Their contents, so far as relates to France, are of little importance; for we do not think any of our Readers would thank us for translating an account of the Fil,e of Sr. Lours. One circumstance attending it is however worthy of notice: the inauguration of the statue of Lours XIV. was attended by a man of the name of PIERRE Huer, of the advanced age of 113 years. On this occasion he received the Cross of the Legion of Honour, and the Prefect of the Seine addressed him as follows: " Contemporary of Lours the XlVilt, receive this token of trinour. In your person the Kisa honours the senior of the French soldiers. Born subject of Louts the Great, you have seen generations succeed each other, and you are witness that his reign, as his glory, are immortal." _ These Papers contain news from Spain to the 15th instant, and an article from the Austrian Observer, stating, that the Turks had defeated the Greeks. As this Journal has always been distinguished for the most marked hostility towards the cause of the Greeks, and has abounded in fabi icatc4 victories of the Tuiks, all its statements ought to be received with due caution. The following are extracts : PARIS, AUGUST cfs. Letters of the 15th from Madrid announce, that the Q'ieen was suffering continued nervous maladies, and it was asserted before the departure of the courier that she had demanded the viaticum. Before the Queen was so ill the King had requested a second time to go to Sandon, that his wife might take the baths. This was again refused to him, but not to the Queen. This Princess positively refused to go with out the Court. The new Ministry had called toge ther the official persons, and declared that all who showed themselves but lukewarm in defence of the present Government should be dismissed immediately. DIADRID, AUGUST U. General Mina set out last night with his Staff to tale the command of the Army of Catalonia. A de tachment of Cavalry of the Prince's regiment accom panied him as an escort. In a few days his army will amount to 26,000 men. M. Nabet, who acquired a great reputation during the war of independence, left Madrid in the evening, and took the same direction with his corps, composed of Volunteer Militia, and other Patriots, to the amount of 4000 men. Breda, Augusti, eight o'clock In the morning 0 I attacked the enemy at day-break in the streets of this little town. They are covered with dead bodies, arms, and hones. The cavalry, pursued the remainder, nearly the whole were wounded. I mean to give a little repose to my troops at Saint Celone, and from thence I will send a more detailed report. In the mean time I thought it my duty to send these -ftw words in haste, .in order not to delay the publication of the success." Details of the most atrocious cruelties, committed by the armed fanatics, have arrived from Navarre and Catalonia. The inhabitants unite themselves with ardour to the militia to march against them. M. Ch. Gomez. Intendant of the Countess of Ta lava, was arrested on the 9th of this month, at half past 11 in the evening. He is accused of having been one of the principal conspirators against the consti tutional system. The guards of the Palace have been doubled every night these three nights past. We have received a Spanish Mail, bringing Ma drid Papers to the 17th inst. and intelligence from Bayonne four days lacer. The following are extracts : BAYONNE, AUGUST so. Several letters from Madrid state that General Mina suddenly left that city on the 15th, in the even ing, for Catalonia, where he is going to take the command of that Province. Hence it appears that it has been desired to conceal the departure of the General, either on account of the numerous bands that are in the road, or from political motives ; for the Universal (by the last post) stated that the Mar quis of Castel Dorrius was appointed to that cost mand. Eight persons of the number that it was in tended to arre't at Bilboa have arrived at the port of Suesa. M. Martinez, Physician to the King, and two persons belonging to the Palace, as well as the Duchess dela Puebla, and three CUI Es, have arrived at Bayonne from Lazaretto. An the letters from Spain speak of the movement of troops in the Provinces, marchipg towards Cata lonia and Navarre ; but, for the week past, not a man has arrived. The accounts from Madrid to the 16:1 , , give the following particulars : We enjoy perfect tranquillity here, and the mea sures which the new Ministry have hitherto taken excite the most flattering hopes. If we may judge by the reports which arrive from the cities neat est to the capital, where the news is already known, we may say that we hope there will be a speedy termination of the civil war in Catalonia and Navarre. The speedy return of the Secretary