The Paris Papers received4aat night, contain advices front Constantinople to the 3d instant, but they add little • to the Intelligente previously received from that quarter. The' Moxiteur contains a letter from Constantinople, according to which, the Patriarch had presented to the Kiaja Bey ninety seven acts of submission of the Greek Capitani and Primates. The Qualidiessne also has as article purporting to be a peti- tion addressed by the twelve Primates of districts in Amelia to the Patriarch, imploring absolution for having rebelled against the Porte, and expressing them selves grateful for the pardon which they had received frees the Seraskier. - The Sut.risie still demists; and still the Powers of Europe grant him respite! 'Sure sufficient time has been squandeied, sufficient money lost, and toleration carried to sufficient length. Every hour granted to the wily despot adds howl, to his force, and handy weakens the cause of Greece, of t;hristianity, and of Freedom! The attempted escape from Navaiin has been of some use: it has sheens that Austria has actively taken part against the Grecian cause. Our Saturday's Paper contained a letter from an old and highly-valued Correspondent, on a subject, which, considering the increasing numbers yearly infected with the manic of foreign peregrination, must be one of pretty peneral interest. We hope that our Readers will be often benefited by articles from the same source. Worthy as is the theme which occupied his pen in the letter in qutstion, we could have wished that in com bating the gigantic vice P. P. attacks, he had taken a more general field—that he had aimed his blows rather at the whole system of continental gambling so peen liary encouraged, and se ass fully thriving in the capital df France, than so to have confined the scope of his attack, as to "Zondeseend to the notice of an obscure horde of mess, who, already despived by the very large butt of their highly respectable fellow citizens, meri t , but silent contempt. or at most the regard of pity !

