I.O,NDON, MONDAY, Ocrouu• 3, 1824, • The Paris Papers of Friday arrived last night : they put tia in possession of no intelligence of importance. The lifcni:eur of Friday contains, in the Official Part, in Ordinance relative to the Coach Society of the Upper Seine, Yonne, &c. permitting the addition of 400 new shares of 1,000 francs each to the funds of the Society. No abate can be issued till the whole 1,000 franca has been paid into the fund. . _ . '1 Le news from Greece is rather unfavourable to the Patriots. It is stated that REDSCH/D PACIIA, having been reinforced, has again assumed a formidable attitude, and returned to the vicinity of Missolonglii, with the in tention of renewing the siege of that place. There is no information of any kind from the Mores. The King of Porruosa has lately conferred upon the nephew of M. HYDE DI NEI:VILLE the dignity of a Grandee, for his services in defeating the conspiracy of the ultra royalists on the 30th of April, 1824. The gadrid Gazette of the 19th ult. publishes the de tails of the presentation of Mr. Evartr.vr, the new Mi niver from the United States to the King of SPAIN. The address of the American Envoy was to the following eff?•ct " Sire, la pc:seating to your Majesty my credentials, I flatter myself that your Majesty will deign to receive me with the same good:ices as my predecessors, whom I will endeavour to imitate, Cy d:schsrging my duty in a manner agreeable to your Majesty. The President of the United States has charged me to give the weer positive assurances to your Majesty, of the sentiments of re ipect and good-will which he and the people of the United States entertain towards your person, your Royal Family, and the britntsli nation. The President is desirous of co-opersting with your Majesty in cementing those relations of friendship which exist between the two nations, and which their geographical past hen ought to induce them to cultivate. Nature, in rendering them ceighbours in several important points of their possessions, seems to invite them to be friends. The Government of the United States will spare no pains to accomplish this object, and it hopes lbs.:the feeltugs of your Majesty's heart are in unison wilt those of its os,n. • The President has given me the necessary power to treat on some questions of detail, which have lately been raised between the two Governments. I shall deem myself fortunate if I can pro- wine their common good. I pray your Majesty to deign to accept the homage of my per sonal sentiments of profound respect and absolute devotion." . From the stiff Republican envoy of a Government in alliance with his revolted subjects, it must b? admitted that this address is personally as flattering as FENDINAND could have expected. The expedition for flavannah had not sailed from Ferrol on the 14th ult. The best course probably would be, not to send it at all under present cir cuinstanci.s. Tbe soldiery are already in a state of mutiny, sod are watching only loran opportunity of revolting. This i 3 not a force on which the Royal Government can rely for tli- maintenance of its authority in Cuba. [from we Etoile. dated Saturday:l P 41113, SEPT. 311.

The thestrerof war in Western Greece, which had beta a long time in Livadia, is now removed from that province. The forcer of the two parties, which weeklong assembled there, and laid waste the country in every direction, are. now collected in other parts of Greece. Itedschid Pacha, to whcm the Porto-tad confided the direction of all the military operations to the North of the Peloponnews, and was to cause the (corps of Thessaly and Agrapont to pene tratel/ into the More s , by th e I st hmus ; Corinth, and across the Chill of Lepant o , whe r e they w ere to in Ibrahim Paella, has suddenly changed his plan, or rather bas made it subordinate to the particular plan of his uwn airy& ' ftedschid had at first Irna,qited that nothing would be more easy than to make himself Master of Nissuloughi, and thence to proceed to Paints. But he has been d:aappointed in his expectation ; he has at length become sensible that he could not attain his object, without de veloping great resources. in consequence, he has successively I Called into Etolia the Tareo-Albanian corps which had penetrated Into Livadia, to reinforce his army, leaving only a few uoops at Bedouins ; these latter very soon repassed the Thermopyla. The Pacha of Ncropont, on his part, having been obliged to send away the auxiliary corps which bad been detached from Thessaly to second his operations, was reduced to his own troops, which were destined entirely for the garrisons of the fortresses in Eubcrs. By all these movements the detached corps of the Greeks, which were to corer the Isthmus of Corinth, and which after several san guinary actions had regained possession of Thebes, Salons, and Lidortki, found themselves at liberty. Two small corps of ob servation have been left at Thebes and Salons as a cheek orrNegro pont.and Lepanto. All the other corps have marched away ; those Of General Gours by way of Corinth into the Mores, and those of Cfenerallktralskaki by way of Cosima into Doha. The first had advanced ICA rgoa, whence it was to march towards Caritene and Tripolizza, while the second should reach the neighbourhood of Missolonghi, wherein has done great injury to the Turks. But in the interval Bedschid Paella had been joined by the corps of reserve stationed at Larissa, to meet which he went as far ns Carrassara, and after having received all his reinforcements, he is again in a formidable attitude. According to the last accounts, he had attacked the Creek General Karaiskaki, and driven him back to Cashts, while another corp of his army has dispersed the Greek guerillas under the command of Zorga. lie has on this again col• lected the greater . part of his troops in the vicinity of 3lissolonghi, to continue his attacks on that important piece.

