rTherFrench morning pape5rsof XVednesday contain no news. We extract the following- paragraphs from the Etoile dated Thursday: " CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 10. " M. de Mlinziacky has not yet presented his credlentials to the 31eis Effendi. He is resolved not to do it till the Divan shall have completely fulfilled its promise to evaeuate the two principalities. A very energetic note is said to have been presented to the Government of the Sultan by several European Ambassadors, to urge this eva- cuation which has been so often promised. The Sultan, it is said, '.as given formal orders to that effect, but, nobody will believe the reality of the evacuation till it is effected. But then there will be a much more delicatesubject to betreatedof-namely,thefuturefateof Greece. It is already known that the Porte protests againet all foreign interference on this subject. Lord Strangford, in his last conference with the Reis Effendi, wished to enter into some &etyAoW joshAs Doi}it ln the Reis Effendi immediately changed tnugns, uuwfeyur, uma, , *.Vb- s Ulemas, and even the Chiefs of the Janissaries, wouldl prefer nege. tiations to violent measures: but since the' fall of Ghzdib Pacha, no concessions from thc Turkish Governmenit in favour of the Greeks can be expected. " Ibrahins Pacha, now Admiral of the Turkish fleet, has pro- ceedeel from Mlitylene to Boudroun. " ST. PETERSBURGH, Nov. 25. " Great establishnments have been made promptly in the principal quarters of the city to afford the individuals who have lost every thing shelter, fire, provisions, and clothing. Several charitable socie- ties emulate each other in zeal. The Emperor has already given a million of rubles; the ERnpress Maria 50,000; the Gran4 Dukes, each 50,000; the C(ommercial Fund of the Colonies 1,000,000 ; Count Scheremeteff 50,000; Il1. Alecheleff'30,000. " A charitable committee hIas been formed, and the Privy Coun- cielor Alexis Kurakin, who is appointed its president, liasreceived from his Imperial Majesty the following rescript Prince Alexis Beresowitsch, " The disaster caused at St. Petersburgh, by an inundation equally sudden and cxtraordinary, has filled my heart with senti- ments of affliction. ' " The decrees of the Supreme Being are-just and inscrutable. Profoundly submissive to his will, and pitying the fate of those who have suffered the loss and ruin of their propezty, the Government cannot repair all the evils of this disastrous day; but I have imposed it on myself as a sacred duty, to afford prompt and efficacious suC- cour to those, in particular, who have been ruined, and to the indi- gent: they, more than all others, are entitled to my paternal protec- tion. I assign them a gratuitous distribution of a7million of ruble, from the saving of the Administration of the Military Colonies. (flere follow the names of the members of the eommittee.) " I 1. The first care of the coMnmiEtee shall be to provide shelter and subsistence for th6se who are deprived of both, and irn general, the relief affordedout otethe sum assigned, shall be given only to those whose complete poverty renders it indispensable. *' 2. It shall 'ae exactly and faithfully distributed, according to the alletment made. 3. It shall be given promptly and without obstacle. 'These rules will serve as the basis ofthe operations of thecom- mittee. The sentiment of coinpassion, of genuine philanthropy,and of the duty owed to God and to your country, will point otttto you, and to your colleagues, the path you nmust follow in this great work 05 charity. cc I I remain, &c.
