The falowing are extracts :- IFrom the EtuUe of the 3d September. SALONICA, JUICE 11. On the lot of this month Omer Pacha left the town at the head of part of his troops, and of a hundred Janissarie3, for the purpose of repulsing a considerable corps of Greeks, who, some days before, tad landed at the bottom of the Gulf of Cassandra, and penetrated to the village Poleros, which they pillaged. Three days after flies aergers arrived in baste requiring assistance; it then became known that the Greek flotilla eonsiste9 of 36 vessels, of which 12 were brge vacs, armed with Z,KO men. of whom 2,000 bad landed ; that tl•ey bad vigorously resisted the Pecha, and killed CO of his men, among whom were several officers of his household; 300 men were immediately raised in Selectee ; and Achmrt and Yuma Bey pro -0.-edesi to raise recruits in the villages. '2 he reinforcements ar riving in time, obliged the Greeks to re-embark. Their loss arsounted to ten men killed, altase heads were immediately sent as err; hies to Constantinople. It is expected that, after a usele%.land ins at Sitio, this flotilla will attempt another landing at Monte- Santo. The captain of the vessel that brings the news says that be saw the flotilla anchored in the Gulf of lialonica. The city was IR gre-t consternation. .11.* NE 29. The Greek corps which some days since landed, and penetrattd as tar as Poinns, has attempted another landing at Sikia ; but the sudden anival of the Pacha prevented it. The Greeks are gone, • and we have not heard any thing about them since. The affair of Poi:ens hes cost the Peals dear. More thso thirty chosen men, who were all old servants of the celebrated All-Tebelen, ■nd held a high rank is Albania, have been killed. They fell by his side in defending his person, which at times was much expesed." :\chtnet-Bey is returned to Salonics. He makes a melancholy pic ture of the treatment received by the peasants from the petty agents nt . the Paella, who, he sap, all want to he treated like Viziers, and spread devastation wherever they appear. It is said that scri ms remonstrances have been made against this conduct by the l'acha of Sates, who is the landed proprietor of the villages so ill treated 4 and that his complaints not being attended to, he has ad. stressed himself to Constantinople. it is said that a messenger, lately arrived from the last-mentioned capital, has brought to Omer Pacha a finesses an d a b a ne t -scheriffornich ordain the estatliahinent en the Nixam-redid at Salonica. Srlim Pacha, of Bosnia, a native of this place, is daily expected here, and will encamp outside of the town, for the purpose of assisting Omer-Vrione. The Janis. series are thrown into consternation, and others are rejoiced. There are many secret meetings, and the publication of the Semen may occasion disturbances. But the well-known firmness of our Paella, and the dread which he bat inspired In the Janissaries, is likely to. avert mischief. Note of the Etuite.—lAter intelligence from Salonica announces Itte perfect subm6sian of the Janissaries of that city. We find the following in the Gaz..tte de Atigsboarg:— " Letters from Constantinople announce that dlr. Stratford Can ning (probably in consequence of the representations previously made to him by the Porte) has sent to the Divan a note, in which he declares that Lord Cochrane is an adventurer escaped from England; and he adds, in casette should fall into the hands of the Turks, he would not be claimed by the English Government, since ne is oolongs', considered a subject of his Britannic 31ajesty." I,From the Gazette of Genoa.] Verge Armiro, 2tith June (tit!: July), 1821 i. 'lO his Excellency the President,—l have just this moment learned by an express sent by my uncle, Maitromicale, of Cap° Grasso, that the number of the enemy left on the field of battle at Zimova was more than a thousand. The express was brought by ore of the combatants, who informs us that out of ',MK) Arabs, who had disembarked, scarce 200 saved themselves by jumping inio the sea, and taking refuge in three of their barks. Whilst they were precipitating themselves into the water, our 1 ,,,.. 1 ,1e pursued them in order to kill them, or take them alive. e tire from the enemy's ships did not abate their courage in put .., :r.g the Arabs.

