FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. FARiS, SEPT. 9. 8 . —The yellow fever not only prelails in Catalonia, but it extends to Arragon. It has committed great ravages at Tortosa, Me quinenga, and Fraga. The last town is only two days journey from Saragossa. The authorities take the strictest precautions again,t the progress of this malady, the approach of which has already produced great alarm at Saragogsa, and made se veral families leave the town. Five physicians have been sent by the French Government to Barcelona, to observe the nature of the contagion which prevails there. It is said that more than a hundred medical persons, who were anxious to undertake this perilous service, hrid solicited the Government to be allowed to form part of the mission. Letters from Barcelona, dated the 15th, give the following details : " Our state of health is most alarming.— Within these two or three days there have been great numbers of deaths in the street of Mon cade and two other streets : but the disease bad not appeared in the other quarters of the town Most of the shops are shut, and people leave their houses as little aq possible. For some days past the bulletin of Barcelonetta has stated the deaths at from 20 to 30 per day. All persons not infected have been compelled to leave Bar celonetta. They amounted to 2,000, and have been lodged in the convent of St. Jerome. The Government provides for the expense which the situation of this unhappy country renders neces sary. Every individual who is destitute receives five reals per day." It appears that the fever at Barcelona is not of long duration. The patient is generally car ied off within three hours from the commence ment of the disease. According to the Journal de Lyon of the 24th, letters from Marseilles of the 23d say nothing as to the state of health in that city. A letter from Marseilles of the 9.lst states, that the contagion had been stopped in the La zaretto of that city. The victims up to that day had been only six ; and of the seven sick five were in a state of convalescence. Letters from Lisbon of the 12th state, that commercial vessels had arrived there from dif ferent ports of the Mediterranean, having on board individuals attacked by the yellow fever. They were immediately sent to the Lazaretto of Mahon. A letter from Milan of the sth September ccslrms, it is said, the intelligence of the almost sudden death of the celebrated Bergami.

FP.ANEFOP.T, SEPT. 21.—Many persons enter tain doubts of the continuance of peace since the late events at Bucharest, which prove what the Turkish Government means by an amnesty. We learn by letters from Odessa, of the 2d, that as soon as the Grand Segnior and the Divan were certain that Russia would abandon the Greeks to their own exertions, the persecution of the Christians recommenced, and will no doubt continue until the whole Greek nation are an nihilated. SEPT. 2'2.—The Gazette of Warsaw announces that 9,0,000 Greeks, who had retired through the : Bukowina into Bessarabia, are arrived at their destination. A still greater number, who had passed into Transylvania from Walachia, are also arrived in safety. Advices from Cronstadt, of the 31st August, state that the Turks, dreading a war with Rus- Sili ) have carried off all the provisions in Wala dila, in order that their enemies may not find any means of subsistence in the event of their in vading that province. The peasantry are prohi bited from cultivating their lands, and if found at work are put to death. AUGSBURG, SEPT. 21.—Letters from Con stantinople of the 27th say, that the Greeks will not acknowledge the new Patriarch, because he has been nominated without the consent of the Synod, most of whose members have perished by the daggers of the Turks. There are some Greeks even who assert that the Patriarch is a Jew in disguise. SEPT. 22.—[Extract of a Private Letter.] — We know for certain that the massacre of the Arnauts at Bucharest, in violation of the promise made to them of an amnesty, has excited in Russia, and chiefly among the troops, a general indignation. All the letters from that Empire breathe war, or at least express a desire for the commencement of hostilities against the Turks. LINTZ, SEPT. 16.