We have received the- Etude, dated September 3. The

falowing are extracts :-
IFrom the EtuUe of the 3d September.
SALONICA, JUICE 11.

On the lot of this month Omer Pacha left the town at the head of
part of his troops, and of a hundred Janissarie3, for the purpose of
repulsing a considerable corps of Greeks, who, some days before,
tad landed at the bottom of the Gulf of Cassandra, and penetrated
to the village Poleros, which they pillaged. Three days after flies-
aergers arrived in baste requiring assistance; it then became known
that the Greek flotilla eonsiste9 of 36 vessels, of which 12 were brge
vacs, armed with Z,KO men. of whom 2,000 bad landed ; that
tl•ey bad vigorously resisted the Pecha, and killed CO of his men,
among whom were several officers of his household; 300 men were
immediately raised in Selectee ; and Achmrt and Yuma Bey pro-
-0.-edesi to raise recruits in the villages. '2 he reinforcements ar-
riving in time, obliged the Greeks to re-embark. Their loss
arsounted to ten men killed, altase heads were immediately sent as
err; hies to Constantinople. It is expected that, after a usele%.land-
ins at Sitio, this flotilla will attempt another landing at Monte-
Santo. The captain of the vessel that brings the news says that
be saw the flotilla anchored in the Gulf of lialonica. The city was
IR gre-t consternation.

.11.* NE 29.
The Greek corps which some days since landed, and penetrattd
as tar as Poinns, has attempted another landing at Sikia ; but the
sudden anival of the Pacha prevented it. The Greeks are gone, •
and we have not heard any thing about them since. The affair of
Poi:ens hes cost the Peals dear. More thso thirty chosen men,
who were all old servants of the celebrated All-Tebelen, ■nd held
a high rank is Albania, have been killed. They fell by his side in
defending his person, which at times was much expesed."
:\chtnet-Bey is returned to Salonics. He makes a melancholy pic-
ture of the treatment received by the peasants from the petty agents
nt. the Paella, who, he sap, all want to he treated like Viziers,
and spread devastation wherever they appear. It is said that scri-
ms remonstrances have been made against this conduct by the
l'acha of Sates, who is the landed proprietor of the villages so ill
treated 4 and that his complaints not being attended to, he has ad.
stressed himself to Constantinople. it is said that a messenger,
lately arrived from the last-mentioned capital, has brought to Omer
Pacha a finesses and a banet-scheriffornich ordain the estatliahinent
en the Nixam-redid at Salonica. Srlim Pacha, of Bosnia, a native
of this place, is daily expected here, and will encamp outside of
the town, for the purpose of assisting Omer-Vrione. The Janis.
series are thrown into consternation, and others are rejoiced. There
are many secret meetings, and the publication of the Semen may
occasion disturbances. But the well-known firmness of our Paella,
and the dread which he bat inspired In the Janissaries, is likely to.
avert mischief.
Note of the Etuite.—lAter intelligence from Salonica announces
Itte perfect subm6sian of the Janissaries of that city.
We find the following in the Gaz..tte de Atigsboarg:—
" Letters from Constantinople announce that dlr. Stratford Can-
ning (probably in consequence of the representations previously
made to him by the Porte) has sent to the Divan a note, in which
he declares that Lord Cochrane is an adventurer escaped from
England; and he adds, in casette should fall into the hands of the
Turks, he would not be claimed by the English Government, since
ne is oolongs', considered a subject of his Britannic 31ajesty."
I,From the Gazette of Genoa.]
Verge Armiro, 2tith June (tit!: July), 1821 i.

'lO his Excellency the President,—l have just this moment
learned by an express sent by my uncle, Maitromicale, of Cap°
Grasso, that the number of the enemy left on the field of battle at
Zimova was more than a thousand. The express was brought by
ore of the combatants, who informs us that out of ',MK) Arabs, who
had disembarked, scarce 200 saved themselves by jumping inio
the sea, and taking refuge in three of their barks.
Whilst they were precipitating themselves into the water, our
1,,,..1,1e pursued them in order to kill them, or take them alive.
e tire from the enemy's ships did not abate their courage in put-
.., :r.g the Arabs. The ships then sheered oft'. We have the
F.eat•Ure to assure your Excellency of the truth of this fact.

By the report in another part of the British Press of this
day it will be seen that the transactions about the Greek
Loans are not likely to continue much longer so mysterious
a, they have hitherto been. The account read on the
occasion of the Meeting agrees in many respects with that
which was published in the British Press of July 11, and
was copied from us by most of the other papers. There arc
se%er.:l points, however, in which, either from the mis-
takes of printers or transcribers, some very considerable
differences are to be found in the two statements; and we ,
are still afraid] from the manner in which we received the'
present account, that some mistake has crept into it. IVe
lie g!al to find that confidence is likely to be restored to
s'ccies of stock. To mere stockjobbers we never
would recommend Greek Bonds as a speculation; but, for
ti:cse who can spare a little, there is no mode of investing
their money which is likely Io be more beneficial to man-
kind. It is the philanthropist, not the stockjobber, who
ought to deal in Greek Bonds.

