The comae followed by the French Opposition journals, since the removal of the Censorship, has tended greatly to embarrass M. n E VILLEf.r. It cannot be pretended that the journalists only attack the Minister ostensibly, in order that they may really assail the K INC, for there is no bounds to their praises of his MAJESTY, though the administration of public affairs is unequivocally condemned. The Mi nistry, however, adhere to their policy of affiighting the timid by rcpresentationa of the revolutionary tendency of every parer they could not purchase. M. OE VI ILE LE is determined to make every effort to remain in power. He looks forward, we understand, with eagerness and confi dence, to the meeting of the Chambers. He is in cloy and constant intercourse with the Deputies in his interest, and he endeavours to persuade them, that, as they owe their seats solely to the influence he exerted in their favour at the last elections, and as his fall would inevi tably be followed by a dissolution of the Chamber, it is their business, for their own sakes, to support him. By thus adroitly exciting their alarms, he hopes to attach to his fortunes a great majority of the Deputies. Every time that the Opposition journals allude to the violent proceedings that took place during the last elec tions, the papers in the pay of M. DE Vii L ear exclaim that a dissolution of the Chamber is what the Opposition want, and that they haul better at once dictate to the KING what he should do. As the Jesuits are at war with the Op position, M. DE Vrt.t.ELE is making his approaches to them, with a stew to engage them as auxiliaries. Ile calculates that when the Chambers meet he will he at the bead of a coali tion which will give him a decided ascendancy over all his opponents, and that by continuing to alarm the KING, as :o the contv , queneca of a dissolution, he will succeed in tri umphing over all his enemies, and maintaining his place in spite of all the prophecies of his downfall. The chief cause that prevents, or at least retards, the disgrace of M. ox VILLEL E, IS not so much the skilfulness of his tactics as the financial difficulties in which the French Court is DIVOI.Ved. CIIAM.ES X. long ago promised to indemnify the emigrants, and lie is very anxious to keep his word to them, but the KING is aware that if, iu order to find the nears of this indemnity, he should have recourse to the imposition of additional taxes, his reign would be opened with a very unpalatable measure, and in all probability, the popularity he now enjoys would be speedily at an end. The principal question dismissed at Court, therefore, is— How can the emigrants be indemnified without an increase of the public burtheus? M. DE VILLELZ has had the al-- dress to acquire the reputation of an able financier, and the KING looks to him for the solution of this problem. The Minister preserves an important taciturnity, and waits for the meeting of the Chambers, when he reckons upon that firm support which will raise him above his present disqui- • a•tude. Meanwhile, though his talents as a Minister of Finance are really very humble, the opinion of his ability serves him as well as if he possessed the highest range of intellectual capacity. There is, however, another cir cumstance which renders the supposed financial An of Al. Vrtxst.r. highly useful to him at this juncture. Lon. le X~'lll. died considerably in debt. CHAaLES X. has ; stituted an inquiry to ascertain the amount of the clah against his deceased brother. The public rumours on this subject vary greatly. By some these debts are ►aid not to exceed V.B minions of francs, while others state them at the exorbitant sum of 48 millions. 'Whatever may be the cor rectness of these calculations, it is certain that the debts 'lll. are very considerable, and that it pay them. The KING, it is understood, is averse to ask the Chambers for the necessary funds. At the Tuileries it is said that the financial abilities of M. ne. VILLE LE will be put in requisition for the framing of a new prqjrt to reticce the rears, on a plan that will enable the Court at once to indemnify the emigrants and pay the debts of the late Kixtt. The Minister flatters these hopes, in which, however, there can be no doubt he does not parti cipate, but they arc useful to him. ell/ARLES X., who was lately opposed to the reduction of the 'wiles, regards that measure with a favourable eye, since he expects by means of it to accomplish two objects which he has so near his heart. M. De V ILL kLE has little apprehension as to the success of his plims, because he expects that the Chamber of Deputies will be so devoted to him, from a sense of community of interest, that a large majority of them will carry whatever prt ! jets be may lay before them ; and he hopes that the Chamber of Pters, at the beginning of a new reign, will not affront the Sovereign by rejecting a measure, for the success of which it is known he is per-' venally anxious. It must be confessed, that the policy of M. Di VILLE t.r, if it is not that of a mind of the first order, is at least that of a man who is not ignorant of men in general. We understand that it Is the intention of the King of FRANCE, at his coronation, to carry into execution an other measure of grace and conciliation. Previous to that solemnity, it is said, he will promote to the rank of Mar shals of