—[Extract of a Private Let ter.l—The affairs of Turkey seem to occupy en tirely the attention of the Cabinet of Vienna. The Prince de Metternich has frequent interviews with the Ministers of the Great Powers; and some of the latter, who wi s hed to leave our capital for a short time have delayed their departure. We do not think that war will break out between Turkey and Russia; but if it should take place, our cabinet will not declare itself against the Porte. The Grand Signior and the Divan ex press the greatest confidence in our Government. We have not the least motive for war; besides, Au;tria is materi a lly interested in maintaining the Turkish Government, and this feeling has predominated in all her negotiations. It is, therefore, natural she should use every exertion to avert war between Russia and the Porte; and her efforts have, it is said, been successful. PETERSBURG it, SETT. I.—The Emperor and Empress are on the point of quitting their palace at Kammenyostron for that at Karskojezelo. This proves the inaccuracy of the reports which stated his Imperial Majesty had set out for Odessa, on the banks of the Pruth. SEPT. 4.—The Baron de Strogonoff is expected here immediately. Il ANO VER, SEPT. 19.—The regiments of the Guards received their colours yesterday. His Royal Highness addressed the troops on the oc casion, who in reply gave several cheers in ho nour of the Kiug. The troops then marched before his Royal Highness, displaying their new colours. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William of Hesse were present at the ceremony, which attracted a great ,concourse of spectators. MADRID, SEPT. 17.—The King will return to Madrid on the 22d. A courier extraordinary has brought an account of the death of General Arco Aguero, Commander of the Province of Estremadura. He left 13adajos on the 13th, with his Aid-de-camp and some friends, to hunt. His horse having started off with the bit in his teeth, the General wished to alight, but was thrown with his foot entangled in the stirrup, and was killed before any assistance could be offered him. The country has lost in him one of the principal defenders of liberty, and the army one of its bravest officers. He was chief of the staff of Quiroga's army in the isle of Leon. The report on the events of the night of the 20th August is published. It states that General Morino acted on that occasion comformably to military law, and that he did not draw his sabre against the people; that Sub-Lieutenant Sturcio, Chief of the Post St. Martin, did his duty in defending the prisoners entrusted to his charge ; and that Lieut. Mancebo had insulted General Morillo. The report concludes with recommend ing that the result, of the inquiry should be com municated to General Morillo ; that Sub-Lieut. Sturcio should be set at liberty, and Lieutenant Mancebo tried. The Minister of War, in transmitting the re sult of the inquiry to General Morillo, intimated to him that his Majesty was resolved he should immediately re-assume the command of the pro vince. The Captain General of the national ar mies, D. Jose Palafox, has given most honourable testimony in favour of General Morillo. The arrival of the Marquis de Santa-Cruz has given rise to several reports respecting differences which are said to have taken place between the Cabinet of the Thuilleries and the Spanish Go vernment, Immediately after the arrival of this Nobleman there was a Cabinet-council of Minis ters, but nothing has yet transpired on the sub ject of their conferences. An article in the Regulatcur has been de nounced, by the British Charge d'Affaires, as inju rious to his Britannic Majesty. The jury of ac cusation has, however, declared, that there is no ground for a prosecution. The Civil and Military Authorities of Lerida have addressed a letter to General itiego, ex pressing the satisfaction they shall feel at be holding him within their walls, and also the in terest they take in his cause. The General sent an answer from Fraga on the 6th, returning his thanks to the Authorities, and informing them that he should enter their town the next day. The Government is daily receiving addresses from the Provinces in favour of General Riego. That from Valladolid is conceived in terms far from respectful to the King. The addressers re quest his Majesty to be King himself, and to reign constitutionally. If General Riego be guilty, which they strongly doubt, l e t hi m b e proceeded against by law ; if he he innocent, he ought to be restored to his command. Many persons are of opinion that the new Minister of War will not hold his place. INFORMATION RESPECTING THE LATFST EVENTS IN GREECE. (FROM TIIE ALLGEMETNE ZEITUNG OF SEPT. 17.1 As the great and just interest in the cause of the Greeks which is every where felt, begins now to display itself in action, I have exerted myself