Hy an article in the Br it "'rest of yesterday it will
be seen that the shipping interest is some quarters is not
et convinced of the soundness of the principles which

guided his Ms., EsTv's Ministers in procuring the repeal
of the Navigation Laws. We coped the article in pursu-
ance of our maxim of looking steadily at both sides of
every subject ; but we do not in any respect agree with the
persms who have signed the document in nuestion. A writer
in llidc4 wood's Ma z,nrthie has made a variety of remarks
on the same subject, carrying an appearance of plausibility
which might impose upon many of the cursory readers of
magazines. They are in the true tone of those ultra prin-
ciples, which, we arc happy to find, have almost disap-
peared from the London press—particularly from that
portion of it to which we ourselves belong. Notwith-
standing the strong inclination which some journals occa-
sionally seem to have to oppose Ministers in this case
—whether it he from old habits, or from a fear of los-
ing their credit aethe reputed organs of Government, we
do not find any daily paper in London willing to declare
itself the advocate of the exploded doctrines of last cen-
tury. This task is reserved for a magazine of the northern
metropolis ; and thus the very quarter from which political
economy first issued in a scientific shape is destined, it
seems, to be that where its conclusions are to be most
obstinately resisted. There is one point upon which we arc
willing fairly and fully to meet the writer in question,
—the probability of a diminution of the consumption of
various articles in consequence of the repeal of the Navi-
gation Laws. The writer assumes that the business of ship-
building will be permanently injured—that the money re-
ceived for freights will be diminished—that the constunption
of agricultural and other produce will be less in con-
sequence of the employment of foreign shipping. The
building of ships is precisely in the same situation as
agriculture in this country. Great advances have been
made in every thing that relates to the perfection of the
form and structure, but very little has been done till lately
in facilitating the details of labour. This is the invariable
consequence of restrictive laws. They leave the manu-
facturer at his ease, without fear of competition, and con-

sequently prevent all efforts to improve his ordinary pro-
cesses. The reasoner in Bhwkwood's Magazine goes on
the assumption that the Corn Laws will continue as at
present; for lie asserts that foreigners could navigate their
ships cheaper than we can. It is thus that one restrictive
law is connected with another. The late measure of his
Majesty's Ministers, followed up as it will no doubt be
in the new Parliament by farther improvemoiits, will
render all those reasonings fut;le which proceed on
an assumption of this sort. The writer seems also
to be ignorant of a well-known fact, which by the
way is an argument of great weight in favour of
an alteration in the ('urn Laws; and he has un-
wittingly set that argument in a very remarkable light in
his different remarks on the injury likely to arise to the
agricultural interest from the employment of foreign ship-
ping. The fact to which we refer is, that British vessels,
inconsequence of the dearness of corn in this country, do
at present, at least partially, victual at foreign or colonial
pops. The petition from Greenock, which we published
on the day that his Majesty's Ministers assembled to deli-
berate on the measures connected with the meeting of
Parliament, states that the repeal of the Corn Laws would
materially benefit that port, from the encouragement which►
it would give to the biscuit trade. It is obvious, therefore,
that the continuation of restrictive laws has actually pro-
duced in their case the very effect which the writer expects
'to arise from the repeal of the Navigation Laws. The
distress which has in sonic degree touched the shipping
interest has been owing to nothing hilt the necessity of
repealing these laws before repealing some other restrictive
enactments; and we will venture to assert that the absence
of the prohibitions laid on the import trade, both of corn
and other articles, will more than counterbalance the effects
of foreign competition. In fact, the non-restrictive system
is essentially favourable to commerce, because it proceeds
upon the assumption that one country, and one part of a
country, is more adapted than another for a particular spe-
cies of produce; and the shipowner, instead of calling for
a return to the old system, should insist on the repeal
of every enactment which tends to favour the raising
in this country of any species of produce which can
be better raised in another. In some cases foreign vessels
may, in the new state of things, find employment where
none but British were formerly engaged ; but so many new
sources of trade must eventually be opened, by the measures
of which the repeal of the Navigation Laws form a part, that
the shipping interest will have no reason to complain of
their partial losses. The writer in Blackwood's Magazine
has entered into some calculations to prove that the com-
parative cheapness of foreign freights is no real gain to the
country, because the labour of a number of Englishmen,
equal to that of the foreigners employed, must thus be left
without a market. There is one simple answer to all ob-
jections of this sort :—All the methods of employing labour,
either by laud or sea, are capable of extension and improve-
ment, and that extension and improvement will never take
place if Ministers encourage inactivity by protecting en-
actments.

