FRENCH PAPERS. [From the Courier Francais of Friday.] FARIS, JAW. 27. The Colonial Board formed by the Minister of Marine has adopted a project for the re-organizatin of the Isle of Bourbon ; it is doubtless the result of the work set on foot for the generth amelioration of the civil and judicial administration of the Co lonies. It is promised by the Charterthat those distant posses sions should be governed by laws, and not by simple regula tions ; there must therefore he g Colonial Legislature. Nothing better can be adopted than the system established in that respect established in that respect in the English Colonies. MADIUD, JAY. 17. in the short space of five days several couriers and expresses, corn ing from Paris, have arrived in our capital. Even yesterday, the Chargé d'Affaires to our Court, M. Bois le Comte, received an estraordinary courier, who immediately departed for Lisbon. Pine the arrival of these couriers the Ministers have held ft uncils, which have not been discontinued up to this day. With the view of distracting public attention, 20 different versions have Teen circulated of what so exclusively occupies our Ministry, and the uncertainty of the state of affairs contributed to render them all more absurd one than another. But the truth soon madeita way, and it is now known in such a manner that it cannot be doubted, that the business of the Council is on the declaration of England that she is resolved to recognise the new states of South America, a declaration which you must have known long before us. The step taken by the Cabinet of St. James's has completely ruined the projects of our Government, which still Battered itself with the hope of subduing the Independents, and who, quite recently, as you may have seen by my preceding Setters, was occupied with the chimerical rroject of-sending a grand expedition to America. ( From the Constitutionnel of Friday.) MADRID, JAY: i 7. The Government has received the news of the acknowledge- ment of the Independence of the Americans with its usual stoicism. The news has not yet taken air, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs has begged those persons who know it to - keep the most profound silence =al an answ,:r is received from the Sovereigns of the Holy Alliance, - to whom notes of com plaint have been sent, which is the only resource of the weak. In the mean time the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister of War, have received some alleviation for this reverse of for tune, in seeing themselves honoured- with the grand ribbon of the Legion of Honour. _ k lye per Cents. opened at 103 f. 20c., and closed at IGlif.

TIIE GREEKS. ( From the £toile of Sat , trday.) PARIS JAN. 23. Letters from Constantinople of the 13th give accounts from Syra of the Bth, which speak of the two factions in the Morea. Coiocotroni, Ypsilanti, Varvaki, and Petro Bey, have arm ed 6,000 men, and fought the army of the Government, said to be 15,000. These four Chiefs have rebelled, they say, because their adversaries had sacrificed their country to Eng,- laud, had allowed that Power, of a different religion, to inter- Lre in all their affairs, and had borrowed money at high in t&•rest, while Varvaki engaged in writing to furnish the same sums. The two parties call each other Russian aid English. Later accounts say, that Colocotroni being defeated and obliged to retreat to the mountain of Arka, saw all his troops desert his cause and his standard. In this extremity he wrote to the Greek Government— _ _ " I believed the cause I defended to be the best ; I thought, in fighting for it, to serve my country, and to obey the decrees of El eaven : the unhappy death of my two sons is a sufficient proof of my error. " I beg the Greek Government to see in me only a true pa triot misled by love of his country. I desire to return to the condition of an obedient and faithful citizen, and I swear to unite my efforts and my means for the union and prosperity of my country, as my most ardent wishes have been for her alone:" It is not known what answer the Greek Senate had returned to this submission of the rebel Chief._ 15th.—To-day there was a Council at the Porte, to provide, it is said, for the pay of 40,0410 Albanians, whom the Govern ment intends to send against the Morea. For some days past a new agitation is observed among the Janissaries ; those that were at Negropont and Athens have been severely reprimanded for their want of discipline and their robberies. It was affirmed at Napoli di Romania, that, in the action off Candia, Ibrahim Paella would have been burnt but for 27 (;:is Tots on board his ship, whose courage and address saved hint. Each has received 1,000 piastres; all their property in -11!;... Isle of Cassos is restored to them, with the exemption from taxes for ever. ( From the Con.stitutionnel. CORFU, DEC.. 2.5. It cannot be denied, and it would have been miraculous had it been otherwise, that Greece has internally had numerous disorders, to which none but feeble repressive means had been opposed. One of the first cares of the new Government has been to seek an afficacious remedy for those evils which com promised internal tranquillity, and which might have become fatal to the cause of independence. It has, in consequence, published the following Decree : " The Provisional Government of Greece, thinking it to be its duty to be mindful of the interests of the nation, and of the internal and external tranquillity of the state, has resolved, after mature consideration, to adopt a special military law to prevent, for the future, any irregularity in the conduct of the 4)fficers or soldiers of the Greek army. It has in consequence decreed, and loth decree as follows : " Art. I.