WRECK OF A GRECIAN BRIG OF WAR.

EXTRACTS OF PRIVATE I,ETTERS, DATED ALDERSET,

11TH AND 12TII NOVEMBER.
" FRIDAY, llth.—This morning, at five o'clock, the Gre-
cian brig of war the Cimoni, Captain,Aliaulis, whilst standing
to the westward in a heavy gale at- N. E. and sometimes.
N. ran on the eastern part of this island before they discovered
land. Although a heavy sea was running at the time, the
whole of the crew was landed in safety.
" Five o'clock in the evening.-1 have just returned tram
the wreck of the brig, where I have been the whole of the day.
She had on board many valuables, and in fact a rich cargo,
but I regret to state, that a scene of much plunder was wit-
nessed • at least two thirds of the valuable articles were carried
off to the town, or secreted in the sand till an opportunity should
occur for removing them. Even a young man of great respec-
tability carried off a pocket full of table spoons; others, sabres,
silver-mounted ; women took whole pieces of muslin or cambric,
in pieces of 55 yards each ; and other articles were carried off'
by children. Surely this ought not to have been permitted by
those who were placed to protect the property."
SATURDAY, the 12th.—The vessel still holds together ;
most of her cargo is washed out or landed, her cannon are still
on her deck, but if she parts, which is expected, they will be
all lost, as no effort is made to save them, for plunder seems
now to be the order of the day. The crew had property on
hoard, which they attempted to save, but they have had in.
different success. Well may they all exclaim, as one did this
morning—' Oh, that I had been cast on some place among the
Turks; I then should have expected death, and met it ; but
here, among Christians, I expected charity and protection, and
have met with plunder and abuse.' Such must be the fate of
individuals who are wrecked on our coast, if Government do
not examine into the character of the persons who are placed
in situations which require integrity."

SHOCKING ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternavn arr
Inquisition was taken before J. W. Unwin, Esq. at the. Tyssen.
Arms, Dalston, parish of St. John, Hackney, touchil g the death
of Sarah Isabella Randall, a child seven years of age. The
parents were persons in very humble circumstances, residing in
Charles-street, Dalston. On Monday last the mother was from
home, employed in washing. The father was at work in a
brick field, and a girl older than the deceased was alio from
home, leaving the deceased in a room by herself. During their
absence a Mrs. Perry, a lodger in the same house, was alarmed
by the child's screams, and, entering the room, found her envel-
-1 loped in flames, which she extinguished by wrapping a woollen
apronaround her. A medical gentleman afterwards attended,
but the poor child was so dreadfully injured that all his skill was
unavailing, and she expired on Wednesday in great agony,
Mrs. Perry. learnt from her that she approached the fire to put
something into it, when it communicated to her dress.—Ver.

In the annals of elegant and useful invention,
ROWLAND'S M ACASSAR 01 L has attained the most
distinguished celebrity. Patronised by the re.
spective Monarchs of the three greatest Empires
in the Universe, Russia, China, and Persia, this
Oil is established in use and reputation with the
civilized and discriminating of all nations, from
the Arctic to the Antarctic regions ; and," though
last, not least in our esteem," our gracious Sove.
reign, his illustrious family, and the beauteous
and the brave, of our " surpassing Islands," have
long honoured Rowland's invaluable preparation
with preferable distinction. These are facts
which (multum in parvo) prove the universality,
utility, and high pre-eminence of Rowland and
Son's Macassar Oil—facts, which render them
invulnerable to the futile machinations of envy,
and supersede the necessity of lengthened pane..
gyric. To those, however, who have not hitherto
used this preparation, a succinct account of its
extraordinary qualities may be requisite. The
Macassar Oil acts in the double capacity of pre-
ventive and restorative. Its balsamic properties
are nutritive and fertilising, bestowing a healthy
vigour that resists decay ; and, in cases even of
entire baldness, creating tresses of silken and
luxuriant redundancy.

[MORNING. POST.

