The war with the French Ministry is waged more se t;vely and vigorously than ever in the Paris papers of Tuesday. From each side, Royalist and Liberal, the attacks are made with great fierceness and apparent confidence of success. The Journal des Debuts has an able article on the state of Spain, which it truly ascribes to the narrow and doubtful policy of the French Cabinet towards that wretched country. "We can neither aband.nt it," says t 1:: journalist, "to the dangers of a fresh civil war, nor continue to occupy it at our own expense, such are the t. nanimoue distrust of the Spaniards as to all foreign inter ference, the want of moderation among the clergy, the e•!ly body possessed of influence, and the political debase i-.:nt of the Nobility, by the shameful practices of the f mier Ministers. Why dial we abandon the generous and wiar principles proclaimed by the Prince Generalissimo at Amiejar? We are, said the magnanimous Bouirama, under the obligation of preserving the tranquillity of the L;ngdoin ; we ought not to suffer arbitrary arrests, gri t .itcus unnecessary molestation', or imprudent persecu fcns : they tend only to embitter party spirit, and keep a'ive the flames of civil war ; at least they defer the re s:ration of public peace and order." Further on the j4;uraalists asks--" What party have we gained by c-nr vacillating and hollow policy ? What credit hare we with the Cabinet of Madrid, with the clergy, or with t':e people?" The article concludes thus—" The President of the Council has shewn himself, in this casz as in craters, a man of some skill for a single transaction, but wholly destitute of that comprehensiveness of mind which e-ables its possessor to see beforehand a train of conse quences, and equally deficient in that loftiness of character which inspires confidence in those who know him. Like the pilot of a petty boat, he can avoid perils when he sees them plainly, but he is no captain for a long voyage. He cannot sail across the ocean. Wandering without design, or compass, he is every moment in danger of striking against a rock, or foundering in a storm." The Conatifti ti.mceo. however, denies that either the Prince de Poi to ase or M. de CHATE•elittlaND has returned to Paris. That paper has a long account of the disturbances at the :metal of the actor PHILIPPE. It appears that the Mi mstar of the Interior excused himself from interfering, by telling the deputation who waited upon him, that it was not in his power to compel the Clergy to receive the cor?se of a player into their cemetery. 'fhe Cunstitidionnel aids, in a postcript,—" We are assured that an order has been issued from authority, to celebrate a funeral service fir the deceased, and that it will take place this evening (N.rnday), at his parish church of St. Lawrence." From St. Petersburgh we learn, through the llnnifeer, that after all, the Turkish troops have not been withdrawn i.-:.r .:he principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. This Irtelligence takes us by surprise, as, from the autograph letter lately transmitted by his Isr ?ratal.

We are now certain that they still occupy the principality, and that they are net even taking any steps which indicate that they will soon 'itinerate it. It is not doubted that this news will make the Emerson es t-emely discontented with the Turkish Government, and lead to veal changes in the policy of the Russian Cabinet.

Est since her return front Nymphenberg. Though the symptoms are not alarming, the physicians strongly object to the journey, so that her MAJESTY will not go to Vienna till she is quite recovered, till which time the Kix° will not leave her. A letter from Semlin of the lit Oct. speaks of new troubles at Constantinople, in which the Seurat' himself is said to have been in great danger, but a Tartar who arrived from Constan tinople after the letter in question, has not brought any confir mation of this news.

There is now no doubt, as we have already announced, that the British Government considers the proclamation of Sir FITDERICK AUI3II as null and void. This document bas incensed all England.