—Every military Chief, from the commanders in chief down to the officers of the lcrwest degree, having separate inniands, who, after having received orders to march against tt:e enemy, shall abandon his post, or shall not punctually obey the orders which have been transmitted to him, shall be declared unworthy of being entrusted.with any command in future. " 2. Every officer having received orders to put himself at the heart of a division under the command of a superior officer, who shall abandon his post without the authority of his Commander, shall be also deprived of all command for the future. " 3. Every officer who, abandoning his post, -shall go about the neighbouring towns or villages, without the express order • or permission of his superior, shall not have the right to claim • his pay, and shall be accounted unworthy to occupy any post. " 4. Every officer who shall enlist a greater number of sol diers than shall have been prescribed him, shall do it at his own east. " 5.. Every officer or other person - whatever who shall levy soldiers without the authority of Government, shall be regarded as a disturber of good order,-and a pest to society. " 6. Every soldier who shall follow a military chief or any other person whatever, not authorized by Government, shall not be able to claim either pay or provision. " 7. Any man of colour, invested with military or civil authority, shall not be able, after the publication of these presents, to present himself in the place - or seat of Govern. ment without the authority of the Government itself. £l. l'he competent authorities are charged to cause this de eree.to be posted up and published.

( From the Journal d. s Debate.) SMYRNA, DEC. 20. The Austrian Admiral Accarti- sailed, with•the flag-ship La Bellone which he commanded, to Napoli de'Romania, to re wire from the Gree k Government indemnities, the j ustice of which have been acknowledged ; but the payment being always evaded, and fatigued with these interminable delays, the Admiral 3:immoned the Greek Government to satisfy him in 4b hours, inf•rrning them that, unless they did, he should indemnify himself by seizing the first Greek armament lie might meet.— This term being expired, and not having received any satisfac , Lion, M. Accarti immediately manned two boats to make prize of a vessel which happened to be, there. The'&reeks fired on the Austrians, and dangerously wounded two sailors ; but the others boarded, and took possession of The vessel, whose crew saved themselves by flight to shore. The Austrians carried off the vessel; but as this pledge was far from being equal to the worth of the indemnities due by the Greeks, M. Accarti pro ' visionally took possession of •a Greek brio. of War, after having disembark e d a ll the crew ' • and it is with these two prizes that .we have seen the Admiral enter the port of Smyrna.

We are happy to observe that the spirit of be nevolence is still active among the inhabitants of the Metropolis, though the multitude of new Companies have given so specu lative a complexion to the times. As a proof of this, we beg to call the attention of our readers to an advertisement in our Paper of this day, from the National Guardian Institution, esta blished, it appears, on principles free from the alloy of traffic, and motives purely charitable,—the laudable object of its sup porters being -to improve the condition of a large body of 'their fellow-creatures in the humbler walks of life. Society is divided into two great classes—employers anti ser vants; thelcondition of the latter has long called for the bene volent interference of the former. In sickness and misery, do mestic servants (particularly females) are too often deserted, and prostitution and crime are resorted to for the supply of pre sent necessity, when a little timely help and protection in the season of need and temptation would save them from min.:, Such protection- and aid it is the intention of the Institution to afford, and also to place the destitute and deserving servant in a proper asylum when rendered unfit by years or infirmity for further servitude. Among the leading features of the Institution, every sub scriber of one guinea annually may call upon the establishment to prosecute in all cases of robbery by servants ; and all servants• recommended by the Institution will be protected from illegal conduct of employers. Medical men are attached to the esta blishment, to whose advice the servants of subscribers will be entitled; and every judicious measure has been taken to carry the charitable plans of the institution into the most active and beneficial effect ; and we entertain no doubt, as the domestic. comfort of every family so much depend, on good servants, that' the Institution will be most liberally supported, and become one , of the most extensive charities in this country.