France, and attach to his person, as Aides-de-Camp, some distinguished Generals belonging to the Opposition. The retaliatory proclamation of the Lord High Com mis.iuner of the lonian Islands, which we gave yesterday, has excited a violent controversy amongst our contempora ries. l're deeply regret that the English Government has felt itself compelled to assume a hostile attitude towards the Greeks; but before we join in the hasty and sweeping condemnation pronounced by some journals against the measures adopted in defence of the British mariners navi gating the Mediterranean, let us see what are the facts of the case. Some British vessels have been at different times, and are now, chartered for the Turkish service. The Pro visional Government of Greece considered these engage ments as violations of the neutrality professed by the English Government, and therefore issued a proclama tion, in which they declare expressly, that " these ves sels, as well u their crews, shall be considered as not belonging to neutral nations, but shall be treated as enemies', and as such they shall be attacked, burnt, or destroyed, with their crews, by the Greek fleet, or by any other armed force which may meet them." The Lord lligh Commissioner was instructed to re monstrate with the Greek Government, and require the revocation of this proclamation, as 6 ' contrary to the laws of nations and all the principles of humanity." The Greek Government refused to revoke their proclamation, and the Lord ❑igh Commissioner, thtrefore, issued a retaliatory proclamation for the capture of all armed Greek vessels, until the originally offensive proclamation shall be revoked. The question is, whether the English Government, in giving these orders to its navy for the protection of our mer cantile marine in the Archipelago, has done more than its duty imperatively required? An outcry is raised, as if, without provocation or necessity, the English Go vernment had taken part with the Turks to destroy the Greeks. The principle on which the English Government has acted, with respect to this contest,has been that of strict neutrality. No objection has been raised as to the fact, that the Greeks are not a power recognised by any authority in the world. All the benefits of an acknowledged political existence have been cheerfully granted to them, and the British agents have been instructed to treat them as an in depenth nt state. British subjects have been freely allowed to take part with the Greeks., and supply them with all t h e materials of warfare. On the other hand, it was not to be supposed that a similar liberty should not he granted, to such Englishmen as might choose to enter into contracts with the Turkish Government. These parties, whether for the Grilles or the Turks, have mixed in the contest at their own risk. Every one of them has clearly committed a breach of neutrality, and must suffer the conse quences in the forfeiture of his property. Either of the belligerents has an undoubted right to capture and con demn British vessels in the service of the other ; and the English Government would not have been justified to in terfere in defence of the property of such of its subjects as chose to depart from the limits of neutrality. But, the Greek Government has not denounced against these vio lators of neutrality the penalties to which. by the law of nations, they are liable: it has not threatened them simply with confiscation, but actually with personal destruction; and every Greek vessel, " or other armed force which may meet them," is authorisel " to attach, burn, or destroy them, with their crews." The custom with respect to neutrals, suspected of giving their aid to the bAligerents, is to detain them, and after a careful, and sometimes even tedious, investigation, in which the parties concerned are fully heard in their defence, to pronounce judgment of condemnation or acquittal. But the Greeks have issued a license to their cruisers to burn, sink, and destroy every British ship they meet, cargo and crew, without any in quiry or condemnation at all ! Ender these circumstances, it certainly appears to us that the English Government was bound to defend its subjects from the dangers by which they were menaced, from the unwarrantable proclamation of the Greeks. It is mutat st, that with such extensive powers confided to every cruiser that might hoist the fireek flag, no British vessel could have navigated the Mediterranean in safety. This proud and powerful kingdom, which has never brooked an insult from any nation on earth, could not look on tamely while its merchantmen were bunted and destroyed for alleged breaches of neutrality, merely because the per petrators of these sanguinary outrages were long-oppressed sufferers, to whose emancipation none have contributed more liberally or effectually than our own countrymen. We wish well to the Greeks ; but we contra therefore agree that they shall issue licenses to burn and destroy our cfnumer cial marine, on pretences which may be false; nor even can we consent, that if some Englishmen hare thought tit to charter their vessels for the Turkish Government, these violators of our neutrality should be put to :loath as 'pirates. As a neutral nation, we must pursue the same strict course toward■ both Greeks and Turks; and as we arc sure all England would rise simultaneously, and, with