The High C4:101111i!LS1011K, who is now here on his return, appears
quite satisfied with the account he has heard of the Greek Govern-
ment at Nauplie.

ZANTZ, OCTOPZI 1.

Upon the 25th September, M. VAIVAII, aged 81, sailed from
this, in one of his ships bearing the Russian flag, to repair to Nau.
plie, to the Greek Government, with the intention of asking the
Cession of Navarin to found there a Colony of Psariots, his to.
patriots. Ile would engage to build houses for his people, and to
place the fortress in a state of defence at his ows cost. M. Vas-
TAXI had with him a supply of 50,000 francs, gifts of the Greeks
residing in Russia, which he intends to offer to the Government
upon his arrival at Nauplie.
On the 25th September arrived here the brig Florida, bringing
the thi:d payment or the loan, amounting to 1,9014000 francs.
A private hospital has been organised at the expense of a private
society, which takes charge of the expenses for three years.
Some of the inhabitants of Zante have created an annual subscrip.
tion of from 5,1 to 100 and 200 colonates, for the entire establish-
ment of the Greek Government. The venerable V I has
subscribed 1,000 colonates.
On the 10th September the Greeks defeated at Cos the Turkish
and Egyptian fleets, and burned the fine frigate the Africa, com-
manded by ISMAEL GIititALTAR, whom the immortal CANAIIf
has had the glory of destroying. The barbarians have also lost in
this affair a Tunisian brig ; 25 transports laden with provisions
and arms have been captured, and a greater numbsr burnt or sunk.
Four personages of high distinction have been nude prisoners in
this action.
On the 16th and 111411 of September there were two other naval
.engagements, in which the Greeks performed ircredible prodigies
of valour. Ships have been taken and destroyed, the enemy's fleets
scattered and pursued by the soldiers of the cross. Thin is a ter-
taro fact. :ilany foreign ships of war have been witnesses of these
achievements, which will for ever immortalise ou► country. It was
a source of astonishment to the foreigners, that with man brigs our
brave men should conquer and burn vessels, frigates, corvettes, and
ships of war of the first class.
Captain SALAVO, an Austrian, who arrived at Zante on the 28th
September, has declared that the Greek packet which he met in.
formed him, that on the 211th September the enemy's fleet, collected
in the Roads of Samos, had been beaten by the Greeks in a new
attack. The Turks had lost three frigates or corvettes, which were
burnt, and many of their transports had been taken.

We yesterday mentioned the article in the Courrier
Francais respecting the illiberal policy of the French
Ministry as to matters of trade, and especially the im-
portation of English engravings. We have not time to-
day to go into the subject, but we lay the article before
our readers. Our Paris Correspondent has given the par-
ticulars of the transactions connected with the silk trade,
which reflect so much disgrace on the French law and
Authorities.
