QUIS DICERE FALSUJI AUDEAT

LONDON.
SDAY Ei'E.NING, AUGUST 3, 1825.

1 he Paris Papers of Sunday have arrived, but
Contain nothing which we deem it necessary to
eXtract. They aro occupied chiefly with two
"blects, viz. the Greeks, and one more home-
thatelY affecting France, the conversion of the
Itents.

This latter subject becomes daily more interest
in? as the time for election given to the Itentie 6
-e4ances fOr the sums 41
d be a very
:°1 proportion to the whole. Tee millions
."1° hundred thousand. francs is the sum total
tlertPrls and the maximum, of the hopes of
the Minister never exceeded thirty millions,
and it Caoriot be expected that this large difference
will P

The re

Ports concerning the Greeks still go on ;
the Election of a King for Greece
,sere,..M! to gain ground. A letter from the Isle
''fl. 1:1"ot dated 6th July, says, that Deputies
•Nram all the Islands have been convoked to

tan Prine.e, or perhaps a Greek of noble
:('escent, will be chosen. This election is said
I.° have been urged by the Greek Deputies in
full who saj such a King would be power-
.lll9 protected. We are thus led to imagine that
Siont,galail,d had promised her protection to this new
rrergn, a circumstance we must greatly doubt.

htive arks
are uotio that deplorable condition the,' op, e: rellrese utecl, and appear fully able to

the ti recian forces. The Egyptian
4 r,. w,as, on its first appearance, ridiculed as
*MI and Akiliscinlineti mob, following the

standard or Inamtist by compulsion, and de-
serting him upon the first favourable opportu-
nity. But events have shewn the contrary, and
that the expectations built by the Porte upon this
formidable corps, if not entirely fulfilled, have
at least not been entirely dashed. The Egyp-
tian fleet still remains upon the seas in spite
of the alleged victories of the Greeks and the
endeavours of their. Admirals. At discord with
each other, the Greeks seem to be aiding the
exertions of the Turks for their final sub-
jection, and forgetful of the high and im-
portant duties their country now calls upon
them to fulfil, they carry their animosities
into the Cabinet, and direct their wisdom not
against the enemy, but against the views and de-
signs of one portion of their own friends. They stop
for nothing short of this, and we verily-believe
that if the prevailing party could not be sue-
cessfully resisted in 2ny other manner, the op-
posite would open the gates of their cities to the
enemy, and submit in order to gain a pitiful pur-
pose,to the dictation of the Turkish Conqueror.
Such seems to he the melancholy issue of a struggle,
commenced for the most noble ends, but we
shall regret it the less, deeming the Greeks, by
such proceedings, unworthy the honourable re-
ward they seek.

TUE Lonn CHANCELLOR.—It might be thought
Gott the anonymous assassin of character who has
so often attacked the LORD CHANCELLOR would
have been induced to restrain his venom, as his
persevering hostility has only excited the indig-
nation of all liberal minded men, and indeed the
contempt of even his own readers, but
" The creature's at his dirty work again,"
and seems to be' hardened by private malignity
against every notion of common decency and
shame. Yet he has reason to know, if he knows
any thing, that a more learned and conscientious
person than the present Chancellor never occu-
pied his high station, and dispensed justice with
more scrupulous vigilance and impartial integrity.
!Nt the last attack on the Noble Lord seems to
be less directed towards him than, by rendering
his Lordship a stalking horse, to aim his malig-
nant shafts at His MAJESTY. In this, however,
he is but content with the established character
of the channel through which his malevolence
issues, as it has always been distinguished for its
revolutionary principles and ridicule of LEGITI-
MACY, on which most of the European Govern-
ment's are founded, and depend for security,
against those innovations which have shaken the
frame of the social edifice and endangered the
• very existence of society.

MAYENCE, JULY 22.—There is a great demand
for oats in the Corn Markets of the Netherlands
as well as in England, from which country news
has been brought that the Barley crops have
totally failed. It is believed there that in con-
sequence of the great rise in the prices (which
are still advancing) that the importation of that
kind of grain will soon be permitted in England..
The 15th of August is spoken of as the time
when the permission will probably begin. In
many parts of Lower Germany the rape seed
seems to have failed.—ln Holstein, from which
large quantities of this grain are usually exported
to Holland, this year receives supplies from the
Weiser. The prices of oil have likewise risen
a little in the Netherlands and this market.
Raw sugars too have risen in Holland, and the
demand for coffee has become more brisk.
The Duke WELLINGTON has left England on
his ordinary tour of inspection of the fortresses
in the Netherlands, on which, in pursuance of
the treaties with that country, a part of the in-
demnity paid by France is to be expended un-
der the supervision of his Grace. He is accom-
panied by Colonel JONES, of the Engineers, who
has the charge of detailed inspection.—(Morning
Paper.)
The Abbe de ST. FARE, a natural son of the
too-celebrated PHILIP EnaLITE, died on Sunday
seinnight. Ile was one of the innumerable exam-
ples among the French of the inconveniences to
which they will submit, under the most painful
circumstances of infirmity or old age, rather than
not enter into society. Totally deprived of the
use of his limbs, and with all the distressing ap-
pearance of bulk of a man in the dropsy, he was
to be seen, until within a few months, wheeling
himself about in a Merlin's chair, in the salons
of the fashionable company of Paris, apparently
enjoying himself in conversation or his rubber of
whist, as if he were in perfect health. In no
other respect was he at all remarkable.
The village of Start, which is visited by every
body who go the Waters of Spa, has been destroy-
ed by fire. In the night of the 24th July, a wheel-
wright, in fitting the iron tire of a wheel to a
cart, caused the sparks to fly upon the roofs . of
the neighbouring houses, which' are composed of
straw ; they immediately caught tire in several
places. The destroying element extended itself
with dreadful rapidity through the village. The
next morning the fire was still burning, and we
are assured that out of .5t3 houses which coin-
posed the village, 47 have been destroyed. The
Church, the Parsonage, and the house of the
Mayor, alone escaped the disaster. The damage
is estimated at 100,000 florins.--(Eloile, Sunday,
July 31.)
WOMBWELL, the Proprietor of the Lions which
he exposed to the attack of the Dogs, finding
that such a general abhorrence has arisen against
him, in a letter to a public Journal, declares that
1" another exhibition of such a scene shall never
be encouraged or engaged in" by him. ThiS is.
a prudent submission to public judgment and the
,common feelings of humanity, but it is no apology
for. the cruelty attending the first disgusting
contest.
