FRENCH PNVERS. The Non-Official part of thf ! _47oniteur contains -the Report made to the Chamber of Peers by the Marquess de Pastoret, in the name of a Special Committee, appointed to examine the project for the total and septennial renewal of the Chamber of Deputies, in the Sitting of A pril, 1822.—This Report fills nearly eight closely printed columns. The Etoile, dated Wednesday, gives the fol lowing analysis of it :—The Committee has ex amined this project under two principal points of -view, the integral renewal and the septennial duration. After discussing these two questions, the Committee has examined another of a higher nature, with respect to the Constitutional Charter. The defenders of the partial renewal say, that liberty is better preserved by frequent elections. The defenders of the integral renewal answer, that it is the only means that can shew the desire and the wish of the whole nati on . Af ter ma turely examining and discussing these two opi nions, the Committee has thought that the inte gral renewal was to be preferred. It has not founded its decision merely on the motives that have just been mentioned, it has considered the question in higher and more important lights— the enactment of the laws, the stability of insti tutioni, the advantages which would result from it to the Government of the King, to the public repose, and the happiness of the French. For the enactment of the laws.—With a partial renewal, it will be difficult to attain the neces sary improvements in the Legislation. The stability of the laws and institutions.—ln- Tstitntions should be adapted to the character of - e,e people that receive them, and the perma -eence of public bodies, or their longer duration, -tablishes better the fixedness of doctrines, and the permanency of the laws ; besides, the Go vernment is freer in its means, it is stronger when it has around it for several years those with ;whom, or in whose presence, it can discuss the great interests of the state. By a partial renewal, the public administration, less sure of the future situation in which new elec. tions may place it, loses its activity because it loses its confidence in its own duration. After maturely considering these two questions, the Noble Marquess quoted the example of Eng land, which, a century ago, adopted a bill which has so much analogy with the project of law now laid before the Chamber. • Coming to the strongest objection, that of the Charter, M. de Pastoret demonstrated, that there are iu that constitutonal act regulatory articles. ne concluded by declaring that the Committee was unanimously of opinion that the projects hould ibe adopted. The Doife states that his Excellency the Mi nister of War is having comparative trials made xt Toelonse, Douay, Metz, and Strasburg, he t ween the English, French, and modified Eng lish system of artillery, with the view of adopt ing that which shall appear to produce the greatest advantage in war.

[The French Papers are chiefly filled with accounts of the discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on Monday, on the pro j ec• fo- reducin.• the Rentes. M. Bordeau spoke against , trio measure, and implored the Ministry not to compromise the prosperity and happiness of France by financial projects con trary to good faith.—M. de Louvigny defended the measure as Lot being contrary to good faith, and as tending still further to therease the prosperity of France.—M. Sanlot-Baguenault made a long speech against the law, saying it would augment the amount of the capital of the national debt.—M. Pavy supported tie law, anti contended, that circumstances could never be snore favourable than at present for carrying it into execution. Gen. Thiars was against the law, because it was unjust, im moral, and. mipolitic.—M. Syrceys de Mayrenhac supported the ptoject as Just, useful, tending to diminish the interest of woncy, and to maintain public credit.—M. Leclerc de Beau. lieu'opposed the project, and M. Ricard (of the Department of kto•Ate Garonne) supported it. All the speeches were ordered ttl he printed. .The discussion was to be continued on Tuesday, and would not close, it was expected, till Thursday.] TUE GREEKS (EXTIIACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.) fr tt i ESTE, A Pit Ir, 6. [,otters from Corfu, of the middle of March, say, that fresh instructions are expected from London, relative to various important subjects connected with the relations with the Greeks. It is generally believed that these instructions will be favourable to the Greek cause. according to these same letters, the English ships of war, sta.. tipned in the lonian seas, havebeenauthorized to seize on armed Algerinc vessels, even those which bear the Ottoman flag. By accounts equally worthy of credit, Prevesa and Vonezza are still garrisoned by the Turks. Constantine Bozzaris threat ened those places when coming from Vrachori ; he had passed thAspropolamo to advance along the right bank of the river; but he continued his march along the east side of the Gulf of A rta, by Viccha and Coprena. Bozzaris, surrounded by some AliJanians, has taken possession of Arta ; but his troops are not se,icicutly numerous to allow hint to undertake any bold en enterpriu._ _ _ _ Uri the left bank of the Aspropolamo some Greek detach ments have pushed to Rontina and Pekelos, where they have liked themselves. This position will be of great importance to them, as soon as - they have commenced offensive operations against Tbessaly. But they cannot do this so long as LThea is nut conquered. nor Patras and Lepanto taken. (Here again we bave,'unhappily, a contradiction of the. Allgrfanthic Zeilung, whin h has announced that both these places were taken.) Diamante, ~ v;io was engaged, first in the north part of Negro pont,.aid afterwards in the Peninsula of Cassandra, is again at 010, ‘.flicre the Greeks have been for some time employed in tt: aking entrenchments. The Turkish corps, which observes them, ilas fallen back as far as Valestina. All the inhabitants of the mountains between Pialamona and Alessona are under r - ein, and ready to make a diversion in favour of the Greeks.