The following letter is not from our usual Correspon dent, but the view it gives of the state of parties in France, and their prospects, entitles it to the attention of our readers. They will see that it agrees in most respects with the representations we have made on the authority of our well-informed Correspondent. The fall of the French Mi nistry appears to be unavoidable, notwithstanding the al- leged indifference of the mass of the people as to the in trigues of the Court. The private friends of CHARLES X• arc allied with the Royalists and Liberals in hostility to the Ministry, and M. DI VILLrLE himself can hardly ex p..ct that the Km() will retain him in office, in defiance of whatever there Is of public opinion in France, when his dismissal could be followed by no embarrassing conse quences of any description. His Most Christian MAJESTY evidently loves popularity, and there is no act by which he could purchase a greater abundance of it than by the ex pulsion of the present Ministers from their wars in the Council. Nor do we think that this measure could have any injurious effects on the intercourse between the Court of the Tuileries and the other Cabinets of Europe. The foreign policy of France is now pretty clearly defined ; and we should not apprehend, from any Ministry that might succeed that of M. ns VILLE LE, any departure from the pacific course which the common interests of all the great powers concur in requiring them to follow. PARIS. OCT.'S. Since the abolition of the Censorship, the French press has taken a zealous part against the French Ministry. It represents it as in a state of moral hostility with the nation, and as incapable and unworthy of continuing to govern France. On the other hand, no discordant voice troubles the concert of praises which is °Errol every day to the throne, and if we could literally believe our pub. lie Journals, the new Monarch would be • M At:Lewis in wisdom, a InEntatca in knowledge, and a TITUS in goodness. According to these same Papers, all the French, without eace shin. are united in one sentiment to acknowledge and adore the virtues of CHA• LES X. whose name I. never pronounced without beingaeconipanied by the most affectionate epithets. Unfortunately, our 'titers and our courtiers, the organs of our political panics, are shears in an error with respect to the public opinion ; they consi. der the interests, the wishes, the ambition of some individuals of some coteries, as the interet, the wishes, the wants of France: where as, if their language were disinterested, they would represent the greater part of the nation u forgetting Its former convulsions in peaceful occupations, as mutual between all the parties, and as nearly indifferent to public affairs. But amidst this nation, which seems to be a mere spectator of the public transactions, which concern it the moat nearly, the observer tollows with curiosity, though without laying much stress upon them, the new course of events to which is now attached the fall of the doctrines, the opinions or parties hitherto known by the earn:s of Liberal, Ultra, and Ministerial. The accession of OUIJA' X. has inspired them all with hopes more or less solid. The marks of kindness lavished by the new Kt NG on the princi pal Liberals who have been received at Court; the promises which he has repeated to preserve entire the charter, and the institutions &rived from it ' • the encouragement which he has given the Magis. may, the kind of reproof whteli he has given to the principal Ad. ministrative Authortiiss, several times warning them to keep chiefly to the e xecution of the laws, and never to go beyond—all this gives confidence to the Liberals. and they even believe that if Cluisti.re X. should dismiss his Ministers, he would choose their succesurs among their body. This opinion, it is true, is out general among the Liberals, but it is certain that it exists. The Ultras, on their title am full of hopes, an it must be owned that they are much be tter founded. 31. BLIUGE, rte VITIOLLES, and DI MAILLr, who fmwomel the Court of 31oxstxua before the death of loco XVIII., and were in a manner exiled from public affairs under she late reign, depended and still confidently depend on the new KIN(i. They will demand much, for the demands of fidelity are great. All the ancient nobility who detest the Ministry environ the new Monarch, and exert themselves to monopolize the benefits of his reign. They have chances of success, fur CHARLES X. is known not to be distinguished by any great energy of character. The organs of the Liberals can now trees the tiwtshold of the Tuileries, but will they have the same finnnega and perseverance as their adversaries? We may be allowed to doubt it. Meantime the Liberals have still one support, namely, time 1/avenue. It is certain, that since the war in Spain that PRINCE has adopted opinions which he did not entertain before: he is almost liberal. The limo, proud of Ilia dear son, seems much inclined to let him take an important part in public affairs. Unfortunately, neither of them is endowed with any remarkable degree of ability. It is, doubtless, because each party hope* to gain the favour of the 31oNARCH, that he is overwhelmed front all quarters with praises and flattery. If such means could prevail, the public welfare would rest on a very precarious foundation. As fur the Miaistry, it faces the throne, and defends itself as well as it can by means of its paid organs. Its party is reduced to the small number of persons for whose friendship it pays ; even the indifferent speak of it with disrespect. Its dismissal might pass for a popular measure, if the people were at all interested about these timings. M. DE 7 . 02 my ER e and 11. Dr Prraow wTT are, more portico. lardy than the other, objects of the hatred and the sarcasms of our politicians: however, the continuance of their power is a problem which is mit yet solved. The following is an anecdote which the Liberals are fond of relating:— . By the areecsion of Moxstttra to the throne of France, the Company of Gardra du ('odes of the PRINCE has become the ;ph Company of Gorda do Corps to Use KING. All the Of. deers ►lrve been retained, though they are not all of the high nobility. and there are some parvenus among them.

