PARIS, AUG. 17.--The last accounts received
from Cadiz are of the Gth. The King was then
in good health, as were ull the Royal Family ;
bat affairs were not so advanced as we had reason
Ito believe. At Madrid all the symbols of public
rejoicing were countermanded, the intelligence
of the deliverapce of the King being premature.

PARIS, Ann. 17;—The popular commotions
which menaced the respectable inhabitants of
Saragossa on r the c2Otb, 21st, and 22d, of July,
have been doubted by some Papers of the South,
and confirmed by others. The want of commu-
nication has not permitted us to ascertain the
correctness of the reports which have been cir-
culated, but the Memorial Bearnals of August
9, in publishing the following account transmitted
by a traveller worthy of credit, places the au-
thenticity of these reports beyond a doubt :
" On July 20, at eight o'clock in the morning,
numerous crowds, consisting of 30, 40, or 50 per-
sons, occupied the principal places of the town.
Towards eleven o'clock nearly 8000 peasants
entered Saragossa, and united themselves to the
crowds. Immediately afterwards' this mass
moved on to the place which had been agreed
-on, and from. thence separated into bodies of 200
each, who were. not,leng in. occupying the diffe-
rent- street" of the town. They then repaired to
the houses „of the molt opulent Individuals sues
petted to be Constitutionalists,' arrested them,
end conducted them to the Church. of the
quisition. In less .than two hours the Church
contained more than fifteen hundred prisoners.
-Very soon afterwards a deputation of the po-
pulace waited on the Spanish General Joachim
Fereyra, to ask of him permission to pillage the
houses of the persons arrested. This General,
indignant at such a request, replied, ' Whit '
do you ask, wretches, to pillage the houses of
your townsmen and brothers? What harm have
they done you ? Is the suspicion that they en-
tertain an opinion' contrary to yours, sufficient to
us-Out-you form so horrible a resolution ? I shall
openly oppose your designs, which have no other
object but to appropriate the property of others,
and Will be followed by the greatest calamities.
I—Return to those who sent you, tell them
to give up their projects, and restore to their
distressed families the multitude of citizens'
they• have so .unjustly imprisoned. You will
also tell them, • that after they have opened
the doors of the temple, which they have con-
vested into a prison, that they must return
to their respective communes in good order. If
they do not llateo to what I say, I shall not he-
sitate to put myself at the head of my troops, and
compel them by force to execute what I have
been unable to .obtain by mildness. The brave
French garrison also have their eyes fixed on
y.ou, they are under arms, and at the first signal
I will unite miself with them to defend the
liberty and the property of the citizens whom you
oppress.'
The Deputation then retired. General Fe-
reyra carried his preventive cares still further.
lie hastened, in concert with. tile French Colonel
who commanded the garrison, to take measures
to prevent the disorders the unbridled populate
„might occasion. In consequence, the pillage did
not take.place, but the persons imprisoned were
not set at liberty. To prevent the horrors.

t4on prevented the pillage, is general)" esteemed

The announcement of a luau by theß,,egency,
whose intermediary is M..Achille jouffroy, 'the
ambassador of the Gazelle tJ France, has caused
the loan previously negeciated by the Cortes to
rise. It was at 3G, and is now 471 and 48.—
The cause of this is said to be, that the Regency
has agreed to recognise the loan of the Cortes on
condition that the persons who subscribed to it,

now subscelbe for oue.third of the Regency loan.
This Regency, so intolerant in matters of opi-
nion, is ready to give way when its pecuniary inte-
rests are concerned. The idea of regulating these
two loans on the same footing, belongs to M.A chille
Jouffroy, who mould probably. do well to
give up politics, and take to finances, as suit-
ing him much better. We do not know if
the loan opened at M. Guebard's is yet com-
pleted. However this may be, the rise in Spa-
nish Securities indicates that a strong hope yet
remains, that under the mediation of England,
Spain will receive a Constitution—half constitu-
tional, half despotic--and 'which consequently
will satisfy neither party.

THE GREEKS.

'EXTRACT OF A LETTER rnou couru.l

After what I had the honour to send to you relative to the
Greeks, dated May 13th, I proceed with particular satisfaction
to keep you on a level with the current of their affairs. The
'second National Assembly has already placed limits to the ex-
ercise of its powers, and from the annexed proclamation, in
which it announces their cessation, it is easy to recognize the
wisdom with which all things were ordered. The contentment
of the Greeks is now so universal, that none but the happiest
results can be expected.