By the report in another part of the British Press of this day it will be seen that the transactions about the Greek Loans are not likely to continue much longer so mysterious a, they have hitherto been. The account read on the occasion of the Meeting agrees in many respects with that which was published in the British Press of July 11, and was copied from us by most of the other papers. There arc se%er.:l points, however, in which, either from the mis takes of printers or transcribers, some very considerable differences are to be found in the two statements; and we , are still afraid ] from the manner in which we received the' present account, that some mistake has crept into it. IVe lie g!al to find that confidence is likely to be restored to s'ccies of stock. To mere stockjobbers we never would recommend Greek Bonds as a speculation; but, for ti:cse who can spare a little, there is no mode of investing their money which is likely Io be more beneficial to man kind. It is the philanthropist, not the stockjobber, who ought to deal in Greek Bonds. Hy an article in the Br it "'rest of yesterday it will be seen that the shipping interest is some quarters is not et convinced of the soundness of the principles which guided his Ms., EsTv's Ministers in procuring the repeal of the Navigation Laws. We coped the article in pursu ance of our maxim of looking steadily at both sides of every subject ; but we do not in any respect agree with the persms who have signed the document in nuestion. A writer in llidc4 wood's Ma z,nrthie has made a variety of remarks on the same subject, carrying an appearance of plausibility which might impose upon many of the cursory readers of magazines. They are in the true tone of those ultra prin ciples, which, we arc happy to find, have almost disap peared from the London press—particularly from that portion of it to which we ourselves belong. Notwith standing the strong inclination which some journals occa sionally seem to have to oppose Ministers in this case —whether it he from old habits, or from a fear of los ing their credit aethe reputed organs of Government, we do not find any daily paper in London willing to declare itself the advocate of the exploded doctrines of last cen tury. This task is reserved for a magazine of the northern metropolis ; and thus the very quarter from which political economy first issued in a scientific shape is destined, it seems, to be that where its conclusions are to be most obstinately resisted. There is one point upon which we arc willing fairly and fully to meet the writer in question, —the probability of a diminution of the consumption of various articles in consequence of the repeal of the Navi gation Laws. The writer assumes that the business of ship building will be permanently injured—that the money re ceived for freights will be diminished—that the constunption of agricultural and other produce will be less in con sequence of the employment of foreign shipping. The building of ships is precisely in the same situation as agriculture in this country. Great advances have been made in every thing that relates to the perfection of the form and structure, but very little has been done till lately in facilitating the details of labour. This is the invariable consequence of restrictive laws. They leave the manu facturer at his ease, without fear of competition, and con- sequently prevent all efforts to improve his ordinary pro cesses. The reasoner in Bhwkwood's Magazine goes on the assumption that the Corn Laws will continue as at present; for lie asserts that foreigners could navigate their ships cheaper than we can. It is thus that one restrictive law is connected with another. The late measure of his Majesty's Ministers, followed up as it will no doubt be in the new Parliament by farther improvemoiits, will render all those reasonings fut;le which proceed on an assumption of this sort. The writer seems also to be ignorant of a well-known fact, which by the way is an argument of great weight in favour of an alteration in the ('urn Laws; and he has un wittingly set that argument in a very remarkable light in his different remarks on the injury likely to arise to the agricultural interest from the employment of foreign ship ping. The fact to which we refer is, that British vessels, inconsequence of the dearness of corn in this country, do at present, at least partially, victual at foreign or colonial pops. The petition from Greenock, which we published on the day that his Majesty's Ministers assembled to deli berate on the measures connected with the meeting of Parliament, states that the repeal of the Corn Laws would materially benefit that port, from the encouragement which► it would give to the biscuit trade. It is obvious, therefore, that the continuation of restrictive laws has actually pro duced in their case the very effect which the writer expects 'to arise from the repeal of the Navigation Laws. The distress which has in sonic degree touched the shipping interest has been owing to nothing hilt the necessity of repealing these laws before repealing some other restrictive enactments; and we will venture to assert that the absence of the prohibitions laid on the import trade, both of corn and other articles, will more than counterbalance the effects of foreign competition. In fact, the non-restrictive system is essentially favourable to commerce, because it proceeds upon the assumption that one country, and one part of a country, is more adapted than another for a particular spe cies of produce; and the shipowner, instead of calling for a return to the old system, should insist on the repeal of every enactment which tends to favour the raising in this country of any species