This morning he was to be buried according to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church, and it seems that the Priests of the church of St. Lawrence, where the funeral ceremonies were to be Performed, acerpted, yesterday evening, the sum of 4410 francs, as the pike of the service. But when the funeral reached the church door, the friends and attendants, who were pretty numerous, were informed, to their great astonishment, that the body of a man, who, as a coineinan, had been under the general excommunication Jiro. nounced against those of his profession, could not be received within the sacred walls. Such ar obstacle, and brought forward in such a manner, excited general indignation among the crowd. Some cries of " Down with the Priests !" were heard. The friends and colleagues of the deceased immediately took the coffin on their shoulders, and proceeded to the Tuileries, intending to demand justice of the KING. But they had scarcely reached the boulevard of Mount Martin, when they were stopped by gend'armes on horse back, who, howtver, allowed a deputation to go to the King. At the expiration of three quarters of an hour the deputation came out. It was said that the KING had given the order solicited, and some persons k Rol. The procession turned back, the hearse in which the coffin was replaced was surrounded by gendarmes on toot and horseback, who conducted the mortal remains of poor Putt IPPE. not back to the church, but to the burying ground of Pere la Chaise, without allowing it to receive those funeral honours which are not denied to the greatest criminals. The crowd loudly expressed their indignathm. Thry were not allowed to enter the burying.ground. As the hearse was going in. other priests, in their surplices, came out ; they had acempanied some privileged corpse to its last abode. They wet.* received with hissings and cries cc. sembling the croaking of a raven. When the burial was finished the gend'artnes dispersed in small parties, who were pursued by the mob, and pelted with mud and stones. It is *thrilled that the Kix° was not at the Tuileries. We have received files of the Friend q'the Lair, and Greek Chronicle, to the 22ti of August. We are already, through other channels, in possession of later intelligence from Greece, than any we can obtain from this source. We subjoin, however, two interesting documents issued by Prince Al AVROCORDATO, the General Director or President of the Greek Government. They manifest a suitable de gree of spirit and energy, for the circumstances under which that unfortunate people have to struggle for their freedom and independence. [From the Greek Chronicle of the 9th (9110 of August.] DECREE. _ . When the enemy made his irruption into Acamania, he relied, not so much upon his own forces as upon the promises of the apos tate BAILNAILIOTEI, who pledged himself to him that he would destroy many of the tireeks. Wherefore, at such ajuncture, it ap pears& matter of vital necessity that rigid measures should be taken with regard to spies and to messengers, by whose assistance the enemy might endeavour to attain his object:— It is therefore decreed— 1. That the Govercors of Aearnania and Etolia, and the Gene. ral Council of Etolia, should adopt the most prompt and decisive MeaIIUTCII for the discovery of such spies, that those suspected of such practices should be placed under the vigilant inspection of the Magistrate, by whom they are to be examined; and these whose guilt is manifest from their acts, are to be tranferred to the General Military Tribunal, where they shall be tried according to military I law, and be punished with a severity suitable to their crimes. The Decree then prescribes certain regulations and limits for the Inhabitants, and those disobeying the regulations, and wander ing from one district to another, shall be looked upon as guilty of treachery. It is further ordered—That if soldiers wander heollenly to the two cities of 111iuolongiii and Anatolia, out of the prescribed mi litary limits, neither provision nor subsistence is to be given them, especially those who, competent to perform military duties outside, bring their families to these cities for safet Individuals thus ' transgressing, are to be warned by the to retire as speedily as possible to their proper military station, and they shall be reminded of what is contained in the preceding part of this Decree. In the absence of the General Director, a vigilant inspection will give public effect to this Decree, and will execute it accord ing to the letter, with energy and promptnesa. A. MAVROCORDA TO.

He was also in. duced to the measure by the reliance he placed upon the promises of certain persons, who basely betrayed their country, who denied Christ, anti paid their homage to tyranny and Mahomet. He per haps hoped he would find • favourable reception. Ile suppose lhe would find other traitors (barnakiotes) to welcome him on his arrival. This he hoped, but he was deceived.

You will also consider, that what ever individual there be, who, front the time he has placed his family in a state of safety, does not repair to the camp anti per form his duty there, he will be proclaimed s traitor to his country, and will act as an auxiliary to the Turks. The Government keeps a watchful eye upon all such persons, and has given strict orders to the Commanders of each district with respect to those who do ,tot perform their duties in the most accurate manner. Shame upon those who can bear with indifference to be pointed out as the be trayers of their country. The vengeance of the law will fall upon their heads, end will pronounce sentence upon them in behalf of that country to which, when in danger, they did not give assist ance. August 4 (16). A. MAVROCORDATO. There are letters in town confirming the account of the distruction of the Egyptian fleet, and the visit of Sir FaIDICRICII ADAM to Greece.

