LONDON, TUESDAY, Juta 14, 182.5.

The Paris Papers of Saturday are exceedingly barren.
They contain neither news nor speculation worth extract-
ing excepting that which relates to the Greeks.
The correspondence of the Journal des DeLats an-
nounces that another important victory has been gained
by the"l'atriots. lßasun ( Pacnt, it appeareby this ac-
count, despairing of success in his invasion of the Morea,
had determined to abandon his enterprise and return to
Candia. He had embarked for eight, but was becalmed;
the Greek fleet under MIAULIS came upon him and the
Greek hero CANARIS threw himself into the midst of the
Egyptian vessels and burned them. The loss of 'the Ma-
hometans was immense. The whole coast was illuminated
with the conflagration. Seventy shipt were destroyed or
captured, and it was believed that I BRA/1161 PACTIA him-
self had perished in the general catastrophe. A report was
current at Constantinople, that his father, the Viceroy of
Egypt, had died suddenly, but it 'is probable that if this
fact were true, we should have had the intelligence direct
from Alexandria.

PARIS, Jtrlfr IT.
Extract ftom the proets verbal of the ceremonies of the coronation
of his Majesty Charles X.
On Monday, 30th May, at ten o'clock in the morning, the
foreign Ambassadors and Ministers paid their respects to the King
and the Royal Family.
His Excellency the Apostolic Nuncio complimented the King in
the name of the Diplomatic Body, in these terms :
" Sire—The Diplomatic Body, deeply affected by the august
ceremony which they have just witnessed, and by all the moiler.
tions that it calls forth, hastens to offer to your Majesty the tribute
of their felicitations.

" After beg reverses followed by events so marvellous, that we
should in vain endeavour to explain them by purely human causes,
one of the Kings, your predecessors, received in this ancient city
the holy unction which had flowed on the forehead of Clovis.
" Tried, Sire, by greater misfortunes,but which neverahook your
Royal Soul, Providence has conducted you in a manner no less
marvellous to the foot of the same altar where Charles VII. again
took possession of this glorious crown, the splendor of which is
still heightened by your virtues.
" In seeing religion, which alone consolidates thrones, conse-
crate the beginning of your reign, Europe participates in the hopes
which France has conceived of It, at the same time that it joins
with it in forming the most ardent wishes for the happiness of your
Majesty, which is inseparable from the public felicity, which finds,
Sire, the surest pledge in your wisdom, your goodness, and your
noble character."

The King answered—
" Sir,—On an occasion so interesting to religion and the mo.
narchy, I am happy to see myself surrounded by the representation
of all the Sovereigns of Europe ; I am very sensible to all that yen
have just said to me in the name of the Diplomatic Body. I have
the firm confidence that tills august ceremony will promote the hap_
! pines, of my people, and 1 shall use all my efforts to maintain the
pears. and harmony which at present subsist between all the Powers.
I hope that God will bless my efforts; we can do nothing without
hint. Gentlemen, I beg you to make known to your masters the
sentiments by which I am animated, and my gratitude for the in.
terest they have taken in my Coronation."

At the breaking up of the Diplomatic Meeting. M. de !Alive
delivered in the King's name the Coronation Medal to the
Foreign Ambassadors and 31inisters.

Pants, JrNE 10.
The following letter, written yesterday from Harm, has been
communicated to us:—
" I hasten to communicate to you a piece of newt highly interest-
ing
to the French merchants, and which we received to-day by way
of Jaeqmel.
" English goods Imported Into Haiti, are to pay henceforth a
duty of 12 per cent., that is, the same as all other nations. Coffee
exported from the ports of the Republic, is to pay only 211 gourdes
and 40 cents. instead of 39, which it paid before, the territorial
duty included.

1; Haitians at length se* their error; they have long

I that they were protected by the EnglLO', but the last application
they made to that nation torecolmize their independence having
been unsuccessful, they have resolved not to favour it more than
others. Ally this last act, which is entirely io favour of the
French Merchants, at length open the eyes of our Ministry."

