LONDON, TUESDAY, FIBRI/ARY 7, 1826.

The Eloile dated Sunday arrived yesterday, with the
other Parispapers of Monday. They contain no political
intelligence whatever, excepting the news from Russia,
which we have given in another column from the St.
Petersbaret Gazette.
In the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday M. de la
Boot 'Axing was elected the fifth candidate for the Presi-
dency; and Messieurs de Maarroxac, de VAUnLa4C,
DEISCORDES, and CARRELET de Lome, were chosen Vice-
Presidents.

From the Russian Official Gast:le we this day copy a
detailed narrative of the revolt of Colonel MocUAVlerr,
the last attempt, as far as we yet know, to prevent the ac-
cession of the Emperor Nicitotas. Whether these move-
ments have been the result of a conspiracy, as the Rus-
sian Government asserts, or whether they were the spon-
taneous efforts of individuals acting under the influence
of the oath by which they conceived themselves bound to
support the rights of the Grand Duke CONSTANTINS,
it is impossible for us to ascertain correctly at this mo-
ment, nor perhaps shall be better able to do so at any
subsequent period. We do not observe that the leaders
of the revolt put forward any inducement to the soldiers
who followed them beyond the indispensable obligation,
they owed to the rightful heir to the throne.

Accounts from. Greece are anxiously expected; in the I
mean time the advantages she has recently gained serve to
dissipate all fear as to her ultimate success, sad to confirm
the prediction that the day is not very far remote wean the
civilization of Europe will overflow its present limits, and
carry wealth and happiness through the whole of those de-
lightful, but desolate, regions that embosom the Mediter-
ranean. It is, as we have often remarked, the interest of
the leading powers of the continent that her independence
should be placed in safety. An enlightened public opinion
has made her cause everywhere popular, and this prevail-
ing disposition must lead eventually to the desired result.
The end will be accomplished without the risk of any
rupture with the Porte, for as CHATE•URRIAND well
observed in his Note sur la Grecs, it is not proposed to
obtain the independence of Greece lrf making a joint at-
tack on Turkey, and then fighting for the spoils: the only
tiling required is, that all the Powers should unite in re-
questing the Porte to treat with the Greeks, to put an end
to the war of extermination which afflicts the Christian
world, interrupts commerce, embarrasses navigation,
obliges neutrals to obtain convoys, and disturbs the
general peace. If the Divan declined to lend an ear to
these just representations, the recognition of the inde-
pendence of Greece might be the immediate consequence of
that refusal. By this simple proceeding Greece would be
saved without firing a single gun far her; and the Porte,
sooner or later, would be obliged to follow the example of
the Christian States.

By the Recovery from Bombay, we have received papers
and letters from that Presidency to the 20th of September
inclusive. They bring intelligence of the invasion of
Cutch by a band of marauders,or Pindarees as the private ac-
counts term them. Cutch is the extreme westernmost district
of Hindoostan subject to British influence. It is bounded
by the east branch of the Indus on one side, and the Gulf
of Cutch on the other. It is governed by a Rajah of its
own, who is under the protection of the East India Com-
pany. The invaders are stated to be in considerable
strength, and they have the more free and ample scope for
their depredations, as all the disposable troops had been
withdrawn for active service in the Burmese war. The
Government of Bombay, for the purpose of promptly sup-
pressing the disorders in Cutch, bad taken up all the
merchant vessels lying in the port, for the immediate con-
veyance of a sufficient military force to the disturbed terri-
tory. So great was the importance attached by the Govern-
ment of Bombay to this incursion, that the transports were
engaged eagerly at the high rate of 48 rupees per ton per
month. There is no doubt that the energetic measures
adopted towards the freebooters would lead at once to their
destruction, though unfortunately not perhaps until they
have inflicted much suffering on the peaceful and unoffend-
ing inhabitants of Cutch. The vast remoteness of this
district from the Burmese empire relieves us from any
apprehension that this outrage can be productive of any
mischievous effect with regard to the hostilities waging in
that quarter. The news of the incursion will probably not
reach the enemy till after his subjugation. The following
are extracts from the Bombay papers :

SOildiAT, SEPT. 10.

Native accounts frog Cutch, which have reached Bombay In
four days by sea, mention that a band of marauders had succeeded
in plundering the village et Bheemasseer, within eight miles of
Anjar. They also state that doorjee, chief of NUM, and one of
the Rao's bayaud,l had fled to Sand, where be had collected about
a thousand followers, whom it is supposed he would employ In
plundering excursions into the Cutch territories. The first fall of
:sin had been abusdaut but a second supply was much wanted,
without which the natives appeared to think a total failure of the
crops would take place.

SEPT. It

We understand that hie Majesty'seth regiment, the flank compo.
nits of the 9d European regiment, • detachment of artillery, and
the 3d regiment of native infantry, will embark for Cutch in the
course of next week. The •hips taken up to convey the troops to
their destination ate the Simpson, Gloriosa, and Flora. The Hon.
Company's cruiser. Amherst, and the PaSaurus, will also proceed
to idandavie on this occasion.

Mr. Secretary PEEL yesterday laid before Parliament
copies of three commercial treaties concluded between his
Mary wry's Government on the one part, and the State of
Colombia—the Hansiatic Towns and the King of FRANCE
severally on the other part. We have already from the
foreign papers published translations of the two former;
we this day are enabled to submit to our readers a copy of
the treaty of commerce and navigation with France. It is an
important document, and framed on principles of perfect
reciprocity. Henceforth French and British vessels will
enter the ports of either kingdom on precisely the same
terms to whichever state they may belong. The trade of
the Colonies is thrown open as well as that of the mother
country, with the exception of the territories of the East India
Company. No third power can obtain from either of the
parties more favourable terms than by this treaty they have
granted to each other. We confidently hope that this aus-
picious negotiation will lay the foundation of an extended
and permanent commercial intercourse between the two
richest and most flour jolting countries in the world.
Mr. MAR saLy gave notice of a motion for the repeal of
the Assessed Taxes un the 7th of March. We shall be
curious to see how the Hon. Gentleman proposes to dis-
pense with these branches of the public income at the pre-
