EXTRACTS FROM TIIP. DA ILT MORNING PAPERS.
September 'l7, 1822.

[MORNING 'CHRONICLE.]
We received last night the Paris Papers of
Saturday, by express. The Constitutionnel has
relieved us from much of the apprehension to
which the details of the Turkish and Greek ope-
rations in the Austrian Observer of the 2d inst.
naturally gave rise. We knew that these de-
tails could not be wholly invented, and the pre-
settee of a Turkish force in the Morea seemed to
imply previous disasters, on the part of the
Greeks. It turns out, however, that though the
statements of the Austrian Observer are partly
true, that Paper has purposely excluded from
them most' material circumstances which would
have given to the whole a very different corn-
and'has thereby, in effect, been guilty
of intentional falsehood. By comparing the
accounts which we this day give from the
trench Papers, with the statements of the Aus-
trian Observer, our Readers will be able to form
a better estimate of the state of things. The
Greeks claim a victory, and account rationally
enough for the subsequent appearance in the
Morea of a Turkish force. We are rejoiced to
Terceive from these accounts that the Greeks no
longer accuse us of any co-operation with their
enemies. We know not, indeed, whether what
is said with respect to the treasonable proceed-
ings of pretended exiles from'the [stands, do not
include a charge against some of those mercenary
wretches who have disgraced the British name by
lending themselves as agents to the Turks, and
will some' day find their names coupled with
general execration. But at atl events, as far as
Government and its civil and military agents are
concerned, -there seems no ground for accusation.

(BRITISH PRESS.]
Our Paper of-yesterday contained a full report
of the Court Martial held on Colonel Gore.—
(See THE SUN of yesterday.)—ln the afternoon
of Sunday he received a letter frOm the Right
Hon. John Beckett, Judge-Advocate, congratu-
lating him upon the decision of the Court,-viz'.---
a full and honourable acquittal. The letter
added, that the Court considered' the charge as
wicked and malicious, and that a prosecution
should be forthwith instituted against the accuser:
The decision of the Court was made known after
a shorter interval than i 3 usual on occasions or
the kind. Considerable surprise was, however,
expressed yesterday by those who read the report;
that the Court did not decide upon the case' im-
mediately, so very clear does the innocence of
that officer appear, and so palpable was the false-
hood of the accusation.

It is now certain that Mr. Canning has .changed"
his splendid exile to the Chief Government of
India for a situation more congenial to his talents
and his ambition. He is appointed to the De-
partment of FOreign Affairs, with, of course, the
Ministerial lead in the House. The feeling of
alienation towards Mr. Canning, in the highest
quarter,' is easily accounted for ; but the resist-
ance supposed to have been offered to his admis-
sion-to.the Cabinet, by some of his Colleagues,
is more difficult of comprehension. It was the
moment of all others when the Administration
ORS under a crying necessity of availing them-
-selves- of his- assistance. Their sending Mr.
Canning to India, at the moment when they
were deprived of the late 'Lord Lotidonderry,
would be like a man,who, having lost one eye,
puts out the other. The only way in which one
can explain The objections in the Cabinet is,
that mere Court flatterers and Janglers are not
the only persons who outstrip the personal pen-
chants of the Sovereign by their eager subser-
viency ; but that grave Officers of State • will
curry favour by the same unworthy and most
tinconstientious trick of showing themselves plus
ROgalistes'qUe le Roi. The obstacles, however,
were not multiplied by this secondary resistance,
for the one vanished will'. the other, as the
shadoW with the substance. This is not the only
instance in which the same outrageous royalism
has shown itself in all its Weakness. It is un-
necessary specifically to- remind those who pay
attention to the passing- current of ilomestic
politics, of a curious division in the House of
Lords during, the late Queen's affair, -in which
for a moment the Cabinet seemed divided against
itself.

Accounts. from -Corfu of the -11th or August
give a clear and detailed-report of the battle of
the Thermopy he, in which they positively state
that ChQurschid Pacha was. totally defeated,
They add that be threw himself on the road-to.
Pharsalia, but was overtaken in- the defiles of
Trachis, where he_experienced a further defeat:
.and ultimately escaped to Larissa with only-
-3;000 men. ' This may be the 44 return to Thes-
'saly," 'which is mentioned by the Austrian Ob-
server, without being accounted for in a satisfac-
tory Manner. The Corfu accounts admit that a di-
vision of ChOurschid's army penetrated, before the
hattle,into,ancrent Loeris, and from-thence divided
itself into tvio corps, one of which marched through
Megara towards the Isthmus of Corinth,. and the
other into Livadia, whence it crossed the sea,
and landethin the Morea, But they add that.
both those corps had ultimately been destroyed
by the Peloponnesians. It would really- appear
from the coincidence of dates and places that the
account published by the Austrian Observer was
made out of these statements, which all confirm
each other, but with such contortions of the
facts, as would suit the , politics of the Court of
Vienna, •by representing' the- Turks as every
where victorious. Indeed an article from Hydra
more than insinuates that the Austrians were
at that' Period carrying on 44 war undeclared"
_against, Greece,- at the same time that it an-
.nonnces that the. British Government, since it
had ascertained the pacific sentiments of Russia,
had „caused the neutrality which it had pro-
.claimed to be strictly observed; ,and- had recog-
pised the blockade of the Turkish ports ordered
by the Greek, Senate." The Austrians„ on the