This fact is a complete answer to all the state ments which have recently appeared in the French and German Papers. Icawaist PACIIA is evidently in a cri tical situation in the centre of the Mores. By union and energy the Patriots may yet bring this campaign to a vic torious conclusion, decisive of the struggle in which they are engaged. _ All who know Mr. Owes will give him credit for the purest intent ions, whatever may be the new scheme ofsocicty which he lays down for the happiness of man. Ile devotes himself to the cause with a perseverance which demands great sacrifices, and he makes those sacrifices with a readi ness that proves him to be truly sincere. lie would bring us back again to that primitive stage of society when "Every rood of ground maintained its man"— when, of course, the only soeptres of Government were the spindle and the spade, and a commonwealth of fellow labourers, mutually supporting and supported, made up the whole community. It is with a view of leading us back into this enviable state that the LONDON Co-o rips- TIVE SOCIETY," with RODERT OWEN et their head, are now organizing a system for the forriation of their new communities. IVe gave an accotnt, at great length, in the British Press of Tuesday last, of the first meeting of this Society, which was called together by a printed circular, inviting " Those whn nre;sinterely desirous of Improving the condition of mankind in general, and those especially who suffer the most from the Innumerable and complicated evils, which must continue to exist while society remains as at present constituted, are ear nestly Invited, by the London Co-operative Society, to investigate the merits of their new system of social arrangements." There is a manliness on the part of the Society in thus challenging investigation into their system, which shows at least an honest conviction that it will bear it. We will proceed to try it by the test of common sense ; if it will stand tit, touch we shall then—so fac u our vote is con cerned—let it pass for sterling. The Report of the Com mittee, read from the Chair, by Dr. TUCIE R, the better to assist the judgment "of the middling and operative classes," contrasts what it describes to be, the present system of society, with that which it is intended to intro duce in the place of it. " The basis of the present state of society Is competition. Every one seeks his individual interest, and endeavours to acquire as much wealth as possible for his own exclusive benefit ; but as all aro pursuing the same end by similar means, their efforts necessa. rily counteract each other ; life is rendered a continual struggle— tne discoveries and improvements of science, and the energies of human nature are frequently not merely wasted, but become greatly injurious in their operations—great inequalities are produced—and while a few succeed in realising immense fortunes, the great body of the people Is reduced to a state of penury, and of unceasing se. requited toil, and ever, the few are not rendered happy. " The fundamental principles of the new system, on the con. tray, arc, mutual co-operatics in the production, and perfie t equality in the distribution, of all the means of enjoyment ; prin ciples that, by uniting the individual and social interests of man kind (which ought never to have been separated), will lead to the highest possible state of human happiness, and remove all the ob. stacks, physical and moral, by which its attainment has been hiterto retarded." Well, do we mean to deny that this would be a most advantageous exchange? By no means. But there is one thing needful to the bringing about this " highest possilik state cf human happiness, and miming all the obstacles, physical and mei. :1, which has hitherto retarded its attainment;" and that is, AN ENTIRE CHANGE IN THE MORAL CONSTITUTION OP MAN. Until this has taken place, we shall not feel inclined to put down our natnes for admission in this New Jerusaletn. Ambition, envy, rapacity, selfishness, sensual pleasures—all these, and many more co-operatives, rule and reign so extensively, and have borne such triumphant sway from the time, whereof— to use the lawyer's phrase—the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, that u Ail we find diese evil agents are fast laid by the heels--uutil we actually behold SATAN bound hand and foot, we shall not fancy ourselves safe in parting with what comforts we have in exchange for all these precious promises. The enjoyments to be had under this paw system of society are so glowingly painted. that— if our heads were weal—we should presently forsake our old competitors, to join this "little heaven below," and become share-holders in the NEW COMMUNION. It is the error of most reformers to imagine that they hare nothing more to do than to point out clil2, and to • • . THE 'lll A 'ISIS PRESS. propose remedies; and, that this being done, regeneration follows of course. Mr. Ow EN talks and reasons—if, indeed, he can be said to reason—as if the whole of nature were a plastic body, which would accommodate itself to whatever impressions it pleased his philanthropy to make upon it. He seems to regard himself as the Potter, and mankind as so much day in his hands. Nay more, he deems it pos sible for every man, whenever he is inclined, not only to reverse his