to obtain accurate knowledge of the most recent state of affairs in Greece, that we may be the better able to know in what manner our determination to assist them can be best executed. In doing this, I must necessarily report many things already before the public. The maritime power of the Greeks, which has astonished Eu rope, is almost entirely the exclusive property of rich commer cial houses in the three small islands of Hydra, Spezia, and Psara, when the spirit of enterprise of the Greek merchants, which has developed itself under the protection of a freedom, preserved with difficulty by great prudence and great finesse, is now concentrated. The house of Konturioty, in Hydra, the head of which possesses a property of eight millions of Spanish dollars, and has 30 armed ships in the Greek fleet, is the most distinguished for wealth and enlarged views. Other houses in proportion to their means have furnished five ships, or two, or one ; many of more limited means have clubbed together to fur nish one to the fleet. The fleet of the Athenians used to be ksupplied by the rich families, and in the renewal of the same spectacle in our times, we hare not the only proof of the tena ciousness with which the Greeks adhere to their ancient cus toms. The strength of the navy maintained by this Grecian Hansa cannot be accurately stated, but they have about 150 ships, mounting from 15 to 35 guns, about the same number mounting from five to 15 guns, and above 500 mounting only a f,:.w gnus, The 150 Luger vessels with a corresponding num. IDer of smaller oneg, are divided inio four nearly equal fleets, of which the first is stationed before the Dardanelles, the second in the Cyclades, and latterly, the blockade of Thessalonica. The third protects the three islands which command the sea, and observes the movements of the Barbary vessels, and the fourth is employed in the lonian Sea against the remains of the Turkish fleet in the harbours of Aetolia and Epinis, and in blockading the Turkish maritime places. Small s divisions and single ships keep up the communication and convoy the trans ports. In emergencies several of these fleets unite against a common enemy. It seems singular that the name of an Admi ral is never mentioned. The reason is, that as the furnishing of this singular fleet is in common, the command is also com mon, and varies with the power which each house furnishes. Every one conceives he understauds the business, as well as an other, and as at Marathon with the Ten Generals, so at Mity lene, and latterly at Tenedos, lie is the leader on whose day of command the battle is fought. The intelligence of the latest events on the Continent of Greece, connects itself with a knowledge of its internal condi tion and the hostilities against Ali Pascha. When Mahornet the Second conquered Greece, he was satis fied with occupying the level country, the fortresses and the sea towns. Neither he nor his followers, who pushed their con quests in the direction of Hungary and Poland, paid any atten tion to the natural fortresses of the Greek Mountains. Hence the whole of the Greek Mountains remained at first uncon quered. Thither repaired the independent part of the inhabi tants, in order to continue on a Guerilla warfare under bold leaders called Kaaitanys. Theta - mountains have remained in dependent down to our days, its'the Turks are neither inclined nor fitted to carryon a mountain warfare. The Kapitany- usually collects a band of from 50 to 200 vigorous youths and men, who are devoted to him for life and death, and fall on the enemy for the purpose of havoc and spoil, on she roads and in towns.— Originally the unconquered nucleus of the nation, and engaged in perpetual conflicts with the subjugation, they often fall indis criminately on all in the bounds of the enemy, by whom they are called Y-XErvai s as the remains of the subjugated people who preserved their independence in the mountains, were called Latrones by the Romans. Bands of this kind, when not sub ject to strict discipline, certainly degenerate into banditti, and Greek, Albanese, and Arnaut banditti have been organised in this manner; but the. majority of the Kapitanys distinguish strictly between the Christian and the Mussulman, with whom they are at war, and punish the plunder of the former, accord ing to old law, with death. The Patches, who are unable to protect themselves against the bold independence and daring ness of the Kapitanys, generally enter into negotiation with them, and they often, for a nominal subjection, receive pay and provisions, and the superintendence of the district protected by their arms. Such a district delivered over to the protection of a Kapitany, is called his Armatolion.