to the English Legation from London, has given rise to various con jectures. They speak of a Treaty of Commerce be tween Spain and England, as well as the assurances of the latter Power, that it will not interfere in our intestine dissentions, being disposed to support the Constitutional System, and to prevent any foreign in vasion whatever. The Journals are u holly silent on this subject. However this may be, there is already much gained, in the Constitutionalists being free:: from the dread of foreign :ova:ion ; for they do no. seem to fear France alone, against which l'ower the Journals continue to use the most violent language, on account of the support which they affirm has been given to the Defenders of the Faith. For some days past a rigorous surveillance has been exercised towards strangers. Several who could not give a satisfactory account of the motives of their re sidence in the capital, have been obliged to quit it. similar measures have been adopted in all the other cities in Spain. • -• "77 .11 MI • a ' • will be peothned which may contribute to the happiness of the nation, mors firmly consolidate, the different parts of it. and hold an honourable place among the important antelioratlans of every kind for which we are indebted to the care of the Monarch, or which may be expected from it in future,' and which together comprehend all the great interests of the nation to which the protection of the Government is at the same time equally ex tended. By prescribing the execution of Article II of the fun damental Law, your High Mighdnesseis have offered the King means to give his subjects fresh proofs of the love he bears them. " The nation, recognising at the time the right which this Article contains, had in view only the sacred person of his Majesty. "The King, in making use of this right, has considered espe cially the interests of his people, and which will always be Lis views. " Provision has been made by your High Itlightinesses for the grit wants of a nation, which, after multiplied advantages, has to bear the great burdens which are inseparable from them.— Your High Mightinesses have adopted a system of taxes, the produce of which will be sufficient to cover these expenses, and at the same time to preserve the advantages attached to this system. Among its different parts, which perfectly agree with each other, that which appeared to present the most difficulties, has been almost unanimously adopted in the latter Sittings of the two Chambers. " May this unity of views and intentional be the precursor of the unanimity which will reign on the approaching Session. The King desires that this spirit of harmony and union may be transmitted by your High blightinesses in your respective Pro vinces. " Your loyal fidelity will correspond with this invitation of his Majesty. " I declare, in the name of the King, that the Session of the States• General is closed." This fotenoon we received German Papers to the 17th instant. The Austrian Observer of the preceding day contains accounts from Constantinople- of the 25th of July ; but this is not so late by one day as our previous intelligence. The article commences with an account of the 'severe measures adopted by the Ottoman Porte with regard to the Janissaries, in order to restore discipline and order among them. The accounts are, as may be expected from this quar ter, unfa: ourable to the Greeks, but they belay the fears- and weakness of the Turks as to the issue of the war. We give the statements, however, as they ap pear in the Austrian Observer. The Turkish fleet has lately' left its station off Tenedos, after being joined by all the reinforcements sent to it from this city. It is said that it will go first to Patras,to fetch the new High Admiral, HARA NICHMET PACHA, the news of whose death was false; on the contrary, he is said to have made some successful sallies against the corps of Insurgents that blockade Patras by land. The Egyptian and Algerine fleet was seen, on the 14th of July, near Samos. What has been related of landings effected by this fleet, on several islands of the Archipelago, is not yet confirmed, except that it stopped at Candia, and landed some hundred men near Suda, who were immediately engaged with the insurgents. It seems nowhere to have attempted anything. The month of June has been the most unfortunate for the Turkish army in their contest with the Greeks. The citadels of Athens and of Napoli di Romania capitulated nearly at the same time. The capitula tion of the first was signed on the 22d. According to the conditions, the garrison was to withdraw un molested; but it is said, nevertheless, to have been afterwards murdered. Coron, Motion, and Patras were still blockaded by the insurgents. lIA RA M an- MET