LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1813.

The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived last night. The
Chamber of Deputies, on the preceding day, was occupied
principally with the consideration of petitions praying for
indemnity, which are multiplying rapidly. Every indivi-
dual who has suffered in consequence of the Revolution
puts in his claim for compensation, and. 53 it appears, to
us, with equal right to be satisfied. Some of the peti-
tioners go the full length of insisting upon the restitu-
tion of the property of the emigrants, which, they say,
i 3 as much theirs as the crown is the Kt G's, and we have
no doubt that, in order to regain possession of their estates,
they would, for their own selfish purposes, hazard the
safety of the throne and all the existing institutions of the
country. The evil is, that the French Government, by
recognising the absolute right of the emigrants to be in-
demnified as Royalist sufferers by the Revolution,lias opened
a door to claims which can never to the tenth part be
El-anted. All France, if it were sold to-morrow, could
not pay the sums already demanded by way of indemnity
for the losses occasioned by the Revolution. The selection
of any particular class of sufferers was necessarily unjust
towards those to whom it was intended to deny relief,
but to none certainly was indemnity less due than to the
emigrants, whose base and cowardly desertion of their coun-
try led to all the calamities of the time. If they had re-
mained at home and done their duty, Loris XVI. might
yet have reigned, and France and Europe been spared the
mischiefs of a convulsion which shook all States to their
foundations.

The affairs of Portugal appear to occupy the attention
of the French Journalists chiefly. They speak of the late
change of Ministry there as a complete triumph of the Eng-
lish Cabinet. There can be no doubt that such is the
fact. The Holy Alliance is again defeated, without even
an apparent struggle, and Mr. C.t.srsitxu insures the suc-
cess of English interests, which indeed are identical with
those of the whole civilized world, without giving the par-
ties most interested a reasonable cause of quarrel. This
is scandalous and vexatious, not only to them, but to our
own Opposition, who will doubtless, now that the Session
of Parliament has commenced, revenge themselves for their
disappointment.
Two of the Generals (ExcEr.mAris and BRENNIER
DE MONTNIORAND) placed on the retired list by the
Royal Ordinance issued in December, have been re-
stored to active service. This act reflects honour on the
liberality of CHARLES X., but why not rescind the Ordi-
nance altogether?

The Paris Papers of Saturday state, that letters had beeu
received at Bordeaux from Buenos Ayres, dated the 14th
of November, confirming the intelligence of the complete
defeat of CANTARAC by Bouvxa. The news bad reached
Buenos Ayres by express.

According to the German Papers received last night it
appears that the dissensions among the Greeks are com-
pletely suppressed. At St. Petersburg!' it was expected
that some communication would be made respecting the
GreAs, by Mr. STRATFORD CANNINO; but we are told
that the Russian Cabinet will not listen to any proposal for
sanctioning the independence of this brave and noble
people. It is even stated that a Note has beat addressed to
the Court of Vienna, engaging that Power to adin re to the
principles of the Holy Alliance against all changes in
existing institutions. We know of no policy more base
and hollow than that of Russia towards the Greeks. IVhen
the conquest of Turkey was the object of the Muscovites,
eves y effort was used to stir up the Christians of the Morea to
insurrection. Promises and rewards were scattered in abun-
dance, and every artifice of intrigue was used to provoke re-
bellion ; but now that it suits the purposes of the Court of
St. Peteraburgb to maintain the " powers that be," the
Greeks are so be surrendered to the horrors of &it) and

Irsara, if the Maiometans be competent to inflict that fate
upon them. The Creeks, however, are beyond the danger
of relying upon Use friends. They know that their safety
depends solely on their own valour and fortitude ; and they
will persevere in achieving their independence, until it be
established in derpite of all who would wish to subvert it.
The good will aid pleasure of the Autocrat of All the
Russias is not rt the law of either Western or Eastern
Europe.

By the John Barry, which has arrived from Bombay,
from whence she ;ailed on the 25th September, we learn
that the cotton crop had failed. When this vessel left
Bombay, cotton lad risen from 140 to 160 rupees. We
regret to ad.!, that a famine was apprehended, in conse-
quence of the total failure of the rice crop, owing to the
continued drough. The private letters that have been
received by this slip represent the Burmese war as by no
means likely to be speedily settled. It was expected that the
troops would soon ye able to take the field, as the wet season
was nearly over. By a Calcutta paper of the 26th August,
we observe that Cal. 141`13EAN had resigned the command of
the Madras division of troops, employed against the King
of Av A, and that Col. Dunn FRAZER had been appointed
his successor. Orders had been issued for the Ist Euro-
pean regiment to march against MAI/NI:COO Row FAT,.
N AKER, but they had subsequently been countermanded,
he having submitted to the orders of his master, DowLAII
Row SCINDIN. The surveying ships, Discovery and
Psyche, it was expected, would leave Bombay about the
end of September, to cottinue the survey of the Persian
Gulph, the examination of which was completed to the
entrance of the Island of Bahrein.

