PARIS PAPERS. [From (hi EOM, dated Thursday, July 1.1 PARIS, Jura 30.—The following are the new reports which the Liberal Journals, and their new► allies, would make us believe to-day : " It is not only the Minister of War, but seve ral others, that have tendered their resignations. The Chambers, which will be closed in the begin ning of August, will be convoked in the month of November." We shall reply to the first Insinuation, as we did yeeterday as far as the Minister of War was concerned, that is, the fact is false. With respect " to a new convocation of the Chambers in the month of. November, we cannot conceive what could be the object. it is hard to guess how any hope could be entertained that credit would he given to a report which does not rest even on any apparent foundation ; accordingly, this report has not gained ground enough to merit the honour of a discussion; a direct contradiction seems to us sufficient. It seems, then, that every day is to produce .some false news of this kind. But what is the object of all these manceuvres ? Is it expected to disturb by them the King's Government ? This object will not be attained. Is it intended to mislead public opinion ? It may be deceived fors day or two, but it cannot be long abused ; it is a kind of credit which is lost more easily than it is acquired. ST. CLOUD, JUNE 30.--The King heard mass in his apartments. At noon, his Majesty pre. sided at a Council of Ministers, which sat till half past one. His Majesty has not beet: out to day. :Sagrax p JUKE 13.—Within these few days, several. Tartars, coming from the camp at Luis son, have arrived at Belgrade. A report has been spread among the Turks themselves, that the Seraskier Dervisch Pacha had commenced his operations, but that he had met with such a vigo rous resistance at Zeitouny, that he had been obliged to retreat. The Greeks give particulars - which would make this event considered as a great victory gained by their countrymen, but we shall wait for authentic reports. A fact that' seemed indisputable is, that the Captain Pacha has sailed for Salonichi, after taking 3,000 Alba cians on board his squadron. Various conjectures are circulated respecting the real object of his expedition; the most probable is, that he intends to make an attempt upon the island of Ipsaru.

By order of him Excellency the Minister of Finance; Signed, the i)ireetor, coitNNT DINCOURT. :(From the Courier Francois.) P AlllB, JUNE 30.—M. de Villele takes on lrirnserlf the responsibility of the contracts with , M.Ouvrard, end undertakes to defend them. Which of the Ministers, in this case, merits the most praise, it is difficult to say. In the debate, liowever, of the 'lath, M. de Villele showed how lie could hear the load of such enormous respon sibility. The first attack was so softened by the amenity of the mode that M. de Yillele did not shew any sensibility. There are some things, said M. Benj.Constant, concerning which silence, `mare convenient than words, is at least as elo quent. I appeal to men humane, just, arid gene .rous, and their conscience replies sufficiently to my silent interrogatories as to'gpain. M. de Vil .lele acted like a discreet man, and would not be behind in eloquence, nor in the observation of convenience—to silent interrogatories lie opposed silent answers, and even his adversaries admit that he escaped with advantage from this attack of silent eloquence.. [From the Courtitutivand.l Just: 30.—General Foy, speaking on -the With of the uncertainty which prev a il e d so ' 'long in the Council when the question of attack ing Spain was in agitation, said, " God forbid 'that I should reproach the King's Ministers, and certainly at present any reproches would be mai...apropos, when the frightful state of Spain expresses clearly how many powerful motives there were to hesitate before encountering so .dark a future." Murmurs from the right side were heard at this reflection, which may, how ever, be so easily corroborated by facts now i m ssin4 before our eyes. j rapid e Xatnination of ,what taking place in the Peninsula, is, quite sufficient to give us an idea a the deplorable si tuation of that unhappy coontrY. After remain _bhp, a few weeks at 4ranjuez, the Kiog of Spain ret urne d Madrid on the l oth, and the followi n g order preceded , It being the pleasure of the King, Our Lard and Master, that on his arrival there may be no persons in the Capital but such as may remain 440i:fading to law ; or by some particular orders) or in consequence of some other regulations, it is ordered that all those who hare not resided six years in the town, engaged in commerce, or in some known occupation, with a public and known residence, shall immediately