— The Turks have not yet dared to attack them. AUGSBURG, APRIL 7.—(Private Correspond ence.)—Some of our politicians fear that the ob atinacy of the Divan in' not complying with the demands of Russia, conformably with the stipu lations of the Treaty of Bucharest, is to be as cribed to a Convention said to have been con cluded in 1522, by which Austria and England are stated to have guaranteed the integrity of the Ottoman empire, and that therefore Russia can not make war on the Porte without the consent or the participation Of these two Powers. Intel ligence has been received that the English Ad mirel.has required of the Regencies of Tunis and Tripoli what part they mean to take in the pre sent state .of -hostility between England and Al giers. Their answer has been very simple—they hate cl.ciared that the Ley of Algiers, not hav ing consulted them when he insulted the English Constilohey would not interfere in the matter, and consequently, maintain a . fitrict neu tralify• r itlis resolution is the more remarkable, . :4 s secret agents from Constantinople brought positive orders from the• Sultan to assist the Rogency of Algiers with all their power in .the :wiliest in wi:ich it is-engaged. GREEK LITERATURE. A HISTORY of GREEK PROFANE LITERATURE, from its origin to the taking of Constantinople, by M. SCIIOET.I., has been recently published at Paris, and has deservedly obtained much praise. The history of the literature of various nations is a subject worthy of interesting the most ele vated minds, and capable of alarming the most laborious talents. •It offers at the same time more attractions and -greater difficulties, thae the history of laws and institutions ;—morn attractions, because it takes us into those ethereal regions in which, far from the mists Of stormy politics, taste, sentiment, and genius reign,— greater dif f iculties, because it carries us out of the beaten tracks of history in search of those facts, frequently very obscure or very doubtful, which mark the d eve l o p emen t, th e maturity, and the decrepitude, of the literary genius of a nation. — What patience and judgment are required to discover and collect so many various facts, scat tered through b o ok s o f th e most opposite kinds! What a power of mind to combine their results! What philosophical impartiality to appreciate the genius of nations under the divers costumes in which they are invested ! He who should have received from -Heaven these triple gifts, would still have prejudices to overcome if he attempt e d to delineate th e hi s t or y o f modern literature, for it is the most delicate point of national vanities. Italy, Spain, France, England, Germany, ar e in this respect like five beautiful women, who, as sembled iu a ball-room, treat one another with great politeness, bet who, each in the circle of her admirers, requires that it should be admit ted, not only that she is handsome, all perfec tion, and divine, but also that her neighbour has some blemishes on her face, defects in her shape, is dressed in bad taste, and rather aukward in her carriage. All these hall-room dialogues hare precisely the same degree of impartiality, justice, and authority as the literary opinions of one na tion on another. It would he absurd inf , leed to attempt to harmonize them ! But let us speak of Greek literature and Roman literature, which now only live in books. We may give the apple to which we please, without exposing ourselves to much peril ; or we may even cut it ioto two. We shall not adopt the latter course, but shall give it quite entire to Greece. - We ought, however, to understand each other as to the point of view on which we wish to make the comparison. Is it the character quite entire of the literature of these two nations which Aso wish to compare, by bringing together in a single picture, the whole literary life of the two nations who produced them ? Or is it our wish to cow. pare the merit of the works composing them, kind by kind, and age by age ? Under the last point of view, the Romans of the age of Augus tus and Trajan may for an instamt seem to bear away the palm. A 11 G recce has nothing comparable to the great political views of Cicero, the majesty of Livy, the profoundness of Tacitus, and the exquisite taste of Virgil. But we consider the literary activity of a nation under a more elevated point of view ; namely, what is . the mass of ge nius, wit, and talent that a nation has developed in the whole of her. writings. Here the Romans are evidently inferior. Some superior minds,many happy imitators, two centuries of literary-emu lation, concentrated in the bosom of a rich and voluptuous capital, all these are not equivalent to that universal activity of a national genius which, during more than a thousand years, in the bosom of twenty small republics, neither rich nor power ful, and in the midst of popular commotions, wars, and disasters, never ceased to produce original works, models in every kind, or at least productions containing the germs of the most beautiful works of succeeding ages. This crea tive genius, which animates Hellenic literature, even in its most licentious flights, combines in sa cred as well as profane writings, an elevation of sentiment, a depth of thought, and a beauty of expression, such as the human mind left to itself has never attained among any other people.