The French Papers which arrived last night contain
some intelligence favourable to the cause of Greek Inde-
pendence. It seems quite certain that IBRAHIM PAM( is
put upon the defensive. We may expect, therefore, that
he will shortly be compelled to capitulate, for it is impos-
sible that he can escape from the Mores, if he fail in con-
quering it.

An absurd report is stated in these Papers, viz. that the
insurrection of Monte Video, against Brazil, has been
caused by the secret intrigues of Dr. Faawcis, the
director of Paraguay, wba, it is pretended, has declared war
against BOLIVAR, and proclaimed FL RDINAND VII. The
insurrection of the negroes at Matanzas was, it appear',
quelled without much diMeulty.

Conru, Auo. 13.

Ity my letter of the 19th I acquainted you with the defeat
which Iteaschid Paella has experienced under the walls of fills-
anlonghi, where he lost the half of his army. Our fleet, which
has appeared near Misselonghl, has obtained further advantages;
it has succeeded in burning two large ships, and in capturing a
brig of the enemy's fleet, which has fled, and has partly taken
refuge at Winne, whcre the Greek fleet watches it.
Yesterday several boats arrived from Proves& and Collars They
bring the news that the Greek troops, which were at Salona had
arrived to succour Missolonghi, had concerted measures with the
besieged, and that in the night of the 7th of August a simultaneous
attack was made upon the enemy with the greatest success.
Almost all the baggage fell into the bands of the Cheeks, who
Twinned the remainder of the enemy's army in its flight as far as
Vreehork

It is said that the loan which the three envoys from Hayti, who
Live arrived at Havre, are going to negotiate at Paris, will be con-
vected by Mews. Latter and Baring.
(From the Quotidicrtnel

PARII, SEPT. 3.

A journal of the liberal opposition has today some remarks on
the lean of 100 millions which the envoys of Hayti are come to re.
gothic in France. To facilitate the success of this loan the Jour.
nal points out the conditions that it would be advisable to propose;
among others, that of fixing the interest at 6 per cent. In case
this loan should really be contracted for at 6 per cent, will 31. de
Welt look_ on this as a new proof that money in France is at three
pm cent.? The Etoile is capable of it.
The carriage stopped on the ?.Bth Aug. at Valenciennes, with
two minions in gold bars, belonged to the house of Rothschild. A
ministerial jour .al pretends. that this which was travelling
without a permit, was to be changed at Brussels for five franc
pima.
The Memorial Bordela,s contains the following news :

" According to recent letters from Gibraltar, it seems that the
Insurrection of Alonte Video against Brazil has been caused by the'
surer intrigues of Dr. Franck, Supreme Governor of Paraguay,
who has declared war against Bolivar, after having proclaimed
Ferdinand VII., and received into the country which he governs,
the remains of the royal army in Peru!"
The Memorial liordelais has also the news of a revolt at hiatus-
es% in Cuba, of wh'.ch it gives no details. The letters which an-
nounce it are of the &t July, and ascribe it to the news of the
emancipation of St. Domingo having been received there.
To this we observe, that Viougli the Kiug's Online-cc is dated

the 17t1so. August, it could not be the pretext for the revolt,
'since Baron Blackau did not arrive at Port-au-Prince till the 3d
July.

•The letter from the Bavannah of the 94th June relate, as the
Dalt says, that an insutrection brae out at Matanzas on the 14. h
of that month ; that several plantations rose at once, and 1,000 to
1,200 negroes proceeded to others that were at a distance, armed
with muskets, pistols, and sabres. From 20 to 23 whites, pro.
prieture or factors, unfortunately, almost all Frenchmen, were killed
at the beginning, and several others wounded. But on the first
alarm, the whites, united by their sense of their common danger—
the only ground of the tranquillity of Cuba, amidst the passions
which ferment in it and the revolutions which surround it--rose in
a body, and hastened on all sides against the revolters. From 130

. _
to •?00 negroes were tilled on the spot. Pursuit is making in the
woods after the fugitives. Order is completely restored.

We have seen several letters from Greece of a late date,
which speak in the warmest terms of the devotion and
docility of the people, but, at the same time, the writers
lament the want of union that still exists amongst the
military leaders. One letter states, that Alrauzis is a
noble exception to the discontented chiefs. He is ready
to join in any enterprise, and with any person, in order to
serve his country. The following passage will show his
patriotic zeal :—it is from a letter from a' young English-
man now serving in the Greek navy. He says, " I have
never met with so fine an old man as MIA u us; his courage,
activity, good-humour, and, above all, his patriotism, are
beyond all praise. He sits on the deck of his vessel night,
and day with his spy-glass in his hand. He has a curious
trick of tearing the soft leather of his shoes. During the
pursuit of the Turkish fleet, which was a very perplexing
operation to him, his shoes were torn to ribandts." In a
letter from a gentleman, just arrived in Ireland, from
Greece, it is stated, that Lord Coo-tsar:es services would
be peculiarly valuable to the Greeks, but the writer says,
that his Lordship ought to lose no time in departing, and
that, arrive when he may, it will require all his energy
and firmness to insure success, in consequence of the dis-
sensions of the chiefs.

