We have received the French Papers of Monday, which bring gratifying intelligence as to the affairs of Greece. The accounts, which are contained in a private letter from Vrachory, the capital of Etolia, dated August 24, state that three victories have been successively gained over the Turks, which have de stroyed their general plan of attack, and ruined their army. It appears that the Turks first meditated an attack on Etolia,which was put into a state of defence. —l'he Acarnanians, on their part, firmly resolved to vanquish or perish, burnt several of their towns and villages of easy access, in order to leave no place of refuge to the enemy, and repaired themselves to Ma crynoros, to defend their frontiers. On the 10th July, CHOURSCHID PACHA, conform ably to the plan, divided his forces at Larissa in two, unequal corps. One corps, about 10,000 men, was commanded by flassaN Nona. This bold Com mander had promised, on pain of losing his head, to make a passage for himself across the mountains of Agrapha, to penetrate into Acarnania, and promote the entry of the PACHA of Ain. A. The second Com mander• was to force the pass of Maciynoros, jt)in Hassart PACHA, and then to penetrate with him into Etolia, to conquer it. CHOURSCHID PACHA, at the head of the larger part of his army, arrived on the 16th of July at Zeitouni. On the 20th, he attacked the Thermoplyrs ; the battle took place at the pass of Plichitana. The Ge neral of the Turks, fertile in stratagems, took no part in the contest, which he observed from a distance.— His army was attacked in front, and on the right flank, and broke in more than one place. The most terrible carnage preceded the rout of the Turks..— ODYSSEUS and CANTOGANNAC particularly' distin guished themselves on this day. The first repaired, l with a thousand acts of bravery, the wrongs which he had been driven to commit by his violent temper. CHOURSCHID PACHA, after his defeat, was pursued , to the opposite extremity of Trachis, where a great ' number of his soldiers also perished. Night put an end to the pursuit. At the same time HASSAN PACHA had penetrated to Agrapha. The two Greek Chiefs, ALExts and HUMARE, who occupied this country, had perceived the blind confidence of this rash enemy : in order to entangle him the better, they retreated as far as the bridge of Caracos, vulgarly called Tutaraina. This bridge, the work of the Romans, is the only one to keep up the communication between Thessaly, Etolia, and Acarnania. MARCOS BOZARIS setting out from the latter country, arrived at. the same point one day before HASSAN PACHA. At the sight of the bridge of Caracos a sentiment of horror prevailed in the mind of this Souliot Ge neral. It was before this bridge that his father, CIIRISTOS BOZA ass, reposing on the faith of treaties, was attacked, at his passing over with his family, by 13,000 Mahomedans. After the most heroic re sistance 300 Souliots perished, and 200 women, pressing their infants to their bosoms, threw them selves from the rocks into the waters of the Achelous to escape slavery. MAncos, deeply penetrated by this sorrowful re collection, exposed to his troops, in a pathetic recital, all the horror of the clime, and excited his compa nions in arms to take a brilliant and lawful vengeance. (0 The manes," said he, " of the 900 brave men who perished here, the spirits of the women are still wan dering on these rocks—an expiatory sacrifice of these barbarians may appease them. Soldiers, we owe this to those martyrs of liberty, and we will offer it to morrow F' The troops replied by a .general cry of enthusiasm. Measures were then tam not to allow any opening to the enemy. Oq the mat day, at the anisal af•HYekwPaana, • `~ " the noise of the first bring was heard ; the troops .lying in ambush ran from 102 putt; after several rounds they attacked the, Turks sword in hand. The enemy sought a place to .retreat i n shin. With the exteption of about 500 men, the corps HASSAN pe .rished.before the bridge. A smell number surrendered at discretion. Such was the end of this great Ottoman army. (This is'the name by which it was designated by the Turks.) The avant garde only of this rimy passed,• on °the 4th of July, into Livadia, when CHOURSCHIC was at Larissa. It had arrived - at Zeitouni in the 'month of June, and had profited by a moment of confusion, occasioned by some private quarrels of ODYssetis l to penetrate by a roundabout way, but entered into Peloponnesus ; it was also there de stroyed; and thus accomplished the destruction of the army of CHOURSCHID PACHA, arrived on the three points of Thermopolyte, Caracos, and Corin dila. Of all this army, amounting to 45,000 or 50,000 men, the Seraskier has only saved 6,000, who have retreated with him to Larissa. AlthOugh we have considerable doubts as to the extent of the successes of the Greeks, yet we think