leave the town, as they cannot be considered as citizens of Madrid." Thus every Spaniard or foreigner who has esta blished himself at Madrid within 5 years and 11 months—that is, before any symptoms of revolu tion had made their appearance in Spain (at that time several Publicists and M. de Chateaubriand himself represented Spain to us as a model to imitate) ; every capitalist who may have chosen the heroic city of Madrid as the place where he means to terminate in peace a life consecrated to the encouragement of industry, commerce, and civilization, has been forced to quit the Capital, and to expose himself to all the dangers which menace those who are obliged to travel by the high roads, or to seek refuge in spots where the public power is yet iu the hands of the fanatics. '"'"*" The employes," continues the Ordinance, " who have received orders to leave the Capital, cannot return in or make the least stay there." —This order applies particularly to the Eccle siastics, who, by special direction, must not re main in Madrid. I From flat Journal des INbats.l SMYRNA, MAY 19.—(11stract of a letter tran- Whited literally from the ;reek.)—Must we al ways be condemned to see only tears and blood ? When shall I escape far from a sacrilegious land, where we have no other prospect, after the ex termination of the Christians, than an inevitable war between Turkey and Russia, as the latter only waits till the belligerents have exhausted . themselves to impose chains on both ? Europe has beheld, without shuddering, the massacres of Chios; some merciless men have considered this holocaust of a population of ninety thousand souls us au expiatory sacrifice offered 'to the legitimacy of the Sultan. The public credulity may have been imposed on, but what reason can be assign-' ed to excuse the massacre of the Christians of Asia Minor—a timid and defenceless race, who have never done any thing but bow their necks to the fklahommedatr yoke ? Christian Europe ! learn the miseries of Greece, and of those who would still blind you ; lift up their voice, we will tear asunder the veil of iniquity. Hardly was it known that the Captain Pacha had ar rived at the Dardanelles, than it was also known that the different Contingents of the provinces of Anatolia, on their march to Smyrna, where they were to embark, shed the blood of all the Christians they met with on their route. The shore from Scala Nova to Tchestue was covered with thousands of robbers. The Government having taken no precaution to provide them with , provisions, nor to give them any pay, was obliged to satisfy them to permit them to plunder, point ing mit to them the Island of Samos, like another Chio, as the object of the great expedition in this campaign. In this view, our Governor, Hassan Paella, gave orders to the volunteers to repair to Melenia, where they had scarcely ar rived, when they put all the Christians, except children above eight years of age, whom they could find, to the sword. Children of a less age than this were thrown into the river, or trampled under foot by the horses. The same scenes of carnage took place in all the vil lages within ten miles, but the most mischievous blow was aimed at the unfortunate city of Per gamo, where above ten thousand perished in a massacre which lusted thirty-six hours. The whole of Magnesia was in alarm—the Greeks there. all expect death or servitude, for the bar barians are not going to attack SaMOS. They know, and other people know, that the object of the Porte is to extirpate Christianity from its empire. A Greek and Turk can no longer live in the same spot, and the whole of Chris tendom will soon find itself obliged to take up arms. The Captain Paella, m place of com ing to our coast, has directed his course to the Thermaic Gulf, to atttsck the island of Sciathos, where, according to the report of the Captain of an Austrian merchant vessel, who was then there, the Greeks, informed of his intention, are ready to receive him. The Captain Pacha, ignorant of this circumstance, after firing seven thousand b a lls, bad landed with a numerous corps. At least this Austrian Ca p tain , Saves Pesta, says so. A battle immediately ensued ; the Turks were charged so vehemently by the Greeks under the orders of Odysseus, or beau tiful Maurogenia of M Diamantes, and the ycone, that only the Cap tain Pacha was enabled to effect his , escape in a small boat. On reaching his ship he immediately made sail for Salonica, where he now is in a state of w xt hi e ctil r i a e orti sacrificed lnco w n e f r u e s i c o o n r . pos l e ‘ d he of " l i c ti r i k lg s e r n e t - a 1 11 cruited in the neighbourhood of Cassandra, of Noomiso, and of Macedonia,w here he at present is.

