LONDON, SATURDAY, Nos-immix 13, 111511.

Last night the Paris morning and evening papers
e Wednesday, and the Flail,' of Thursday, reached
otr office. Those of Tuesday were also received in
du course of yesterday. From them we give some
extracts in another column. The papers of Wcd-
n.e!ay are singularly deficient of intelligence. The
✓ournal des Debuts is literally filled with quotations from
the first of a series of publications, about to be produced
by M. de CHATEAVIIIIT•NP. under the title of '• Letters
to a Peer of France." If we had space to bestow upon
the Noble Pamphleteer, our readers, we believe, are nut
desirous to be fatigued with the inexhaustible fecundity of
his pen. They will, perhaps, smile to hear that the Ex-
Minister has conferred the epithet of " The Good" upon
the new King. We will not deny that CHARLLIS X. ap-
pears to have deserved the appellation, so far as we can
estimate his character by the few acts he has yet performed
is his monarchical capacity ; but it is the very excess and
most revolting grossness of the basest adulation (and the'
readiest way to spoil him), thus to heap unbounded flat-
tery upon the reigning Sovereign. It may not be un-
amusing to our readers to give the passage to which we
al: ide :

" CHAILEP THY GOOD, who it better entitled to this popular
outran:: that. a great prince of his nee, has shown hiutseif worthy
I.:. lie gains all heart.; he welcomes all his subject.,
in whatever state of opposition they may have been formerly placed.
Th: public hate found with delight, a monarch quite the reverse
a: the portrait drawn by revolutionary caluinny. Moderate, indul.
ge-t, w:theut be just, he hears, lit watches, he studies
/lance. His ear is closed to no petition. lle calls together his
eau-eels often, and devotes himself, wits religious assiduity, to
int duties u a I:ing. We see that he knows the extent, and feel*
the wi-iight of his sceptre, er.d to relieve himself, in his sacred
functions, tie usocicter his glorious Son in his bilious."

The ether papers, excepting some smart attacks on the
two rtic-st nbnoxict,.. Ministers, VILLELE and Cohatk
are pine:pally occupied with :he details of the recent
ti:c French 2rtl G.-rman siverv.—The It'toi/e,
dated Ti.uriday, gists us the orders iesueil by the Greek
Gaverranent, r..srcting neutral st sw-,'.4 is the Turkish ver-
si:e, after the ternonstraisee-s of tzir Fitt-pt.:Rica Attain.
These orders are, as we have already stated, conformah:e to
the usages of ei..i:ized nations in similar cases. Front
the Csfi7gitun.a: hei we subjeiu an explanation of the al!rged
licit of Mir Fat 14:1SICS: ADAM to the Greek Government.
It appears that no such visit Las really taken place. The

Lord High Commissioner makes an annual tour through
the lonian Isles, and his ordinary and official circuit of
his own Government has been strangely enough mistaken
for a visit to the Greek authorities at Napoli di Romania !
It was not a little singular, however, that all the accounts
concurred in affirming it—English as well as foreign.

The Greek Government having no other care then that of
the preservation of the Greek nation% t.ishini to avoid
every thing that may lead to its destruction, published, on
tt.e information it had received, the proclamation of the 'nth
of Ala►, which concerned the European merchant ships which
was freighted at Constantinople and Alexandria, to convey the
enemy's troops to Greece: but the Go►ernment having learned that
the said vessels elo not convey the enemy's troops, but warlike
stores, provisions, kc., and as the Greek Government takes care
that neutrality, and the laws of nations, are observed in commerce
with all possible precision, and as far as the rights of war permit,
orders—

1. The European weeds freighted by the enemy to convey arms,
1111111Utlitb0,borses, provisions, end any other article for the use
of the enemy, an subject to the laws of neutrality, acd shall be
treated by our naval fortes according to the Image existing under
similar circumstances among the Europe:. Powers.