French Papers to the 17th instant, and the
Etoile of Thursday reached us last night by
ExpresS. - The latter undertakes to check the
alatin created by the rapid decline of the Funds,
and for that purpose contends that it has had no
effect: on national industry and commerce, which
are represented as .M.the most fiouyishing condi-
tion. Without denying this fact,'Which.we be-
lieve to be correctly .stated, we do not see that it,
affords sufficient grounds of assurance to dispel
alarm entirely. The, national industry and com-
merce of France must he brittle indeed;if the
vacillations of a day or two in the money market
could affect, them sensibly.. Rut, let thoie va-
cillations only continue a fortnight or three
weeks, and we doubt much ..whether the
Etode could honestly renew the same boast.
As to the internal improvements. which have
taken place in France since the Peace, they'are
great,aod manifest. No country ever rose with
so much elasticity from the extreme weakness to
wl4ich foreign conquest and occupation had re-
duced her, to the fulness of strength and the
summit of prosperity, as France. has done in the
course of the last ten years. Had her constitu-
tional liberties kept pace with her finances and
industry, she would be now the strongest
is well as the happiest State on the Continent.
it ,appears by some of the following that
though the attempt to induce her to enter into
immediate commercial arrangements with this
country has failed-, she is disposed to relax the
severity of her prohibitory laws with respect 'to
Sweden, who does not however. possess the same
claims to 'favour and gratitude.

[Me tS.] •
The Eloile, a newspaper supposed to be very
closely connected with the French Government,
has had, within this last week,. two articles on
commercial and financial topics, which, how little
soever worthy of notice in themselves, may bear
a remark for the sake of their professed objects,
and of their presumed authors. In one of these
articles, the Etoile descants upon ".the crisis
which-is taking place at the-Exchange ;" in other
words, the fall of the French rentes to a decree
for which the Finance Minister has probably
not-been • qutte-prepared ; and by which, from
the schemes he has depending, .his Excellency
may feel somewhat embarrassed. The Etoile is
at pains to assure its readers, that the fall of the
funds dneS not affect in any way" either the " ma-
" ritirne or internal commerce of the country, or
" its agricultural. and manufacturing indus-
try." There is undoubtedly no reason in
the nature of things why the state of the
funds, in France at least, should much affect
the general condition of commerce. In all
countries a rise or fall of the funds, where
it. has any direct. relation to the prosperous
or adverse state of the public industry, is at
the outset rather an effect than a cause of some
change either felt or apprehended in the latter :
although first a consequence, it often, however,
by re-action, becomes a cause, and affects reci-
procally•the sources of his own existence. When
fluctuations in the funds have been the result of
mere manoeuvring by stockbroking or political
speculators, it is obviously absurd to make thern
th 6 subject of general reasonings about the
national affairs. In France, it seems possible
that a severe fall in the :funds, even when it is
not produced directly by artifice, or indirectly
by a preceding artificial, and therefore temporary
rise, may have little effect upon commercial or
thanufacturing industry, compared with the re-
sults. of a corresponding fall in a country more,
commercial than France, and, like England, both
mote abundant in public debt, and more -sup-
ported in her energies by individual credit. Even,
therefore, had time French funds experiened a
fall of a more doubtful origin.and-character than'
the present appears to have been, the Etoile might
have argued correctly in stating that no infe-
rence was to be drawn from such a change un-
faiourable to the national prosperity. Still more
reasonable may be the conjecture that the Eloile
speaks truth, when there appears to be ground
for suspecting that the fall of the Rentes is just
so far natural, as the preceding rise for two or
three months past had been in a great measure
forced. • The efforts of Government to raise •the
French funds were indefatigable—in some cases,
&report speaks truth, they were cruel as well as
indefatigable-- with a view to the success of M.
Villele's financial projects. It may be presumed,
moreover, that those capitalists who were to
hive a -share_ in the operation, and a taste
of the profits, were not behind in support-
ing. the endeavours of the French Govern-
ment to raise the three per cents. But every
thing has its limit—every man conversant
with money knows that the principle of supply
and demand must affect the funds like all other
ioMmodities—each rise in the funds has a ten-
dency to check any further rise, acting as a tax
upon stock, rendering the article dearer, and
diminishing the number of buyers. The French
Rentes had got up to an unprecedented height—
while other modes of investing capital
produced little
.less than six per cent. So far,
therefore, from inferring that French com-
merce was on the decline, or was likely to be
injured by extensive sales of stock, the fair
deduction would be, that the sales took place
because commerce found a more beneficial field
for their proceeds, and that industry in re-
,
turn would be invigorated by the application
of, those proceeds to its enterprises. This was
on the supposition that any general cause or con-
sequence, good or bad, could be connected with
the crisis taking place at the Exchange," which
in the absence of all political incident it were,
perhaps, too much to imagine. But there is a
purpose to be gathered from these assurances of
the French official newspaper. It_ does what it
can to satisfy mankind that nothing is wrong with
credit, public or private, beyond the mere reduc-
tionin the price of Rentes; and then, with little
dexteritir in our opinion, exclaims against the
Bank of France for not better supporting Pnblic

