tween the Swiss trotted the iispie •f Nentee,
bat if these 165 meow depute the truth, the
tumult, instead of bevies arisen from seditious
motives on the part of the people, originated oho-
gether in the improper conduct of this Swiss officer
and his troops. It is added. that a merchant, who

was wounded by the troops, was in the spirit of
French justice immediately arrested by an officer of
police. It might almost be suspected from this
conduct, and that winch we have occasionally
noticed on the part of the President of the Assize
Court of Paris, that the authorities in France were
desirous rather of extending the canoes of digitalis-
faction than of correcting the abuses which might
teem to justify • desire of reforming the Govern-
ment.

The trials of the Rochelle conspirators still oe.
copy the attention of the Assize Court and the
columns of the Paris Journals. They are very
deficient iu interest.

Au Augsburg Paper of the 25th of last month,
which, with other German Papers, arrived yesterday
at our office, endeavours to discredit the previous
accounts which ascribed a victory to the arms of
Greece. The only ground, however, on which the
Augsburg writer founds his presumption of the
incorrectness of those accounts is, that various
statements have appeared from different pliers,
which, in speaking of this victory, have not agreed
in the details. Our Ministerial Journals exult in
the probability of the victory's having been on the
side of the Turks; but we anima very highly
esteem the reasoning powers of those persons who
would venture to give the victory to one party,
solely because several statements, coming from vs-
riotsc quarters, concur in staling that the other
party was triumphant. The trifling discrepancies
in these statements, concerning the details of which
none professes to be fully informed, are calculated
to strengthen public belief in their general correct.
ness upon the main point ; for, if the story were
merely a fabrication, nothing would be more easy
than for one writer to repeat the words of soother,
without having any regard to private sources of
intelligence.
But if, as the Ministerial writers of Austria and
England pretend, the Ottoman troops have defeat-
ed the Greeks in sundry engagements, so that
throughout the whole of Greece the banuers of the
Cross fall beneath the superior • power of the Cres-
cent, bow comes it that they can furnish no ac-
counts of triumphs which would be so highly grate-
ful ? We were.told some time since that Tartars
had arrived at the Seraglio, bringing accounts of
the splendid victories of CHOURSCHID PACHA, yet
the SULTAN has not thought proper, under the ex-
isting emergencies of his Government, to publish
the results. This silence alone inspires us with
hope that the news first communicated about the
events winch would, if true, renew the lustre of
Thermopybe, was substantially correct, although
we think it probable still, as we then expressed,
that the accounts, being but the repetition of
oral narratives, were considerably exaggerated.

New York Papers to the Bth last hare arrived.
They announce several caste of yellow fever in that

In Shropshire, it is dressed and manufactured, like
flax, into cloth. This is the case also in Prance,
where it is made into paper. This plant, when
dried, is eaten by sheep and oxen. In Russia a
green dye is obtained from its leaves, and a yellow
one from its roots. In the spring a salutary pottage
is made from the tops. In Scotland 'they make a