Pietro hlavrornically, formerly Chief of the province of an-
dent Sparta, and a man of firm character and of the best inten-
tions, was elected President of the Govitnment. Its first and
most important efforts were directed to organize the armed
force, with the intention of sending a large army into Thessaly,
another into Western Greece, it third was to be directed against
the fortresses of the Peleponnesus and of Ettbcea, which is still
in the power of the Turks.
The financial operations, of which the Government had al-
ready received some proceeds, will sustain in part the expences
of the army and of the fleet, and what is further required will
be made good by contributions, by loans from abroad, and in
proportion to the extent in which this may succeed, will be
the force brought to act in this campaign against the enemy,
who is yet destitute of any army ready for the field, and suffi-
ciently large to begin offensive operations. In consequence of
the discord which prevails amongst the Turks, and their want
of means, they will find it difficult, even at a late period, to
collect such an army as will be capable of so acting. In the
mean time 'the Greeks will prevent them, by*landing 1,540
Men, under the command of Captains Diamanty and Caratasso,
at Folio, the key of Thessaly, who will succeed in driving
away the enemy from that part, and in making the Greeks of

the surrounding country take up arms. The same moae was
followed in Epirus, in the province of Agrafli, and Arpropo-
tamo, and fifteen days'ago the whole population took up anus,
and under the command of Captains Strinary and Caraiscaky,
fought with advantage. Europe must now see the continual
improvement in the affairs of the Greeks, and ought. at least
to form a more just 'opinion concerning them,. particularly
England, .to whom, in preference to all other countries, the
Greeks will unite themselves.

The fact which 1 am now to describe cannot fail to excite
distress in your mind. Last week, seven Greeks of Epirus left
this port, in a vessel under the lonian flag, bound to Misso-
longi, with all her papers in proper order, certificate of health,

&c. On her Way' she fell in with a Ttirkish squadron, in the
waters of Lcucaclia, coming from. Yatrits. • The .Turks took
out the Orceks by force, without paying any attention to the
powerful nation which protects the lonian flag, canted them to
Prevesa, where they were cruelly beheaded in presence of every
body, and under the notice of the English Consul, Mr. Mayer.
Is it to be believed that• the English Government will allow
such a crime, in open violation of tha law of nations, to go
unpunished ?

ANoTirrn LL'ETEIt, DATED CORFU, JULY 16.

Owing to the long prevalence of the north-west winds, we

have been without any positive details from Greece during the
last week ; there are, however, a variety of rumours afloat.
Amongst others, it is said that a body of Turkish troops,
which were advancing from Larissa, have been met by the
combined forces of Odysseus and Nikita, who drove them back
with great loss. On the other hand, a division of the Greek
fleet is reported to have cut off' three of the Egyptian fleet, and
destroyed a fourth, while forty ships and vessels were on their
way to Patras to attack the Canker) Paella, who continued to
remain off that place up to the 13th instant. I am, however,
confidently informed that he feels himself extremely ill at ease,
and has expressed a determination to return to the Dardanelles,
if the Puha% of Scutari and Thessaly do not advance to the
attack of Missolonghl, as projected previous to his arrival.
There is every reason to believe that the Capitan Paella's pa-
tience will be exhausted long before any of those gentlemen
make their appearance, for what with an hourly-expected rising
of the Montinegrins in the Pacha of Scutari 's rear, the recent
general insurrection of the inhabitants of Tricala and Taloa,
and the exertions of the force which has entered Livadia from
the Mores, they will have enough to do by acting on the de-
fensive.

I have heard nothing more of the assassination of the six
Greeks by Yousouf Paella, than that they had taken their pas-
sage from this port in a small vessel belonging to Corfu, and of
course bearing our flag. 1 ant informed that as soon as this
dreadful deed was communciated by our Consul at Pre.
vela, Actingm Sir Frederick Adam, the Lord High Co-
tnissioner, sent off a letter of remonstrance, expressing
his indignation at the act, and lamenting that some more
energetic steps was not taken to prevent the perpetration;
until inquiry should be made as to its justice.
Sir Graham Moore, the Naval Commander-in-Chief of the
Mediterranean, arrived here in the Rochefort of OD guns, on
the 11th, and sailed again on the 13th' taking with him the
Euryalus, Redpole, and Chanticleer. He is said to have gone
to Patna for the purpose of demanding an explanation from the
Captain Pacha ; and some go so far as to add, that the Admiral
has received instructions, to drive the:.Turkish fleet out of the
lonian sea altogether. Ile this as it may, nothing can exceed
the state of alarm into which its presence has thrown all the in-
habitants. The islands may, in tact, be said to be in a state of
'tartlet blockade, for ever since the massacres of the poor Greeks,
not u vessel dare sail.
Previous to Sir G. Moore's sailing, he issued an order just
received front the Admiralty, enjoining the most rigorous atten-
tion to the blockade of the Greeks. This measure is highly
creditable to Mr. Canning, for I suppose it has originated with
.him. So far from the report of the Marquis of 1 fasting's nomi-
nation to the place of Lord High Commissioner being confirmed,
lettere have recently arrived here, announcing the speedy return
Atf Sir T. Maitland. This will be a sad disappointment inr
Atose of our Greek friends who calculated so much on his
lanedship's coming. The pacificator of India could not termi-
nate his political career more gloriously than in contributing to
the regeneration of Greece.
P. S. I have opened my letter to inform you that the report
of the successes obtained by Odysseus and Nikita is fully con-
firmed by a letter received this instant from Missoloughi. With
respect to the Pachaa,-they are, as I said, in a state of the ut-
most disunion, if not consternation. Marco Botaaris, of
whom I have already had occasion to speak, is collecting a
corps in the vicinity of Salora, and together with my
excellent friend Giorgio Valtino, the Prefect of that place,
art to march towards Tricala as soon as possible to head
the armed population of Olympus. Notwithstanding - the
vigilance of the Cupium Pacha, whose fleet still hovers about
Patres, hesitating what course to pursue, the gun-boats of Mis.
SOI onghi have xuccoedea in capturing several Austrian vessels
laden with flour and other provisions destined for the castles of
Lepanto. You must know, and it cannot be too generally
circulated, that die Turks have for a long time been indebted
to the flag of that power, aided by one or two Bon British Consuls
and a few sordid English merchants settled at !ante, for sup-
! idies of every kind. Pray give publicity to this scandalous hut
incontrovertible feet, and do not forget to add, that while Aus-
trian ships enable the Turks to retain the places they imid in
the Mores and Epirus, Austrian agents are busily. employed
in calumniating tie British Government and people in the eyes
of the Greeks.