THE SUN. SOLEM QUI. I)ICLfIE FALSUJI AUDI AT LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JAN. 31, 1825. The most interesting information in the Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday relates to the affairs of• Greece, which we have given in another column. It appears to be quite confirmed that the Egyptian fleet, after its defeat off' Candia, was again beaten in the Cretan Sea, with a greater loss than .on the former occasion, a►:d that Ica:trim PACHA, With the remains of his fleet, %vas _pursued by the victorious Greeks to Alexan dela. The vessels captured by the G reeks contained a large quantity of provisionsdestined for the forti fied places in Candia occupied by the Egyptian troops, and the loss of these supplies will be se verely felt, as it is well known that the troops in those fortresses are suffering for want of provi sions. The campaign of 1524 may now be con sidered as at an end, in the course of which the Greeks of the present day have displayed an ability, courage, and intrepidity equal to any re corded in the annals of ancient Greece. In this cam paign the Alahometans of Asia and Africa were united to those of Europe to stifle the Greek Revo lution : three hundred sail, composed of the navies of Egypt and Barbary, and of European trans ports, set out from Alexandria under the soul mend of IBRAHIM PACIIA ; the CAPITAN PAGLIA sailed into the Archipelago witl► more than two hundred sail ; a numerous Asiatic army assembled on the coast opposite Samos; the regular army of Egypt was brought into co-operation ; another army assembled the orders of the Dervisch-Pacha, in the plains of Thessaly ; and yet the whole of this mass of combined forces has only served to procure new triumphs for the Greeks., It is also confirmed by these Papers that the revolt of COLOCOTUONI and other Chieftains has been subdued, and that Greece has nothing to dread from civil discord. I f it be true, there fore, as alleged• in accounts from Constantinople, that the SULTAN means to try the chances of another campaign, we have little doubt that the result %lin be triumphant to G reece,—united as she now is, a►►d possessing superior resources, —and-terminate in the final establish►nent of her indypendence. Brussels Papers to the 30th instant reached us this morning, from which we learn that the re cognition of the new States of South America by this country has been officially communicated to the .Government of the presiding Canton of Swit zerland by Mr. VAUGHAN, the British Plenipo tentiary in Switzerkad, who immediately after wards set out 'for Lucerne, on his return to Eng land by the way of Berne, and through France. A convention has been concluded between His liciLiNuss and the Swiss Cantons for raising a body of swiss Guards for the POPE. Dutch Papers to the 30th and Hamburg!' Papers to the 26th of this month arrivei this morning. It appears by an article from Breslaw that the King of PRUSSIA has convoked the pro vincial assembly for Silesia, Glaz, and Upper. Silesia, to consider subjects of local regulation. The accounts from St. Petersburgh come down to the 12th of this month, and we are glad to announce that scarcely a trace of the late inundations in that capital is now to be seen. The shops and warehouses are a g ain completely furnished and open trade is reviving, the bridges are repaired, the streets cleared, and every thing, in short, is resuming its wonted ap pearance. Provisions are as cheap as they were before the inundation, and the poor are provided for. The following are extracts : BERLIN, JAN. 22. ( Extract of a lcitcr from firmsia dated Jan 8. ) You know that the inundation has not done so much damage in the capital as your JOurnals have related. On the whole, according to the most probable estimate, about 3,000 persons lost their lives, and considerable damage was done to goods and buildings. The Emperor, the Government, and the wealthy inhabitants have behaved so admirably, that many thousand sufferers have received assistance without any delay, and innumerable poor arc better provided for than ever they were before. I am convinced that this inundation has been a real bless ing to St. Petersburgh. It has called forth, as by 1, miracle, the manifestation of so much benevolence and humanity, and con fidence between the higher and lower classes, between the Governors and governed, that on a little consideration we shall not think of placing the bad consequences in any com parison with the good ones. ST. PETE RSBIJ RGII, JAN. 12. From the 25th of December to the 9th inst. 562,021 rubles have been received here for the sufferers.

Madrid Gazettes of the 2Oth instant furnish the following ipecimens of fabricated intelligence from South America, which our on•n accounts from that country, of much more recent date, must convince our Readers to be wholly untrue. It will be seen by our extracts from the French Papers that the determination of the British Go vernment to recognize the new South American States had reached Madrid, and that this wise and politic measure has entirely discomfited any plan that Spain might have had in contemplation, with the secret aid of Foreign Powers, to attempt the recovery of those possessions which formed the most valuable appanage of the Spanish Crown. " The King continues to accompany Prince Maximilian of Saxony to all the public establishments. His Majesty, con sidering; the great age of Don Ignace Martinez de Villela, and tne multitude of signatures he is obliged to give every day, both as President of the Council and of the Camara, has authorised him to sign simply 1. M. de Villela, except when the King hints , 4f signs. " Our last letters from Mexico are of 2d November. At that time the Republicans continued to tear each other to pieces.