* The mountains of Macedonia, Epirus, and Thessaly, are particularly covered by these Armatolia, and the liberty of the Mainottes, Agraphes, Suliots, Montenegrins, and Mereslites e so much dreaded by the Turks, rests on this foundation. It will easily be per ceived from this, that the Greek Armatolia, as the last asy lums of old Grecian strength and independence, the uncon quered centre of the Greek nation, and are at present the hope and the pledge of better times for Greece. When Ali Pascha aimed at obtaining a more solid sway over Aetolia and Epirus than was possessed by his predecessors, he drew the Kapitanys of his province and their bands, by great presents and still greater promises, into his service. lie then began to destroy them singly,_ not publicly, but secr e tly by means of assassins, whom he then put out of the way to prevent suspicion attaching to himself as the originator. Thus pe rished among many others the father of Odysseus who i s now a leader of daring bands in Thessaly. The rest, discovering in time the treachery, left the assassin, and withdrew into their independent Armatolia. When last year the Porte had deter. mined on the fall of Ali, and Ismail Paschobey advanced with only about 5,000 Turks through Thessaly, against the four times stronger force of Ali, he called to his assistance against the com mon enemy, all the Kapitanys who were incensed against him. In a short time they brought to him 10,000 fighting men, and he opened the campaign with an army of 15,000 men. Ali oc cupied the mountain passes which lead over Kalarites, and more to the north over Mezovo from Thessaly to Epirus. The Kapi tanys found means of passing the mountains, by ways known only to themselves. Attacked every where in front and rear, and cut off from all resources, 'Ali, without striking a blow, retreated into Joannina. The army dispersed, and with the chosen bands of his old friends and associates, mostly Kepi tanys, who had remained true to him, he threw himself into the richly supplied fortress of his capital. From hence he set fire to the town, and compelled the Paschobey, who was not prepared for a siege, to remain inactive beside the ruins of Joan nina. This made him an object of suspicion to the Porte. As he had called the Qhristians to arms, and remained idle before Joannina, the Divan thought Ismail Paschobey had it in view to establish an independent dominion in Epirus, and appointed the powerful Kavanosoglu, the Itumli Basili, as his successor. When Paschobey presented the Greek Kapitanys to him as the men who had brought the Turkish army before Joannina, he dismissed them with harsh words and even with menaces. A Pascha of his retinue, Omar, recognised among the Kapitanys, Diamanty, the enemy of his house. He called hint back. " 1 know-thee," said he to him, " thou art Diamanty, who slew my brother and took from him 20,000 piastres." "I am Dia manty," he answered; " I did slay thy brother and take from him his money, but lie was my enemy, and we met each other in honourable combat ; now we are brothers and friends ; old times must not be spoken of." " Thou art mistaken, Gauer," was the answer ; "we never make friends of dogs. Thou shalt make no doubt satisfaction, and remain in my hands as murderer of my brother." When the Kapitanys heard that Diamanty was retained, they determined at first to free him by force; but one of them, Tzonko, from Thessaly, admitted into the Iletwria, prevailed on them to be more moderate for the moment. It N not now the time to enter unprepared into a useless, perhaps ruinous war, with an enemy prepared for your destruction. Soon will begin a nobler conflict for the freedom of all Greece ; for this, spare yourselves and your arms. - The Kapitanys purchased the freedom .of Diamanty, withdrew, though not without fighting, their bands front the Turkish, and retired for a second time to their mountains., On this Ali Pascha entered again into negotiation with them, and offered them arms and treasures for their assistance. They availed themselves of the means of the -perfidious old man, and ad vanced against the Turks before Joannina. This is the com mencement of a war which has since spread over the whole of European Turkey, and- has nearly brought Europe to a general political catastrophe. For Kavanosoghte, left to his own means, was disturbed by