Nothing new from Peru. Lord Cot HRANE had sailed for the Pacific, to co-operate with Bouvan, and to intercept the Spanish squadron in that sea. It is now upwards of two months (ride MUTT/11l Pass, of 16th August) since we noticed that the liberality with which our Government had acted towards the Artists of France, by taking off' the heavy Custom-house duty on French engravings, had been very ill requited on the other side the Channel. 14 e then stated, that not only did they continue their ad valorem duty on English engravings, but that one out of every three was taken from every consign ment of prints sent by the London printsellers to Paris. That one of our principal dealers had sent out, a few weeks before, sir engravings, the prime cost of which was five guineas each, two of- which were taken from the number by the Supreme Public Functionary at the Dou.sus, in addition to the per cottage duty on their value. We added, "We believe the French Government to he wholly unacquainted with this extortionate proceeding at their Custom-House, and we trust that when it reaches the ears of the Authorities, proper means will be taken to put a stop to it. It it extremely injurious to British Artists, and if not discontinued, must be met, by not only re-im posing the former duty on French prima, which is now re duced to a merely nominal charge, but by an additional duty, which shall countervail this deduction, as the Paris dealers have refused to receive several consignments of English engravings lately invoiced from this country, in consequence of their remunerating price being thus raised so high as to shut them out of the French market." We had afterwards reason to suspect, on finding this exaction not discontinued, that it was known to, and con nived at by, those in authority, whose duty it was to in quire into and suppress it ; and our suspicion, it ap pears, was well founded, since it turns out that the person, in edpe, by whom this extortion ought to be punished, is the very person by whom it is practised. Certain valuable prints were about a fortnight ago con signed by Coxteatint and Co. to their agent at Calais, and by him forwarded, by order of the Calais Custom-House, to the " Direetion de la Lihrairle" of the Mirasvl R FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Ministers. des .lifilires Etran;, , er , s) at Paris, to be cleared by M. Austoxr, printsellcr of the Rue Eoussean, who, finding that it was intended to deduct three of each impression, refused to accede to it, and at length got permission to have the consignment returned to Messrs. CorsAGni in London. Thus three impressions are exacted of each print out of the number sent, whatever it may be, and however high-priced the print may be. As seldom more than half a dozen are ordered of any expensive print at one consignment, this is equivalent to a duty of fifty per cent. besides the regular ad valorem duly, which, when the twenty-five per cent. commission to the agent on the sale is added, and the expense of shipping, &c. the print sellers in England are as effectually excluded from the French market, as if English engravings were an article of positive prohibition. We trust this subject will be brought under the imme diate attention of the British Ambassador at Paris. We shall not fail to advert to it again very shortly, as no ex action can, under the circumstances, be more unjust, nor any hostility to the English Artist more unjustifiable.

Yesterday morning was married, at Marylebone New Church, by the Lord Bishop of Killaloe, Miss Arbuthnot, niece to the Right Hon. Charles Arbuthnot and of the Bishop, to John Lister Kaye, Esq., eldest son of Sir John Lister Kaye, Bart. On Wednesday the Lord Mayor gave a dinner at the Mansion-house to a large party. Four young Greeks, the sons of sane of the principal directors of the operations in Greece, were amongst the guests. They were introduced by Mr. Bowring, and were attired in the costume of the country, richly embroidered. At the request of Mr. Bow ring, who communicated the wish of the Lord Mayor to the Greeks, they swig several of the national airs without the least hesitation, and they danced according to the style of their country, with as much readiness. The ladies, of' whom there were many in the party, were delighted at the musical display, which was completely scientific, but the dancing was incomparable. The names of the young Greeks, who are four of the ten sent over to be educated here, upon the invitation of Mr. Jeremy Bentham, are Eustatio 'talks, from Napoli di Romania ; Stamonseca, a Livadian, son of one of the Chiefs of that province, at whose house Lord Byron was accustomed to visit ; Costa, son of a Suliot Chief ; and Pericles, an Athenian.

" You rule !" said the Attorney-General, in a tone of suppressed indignation, loud enough to be heard, however, by many of his brethren of the bar ; " You rule! you were never fit to rule any thing but a copy-book."

We have hitherto had no direct intercourse between this port and the Philippine Islands ; but we have the satisfaction to announce that ouch intercourse has commenced under very favouran:,. auspices. Satisfactory accounts of the state of the dlanilla mark ; ; having been received at this settlement, an investment, eonorn,; chiefly of British manufactures, was immediately shipped pc m a on the 24th ult. we received a valuable cargo of the productions of the Philippines, consigned to one of the principal houses c agency here.

We have roceived 13)gota Papers to the 23th of July in clusive, which convey explanations respecting the tle'cc tion of Olaneta from the Spanish cause. It appears from these Papers that a civil war raged in Peru among the Royalist Chiefs. We extract the following : (From the ateeta de Colombia.) We have intelligence front the Liberating Army in Peru up to May 17. Getters! Bolivar was in good health, and his energy ad genius were unchanged. The army has moved from the titirt. meta of Trustllo towards Lima, with the certainty and confidette of heating the enemy if he resolved to risk a battle.

Olaneta, on his part, took measure. to support his new amain. meet ; but finding himself surrounded by all the bodies of his ere. my's army, trgainat whom it was not easy for him to contend with success, he pronounced himself in favour of independence, sal moved towards the provinces of Jujuy and Salta.
