The French Papers which arrived last night are occu pied chiefly with news relating to Greece. The successes of the Patriots by sea are confirmed beyond all doubt. We alluded yesterday to the plan of the Austrian and Russian Cabinets for the erection of a Creek Monarchy in favour of Prince GuST ayes, the son of the deposed King of Sw- pax. This statement is rendered more probable by a re cent military appointment conferred on the Prince hy the Emperor Of AUSTOIA. Tlie Canstitutionnel refers to the contradictory articles in the 'Ministerial Journals, as a proof that the French Cabinet is not agreed as to the recognition of the inde pendence of St. Domingo. The Journal de Paris repre sents the negotiations to be far advanced, and even on the point of being concluded, while the Erode states that no such treaty is possible. It appears by a letter in the Cosatitolsonnel, from I'ort-au-Prince, that a strange at tempt has been made to induce the President of T 42 to enter into communication with an unauthorised agent of the French Government. This person was an Englishman, named ARCHIBALD. Ile landed front -4 French vessel as Port-au-Prince in the uniform of an Eneith Laval officer, with letters from M. ROTHSCHILD, of Puiv, to the Corres?ondent *ef a mercantile house at Havre. The day after his arrival Mr. AteRIBALD soli cited a private audience of the President, who required to know whether he had brought despatches from any Eu c0.,21-impen.. Mr. ARCHIBALD admitted that be ti 'herd( refused. Su7el, the Frepch Coventacnt ill corzults its own dignity by adopting such proceedings as these. The Priest: In France are reviringerery absurdity of the darkest days of superstition. The Duchess of Resat has yen her consent to ba godmother to a church bell at Rouen, and the Ktrio, to testify his sense of the honour, has ordered 6,000 francs to be expended on the occasion ! When the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND left Paris he deposited 6,000 franca with the Grand Almoner, to be d:s tributed among the poor of the French capital. The Bishop of lisamorotrs has sent the money to the Cures, 'in order that it may by !Lem be applied to the purpose for which it was intended. [Frani the Etai4 of Sunday.] ODESSA, Jew: '26. The accounts from Constantinople of the 19th and 20th of June mute that the reverses experienced by the Cspitan Pacha are much more considerable than was imagined. After his departure from __!ytelene he had several actions with the Greek Adm. Sachtottris, who was waiting for him, and which, according to the Greek ac counts, continued from the 26th .of May to the lth of June, and always terminated to the disadvantage of the Capitan Pacha. Hs lost, acceding to these accounts, a frigate and two corvette., whidt were burnt. Another frigate, all in flames, woe driven on the coast of Syra. hlachtourie took eight brigs, twelve sloops, these schooners, and area transitions. On the 6th Jost a ilf i airopsan vessel met the Capitan Paths near the Isle of Mho. The Ottoman fleet then consisted of eighteen tail, viz. seven t4ree-masted vessels and eleven brigs. It was reported at Crnitantinople that the Greeks hid again at. ti lied the Capital Paths, and burnt another of his large ships. Same even relate at he has been taken prisoner, in endeavouring to escape; others lify that he hats been blown up. However it be, ali these reports have readily gained credit among the people. It is repurtedsharen the 17th Cie Sultan appointed a successor to the Capitan Pacha, in the person of the Paths of Scio. Our letters speak of the removal of the Capitan Pacha as certain. It Is not known what bas become of him. Several letters agree in c3n9rtning his deposition, and the confiscation of all his property. SEtzt.ix, JULY 1. Letters from Bitoglia of the 20th June agree that the Turks have been driven front Solona after a dreadful carnage. IFrom the Journal de Paris of Ilaturday.] F/WSILFOUT, JULY 10. Prince -Gustavus, son of the Ex-King of Sweden, has just been; appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of the EmpertV of Austria's own Regiment of Hulans.