the bands of- the Kapitanys, and as powerless against Joannina as Paschobey. Ile soon re ceived a successor in Beba Pascha, who had displayed great military skill in the campaigns against Russia, and was held in great estimation. However, Beba did not even reach the place of his destination, having died suddenly, it is believed, from poison. Chorsetachmet, Pascha of the Mona, on whom, as one of the most savage barbarians, the curse of the Greeks rests, was now commissioned to punish the infamous rebel. Chorset ' achmet left tile Peloponnesus with his army, which, on its way through Thessaly, was increased to 12,000 men, and appeared before Joanniva, where his best strength was consumed in use less storming of this strong fortress, and in repelling the sallies of Ali, and the attacks of the Kapitanys, now joined by the Agraphes and Suliotes. The Iletwria, winch, as is well known, is a Union or Association founded for the liberation of Greece, and is particularly spread over the islands and maritime places, JJ considered this moment, when by the most wonderful concate nation of circumstances, the Peloponnesus was free !iota its dreaded tyrants and from the Turkish main force; Thessaly was Slightly protected, and Aetolia and Epirus were every wit ere the theatre of war, as particularly favourable for rising against their subjugators, though they were only in part prepared, and there was still particularly a want of arms. Their fleets assem bled and rushed out to support the movements which broke out last spring in every part of Greece. After hard battles, the Turks were driven into the fortresses, which have partly been surrendered, and partly are invested; The struggle was most obstinate in Epirus, where the Turkish population capable of bearing arms had strengthened the army before Joaunina. But here, after numerous battles, the Turks have been mas tered and compelled at length to retire. With about3ooo men, Paschobey, who remained with the army, strengthened the gar rison of Arta. With the rest of the army, about 8009 man, Chorsetachmet retreated to the• passes of alezovo, pretending " From zep , arcz, arms, formal from Ca: Latin arena. he was ordered to Thessaly, and that Machmud Nadia, of Scutari, was to end the war against AIL According to the last accounts from Geneva, in Macedonia, of th e 20 t h July, a part of this corps had arrived there in separate bands, by by-ways, in the most wretched con diti o n, as th e p ass of Mezovof was oc cupied by the Kapitanys. Neibtkly knew any thing of Chor setachmet, and as Thessalonia Was already surrounded by land, the wreck of his army sought to gain the mountains to the North, to penetrate to . Bosnia, at the risk of being completely cut up by the Kapitanys. The Greeks having cleared the open colntry and thelea ironn the enemy, entleavourett to gaiirtlie strong places in the intlllia-of Greece, to form their stren g th in various points into five armie s , a nd to s p rea d from Thessaly the insurrection over Macedonia and Thrace. The following information on this subject has come to our knowledge:—ln the Peloponnesus, the forces which have not crossed the Isthmus remain before Koron, Napoli, and Patras, about 15,000 m e n strong, and keep iese fortresses invested. The remaining bands of the Peloponn es i a n s are un it e d i n t h e ne i g hb our h oo d of Tripoliza, and combat the Turks in this town, who, from the fugitives from all parts of the Peloponnesus, have been con siderably strengthened, and though in great want of water and provisions, according to the last accounts, defended 'themselves with all the courage of despair. As they spared no Greek in habitant of the town, the Greeks have sworn to retaliate on them. The Peloponnesus, though weakened and desolated by the calamities of the last century, still contain at a moderate estimate 40,000 fightingmen. The Mainottes under Petro May romechaly, one of the most powerful of their Kapitanys, have nearly nine thousand well armed and brave men in the field. The other leaders of the Peloponnesians are not known ; we know, however, that Perrhaos raised in the Peloponnesus the first hand with which he broke into Bwotia, and re volutionized that country with Attika and Phocis. What change the arrival there of Demetrius Ypsilanti will produce, remains to be seen. The second corps of the Greeks is in Aetolia and Acarnania, and invests, among other places, which still hold out, Naupactus (Lepanto). The Aetolians are still the wildest of the Greeks, and the. most cruel enemies of