it is pretty evident that CHOURSCHID PACHA has suffered a great defeat, and that the plan of the Turks has been frustrated. The domestic news in the French journals is net of much importance. The Lazaretto on the french frontier has been broken up in consequence of the Ordonnance which changed the name of the sanatory cordon. The Ruche d' Aquitaine reports, that the Austrian Consul at Victoria had been arrested as an enemy of the constitotionaj system. The two Officers stated to have been arrested a few days ago in Paris, are Colonels DEUTZEL and FA. VIER, who had recently returned from England. The Journal of the Lower Rhine gives the following details concerning the execution of Colonel CA RON : 7FM 7 " ColOnel Caron, who was unanimously condemned to death for the crime of embauchage, by the first Permanent Council of War of this Division, the judg ment of which was likewise unanimously confirmed by the Cohncil of Revision, was executed at two o'clock in the afternoon, in the presence of a small de tachment of the garrison, and a numerous concourse of people who 'ere attracted by curiosity. The Abbe Schittig zealou.sly administered to him the consola tions of religion, which he received with humility, and he died with the courage of a Christian and an old soldier. Caron was alone in a carriage, amidst the retinue which conducted him to the place of exe cution. At the entrance of the horn-work, called Fink Matt, where the execution took place, be alighted from the carriage without the assistance of the driver. On arriving in front of the twelve men who were to be his executioners, he refused to have his eyes ban daged. With his hat on, he himself gave the signal. Immediately the muskets were fired, and Caron was no more !" FUNDS AT PA ais, Across,. 7.—Fire per Ceuta. opened at 9::,f . and closed at 93f. ICc. Madrid Papers, which have been received to the Sti inst. bring an account of the first preparatory meeting of the Extraordinary Cortes. On the morning of the Ist inst. the Deputies as sembled in the Palace of the Cortes, and Don CAYE-- irallo VALDES, President of the Permanent Deputa tion, opened the Session with the following speech: " Sextotes--The Permanent Deputation of the Cortes, in con• junction with all good Spaniards, rejoice to see the Rept esenta ayes of the Nation united in the sanctuary of the laws to secure the public liberties—an immortal glory which was reserved for them. The King (whom GOD preserve) has ordained the con vocation of the Extraordinary Cortes, for the objects with which you are already acquainted, and which indicate, in an unequivocal manner, that his Majesty has it in contemplation to ensure our liberties, our Constitution, and our absolute independenie, by the exercise of his ►sacred prerogatives. This conduct cannot fail to excite in the great nation of which we are the representatives, feelings of love and respect towards his Majesty, and to in duce the Deputies to spare no labour in the fulfilment of their sacred duties. " The enemies of liberty, who have ever attacked it ►y indi rect means, promoting discord and dissension among us, have during the List months carried on their work with unusual auda. city ; and though they have succeeded in occasioning much evil and dissatisfaction, of which the Deputation will in due time render an account, yet we know to a certainty that the great majority of Spaniards, rather than forfeit their liberty, will perish in union with the Constitutional King, who now calls us together to secure it. " Your predecessors have given you living examples of their wisdom and perseverance; and it is your duty to continue their works, in order to secure in an indestructible manner the politi cal liberty of the nation and the rights of citizens. All the efforts of the advocates of despotism, wherever they may be, will tie vain. Uniou, firmness, constancy, and prudence, have ever formed the constituent character of the nation. It is there fore incumbent on you to face boldly the difficulties which pre sent themselves; and, without sparing either the employment of means or of labour, to occupy yourselves with your duties, in order to maintain yourselves worthy of the esteem and respect of your fellow-citizen's, and to ensure for your deliberationrthe benedictions of posterity." A discussion on the mode of approving the powers of Deputies, and other business of form, occupied the remainder of the Sitting. On the 28th, a contract was made by the new Spa nish Miniitry for a loan, in return for which eighteen millions of•rentec are inscribed in the Great Book.