-- The Hellenic literary genius is in some degree represented materially by the genius of the artists of Greece; it seems to assume by turns the ce lestial forms of Apollo or Venus, the features of a philosopher, or those of a wrestler, the graces of a nymph, or the fantastic attractions of a young satyr. It is the complete developement of all the faculties of the mind ; it is the first known type of a society of intelligences united to think, to write, to • enjoy the , productions of genius, and to create for itself a spiritual life, in dependent of its civil and political existence.— The Greeks are a literary nation ; the Romans are only a political nation, who one day resolved on having a literature. There is another point of view under which the moral philosopher ought to consider the his tory of Greek literature: it is that personal in dependence which, during a series of centuries, gave to the writers of Greece a peculiar and unique character in the annals of the human race. That free.individuality..raised above the influence of riches, of governments, and even of the laws, can only exist in small States, united by a common language, and yet independent of one another ; where, consequently, the power of the Government was but slightly preponderant over personal power, because the individual found twenty asylums against one persecution, and could, according to the measure of his ta lents, influence, by the same speech, twenty dif where riches, then not ver y abun ferent people ; dant, were more than balanced in popular esti mation by the talents of the mind, by courage, and even by the simple gift of address and beau ty ; where the plainest citizen, by his merit, his character, and ptiblic favour, might acquire a moral power almost unlimited ; where, in short, the names of hero, sage, and poet, were the most brilliant and the most esteemed titles. Such was the social condition of Greece before Alexander. Add, moreover, to the effect of these institutions, or rather of similar political principles, the effect of climate and manners ; recollect also those in numerable public festivals which brought to gether the whole nation in the same enjoyments, that habit of passing. three parts of their lives under the porticos and in gardens, their public places, the small extent and the little luxury of their private dwellings, the frugality of their re pasts, the simplicity of their clothing, the seclu sion of w or.len which deprived Athenian society of any resemblance to the conversations in mo dern saloons, and you will feel that a Grey:. citizen must have been a singular medley of knight and monk, of princ e an d d emoc r a t ; a medley which neither the efforts of the legis lator nor the course of events can ever again completely produce. The celebrated men of genius of Rome, with as great powers, grandeur of mind, and virtues as the Greeks, were in a very ditierent social posi tion. A republic better constituted than any of those of Greece for its own preservation and Rome never granted to her cid tizens an individual liberty comparable to that enjoyed by the Greeks. Ail its internal relations were fixed by the power of political corporations, of dominant families (Plebeian as well as Patri cian), of magistrates, each sovereigns in his own quarter, and the institutions of a national wor ship connected with all the civil institutions. It was the R e public of Sparta on a large scale, and with more ambitious combinations. Thus Rome, as long as she really continued herself, was scarcely more than Sparta the friend of Poets and Philosophers. This austere, proud, and con queror Republic fell under the yoke of a series. of military dictatorships, which we are pleased to call the Empire; and almost at the very mo ment when national liberty disappeared, indivi dual liberty and even individual licentiousness chewed themselves. Therefore, the necessary conditions which world enable Rome to produce men of genius as independaut and original as Greece existed only a few moments to disappear for ever. The greatest men of genius of Rome felt that they did not breathe in their country the literary air of Greece. Fatigued with the storms which raged in the Senate as in the Forum, Cicero was con stantly thinking of 'the groves of the Academy where he passed the only serene days of his life ; it is in those moments when these recollections inspired hint that, forgetting the interests of iris party, his own disquietudes and vanity, he shows himself a sublime Philosopher and an amiable man. In vain did Augustus attempt to repro. duce around him the literary and philosophical Court of Pericles; the poet of the him self, loaded with favours, went in search of the most sublime inspirations under the sky- of Homer and Theocritus. It is true that the Greeks, after they be:•an►e subjects of a great empire, soon lost their originality and independence of mind, but some recollections still survived, anti those remi niscences were enough to invest Plutarch with charms far superior to those of all the Roman Biographers. This free and original spirit filled also the lives of the Greeks with interesting situations, lively and piquant traits, and even amusing anecdotes. The history of Greek Literature is therefore in every respect a subject as attractive as it is in structive and fertile : but the ditf►culties wl►ich surround it are far above the ideas generally en tertained of them. The few observations which we have just made ou the moral and literary cha racter of the Greeks, ought to convince us how difficult it. is for a modern to put himself in the place of one of those Poets, who protnenaded their indigence and their immortal genius from