of produce which can be better raised in another. In some cases foreign vessels may, in the new state of things, find employment where none but British were formerly engaged ; but so many new sources of trade must eventually be opened, by the measures of which the repeal of the Navigation Laws form a part, that the shipping interest will have no reason to complain of their partial losses. The writer in Blackwood's Magazine has entered into some calculations to prove that the com parative cheapness of foreign freights is no real gain to the country, because the labour of a number of Englishmen, equal to that of the foreigners employed, must thus be left without a market. There is one simple answer to all ob jections of this sort :—All the methods of employing labour, either by laud or sea, are capable of extension and improve ment, and that extension and improvement will never take place if Ministers encourage inactivity by protecting en actments. CITY, IlioxDAY EVENING. There has been a slight re-action in Consols during the' day ; but, at the close of the market, they hail recovered, and showed a quotation of 79. No particular cause was assigned for the depreciation beyond the fact of some large sales at 783 , which sent them down to 781, from which, however, they gradually recovered to their closing price. It seems generally agreed that the opening of the ports ought not to affect the Stocks, inasmuch as a cer tain portion of produce, either of home manufacture or co lonial growth, must go in payment, or in part payment, of the articles imported under the Order in Council in ques tion. There has been rather more doing than usual in 3 and 3 per Cent. Reduced, in consequence of their closing to-morrow, preparatory to the dividend ; the former are at 79a, and the latter at 86i. Exchequer Bills find a ready market at 18 19, and India Bonds are equally in request at 27 29. In the Foreign Market Mexican Bonds have again shown a disposition either to rise or fall 2 per cent. at the command of the strongest operators in the market, as they have been down to 50 during the day; and, at the close, they showed a decline of f since Saturday, their price being 511. The cause for this decline is asserted to be the receipt of a letter at Lloyd's this morning from Barbadoes, stating that the Ilussar frigate had left that island, on her way to Jamaica, for England, and that therefore it was not likely that she would be the bearer of the dollars for the payment of the dividends. This reasoning does not appear conclusive, because, in point of fact, the statement of the Hussar being ordered from Barbadoes to Jamaica agrees with the accounts previously received ; and there does not appear any impossibility in her going down to Vera Cruz for the specie in question, proviLd it be there, and that application has been made to the Admiral. as stated, inas• much as there is little doubt but that a frigate would be employed, and that she would make her passage as direct as pOssible to this country, after having the specie on board. In point of fact, from the peculiar state cf the market, as regards Foreign Stocks and Shares, these are the only Securities which display any field for speculation; and, under all the circumstances, the question of the arrival of the dividends is merely mooted to aid nominal parties; indeed it is matter of considerable question whether, if they were now in an English port, they ought properly to bring the Bonds heyond their present price. There is nothing doing in Colombian, which remain at 33k. Greek have shown a disposition to decline, having been done at Wi to 13. Information is anxiously expected from the seat of war as to the movements of Lord Coen KANE, but nothing transpired on the subject from the Malta Mail received this morning. One thing is quite certain, that if his Lordship cannot undertake operations until the arrival of the whole force contemplated as forthcoming from this country and America, it is to be apprehended that the cause will suffer materially by delay. Brazilian are the only quotation in Shares, and which are at 9 premium. In the Corn Market the supply of Oats and Pease from the home counties this mottling have been upon a large scale; but they found few purchasers, those being of ne cessity, and not of choice. The opening of the ports has had the effect of producing this supply at a reduction of :is. per quarter in Oats, and 3s. in Pease; but at this scale of reduction there is no disposition to do any stroke of business, as the large operators wish, of course, to see what will he the effect of the first sales of grain imported under the Order in Council. Ships have been arriving in the river for the last fortnight from the Northern Ports, and therefore the operation will soon display itself. At this moment the panic occasioned by the sudden operation of the measure in question is stated as the cause of a complete stagnation in the market; this, however, is an evil which will soon be set right, and the measure cannot but prove as salutary as it is wise. %%lint also shows a quotation of 2s. per quarter lower than last market, and Beans in about the same ratio. Calcutta Government Gazettes to the 3a March have reached us. By the latest advices from Bhurtpore, it appears that the army had not actually separated, but it was expected to break up shortly. A part would, proba bly, remain embodied with Sir Charles Metcalfe until the arrangements with the Alwar Raja were finally settled. The Commander-in-Chief, Lord Combermere, was ex pected to set a for Calcutta on the '2oth January. On the 17th his Lordship held a cavalry review. The flotation Cou7nnt of the sth April, now received, infortns us that the Sultan of Samanap was expected at Samarang, with 400 of their troops; the troubles in Java were not wholly appeased; that Captain Koelman and Major Hunter had gained some advantages over the insur gents ; and that Major-General Geen had surrounded the rebels under Mcauko Negro, so that they must submit, or endeavour to effect their retreat. Pia GU E.