—. The Indio:dor, which approves the arrangement, ob serve's that 66 the contract has been made with such advantage for the Treasury, that the supply of every branch of the public service will be secured, until the tortes decide what other extraordinary measures cir- 11 : 131717 ''' l leumstancei may 'whiet Is iligtaed a eifferent opinion. fix-report of DI A/AM.Ito be; to this country, is ral of the Sixth Military District, , seeded in that command by D. Moron. de VELASCO. Sir W. A'COURT, British Minister to the Court of Madrid, arrived in that city on the 25th ult. The highest marks of respect were shewn him by. the Ci vil and Military Authorities op his way from Iron to, the capital. Escorts of troops accompanied him wherever there was reason to apprehend that he might be insulted or embarrassed by the banditti of the Army of the Faith. On the arrival of this Envoy, one of the Madrid journals (the Universal) makes the fol lowing observation The policy of the . English Cabinet, which is at all times distinguished for depth and foresight, cannot fail to perceive that under the present circumstances the political and commercial interests of Great Britain are intimately connected with the Constitutional system in the Peninsula. The consolidation of that system is now the best guarantee and counterpoise against the preponderance which a great Power wishes to obtain in the balance of Eu rope. But be this as it may, the nature of the new diplomatic relations which the British Government is about to establish with Spain, through the medium of its new Plenipotentiary, cannot be long concealed from sagacious and enlightened observers." Colonel FREIRE de ANDRADE, appointed by the Portuguese Government Minister Plenipotentiary and successor to Senor de Cana() PEREIRA, has arrived at Madrid. The Universal says—i , It is believed that this new Envoy is specially charged with adjust ing a treaty 4 alliance offensive and defensive be tween the two nations." The latest accounts received at Madrid from Na vane, state that ESPINOSA, on leaving Pampeluna, on the 19th, instead of directing his march to Irati, as was supposed, had. .proceeded towards Tafalla This intelligence, joined to that which had previously been received of the movements made about the same time by the Commandant of Arragon, and by General MINA, had produced a persuasion at Madrid that the combined plan of operations adopted by these Generals must have been carried into execution before the 30th ult. and the accounts of the result were anxiously expected at Madrid. It is stated in the Indicador that an express arrived on the morning of the 29th, with an account of a r Dattle in the neighbourhood of Vich, in which MINA jdefeated the factious banditti, and took 800 prisoners. This forenoon we received a German Mail, bring ing Papers to a recent date. The Austrian Observer, to the 28th ult. is entirely silent on the affairs of the Greeks, which may be considered as a negative con firmation of their successes, as stated in the French Journals: while the Allgenreine Zeitung, of the lit inst. has as article dated Corfu, August 16, which contains a letter from Calamata, giving an account of the operations of CHOURSCIIID I'AcuA at the end of July, and of the victories of the Greeks. The writer makes Cum./R=111;s army to have consisted of one corps of 8,000 men under the PachA of Dram (M AOHMUT PACHA); another of 8,000 underTscHA s- KANTt Au PACHA ; and the main body, of 20,000 men, under his own command. The plan of opera tions was well laid, and the Greeks had but a very inferior force to oppose ; but ODYSSEUS and the other Captains took the most prudent and energetic mea sures. CHOURSCHIO, who had advanced to Fontana, was defeated in a great battle, which continued for some days, and fled back through the defiles of Ther mopylz to Larissa with only 3,000 men. The other two corps were likewise defeated, as the troops which JUSSUF PACHA had, landed in the Gulf of Corinth. Of 10,000 Turks who fought near Corinth, not one is now to be seen. The country, says the writer, smokes with the blood of our enemies and of our brethren. An article from Switzerland, dated 27th Septem ber, gives the answer of the Diet to the Minister of France on the subject of the commercial relations of the two countries. The following are a few of the most important passages in this document : " The productions of France, and especially those of its rich manufactures, abound in Switzerland, while the productions of Switzerland pay, on their entrance into France, heavy duties, and Swiss manufactures are excluded from its territory. France has partly loaded with duties, and in part wholly prohibited l i the transit of Swig goods, and all the productions of France enjoy in Switzerland an absolute liberty of transit. The steadiness with which the Helvetic body has alone remained faithful to relations which have 1 long since ceased to be reciprocally useful, its incli nation to believe that the evil would be transitory, and that friendship would furnish the remedy, have been attended with only disastrous consequences. Public wealth