2. The present Ordinance shall be communicated to the Ad.
mirals of the Greek ravel force, and published in the Governtneut
Gazette. Copies shall be sect to all the Consuls, Vice.Cansuh,
and Agents of the European Powers, who are in the Greek
Archipelago.

NAPOLI DI ROMANIA, SEPT. 20.

The journals favourable to the Turks have seized with avidity
upon the discussions that have taken place between o:eat Britain
and the rising Government of Greece respecting neutral Teasels,
and they hare availed themselves of the opportunity to circulate
many reports unfavourable to the Greek cause. The ArrhUns
Wrenn., in particular, has occupied itself in giving its vicws and
feelings upon news pretended to be official. The last time this
journal spoke upon the subject it announced the High Commis.
a:oner, Sir Fan:MIMIC ADAM, was to have repaired to Napoli
di Romania, for the purpose of compelling, by threats, the
Greek Government to revoke its declaration of the 27th May,
and that the Commander of the English naval forces in the hledi.
terraneao was to have accompanied him,and have given effect to his
menaces by the presence of his squadron. All these communica-
tions arc unfounded. The voyage of Sir F. AnAse is confined to
the annual tour made by the Governor.Gencrel in the lonian Isles.
He merely went to the Island of Cerigo, without touching upon the
Greek coast ; and even if be had repaired to the capital, he would
not be under the necessity of entering into any discussion, because
the Greek Government had withdrawn its declaration of the 27th
May, and substituted a new regulation of the 17th August ; that
is. ten days Wore the English decree of the Gth September. which
was before the departure of Sir F. ADAM from Corfu. The Aus-
trian Observer, however, pretends that this act was not published
until the 15th of September.

The Lisbon Gazette yesterday brought the news of
another abortive revolutionary movement in that capital.
Whether this conspiracy was among the QuEr N'S party,
or the adherents of the late Cortes, we cannot learn ; but
we suspect, from the concealment of the names of the
guilty, who are therefore probably men of some rank, that
the treason was the work of the ultra-royalist friction, by
whom the KuvG's personal safety was, not long ago, me-
naced, under the rebellious guidance of the Infant Dos
Miocet.. This conjecture is corroborated by a statement
in the Etude, that all the officers of one regiment have
been arrested. The mutinous spirit of the Portugues:
military, it is notorious, arose from the intrigues of the
QVICEN'S agents, who urge the necessity of the KING'S
deposition, on the ground that he wants resolution to tuaie-
taM the rights of the Crown. We are glad to find, how-
ever, that the military performed their duty with fidelity, and
that the suspected criminals have all been seised and lodged
in prison, where they await the course of justice. We trust
that no false tendetaess towards them will be allowed to
operate as an inducement to future traitors to persevere;
but that the doctrines energetically asserted in the Royal
Order, issued from tl:e War Office on the day following the
suppression of the conspiracy, will be carried into execu-
tion with unsparing firmness against the plotters, whatever
may be their station. It will be impossible to es'ablish
any system of sound or rational government in Portugal,
until the utmost severity of the law has been inflicted upon
some of the leaders the party, whose object is to plunge
the whole Peninsula into one common mass of confusion
and misery, fer the purpose of instituting a blind and fa-
natical despotism. This party is powerful, and it has
hitherto been dealt with too leniently. No punishment of
moment followed the last insurrection. A Government
invites resistance that toes not seem to dare to punish it.
The King of Poky:GAL has shown himself sincerely de-
sirous of promoting tile welfare of his subjects by the
iniithiess and liberality of Lis sway. We hope he
will not be advised much longer to defer the pro-
mulgation of the Constitutional ('barter, by which he
intends to fix the political destiny of his suffering king-
dom. While he vigorously strikes the disaffected
noblesse, who are strongly knitted together by their
interests and prejudices, and have munitications in every
province, his Must Faithful Majesty, by contemporaneously '
laying the foundations of a wise and practicable representa-
tive system, would put an end at once and for ever to the
treasonable dissemiuns by which the public tranquillity is
violated, his authority shaken, and his life endangered.