one voice of indignation, demand the signal chastisement of the Turks, if they were to threaten cur seamen with death fur carrying motley or arms to the Gre. ks, so arc we bound in justice to prevent the Greeks also from otn ring us a like indignity, I or inflicting upon us a like injury. ma The public securities were generally ou the rise during the whole of yesterday, and, as usual, var.aus reasons have been assigned for the fact. The general pmperity of the country, and the state cf the revenue, would, we should think, be sufficient to account for even a muLlt greater advance than has actually taken idace. There is one cause, bowerer, which, in our opinion, will tend to raise them owing by Louts XV is not known bow to i • THE BRITISH PRESS. still higher. The Royal Bank of Scotland has reduced its rate of interest to two and a half per cent.; and, by letters received in the City yesterday, it appears to be in the con templation of all the Baas in Scotland to make a similar reduction immediately. Such a step must have the effect of throwing all the money not employed as commercial ea pital in Scotland into the Three per Cents. ; so that in all probability we shall see them st par before Christmas. • • . We were precluded, by the lateness of the hour at which the account of it went to press, from offering yesterday any remarks on the " NORTHERN WHIG Dis:s:s a." A good dinner is always a good thing in itself, whatever becomes of the subject. Alen are by nature social animals, and when they collect together for the professed purpose of keeping alive those principles of public liberty which tend equally to the safety and glory of the throne and of the nation, they must be very captious and uncandid, who are disposed to pick a quarrel with them. The " Declara tion" of this Northern Whig Club is penned in very mea sured language; it is manifestly drawn up with an anxiety to avoid giving offence even to the 114 f-casts ;we mean that class of persons between Whig and Tory, who would fain be well with both parties, without decidedly commit ting themselves with either. It is very obvious, we think, both from the speeches and the manifesto, that the Whigs, as a body, are not well cemented ; their republic is not "one and indi Rut this may easily be forgiven them ; they have been long out of power ; they sigh for the green pastures, since, whatever other properties of geese they may have, they have not that of fattening on the stuLble ; and we find nothing unreasonable in their wish to change places. Whether the country would benefit by the change, is another question, and a question which, in as far as it depends upon experiment, there seems no chance of speedily deciding ; in the mean time, it costs nothing to take the fact for granted, and so long as " Champaign's rich grape bounds sparkling o'er the glass," there is no harm in giving " the Whig Club of Cheshire," or any other innocent and convivial toast that calls for a bumper. As to the "Declaration" itself, in which their principles and purposes are embodied and put upon record, we think it is somewhat too stubborn of its trust ; it dues not give out its meaning so distinctly as it might : fur example, it requires, 2. `• That inefficient and vita , dincte pincemen Le excluded from the !louse of Commons." These adjectives are so indefinite as to be worth nothing for any purpose of practical application. As well might you exclude all persons who were not " sufficiently in formed on things in general." The imputation is so vague, there is no deciding what brings a man within it. Besides, who is to judge of the efficiency of individuals before they are tried? Practice and habit do a great deal iu the way of training ; the rays of ministerial favour draw out and expand men's faculties, as a tropical sun swells oranges to shadocks; and to expel them before they arc qualified, would be to cut them off' in the midst of their growth. • Then again, as to the other cause of expulsion. When you hate a Prime Minister, or a First Lord of the Trea sury, what a clearing out you will make when you come to the exclusion of all "subordinate placemen." Surely, the Cheshire Whigs do unwisely in thus proclaiming their wish to destroy all subordination. There is too much of the leaven of radicalism in this measure of reform, and we shall certainly, therefore, contribute our mite of opposition to it. Looking at the measures of these Norihern Lights, and taking thin simply as they arc described, we should have been inclined to consider them as at least harmless, if not laudable. But their own view if them alarms us ; the ad mission may, perhaps, have escaped them unintentionally, but it will not, we should think, escape the reader. " The Club considers these measures to be in strict conformity with the recognized principles of the Constitution, and to involve No risk, EXCEPT of Muse abuses which every friend of his country =andel wish corrected, and which even their most zealous advocates are unable to deftntl." But if, as they here confessedly, and in so many words, admit, their measures invoice the risk of those abuzes, where is our ccurity from the danger of adopting them ? There must surely be some error here ; and we would advise the Cheshire Whigs, between this and their next meeting, to move once more for leave to amend their DLCLARATI ON. FRENCII PAPERS.