CORAL REEFS. Mtt. EDITOR-.-I hope the following account of a Coral Reef, extracted from the very interesting voyage of Capt: 13.tztt, HALL to the Loochoo .Islands, may prove, aniusipg _to such of your readers as have not read the work itself : " The examination of a Coral Reef, during the different stages of one tide, is particularly interesting. When the tide has left it for some time it becomes dry, and appears to be a com pact rock, exceedingly hard and ragged : but as the tide rises, and the waves begin to wash over it, the coral worms protrude themselves from holes which were before invisible. These animals are of a great variety of shapes and sizes, and in such prodigious numbers, that, in a short time, the whole surface of the rock appears to be alive and in motion. The most common worms is in the form of a star, with arms from four to six inches long, which are mosed about in"rapid motion, in all directions, probably to catch food. Others are so sluggish, that they may be mistaken for pieces of the rock, and are generally of a dark colour, and from four to five inches long, and two or three round. When coral is broken, about high-water murk, it is a solid hard stone, but if any part of it be detached at a spot which the tide reaches every day, it is found to be full of worms of different lengths and colours, some being as fine as a: thread, and several feet long, of a bright yellow colour; others resemble snails, and some are not unlike lobsters in shape, but soft, and not above two inches long. " The growth of coral appears to cease where the worm is no lon g er exposed to the washing of the sea. Thus a reef rises in the form of a cau liflower, till its top has gained the level of the highest tide, above which the worm has no power to advance, and the reef, of course no longer extends itself upwards. The other parts, in succession, reach the surface, and there stop, forming, in time, a level field, with steep aides all round. The reef, however, continually in creases, and being prevented from goitig higher, extends itself laterally in all directions. But this growth being as rapid at the upper edge us it is lower down, the steepness of the face of the reef is still peeserved. These are the cir cumstances which render coral reefs so dangerous in navigation ; for, in the first place, they are seldom seen above the water ; and, in the next place, their sides are 80 steep, that a ship's bow may strike against a rock before any change of soundings has given warning of the danger." i na t ural el An d yet ie Itappears that the accumulation of habitations thus formed by these apparently insignificant tribe of animals, sometimes attain to an immense extent, and constitute in part the basis of many islands, within the China Seas, and in the Pacifi c Oceane Thus to rear a stupendous fabric f rom the very depths of the ocean, and some fe e t a b ove its surface, is a task which might well_ a p pa l t h e most powerful and civilized is performed with ease by an ins e ct sma ll, an d to planned e odf the anlulmaei:opueasriannscteasnceswhi c i zi hel pl e s s andtrianl co s us, He r o e f the tl) infinite e' wisdom "'e meet whh another i has histo r y I lt affords ib universal creation, and watched over the formation of every one of the parts of this truly stupendous whole. In preparing their own habitations, in sects prepare a future abode for man. When the coral reef is once raised above the reach of the tide, and is thus secured from the inroads of the sea, the insect leaves its labours in this direction, and now extends the mass it has raised laterally. Sea-weeds are thrown upon the bale and barren mass which decaying, and aided soon after by biterns,form the ground-work of future vegitation. Mosses succeed, birds are attracted ; manure and seeds are brought at the same time, and by the same individuals,and at length,in process of time, a bed of vegetable mould is formed, which is capable of producing larger plants. This simple causes that spread fertility and life throughout the earth employ to enlarge the land, and to prepare a place upon which 018.11 may fix his re sidence. A. P. LORD BYRON. On Thursday the remains of his Lordship ar rived at the Nore, from Greece, in a vessel chartered for the pur pose; and the intelligence being given to his Lordship's Executors, they immediately repaired to the place to take the charge of it, but to prevent any demur, from wantof legal autho rity to receive it, they previously proved his Lordship's will.