own feelings and habits, but to alter, should he so choose, that state of things in which he was born and bred ; "' My friends, at this hour you aro living in the midst of the most irrational circumstances flat can passihly exist. You wish to promote your happiness, but you are living In circumstances which ►re alike pernicious both to the highest and the lowestindivi. duali n the country. ►'ill you always remain thus ? Ilave you no desire to alter this state of things, and to promote your own hap piness_ir you have, it is eery earn la accomplish. You have little more then to will It, to surround yourselves with circum stances the most desirable that can be wished." This is really so absurd as not even to deserve the name of theory. It is so visionary as to be unintelligible. Every man knerwe, who thinks et all, that he cannot snake himself at uid the character he pleases; it would be well, no doubt, if all that was evil in the circumstances that sur rounded him would depart at his bidding; hut would any man be considered sound in his head that should confident. ly give the word of command ? That any man, or number of men, may be placed in situations favourable to the cul tivation of every better feeling of their nature, is certain; it is also cent:it that a society may be constructed with a view to this, with great good effect. lie who killed a bird -that took shelter in his haus:" could not become a memher of the A ROPAG es of Athens. Such an exclusibn was well contrived to cherish the feeling of humanity, and its effect could not but be useful. Every institution which tends to ameliorate the condition of the people win) lire under it is well worth supporting. Eat to lay the ground work of a new system of political society, on miracles to be worked on our moral nature—to take it for granted that any man can, at will, infuse into himself new principles of thinking and acting,—such projectors, instead of construct ing an edifice within fifty miles of London after the model laid before them by Mr. OWEN, had better, at once, retire to St. Luxes, that is ready built, and settle their arrange ments in their own way. The society of Co-operatives professedly aim to strike ! ont of their system all those motives that have hitherto governed the conduct of men in society. All the accus tomed principles of commercial dealing are to be exploded, as the source of all crime. They intend that tho inequality of wealth shall await its doom from their exertions. The Articles of agreement for the formation of their community, for the purpose of readier circulation among the working classes, are sold at the small price of three pence. All. TICLE the, first, after observing on the present state of so ciety, and the misery, vice, and crime that are found in it, proceeds to declare that " Whereas these evils appear to us to originate for the most part in the system of individual competition and private accumulation, with the endless restraints and penalties, legal and social, to which they give birth, stimulating men to acquire wealth by any means, though at the expense of the Wear, 'the happiness, and even the lives, of their fellow-creatures." But without the spirit of individual competition, what would have been the present condition of society? To what else do we owe our improvement in arts—in science—in manufactures—in machinery—in all that ministeis to the convenience, or that adds to the comfort of life? What should we have been at this day, had not a kind and benevolent Providence interwoven this stimulus into the frame of our nature, as the incentive to our industry ? As to the wealth of the agicultural and commercial cati_ Wish, the poorer order. are taught to look upon it as so much of sinful accumulation ; ail the privations which it may be their lot to struggle with, are placed to that ac count: " Whereas almost all the pernicious passions, vices, and crimes. of society proceed from the excessive inequality of wealth (the in. evitalle effect of such individual competition) which entails want, ignorance, envy, anxieties, frauds, thefts, and all the other evils of poverty, on NIXE-TENTIIIi of mankind—and avarice, op. pression, idleness, ennui, selfish sensuality, with all the evils of in active repletion, on the other tenth. - -leaving to almost none a re lish for intellectual and social pleasures, founded en the tranquil and secure enjoyment of real comforts, appreciated at their real value, their power to produce happiness compared with the trouble of producing them." In a great commercial kingdom like our own, the in equality of wealth is the necessary result of the security of property and the guardianship of the laws. To habituate the lUbcuring classes to regard it as the great barrier which stands between them and the reward of their industry—to denounce the whole scheme of Government under which wealth is thus accumulated, as no better than a sanction for so much oppression, ands protection for so much plun der—is to preacb,in language plain enough to be understood, that doctrine of democratical equalization which leads to the destruction of all property, snd the subversion of all law. There Is no rot-ale-house in any manufacturing town in the kingdom in which the doctrine here laid down is not capable of being carried out to tho full length of