The private accounts this morning from Paris state that orders have been received at Toulon to get ready with the greatest expedition several ships of the line.as well as frigates, which are to be provisioned for a whirl* year. In the five maritime arrondissements, linCalinla somewhat similar to our impressment have been reserid to for the purpose of procuring men for this armament, of which tke destination seems to puzzle the writers, -notwithstanding the assurances given by the French Government *at it is, merely intended to obtain repa ration from the Dey o Anateas for a succession of 'k ip outrages committed on tench subjects. The last accounts from Algiers, which are dated the 18th May, state that the French Consul was kept under arrest in his own house, and strictly watched. The cause of this arbitrary proceeding was the refusal of the French Government to deliver op to the Dzir. NA 'DIAN Bailey, a Jew, an es-subject of the DST, but who bas been natu ralised for some time in France. He has also a house in Leghorn; and the offence, which the Div alleges against him, has not been committed by himself, but by his father, who in the years 1793 and 1794, had some commercial transactions with the Algerine Go- •ernment. and for which the present Dalt demands payment to the amount of eight millions of francs. Accounts from Cadiz state, that the Colombiart •atsers still remain cruising of that port: one of them his taken a valuable Spanish ship. We received this morning the Algemeine Zeitung to the 4th inst. Like most of the Continental journals for veme time past, it is almost exclusively occupied with the affairs of Greece; and this appropriation of their columns chews at once the greet, improvement that has recently occurred in the concerns of that country, and the intense sympathy they begin to excite abroad. The intelligence in the present instance, however, is not particularly interesting; and neither confirms, nor dis• proves, the report we published a few days since of the total defeat of the Turks before Athens. It does not so much as allude to that circumstance; and this silence is the more remarkable, as there was sufficient time to obtain correct information of the subject. Besides we have, through this char:reek - accounts firm Mitylenst, which, we believe, is no more than three days sail from the toast of Attica, which are dated the 10th ult. and from off Ceri'gn three days later, and these merely mention that the Captain of a vessel, who arrived at Trieste on the 27th of last month, met 18 or 20 Greek ships of war off Cerigo, and on the same day 29 ships of the fleet of the CAPTAIN PACHA steering towards hlodon. It is not stated whether Lord COCHRANZ was on board the former, or whether the Greeks intended to bring the Turks to an engagement. or merely to watch their movements. Be this as it may, the present statement is wholly inconsistent with preceding advices, in se hich it was asserted, that the CAPTAIN P- ACHA had received orders not to pass the Hellespont. According to an estimate lately published at Geneva by a Count Luszt, a native of Z ante, in reply to amtber made sometime previously by a Dr. Gong, the Greeks have always a force of about 26,000 men on foot in the Morea, which could be easily raised to 80,000, but for the extreme poverty of the people and the desolate state of the country. The Count even supposes that the Morea could supply 150,000 fighting men, if means amid be found to subsist s large a force, and provide for their f-milies at the same time. Ha divides that province into 24 Cantons or Epaschies, and assigns to each the tol.owing number of troops, digiuguishiug . 1 1 = those actually in arms, from such as ought be brought .• into the field, under favourable cheiadmances. rt RIPAICIiii.

A letter from Helvoetsluys of the 6th, mentions the loss of the Helena Christiana,Netherlands merchaptman,C a ptai n Arnim, by strikiug as she entered that harbour the evening before between half.past,seten and eight o'clock. She left Batavia the 25th of February, and when the disaster :occurred had a numbs( of passengers on board, amongst others, Baron as SALTS, Captain VAN Gaze, M. VAN Scuooa, and Mr. and Mrs. VANDER LAAR, who have all safely landed. The ship is stranded on the Goeder cide, without any hope of being got off. These Papers do not fill up the blank, left in the 4pm:ix* Zeitxxg, with respect to the reported over throw of the Turks in the plains of Attica. However Ithe following extract of a letter, which has reached us this morning, throws some light on the subject Extract of a latter from Captain Kamm to Captain Lamm, at Pads, dated Ancona, 16th May. " We have received news from Greece by a steam-boat, dated from the Camp of Athens, 55th April, which is authentic. The Greeks mitered Athena, sword in hand, on the 22d April, sur prising Rentals/ and his troops, and pursued them an hour and a half. Lie has lost all his besieging materiel. The Citadel has re. calved fresh supplies. &belts has also entered, causing his troops to defile in the public square." This, however, is net the action, to which we alluded on a former occasion, as the latter was stated to have taken place on the 29th April; whereas the present is the same as that in our extracts from the Pa, is Papers, and of which Lord COCURANZ in his proclamation, speaks, as will be seen in such very, high terms. As the proclamation notices another attack on the enemy, in the most confident anticipation -too of success, which was to be made almost immediately, it is certainly a strong presumption, that the first account of the total defeat of the Turkish Seraskier is correct. Moreover, letters from Constantinople of the 10th, from Corfu of the 7th, and from Zante of the Sd, re ceived this morning, all concur in saying, that the Greeks have gained a decided victory before Athens. Since writing the above, we have received the Haw. burgh Borsenhall List to the Bth of June. It will be seen from the following extract, that there is every rea• son to believe that the report of the defeat cf the Turks is correct, and that Athens is relieved: • VIENNA, Jung t. " The Austria* Observer yesterday gave extraets frost tire Grath Gazettes to the 23c1 ult. containing some news of the operations of Lord Cochrane and General Church against Itedscbid Pacha.—Today it gives a long account from its own Correspondent at Salamis, up to 2d May, which finds reason to imagine that the relief of the Acropolis may have been effected. This account states that on the 28th May, General Church compelled the monastewy of Sr. Spiridion, near the eastern shore of the Pircus, to capitulate; but the men under his 'command, in despite of the capitulation, murdered the greatest part ef the garrison ; on which General Church threatened to leave the army if the guilty were not punished as they deserved. Ten of them were arrested. During the night of the 29th nothing took place, but the Acropolis was in the greatest dis. tress and danger. Four thousand Greeks had marched towards Asomatos (north of the Pima.) to attack in the rear the fortified position of the Turks in the Grove of Olives, while the other corps were to attack in front : the Turks, however, were strongly intreethed at all points, and seem resolved boldly to expect the projected attack. dd The ship." adds the Observer,"which brobght the above news to Smyrna, was unfortunately obliged to leave Salamis at the decisive moment, so that several days will probably pass, before we learn the issue of the combat that was then impending." The PAris Papers, which arrived last night, (those of Friday and Saturday) from which extracts will be found in a preceding column, contain no other news of import , ance but that to which we refer in the previous article It was Mrs. C4wwtso, and not Mr. CANNING (as stated in the Court Circular), who presented the Am. bassadiesses and the Ladies of the Foreign Ministers to her Majesty the Queen of Wukramacnia.