—The Court Gazette of Vienna announces that in consequence of the symptoms of plague which have manifested themselves at Bucharest, the quarantine on the frontiers of 11 - allachia has been extended from ten to twenty days. YELLOW Fevers.—The Prefect of the Department of the Gironde has informed the merchants in that district that the yellow fever was raging at Martinico and Guada loupe. Instructions have been given to the Sanitary Ad ministrations that a rigorous application should be made of the regulations to the arrivals from those Colonies. Ac COUNTS FROM IRELAND, VIA FRANCE.—We have still to deplore the excesses of intolerance. An English Journal (the rrutli-l - elkr) now denounces to Europe atro cities committed in a prison of Dublin, called " Richmond Penitentiary." We have already stated that the Marquis of Wellesley had ordered an inquiry to ascertain the truth of the facts. Violence has been exercised on some of the prisoners, to force them to abjure their faith. It is now known, says the English Journal (and the Report of the Commissioners charged rekb lb. imitalry will soon be made public), that the Governor of the prison employed instrui ments of torture to force the Catholic prisoners to become Protestants. The instruments base teen found, and a blacksmith has been interrogated, who had made some of a particular sort to be attached to their heads. This man declares, that being employed to fabricate these instru ments, and to fix them on the heads of the unconvertible prisoners, he thought he was com plying _ with the will of the G ove rnmentand not that of the Protestant inquisition. The official report of the inquiry, continues the Truth-Tello, will be printed in a short time. An ecclesiastical agent of the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, assisted by an advocate and a short-hand writer, is present at each sitting of the Commissioners. The correspondent of the Truth-Triter writes, " I have seen the instruments of torture, and I con fess that I did not think the heart of man could have been so destitute of hutnanity as to invent such things."— Emile. Several of the French journals have teemed lately with accounts, which they have copied from each other, of a horrible murder, said to have been committed in the neigh bourhood of Great Mont Rouge. This pretended crime turns out to be a tissue of invention. The real facts are as follow :—A perlion of the name of Biaise Delphy, a mealman, residing in the passage of the Charterux, in the quarter of St. Eustache, set out last Sunday for Mont Rouge, where he said he was going for the purpose of re ceiving a sum of money. Th 2 next day his wife received a bundle, which, op opening, she found was a meal-sack, containing the bloody garments of her husband, and a let ter conceived in the following terms : i I , Mont Rouge, Aug. 20, 1026. " This is to infonn you that the bird has been plucked and oaten. The bones have been thrown into the quarry belonging to M. Llancourt, below Chatillon. We send you the feather,. ' The unfortunate Woman flew, all in tears, to the Commis sary of Police, to acquaint him with the melancholy news. M. the Procureur!tht lioi, having received a proces verbal of her declaration,xent one of his duputies immediately to the place,agreeabl to the 32d article of the Criminal Code. M. Tarbe, charge( with this cummission,went to Chatillon, and descended int the quarry mentioned. He discovered there two dead b ics, but they both had their clothes on, and were recogniad to be those of two workmen, recently killed by a fall. !After this search, M. Tarbe went to take an examination nti Mont Rouge. There he exhibited the clothes of Delp!' for the purpose of having them identi fied, before som its who had been seen drinking with him. But, on Whig them more !Islay, it. ant re marked that the stains with which they were covered were not those of human blood. The suspicions which arose were soon changed into certainty. It was clearly ascertained that the clothes had been steeped in the blood of a sheep, furnished by a country butcher. Delphy was arrested on the 23.1, in a public-house, kept by M. Parisse. He had been on the point of being declared a bankrupt, and this was only a stratagem, invented by himself, for the purpose of throwing his creditors on a false scent. Caere.—Ontssa, sin LI IG.—The wheat now accumu lated here amounts to above 800,000 chetwerts, and will be considerably increased by the daily arrivals, as well as by the crop of bard wheat (arnaoutka) cultivated near the town. The quantity of wheat which has overstocked our market must for some time have an unfavourable effect on the pYiecs. Soft wheat was last sold from .5 to 10A, and hard from 9to 13. This will, however, attract buyers, who will be more ready to speculate on those low plices, as, according to all appearances, the harvest, will not be abundant in the South of Europe. In the course of the week, 4,090 chetwerts of soft wheat have been sold front 5 i to 11. No demand for hard wheat. One thousand ponds of Campeachy wood have been sold at 31 rubles per pootl. CAITIINESS, AUG. 25.—The harvest work in this county ii advancing rapidly; the crops are about half cut down, and in some places stacked. So early a season as the present has not been known by any of the present ge- Iteraticln In this county, and the crops both of corn and tur : well.