has diminished in a still more rapid progression, and the evil has increased with the ez- tent of their patience. " When Switzerland in its turn shall be com pelled to oppose a system of measures, in its own de fence, against the heavy duties or absolute prohibi tions which affect the produce of its soil and its ma. nufactures, it will take for its only rule the interest of its agriculture and manufactures. Consulting its wants with the same independence which it respecti . »~; ~. nations, it will always know how to vparate of commerce from all political views ; Switzerland forms a great estimate of its position and its people will always maintain it as hitherto done, in sentiments of good faith, and general good will." , Bsrs. s4.—metathques at It-tn.—Bank Shares 837.

He was met on the Heights of Bergimena by General Paez with 750 men; al engagement ensued, in which Morales was entirely defeated, and only 90 men escaped alive. A party of Royal Spaniards, about 400, landed at Ocumare on the sth, where they were met by 350 Patriots; a severe action took place, which lasted about two hours, when the Royalists were compelled to surren der, with the loss of 200 men. FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. Pensacola, hitherto considered amongst the healtly towns, has been recently visited by some cases of the yellow fever. The American Papers are filled with Reports of the Board of Health. It appears that the fever still rages with the same violence, and has made its ap pearance at Greenwich , the place where the sick have been removed to. The Exchange has risen from 10 to 13 per cent. Quebec Papers to the 10th September have been received. The following is from the Montreal Papers of the 7th ult. UPPER CANADA.-At a Meeting of Magistrates and other respectable inhabitants of the Eastern Dis tri ct, at Cornwall, on Friday, the 9th day of August, convened for the purpose of taking into consideration what measures were necessary to be ado• ted, with as little delay as possible, to make known to his Ma jesty's Government the very injurious consequences which must-result to Upper Canada, should the a; regi ment of the Commissioners relative to the B •undu y Line at Long Sault and Bornbai t's Island be carried into effect ; the Hon. Neil Maclean was cal,ed to the Chair, and the following Resolutions adopted: 1. Resolved—That it plainly appears to this Meeting-, that should the agreement of the Commissioners under the Treaty of Ghent, relative to the boundary line between this Province and the United States be carried into effect, the inhabitants of this Province will have no water communication by which they can transport their produce to the markets of Lower Canada. Q. Resolved—That it appears to this Meeting, that should the Lower Long. Sault and Bornhart's Island be given up to the United States, it will in effect tie surrendering all right to free navigation of the St. Lawrence. 3. Resolved—That a Memorial be presented to his Excellency the Governor-General, praying his immediate interference with his Majesty's Government to prevent the ratification of the agreement. 4. Resolved—That is expedient to ascertain, with as little de lay as possible, the width of the channel and depth of the water between Bornhart's bland and the main land on the North bank of St. Lawrence. By a letter which we have seen from an Officer of his M 4 jetty's ship Conway, we are informed, that that ship was at San Blas de California in May last, taking in a freight of two millions of dollars, with which she was to sail, direct for England, early in June ; so that her arrival may be expected ♦ery soon. Dispatches have been received from the Duke of WELLINGTON, who arrived at Vienna on the 30th ult. his health was rather improved by the journey, though he had been bled since his arrival. The books of LLOYD'S yesterday furnished several new examples of the severity with which Spain is en forcing the principle set up in the memorable case of the Lord Collingwood—that all vessels proceeding from any port of her late South American coloniei are liable to capture. A letter from Philadelphia, of the 3d of Septem ber, states, that at St. John's, Porto Rico, five pri vateers were fitting out fot the purpose of intercepting vessels employed in that traffic. The following is the list of captures ascertained yesterday : The Avila, of London, from Cadiz to Vera Cruz, which was captured and carried into Ponce, Porto Rico, isa; been con demned with her cargo. The p hoebe, of St. John's, New Brunswick, from La Guayr.t to Hambargh, has been taken by a brig and two felucaa priv teen, carried into Ponce, and condemned with her cargo. The General Jukson LastmoN, from New York to Corsi-83, wae captured off St. Cr oix on the Bth of August, by the Genital Pereira Spaniskprivateer, and carried into l'once. Porto !Leo.