The rise of the funds to-day is founded on reasonings drawn from the fact of a project of reduction ; consequently there Is no probability of a fall, hut in the event of the fart being denied. There are various reports as to the origin of the plan. Some pretend that it k ministerial; others claim the honour of it in fa sour of independent bankers. It little matters, say a third party, with whom the plan originates; the essential is that there is to be a reduction in the Government Heroes, that there is to he no in crease of the capital to he liquidated by the operation of the sinking fund, and that the Ilentiers will be free to accept or no. If the project unites all these advantages, it is worthy of a French 31i nister; but all accessory honoree which companies might derive from it would show a foreign origin. All the calculators are on the alert. They are busied In deter mining what the per cents. would be worth, if the 3 per cents. rise only from 75 to 80; and if the 3 per cents. from 75, should rise to 85, which is but probable, with reedit such as we now en joy, the 5 per cents. would mount to the skies. The calculation is nearly the same in the supposition of 4 per tents at 93. They would do as well as the others.

SOUTH AMERIC.I. A Buenos Ayres Mail arrived yesterday, bring papers to the lit of August. They labour to sheer that it is per fectly impossible for Spain to retain any portions of terri tory in South America, and describe Mexico, Chili, and Colombia, to have contributed in every possible way to annihilate the Royalists now in Peru. We subjoin their contents, which, though detailing no events of import ance, are not without interest. They have no news from Peru later than Bolivar's Proclamation, on accepting the title of Dictator. From the Argus of Buenos Ayres.] CH IL t, Jrwr We can affirm, upon respectable authority, that the expedition of Senhor Freire, to Chimoo, which has returned to Co.meeptinn, has not lost more than three or four hundred men, in the whole cam. paign ; though, if it had remained on the coast four days longer, the whole army might have been lint, because none of the vessels could have been saved in the severe storms which followed. The expedition returned by the port of Talcahuano, and the transports suffered in some degree. The arrival of Scriber F.rire, in tits free territory of the Republic, seams to have wholly i.aved it from a convulsion in the capital, beaded by the liberal party, that party trusting that Senhor Freire would complete the Ministry with per. sons who merited .he public approbation by their principles and abilities. It was asserted that t'olonel Pinto should be minted to the office of Chief :Ilinister, vacant by the departure of Senhor Egana for Europe; and that, in conseqtience. a more prosperous state of things should be introduced into that State. The Arra of the 21st of July, referring to a preceding one not received, says— The accounts we 'inhibited in our preceding number, under she head " Peru," give occasion to an important observation, viz.— that it is, above all, necessary to justify the assertion so often made, that Spain cannot maintain any dominion in America. because either each State must free halt by its own effono, or that which does not do this, must, sooner or later, receive the impulse from all the rest. Peru seems rot to have been able to acquire, of Welt; an independent existence, nay, rather to have employed measures to hinder it; meantime. the Royalists, taking advantage of these circumstances, concentratirg their whole force, acting without any external dependence, and constantly maintaining their tritops. by allowing them to prey on the people, have made, and still make, an obstinate resistance, and with more effect than in any other part of America. It is such as even to have deceived Spain itself into a belief, that preserving a duce in Peru, sould suffice to recover its universal dominion ; hut it is to be observed, that all the States are now united against that force. Mexico sends not only troops to en great a distance, but ships of w a r. Colombia sends succour of all kinds, and charges itself with the principal part, in completing the emancipation. Chili arms its venni*, applying to this purpose a poet of its resources ; and, at the same time, the sending of a Minister to Peru is announced, to form a more direct co.operation in the work of nar.eluding the war of independence, and securing the liberty of all the States; and it is to be observed, that to act in this uniform and simultar.cous manner, there has been no need of pre-existing treaties, nor congresses, but merely an exercise of the sentiment prevailing in all the American States, of time necessity of wholly tleraching thenuelves from Spain. During the whole of yesterday forenoon the Exchange was ag itated with rumours respecting some dreadful reverse which bad taken place in South America. At first it was stated that Canterac had totally defeated Bolivar, who was said to be in full retri at befeirc him ; then that Bolivar had made Canterac come to a submission, by which lie and all his army were to embark immediately for Spain. It was then asserted that Iturbide had risen from the grave again to command the Royalist troops, and establish in South America the principles of the Holy Alliance; and this rumour was in a fair way of gaining credit, had it not been discovered that the resuscitation in question referred to what bad taken place at the Surrey Theatre, where he is to die nightly till further orders. Towards the close of the Exchange it was stated that an eminent stock-dealer had re ceived an express from Liverpool, containing some important intelligence, which had conic to that port by the New York Jet y 24. packet, which the thorium.; before was signalled in die There was an insurrection at Mendoza on the ?PM of June, the ctliiig, and which it was believed brought most dolorous l e an haring, with cries of " Liberty for ever!" demanded the intelligence from Chili or Peru.