VAXTE, filar 4.
The Greeks are once more victorious ; both officers and men have
contributed another page to the history of the regeneration of
Greece. Peter Marromichalis, Marrocordato (whom the (Mental
Spectator wished to render suspected), Constantine Botzaris, Anat.
',restores, 'Andrew Metaxas, and a crowd if brave Greeks, afar
having overcome the Egyptians who landed in the Peloponnessus,l
had succeeded in driving them on board the squadron, near Mcdtn,
and in which I brahim-Patha, reduced to despair, proposed to em.
bark from so fatal a country. Ills vessels then at anchor at the
Island of Sapienza, accordingly, on the 10th, drew near to land, and
the whole of the 11th was occupied in taking in all the troops; wound-
ed, and baggage they possibly could. On account of a N.W. wine,
blowing in his teeth, Admiral Mauna was not able to impede
their manceurres ; but the wind having abated, and shifting to the
South, the hero of Greece, Constantine Canaris, who commanded
the vanguard in a fire-ship, in the middle of the night sailed into
the midst of the Egyptian fleet, and it was soon perceived that he
had succeeded in grappling with a frigate of the enemy's. Two
other fire.ships were equally fortunate, and the fire having
spread, the conflagration illumined Cabrera, the Greek island,
Sapienza, and the ptecipices of Mount Egialeus. The sight
row became truly terrible; on all sides were seen vessels
grappling, runhing foul, flying, and sinking, mingled with the
shrieks of soldiers and sailors in the burning vessels. Several ships,
however, succeeded in gaining the open sea, and it is from six de.
maged transports just arrived in our port that we received the first
news of the grand disaster experienced by the Mahometans, whom
ideals estimated to amotmt to nearly seventy vessels wrecked, burnt,
and sunk. The west was covered with fires, and it wan thought
that Ibrahim Paella had perished in this frightful catastrophe.

In another column we have the satisfaction to comes.
nicate exclusively the official ratification of the last Creel
loan. This important document was received yesterday.
It arrives at a happy moment, accompanied or rather pre-
ceded by the tidings of victory. The public faith thus
solemnly pledged by the legislators of Gt}ece, was all that
was requisite to raise its credit to a level with that of any
other just and independent state. Its resources are amply
sufficient to bear the charges which its struggle for national
existence has entailed upon it. The unprincipled coin-
bination by which the Greek Scrip has been depretsed,
must now cease to have effect; and we confidently anticipate
that before the remaining instalments arc called for, it will
entirely overcome the opposition to which alone its decline
bas been attributable.

The Abstract of Returns printed by the order of the
House of Commons respecting the payment of the wagts
of labour out of the poor rates, is a document of consider-
, able importance. In another part of the paper we have
given a statement of the usual rate of wages in the several
counties of England. 11'•'e observe with much pleasure
that the number of unemployed labourers asking for as-
sistance from the parish, is much diminished within the
last few years. This is a gratifying proof of the improve-
ment of agricultare. The pernicious practice of paying
the labourers a part of their wages out of the poor rates, is
continued in too many districts. The condition of the
labourer is almost uniformly better in point of wages
where he is left to his own unaided exertions. The ap-
pointment of select vestries and assistant overseers has teen
generally beneficial. In a few instances, the result is
doubtful, but the advantages in most of the experiments
have been decidedly favourable. The rate of wages, it will
be observed, is much the highest in the Northern counties,
in which parochial relief is administered with much more
regard to its proper application, than in other parts of the
country. Married labourers receive no allowance for their
children except in case of illness, or where the families are
extraordinarily large. The peasantry, we know, are there
as comfortable and happy as their situation in life will
permit them to be. Improvident marriages seldom occur;
and the labourers have a just pride in preserving their
characters from the degradation of pauperism.

CITY, MONDAY EVENING.

Although the business in the British Funds was exceedingly
limited ; prices were by no means heavy ; having even improved
upon the advance that took place on Friday. Consols for the
opening were done at 901 91, and the Reduced Annuities at 90,
89j 90.

The transactions in the Foreign Market were, for the greater
part, confined to Spanish Stock, which maintained itself firmly
notwithstanding the official announcement of the Loan has not
been made, and the efforts that are using by a ce,-taln party to hare
it understood that no loan is negotiated for. However, some large
purchases were made in the Bonds of 1821, at 244 1, and in those
of 1823 at 194. Greek Scrip continued at Friday's quotation, 19,
114 discount, and the Bonds were 46, 8. Danish Scrip was a shade
better ; the last quotation of it was 3.4 4 discount. Brazilian ditto,
was discount. Colombian Bonds were at 86, and Mexican
Scrip at si di,count.
The Shares were generally better ; but the business was not ex.
tensive. Some bargains were done in Pasco Peruvian Sham at
H, 12; in the New Potosi at 64 ; in those of the General Mining
Association at 12, 13 ; and in the United Mexican Shares at
24, 6.

The William and Henry and the Georgiana have arrived
from Grenada, but the letters and papers they bring are of
old dates.
The Milan Gazette of ➢lay 28th is chiefly occupied with
long accounts of the visits ot the Emperor and Empress of
Austria to the various public Institutions of all kinds, and
a description of a splendid ball given by the city in honour
of their Majesties, on the 26th, in the Theatre della Scala,
which was fitted up with great magnificence for the oc-
casion.

