Last night the Paris Papers of Monday arrived. Ac cording to the Floile, all doubt must be at an end with 1- Tect to the evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia. !!e Porte has formally announced it, and a day bad Len fixed for the reception of M. de Mixztacay, I iarge &Alf:Aires for Russia. The Journal des Delves states, that it is expected t: e Government of the Netherlands will immediately fa!low the ersmple set by the British Cabinet with regard is the new States of America. The wretched Government or Spain, it is said, intends to rasc 40,000 men, for the re conquest of its colonies. ND may issue his Decrees, but from whence will lie draw the funds for the equipment of his new anny ? His dishonesty Las fortunately rendered him powerless as to the mis chief he contemplates. Before he can settle the dis -1., rite between Last. KNA and OLANETA, whose envoys ure now pleading before the Council of State, the last Spanish soldier will, in all probability, become the captive i or those freemen whom he will in vain have endeavoured to make the vassals of his master. From Greece, we learn that the siege of Patras was soon to be commenced, under circumstances which promised ~' success. Coron and Modon were expected shortly to capi tulate for want of food. The Greek Government seems to possess fully the confidence of the people. The elections had closed, with few changes in the Members of the Ex ecutive and Legislative Bodies. The principal was the elevation of Nol Alias to the Presidency of the Senate. i This eminent patriot belongs to one of the most opulent and distinguished fotnilies in the Peloponnesus, and during the revolution he has made the greatest sacrifices for the independence of his country.

We regret to say, that the late accounts from Greece state that very serious dissensions had again broke out among the Greek Chiefs. Two of tot °co-riot:l's ions had been killed, and their father had in consequenceopenly declared against the Executive Government. In this state of the struggle, much more is to be feared front the jea lousies of rival facticns, than from the attacks of the foreign enemy ; and it is distressing to observe this interesting cause retarded in its progress by the ambitious disputes of its well-intentioned but most dangerous friends. We are not apprehensive that the independence of Greece is ex posed to much peril by these intestine quarrels, highly mischievous as they undoubtedly are; but there can be no question that the Turks are encoutaged to proloug the ruinous and sanguinary contest ; and the l'uwers of Europe, reluctant, we fear, under any circumstances, to countenance successful insurrection, even though against barbarians and infidels, readily avail themselves of these dissensions to defer their interference with the 06-toman Government fur the termination of the war. As to the present schism, we feel no immediate al.:ern. Twelve months ago, COLOCOTRONI would perhaps have been a rebel nut to be despised ; he was one of the boldest and ablest of the Greek Chieftains, and had a large body of attached and admiring followers: but, since the organisation of the re gular army under the general Government, his influence must have decayed considerably; and at this moment we should not augur so ill of the patriotism or prudence of the Greeks, as to suppose they would espouse the quarrel of a discontnited leader, to the imminent hazard of the public cave. We shall regret the fate of CoLocovaosi, be 'Atm, whatever may he his faults, he was one of the earliest and bravest assertcrs of the freedom and inde pendence of his country. It is evident that the recognition of the new American States, though his Maisel- v's Government bad so clearly, from time to time, made known their intentions on the subject, has excited a deep sensation on the Continent. All parties regard it as a declaration against the principles of the Holy Alliance, and they seem to be quite aware that it is an act which this country is resolved, if necessary, to maintain at every cost. There can be no doubt that the Allies have no just ground of complaint against us, how ever their prejudices may be hurt by our acknowledgment of a fact, which it rested neither with us nor them to pre vent. Our coarse has been candid and open throughout the negociations respecting Spain and her colonies; we have gradually admitted the Americans to our ports, on the footing of an independent people ; we have ob served the strictest neutrality between the belligerents, but as time and eircutnstances have advanced the colonies struggling for independence, to the character they had as sumed, we have, on principles that admitted no colour of ambiguity in their declaration, takes preparatory measures, with the express view of recognising the political existence of such of these States as, deflicto, had established their separation from the mother country. The Allies have never pretended that they hail a right to object to any part of the conduct we have adopted in defence of our commercial in terests. It would be strange, therefore, if they were now to complain, because we have taken the last step of a series which they nowise opposed one entering upon. If there have been any error in the policy of the British Govern ment as to this question, it has, we think, consisted in the refined delicacy and misunderstood generosity which in duced them to solicit and urge Spain to precede them in the act of recognition ; but if Spain would listen to no reason, and chose to sacrifice to absurd hopes the real advantages she might have insured by renouncing a title which was as empty as her antiquated pretensions to the sovereignty of Jerusalem, were we bound, in honour or justice, to wait till she thought fit to give us liberty to protect our commerce? Yet we are told by the French papers, that the recent de termination of our Cabinet will derange the relations that subsist between this country and the Continent. The Quo tedienne affirms, " that the representatives of the Holy Alliance (at Paris) assembled on Sunday, and that a Note from them bad been transmitted to the English Government." On the other hand, we arc infonned that our Ministry, in anticipation of the consequences which are said to be likely to result from the recog nition under considelation, have applied to Portugal, and required to know what they have to expect from that Power in case of a rupture with the Holy Alliance. We place not much reliance on the latter statement. No such demand may bare