We have received the French Papers of Wednesday,
and the Bloat of Thursday. The following are a few
estracts:—

The official answer of the Porte to the Russian ultimatum had
not been communicated previously to the 29th ult. to any member
of the Diplomatic body. Al. de Minztacky had threatened to !elite
capital; and the Turkish Ministers bed up to that date con-
doned to repents the Russian Minister with the arrogance which
had ban displayed by Rmaia, in the whole conduct of the negoti-
ation. It was believed, however, that the Porte started difficulties
only foe the purpose of obtaining better terms, and that the Com-
milkmen had received orders to make every concession if it were
Wend necresary.--Gasette (raitx►tel t.

GREECE.
The news from Orme, remised by way of Constantinople and

Smyrna, agree in announcing the defeat of the Greeks who

attempted, towards the middle of August, to relieve Athens.

Mews *ilk the regular corps of rabvier. disembarked on the lath
at Eltuais, and the Pthetls. Colonel Fab,ler wished to fall imam-
dtately upon the Turkish forces scattered about the environs of
Aare's. Eareiskaki, the Commander-in. Chief, opposed this
prepasitioe, and thus gave the &realer time to learn the dis-
positions of the Greeks, and to take his measures. The latter

aistuned the offensive on the 17th, and preserved their advan-
tage till the 16th. On the 211th they were attacked by the
Turks, who had been joined by Omer Pacha, with 1,000
loot and 800 hone, from Marathon. On the sight of the Turkish
cavalry, the Roomslitres took to eight in order to reach the moon.

The affairs of the Greek deputation continue to occupy
a large portion of the public attention; and certainly if
there is no means but what appears at present of explain-
ing the extraordinary circumstances in the affair, we must
Say that there is a very strong case against almost every
individual who has been connected with the money trans.
actions of the loan. Mr. ORLANDO, before leaving
England, had rent us a very long statement, similar to
those which have since been brought forward; but having
afterwards withdrawn it from publication, we did not think
ourselves justified in making any allusion to the assertions
contained in it. Besides we bad too much confidence in
the honour of many of the parties implicated, and in the
talents for business possessed by one at least of these indi-
viduals, to believe that any such gross imputations could
with any sort of justice be applied to them. Opposed, as
we are, in political opinion to almost all the more distin-
guished individuals connected with these transactions, we
must fairly acquit them of any thing resembling a breach
of confidence, and we do not know well how to reconcile
ourselves to the belief of imbecility like that which is said
to have marked their conduct. We have long been aware
of the apparent eagerness and real nonchalance of Sir
Faawets BURDETT'S character; and we have often wit-
nessed the accuracy of Mr. HUME in little things, and his
blunders in great ones ; but we can hardly bring ourselves to
iselieve that they have been so careless and so weak in a mat-
ter in which they pretended even to s degree of enthusiasm.
The prima fitcie evidenoe in this case is certainly favour-
able to Sett NIOLAC t, who has merited the confidence of
his Government, so far as to be appointed, along with Sir
PRA Nei sße RDETT, to examine the accounts. It is very
strange that all the gentlemen whose names are mixed
up with these transactions sit down so quietly under
the mingled attacks of sarcasm and imputation with
which they have lately been assailed. Under these cir-
cumstances, while any shadow of doubt remains, we are
inclined to wait for farther information before giving a de-
cided opinion on so delicate a point. A mystery is ad-
mitted to exist ; till every remnant of that mystery be
dissipated, we think ourselves bound to suspend our judg-
ments, and to hope that the English name has not been so
deeply disgraced as it is asserted to have been in this busi-
ness. We still trust that something has bees done, or is
doing, for Greece. We hope that something like a tole-
rable account may yet be rendered of those tranuctions
which now appear so questionable. Till then we must
keep ourselves *hoof, and allow the truth to develop
itself.

CITY, FRIDAY Evsx:we.

There has bees less doing in the British Fends this day
than any previous one during the week, Consols having
fluctuated between nll and 82, their closing price being
81! for Money, and 82 for the Account. There was a
total dearth of any thing like Continental information, and
even imagination did not venture a single report. Exche-
quer Bills are at 25, 26, and India Bonds from 41 to 43.
The Foreign Exchange has not presented any particular
activity. Advice, have been received from Bogota to the
Dth, and Papers to the sth of August, from which it appears
that the Government were using every diligence to fulfil
their engagements with England. It will be recollected that
the levies were not to come into operation until October,
and therefore it was impossible, when these accounts came
away, that money could be ready to be forwarded to Vera
Crux for transmission to this country. Pezz certainly
war not submitting to his fate with that tranquillity which
had been reported; but, on the contrary, was pushing his
system of Federal Government beyond the immediate pro-
vince in which it was promulgated, and it would seem with
some effect. The account taken from the French Farm
of Bo tivA a having passed throu3h Bogota, on his way to
Caraccas, on the 2d of August, is not confirmed; on the
contrary, though expected on the 4th, he had not arrived
on the 9th, but was hourly looked for, and with much
anxiety, as upon him is supposed to depend the fate of
Parr. These accounts rather posed the speculators, for
they were hardly sufficient on which to go for a rise,
and certainly not unsatisfactory enough to promote a fall
of any consequence : at the close of the market they had
suffered a alight reaction to 3S f. Mexican Bonds were
also affected, and varied from 1 to 2 per cent., closing at
631 to There was, however, no cause for the deviation
beyond the whim of the speculators. Chilian, Greek, and
Spanish, do not show any variation since yesterday.
A representation having been made to his Majesty's
Ministers on the subject of the merchantmen captured by
the Brazilian squadron, for breach of the blockade of,
anent* Ayres, they have returned for answer that they
cannot interfere in any way to prevent their condemnation,
unless it could be shown that the breach vas committed in
ignorance of the order which declared the port in a state of
blockade.

The Share Market is in a quiescent state, quotations
being the same as yesterday.
The arrivals of English grain bare been rather scanty,
and importation also- has been upon a reduced scale this
week; and the consequence has been, that Slontlay's prices
have: been fully supported, Malting Barley being a shade
higher; and Oats also, if ally thing, admit of the same
observation.