We have heard the sarcastic proverb of " The Duvrt.
cormling Sin;" hut we never witnessed a more ludicrous
example of it than is to be found in the If.rnit.7llrrolJ
of yesterday. It was no doubt quite in character that a
Journal, which, a few days before, had endeavoured to
palm upon the public the letter Bigoted " IltNttY I'atNT-
Lt. Roy," as a genuine tourrnsu, should reproach the Chro-
nicle for publishing " two letters from Mrs. FAUNTLICROY,
written so long since as the years I SE.'ti and I s'2l." liowece,r,
when an act deserves castigation, one want(' not quarrel with
any broom from which a birolt is made. " It appears," says
the Hero/J, " that they were sent to that Paper by the ce-
lebrated Ex-Sheritf PARKINS, but how he got them into
his clutches is aJt stated." " With regard," it is

THE BRITISH PRESS.

added, "to the Paper in question,
we thought that its
Editor had in, mach hassamity, and too mach good lade,
TO mil,. lee letters of so old a date, and of such a
nature, at soca A MON ENT OF TIME. and under such dr-
eamstan:es, especially when furnished by such a man as
PARKINS.** Could any one suppose it possible that the
article which ends in this manlier, should begin thus :
" Is another pint of our Paper, WE lIA VL INSERTED from
a Morning Paper of yesterday two letters, which were
written so long since as the years 18i0 and ton, from
Mrs. Fauntleroy to her husband "!!
It is only in the Herald itself that one could seek for
any sample of absurdity to match this! To fall foul of a
brother Editor for exhibiting so much want of humanity
and good taste, as to 'miens., at such a moment as this, the
very letters which are copied is iAe rer?; same coltimns, is
really carrying inconsistency as far as it will go it is the
receiver if stolen goods gravely reading a lecture on the
immorality of the principal felon.
But although we have been induced to dispense a little
with our gravity at this foolish incoherency, we cannot
remark but with the most serious regret, that'utter.disre-
gard of every feeling which honourable minds regard as
sacred, which leads to the publishing of private letters,
which the basest treachery alone could have obtained, and
which, under any circumstance,—much less the circum-
stance under which these letters from Mrs. F. to her hus-
band, supposing them genuine, arc published,—ought on
no account to be made public. The daily press has of
late displayed a lamentable want of principle, in pub-
lishing anything,—no matter what,—that relates to any
individual in a situation to excite the public interest ; and
any trash, however vapid, if it is but made to connect itself
with the name of such individual, is put forward with the
most prominent importance. In the Morning Herald, for
instance, of Tuesday last, there is a long letter to the Edi-
tor, with " Mr. FA UN T LE SOT" at the top, in broad capitals,
containing a mass of insane rhodomontade, of which the
following paragraph will serve as a specimen :

" If our reason would revolt, if our piety would condemn, if our
hearts would shudder at the cold-blooded deed of priva:e revenge
foe a mere lan of property, hunting its victim through all the for.
malities of overt perscratiou, selattimg its appetite as protracted
rill:rm. and feasting on the spectsele of death, is the crime less—
b7s the guilt cozoislied by its being perpetrated by the coneurrtcee
of a whole cation—by the anal-headed murderer, our self-called
Chris:jam comotty; "

On the off:nce of forgery, the readers of the Herald are
enlig,litened in the umc letter by the following effusion :

" But, is it asked then. how will prorrty be protected? how
will the inevitable destruction of a commercial country.
be prevented? We are proud t Anir thr question proposed, and
congratulate man's nature on the react.e. ty. its dignify which such
a question involves. Then it is the fads, and dulls, and dances of
sociesy, that taJor are cruel, and it is in sheer ignorance and Grate
lack of mind and invention, that this recourse to bloa and tioknce
has originated."