SHIPPING of FRANCIL--It appears, from a very 10- teresting document in the Journal du Havre, that the shipping of France amounts at present to 820 vessels, in foreign trade, out of Europe; within Europe, and including the fisheries of Newfoundland, 1,800; Co sating trade, 5.380. In all 8,000 vessels, bearing a bur den of 144,000 tons, manned by 57,000 men, who joined I to those attached to the war service,form together 80;000 effective men. The same document states that there are now 832 vessels preparing by the commercial in west of the coentry, namely, for the voyage round the world, returning by China, 6; the East Indies, 35; Boutbnn and Mauritius. 70; the South Sea, , 25; Brasil, 65 ; the Plate river. 20; Mesico,4o ; Colons bia, 9.5 ; Cuba, 60 ; 'Hayti, 60; United States of Ame rica, 35; Antilles, 20; Cayenne, 95 ; Senegal andGoree, 40; Martinique and Guadeloupe, 300; whale fishery, 6. The.populaton of France engaged in its naval affairs is oak slated at three millions.—Constilutionnel. ALIZANDRIA,Auca. i7.—Letters from Alexandria say, the satisfactory result of Major Cradock's mission to this country has been confirmed to us from weber authentic sources, though it is certainly not the Pacha's intention at present to declare himself independent of the Porte, as asserted in the Ft ench Papers, nor to take the initiative in withdrawing horn the contest with. the Greeks, before the Grand Seignior has manifested his inten tions in this respect. Indeed, it could never have been expected by the British Government, that the DACHA could so far compromise his reputation with the Turkish nation, as openly to set so bad an example, in what is considered by the bulk of the people in the light of a religions warfare. The Mary, SNAITH, arrived safely last night under convoy of the Gannet, which vessel has been fortunate enough to capture and send into Malta two ef. the most actiie-Greek pirates, a schooner and a brig, manned with SO and 90 men. On board one of them was found the entire cargo of a Maltese brig, plundered a few days before. ST4 / 4FORD coax Miraxs.T.—ln consequence of , its 'being understood that the Lords of the Treasury have declared that the late regulations affecting the molesters and brewers should be repealed, or at all events not enforced for the present, barley improved in price, and snore business was done on Friday than on the two or three preceding market days. On Friday week last, both the price of and the demand for bars ley had increased, the buyers having come to the deter oin:Won et incurring the penalty, in order to under stand the law. But the panic had set the threshing. machines to work, which so overstocked the market, that Ate businesr transacted was sufficiently apparent to bripire much hope for the better. It may be weeds while to state here, that a threshing ma shine on the present construction, worked by six or seven horses, and, attended by five men and two women, will prepare as much grain for the market iu one day, as could be produced by manual labour in a fortnight or three weeks. Wheat remains still low: Wheat, in dry condition, from 52 to 56; ditto, raw, ,him 40 to 46 ; barley (malting) from 54 to 35; ditto (grinding) hom 25 to 28 ; Rye, $O. In the early part of tbe,day the market was thrown iuto confusion by the appearance of a brewer belonging to one 'of the, eeighbeueles towns, who had issfersord evilest souse person for sporting% his reception was the reverse of gen McLeod witimately be was hooted off the " bill:" alter which two mew were publicly flogged for stealing a, basket of old isms, yogi, ice. and selling them to a man, f roal wham they stole them again. AWFUL FIRE ON BOARD A STEAM-BOATb LAST NIGHT. On Monday last a very fine steam boat, the Irresiari, ble (one of those vessels built by subscription, for the purpose of aiding the Greeks against the Turks, and intended to be seat net - immediately to Lord Cochran.), left Limehouse for the first -time, on an experimental trip to the Note, and back again. She went on mini. rably ; but unfortunately, when returning e theytowahraddr Limehonse, close alongside a pla ce cal l ed the Halfway House, near Gravesend, at six o'clock l ast n i ght, she was discovered to have caught fire. This eilansitous event was occasioned by the s t ore coals having b een i p g la n c it e e d d, n u e o a per r to ce th iv e e fl d u b es y o a f ny th p e et b s o o i n ler o s o , u hoard, and was not discovered until the fl tales burst fork against the ides of the vessel. Every effort was made by all parties on board to prevent the further action of the fire,but on happily without success, as the flames spread with such alarming rapidity, fore and aft, that all endeavours to subdue the violence of the blaze, notwithstandin g the quantity of water expeditiously supplied by men in boats, that moved off from the shore to the assistance of the crew proved unsuccessful. The fiery element continued its devastating course until nine o'clock lie night, when the steam vessel was nearly buret to the water's edge. Two of the men on board were sevetely scalded in their efforts to secure the steam boiler, ka from explosion, in which endeavour they were providni. tially successful. The steam boat was valued at betwe en 9,0001. and 10,0001. SURPRISING FEAT: New YORK, OCT. I.—On Saturday lest a Gentleman of this city being on a visit to Patterson Falls, in New Jersey, in company with some Ladies, was engaged in observing the ingenuity of a Mr. Crane, who acs occupied in throwing a bridge over th e fells. After the bridge had been successfully placed i n i ts pr per position, the attention of the party wig d rawn t r the opposite side of the falls by the sound of vrrias r and on looking they saw A man making towards the edge of the precipice, which is supposed to be from seventy. , five to eighty fret in height. On arriving at the brink the man stood perfectly erect, and in this posture "threw himself from the rock into the water. Oncoming , near the water he drew up his feet a little, and as he struck the surface extended them suddenly and disap. peared. After remaining under water three or four seconds, he rose again to the surface and swam to a log roller that had fallen from the bridge, and to which a rope was attached. He took the rope in his month and swam with it safely to the shore. The men, show name is Samuel Patch, said, jest before he threw him. self from the rock, that Mr. Crane had done a glut thing, and he meant to do another.—New York Even. lag Post. Van Brothels, a Flemish statuary, was sepossa to be very poor. At his death his relations fried only's bad' bed, and a worse r hest of drawers. Ibey were about to . abandon their inheritor:cc, what child playing in , the room, discovered an old guitar, which he tried to move, but could not lift. They Tao to the instrument, and found concealed beneath its dusty surface, a large sum ingold, and 16 bonds of the English East India Company, each being worth 15,000 Imes sterling. Six years' interest was due on them to the sculptor. This enormous inheritance fell into theism& of fish renders sod stone workers; who from that time cut a great figure in'Atisterdain.. We understand Th at the Chinere Tarow Tree; sr, Sedum Ficerides of Linnius, has been introduced Ms the Mauritius, and cultivated v ith the greatest success.

The quantity may be produced to as! extent ; and, we believe, is likely to supersede the trade with St. Petersburgh ror that article altogether.

While the teading was in progress. the Kiwo engagml in a game of chess with the Duke de NAZIONSIL. "'Sire," said VOliAlltt, at the end of the Third Act; le I shall be deprived through your pretest occupation of Your excellent advice." " Not at all," replied the KING, " and to prove this, I will now poil out to you those change; which I think the most happy. —The King then quoted one hundred and eighty sew verses, made judicious remarks on them, and finisbeti notwithstanding by winning his game. LAROn APPLES.—Mr. H. FANKRUAII, of Woodwitle township, has gathered the present season a number of remarkably large apples. one of which weighed Vim one 26. and another 24 and a fourth one he basun' ns, larger than any we have yet seen or heard of—it measures fifteen inches and a half one way, and sines the other, and weighed twenty eight ounces sod a quarter.—Aaterican Paper. In a large chest at Hungerford, with three locks, is preserved an ancient bugle horn, said to hove has given by John of Gaunt, when he granted tie right of fishery. It is of brass, about eighteen inches lose; ' and on one side is octet," the relic of an inwrip. tion in old English characters ; on the other side" Has' gerford." In the Town Hall another horn is kept. of similar size and shape (having only a slight curve) but of 'more modern appearance: this is blown arr :wally on the second Tuesday after Easter, at the Heck. tide Court, to call Loge her the tenants of the manor. Sunday se'nnight the body of Mr. Was. LIMA of Hare King, Newhall, near Newcastle, was discovered bn the kit bank of the river Nent, partly immersed io the water, about .50 yards below Foreshield Bridge.
