's • betide a selanadiged PreoshillifiSillc way of fir /eft MOWN (for mere lookers mare not very acceptable company) threw a feflet:e franc pieces, cue by one, en the some oeletweeithl stokes, each of which varied from ono to ten Naptieons. After twelve chances I had losf'about thirty franca, but the Frenchman con . rifted pitying,. end within, twenty minutes rose a win ner of three hundred Napoleons, which the banker changing fot,paper, he coolly put into his waistcoat pocket, and T alked off. A slight emotion was visible around the table, bet there was no other expression. I had now timeto look around me. and enjoy a little re flection for my foolish risk. It would be difficult to say whether more anxiety was displayed amonrthe sitters . or the sompaety at their backs. The attractive foci of all eyes were the everlasting varieties of red and black, thong% not accompanied by the usual grotesque mob of kin' , queens, and knaves , the latter being probably etc . ed by the jealousy of their living fraternity around la r the t - le. A strong and steady light spread over the faces of all present, and in some few showed the quiver. ings and workings of the most intense passion ; but the same stare or tip-toe and fear pervaded the whole as sensblage. Some counted their money wish apparent caution, and seemed to divide their winnings from their . store with affected precision, probably with an idea of tite winnings being unfit company for other coin ; whilst others listlessly played with their cash, or in a vulgar phrase, handled it like dirt, the distinguishing feature of the cold and calculating gametter, to whom money is an object of secondary concern compared with that of play. In the standing groupe I remember to halve noticed (frot(r.his personal resemblance to a friend) a young Englishman, whom I afterwards lesrnel,hs been a constant:visitor to that table during the previdur three months, and had then wolf about two hundred Napoleons. He lied just mintie d an interestin g women. about his own age, twenty-two. and had professedly takea up his degree in the practice of play, as an ele gain and honourable mode of subsistence . A few weeks after I met him and his wife, on the Italianlloulevards; in dress he was woefully changed, and in his countenance a gtsasay storeounken eye, and emaciated cheeks, bespoke some &song reverse of fortune: his wife too seemed dimmed 'by :sorrow and suffering might be traced in every lineament Of her features, notwithstanding the artifice of dress was caudally displayed about her person. Alas . ! thought I, how often is the charm of wedded life snapped asunder by man—the proud !or d .of the creation, and how often by his strong hold on her effectious, does he sink lovely woman still fondly cling lag to his disgrace, in the abyss of crime and guilt. But as such incidents must be common to many of your readers who have visited the French metropolis, I shall desist from further recital. The following outline of those receptacles of vice, News* Gaoling flosses, irons facts which I collected on the spot. aided by authenticated resources, may not prove uninteresting : Gaining-houses in Paris were first licensed in 1775 by the lieutenant of police, who, to diminish the odium of such establishments, decreed that the profit resulting Irmo them should be applied to the foundation of bus. pica's. The gamesters might therefore be said to re semble watermen, looking one way and rowing another. Their number soon amounted to twelve, and women were permitted to resort to them two days in the week. B:sides the licensed establishments, several illegal ones were talerated. In 1778, gaming was prohibited in France; but not ar the court or in the hotels of Ambas sadors,w here police officers could not enter.Bydegrees the public establishments resumed their wonted activity, and extended'their pernicious effect. The numerous suicide. and bankruptcies which they occasioned, attracted the attention of the Parlesvent, who drew up regulations for their obseivince; and threatened those who should violate them with the pillory and whipping. At length, the passion for gambling prevailing in the societies es tablished in the Petals anal, under the title of dubs or salons, a police ordinance was issued in 1785, prohibit ing them from gaming, and in the following year, ad. ditienal prohibitory measures were enforced. During the revolution, the gaming houses were frequently pre vented and licences withheld; but notwithstanding the rigour of the laws, and the vigilance of the police, they; still contrived to exist; and they are now regularly licensed by the police, and are under its immediate in spection.

And yet, in spite ot this usansvretable logic ot figures and facts, there are every day fresh victims who are infatuated enough to believe tba,s it is possible to counterbalance the advantages whieh the bank possesses, by a judicious management of the poser tire player has of altering his stake ! The regesioe formerly paid to the Governmeat for licences has recently been ttansferrectto the city of Pat is. In England, the outcry against gaming is loud, and desetrolly so; and the extent to which it is stated to be carried in the higher circles is rather underrated that eseggerated; but the severity of our laws on this erime, and recent visitations of its rigour, confine it to the saloons of wealthy vice. With or it is not a national vice, as iti - trance, where every licence, facili y, and `igen encouragement presents itself. Lotteries, which hse been abolished in England as immoral nuisances, are rated n; France s , with more mischievous effect, since ritlx is considerably less than our least shares lic e format y were, the lotteries smaller, and those drawn three times every month. The relics t f our gaming arisen% are only to be fend on race courses; but in France half the toys sold fi t a fair orfete , whre mo. tilers Ali tattles for their childless. ate by.lottery, whilst our eating at fairs is rftiticted to a few low adven• with for solar-boxes, *e.

But they keep up the dancing spirits of the multitude, and it will be well if their influence attends no further. PHILO. THE EVENING•STAR.