CITY, TUESDAY Evexiwo.

There was considerable elasticity in the Consols Market
this morning, as the quotations will sufficiently show, but
the business in it was not very extensive. It opened at
871 i, and shortly after went down to I, which probably
was occasioned by a heavy sale that took place at that time;
but it very soon rallied and got back I, BS, at which price
there were strong buyers. The price then reached 84 I,
at which it was steady till near the close of the market, and
it left off; sellers, at 88k.

The Money Bargains were done at 87f 1. Exchequer
Bills, that were done at par in the early part of the morn-
ing, rose before the close of the market to Ss. 6s. premium.
—The improvement of Securities of almost every descrip.
tion is to b^ attributed to the circumstance of money
becoming so much more easy than it was two or three
days since.
In the Fcreign Market South American Securities were
the chief objects of attention, and a good deal of business
was done in them at an advance in price. Colombian Bonds
were done readily at 7711, as was Mexican Scrip at 81/
discount. The new Guatemala Scrip, which was the last
of these Stocks in suffering depression, and the first of
them to recover from it, was buoyant at 21 2 discount.
Greek Scrip was at 171 161 till the very close of the Mar-
ket, when there were buyers of it at 17 discount. The
Old Spanish Bonds also improved at the latter part of the
day, reaching at that time 21a 22. Brazilian Scrip was at
82 1 discount.

Anglo-Chilian Shares were id great demand at 21; as
were the old Chilian Shares at 8 10. There was a very
good market for United Mexican shares at 20 42. The
Anglo-Mexican Shares remained at yesterday's quotation.
It is reported that Government have it in contemplation
to raise the interest of Exchequer Bills.
Contrary to the general expectation that the continental
arrivals yesterday tended to produce, the Sugar market
did not improve. It was rather a heavy one, as was also
that in Rum. Coffee was firm in price.

The Ridleys is arrived at Mount's Bay, Cornwall, from
Batavia and the Cape of Good hope; and the Ida Aleyda
Bakker, a Dutch vessel, has arrived off Dover, from a
similar voyage; but neither of these ships bring any news.
The Apollo, Blythe, is also arrived from Berbice; she
sailed on the .sth july. The rains had been partial in the
island, but still they had been serviceable. The Ridleys
brings no other news.
Extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres, dated Jane 16 :
-" In politics we have not much news, except the fears of
a rupture with the Brazilians, who have, immediately on',
the news of the rebellion reaching Rio de Janeiro, for-
warded near 2,000 men, part of which arrived at Monte
Video, and part higher up. We learn bra vessel just ar-
rived, that they have a brig of war cruising in the river,
who boards all merchantmen coming up. The Captain of
the vessel, who is an Englishman, told the master of the
Earl of Egremont that he was fortunate in arriving when
he did, as he was waiting orders to blockade this port.
Things have not, however, come to a rupture, nor do I
think they will, as this Government is not in a state for
war : she has no marine, nor any place to keep them, even
if there was, with security. It is reported that an officer
'a coining up here in a vessel of war from the Brazilian Go-
vernment to have an understanding whether they are to
prepare for war, as it is believed at Rio that this Govern-
ment is supporting the rebellious party on the eastern side.
It is most likely alhvill end in smoke.'

Extrast of a letter dated Rio de Janeiro, July 1, 1823 :
—.4 We learn from good authority that envoys have ar-
rived from Austria and France (rather secretly), to enter
into certain negotiations, preparatory—(i.e. as the sine qua
non)—to acknowledge the independence of this country ;
and that at an interview which they had with the Em-
peror, they were informed that no such negotiations could
he entered upon until the arrival of the British Ambassador,
now daily expected. This is most delightful to British
feelings, and we understand that our Consul-General. Mr.
Chamberlain, obtained an audience next day to tender his
thanks to the Emperor for so handsome a compliment to
the feelings and prinniples of the British Governnient.
We lament to say that trade continues in the most de-
pressed state; whole days frequently pass without the
sale of a single package of goods. Money is excessively
scarce, and discounts Ito 11 per cent. per month. The
dealers are more remiss than ever in their payments, and
we dread the consequences. Considerable sums have been
lately sent to the northern ports to be invested in cotton,
Ste. ; our exchange has in consequence risen to 35 a 56.
The prices of our produce continues extravagantly high,
when calculated at this advanced exchange."
Advices to the 18th July were yesterday received from
Sierra Leone. They afford proof of the persevering acti-
vity with which the hateful traffic in human beings is still
carried on by men who disgrace civilization. A vessel
laden with slaves was met with at sea in distress by the
Roxburgh Castle, East Indianan, which took possession of
her, and carried her into Sierra Leone. The Judicial Com-
mission which is permanently established there will no
doubt do justice to the parties engaged in the illegal
trade ; and, what is more gratifying, the unfortunate
beings who had been dragged into captivity will he
restored to freedom and instructed in civilization and
religion. _ _