The inane of the Burmese war can no longer be doubtful. The whole of Assam has yielded itself up to the British arms. The capital, Rungpore, surrendered by capitulation to the Company's troops, under Lieut.-Col. RtcH•RDS, on the lit of March, after a series of engage ments, in which the enemy was defeated in every encounter. The garrison of Rungpore consisted of about 3,000 fighting men, of whom 700 preferred remaining. The rat were, according to the terms of the capitulation, allowed to return into the Burmese territory. This great acquisition has, been obtained with little bloodshed. The Avsamese waited only for an opportunity to shake off the detested yoke of their oppressors. The same feeling exists through out Siam and Pegu, std the natives of those kingdoms are deserting the standard of the King of Ave, in order that they may join the British in effecting his overthrow. The Burmese Empire is falling to ruin io every direction. The inferior States over which it has tyranised,gladly give their aid to the conqueror, to whom they look to have their wrongs avenged, and their future independence protected. The difficulty of penetrating the enemy's country will be easily overcome by the assistance the invading armies will obtain from their new allies. Never was the value of character better displayed than in this war. The good faith by which the British name is distinguished, insures the confidence of the population amongst which our soldiery advance. Tranquillity prevails wherever the British flag waves, and the most abundant supplies are readily fur uished. The native troops have behaved admirably in the field. The conquest of Assam has been almost exclush ely their work. The ad vices from Rangoon are to the 4th of February. Brigadier-General M'CREsnit hail arrived there to tat e the command, while Sir Ancu. CAMPBELL advanced with the first di vision up the country, which was .in the most disturbed and disaffected state. Steam boats, it was stated, would take the troops up the river, but it is known in England that two vessels have been taken up by the East India Company for the conveyance of steam machinery to India, but that neither of them has yet quitted the River Thames. There were many reports current respecting a revolution at Ave, but they rested on no credible founds tion. It was expected that the authorities would submit themselves without resistance. The BUNDOOLA and Prince SARAWADDI were understood to have concentrated l their forces on the bank of the river, but it was not known at what precise point they had stationed themselves. On the side of Cacher Brigadier General SIRILDITAM was slowly advancing towards Munnipore. He had to clear every inch of his road through forests and jungles, al most impervious to the foot of man. At the date of the last accounts he was within 190 miles of that city, wltich is about 200 miles distant from Amerapoota, the capital of the Burmese empire. As the route from Bengal to Munnipore had been considered impracticable, the advance of General Su eLnHAM is calculated to produce a powerful effect, by distracting the enemy's attention, and entirely paralysing his efforts. The force under Brigadier General Moaarsori had taken possession of Laodhong without firing a shot. This place is thirty miles from Arracan, upon which he was marching as rapidly as the nature of the country would admit. The next arrival from the East will probably bring us the intelligence of the complete reduction of the Burmese, who are manifestly incapable of offering any effectual re sistance to the power they provoked. The plan of opera tions on which the British are now acting will speedily terminate the war, and establish our oriental empire in greater security than ever. On the 25th of February a royal salute and three volleys of musketry were fired at Fort William by order of the Gov salloß-OENFRAL in honour of the successes of Lieut.- Colonel RICHARDS. The Papers from Calcutta arc to the 3d of March inclusive. The news from Greece continues to 11Z highly favourable. The doubm which had been entertained cf the important naval victory gained on the 29th of May and Ist of June over the Turkish fleet, have been entirely removed by let ters received from the Island of Syra, where one of the Ottoman frigates was driven ashore and destroyed. Thew letters arrtlated on the 3d of June, and gi% e a detailed' account of the result of the engagcmerit. One 'furkish ship, carrying LG guns, which bore the flag of the CAFITAN Pm - 11A previous to the action, and one corvette of 3'2 guns, were destroyed by the Crock fir^-allips. On board of the fr the linta! !heal hed b: .