CITY, IlioxDAY EVENING.

There has been a slight re-action in Consols during the'
day ; but, at the close of the market, they hail recovered,
and showed a quotation of 79. No particular cause
was assigned for the depreciation beyond the fact of some
large sales at 783 , which sent them down to 781, from
which, however, they gradually recovered to their closing
price. It seems generally agreed that the opening of the
ports ought not to affect the Stocks, inasmuch as a cer-
tain portion of produce, either of home manufacture or co-
lonial growth, must go in payment, or in part payment, of
the articles imported under the Order in Council in ques-
tion. There has been rather more doing than usual in
3 and 3 per Cent. Reduced, in consequence of their closing
to-morrow, preparatory to the dividend ; the former are
at 79a, and the latter at 86i. Exchequer Bills find a ready
market at 18 19, and India Bonds are equally in request
at 27 29.

In the Foreign Market Mexican Bonds have again
shown a disposition either to rise or fall 2 per cent. at the
command of the strongest operators in the market, as they
have been down to 50 during the day; and, at the close,
they showed a decline of f since Saturday, their price
being 511. The cause for this decline is asserted to be the
receipt of a letter at Lloyd's this morning from Barbadoes,
stating that the Ilussar frigate had left that island, on her
way to Jamaica, for England, and that therefore it was not
likely that she would be the bearer of the dollars for the
payment of the dividends. This reasoning does not appear
conclusive, because, in point of fact, the statement of the
Hussar being ordered from Barbadoes to Jamaica agrees
with the accounts previously received ; and there does not
appear any impossibility in her going down to Vera Cruz
for the specie in question, proviLd it be there, and that
application has been made to the Admiral. as stated, inas•
much as there is little doubt but that a frigate would be
employed, and that she would make her passage as direct
as pOssible to this country, after having the specie on
board. In point of fact, from the peculiar state cf the

market, as regards Foreign Stocks and Shares, these are
the only Securities which display any field for speculation;
and, under all the circumstances, the question of the arrival
of the dividends is merely mooted to aid nominal parties;
indeed it is matter of considerable question whether, if they
were now in an English port, they ought properly to bring
the Bonds heyond their present price. There is nothing
doing in Colombian, which remain at 33k. Greek have
shown a disposition to decline, having been done at Wi to
13. Information is anxiously expected from the seat of
war as to the movements of Lord Coen KANE, but nothing
transpired on the subject from the Malta Mail received this
morning. One thing is quite certain, that if his Lordship
cannot undertake operations until the arrival of the whole
force contemplated as forthcoming from this country and
America, it is to be apprehended that the cause will suffer
materially by delay.
Brazilian are the only quotation in Shares, and which

are at 9 premium.
In the Corn Market the supply of Oats and Pease from
the home counties this mottling have been upon a large
scale; but they found few purchasers, those being of ne-
cessity, and not of choice. The opening of the ports has
had the effect of producing this supply at a reduction of
:is. per quarter in Oats, and 3s. in Pease; but at this scale
of reduction there is no disposition to do any stroke of
business, as the large operators wish, of course, to see what
will he the effect of the first sales of grain imported under
the Order in Council. Ships have been arriving in the
river for the last fortnight from the Northern Ports, and
therefore the operation will soon display itself. At this
moment the panic occasioned by the sudden operation of
the measure in question is stated as the cause of a complete
stagnation in the market; this, however, is an evil which
will soon be set right, and the measure cannot but prove
as salutary as it is wise. %%lint also shows a quotation of
2s. per quarter lower than last market, and Beans in about
the same ratio.