LITERARY NOTICE.

The ENCHANTED FLUTE, with other Poems ; and
Fables from LaFontaine- By E. P. Wot.rEnsTAN. evo.
Pp. 44Q.

This is an entertaining anti highly instructive
volume of Poems. The language of the " En-
chanted Flute" is written in an extremely easy,
and in many parts a very affecting stile. Cathe-
rine, whose mind

" Was rich, expanded and refin'd,"
is the undoubted heroine of the Poem. She was
" An only child in Derwent Dale ;
With parents wealthy, gen'rous, kind,
To faults, if she had any, blind—
As an illustration of the title of the Poem we
give the following extract
" How long, how listless seen-. 1 the day
Till Evening Wore her mantle grey,
And then—her darker robes put on--
O'er her swart brow-her diamonds shone.
" Delightful! At is here again !.
" My greedy ear devours the strain."
She caught the air, knew ev'ry note,
'Twas in her favirite Lauber Flote !
" The Zauber Flote ! Enchanted Flute !
44 How well that name and music suit !
" Upon the yeriname•l'doet—
. " Be it henceforth—:the Zauter Flute."
The address of Angelica-to Leonard after re.
ceiving his letter .(p, 15.) is. truly pathetic. One
'extract will suffice.
" as the shroud enfolds my stiffen'd
Kind be the parting tear that beauty dims.
Entomb my curse when sinks the setting sun,
And say resign'd, " her work of sorrow's done."
Let no cold marble ask the passing tear,
Or say, " The-poor AngeliCa lies here."
But, planted by thy liand, a cypress wave
• Its sable branches,o'er my silent grave.
Oft be the spot by. Leonard'a infant trod,
And as its tiny footsteps print the sod,
There bid the playful wand'rer haste to bring
The first pale primrose of awak'ning spring.
Bid him in after age the grave revere—
A Friend, a Father's Friend, lies bUried here.
We shall pass over Mrs. WOEFERSTAN'S mis-
cellaneous poems, and proceed to her Paraphrase
of the Fables of LA FOgTA IN E. Notwithstanding
several translations have appeared, no apology is
necessary to those who adniire " the perfect na-
ture and the playful .wit of LA PONTA I NE'S
Fables," for the attempt.to clothe some of them
in an 'English garb.—Thts celebrated writer en-
joyed the favours of the great, amongst whom
was the generous and, witty Madame de In
SABO ERE. She furnished him with an apartment
and all other necessaries'in her own house. One
day, having hastily turned away all her servants,'
she declared that she kept but three animals in
her, house, which were her dog, her cat, and. La
Fontaine. In his manner, which is so shnple and
delicate, so easy and„naturul, he is truly original.
11 compositions are' entirely- devoid of att./seta,
tion, but possessed of much nature ; his Wit up.
pears unstudied, awl So. Much pleasantry is hardly
to be met with, and impossible to be excelled;:-._
lie never *rims languid or heavy, but is atways
new and • surprising. Ilis first fables are more
valued than his last ; he Seems 'to have infused
the best of his tire and force into them, and both
the one amid the other have more sobriety and
correctness than his 44, Tides.,,
Our fair authoress has happily caught LA
FONTAINE'S manner, both in his strong humour
and keen wit. She has preserved his simplicity
and delicacy, his ease and unaffectedness; and
adhered with greater closeness to the original
than any. other translator, except in a few in-
stances, where, she confesses, " the temptation.
to enlarge or deviate was irresistible."
Mrs. WotscasTAN's original Poems and Son-
nets are written with the same' ease and simpli•
city. They are•calculated to44add to the stock
of innocent amusement, and aid time cause of re-
,'
ligion and virtue.