its infe.. renew " Whereas it Is well ascertained that a competent Dumber of in dustrious Individuals can supply in abundance all the necessaries and comforts of life to each other ; and " Whereas It appears to us that in lieu of the existing system of Individual Competition, a system of Mutual Co-operation In the production of wealth, and of equality in itv dietributlon, would remove the greater portion of the evils Binder which society at present :skiffs." What plate Is not all this calculated to produce? If Mr. Ow sx and the CO-OPIESIATIF/9 choose to indulge in dreams of imaginary perfection, they are at liberty to do so. If they choose to spend their time and money in striving to give to these visions of their brain a real and substantial ex istence, let them. But thus to disseminate opinion, which go, in their result, to disturb all the received notions of property, and to derange the whole order of civil life; this they are not at liberty to do. In persuading, the great body of the working-classes to act up to their intended ex periments, and thus to loosen all the moral tics which bind them to their country and to their Lind—in bringing into the community a seT-octing principle of combination which shall set all the ancient rules of society and government at nought—to generate and keep alive a rankling discontent, by representing property, and the profits of capitol, as essentially and intrinsically hostile to the interests of all those by whose labour that capital is turned to account— this is to make war against the solid strength of this great Empire—to break up all those foundations upon which its prosperity rests, and to bring it—should the revolutionary . force that is now forming, consolidate itself—to utter and inevitable ruin. CITY, g -*TERMS* EVENING. This proved a very uninteresting day on the Stock Ex changes, as might naturally have been looked for after the heavy settlement yesterday. Consols, in which very few transactions occurred, opened at 881, but they afterwards declined to 87Z 8, at which price they closed. The business in the Foreign Market was equally unim- r~ portant. The following prices were reported in the dif ferent Stocks in which any business worth recording took place : Greek Scrip 24i 24 discOunt ; Mexican ditto 11 104 discount ; Cuatemala ditto 4 34 discount ; Brazilian ditto 91 St discount; Danish ditto; 6i 6 discount; Co lombian Bonds 74/ 5 ; and old Spanish Bonds 161 17. There was some jobbing in a few of the Shares in the early part of the morning at advancing prices. Bolivar Shares were a good deal inquired after at 19 21. Potosi Shoes also improved ; they were to clay at 1 discount, to I premium ; and Pasco Peruvian Shares were done at 7 8. The Emperor of Russia left. St. Petersburgh on the 13th ult. on his tour to the Southern Provinces of his empire. The Brussels Papers of Saturday were received at our office yesterday. They notice that on Wednesday M. Ar trault,' the author of the tragedies of Marius and Germuni eus, attended the levee of the King of the Netherlands, and was very well received by his Majesty. The tragic muse of M. Arnault, •it is stated, has chosen ne of the finest subjects in are history of the Netherlands as the ground work of a most interesting piece called William the Firrt. This tragedy was read a few days ago at the pavillion of Terveuren, by the celebrated Talma. "We are assured," says the Journal Belgique, " that it gained the approbation of the august and numerous company that 'was assembled. The portrait of the austere Philip 11. of Spain, who had offered a reward for the head of the Prince of Orange, is said to be drawn with the band of a master. A versel, the Junon, has arrived et Havre from Port au Prince, with a cargo consigned to the parties by whom the first instalment of the Hayden indemnity is to be ad vancA. On Friday afternoon the Thalia, of 3M tons, sailed with a fair wind at E. from Gravesend, having 160 aattlers on board for the British settlement forming en the land of the Rio de la Plata Association. A vessel bound from -Malaga to St. Petersburgh lately perished on the coast of the Isle of Rugur. The cargo, insured for account of the Emperor of Russia for 60,000 rix dollars; consisted of statues 'end blocks of marble from Home, and wine and fruit from Corsica and Spain, and :of sulphur. The Frankfort Papers of the 2lth September assert, on the authority of the Oriental Spectator, that Commodore Hamilton, instead of entering into negotiations to protect the Greeks, is blockading Hydra. The Oriental Spec tutor complains of the exaggerations published in some Journals respecting the successes obtained by the Greeks. A lett?r from Rio Janeiro states, that Lord Cochrane has addressed a friend in that port, mating that he will never serve in the fleet of Brazil, so long as the present Ministers bear the sway in that country. By the Hiram, arrived off Torbay, from Rio de Ja neiro, letters of the Sth of August have been received from that place. No reference is made to Sir Charles Stuart's mission, except to state that he was supposed to have en counteml greater difficulties than he expected in the dis cussions on the Treaty, but that it was Risen out that some document would be made public in a few days, to satisfy the general anxiety on the subject. We have