- %!iarked, he - 'mom" bullion fur thipayttant, so much of the mili tary as of the expenses attending a naval equipment of si milar magnitude. Another Ottoman ship of St guns was driven ashore at gyre, and her crew, consisting of 250 Turks and 16 Franks, were made prisoners and sent to Napoli di Romania, to which place 25 transports captured after the action were also destined, and 18 vessels of the same description to Hydra. The transports were laden with military stores of every description, including 300 brass guns, with a supply of ammunition necessary to this field of artillery. Thirty Austrian flags, and five British ones attempted to cover this valuable freightage, but they were eli captured, and as each of them had an Ottoman finnan on board, they were condemned as legal prizes. It is quite certain that the Greeks are masters of the Ar chipelago. The following alludes to still further successes of the patriots, and as it proceeds from a highly respectable quarter, the statements may be relied upon, as being made in good faith on the part of the Writer:— EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ZANTE, DATED .1171:T 21. , The news from all quarters, brought by boats, is highly favour able; the victory over the Turks, at Salons., is continued; the loss is represented on all aides to be great; they say 4 090 killed and as many prisoners. This has obliged the Turks to detach a great part of their force before Miiisolotighi to assist them, and by (nears of a boat, just arrived from that place, we learn, that the siege has been raised in consequence of the great desertion since the victory over the Turkish fleet was known, to which they entirely - looked for a supply of provisions. The report is very strongly confirmed, that Jussuff Pacha is made prisoner at Salona. Every boat that arrives from the 31orea brings fresh reports of victories over the k:gyptians; it is said that the Pacha, being de termined to follow up hi, advantages, after the burning of Cala.. meta, had advanced so far in oilier to seine an advantageous pmt_ ' that after suffering a complete defeat, in which more than 700' Arabs were killed, he was surrounded by the Greeks under Cola cotroni. It is known that he is ha great want of provisions, and anxiously looks for the return of the squadron front Candis., There is, however, the test founded reason to suppose, that ' it will not so :.00n, if ever It does, return. I have a letter from my friend with Admiral 3liattlis, then off' Milo. He says that the remains of the Capitan Paella's fleet had jested the Egyptians in Suds, and that Aliaulis had also joined Sactoutis. They had together 70 sail, and more than 10 fire.shipa with which they were meditating an attack upon the combined furkish fleets in Suds the following day, and he says, they appeared so de. termined that he felt very confident the most favourable. result might be expected. Indeed. we hear by a vessel, just arrived from Casetantinople, that the attack had been made., nt least, the Captain supposes so from the heavy cannonading he heard on passing Candia. Letters from Ireland continue to give the most agreeable accounts of the improving condition of that country. The influence of capital employed in developing the internal re sources of the country is beginning to be felt. This is improvement proceeding from the best possible source. A much better spirit prevails than formerly. The 12th of July passed over without King IVILLIAM ' S statue being dressed, or any other of those painful ebullitions of feeling that were formerly of such frequent occurrence. Ireland owes more than it is aware of to the vigilance, discretion, and moderation of its present Lord Litutenant. CITY, - MONDAY EVENING. Scarcely any variation can be noted in the value of public se curities since Saturday, nor has any traneaction occurred worthy of public notice. The Consols opened at Ill! fell to 911 ;1, with. out any cause, and closed at die opening price. In South Ame rican Semliki little variation can be noted, except in those of Brazil, which are one per cent. lower, and which will continue to decline until his Brazilian Majesty learns to confine his ambition within the limits which nature has fixed to his empire. If he can prevent a separation of the Northern from the Southern States of his empire, he will display more ability as a Statesman than the world gives him credit for. As to the five and six thousand Ger man troops, by which he is supported, they are already discon tented with his Government, and he will find them a broken reed if he trusts his crows to their fidelity. Under such circumstances it is not prudent for hint to attempt to extend the southern boundary of his empire, already far too much advanced towards the river Plata. Ile cannot succeed in reAorin g any portion of America to European domination, and his own downfal will be the inevitable consequence of his present conduct, should he persevere in it. French Rentes are one-half per cent. dearer, and the general opinion is, that next month they will attract the attention of capitalists. It is impossible to anticipate the future prices of the shares of public companies generally. Many of then' will descend speedily into the tomb of the Capulets, whilst others will make splendid returns to the proprietors. Two Brazil packets arrived yesterday, bringing letters from Rio Janeiro to the 21st Mar, from Bahia to the 49th May, and from Pernambuco to the Gth June. The letters from Rio do not speak on politics, beyond alluding to the affair at Monte Video, which has been previously an nounced by us. They represent trade to be to!erably brisk in all the provinces, excepting in Monte Video. The Pernambn co let ten mention the high Arica of their own produce, and that the sales of European goods were dull. Extract of a letter dated La Guayra, May 29 :—Our cops have a most promiring appearance. Coffee and In digo look well every Whew, and our only fear is, that there will not be sufficient bands to get them in.