The Moravia. of Saturday contains an extract of a letter ad dressed to his Excellency the Minister of Marine, by the Contre- Amiral Chevalier de Rigny, commanding the French forces on the Levant station. In this letter M. de Rigny states, that " A I ydriot vessel, accompanied by two other Greek vessels, had brought to Tino a commission of four persons to require the new contribution of 42,000 piastres and other sums belonging to private persons who had fled, amounting to 70,000 piastres. The inland was oLliged to pay only 19 000, having expended 23,000 for Fabvier's troops, by order of the Government. The Commission, however, required the whole sum, and, on a refusal, fired on the city. Al ready seven persons were killed and a child wounded ; the Catholic Church and other buildings were injured by the balls, when the Serene appeared. The Vice-Consul went to request M. de Rigny to Interpose. He did so, and accommodated the business, and saved the city from total ruin ; for the villains waited only for the general terror and disorder to pillage and burn it. Monsieur de Rigny, astonished at seeing the Greeks act thus, ordered them to suspend their firing. The Primates agreed to pay the con tribution, deducting the amount of what they had furnished to Fabvier. ' I succeeded in conciliating all parties; but these acts will be re newed elsewhere, because the armed Greeks, seeing clearly that these defenceless islands are every instant in danger of capitulating with the Turks, wish beforehand to carry off all tbe resources of the inhabitants, to apply them to the defence of Hydra and Napoli. On these occasions the Latins arc always most trampled upon, and scenes which I had succeeded in preventing are renewed with still more violence towards these scanty populations." M. de Rigny adds, " On this subject, 31onseigneur, I am requested by the three Captains of the King's ships which I have the honour to command here, to protest against the impropriety of the terms, at least, which the Editor of a certain Journal has made use of." After publishing an Act of the late Greek Government, relative to the levying of an Impost on the islands, and some measures announced for the sup pression of piracy, the Editor adds, " Contrary to what ought to be, the captains of French vessels in the pay of the Pacha of Egypt complain, &c. &c." AL de Rigny warmly repels this accusation on the captains under his command, and continues, "If the Editor, by making use of the expression, ' Captain of a vessel,' alluded to masters of merchant vessels who trade in the Levant, I must again declare here, that no French vessel ever took charge of warlike stores or ammunitions, or has transported any thing to the ,(area far Turkish account. I declare, with proofs in my halide, that the only vessels that went to the Peninsula are the four sent by the Philhellenic Committee, with objects that were de atiaed to aid the Greeks ; and that it is, in facy under the most idle and the most absurd pretexts that the Greek privateers pursue and pillage our peaceable navigator!, wherever they meet them in a defenceless state. This is the exact truth, and these the facts. Just recriminations might be allowed us ; but we ought, perhaps, to alatain from demonsitating, in an emphatic manner, the wrongs and faults of an unhappy nation. " I will however relate a circumstance which has just taken place. A schooner under Greek colours is at present cruising ; she is com manded by a Frenchman, 31. de Croze, ex-aspirant of the navy, and is armed partly with Greeks and partly with Frenchmen, lately wine from Marseilles to enter the Greek service. Tiiis vessel has already stopped several vessels undcr Austrian and Russian colours, and the King's brig, the Loiret, has lately rescued one of her prizes, on board of which a Frenchman had been left to navigate her. The law of 10th April, l 0 5, on piracy, has established a great diffe rence between private individuals among Frenchmen, who went and lost themselves among the contests of foreigners, and those who, without the authority of the King, would go and command. or serve in, armed vessels, whose acts, so far as they concerned neutral Hags, or these or France's allies, might compromise fie national rood faith. The same law has pronounced very severe penalties against the authors or accomplices of similar miadetds. The schooner of 31. de Crow is comprehended in its meaning; and I looked upon it as an opportune circumstance, that it should have been one of the King's vessels which rescued a Russian vessel, bound from Constantinople to 3lityline. from he hands of a priva teer known to be manned end commanded by Frenchmen. I have published throughout the islands the article of the law of the 10th April, which tray conccm those inilividools, who, I hope, will leave off the trade that they have commenced, when they learn the con sequences and I have Communicated tth.t was neceasrty on tha subject to Colonel Fabvier, thief of the Greek regul a troops, in case the armament of the schoonersisradd deavadir L " :Attlee the capture of four English ve s sels month. the piracies have diminished ; and this is to attributed :' the additional force sent to the different stations, to the convoy system, and, above all, to the necessity to which the Greeks base been reduced of callirg all their vessels to the defence of Hyatt. But the course of things will again bring on the same sets, this maritime population having no resource but a seafaring life, and having unfortunately acquired too great a taste for the chances of a cruising, which have been the more profitable to them of date, e titot their apologists have not failed to bestow upprobation to %hall lav excesses."

Theodore Perrin, of Grenoble, the counsel for Monsieur taganle, urged•in his client's favour the numerous Wino* which had ap- peared of the Epistle to Voltaire, and the fact of no notice having been taken by the Minister Public, either of the Epistle or of the "Coteries," which bad bass published as far back as 1625. He went on to adduce ibe instances of Boileau, Lafontaine, and Moliere, all of whom had launched, against bolt priests anti prelates, epigrams, sometime.% justified by the conduct of some of their botk ; but no one had ever considered them as guilty of an outrage atsainst religion or its ministers, in ite of ail the fanatical zeal of 1, 1 .