been made upon Portugal. The mode, however, in which it is affirmed, shows that strong feelings arc known to exist, and thet it is believed they will have vent in some shape, perhaps that of angry remonstrance: war is wholly out of the question. If the malice of the Al lies would lead them to mischief, how are they to inflict it upon us? We are happily ,beyond their reach, and the only effect of proscribing us from intercourse with their States, would be to throw mo►e completely into our hands the trade of all the rest of the world. Iu following out our remarks on the utter absence of all discretion which distinguishes the present rage for mining speculations, we feel induced to bring under the consi deration of those who are thus inconsiderately embarking their property, certain points upon which they would do well to inform themselves, before they engage further in these delusive schemes, in which too many, we fear, will involve themselves in haste, and repent at leisure. In the first place, have they sufficiently, or at ail, con sidered the many ways in which they may be defrauded, before the dividends on the shams will ever reach the sub scribers—the agents, through whose interventian these di idends must come, being beyond the reach of all ef fective control ? It is well known that great frauds were practised on the King of Sears, by the workmen and su perintendents of the royal mines in Southern America ; and we doubt if the subscribers to the present projects arc even half so competent to protect themselves against im position. By whom, and under whom, are these mining schemes to be carried an ? Are they to be trusted to the natives? We take it fur granted they are. Now the ignorance of the Spaniards in the art of mining is excessive ; those best acquainted with them,. and who derive their information upon the spot, represent their mode of conducting the ope rations of sifting, washing, quickening, and roasting the ore, as most ►luvenlv,' wasteful, and unscientific. Their process of amalgamation is so defective, that they are scarcely able to extract two-thirds of the silver contained in the ore, and for every mark of silver which they obtain, they lose one, end frequently two, marks of quicksilver. How, under the present schnnes, are thtsc sources of loss 1' THE BRITISH PRESS. to be provided against, or in what manlier are they to be compensated ? /lave the shareholders taken due pains to ascertain what is the average annual produce of the Spanish silver mines at present in operation, and whether the supply is equal to the demand? This is a point of great importance to be previously ascertained ; because if the supply is already equal to the demand, or if, supposing the demand to in crease, there are already adequate resources to meet it, in this case mines must be a most disheartening specula tion, for where can the profit come from? That the supply both of gold and silver does fully equal the de mand, there is every reason to believe ; and there is equal reason to believe, that their quantity could be raised to meet any increased demand. The mines of Spanish Ame rica, taken collectively, produce somewhere about eight millions sterling. Now there is no market so easily glut ted as the market of gold and silver. The stability of com mercial credit, in the present peaceable and prosperous state of Europe,—more especially of Great Britain,—has an in evitable tendency to lessen the demand for silver as a dr , (Voting medium ; the increase of private wealth may make it somewhat more in request with silversmiths for fabricat ing into various utensils, hut less will be called for at the Mint ; this alone would make any speculation for increas ing its quantity ill-timed, and consequently full of hazard to those who engage in it. It is clear that smelting-houses, guard-housee, an; other indispensable and expensive works, must be erected ; that there must be an adequate system of superintendence ; directors of the smelting-houses lutist be appointed—skil ful assayers, and managers of various other concerns, with honest and faithful overseers, over the whole body of miners;—all this is essential. The Spanish overseers,—and we tuppose it is to them the management is to be entrusted, —are for the most part equally ignorant and dishonest. What security do the present schemes give for their fidelity? Have the shareholders calculated what is likely to be their net surplus of profit, after deducting, under all these circumstances, the expense of labour and the cost of management. We suspect they have not. Have they turned their attention to the improved state of mechanical science, as connected with this subject? Have they at all reflected on what is likely to be the effect of the application of the steam-engine in drawing off the water, and thus reducing the price of silver, in consequence of the mines being worked with so much more facility, and the expense of obtaining the ore being so greatly dimi nished? Have these adventurers: who are stripping them selves so carelessly to bathe in the silver stream, properly weighed the value of this metaphor, so familiar to our poetry, against its value as an article of commerce? Ilas the GaaNTk. e, or Lessee, whichever he may be, of these respective mines, produced any duly authenticated instrument of conveyance,—whether a royal grant or any other,—to himself, under which the share/odder/can derive a legal, valid, and indefeasible tifle, in the event hereafter of any di.puted claim? Have they at all paused while they made such inquiries as might satisfy them on this bead ? If they have not, we may indeed say, great is their fordo ; but we cannot say as much fur their prudence. The delusion seems, however, to be every day coming nearer to its close. New mining projects are, we know, in contemplation ; but sober reflection, we hope, will in the interval develop the frauds which lurk in these undefined projects, set on foot, as they have been, by insolven t speculators, who, having made an ample fortune out of the folly of those who first took the bait, laugh in their sleeve at the result of the schemes which they held forth so successfully to others, but from the consequences of which they have theniselves taken good care to retire. The following are among the number of those projects adverted to in our Paper of yesterday, which drew so many millions from the unwary a century ago, and all of which ended in moonshine, but not till they had in‘olved thou sands in utter and irretrievable ruin.