Indigo 24 per lb. The moment a parcel of Indigo appears, it is greedily bought up. For Coffee most extravagant prices have been paid. Letters have been received from Rio, dated May 21, with the intelligence, that en the ltd of that month Captain Grenfell was expected to sail for Monte Video, having under his convoy three transports and 1,200 troops, to reinforce the Visconde de Laguira, rho is in some danger, from the attempt of the Buenos Ayreans to deprive the Brazilian Empire of the Banda Oriental. The Buenos Ayreans claim both. Monte Video and the Banda Oriental, and the Emperor is determined to retain .them. Extract of a letter from Alvarado, May 4 :—" It is our opinion, and we had an opportunity to observe the country in the beginning of 1923, when we were last here, that no country ever recovered itself so fast and so perfectly from the evils of war as this. The roads are already quite safe and the police good. Justice, which formerly was not to be found in this country, is now promptly and regularly administered. The her of Alvarado has at present thirteen feet of water, and sometimes eighteen feet water. In the months of August and September there is generally very little we on the bar, but never less than eleven feet."

The latter 1141 been executed by the Rev. C. R. Sumner, D.D. Librarian to his Majesty, and appears to be done with fidelity 4 ,d !elegance. In its present form, the work constitutes a 'thick quarto, and will, without doubt, be esteemed a thee. logical treasure of no mean value. With a mind so highly 'endowed as Milton's, and so ardent in the cause of tee Christian faith, as his poetical works prove that b e was, the nature of an elaborate treatise upou the his favourite subject, may be easily conceived. The same logical force, and closeness of reasoning, an d t h e same severe style of composition rigorously divest e d of ornament, which mark Ms other prose writin g . are obs:rvabre here. The arrangement of the suhje,:t is clear and masterly, and the questions are argtv,4 after the fashion of a strict theological disquisition. Tb e !quotations from scripture are copious, and in eie 5 .,. jlection and application of them give evidence of a luminous mind, deeply imbued With the divine beauty and truth cf ,holy writ. There is scarcely a passage in the sacred book re. !irearkable fur sublimity of diction or sentiment which is L ot. to befound here put forth in forcible illustration olsoine dot. I trine of Christianity. The broad basis upon which the ; author seems to have proceeded is that of establishing the perfect harmony of the Scriptures, their concurrence with the doctrines of the Christian religion, and tl e consistency of the latter with the natural duties cf i the mortal state. • In the prosecution of this great a,., I deitaking consummate learning and pier! are CriCCC:% which entitle Milton to be ranked amcng the most emictat Divines of the Protestant 'Church. Much praise is due to ' I Mr. Lemon, of the State Paper Of fi ce, to whos e rca.arek the country is indebted for the discovery of this valuable 'manuscript. His subsequent inquiries have thrown much light upon the cause of its concealment for so long a period of time, which seems to have orison from its falling in to the hands of a suspected Papist, about the time of Titus Oates. It was well known that a treatise of this nature had been written by Milton; and as a prose work, upon the subject of the Christian Religion, by the author of Paradise Lost, with reference to which, indeed, it Ins, be regarded in the light of a companion, or commentary, by i • the same hand as the original, it mast evor b e regarle:l las a valuable and curious acquisition. IVe subjoin the preface, which, in the style and ments, has an air of melancholy and impressive earntcr,is about it exceedingly touching:— Jan Milian, to all the Churches of Christ, and w all who protest ' the Christian Faith throughout the world, peace, and the Re. cognition of the Truth, and Eternal Salvation in GA the Father, and in our Lord Jesus Christ. Since the commencement of the last century, when relit , ion began to be restored from the corruptions of mon than thirteen hundred years to something of ire original purity, many treatises of theology have been published, conducted according to sounder principles, wherein the chief heads of Christian doctrine are ea forth sometimes briefly, sometimes in a more enlarged and methodical or. Icier. I think myself obliged, therefore, to declare in the first instance why, if any works have already appeared perfect as the nature of the subject will admit, I bavenot remained contented with them —or, if all my predecessors have treated it unsuccessfully, why their failure has net deterred me from attempting an urdertuking of a similar kind. If I were to say that I had devoted myself to the study of the Christian religion because nothing else can so effec tually rescue the lives and minds of men from those two detestable curses, slavery and superstition, I should seem to have acted rather from a regard to try highest earthly comforts, than from a religious motive. But since it is only to the individual faith of each that the D.