An Austrian vessel,the Kriouovas chattered by the Turkish Government to convey two cargoes toPrevesa. In order to pass in safety the Greek cruisers, false charterpardes, instructions, bills of lading. and other papers were prepared, by which it ap. peered that the cargoes belonged to a mercantile house at Cots stantinople. At the same time an agreement was concluded, de claring all the other papers to be false, and that really and truly the cargoes belonged to the Turkish Government. The vessel in the course of her voyagy was captured by the Greeks, and taken to the port of Spexala, front whence the Captain, by force and threats, contrived to escape; The false documents, however, remained in the hands of the Greek Commissioners of the Maritime Tribunal, by whom they have been publishe4.

The prisoner was a small, intelligent-looking man, rather shabbily dressed.

The extreme dry weather gill continues in Paris; 4 : and by all accounts, tlitoughout the whole of Fran ce ; the. heat,. tknallbjoilte what-leis clieesichathitherto . been, is still considerable. The liver Beine is now ie. mark able Inwood the 1111;40 ' 09n thereof between P..els and Rouen scarcely practicable, and fn. iTeWaaii be totally at a stand if the weather continues in the. same state, Of which there 'is at present every apo pearance. At the bridge of the Post Neuf the water barely Sows in five of the twelve arches; of which this bridge is formed ; and the sm tiler branches of the river is different places is literally nothing but is : filthy, gut eel% Accounts from the Low Vountries represent the . beat and dryness to the Same extent as in France, and the Authorities in many places, dreading the want of water, have prohibited the water-mills from working, and put the official seals on the machinery. Ire Paris again, in many instances, the dogs:tare been permitted at large, and new cases of mad ones have appeared. The thermumeter of Fahrenheit is nosh generally about eighty degrees. The di: at; as well may be conceived, is intolerable, and lion) the long. ae-• ties of dry weather, and the name of the.. soil together, is now of so subtle and fine a description, that when once raised by the motion of the carriages. floats in the atmosphere like adense fog ; and the in numerablequantity of carts employed in carrying stone and lime for the different buildings now in progres', together with the annoyance caused, and the interrup tion in the greets by the buildings themselves, with the scaffolding, stone, atid lime, in all directions, senders the city quite intolerible. According to the German Journals,, a Dr. Fischer, of Kornneubourg, announced some time since the present remarkably warm weather, and that the month ofJule would exceed in heat that of the years 1319 and 1822; itttcl further adds, that the westerly winds would only bring clouds, rarely partial rains, and never continued rains, and that the forthcoming months will prove a long and dry autumn, with great heat, favourable for the vineyards, and fine autumn mornings. The Doctor says the sun this year is clear and free of spots: The long series Of dry weather is rendered the pretest of almost all the articles considered as necessaries of life in Paris being raised in price, and many . articles have risen to a most extravagant height. The crops. of reheat throughout the whole of France are stated th carry the most promising appearances; the oats 'tarn. • scanty, and somewhat dried up, and it is feared that in the ensuing winter the cattle will be but badly off. T.-. 0 vintage will not, it is thought, be 'abundant, but the quality of the wine will, in all. probability, be fine. THE KING.