" Accounts front Terra Firma say also that the most san guinarya from Callao, Th The Government i r n a e g n e t s s also Guatemalareceiv ed elt dispatchesiap dated the 17th September.* They are of the most satisfactory nature. The junction of the Viceroy and Canterac, and the departure from Lima on the preceding day of a column of cavalry, which marches on the flanks of the rebel Bolivar, drawn into this position by the able manoeuvres of Canterac ; every thing promised a complete triumph to the King's arms. General Ramirez had just taken from the Insurgents 360 pri soners, anus, horses, &c. " In Chili there were such violent commotions that it was impossible but there should be a re-action in that country in less than a year. The faithful Royalists of the soi.disant Republic of Co lombia, imitating the example of the unconquerable Guerillas of the Peninsula who did so much injury to Buonaparte, have organized parties, under the command of Cisneros and Ramirez, which spread terror even to the walls of Caracas. " The Pasturos have levied a considerable corps, which is marching against the Colombians. " We see," says the Gazette of Madrid, " how much we must distrust the lying narratives of certain public journals.— Their object is to delude weak and credulous minds, and to make them believe in the solidity of the Republican loans." * This is the same day that Bolivar's defeat must have taken place.—(Noss the Etude.) Lisbon Papers to the 16th instant were re ceived yesterday. They do not contain any articles of interest except a Royal Decree, published the Bth of January, favouring the trade between Portugal and the countries of Angola and llenguella, by allowing a very considerable reduction on the import and export duties for ten years ; and another Decree to repress the clan, destine and illicit importation of colonial produce into Portugal, of which the follow ing is a copy : DECREE. Taking into my Royal consideration, that the clandestine and illicit importation of colonial produce And nierchandize from Asia and other parts has lately been made in small vessels which were not formerly employed in this traffic, and in ves sels not coming directly from the ports assigned by the laws, to the great injury of my Royal Treasury; and it being my will that the said laws be strictly observed, I hereby ordain— !. The present laws remain in their full vigour, which pro hibit the importation of merchandize and colonial produce front Asia, unless direct in vessels under the Portuguese flag. 2. The importation of these goods is prohibited when the Portuguese ships which bring them are under 110. tons burthen. 3. The Fast Article relates only to goods for consumption, as foreign vessels, above eighty tons burthen, laden with such goods, and coming either from Portuguese ports, or others, may be cleared, trans-shipped, bonded, and re-exported. 4. The second Article is relative to these goods, whatever be their destination ; and every Portuguese vessel of less than eighty tons, which shall enter the ports of these kingdoms, or be found within three leagues of the coast, with such goods, from whatever place they come, shall be confis cated, with its cargo; and the same shall be the case with foreign vessels under eighty tons burthen, which shall be found within the said distance, unless it can be shewn by authenti cated documents that they were bound for foreign ports, and that they have been compelled by circumstances to approach the coasts of these kingdoms. This Decree shall begin to take its full effect within one month and a half front the date of its publication for Portuguese vessels, and three months for foreign vessels. The Authorities whom it concerns will see to the execution of this Decree. Palace of Alfecti, January 2, 1325. (Signed by his Majesty.) We have given this day the report of the first day of the trial on the prosecution of the K The Dublin Slur, which commenced on Tuesday last in the Court of King's Bench, for an alleged libel on the Marquis WELLESLEY. To-morrow we shall give the report of the second day, and on Wednesday that of the last. In the mean time we have to inform our Readers of the result:— " The CHIEF JUSTICE concluded by reading his notes of the evidence, in the course of which his Lordship was three times assisted by John Mayne, Esq., one of the Jurors. The Jury retired at ten minutes before 2 o'clock. At 5 minutes before 3 it was announced that the Jury were coming into the Box. Upon their presenting themselves, their names were called over, when Robert Kinahan, Esq , Foreman, inthrmed the Court that there was not the slightest chance of their coming to an agreement. The Chief Justice sent them back to re consider the evidence. Neither the Attorney-General nor the Solicitor-General were present.