PACHA, the new High Admiral, had hitherto vigorously defended the latter ; and the unexpected retreat of the insurgent Chief, COLOCOTROSI to Gas tuni (on the south of Patras), had been of much ad vantage to him. This was nearly the state of affairs when accounts were received of the latest operations of the Seraskier CHOURSCHID PACH A. It was thought for a time that he was detained by the diversions effected in Albania, partly by the Suliots, partly by the Greek insurgents : it seems, however, that this was not the case. CHOURSCHID PACHA had left the conduct of the war in Albania to the l'acha of Arta, who, with a cot ps of 6,000 men, attacked the insur gents in the middle of the month of July, and is said to have obtained important advantages over them, of which, however, none of the details have reached us. —Meantime CHOURSCHID PACHA, with the main army of 40,000 men (other accounts make it more numerous), marched to Thessaly by way of Zeitun, where the insurgents are stated to have received a severe defeat, penetrated through the Thermopylw, occupied Livadia and Salona, and, according to subsequent letters, recovered Thebes and Athens. It is certain that towards the end of July the greatest consternation prevailed in all these parts, and that l i, desperate measures were taken for the defence of the Peloponnesus.—To an army like that under CHOUR• 'CHID PACHA, the insurgents, it is true. cannot op pose one of equal strength ; yet their force would be great enough, considering the enthusiasm with which they must be supposed to be inspired, to make a powerful resistance, did not the want of harmony among their leaders impede their enterprises on all sides. Their ablest military Chiefs are rough soldiers, who will not be dictated to by the better informed political leaders, who are wholly ignorant of war. ODYSSEUS, celebrated in Europe on account of his political name, was neither more nor less than a com mon Mainote highwayman, on whom Ara PACRA conferred a kind of importance by employing him in the most desperate and sanguinary enterprises. This Chief, after having at first rendered important ser vices to the Insurgents, appears now to have met with an end worthy of his former exploits. The Political Janta, which calls itself the Greek Senate, sent to bias - 1 S two Officers, who had been brought up in foreig n service, to waist him in conducting his military ope rations. ODYSSIUS had them murdered without cere mony. On this he was declared a traitor, and excom municated. He then joined CHOUROCIIID PACHA, and has been of great assistance to him in his present ei -pedition.—UThis is confirmed by the accounts from Corfu.3—According to the latest accounts he has al ready met with his death, in what manner is not known. COLOCOTRONI, though of rather, a better character than Onvssaos, seems to be openly at •ariance with the Political Junta. He has raised the blockade of nitres, without any reason, and is even said to have recalled his son from Albania, where he command , d a small corps. DEMETRIUS YPSILANTI, whose p2r sonal character was esteemed, bad lost all credit, by his total want of military talents. MAUROCORDATO, a young man of much under. standing, and of great capacity for political affairs, acts now the part of a General, for which he is not qualified, either from ill-judged ambition, or from the real want of serviceable Commanders. His ene mies accuse him of aiming at the Dictatorship, which some accounts say his party has really given Under such circumstances the cause cf the Insurgents cannot prosper, except through extreme indolence and want of energy on the part of the Turkish Government. The annual appointments of the two Kadiaskers and of the Supreme Judge of Constantinople, has been made within these few days. HALLS SADE AEU , BEY was appointed Kadiasker of Romelia, one of the most important ports in the civil administration of the Ottoman Empire. During this last summer, the plague has appeirel in various parts of the Turkish Empire. Even e e capital and its environs ale not t% holly free from it. The same is stated to be the case at Salonichi; but it is said to commit great ravages in Albania. Alex andria, in Egypt, and Algiers, have also been viiited by this scourge. Aociusr 14.—Metalliques, SI S-;3 —Bank Shares, S4l 9-10. Accounts have been received from Algiers, which give the most melancholy descriptions of the ravages made by the fever in the provinces ; and the pi Intl• pal inhabitants of the Capital were in the greatest consternation. The differences between Spain and the Day are likely to lead to hostilities. GIBRALTAR.—EXtrACt of a letter from the :fig-1 to Lt.oyo's at Gibraltar, dated Bth August: " The United States frigate Constitution sailed yesterday . 