-ity has opened the way of eternal solvaticn, and as he requires that he who would be saved should have a perm nal belief of his own, I resolved not to repose on the faith or judgment of others in matters relating to God ; but, on the one hand, having taken the grounds of my faith from divine revelation alone, and on the other, having neglected nothing which depended on my own industry, I thought fit to scrutinize and ascertain for myself the several points of my religious belief, by the most careful perusal and meth. tinier of the Holy Scriptures themselves. If therefore I mention what has proved beneficial in try own practice, it is in the hope that others, who have a s.- miler wish of impreliing themselves, may be thereby in riled to pursue the same method. I entered upon an assi duous course of study in my youth, beginning with tie books of the Old and New Testament in their original hr.- guages, and going diligently through a few of the shorter systems of divines, in imitation of whom I was in the habit Of glassine- under certain heads whatever passage of Scrip ture occurred for extraction, to be made use of hereafter as occasion might require. At length I resorted with in creased confidence to some of the more copious thedesical treatises, and to the examination of the arguments advanced by the conflicting parties respecting certain disputed points of faith. But, to speak the truth with freedom as well at candour, I was concerned to discover in many instances adverse reasonings either evaded by wretched shifts, or at t2mpted to be refuted, rather speciously than with solidity, by an off( sted display of formal sophisms, or by a conata: t recourse ,to the quibbles of the grammarians ; while, what was most pertinaciously espoused as the true doctrine, seemed often defended with more vehemence than strength of argument, by misconstructions of Scripture, or by the hasty deduction of erroneous inferences. Owing to these causes, the truth was sometimes as strenuously opposed as if it had been an error or a heres)y—while errors and here sies were substituted for the truth, and valued rather from deference to custom and the spirit of party than from the authority of Scripture. According to my judgment, therefore, neither my creed nor my hope of salvation could be safely trusted to such guides; and yet it appeared highly requisite to posass some methodical tractate of Christian doctrine, or at loft to attempt such a disquisition as might be useful in este- Wishing my faith or assisting try memory. I deemed it therefore sat . , st and most ad v i sa bl e to com pil e -f or /Il ya*, by my own labou r and, study, some original treatise which should be always at band, derived solely from the word or God itself, and executed with all poisible fidelity, seeing that I could have no wish, to practise any imposition oa myself in such a matter. After a diligent perseverance in this plan for several years, I perceived that the strong-holds of the reforme.l religion were sufficiently fortified, 43 far as it was in danger from the Papists,—but neglect in many other quartets, neither competently strengthened with works of defence, nor adequately provided with champions. It was also evident to me, that, in religion as in other things, the offers of God were all directed, not to an indolent credulity, but to constant diligence, and to an unwearied search 'for truth ; and that more than I was aware of still remaibed. which required to be more rigidly examined by the rule of Scripture, and reformed after a more accurate model. I so far satisfied myself in Ate prosecution of this plan, as at length to trust that I had discovered, with regard to reli gion, what was matter of belief, and what only matter of opinion. It was also a great solace to me to have compiler' by God's assistance, a precious aid for tny faith,—or rather to have laid up for myself a treasure which would be a provision for my future life, and would remove from tio mind all grounds for hesitation, as often as it behoved me to render an account of the principles of my belief.