Athens to Thebes, or fron► the Palace of Ulysses to the Palace of Memelaus, singing before a rustic people, and at the boisterous feasts of warriors, the great exploits then recent of their national history. The author of this History modestly says in hhis preface, that he shall have attained ids ob ject, if competent judges find that he has " se lected his materials with judgment, i❑ such a manner that nothing useful has been rejected, and nothing superfluous received ; that he has classed them in . a methodical manner, and so arranged them, that the selections throw light upon one another ; in short, that lie has pre sented the whole with simplicity and clearnes.." We consider this History of Greek Literature as one of the most useful and best edited works that have lately appeared ; and competent judges whom we have consulted are of opinion that M. Schoell - has completely performed the task which he has undertaken ; and, moreover, that he lies always appreciated with good taste a sound and impartial judgtnent, the questions in dispute among the learned upon several points of the literary history of Greece. It may perhaps be asked, - of what utility is this eternal study of the minute difficulties per ceived by critics in the writings of the Greeks We are almost of their opinion with respect to those slight variations and grammatical subtle ties of which some Hellenists think so much ; but on the other hand we must observe,that not only do new manuscripts occasionally find their way out of the dust of liberaries, but that even a common stone, covered with an inscription, may fre quently put us in possession of unknow❑ facts, which throw light on the history of manners, and consequently on that of literature. The Greeks engraved on marble their treaties of alliance and of peace, their municipal affairs, their domestic rejoicings and calamities, and even memoranda of their friendly visits. Ancient Greece resem bles 'an immense engrave! , book ; and which ever leaf we turn, w e read some fragment of public or private history. There is therefore always occasion for new observations. FUNERAL OF Ma. SMITH, DEMERARA.—OD the evening before his interment Mrs. Smult re ceived a message from the Govcallon, informing her that the funeral must take place at four in the morning, and that neither she nor her friend Mrs. ELLIOTT would h e allowed to . follow the corpse to the grave. Mr. S3IITII was exceedingly distressed by this mandate, and, though not per mitted to follow her husband to the grave, she rose at three, and accompanied by Mrs. ELLIOTT, and conducted by a slave with a lantern, pro ceeded to the burial place to meet the corpse.— The usual service was read by the Rev. A usys. It is easier to conceive than to express what a heart-rending scene this must have proved to the afflicted widow. We hear that Mrs. SMITH and Mrs. ELLIOTT arrived in England a few days ago.—(New Times.) PRICE 0 Tll IS DAY AT HALF , Rank Stoe!ti 2441 243.; 3 per Cent. Bed. •sti • 3 per Cent. Cons.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. Our Express this morning has brought us only a private letter, which contains no political intelligence. The French Renles on Wednesday were 103 f. and firm, nor was there any expecte. tion of a considerable fluctuation. Spanish Bonds were at 19, and looking up. In a preceding column we have given the only extracts from the foreign Journals which possess any interest. Our Readers will see that the Special Committee of the Chamber of Peers has reported in favour of the project for the integral and septennial renewal of lhic Chamber of De puties. CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Cousols opened this morning at NH, at which price they have kept steady bp to this hour. For Money they are 9041 5 , with little doing. Fox.ErGN RIARKET.—Very little doing in the above Market this morning. A report of the French squadron at Rio Janeiro still causes some depression in the South American Securi ties, although it is not credited, to the extent al leged, by th e well informed. W e know, from undoubted authority, that Lord COCHRANE is on his nay to this country. This determination of his Lordship, we believe, has been hastened by his Imperial Bra zilian AIAJusTy withholding the prize money due to the brave tars who so gallantly cleared the coast of his enemies. This also proves, in no small de gree, that his MAJEsTz - was aware of the arrival of a powerful French naval aid, or he would scarcely have ventured to incur the displeasure of so brave and dauntless a commander, and of a crew (principally English) devoted to his service. A Contemporary is pleased to find fault with the mode which the Brazilian Commissioners have determined to adopt in contracting the Loan now under negociation. It certainly was originally intended that the biddings of the dif ferent parties should be all opened at once in the presence of the persons offering for the con tract, and that that offer, which was found on examination• to be the highest, should be ac cepted. This metl►od of proceeding, however, has been since abandoned, as it was found that numerous parties, many of whom were not of sufficient respectability, were determined to offer biddings for the loan, and that under the in tended arrangement, therefore, it was possible that sltne very objectionable person might become en titled to the contract. It is very true, that the Loans contracted by our own Government were always openly bid for, but it is not less true that no improper parties ever thought of presuming to approach a CIfANCELLOa of the English Ex- CHEQUER with propositions with which either his character or his means were incompatible. The parties making offers were al.ays, it is