the Turks. Farther northwards, in ancient Epirus, the Kapitanys have united with the Suliotes. The armed force here, includ ing the troops of Ali, amounts to 30,000 mert, who are partly before Arta and Prevesa, arc partly clearing the interior from the Turks, and observing the strong places which are in their possession. Ali, freed from the terrors of a siege, and ob served by the Greeks, lives quietly in Joannina with his heroic wife, Basilissa, a Greek, who has shared with him all the al ternations of his fortune, and keeps him true to the Greek cause. A division of the Suliots oc cu pi es farther north the passes, by which Quintus Flaminius formerly found an entrance into Epirus and Thessaly, after fencing or avoiding the posi tions of Philip of Macedon. Beyond this, in Albania, peace is maintained by agreement between the Christians and Turks, who arc nearly equal in strength, and have given hostages to each other, and still farther within Illyria, the powerful Pascha of Scutari ventures on no decisive movement. He is kept in check by the Montenegrins and the Meredites, the countrymen of Scanderbeg. To the northwards of his pro vince, the Austrians are collecting a considerable force at Ragusa, in order, as it seems, on the breaking out o f hostilities, to seek a way between Bosnia and Illyria to Macedonia. This is the situation of the northern parts of Greece. In Thessaly there is a fourth Corps d'Armee. Here is Odysseus, who, after the retreat of Chorsetachmet, actually beat the Pascha of Trikala there, and afterwards advanced with Perrhaos, who penetrated from lleeotia through Thermopylae,and joined Anthimos Gazy, he leader of the Magnesians. The force of these leaders is estimated at 20,000 men. When the power of the Thessalian Turks was broken in severe combats at Trikala, Larissa and Zeituni, a part of the united force in Thes saly proceeded (under Perrhaos) towards the Strymon and Macedonia. This was the signal for the insurrection of this rich province, which broke out on the 20th June on the three Peninsulas. The three Peninsulas of Kassandra, Torone, and Athos, which connect together with the main land at Thessa lonica, contain Ott townships, towns, villages, and monasteries, over which the Bishops of Jeresos, Adrameria, and Kassandria, and the Monks of Mount Athos, exercise a great power, as Lords of a great part of the country, and as having great personal con sideration. hence, when on the day in question the Bishops summoned the people to arms, the insurrection was universal. The Monks furnished arms,ammunition, and guns, and already, on the 25th of June, Thessalonica was invested by the Bands of the Bishops, the Monks, and the Thessalian Leaders, while at the same time the fleet from the Cyclodes placed itself before the harbour. The other Greek provinces, Attika, Beeotia, Phocis, are of subordinate importance for the main cause. But the centre of the Greek events from henceforward is evidently Thessaly, which, in connection with Macedonia and Beecaia, offers great means for the equipment of soldiers, and from whence the great movements towards Bosnia, Macedonia, and Thrace, must be conducted. SOUTH AMERICA. The following is an extract of a letter received yesterday by the Brazil packet :---- " RIO DE JANEIRO, JULY 23.—A few days ago, the private Secretary of the English Minister, who lately resided here, arrived from Lima, which place he left on the Ist May, and 'haunt, the head-quarters of the Chilian army, on the 3d. He came by sea from Valparaiso, and travelled from thence across the Continent to Buenos Ayres, where he again took shipping for this place. When he left Lima, the American frigate General BrOW2I was lying at Callao, and was to sail about the middle of May. The ex-Viceroy, PEZUELA, had engaged a passage in her. LA SERNA, the new Viceroy, possessed the - general confidence, and owing to his vigorous measures the prospects of the country are much altered for the better. During the visit of Sir Tiro:A.4s lIAP.DY to Callao, he passed four or five days in Lima, during which he had frequent conferences with the Viceroy, and it is said that the conse quence was a much higher idea than before of the resources of that capital, and of the attachment of the people to Spain. When he returned to Valparaiso he declared to the. merchants there his determination not to recognize Lord COCH RANE'S blockade. [A letter received yesterday at Lloyd's states, that the British commander has required the immediate liberation of the three English vessels detained