Calcutta Government Gazettes to the 3a March have
reached us. By the latest advices from Bhurtpore, it
appears that the army had not actually separated, but it
was expected to break up shortly. A part would, proba-
bly, remain embodied with Sir Charles Metcalfe until the
arrangements with the Alwar Raja were finally settled.
The Commander-in-Chief, Lord Combermere, was ex-
pected to set a for Calcutta on the '2oth January. On
the 17th his Lordship held a cavalry review.
The flotation Cou7nnt of the sth April, now received,
infortns us that the Sultan of Samanap was expected at
Samarang, with 400 of their troops; the troubles in Java
were not wholly appeased; that Captain Koelman and
Major Hunter had gained some advantages over the insur-
gents ; and that Major-General Geen had surrounded the
rebels under Mcauko Negro, so that they must submit, or
endeavour to effect their retreat.
Pia GU E.—The Court Gazette of Vienna announces that
in consequence of the symptoms of plague which have
manifested themselves at Bucharest, the quarantine on the
frontiers of 11-allachia has been extended from ten to twenty
days.
YELLOW Fevers.—The Prefect of the Department of
the Gironde has informed the merchants in that district
that the yellow fever was raging at Martinico and Guada-
loupe. Instructions have been given to the Sanitary Ad-
ministrations that a rigorous application should be made of
the regulations to the arrivals from those Colonies.
Ac COUNTS FROM IRELAND, VIA FRANCE.—We have
still to deplore the excesses of intolerance. An English
Journal (the rrutli-l-elkr) now denounces to Europe atro-
cities committed in a prison of Dublin, called " Richmond
Penitentiary." We have already stated that the Marquis of
Wellesley had ordered an inquiry to ascertain the truth of
the facts. Violence has been exercised on some of the
prisoners, to force them to abjure their faith. It is now
known, says the English Journal (and the Report of the
Commissioners charged rekb lb. imitalry will soon be made
public), that the Governor of the prison employed instrui-
ments of torture to force the Catholic prisoners to become
Protestants. The instruments base teen found, and a
blacksmith has been interrogated, who had made some of
a particular sort to be attached to their heads. This man
declares, that being employed to fabricate these instru-
ments, and to fix them on the heads of the unconvertible
prisoners, he thought he was complying
_ with the will of the
Governmentand not that of the Protestant inquisition. The
official report of the inquiry, continues the Truth-Tello,
will be printed in a short time. An ecclesiastical agent of
the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, assisted by an advocate
and a short-hand writer, is present at each sitting of the
Commissioners. The correspondent of the Truth-Triter
writes, " I have seen the instruments of torture, and I con-
fess that I did not think the heart of man could have
been so destitute of hutnanity as to invent such things."—

Emile.
Several of the French journals have teemed lately with
accounts, which they have copied from each other, of a
horrible murder, said to have been committed in the neigh-
bourhood of Great Mont Rouge. This pretended crime
turns out to be a tissue of invention. The real facts are
as follow :—A perlion of the name of Biaise Delphy, a
mealman, residing in the passage of the Charterux, in the
quarter of St. Eustache, set out last Sunday for Mont
Rouge, where he said he was going for the purpose of re-
ceiving a sum of money. Th 2 next day his wife received
a bundle, which, op opening, she found was a meal-sack,
containing the bloody garments of her husband, and a let-
ter conceived in the following terms :
i I, Mont Rouge, Aug. 20, 1026.
" This is to infonn you that the bird has been plucked and
oaten. The bones have been thrown into the quarry belonging to
M. Llancourt, below Chatillon. We send you the feather,. '
The unfortunate Woman flew, all in tears, to the Commis-
sary of Police, to acquaint him with the melancholy news.
M. the Procureur!tht lioi, having received a proces verbal
of her declaration,xent one of his duputies immediately to
the place,agreeabl to the 32d article of the Criminal Code.
M. Tarbe, charge( with this cummission,went to Chatillon,
and descended int the quarry mentioned. He discovered
there two dead b ics, but they both had their clothes on,
and were recogniad to be those of two workmen, recently
killed by a fall. !After this search, M. Tarbe went to take
an examination nti Mont Rouge. There he exhibited the
clothes of Delp!' for the purpose of having them identi-
fied, before som its who had been seen drinking with
him. But, on Whig them more !Islay, it. ant re-
marked that the stains with which they were covered were
not those of human blood. The suspicions which arose
were soon changed into certainty. It was clearly ascertained
that the clothes had been steeped in the blood of a sheep,
furnished by a country butcher. Delphy was arrested on
the 23.1, in a public-house, kept by M. Parisse. He had
been on the point of being declared a bankrupt, and this
was only a stratagem, invented by himself, for the purpose
of throwing his creditors on a false scent.
Caere.—Ontssa, sin LI IG.—The wheat now accumu-
lated here amounts to above 800,000 chetwerts, and will be
considerably increased by the daily arrivals, as well as by
the crop of bard wheat (arnaoutka) cultivated near the
town. The quantity of wheat which has overstocked our
market must for some time have an unfavourable effect on
the pYiecs. Soft wheat was last sold from .5 to 10A, and
hard from 9to 13. This will, however, attract buyers,
who will be more ready to speculate on those low plices,
as, according to all appearances, the harvest, will not be
abundant in the South of Europe. In the course of the
week, 4,090 chetwerts of soft wheat have been sold front
5i to 11. No demand for hard wheat. One thousand
ponds of Campeachy wood have been sold at 31 rubles per
pootl.
CAITIINESS, AUG. 25.—The harvest work in this
county ii advancing rapidly; the crops are about half cut
down, and in some places stacked. So early a season as
the present has not been known by any of the present ge-
Iteraticln In this county, and the crops both of corn and tur-
: well. A novel circumstance attendant on the
y of the season has occurred in Caithness, namely,
for the Carte of Cowrie,
nent of a cargo of bay
is calculated will cost the purchaser not more than
stone at the place of landing.