Three times the Ottoman mioadmn, which was before manes, advanced towards the Greeks, and chased them; and three times the tireeks, by their gond tuanulteres, and with the aid of that fire-ships, obliged the Turks to retreat.

[From the .lugebiargh G•tertteof Oct. 6.1 CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 11. The silence which the Turkish Government preserves respecting the events alrewlv so well known to have occurred at salons, serves but to confirm the truth of what lh.s baen stated. A multitude of private letters agree in giving the following details on this subject : It was on the 17th .'eueust that the Capitan Paeha attempted to disembark a corps of Itt,lhti men at Samos. The Greeks allowed the Turkish fleet toaa p proach. and then attacked it with indescri bable courage. They waled in line Unarmed vessels, preceded by tire-ships. In a moment a Turkish frigate of 46 Pins, and many brigs and corvettes, were a prey to the flames and the most newer. dons exploitions.—All the crews perished. The Alusselmen, seized with terror, were eager to get away The alarm was also so great at the camp of Scala Nuova, which is situated on tin' shore, and but a gun-shot front the scene of action, that the herbaria's who composed it took to flight. They fled in all directions, and some did not rally till they were near Carina. As for the Capitan Paella, not considering himself safe at Caps Saint Maria, he proceeded to cut anchor at Boudmum. Hasing subsequently learned that the Greeks had detached eighteen Taub against the Egyptians he ventured again to approach Samos, but without daring to undertake any thing. The expedition tqSamos may be regarded as abandoned. • It stems tram this that the old camp of Asiatics at Scala Nueva has entirely been broken up. t It seems from this statement that after the disasters of Oar Turkish fleet in the Lirtle llogas tor straits between Samos and the Alain) it fled to the South and joined the Egyptian fleet, laulis following it as far as Patmos. The following is from the Drum'ls Oracle:—" The po pulation of Madrid has fluctuated in a most extraordinary manner within twenty years. Under Charles IV. it was estimated at 130,000 Spaniards, and 10,000 (wipers, who exercisotl there every kind of profession. During the short reign of Joseph Bonaparte, the number of the inhabitants diminished one-tenth ; but under the Cortes it augmented. As things go at present, if the plan ef expelling all the suspects be persisted in, that superb city will soon present the silence of the IODILS At this moment, according to the latest intelligence, it is said that Madrid has not more than 100,000 inhabitants; but as the exptils:on continues with an activity that continually iheeeases, it is impossible to say where the evil wiil stop. 11'hilst the capital of Spain is depopulated, in constqaence of private persecution and vengeance, the population el Brussels increases daily ; and within ten years the. augmentation has been consi derable. Such is the difference between a Constitutional Government and absolute power." By letters from Madrid, it am ears that on the lit inst. a party of Constitutional guellas entered the town of Tarracon. about twelve leagues from that city, and put to death the Alcalde, three others of the Civic Authorities, and eleven of the townspeople. This daring act was in revenge for the punishment of two of their comrades, who bad been put to death at Madrid for being concerned in a movement in favour of the Constitution. The perils' were enabled to effect their retreat from Tarracou without molestation. Letters from Gibraltar, dated S:pt. 24, state that the very tine Amerian ship Nancy, Captain Silby, took fire on Sunday afternoon, the 19th. and was totally burnt, as also the cargo, consisting of .5,500 barrels of flour. and a post many linen goods ; the cargo was valued a: 30.000 dollars, or 10,000/. sterling. She was to have gone on to Marseilles, and from that place to Chili. There was a very great stock of American flour in stores, from several arrivals lately ; business generally very dull. The first packet established by this Government to run to La Guayra and Carthagena is nearly ready for sea. She has been built calif., s=ly for the purpose, and in point of sailing, is sup post d to be the fastest aas.,el in the service ; she is named the Colombia, commanded by Captain Jones, carries eight guns, and is well supplied with small arms, with a picked crew. The emigration to the New H or!cl is so gnat, that she is complete in her complement of IlA twngers, and will leave the river on Monday, not intending to wait for a cargo. The internal fittings-up are of tbe most elegant description, and between decks the spare :s upwards of aix feet.
