Extracts from the llor•nmg Papers, Oct. 22, 1825.

. . [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
We have received several sets of German
Papers, as well as-the Paris Papers of Tuesday
and Wednesday ; but they contain nothing of
particular importance. An article from St. Pe-
tersbe4rgh, in a Hamburgh Paper, announces the
arrival of. a-Courier, With important dispatches
froin the Russian Ambassador iu London, which
were immediately forwarded to the emperor.—
The subject is not mentioned ; and their impor-
tance is probably mere matter of conjecture,
founded upon the circumstance of their being for-
warded without any delay to his Imperial Ma-
iesty.- We know of no other question. which can
constitute, at. this time, the object of a very ani-
mated correspondence between the two Courts,
but that of the Greeks ; and upon this the con-
duct of our Cabinet cannot give much um-
brage to the Russian or any other legitimate
Government. if there be any truth, however,
in a statement, which appears both in the
French and German Papers, the Greeks will
be able henceforth to dispense with foreign
protection, and to settle their quarrel with their
former masters without the interference of a third
party. According to this statement, discord *rages
to such a pitch amongst the enemies of the
Greeks in the Mores, that the Turks, who form
part of the army under Ibrahim Pacha, have dis-
owned his authority, and wholly separated them-
selves from the Egyptians, with whom they re-
fuse to co-operate.—The origin of this discord
was a quarrel between the Pacha and Hussein
Bey, his second in command, which at last trans-
ported the former to such an excess of rage, that
be shot the latter dead with a piStol. The
Diario di • Roma gives the same news ; and we
suspect that the French and German Papers
copied it from that Journal. Corfu, however,
appears to have been the fountain head of the
rumour, where it prevailed on the 18th ult., ac-
cording to a letter of that date from the island ;
but there are advices in tewn from Smyrna of the
same date, which make not the slightest allusion
„either to the quarrel, or its fatal consequences.
The account, had it been true, might have
reached one place as soon as the other ; and un-
fortunately for its credit, neither time, nor place,
is assigned to an act, which would wholly de-
range the plans, and probably destroy the hopes,
of the Egyptian Chief. One of the Paris Papers,
Which'gives intelligence of a later date from the
lonian Islands, represents the Turco-Egyptian
army,instead of being rendered wholly inactive
in consequence of its division, as acting offensive-
ly, and laying waste the district of Maine, (the
ancient Lacedemon) kith fire and sword. This
intelligence, however, would, even if true, be
favoura ble to the Greek cause ; because it proved,
in the first place, that Ibrahim Paella had aban-
dOned for the present all idea of attacking Napoli
di Romania ; and in the next, that the number
of his enemies had increased ; as it is not pro-
bable that he would chastise the people of Maine,
unless they had joined the common catise to-
wards which they had before shewn an unac-
ca,untable apathy.

[MO R NINO POST.]
As we had anticipated, tha severity of the
weather prevented, for nearly two days, all com,
rriunications between France and this country.—
The passage was effected, but not without diffi-
culty, yesterday, and French Papers to the 19th
instant, together with the.Etoile of Wednesday,
reached us by Express. Though, es- we had
stated, nothing calculated to excite alarm has
:occurred o.n the Continent during this short inter-
val, yet the intelligence is more important than
usual, as it announces the death of one of the
reigning Monarchs, and that of the heir to the
Crown of another State. On the 13th of the
.pres-eitt month, six days, we believe, after the
-,coronation of his daughter as Queen of Hungary,
the' Kiiig.of Bavaria was seized with an apoplectic
fit in his capital, which in a few hours put an end
to his existence, when he Was succeeded by his
son, Prince Charles Louis Augustus. The deceased
Monarch,MaximilianJoseph, was born on the 27th
.of May, 1756. and served in France as Colonel of
-the Regiment of Alsace until 1790, when 'he
quiteed that country, then a prey to the first ex-
cesses'Of the Revolution, and accepted of a post
in Alle Anst rian army. In 1798 the existing
Elector of Bavaria, Charles Theodore, took part
against France, when Maximilian Joseph: fol-
lowed his fortunes, and also combated in defence
of the independence of Germany. On the Ist of
April 1795, he succeeded his brother Charles
Duke Of Deux-Ponts, and became pro-
prietor of the regiment which bore his name. On
the 16th of February, 1799, his uncle, Charles
Theodore haying (lied without children, his pos-
sissions descended to the House of Deux-Ponts,
and Maximilian succeeded him. Ills first wife
was a" PrillresS of Hesse' Darmstadt, who died
young, 1,1 viot; him two sons and two daughters.
His second w ife was a Princess of Baden. Ile had
110 sooner attained the Supreme Power (as Elector
of Bavaria) than, by'the advice of his Prime
Minister, M. de Montgelas, he suppressed the
privileges and immunities of the Nobility and
the. Clergy, formed numerous clintritable esta,
blishments and abolished the Mendicant Or-1
ders, a reform which he did .not effect without
experiencing much difficulty. In 1802. he so far
entered into the views of the French Consular
Government, that he forbade the residence of
Russian and French emigrants within his domi-
nions. 111'1804; in order to please Napoleon,
at that time on' the eve of being proclaimed
Emperor, het commanded our Ambassador,
it N. Drake, to quit his territories, and,
in 18Q5, he' not only refused to aid Aus-
tria in her war against France, but aban-
doned his capital, and joined the armies
of the latter;" by which he was soon brought
back- in--triumph, and received, as a reward
for his fidelity and co-operatiOn, the title of King
mirth considerable extension of territory, em-
bracing-the whole of the Tyrol. He then con-
chided' a defensive and offensive alliance with his