By the notices given yesterday in Parliament it would
appear that this is likely to prove a busy Session with re-
spect to Irish affairs. In the Upper House a debate will
take place this evening, on a motion to be made by the
Marquis of Latssnowts, for the production of all the
official despatches relative to the origin, progress, and
nature of the political societies now existing in Ireland.
But, what is of more importance, in answer to a question
from the same Noble Lord, the Earl of LtvEasooc stated,
that the motion he intends to bring forward on Thursday
se'linight, for an inquiry into the state of Ireland, would
be of the most general and comprehensive nature, not in
any degree restricted like that of last Session. In this
attention to the best interests of their country, the Irish
people must see the sure prospect of their delivery from
the evils from which they at present suffer. It is to Par-
liament, and not to the factious bodies of their own
creation, that they must look for relief and improvement.
Never did kinder feelings prevail towards Ireland than at
this moment. We hope these sentiments may not be
changed by any misconduct of the Irish themselves.
In the Lower Ilouse Mr. Hums gave notice of his in-
tention to indict upon his hearers the repetition of two
speeches on two successive days, which he delivered last
Session-one intended to prove that the Church Establish-
ment of Ireland should be reduced almost to nothing; the
other, that the Vice-Regal Governnient should be quite
abolished. If he could succeed, his next measure should
in consistency be to sell cff the Royal Palaces, and send
the lit.c to dine at a chop-house for the good of the com-
monwealth.

All tlto 91nnoy Marlr.ta were buoyant yesterday, from
their opening to their closing. Consois for money coin-
menced at 931. They almost immediately rose to I,
and closed at The Account bargains were done at 93k.
The Foreign Stocks were even better than the Eng-
lish. The business in them was very brisk. Austrian
Bonds were done at 07/. Brazilian at 89. Neapolitan
Scrip at 641 French Rentes 103 50—Ditto Scrip 50.
Greek Bands, at one part of the day, were a good deal
sought after ; a proof that the cause of independence
amongst that interesting people, notwithstanding the in-
ternal feuds that have taken place, is thought to be secure
by the City Speculators. We have seldom seen lighter
markets, without any immediate apparent reason beyond
general confidence in the conduct of the Administration,
which we think manifests itself every day more strongly in
the City. Mines, and Shares of every class, were rather on
the advance.

Ntw M XlC•ar LoAN.—Yesterday, at one o'clock, the
bidding' for the New Mexican Loan were received at the
City of London Tavern. Mr. Barclay then intimated to
the gentlemen in the room, that he was ready to receive
tenders sealed up. Mr. Morgan immediately put his tender
in the box, and was followed by Mr. Stokes for B. A.
Goldsmidt and Co. These were the only tenders made.
Mr. Barclay desired the persons who had made tenders to
accompany him to an adjoining room. Mr. Barclay shortly
returned to the room, where the meeting was opened, and
announced that B. A. Goldsmidt and Co. were the highest
bidders. We understand that these parties'. took it at
86:7, and that Mr. Morgan offered 861. 9s. 4d. The Loan
bears interest at 6 per cent.
Letters and papers have been received from Jamaica.
The Gazette of the 11th of December contains an extract
of an Act of the Assembly, authorising a loan of .300,000/.
for the island, to be contracted for in England, at or under
the rate of six pounds per cent. interest per annum.
Accounts have been received from the Isle of France to
the Ist November, but they contain nothing new. The
Arethusa has arrived from the Cape of Good Hope. She
has brought no news of any importance. She touched at
St. Helena, which island she left on the 16th December.
The Upton Castle may now be shortly expected. She
was the next vessel that would sail from Bombay; her de-
parture was fixed for the 15th November.
We have been favoured with the perusal of a very im-
portant document—extracts of an intercepted dispatch of
General Camerae to the Viceroy of Peru, after the battle
of the 7th of August. The extracts which we derive are
from such a source of intelligence, that we have no doubt
of their authenticity. The letter is
.private and confiden-
tial, and mentions that lie was superior in numbers to Bo-
liver, that his positions were advantageous, yet in the mo-
ment of attack his cowardly troops gave way. The letter
then goes on to mention his intention as to the line of
march, and requests that all the disposable force should
assemble in the vicinity of Cusco. This document seems
to add to the probability that a desperate and decisive en-
gagement has taken place in the vicinity of Cusco.—Globe.
We understand that the first dividend on the debts
proved under the joint cotumissipn against Marsh, Stracey,
Fauntleroy, and Graham, are in course of payment at the
late banking-house in Berneri-street.
NE.WCOMEN'S BANK.—A very numerous and respectable
meeting of the Creditors was held on Friday, at the late
Banking-house, pursuant to advertisement, to receive the
Report of the Committee, appointed on a former day, to in-
vestigate the state of the accounts. Mr. Vandeleur was in
the Chair.—Mr. Mullen, one of the Committee, read the
Report, as also a schedule, by which the debts of the Bank
were stated to amount to 251,6631. 18s. Sd., to meet
which there was property estimated to amount to
278,7881. 9s. 241., leaving a deficit of 2,8731. 95. 6d. This
deficiency, Mr. Mullen observed, would be amply met by
the half-year's rents to be due at May next.—Dublin Even-
ing Paper.
The Champion, Orestes, and Pylades, are to sail again
shortly, for the purpose of deciding the difference between
Captain Hayes, Professor Inman, and Sir Robert Seppings.
They are previously to undcrgo'such alteration's as will
bring the various plans of building to perfection. The
Rose and the Pandora, also built upon peculiar plans, are
to sail in company.
The facts elicited in the late investigation at Fermanagh
have induced the Government to remove the whole of the
police from that district, and to order others to supply their
place.—lrish Paper.