— This important document bears the date of 29th July, 1815, just six months after his Lordship's marriage with the Heiress of the houses of Milbanke and Noel, and when his Lady was enceinte of his only issue. He devises certain real estates at Rochdale and elsewhere, to his friends, John Cam Hobhouse, late of Trinity College, Cambridge, Esq., and John Hanson, of Chancery-lane, London, Esq., in t rust , f or sa l e, and the money arising therefrom, together with such part of his other property, as .was not settled by his marriage -settle ment, on Lady Byron and her children, he directs to be in trust for his only sister the Honourable Augusta Mary Leigh, for her life, for her own separate and exclusive benefit, anti, after her decease, the principal to go to her children, of which there are eight. And his Lordship declares that he made such provision for his sister and her children, in consequence of his dear wife, Lady Byron, and any children he might have, being otherwise amply provided for. His Lordship ap. points Mr. Hobhouse and .Mr. Hanson his Executors, to each of whom he bequeaths a legacy of one thousand pounds. There is also a short codicil, accompanying the Will, made in Nov. 1810, when he was at Venice, providing for a certain object, but which has by subsequent events becomeinoperative. The property which will thus pass to Mrs. Leigh and her nu. merous family, ex c l us i ve o f t h e l arge revenue which must ulti. mately arise from his great works, will be very considerable. Lady Byron, we have authority to state, has most liberally be stowed her jointure of 2,0001. a-year, which she took out of his Lordship's property underhis marriage settlement, to Captain George Anson Byron, of the Royal Navy, who succeeds to the family honours—a proof, at least, that his Lordship calculated justly on her Ladyship's approval of his own dispositions to the female branch of his family equally unprovided for.— (Morning Chronicle.) It is reported on the Continent, that Marshal LAURISTON has bought the Journal de Paris, for 600,000 francs, about 20,0001. sterling. The house now erecting in Spring Gardens, adjoining the Earl of PEMBUOKOS, for Mr. Secre tary PEEL, when complete, will present one of the grandest edifices in town. A noble picture gallery is to be appended to the mans i on , w h ere the choice specimens of ancient and modorn art, already collected by Mr. PEEL at an enormous ex pence, are to be deposited.

W e have received the Paris Papers of Wed nesday and the Etoile of Thursday, and have given extracts from them in a preceding column. The most important feature of their contents is a direct contradiction, by the Etoile, of the ru moured changes in the French Ministry, and par ticularly of the alleged resignation of the Baron de DAMAS as Minister at War. This fully con• firms the positive contradiction of the rumours which was given in Tim SUN of Thursday, anti cipating the French Ministerial Journal by two posts. The Etoile says, that, according to the false rumours in circulation, " It is not only the Minister of War, but several others that have tendered their resignations;" and then, after noticing another ground lebs report, it adds, 44 We shall reply to the first insinuation, (as We did yesterday, as far as the Minister of War was concerned, that is,) the fact is false !"--This, therefore, in another instance of the priority and accuracy of our foreign intelligence, respecting important political questions. It is said that the King of PORTUGAL has apm plied to this country for the aid of a military force for the maintenance of his authority ; and we have seen some very inconclusive reasoning put forth, in order to induce our Government to re.. fuse compliance with the request. Our Readers will recollect that as soon as it was known that the British Commander in the Tagus had written home for a naval reinforcement (at the time of Don MiavEr.'s rebellious attempt to seize the sovereign power), we expressed a hope that Ministers would immediately order additional ships of war to proceed to the Lisbon station, --a hope which we had the satisfaction to learn Wag promptly realized. We now venture to say that if it be true that Portugal has applied for 1 1 British military force, it ought unhesitatingly 0 3 be granted. If England will not give efficient support to the Spanish Monarchy, we may rest assured that France will ! The sending out of British force to support the King of PORTUGAG I at his request, would not be an interfereuro for the purpose of altering or overt h row ing the G o vernment of his do tn i o i oni (as wa s the case with the French invasion of Spain and the Austrian occupation of Naples ; bat would be with the view of protecting the Government and the best interests o f For.' tugal from the tw o-fold perils to which they are exposed from foreign intrigue and domestic fanaticism and treason. Such a proceeding 15 perfectly consistent with the acknowledged prin ciples of international law ; and could only be deemed censurable if the laws of Portugal herself prohibited the calling in of foreign troops o% pretext or on any emergency for the maintenance of the public tranquillity.