received a fr.e . of Sierra Leone Gazettes to the 17th Jitiv. They contain the report of a ease tried in the Mixed Court of Justice, established in that colony for the suppression of the illicit traffic in slaves. The vessel was a Netherlands' schooner, called the Bey; and though it had no slaves actually on board, yet, as it was evidently fitted out for the purpose or carrying on that vile traffic, it became liable to condemnation by the additional article of the treaty between the two Governments. The England, Reay, froth 'Bombay, has artired off the Start, but she does not bring intelligence of a more recent date, than has already been received. She sailed from Bombay on the 7th of May, and from St. Helena, August 1. The Burmese Imperial State clriage, which was cap tured at an early period of the • 'sent sanguinary Indian war, has just reached this c0t...4, and is now preparing for a public exhibition at the Egyptian Fall, Piccadilly. It is, without exception, one of the most splendid works of art that has ever been produced, presenting an entire blaze of gold, silver, and precious stones. (H the latter, the number must amount to many thousands, comprehending diamonds, rubies, sapphires white and blue, emeralds, amethysths, garnets, topazes, cats'-eyes, crystals, &c. The carving is of a very superior description ; the form and construction of the vehicle extraordinary ; and the general taste displayed throughout the whole design is at once so grand and imposing, yet at the same time so chaste and re fined, as to defy all nvalry enen from European workman ship. The warlike poWer and resources of this surprising people are at present exciting universal astonishment and attention. This new object attests the fact, that, for taste in design and skill in the execution of works of art, their talents have been no less hidden and unknown to us. The carriage stands between 20 and 30 feet in height, and is drawn by elephants.—Ackermann's Repository. COMMERCIAL EMB•RRASSMENTS.—There have been three failures of cotton speculators hero within the last few days; one owing about looot. ; another about 25,0001.; and the third nearly 50,001. At present, we understand, the parties are all trying to effect compromises with their creditors ; the best composition proposed, we believe, is Ss. in the pound, and the lowest Is. or Is. 3d. Two of the parties have failed before, under circumstances pretty simi lar. We need scarcely say they are the two who are likely now to pay the smallest dividends.-3fandaerter Guardian. PREPARATION OF COFFEE AT ROSETTA.-0110 of the most curious sights in Rosetta, so famous for the fittest Mocha coffee, is the preparation of that article for use. After roasting the coffee, it is pounded in immense mortars ; three Arabs working at a time with enormous pestles, each as large as a man can raise. The capacity of the bottom of the mortar being only equal to the reception of one of these at a time, the pestles are raised according to the measure of an air sung by an attendant Arab, who sits near the mor tar. The main purport of this curious accompaniment is, to prevent the hand and arm of a boy, kneeling near the mortar, from being crushed to atoms. The boy's arm is always within tite mortar, which allows room for each pes tle to pass in turn without bruising him, if he places it in time against the side of the vessel ; but, as after every stroke he must stir up the powder at the bottom of the vessel with his fingers, if the precise period of each blow were not marked by the measure of the song, his arm would be struck off. A sight of this process is sufficient to explain the cause of the very impalpable nature of the coffee powder used in Turkey, where the infusion more resembles the appearance of chocolate than of coffee, as we prepare them for beverage in England.—Asiatic Journal. MEETING OF ARTIFANS.—On Tuesday evening last, pursuant to public notice, a meeting of the artisans of Manchestet' was held in the manor court-room, High-street, for the purpose of having laid before them several commu nications which had been received by their committee rela tive to their welfare. The chair was taken by Mr. James, and one or two individualsl had spoken, when Mr. John Tester, the Secretary to the Bradford Union was introduced. Ile addressed the meeting at considerable length, and laid before them a history of the origin of the turn-out of the Bradford combers anti weavers, and of their subsequent pecuniary circumstances. He named some few firms which he said had come forward, anti given them all they asked, in a most liberal manner. Ile concluded his speech by en treating the artisans of Manchester to assist them as far as lay in their power, that they might be able to keep out longer against those of their masters who refused to accede to their very reasonable and just demands. Mr. Swift, a wool comber from the neighbourhood of Iluddersfiehl, and several other individuals, workmen of Manchester, subse. qucutly addressed the meeting in defence of unions gene.. rally. Resolutions, pledging the meeting to assist the Bradford Union, and to support the Trades' Newspaper, as being the best organ of intelligence for the artisans, were entereeinto, and a vote of thanki passed to the Chairman, when the meeting separated at half-past 10 o'clock.