Yesterday being the day appointed for laying the first stone of the intended splendid mansion fur the Duke of York, in the precincts of the King's Palace, St. James's, commonly called the Stable-yard, the necessary arrange ments were made for the ceremony. A temporary plat form was erected, covered with green baize, to descend W the spot where the stone was laid, on the west side of the garden, nearly opposite to the entrance of the residence of the Princess Augusta. About half-past five o'clock in the af ternoon, the Duke of York and the Duke and Duchess of , Rutland entered the garden from St. James's Park. They were received by Mr. Philip and Mr. Benjamin Wyatt, the architects appointed to erect the building. After waiting la short time, the distinguished personages were conducted I to the epot as above described, the Duke York lead ing the Duchess of Rtitlacd. There were no spectators admitted into the grounds. On the arrival of the Duke of York at the spot where the stone was drawn up by a wind lass, all present and the workmen took off their hats. The stone being adjusted by a plumb-rule and a square, one of the architects presented the Duchess of Rutland with a silver-gilt trowel made for the occasion, with which the Duchess proceeded to spread mortar under the stone, pre vious to its being laid, with her lovely delicate hand, and afterwards, on the store being laid, the Nob!e Duchess struck it with a mallet prepared for the occasion. After these proceedin g s, a square white bottle was placed in an aper ture in the stone prepared for the purpose, in which was put a sovereign, a half-sovereign, a crown piece, a half crown piece, a shilling, a sixpence, a threepenny piece, a twopenny and a silver penny piece, also a copper penny, a halfpenny, and a farthing, all of his present Majesty's coinage. This bottle was afterwards cemented in with rosin. A plate was also let into the stone, with an ap propriate inscription, describing fer whom the edifice was erected, naming the Royal Duke's titles, rank, &c. as given from the ri aal trs College. As the Royal Duke was retir ing from the ground, the workmen cheered his Ru) al Highness with the most rapturous and gratifying bums. —The Royal Duke, precious to his leaving the ground, ordered every man engaged on the occasion a liberal dona tion. The erection of the mansion will proceed with all possible speed. We are happy in being able to state that the report of Mr. Canning 's medical attendants yesterday was still more favourable than on Sunday. The Right Honourable Gen tleman had passed the night well, and his progress towards recovery continued without interruption. The King will hold a Privy Council to-day at Windsor. The King's present intention is to remain at the Royal Cottage, in the Great Park, during the whole summer, fur the purpose of personally superintending the improvements in Windsor Castle, which we understand are to be upon a far more extensive scale than were originally projected. His Majesty will entertain a constant succession of select visiters by aquatic excursions on Virginia IVater. Sunday the Duke of Cambridge attended divine service at the Chapel Royal.

ATTEMPTID LAUNCH or TIIE LARGE TIMBER SHIP BARON 1 - 11:Nvarer.—From the Qtebee Gazette of the Qoth June ;—" We feel, common with all here, the great disaprointinent of expectation in the launch of the great ship Baron Renfrew, at the island of Orleans, on Saturday last. Various are the reports and conjectures as to the cause of the launch not being complete. We arc glad, however, to learn Atm was no want of foresight and judicious preparation. The ship started Landsomely, but owing to the immense weight and great length, all the grease was burnt up en the ways (and these wae on fire) before site reached tile water.
