lWre received last night the Paris papers of Tues(lay. It is stated in a letter, dated Nauplia, August 31, that 'ODYSSEUS, the Greek chieftain, hadl obtainetl considerable advantages over the Tritks at Thermoopyla. The army of -the Grceks at Gastouni is saidl to be compose!l of 14,000 xnen. A letter from Madrid, (lated the 7di instant, gives us a repetition of the same mnelancholy scenes of dis- order and violence which have become habitual in Spain auince the French invasion. The Minister of IVar is said to have proposed to I-is NMajesty, the disbanding of some of the regiments lately formedl, because some of the sol- dicr5s who composed theta served in the Constititional Army, andl must thus have acquired ideas inconsistenlt withl the present system of Government. 'rise late Nilinister of 'IWar, General CRuz, and the ex-Ministerof Finance, ERto, are still kept in clQse confinement. On the 6th instant, xhree companies of the Royal Volunhiteers marched fromn the eapital to Valverde, at the dlistance of about three leagues, ;o suport the authori ty of the Alcalie, w hose orders 'hadl 'been disputed by the Royal V'olunteers of the place. A zkirriieh took place between these loyal supporter.s of FER- :D.NAND ; and the Alcalde's friends being worsted, lie )himsclf was in dantgcrof his life. COUnItOPALTA, the ex- IXinister, who, when lie was lately turnled out of the Cabi- 'net, was banished by the KiirG to Alneria, his nativc town, 'was treated with as little respect as this unfortunate .Alcalde. lIe was irtsulted ott his arrival by the Royalist 'Volunlteers, and having appealed. for protection to the Com- mnanatdant of the garrison, was exposed by this officer, duiting ;a whole day, to the derisioin of the populace, untder 1pre- text of detending himi from their lhostilities. Tite ex- MIinister complainied to the Ki ,N(, who issued a similar ide- teisive order to the authlorities of rhe province, to treast h;s Ceunscillors rf State v iith more cit-ility. 'rhe Jouuetal des -Debats, atter detailfng these and( similar taets, inserts a -vcll-written article, criticising the sy)tem plursued by France with respect to Spain, and exposhig the vactilating 2nd undecided policy of tile Presillent of' the Count- cil. Paris hls witnessed another of those (lisgraceful isceties whichl lhave fiequently olcurred, since tie retuarnl Dtf the BoUar soNs, at the intel-MnC1t o,' persons connect- red with the stage. W'hile the French people, the Trencllh nobiiity, an:l the Frenceh Court imakke (dramatic rerformauces a part of their necessary entertainmenit, even in Sundlay, the Freitch clorgy excludle dramnatic per- 'forrners from the most sacred rit,s of religion in iite, and 'rom Christian burial whenil deav. PnsujrPE, iatc an actor ,of Porte St. Mlartin, gave occ.sion to the prvse.ni act of tclerical b-itnry, antl the consequent explosioti of popular -Ielng. Ilavinig died suddenly on the nlight of thurs!lay se'nnighit, his father waited on Sunday last on the priest ,of the church o'. St. Lauvrent, to request leave for the per- formance 01: the usual religious ceremonies wlhich precede interment. The old mian experience.:d an absolutu re- fusal, and was told that thie botly of tio actor could be admitted into the church. It was tiecessary, therefore, to decide on commlllitting the co.pse of his son to the dust zvithout that eotnsolationt: but the populace was not so easily satisfied. As the funcral wvas proceeding to Pere La Chaise, a party of the deceased's friends cried out, " To the church ot' St. Laurent." This movement was opposed by a comn- mnissary of police, and the funeral processioti was interrupted till ani appeal should be made to the KiNwG. *Vhen the messengers sent for that purpose to the l'uileries returnied, the procecsion again took its original directioni, aridi the croWd was dispersed by thirty or forty gendarmes. We subjoin some extracts fronr the A'foniteur of Tues- ,day, atid the Etoile dated W1'ednkesday. [FFitn the :1foniteur of TueMtlay, Oct. 19.-Offici:A part.] " PARIS, OCT. 18.