credit, by a more -liberal issue,of its paper. The
Etoile is angry with the • Bank for calling in its
40 millions, advanced upon the credit of the last
loan. It expostulates with that wise and flou-
rishing corporation on " the narrow and -unneces-
" sary" prudence which it has exhibited. In short,
the Etoile seems hugely desirous that the price of
Rentes, which it labours so hard to prove,
has caused no mischief whatever by falling,
should be raised again by the Bank to that
unnatural level, at which the Minister is no
longer able to sustain them.—The Etoile, in
another article upon a measure of the Dutch
East India Government, who Lind that English
commerce can be no otherwise emulated but by
the adoption of those liberal principles which
have been recently introduced into its general re-
01ations, pronounces a panegyric upon commer-
cial liberality, wholly at variance with the spirit
of that worn-out system in which France thinks
fit piactically to persevere. The French jour-
nal, indeed, admits unequivocally, that Eng-
land by the adoption of her free commercial
policy, will force every . other country in the
world to act upon it, .or to sink into the condi'
.lion of the miserable Spanish Monarchy. If this
be M. de Villele's- private sentiment, it is un-
fortunate for France that he is so much more
advanced than his nation.

[THE PUBLIC Lune,Eud
We have received the Paris Papers of 'Wed-
nesday, with The .Etoile of Thursday. From
the last quotations of the Rentes, a reaction ap-
pears to have have commenced ; and this move-
ment is likely to continue, if any credit be due
to a statement is The Etoile, which has every
appearance of having issued from the bureau of
the Finance Minister. According to this autho-
rity, the depression that has taken place may be
ascribed to two leading causes—large sales for
the purpose of employing the produce in the
purchase of wines of this year's vintage, which
are said to be excellent; and, secondly, the
conduct of the Bank of France, which is cha-
racterised as narrow and unnecessarily cau-
tious. By the former operation, sales to the
amount of seventy or eighty millions of francs,
have been effected within a very short period ;
but the influence of this and other causes
is said to have nearly spent itself ; and, if this
be true, a reaction almost as sudden as the de-
pression, may be expected. In the meantime,
every other public interest is said to thrive be-
yond any former example, which alone would
serve to account for the exception which the
Rentes present. For instance, it is vauntingly
affirmed, that maritime and internal comrnerce,as
well as agricultural and manufacturing industry,
" are in the road of sensible improvement." This
description would apply to Etgland as well as td
France ; and the prosperous state of agriculture,
commerce, and manufactures, in both countries,
would partially at least account for the gloom
which hangs over the two markets at this mo-
ment : political causes have no doubt mixed with
those just stated ; but, as they are the offspring
of the very panic which they have contri-
buted to augment, they will, in all pro-
bability, soon lose their influence. With the
exception of Spain, the nations of Europe,"col-
lectively and individually, never furnished such
grounds of confidence in the continuance of tran-
quillity, as they do now. It may in truth be
said, that a mighty, though silent, change, has
been for some time operating in the sentiments
of her different cabinets; and instead of seek-
ing grandeur as formerly in the field of battle,
they now find that it is more readily to be
found in the province of peaceable indus-
try. There is not a single government, too,
at this time, that is subject to the old ruling
passion of blood-stained acquisition, for they have
all found out that the road to wealth is also the
road to political supremacy. Even France has
become a convert to this great and simple
truth ; and, with her conversion, her military
mania has all but disappeared. Her people. are
now as intent on cultivating their fine soil, and
exploring new channels of trade, as they were,
ten years since, eager in the pursuit of the bubble
called martial glory. This reaction of feeling
has been attended also with such beneficial
results, that there is but little fear, unless
her rulers become downright mad, of its
discontinuing ; and, under all these circum-
stances, we are not very sanguine in looking
upon the present peaceable aspect of Europe as
wearing a most settled character.