1 - c:11 this Bay, with a contr4ry wind, for the purpose, it seernf, of proceeding to Minorca, to remove their depot of naval stores, in consequence of a peremptory order to that effect troll the Spanish Government. In the course of the afternoon, the On tario, American sloop of war, and Nonsuch schooner, arrived, and being admitted to pratiq.:e, at a late hour took in sonie pro visioos, and sailed again, at 10 o'clock last night, for Cie same destination as the Constitution. This stet. appears to hive been taken by the Spanish Government in consequence o: the late recognition by the United States of the South American In dependence." To-day is fixed for the K t NG'S depa: ture from Edin burgh, when his MAJESTY will pay a visit t , the Earl of HoPErovs, at Hopetoun Hoa , ,e. Should the weather be favourable, his MAJESTY will then embark on board the Royal yacht at Quee;lsferrv. or one of the harbours in that neighbourhood, and take leave of his Northern subjects by whom he has been so en thusiastically welcomed. A Cabinet Council we un derstand is summoned for Monday, in ez'ectation that his MAJESTY will art ive in time to attend it.— We need not observe that filling up the blank in the Administration will be the first object of the Royal attention. In the account of the civic banquet at Edinbur,r% it has been stated that a Ge n tl eman presente d a silver basin and ewer to his MAJESTY. This service was performed by Wm. HOWISON CRAWFURD, the younger, of Braehead and Crawfurdland, in place of his mo ther, the Proprietrix of Braehead, in the county of Mid Lothian, being the tenure by wh:ch these lands are held. To judge of the interest which the KING'S visit to Scotland has excited, we are informed that one house in Birmingham had sold two hundred thousand me dals struck for the occasion. It is said that, soon after the KING'S return from Scotland, his MAJESTY will visit St. Paul's in state, and dine at Guildhall, as usual after every Coronatiin. The ACTIVE frigate arrived at Dominica, from England, on the 4th ultimo, with the Earl of llusr- INGDoN on board (the new Governor), and suite. There has occurred in the Netherlands another and a striking instance of the opposition between the seams and feelings of the age, and the unyielding bigotry of the Catholic priesthood. It is well known, that though plays were at first, in modern Europe, the offspring of religions ceremonies, and have been sub sequently brought to the service of public morals, yet that players in most Boman Catholic countries are a proscribed caste. Their existence may be necessary for the amusement of a luxurious and literary age —• their exertions may be witnessed and applauded by King; Judges, and Ministers—their profession ma) be allowed necessarily to include accomplishment, and not necessarily to imply depravity—still the religious bar is not taken off. Instances have occurred of their being refused Christian burial; and we have before us an instance in which they have been refused Chris tian marriage. M. MOREAU and Mademoiselle Ltr- CILZ SAINTE, of the Theatre of Brussels, both, it is said in a French Paper, remarkable for their irre proachable characters, applied lately to a Cure for the nuptial benediction, and were refused, till they should renounce their theatric condition. If they did so, they might next renounce their life. The parties, after going to the confessional, and appearing at the holy table, preparatory to the ceremony, were com pelled to forego the nuptial benediction, and to be contented with a civil marriage. VIGO, AUGUST T. The 700 men are now embarked who have volun teered from the different corps of the army to go to the island of Cuba. They embarked in high spirits. They will be escorted by the Diana corvette and a brig. They are to supply the vacancies occasioned by deaths or discharges in the corps at the Havannah. MADRID, AUGUST 14. Theodore Griffin, a Frenchman, but who was First Lieutenant in the Royal Guards, and who was ar rested just as he was going to cross the frontier in disguise, was yesterday condemned to death by the Extraordinary Military Court. The two sons of General St. March, of Brodin, who were Officers in the Battalions of the Guards at the Prado, were arrested this evening, and with them a Naval Officer, said to have been Governor of Ferrol. Gen,: al Loi.ez Banos is assiduously employed in boding means to realize the proposal which he made without effect to the late Ministry, to increase the army to 20,000 men, which was to cover Navarre and Arragon, and, in concert with that of General Mina, to form the grand line of circumvallation on the frontier of the Pyrennees, in order to prevent the continual passage of factious people from Spain into Yrince, and from France into Spain.