By accounts received yesterday from Navarre, it appears
that at St. Ander there has been a very serious disturbance.
The troops forming the garrison being in absolute want of
the necessaries of life, assembled tumultuously and com-
mitted the greatest excesses, crying—" Down with the
absolute King, down with the clergy, down with the Go-
veinment." The Authorities interfered, and succeeded,
after making concessions, and promising their interference
with the State to procure redress for their actual grievances,
in inducing them to retire ; but in the night several officers,
and some merchants, suspected of taking part in the affair,
were arrested, and immediately sent to Valladolid, to
await their destiny. Since the withdrawing of the dis-
posable French army, the Constitutionalists show them-
selves in several parts of Spain particularly in Valsneis,
Gallacia, and the neighbourhood of Sarragossa.
The limitation of the subscription at Liverpool for a
piece of plate to be presented to Mr. Huskisson, having
been removed, a further subscription is going on. Several
individuals and associations have put down 100 guineas
each, and the amount subscribed for exceeds 2870 L
The anniversary festival of the Masonic Institution for
clothing, educating, and apprenticing the eons of deceased.
Freemasons, which takes place on Wednesday next, the
15th inst. is likely to be most numerously attended. His
Modal Highness the Duke of Sussex presides, and the Mar-
quis of Hastings hassignified his intention of being present.
The meeting is not confined solely to the Masonic breth-
ren, therefore any one desirous of supporting ao excellent
an institution maT attend. '
The Duke of 1 arentum (Marshal Macdonald) was yes-
tenlay evening, during the debate, introduced into the
House of Lords, near the throne, by Sir T._Tyrwhitt. lie
surveyed the House with great attention, and expressed his
gratibcation to Lord Beresford, who pointed out to bhp
the principal Peers then in the House.

SPANISH FINANCE.
A pamphlet has been lately published in Paris, relative
to the state of the Spanish finances, from which at this mo-
ment the following extract may not be uninteresting:—
" I shall not pretend," says the author, " to examine in
detail the different branches of the actual public re-
venue of Spain : the anarchy to which that country
is a prey, and the disorder of the administration will
not pa :nit me to give an estimation rigorously exact,
but the best information which I have obtained of
the state of the receipts for 1824, enables me to state
that they did slot exceed 2W millions of rials Vellon.
And Mr. Gat ray having estimated the disbursements at
530,267,000 riala, the deficiency for that year, for the cur-
rent expenses only, not including the national, or foreign
debts, is 590,268,000 riala. Das in vain to seek, in the con-
duct of the Spanish Government, for any act that deserves
the gratitude of the people submitted to Its authority,or can
render it respectable in the eyes of foreigners. In 1813, the
French Government paid to that of Spain, in virtue of the
Convention signed in November, 1813, eighteen mil-
lions of francs, to be distributed among the Spanish
citizens who wire creditors to France; but instead of mak-
ing this partition, Ferdinand applied eleven-twelfths of the
sum to the expenses of his meditated expedition against
America. Thus, while the King of Spain, in virtue of his
absolute power, disposes of the f.rtunes of his miserable
subjects, hundreds of them are seen in despair at I'aris, so-
liciting public charity. The English Government. in like
manner, remitted a large rum to his Catholic Majesty, as
an indemnity of the Spanish merchants engaged in the slave
trade. The Duke of Wellington, by a secret article in
the Treaty of November, 1815, obtained from the French
Government an indemnity for the re-establishment of Saint
Sebastian, destroyed by the British army. The, King of
Spain received this sum also ; but neither the merchants
nor the inhabitants of St. Sebastian have received a single
rial. The whole has been swallowed up in Cadiz and the
Isle of St. Leon. I shall terminate this part of my work
by declaring, upon the best authority, that the mass of the
Spanish debt amounts to more than fourteen thousand I
millions of rials."

Tits GatExs.—The following extract of a letter re-
ceived yesterday from Ancona, dated May *7, leaves no
shadow of doubt as to the late successes of the Greeks:—
" A vessel arrived here last night from Zantc, and brought me
letters dated 10th and 12th May, of which I annex extracts for
your information. Their contents may be relied on, and the Cap-
tain of the vessel, in his declaration at our Health Office, reports
that the whole of the Turkish Meet (or Egyptian) has been destroy.
d. He also adds, that the army before Missolonghi has been
completely beaten by the Gresks.
• " Zaxxx. MAY 11
" An express arrived last night from the Mores. The Turkish
Meet, from 80 to 100 sail, are now in Modon, and ire continually
attacked by the Greeks. by day and by night. There seems to be
but little doubt of the Greeks succeeding in taking or destroying
some of them eventually.
" Zawrn, MAT It
" Sir Charles Sutton has just arrived In the Sybille. We have
certain intelligence that the Greeks base burnt 30 of the Turkish
Meet in the port of 3lotion. The Captain of a Genoese vessel has
just come in ; he was obliged to cut his cable and fly on account of
the fire. The Greeks are highly elated, for they had considered
blavarino as lost."

The Right Hon. Charles Richard Vaughan, Ambassador
