THE B K,ITI S H PRESS.

Paris Papers of Wednesday and Thursday last
have arrived at our Office. They contain intelli-
gence from Constautinople to the lOili of last
month, from which we receive full confirmation of
the reports previously disseminated respecting the
successful march of the Persians and the fortuida-
ble character of their army. They have had some
fighting with the Podia of BAGDAD. whose forces
they defeated, and pushed on a corps of their army
to take passesaiuti of &morn. The Turkish •Corns
foamier. require immediate assistance from the
Porte to enable them to withstand the force of the
invaders. The Persians have already conquered
the greater part of Armenia, said their continued
progress has the effect of iiiterruptiug much of the
ordinary supplies which the markets of Coostanti-
nople draw from the fertile plains of Asia. The
only retaliation which the Porte has been able to
inflict consists in pluutlering all the merchants, or

not alone on account of the information they offer
respecting the relations of the Turkish and French
Government., but more especially in con eequence
of the censure lately pronounced by the French
Chamber of Deputies upon the conduct of their
Minister.. Its the note of the Fiend, Ambassa-
dor the Porte is assured of the friendly disposi-
tion of the French Government, and exhorted to
avoid the evils if a war with Ramie, by prevent-
ing the continuance of those excesses against the
Christian religion, and the subjects of Christian
Powers, which had already endangered the general
tranquillity. The Porte, in its answer, disclaims
uny desire to disturb the general peace, and
affirms stoutly that all the measures adopted
to punish the insurgent Greeks were marked
by the moderation cud justice that have always di,.
tiuguisited the Sublime Porte, and were necessary
for the public good. This is the ready answer of
every Government in the world whets taxed with
violeuee.and severity. ‘, The public good" is a
mystic phrase, sufficient to excuse every offence
*gaunt humanity and justice, and is the snore con-
venient, as those who thus abuse it will suffer no
persons in the world to question their power or their
right to drcide upon the expediency or she necessity
of their measures. The Porte would, in the presence
of any other tribunal than its own Divan, find it
somewhat difficult to prove that the murder of se-
veral venerable Prelates, without any public
charge or means of defence, the burning of
churches, and the authorised massacre of its Greek
subjects in the streets of Constantinople, were
calculated to promote " the public good."
The intelligence respecting the naval and milk
Lary operations its the Archipelago and on the Con-
tinent of Greece is not uninteresting. It is ref.:
lain that the united squadrons which form the naval,
force of the Porte have retired from the waters of:
Greece to the Dardanelles, that its condition is!
very bad, and that it wants considerable repairs.—.
.Some breathing time will thus .be given to the
Greeks. It is said that the insurrection in Greece,
is still increasing ; but the ease with .which,
three thousand Turks regained possession of
Athens, and defeated a body of 7,000 Greek.,
who had taken the city under their protection,
offers a lamentable proof of the want of discipline
or of valour among the insurgents. We are again
' told that the Candiotes have risen in arms aguiust
the Turks, Mud that old Ate, late Pocha of Ja-
nina, had at length relieved himself from the
strictness of his long blockade, by beating his
antagonist, Cnouescaties. We are also told that
the Sultotes have made themselves masters .of
Parse, and that Prevesa is closely besieged. New
enemies to the Porte have appeared in the tier-
sons of the Jleys of Croja and Duraszo, in Albania,
and a new movemeut was apprehended smug the
fanatical Weehabiter.

Our readers will recollect that M. Hedemais was scooted
of having formed • compiracy tending in overthrow the
existing Government. Though the proceedings Ismael yet
►een made public, it is however known that M. Hedensan
has not, as report has stated, affected mental alienation to
exculpate himself; bet that he bas, on the contrary, given
with the greatest fruition+ all the iui•rmatius that bas
been asked a Lisa relative to his project, •ad that he has
not shewn t►e least regret of having formed it.
It is well know. that our cede assimilates the fact of she
publication of a proclamation, such as that which M. Hide.
man has distributed, to the crime of high treasmi, for which
the law 'solves capital punishment ; and accordingly it is
affirmed that the Tribunal of the First instance has condemn-
ed M. Hrdeinan to death. But the accused ►as still the
resource of appeal and of an applieatiun for mercy.