notori ous, of the highest respectabilit y and perfectly well known to the Governrri n t. Th e case is very different as respects 'he Brazilian Commissioners ; and those Gentler vn , therefore, have very properly determined on reserv ing- to themselves the right of exercising the discretion, independently of any cmsideratioa of the mere terms of the biddings, o, selecting that offer which, under all the circumstances,, may appear to them to be the most eligible. —We are informed that the zca/ of one of the parties desiring to contract for the Brazilian loan,—a party well known 'a the City' ,—made him so far forget the coiduct due to the Representatives of the Bratiliaa Governmeitt, as to induce him to offer a " lain something" (the power of which he had probably ascertained from past experience) a, a consideration for a prefer ence. In this instance, however, the proposal was indignantly rejected. In answer to inquiries which have been made in the proper quarter, respecting the Spanish dividend which becomes due to-►norrow, it has been stated that no instructions have been re ceived from the Spanish Government." FEn- DINAND VII., therefore, persists in refusing to acknowledge a debt contracted under his own royal signature ; and unless the future ne cessities of his kingdom, or the utter subversion of his authority, by another and more successful revolution, shall afford to the unfortunate holders of Spanish Bonds some chance of obtaining justice, we fear that they must submit to the ruin with which they are threatened by an unprincipled act of power. No further information has as yet transpired respecting the important and very serious intel ligence yesterday received from Rio de Janeiro. Government, however, are understood to have re ceived dispatches by the ship Courier, and as Par liament re-assembles on INlontlay, questions will probably be put to Ministers for the purpose of eliciting such explanations as may enable the Public to form an estimate of the real views of France, in making a naval demonstration of so formidable a nature in the Brazils. A Morn ing- Paper, which has been distinguished for its consistent attachment to the cause of South Ame rican independence, and for the confidence with which it has hitherto maintained that there was nothing to justify the slightest degree of appre hension for the security of the new States, now says that it has been for some titne in possessiiin of information relative to the designs of France on South America, which, however, it did not feel itself , warranted to publish, in consequence of the ruinous influence it-might have on the for- . . tunes of individuals, until the news from the Brazils has rendered all further delicacy unne cessary. Our Readers are aware that we also have for a l6hg time been in possession of unfa vourable information, the purport of which, how ever, we have never hesitated to state, from a conviction that the ruinous consequences of de lusion upon so important a subject could only be - aggravated by the concealment of the truth. The Morning Paper referred to goes on to say, " While we admit that we are at a loss to explain on any ra.. tional principle, the views against South America, of which the French Ministers are accused, after this intelligence from Brazil, we conceive ourselves at liberty to lay before our Readers part of the communication to which we alluded in the outset of this article. " The following arc the principal measures which have been, agreed on, and of which the execution is pursued with the greatest activity : " 4 That availing themselves of the declaration of the Cabi net of St. James, which delays the recognition of the indepen dence of the Insurgent States of South America, till it is con vinced of the firm determination of the inhabitants of these States to preserve and defend their existing Governments, they will adopt all suitable means for giving to the Royalist party in America the power of protesting energetically against that disposition, enabling it to rise on difierent points, to gain over the inclinations of the soldiers, and to scatter alarm among ti e influential Members of the different Legislative Assemblies. " That by these underhand means, they will easily keep up the spirit of discord which agitates the country. " "Fhat they will take advantage of all the suce , -sslvt move ments which shall take place in consequence of this combi- nation. " And that at last the action of the diplomatic agents will have a decisive influence when the events shall have arrived at their point of maturity.' " It is on this basis that the Spanish Cabinet is definitively connected with France and Russia, and the plan of operation is pursued without interruption since the signature of the treaty. In order not to awaken suspicion, the agents of corruption have all been directed towards the United States, and from thence have repaired to their respective destinations. On the other hand, the French Covemment, under the pretence of securing the tranquillity of its West Indian Colonies, is incessantly transporting troops thither. " The following is a summary statement of those which have been sent off, and of the places of embarkation : " Six Colonial - Battalions, at their full compliment of M)0 men each, embarked from the Isle of Rile and Oleron ; three complete regiments of infantry of the line embarked at Brest ; field equipages, officer?of artillery and engineers were directed on Guadaloupe and :Martinique, and the expedition which is preparing at Cadiz will be re-inforced by,Genoese and Italian seamen, which will serve as a screen for the embarkation of 1 fr esh tiyed atiou l ‘, pi 11 lilit 4er 0 agita ,With mine Of , 1111 lic e Ili, Pat il S 1 it ' E.
