Despatches sent bv the European Consuls at Constantinople, dated the 20th of October, fully confirm the im. portant news which we have already received. " After several uufortanate actions, the Turkish fleet had fallen hack to Alitylene: but the Greeks, who pursued it closely, appeared in the night of the 7th of October, and immediately made an impe- tuous and well-directed attack on the barbarians. Theis complete triumph is proved by the destruction or capture of almost the whole of the Tarkish f1cet. " As for the Egyptian fleet, it very shortly expericnced an equally disascrous fate. The fire-ships and the artillery destroyed a great part of it: the remainder shamnefully took flight. " There is still some doubt respecting the fate of the Capitan Pacha himself: it is very certain that the ship of the unfortunate Admiral has retrined to the Dardanelles, but it is equally so that he was not on board. According to some persons, Kosrew Pacha bad resolved to put an end to his ovwr, existence, to escape the dis- grace and punishment which await him as the reward of his un- fortunate campaign. According to others, he had arrived incognito at Constantinople. It is not difficult to conjecture the fate that he may expect there. " The news from the armies are nat more consoling for the Divan. Omer Brione had advanced from Joannina towards Arta, where he was defeated by Iaturocordato. " Thc Ottoman corps which was advancing against Atbens has mot been more fortunate. As tbr Derviach Pacha, his disasters are ftaly conrirmed: his army is really destroyed in thle fuU sense of the tern. Tbe fugitives who have escaped the sword of the Greeks, have spread terror in Salonichi, affd even in Constantinople. The (reek Government does not sufier itself to be intoxicated by these triumplhs: it redoubles its vigilance and ernergy, to complete the de- struction of its barb7.rous enemies. " Lord Strangford has officially announced his departure to the whole-corps diplomatique. lie has already presented ilMr. Turner, as British Charg6d'Afflaires in his absence. Before leaving this city he ,sarried on a negotiatlon in the name of Denmark, relative to the free mavigation of tle. Black Sea. It is not yet certain by wvhat route his Lordship will retirn to England. Notwithstanding all its pro. miocs, the Porte haB not yet wholly evacuated Mlfoldavia and lia - laehia. The consequence is, that M. MIinizacki is still inactive. and refuses, according to his instructieni, to assunse a diplomatic eharacter. "P.S. Fears seem tobe entertained that the Greeks mayprofitby these victories, teT blockade the Dardanelles, and cut off thc supplies off provisions for thecapital."
