PARIS. &CPT. 10.
If it were true that the provisional Government of Greece had
made its submission to Great Britain, as according to the present
report, • terrible responsibility would rest upon the shoulders of
our Ministry.

Either England would not accept this submission, in which case
■ wbole.Chriatian race would he exterminated. or England would
accept the offered protectorate, and the Porte and Russia would
then arm according to the letter of the misting treaties, besides
that, their respective politics would require it; what then will be-
come of the perm of the world ?
France has been already plundered by the last diplomatic con-
ventions, whilst Russia, Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, and even Eng-
land, were aggrandited. Would, then, France see united to Great
Britain, a country where she was called to play a part so useful to
her interests—so noble for her honour-i-so delightful, so touching)
to humanity ? To prevent this, there would only have wanted on
the part of our ministry a small portion of ability, knowledge,
and courage.
Let us suspend our judgment : let us wait for some event which
may be retarded, but which must ones come; for sooner or later
something ►ill happen to oblige us to come to a resolution upon
Greece. There would only want thermion of the Mores to England
to complete our overthrow from the political scale of nations.
When then shall we have Ministers who will stretch their views
beyond the Exchange, who will made/wend what they are about,
and who will look upon as something the reputation and glory of
1 their country ?

P.S.—pocuments which have just been communicated to u% tell
us that, in tact, the Provisional Government of Greece has placed

the wlpbrof Greece, continental and insular, under the protection
of Great Britain. The negotiation waa carried on between Mauro-
cordato and Coo rnodore Hamilton. A packet from General Roche,
announcing to the Greek Committee at Paris this important news,
bas not arrived a: its destination.

The official intelligence we cilia day publish from India,
entitles us to expect that the Burmese war will soon be
concluded to our entire satisfaction. By private letters we
learn that it was expected that Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL.
would reach Procne by the Isth of March. There it was
understood the enemy intended to oppose his strongest re-
sistance to the further advance of the British army. Accord-
ing to report, a force of 50,000 men and 800 war boats was
collected, but the excellent health and spirits of our troops
leave no doubt as to the result of the conflict. The general
opinion was, that the Court of Ava would speedily sue
for peace. The circumstances attending the progress of

Sir Aac it' na Ca at ?BILL must fill the enemy with dread.
Every difficulty has been overcome in the most gallant
style, and the inhabitants have shown every disposition to
afford assistance to the invaders, who they believe are come
to deliver them from an intolerable despotism.
Advioes have been rece:ved at Liverpool by a free trader,
announcing the capture of Arracan by the British forces.

CITY, CESDAT E•Exzra.

The City was without reports, and the Stock Markets
presented a gloomy appearance. The transactions in Con-
sols were by no means numerous, and there was rather a
tendency in them to decline. They opened at 881 I, I I
was afterwards the price ; and the last quotation was
and the market had a firm appearance. Exchequer Bills
were from par to 2s. premium.
Many of die principal jobbers in the Foreign Market
being heavy Bulls of Stock, Securities in it generally de-
clined, particularly those connected with South America.
Colombian Bonds were 761 Mexican Scrip 91 i dis-
ount, and the New Guatemala Scrip 3 2; discount ;
Brasilian Scrip 9 discount; Danish ditto 61 6. Spanish
Bonds also experienced a decline to 21/. Greek Scrip was
less affected by the day's depression than any stock in the
market ; it continued at 17 16; discount all day.
The Share Market was also in a very uninteresting state,
and the near approach of the settling day operated unfa-
vourably upon it as well u upon the Foreign Market, and
caused a paucity of business in it, speculators being engaged
in making up their accounts. We ought, however, to ex-
cept British Iron Shares, which were greatly in demand. I
They once reached 11 discount, and closed at 21 11 dis-
count. 'l6e Potosi Shares were much depressed in price;
21 ?, was their highest quotation.
The Exchanges this evening remained nearly the same
as last Friday ; but as there are a good many bills on
hand, quotations are expected to be higher.
The Mincing-lane Market had every appearance of im-
provement. Sugar rather advanced, Coffee was quite
steady, and Ruin was a good deal inquired after.

A letter dated Corfu, August 19, contains some details
of the appointment of the French Colonel Fabvier to the
command of a Greek regiment of infantry at Napoli di
Romania. The Secretary General, Maurocordato, and the
Minister of War, Metaxas, addressed the soldiers on their
duties. The Archbishpp having finished the customary
prayers, Col. Fabvier took the oath required by. the Greek
constitution, and the soldiers swore obedience to him.
Letters from Seville state, that numbers of arrests take
place there daily, but generally among the lower orders of
the +people. On the 13th ult. at five in the afternoon, a
vessel entered Cadiz, having on board several persons from
Seville, but it was not known what was. their quality or
number; they were kept in the hold, and were strongly
guarded. A French ship of war arrived the same day
from Rochefort, having on board a detachment of 2SO sub-
officers and soldiers.
The Brussels and Ghent Papers of Sunday reached us
yesterday. They do not contain any intelligence of inte-
rest. A letter from Flushing states, that the pilot duties
on English vessels are now placed on an equality with
those of the country. Sir Wu'. Congreve arrived at Ghent
on Friday evening.
Accounts from llamburgh state, that the trade in linens
was in great activity in Silesia' and that the prices had
risen. The fair at Frankfort had been very animated this
year, and there were more than 500 foreign dealers there.
Cloth, cottons, and woollen stuffs, were much inquired
after.

A letter from La Cuayra of the 16th of July mentions
that two Spanish vessels, laden with sugar, had been
captured by the Coloinbians, and carried into that port.
lOn account of the high price of that article, the cargoes
were purchased with great avidity by the inhabitants.
The works preparatory to cutting the Seine maritime
anal are at present in full operation upon all the line from
Paris to the sea. in the month of August alone the en-
gineers have levelled 44,000 metres in length and 33.000
in cross cuts: at the same time 22,000 metres have been
bored in different places through which the canal is to run ;
in this is comprised one of the principal cuts. The nature
of the soil has been found much mere favourable 'than was
to be supposed from some ill-founded assertions which
have been made.—Cormier Francais.
Mexico.—The priests yet possess great influence over
the minds of the people of the late Spanish Provinces of
America. They are struggling to preserve all the power the
' Roman Catholic Church had under the Monarchy. During
the session of the Legislature of Vera Cruz, a learned me-'
morial was presented to it by Jose Jimenez, curate of Ja•
laps, on the right of asylum prdposed to be abolished by
the constitution. The metnorialist concludes by saying,
that " the clergy willingly swear to the constitution, ex-
cepting the article abolishing asylum; and that if any cri-
minal should firs: to his church, his office would not allow'
him to deliver him up to any authority, unless under pre-
vious oath of his being brought back." 'fhe memorial in
the House gave rise to a long and elaborate discussion. The
President spoke on the occasion, and contended, after the
doctrine of Heccaria, that " asylum Was unjust, because it
secured impunity to vice, and establish. d a sovereignty
tlistinrt from that of the people." It was finally resolved,
that the clergy should not he obliged to swear to the con-
stitution until it should be approved by the National Cot:-
grout.
Yesterday morning the metropolis was visited by a
thunder storm, its the course of which there was one very
loud and long-continued peal, which must have been im-
mediately over the city, b the flash