at Valparaiso, or other wise declares that he would take possession of them.] Lord COCHRANE has surprised Arica, where he landed with five hundred men, and delivered up the place to the pillage of his followers. He found in the port four vessels, which also fell into his hands. Their names are —the Lord Cathcart, Columbia, Joseph, and Roberts. The two first, however, had safely landed their cargoes before he seized them. The Independent Army ' lu Peru was not in a prosperous state when our informant visit ed its head-quarters at lluaura. San Martin had sailed from the coast with a detachment of 1,000 men, but its destination was then unknown. (This is the expedition which the accounts lately receive] by way of Jamaica state at 4,000 men ; and add, that a total defeat was sustained by them at Chorillas.) The remainder of his force continued at lluaura, under the command of Las Ileras. They are described to have been in a very bad condition, the greater part of the men sick and in want of necessaries of every kind. To add to the distress of their situation, _ . heir communication with Arenales at Pisco was in danger of Leing cut off, by a movement of the Spanish troops under the command of General VALDEs and IticcA.FoßT.—The country lying be tween Buenos Ayres and Chili is infested to such a degree by the Montoneros, that it is ren dered extremely dangerous. to travellers, as i❑ their search of plunder, they do not very nicely discriminate in its objects. The gentleman above-mentioned was compelled to travel only by night, and concealed himself during the day, by which means he passed through in safety, but very few travellers venture to make the same ex periment." t'OR THE SUN. PUBLIC REDUCTIONS. Mk. EDITOR-I beg leave to offer a new plari of retrenchment, by which, in the. opinion of many of my friends, a greater saving of officers and otlicer,.s' salaries, in the Public‘Departments may be etyeeted, without inftri'y tftan . 'y - titan is expected to acgrn't from the new alTauge ments sanctioned by the Lords of the Treasury. It is well known to many of my friends in the Public Offices, that, at the time when fees Ivo', allowed, th ere were numerous useless forms an d ceremonies introduced into the ptiblic business, for the purpose of enabling the Officers to make charges at as many stations as possible. These useless incumbrances on the dispatch of husiniess still continue, though the abolition of fees ha' taken away the only good reason which can be assigned for their original introduction. Now, Sir, were the forms themselves abolished , as well as the right to take fees, which alone ren dered them valuable, the duty of Officers would in some instances be reduced one half ; and con' sequently fewer Officers would be found regal' site for the performance of the *lodes. Another obvious advantage would be increased celerity h' the dispatch of business. And, its order to make • the reduction as extensive and effectual as pos sible, and the saving as great as is practi cable, without injury to the Officers themselves/ I would recommend that all Officers Who shall give satisfactory proqf that th e i r ~ victual services can be dispensed with, s hod'd be allowed to retire on an allowance of three' fourths of their existing salary.

SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDE-li at LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1821. We have received the French Papers of T burs' day and Friday, the contents of which are still silent on the state of the relations between Rus sia and Turkey. The political situation of Spain is far from tranquil, add e d t o w hi c h a consider able portion of the eastern provinces in t hat country are suffering dreadfully from the destruc tive fever which manifested itself in the first plac e at Barcelona, and has since spread to sever° neighbouring towns. Our extracts will be found in the preceding columns. We thought the exhortations of the Patriarch s ' though the " tranquillity of Constantinople" w a4 sagely attributed to his influence, would not 1 13 " much weight with the Greeks. By the l: tes t letters from Constantinople, it appears, that, st) far from his Appeal having had any effect on th'" patriotic bands of his countrymen, they refuse to recognize his authority, in consequence of h is having been appointed by the sole authority ' 9( the Porte, without the concurrence of the Syroi d7 all the members of which had been assassina t ed by the Turks!—Many of the Greeks believe t he new Patriarch to be a Jew in disguise.
