DAILY
Extracts from the Morning Papers, Nov. 9.

[MORNING POST.]

The King will not be able to come to town at
'the time appointed last week. Our readers will
with us regret to find, by our Windsor communi-
tations of last night, that his Majesty has for
some days been afflicted with a fit of rheumatic
gout. We have the consolation, however, to
know, that his Majesty's indisposition is by no
means of a serious nature, and that his speedy
restoration to perfect health is confidently hoped
a.nd expected.
We received Dutch Papers last night to the
7thinstant, which have brought us some interest-
ing intelligence from Constantinople, through the
way of Odessa. Much of it is a detailed con-
firmation of the successes of the Greeks ; but
some particulars are added with which we were
not previously acquainted. Thus it appears that
the Captain Pacha has offered 200,000 Spanish
piastres as a ransom for the celebrated Ismael
Cibraltar, brother to the Pacha of Egypt, whom
the Greeks had taken prisoner. Admiral Miaulis,
however, had refused this considerable sum, and
had demanded in its stead eight frigates, and
hatever Ismael had had under his command.—
This would of course be still more useful to the
Greeks than money, but it is not said whether it
had been conceded. Indeed if it be true that the
Captain Pacha had had much difficulty in re-
turning to the Dardanelles with his own ship,
one frigate, and ten transports, it was not in his
power to comply with the demand. Lord Strang-
ford embarked at Constantinople for Qeuoa on
the Bth of October.—(lbid.)

Journals ]
In the Paris of Saturday there is an
almost entire absence of every thing of interest on
this side of the Channel. The Journal des &-
bats has suspended its hostilities with the Minis-
try, but the Constitutionnel and the Courier
Francais do not relax in their now almost hope-
less efforts to drive M. de Villele from his seat in
the King's Cabinet. The former asserts, that the
President of the Council has opened a private
correspondence in the Belgian papers, from which
a paragraph is quoted, stating that " the French
Ministers are very active in preparing themselves
for the approaching Session of the Legislature.
They are determined," it is added, " to avoid all
discussions that may tend to produce discord.—
Two changes will certainly take place in the Ca-
binet before the opening of the Chambers, and
several new Peers will be created." Our readers
will find, in the letter of our Paris Correspond-
ent, the most correct view of the politics of
that busy and intriguing capital. Whether M.
de Villele will ultimately be compelled to yield
to the assailants who surround him on every side,
is probable a fact at this moment altogether un-
certain. Charles X. is fond of public applause,
but he may, perhaps, think that the whistle may
sometimes be bought too dearly. The trouble and
difficulty of forming a new Administration might,in
his opinion, fully counterbalance the momentary
addition a change would give to his popularity.—
Besides, from whence are to come the materials of
a new Cabinet ? Would the Liberals he better
pleased with M. de Montmorency and M. de Cha-
teaubriand than they are with M. de Villele and
M. de Corbiere ? or would the Royalists be sa-
tisfied with the expulsion of the latter in order to
substitute a Ministry like that of M. deCaze ? The
Moniteur denies that any of the plans laid before
the public for the indemnity of the emigrants
have the sanction of the Government. We ob-
serve that the greatest pains are taken to conci-
liate the military. At an entertainment given to
the 11 th legion of the National Guard on St.
charles's day, after having several times drunk
fire health of the King and the Royal Family, a
toast was proposed—" To the French Army, the
soldiers of Marengo, Austerlitz, and La Vendee,
who united their laurels under the same flag in
Spain." It is well for the French Government
if the soldiers of Marengo and La Vendee can be
thus easily made to believe that they are really
friends. It would, perhaps, be wiser to say less
about the battles of La Vendee. The reminis-
rences of that war cannot generate amicable feel-