What individual, out of ST. Luxes, ercr put forth such
delirious nonsense as this ; or what other Journalist could
have admitted it into a Newspaper that was meant to be
read beyond its walls?
We do not notice this foolish epistle in the Herald,
as being at all out of keeping with the usual cor-
tents of that Journal; quite the reverse we notice it
merely because it is the production of the same pen which
manufactured the letter signed '• HENRY FRENTLEROI,"
which disgusted the public through the same medium.
The letter from which we have transcribed the above pas-
sage was first sent to the British Press for publication, and
would certainly have been thrown behind the fire, had it
not been left with the request that it might be returned, if
not inserted. We of course did return it, and it forth-
with found its way into the Herald, the receptacle for
" REJECTED ADDRESSES."

Matters on the Stock Exchange still continue remark-
ably dull. European Securities have fallen, and South
American not improved. Our own Funds are still in a
depressed state. The reasons assigned for this decline are,
rumours of disturbances in Portugal, and the withdrawing
of the French army from Spain ; for our own part, we are
inclined to attribute the want of spirit on the Exchange to
the total want of information to give it an impetus.
By the arrival of the Nassau from Singapore, which
iport she left on the 18:1, June, we have received papers
' and letters to the evening of that day, from which it ap-
pears that every thing is going on well in that important
and rising settlement. In another part of our paper will
be found an account of the tonnage of shipping, European
and native, which have touched at the island during tire
year ending January, 18,..q. Private letters of the Nth
and 18th June state, that the Burmese war is carrying on
with great vigour, and that it is likely to be of long conti-
nuance. Indeed, it must of necessity last for six months,
as the monsoon sets in in the lower part of the Bay of Ben-
gal as early as the middle of May, and the accounts of the
taking of Rangoon state, that the rains had s. t in heavily
at that period. Should the war be protracted, however pre-
judicial it may be to the funds of the Hon. Company, whose
coffers (thanks to the government of the Marquis of Hast-
ings) have for some time back been overflowing, it will be of
the last imp°, niece to those whose fortunes arc in India, and
cannot be got borne at the present low rate of exchange,
and to our own public securities, in which several millions
will be invested as soon a: exchange comes to ally thing
near par. There seems to be no doubt that the rate of
freights must continue high until the war be over, as the
great mass of the shipping is employed in the transport
service. The produce of the Malay Archipelago is stated
to be falling, and British manufactures, particularly piece
goods, are bringing a good price, and as the market is not
overstocked, are likely to improve. Fire-arms, and other
munitions of war, are in great demand for the Siam and
Cochin-China markets, consequently yield excellent prices.
By a private letter, dated Singapore, 20th June, we
learn that the war with the Burmese was carried on with
the greatest vigour. Three hail been some severe engage-
ments, but the particulars were not known.

Despatches were yesterday recvived at the Foreign
Office, from Sir William A'Court, our Ambassador at
LisSon. The) contain an account of the late revolutionary
conspiracy, which does not materially differ from the detaiLi
in the Li.dkaa Gozrtie.

The Ike, Captain Javieson, arrived at Liverpool on
Tuesday from Winans ; sailed on the Ist ult. All was
tranquil in the colony.

We hear that the gentlemen who lately purchased the
lands of Motherwell, for the fire Institution of co-operation
and equality, according to the plan of Mr. Owen,
been oireted, by a neighbouring proprietor, an advance in
price of nine thousand pounds, or more than 30 per cent.
A part of the above estate, cultivated by the spade, has this
year produced yellow Aberdeen turnips, which the manager
estimates at 34.1 tons per acre, exclusive of tops. They were
sold on the field at the rate on en average of la per acre.
One acre went as high as g3L—Glaszwe Pa per.

On Monday last the Honourable Sir Robert L Dundas,
K.C.B. and K.T.S., (brother to Lord Dumb's.) of Aske,
