[THE TIMES.]

The French Papers of Tuesday arrived last
night. The Defile* states, " that the last news
from the Morea confirm the advantages gained
by. the Greeks over the Turks ; and it appears
certain that after some contests two Pachas have
been taken 7 with more than 1,200 horses or mules,
laden with baggage. The result ofthese advan-
tages is the. entire dispersion of the Ottoman
army.. The Greek Government, which. fled with
so much precipitation from its place of residence
at the time of the preceding reverses, has been
declared to be at an end by the, Chiefs of the
army of the Hellenists. They have appointed a
new Government; whose principal members are
MaurOCordato and Prince Demetrius. Ypsilanti."
• A semi-official paper : its evidence, therefore, on the sub-
ject of the Greek successes, is the more credible from being re-
luctantly given.

'Advices, dated the 9th of August, were re-
ceived 'yesterday from Bahia, by way of Per-
nambuco. The expedition from Lisbon arrived
on the preceding day, and had scarcely entered
the harbour when the squadron from Rio de
aneiro was descried making for the same desti-
nation. This is a most critical event for the Por-
tuguese party at Bahia, which would probably
enable them to retain the ascendancy, and keep
down, for a period at least, the attempts making
to establish independence. On the approach of
the fleet from Rio tie Janeiro, the Portuguese
squadron stood out to sea, as if offering battle,
but both remained in sight of each other when
the accounts loft, without having come to an en-
gagement.—(lbid.)

[NEW TIMES.]

By way of France accounts were yesterday re-
ceived, from Pernambuco to August 18. The
Pheasant sloop of war , had arrived there from
Bahia, with letters to 8 August. They convey
the important intelligence of the expedition of
Portugal, as well as that from Rio, having reached
Bahia. The Calypso frigate, containing the Por-
tuguese army, to the extent of about GOO troops,
reached its destination on the 6th, and the Rio
squadron arrived on the same day ; the former
'succeeded in landing its troops. The Bahia'
squadron, thus reinforced, bore in sight of
the Rio •squadron, but neither seemed at all dis-
posed to proceed to hostilities ; and boats were
perpetually passing and repassing. with communi-
cations from the different Commanders, for the
purpose, it was supposed, of negOciation, or of
endeaVouring to bring one party over to the other.
It was said that the Prince Regent had made
very splendid offers to General Madeira, the
Commander of the Enropean troops at Bahia, to
go over to him; but it seems that the Governor
remained quite inflexible. The warlike state in
which the town of Bahia has been so long held,

and the preparations which have been making to
defend it, have entirely put an end to all com-
mercial speculations, which have been so effec-
tually destroyed, that the Bank has been com-
pelled to stop payment, and the merchants have
become extremely alarmed for the safety of their
property, whether tangible or floating. They
were taking every precaution to save themselves
from the desolation which every where surround-
ed them ; large quantities of goods had been
shipped to Rio and Pernambuco, where the
markets had, in consequence of receiving such
unlooked-for supplies, become wretched in the
extreme, and sales were altogether impracticable.

[MORNING POST.]
We received last night French Papers to the
9th inst. They state that a letter had been
brought by express to Paris, announcing that
General 'Berton had been executed at Poitiers on
Saturday last, at eleven o'clock in the morning.
Sauge and Jaglin had been removed under a
strong escort to Thouars, where their sentence
was also to be carried into effect. But Caffe
bdd committed suicide some hours before the
time fixed for his execution. Means had been
found. pf conveying a sharp instrument to him,
with which he inflicted a deep wound in his
groin, and bled to death. Further details
are promised ; but this account,, although not
official, was considered to be substantially cor-
rect. This execution will not produce on
the French people so deep 'an impression as
that of the four youths whose blood was lately
shed at Paris as accomplices in the Rochelle
conspiracy. Berton was the head of a plot, the
leader of an insurrection ; he had boldly ven-
tured on an enterprise out of which there were
but two issues, success or the scaffold. From
the mome►rt that he was taken, he knew, and all
France knew, what must be his fate. He had
besides been the chief cause of his own failure by
his hesitation, his timidity, and his unaccount-
able retreat, after having been in possession of one
half of Saumur for several hours, without having
met with a single soldier to impede his further
advance. He had also committed the fatal error
of suffering himself to be ensnared and taken.
He was therefore the object of but little' sym-
pathy in France. But far different was the
situation of the four Rochelle youths. They
were not chiefs or planners of the plot ; they
were not the seducers, but the seduced. They
had been drawn, with the characteristic thought-
lessness and imprudence of youth, into an enter-
prise, which it was impossible that early habits
and feelings should not have rendered consonant
with their wishes, although they might not have
shared in its criminality, had not artful tempta-
tions and solicitations assailed them.
