LONVON, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1826.

We have received the French Papers of the sth, and the
node of the Gth inst. Their contents are not of much
importance, but we subjoin a few extracts :
Tits Republican° (Colombian) carried into Gibraltar Roads,
on the 9th of this month, a Catclonian vessel, which it had
just captured, and fifty prisoners. The Captain has sect
pmponals of exchange to the Spanish General, Miranda, Corn.
'milder of the Camp of St. Roch, who immediately wrote to 31s.
arid for instructions on the subjea. This Captain is a person named
Oanilca's, who has been settled many years at Gibraltar, and who,
alter having remained the Spanish flig in 11123, to cruise against
the french, now takes the Colombian colours to cruise against
the English. Among the absurd exaggerations in the French end
English Papers, relative to the bands which have shewn themselves
in Andalusia, the meat ugiarkable is unquestionably the account
which states that they had carried ofr two squadrons cf French
011valry, and taken them to the frontiers of Portugal.

PARIS, Jucy 5.
The Comte Daurcnurt was to embark on the dd of this month,
g Toulon, for Napoli di Romania.
The Austrian Obscrrer publishes, from the French Papers, the
offers of submission drawn up by the National Assembly of the
Greeks at Pladus, as well as the protest of Demetrius Ypsilanti ;
and it adds that accounts from Corfu of the lst June say that much
more moderate promos]s were under discussion, respecting which
there is no certain information.

Brussels Papers to the 6th July have been received.
We give a short extract:—
ANTWERP, JULY 1.

According to article 173, of the fundamental law, a Supreme
Tribunal, having the name of the High Court, is to be formed, to
superintend the administration of justice throughout the kingdom.
If we may believe the reports of the labours of the commission,
which is to propose the organization of the tribunals, the city or
:Hahne!" is indicated as the seat of the High Court. Another re-
port, which is less probable and less credited, is, that Buda,
which has lately obtained a school of artillery, is recommended.
IWe consider Moline, to have by far
.the best claim, on account
of its situation and its previous history. Its situation is unexcep-
tionable, in the centre of the kingdom, and it was the seat of the
Great Council, the First Court of Justice of the Netherlands for
three centuries, and till the union of Belgium with France.

BIit'SSELS, 3CLY 4.
A British Cabinet Messenger passed through this city last night,
on his way from Vienna to London, with despatches.
A letter front Vienna of the 2tl June says,—" it seems that
our Cabinet takes much interest in the affair of the free navi-
gation of the Rhine, which was laid down as a principle by the
Great Powers in lllLi ; and that in consequence the negotiations
with the Government of the Nethcrlaries, on the obstacles which it
opposes to the free navigation, will be prosecuted with great ac-
tivity, in order to remove the existing diflicultics:'

The bustle of the Elections having now subsided, curio-
sity seems to be directed more steadily to foreign objects ;
and the almost forgotten subject of Greece occupies once
more a little of the public attention. Lord COCHRANE'S
setting out for the Mediterranean, and the formidable pre-
parations which have been made to render his services
effectual in favour of the Greeks, have given a new impulse
to the hopes of the well-wishers of this great cause, at a
moment when it seemed to be sunk in irretrievable cala-
mity. As to the point on which Lord COCHRANE; is
likely to direct his attacks, it is scarcely possible to say any
thing at present, and it is probably not yet fixed even in
his own mind. An attack on Alexandria has been men-
tioned, as well as a descent on Crete; but his Lordship
will be guided, in all probability, by circumstances of
which we cannot in this country he supposed to be
aware, though we are certainly inclined to think
that his expedition is not of a random nature. We
have frequently taken occasion on this subject to point
out the policy of an attack upon Egypt, as the hest method
of assisting Greece, in case this country should feel itself
called upon to take a part in the contest. The same rea-
soning will, in some measure, apply in the case of Lord
COCHRANE'S expedition. His Lordship has an opportunity,
by an attack upon Egypt, of saving two Christian Nations
by a single effort ; for such an attack would recall the
Egyptian troops from Greece, and would, at least, be the
means of procuring more favourable laws for the Copts,
with regard to commerce and the internal regulations of the
country. As to the ability of Lord COCHRANE to accom-
plish these objects, there cannot betwo opinions. The
countries on which he has to operate are countries pecu-
liarly liable to attack from a naval force. We can scarcely
venture to hope for an expedition from the Red Sea, on
the part of the East India Company ; but we cannot but
suggest the propriety of a scheme so evidently practicable
in itself, so important to the interests of our Indian