There appears a great inquietude in the Court. All the Capi talists are going to leave for England and France. , It appears, according to the Goodie of Lyons, thit' there is no , appearance that the squadron before Algiers will be reinforced, also that no landing will take place, unless the negotiations and blockade prove ineffectual. An article from the frostier' of Catalonia, dated 26th October, says--" The King's troops have entered Puy c erda, to the number of twelve hundred men. It is said that Caragol is in France. Estanys is said to be in Spair, but has taken refuge in the mountains. The Royal trupps have orders to divide themselves in columns throughout the whole of Cardagne." The Turkey Mail due this day has arrived, bat bring s no news from Constantinople in addition to vita has already been given through the medium of the French Papets. The following extracts we have copied from the German Papers received this morning: VIRNNA, OCT. 26. . 1 The Austrian Observer has an article from Constant. tinople, dated 10th October, the principal contents of which have been before published. It states, that just as the post was setting out news had' been received that Ibrahim Pacha, finding himself blockaded by the European squadron, and having ound, bn attempting to leave Navarin, that he could Hot effect his design without coming to an action, bad eturned to Navarin, where, on the 27th of September a Convention was concluded between Admirals Sir E. Codrinoton and De Rigny, and the Turkish Come inaodets. Ibrahim Pacha, Tahir Pacha, and Mohanen, by which tie latter engaged to undertake no further operations by sea till the receipt of fresh instructions hom Constantinople*. The Greek pirates, not only in the Archipelago, but in the more distant parts of the Mediterranean, nay even in the Adriatic, have increased in a manner which baffles all description. In the month of September alone, 50 ships are enumerated which have been robbed, pil 14ged, or entirely captured by Greeks. They belonged to all nations, and we are sorry to say that ten of them were Austrian.—The Oriental Spectator, of 22d Sept• gi►es, under the head of" Piracy," a long list of ships which had alb misfortune to fall into the hands of the pilaw, to which it adds the following observations: " We have never had to record in our Journal so many acts of piracy ; we should have entirely filled it with them if we had thought fit to mention all those, the particulars of which have come to our knowledge.— Unhappily, the accounts which we received, are not calculated to encourage hopes of a speedy alteration of this lamentable state of things. Our Correspondents is different parts of Greece write to us, that within the leo fortnight, all the Greek vessels, except the 22 ,whic ,, Lord Cochrane has with him, have received let ters of marque from their Government, and have spread themselves not only in the Archipelago bat in the Me titer,anean, with the firm resolution of capturing whatever comes in their way. We' are also in - totaled. that in all the Islands in the smallest dockyards, ships and boats are building, which can• not tv intended for any thing but piracy. as this is at present the only occupation of the Greeks in the Archipelago.

This is a proof that very sa tisfactory accounts must have been received from that capital with respect to the inability of the Divan to oppose the execution of the Treaty of London. • VIENNA, Oct. 27. The Z ant Din Miguel returned the day before yes terday n Hollitsch, and now occupies the apart ments prepped for him in the Imperial Palace. It is mid that Prince:Feliz Schwartzenburg will go from hence to Lisbon, and after a short stay there, proceed to the Legation at London. Count Moritz Diedrich ,stein, now with the' Legation at Paris, will, it is said, be likewise removed to the Legation at London. We are just informed that his Majesty, in an autograph note, has conferred on the Infant Don Miguel the vacant regiment of Duca.—Allgemeine Zeitung, Nov. I. • This being written from Constaatinople on the 10th October, spews the improbability of the statement in the Florence Gast*e of lath October, that Ibrahim had received, on the 27th September, dispatches from Constantioople, in which the Sultan demanded the 'immediate raising the blockade of Navarin, threatening the most dreadful reyrisels on his Christian subjects. We take this oppor tunity to warn the public of another forgery which was circulated muse weeks in the principalities, is. new copied from one Journal into another, and has even found its way into the Miwiteur of the 16th October. This prenoded document, which bears an the face of it every mark of spuriousness, is a Bocci Scheriff, which the s a l. tan is stated to have addressed, on the 24th August this year, to all the Vizir., Pichas of three Tails, relative to the Treaty of Pa. dilution of July.—. Note of Atari= SlOsercer. The decision of Lord Srowatt., in the case of the slave Caeca, has created a great sensation, and is of considerable importance, u affecting the West India interest. The question was simply this—Whether a slave, having once set foot on British r ground. and thereby ►ecome free, could afterwards, upon returning voluntarily with her master to the Island front whence she came, be deemed a slave The Courts of the island had so decided, and Wiress against their decision that the appeal was made by the Oa vernment Officers. Lord Srowsu. took a very luminous view of the cats bearing on the question, and decided against the Appeal, thereby confirming the slavery. The question of freedom, so very congenial to the soil of Britain, and so very intexoth/g to &tons, has been mooted so soften, and has led tcs such satiety et °Oakes, Mat at this time of day, when the 6 ' March of Intsilact" progmeiee; as It is said, moss advantageously, It Is not eatrtordinarr that the %seed* should utmost so mach of stage, otherwise than to question their Mond tendeecy. foe tip Basal.