(Non.official pan.) - "AUGSBU!RG, OCT. 11. "We have received direct from St. Petersburgh the following (te. tails; under the date of Scnt. 2S:- *", The Ministry has iust received a very detailed repott from General Sabanieff, Commander-in-Ckief of the Russinn forces sta- tioned in Bessaral)ia, upon the actual situation of Moldavia. This report has made the greater impression on the mindsi of the niem- bers-of our Cabinet, as it completely contradicts the precedthig ac- counts sent to the office of Foreign Affairs rslative to the departure of the Turkish troops. We are now certain that they still occupy the principality, and that they are not even taking any steps which indicate that they will soon evacuate it. It is not doubted that this news will make the Emperor extremely discontentedl with the Turkish Government, and lead to great changes in the policy of the Russian Cabinet. " ' The Emperor wiD be back in his capital much sooner than was expected. This is not caused by politieal circu[nstar.cs, but an in- disposition wh ich has seized His Majesty on his journey, antil whichl is ascribed to the season, which already begins to be seen in some parts of the enmpire.' "Acoerding to ourlast accounts from Vienna, the diplomatic in. teeeona-etbeween the Cabinets of Vienna and Paris is very active. The greatest harmony ptevails between the two Courts and their principal Ministers. "FRANKEFORT, OCT. 12. "We have just received the uniexpected news that the visit of their Bavarian !ifajeties to Vienna has been deferred on account of an in- ,dispositiOn which has attacked the Queen since her return froni A7ymrphenherg.

" PARIS,1 OCT. 18. " The Autrian Obse.erver of the 9th of tils month contains the following article:- - " I CORFU, SEPT. 23. We have just received thc authentic intelligence of the revo- cation of the decree of the Senate of Napl3i di Romania, which or- iered the capture and 6onfiscation of foreign vessels freighted for the Turkish service. This revocation took place before the Greek Go. vernmcnt was acquainted withi the proclamation of the Lortl High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, since the revocation is dated the 3d of September, and the proclamation the 6th.' " There is now no doubt, as we have already announcedl, that the British Government considers the proclamation of Sir Frederick Atar as nuilland void: this docunment has incensed all England. lf wentay believe the accounts which daily gain credit, the Greeks have given the Christiau renegadoesa lesson which is better than all irnaginable decrees. They liave . taken or sunk 81 transports, which European Captains have placed at the disposal of the Pacha of Egypt.

Witit the papers, a letter also arrived, from which thc following is an extract:- "PARIS, OCT. 16. The following is an anecdlote wh'ichl the Liberals are fond of relating : " By the accession of Monsieur to the throne of France, the com- pany of eirdes dut corpe of che Prince has become the 5th company I ofgar des d,L corps to the King. All the officers have bee l retained, thozgil they are not .ell of the higih nobility, and there are even so,ne Ipavenr,s among thern. | " The officers of the first four comnpanies complained, and de- puted the Duke of Grammont to represent to the King that the offi- cers of the Kitng's gardes dot corps had been at all times taken from the high French nobility, and that it was not fitting to introduce or to retain in that privileged corps new tnen, whose natmes were not illustrated by the splendour of an cestral honours. I Mlonsieur le Duc,' answered the King, ' I thouglht your military duties did not hinder i ou from reading the Charter. All the French are equally admissible to civil atid military employments._See Article 2.' " A scene of which we have had no instance at Paris fbr about 10 yeats, hws just taken place, to the edificationi of the devout, and to the scandal of the public. An actor of the name of Philipc, a man of sonse talents, and esteemed by the public, died a fe?y days since of apoplexy. He was an honest manl, a good father of a family, and very charitable. Though not rich, he lIad often given consider- able alms t, the parish. This morning he was to have been buried according to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church ; and it seems that the Priests of the church of St. Lawrence, where the funeral ceremonies were to be performed, accepted yesterday evening the sum of 40t) francs nts the price of thie service. But whten the funeral reachled the church-door, the friends and atteindants, who were pretty numerous, were informed, to their great astonishment, that the body of a man who as a comedian had been under the general exconimu- nication pronounced atgainst those of his profession, could inot be re- ceived withits the sacred walls. Such an obstacle, and brought for- wvard in suchI a manscr, excited general indlignation amon, the crowd: some cries of I Down with the Pricsts P' were heard. The friends and colleagues of the deceased immediately took the coffin on their shoulders, and proceeded to the Tiuileries, intending to demand jus- tice of the King. B But they had scarcely reached the Boulevard of Mount iMlitrtin whea they were stoppel by getidarmes on horseback, wvho, however, allowed a deputation to go to the King. At the expiration of three- quarters of an hour the deputation caine out ; it was said that the King had given the order solicited, and some persons cried " Vive le Roi." The procession turneti back; thcl hearse in which the coffin was replaced waLs surrounded by gendarmes on foot and horseback, who conducted the mortal remains of poor Philipc, not back to the churchi, but to the burying-ground of Pere laCChaise, without al- lowing it to receive those funeral honours which are not dletied to the greatest criminalls. The crowd loudly expressed their indigna- tion; they were not allowed to ctiter the burying-ground. As the hearse was gohig in, other priests in their surplices caine out: thiey had accompanied s6mc privileged corpse to its last abode. They were received with hissinigs and cries resembling the croaking of a raven. " When the burial was finished, the gendarnmes dispersed in small parties, who were pursued by the mob, and pelted with mud and stones. 1t is affirmcnd that thte Kiig was not at thc Tuiileries."