Yesterday afternoon their Imperil Majesties made th e i r public entry into this c ity w i t h a degree of splendour which surpasses all description : they reached the line at half-past four o clock, were received in a tent erected for the pgisp ose by the Magnates, who were assembled in their court dresses. As soon as they alighted the band of the regi• meat of cuirassiers of Archduke Francis of Modena played the hymn " Cod preserve the Emperor Francis." After restin; a short titre, the procession set out again, and, ac companied by the joyful acclamations of the people, and the ringing ef sll the bells, proceeded to the Palace of the Primate, where the Emperor's sons were ready to receive their Majesties. • • After the servants who preceded, the splendid pro. cession was led by the Archbishops and Bishops, followed by the other Magnates in half oriental costume, and is grand gala. His Imperial Highness the G ran d D u k e Pa latine was in the midst of the Magnates, who were co. vered with jewels, gold. and pearls. Among them Counts Oczkcy and Anthony Bathiery were particularly remark.. able for the splendour of their dresses, the sight of which filled every body with pleasing surprise. Immediately after the Magnates followed their Imperial Majesties, is the Ifittlgarim national costume, in an open carriage, at. tended by the Captains of the guard. Prince Nicolas Esterhazy, who was, as it were, covered with diamett!s and pearls; and the Marquis de Sommariva, his Imperial.

At the sight of their Imperial Majesties the people broke out int o e x c l amat i ons o f j ay, which it is possible to describe. Iler Majesty the Empress Louisa ap. peered to be especially affected by the enthusiastic joy of the people, and returned the acknowledgement in the most afrable manner. The finest weather, and the sun shining with peculiar splendor, favoured this magnificent fete. TI er lustre of the diamonds, the gold and silver, had a magic effect in the beams of the sun, and inspired every body who beheld it with admiration and delight. The Court equipages of several of the Magnates were entirely covered with shins r, and all of thi.m surrounded by a great nom. her of servants 'shining with silver. ..110e, too, Prince Esterhazy wag distinguished ; his 'carriage was accom panied by 56 officers of his household.

Nothing farther seems to have been done, and the ships will sail as soon as they have their crews coin. plete. To prove to Spain that otr Government is perfectly neutral, no officer or stater of the royal navy hat obtained permission to serve on board these ships. A second order has been hawed, by which all the officers on boa:d the ships that have already sailed are to leans them, and return Mime as soon as these ships cease to bo Swedish property. At the last ships were sold by auction, and Spain might have purchased them as well as the present owners, there Is no ground for complaint Our Government would doubt. less have negivflated with another Power rather than with a private person, and have granted, on proper security, the utmost facilities for the payment. It is said the Spanish Ambassador did rot come municate this offer to his Government, and Sweden cannot help it, if Spain 'is uneasy respecting the future destination of these vessels. On tb't 5:11 instant the Spanish Ambassador communicated to the Chancellor two letters from Madrid, but did not present any note, and his verbal declaration on this occasion is said to have beer inttch more temperate than his preceding official communications."