fhe following is an extract of a letter from Zante, dated
August 3:—" There has been a continual passage of
Greek ships since my last. They appear to come as they
are got ready, anti they must he now equal in point of
number to the Turks. They are said to have a great
many flreships, and a good supply of ammunition for -Nils-
solonghi. Ihe fleets have been in sight of each other to
the northward of this island, without doing anything, for
the last four days, but I understand the Turkish fleet is
not in sight this morning, and the conclusion is that it has
gone into the Gulf, and that the Greeks have been able to
throw their supplies into Missolonghi. The Turkish
forces, both by sea and land, attacked Miasolonghi upon
all points yesterday, and were repulsed with great loss ;
the particulars are not known, the vessel which WI ught
the intelligence having railed imu etliately after the Turks
h. d retired from the attack."

All that I saw returns upon my Slew,
All that I heard comes back upon me est%
Woartstroatse.

A vision cross'd me as I slept..
A vision unallied to pain;.
And in m♦ day-dreams it has kept
Possession of my heart and brain ;
It is a portion of my soul,
And, if the soul may never die,
That vision now is past control,
And shares its immortality.
It took a form that time may change
In others' eyes, but not in mine:
For coldness--hate cannot estrange
My still unshaken heart from thine-
I saw thee then, as I have seen
The cherish'd one of earlier years,
Ere pale suspicion came between
Our hearts—and poison'd both with fears.
I heard thee speak, and felt the tone
Of welcome o'er my spirit steal;
As if our souls had never known

What those who pan in coldness feel.
Thy hand to mine in fondness clung,
And, when I met its thrilling press,
I almost dewed it had a tongue
And whisper'd love and happiness.
'Tis said, that dreams may herald truth ;
But dreams like these are worse than vain,
For what can bring back wither'd youth,
Or love's unshaded hours again ?
They do but mock us—giving scope
To joys from which we wake and part,
And then are lost the hues of Hope--
The rainbow of the clouded heart.
They are the spirits of the past
That haunt the chambers of the mind ;
Recalling thoughts too sweet to last,
And leaving blank despair behind.
They are like trees from stranger bow'rs,
Transplanted trees that take not root—
Young buds that never come to flow'rs—.
Frail blossoms that ne'er turn to fruit.
They are like demons who would bring
The nectar that might tempt to sip,
And yell in triumph as they fling
The goblet from our fever'd lip.
They are like Ocean's faithless calm,
That with a breath is roused to strife—
Or hollow friendship's profited balm
That poisons all the springs of lift.
I thought we met at silent night,
And roam'd as we were wont to roam,
And pictur'd with a fond delight
The pleasures of our future home.
That home our hearts may never share—
'Tis lost to both for ever now ;
The tree of hope lien wither'd—bare—
Without a blossom, leaf or bough.
To words—vain words—no pow'r is giv'n,
The torments of my soul to tell ;
I slept—and had a dream of heav'n—
I woke—and felt the pangs of hell.
Yet. I would not forget thee—No !
Tho' thou hut wither'd hope in me—
Nor for a world of joys forego
The one sweet joy of loving thee.

find out who this Duke of Milfort is. We confess we

that the Gazette writer has assumed a privilege, which
even his Britannic Majesty does not possess—the creation
of a Scotch Peer.

GERMAN PAPERS.

A few days ago arrived here the Rev. Father Lestranges, Abbot

We learn that the Society of Maritime Commerce (which, as has
been stated, Is going to send a ship to Lima), will shortly publish
an official account of the expedition of the Mentor to.Ohira, the
first Prussian ship that ever made that voyage. This publicity is
founded on the nature of the case, as the Prussian State is by no
means disposed to aim at a monopoly of the German trade with
Canton, but, on the contrary, makes all these essays with a view of
showing to the merchants of the seaport towns that a wall-conducted
enterprise may afford ample profit. After the publication of this
report, which it is to be hoped will not be long delayed, interesting
comparisons may be made with the expense and the profit of the
English and Dutch enterprises of the same kind.
FRANKFORT AUGUST 29.

A treaty has been concluded between the Duke of Oldenburg
and Count Bentinck, relative to the Lordship of Knlphausen. In
consequence of the various political events, the relations of this
Lordship with the German Confederation are not precisely deter-
mined, nothing having been decided respecting it either in 1813, by
the Allied Powers, when the Duke of Oldenburg took possession of
Jever. with which Kninhausen had been united by the French, or
subsequently by the Congress at Vienna.—Froakfort Papers,
August 30.
