Extracts from Me Morning Papers, Oct. I.

[IIIORNiNCi cultorticLE.]
Information was received yesterday by the
steam-ship from Holland, which leaves little
doubt that the Greek fleet has obtained a great
victory over that of the Capitan Pacha, in the vi-
cinity of she Island of Samos. On Wednesday
morning last The Chronicle announced the receipt
of the intelligence from Navarino, dated on the
31st of August, of the defeat of the Ottoman
fleet, and of the capture of three frigates and
about thirty other vessels of an inferior descrip-
tion. By the Dutch Mail this victory is repre-
sented to have been much more decisive than the
letters from Navarino represented it, for it com-
municates the receipt of letters from Corfu, dated
ou the 31st of August, and on the 3d of Septem-
ber, which, in addition to the number of Turkish
ships, mentioned to have been captured, in the
advises from Navarino, state, that the line-of-
battle ship, which carries the flag of the Captain
Pacha, had been blown up during the action, and
that his Highness and the whole of the crew had
perished in the conflagration. The Greek Ad-
miral Cattails, un Ipsariot, who, after the late
sacking of his native island, had vowed revenge
on the authors of that great calamity, is repre-
sented by the Dutch accounts to have nobly re-
deemed his pledge, for he commanded in person
the fire-ship which was directed against the
Turkish Admiral's ship, and fell, with the whole
of his gallant comrades, in performing a signal
service to his country and to human nature. The
devotion which, on all occasions, the Greeks
shew in the cause of the independence of their
formerly illustrious country, and the desperate
nature of the conflict in which they are engaged,
induce a confidence in the final issue of their
splendid labours in the cause of liberty. It is
only extraordinary, that the admiration, which
their patriotism and bravery must raise in every
mind at all conversant in the history of the hu-
man race, has not as yet created that sympathy
for their sufferings amongst Christian Princes,
which would at once restore their country to in-
dependence, and add to the society of European
nations the Empire' of the descendants of the an-
cient Greeks, to whom civilization is under the
deepest obligations.

[MORNING HERALD.]
Tuesday's Paris Papers arrived last niht.—
The entry of Charles X. into the capital is de-
scribed with the utmost pomp and circumstance.
lie was attended by a grand cortege and vast
concourse from the barrier, where he had the
keys of the city presented to bim, witl► an ad-
dress from the Municipality—to the cathedral of
Notre Dame, where he was addressed with a
profusion of pious incense, by the Archbishop of
Paris and his Clergy—and thence to the Tuileries.
Charles X. does not rival his predecessor in
Lora snots. The only one recorded of him, is
that after his return to the Tuileries, he declared
himself " satisfied and not tired." This may
have been very true—but it is also very point-
less. The fulsome declamations► in some of the
Journals, on this occasion, are rare specimens
of fustian and effrontery. Facts the most no-
torious are bounded over, or rather trampled
down, with an intrepidity that is amusing.—
For instance, Charles X. is called the van-guard
of the Bourlions, who entered France un-
known after an absence of thirty-six years, and
in twenty-four hours raised an army of a million
of men, and effected the restoration ! But by
what means did he effect this ?—simply by his
cockade and his face (sa cocarde et son visage).
The person who has had the face to make this
assertion must have extraordinary powers of face
indeed. if the armies of confederated Europe
had not already passed the Rhine and time Py-
renees, the escort of the Count d'Artois would
have been very different indeed. It is surpris-
ing that the writer did not ascribe to him the
credit of the battle of Waterloo. At the same
One, In the midst of this vapid stuff, there ap-
pears to be a favourable fettling towards the new
Monarch—and his public measures, as far as
they have gone, which, however, are, as yet, very
inconsiderable and indecisive, afford rather an
auspicious promise.

[THE TIMES.]
:The French Papers of Tuesday, which arrived
last night, are chiefly filled with accounts of the
entry 'of Charles X. into Paris, and, of the splen-
did prOeession through that city to' Notre. Dame
and his Palace. We have given in another co-
lumn as much of these statements and descrip-
tion as can be expected 'to excite any interest in
the English reader. The Uonslitutionnel, in a
litter dated from Missolonghi, gives a. biogra-
phical sketch of Prince Mavrocorelatos, whose
name has become so celebrated in the annals of
Greek independence. Ile is stated to -be a
descendant of the Minister Mavrocordatos,
Who attended the Congress of Carlowitz, and
who received his title of Prince from the Christian
Powers with whom he treated in that assembly.
Aleitander Muvrocordatos, who now supports
the cause of Greek freedom, is now only about
34 years of age, and is: described as a man of
rare talents and great
,acquirements. When a
youth he accompanied his uncle, Prince Caratza,
to the province of Walachia, and was there em-
ployed in several posts of trust and danger.—
When the standard of Greek independence was
raised in 1811, he was in Italy, whence he has-
ieried to the aid of his countrymen and their
Cause. Disembarking at Missolonghi, he instantly
perceived the advantage of that position for the
defence of Western Greece. After defending that
plice with great credit to himself in 1822, he pro-
Ceeded Peloponnesus ; but' seeing that he
Could do nothing there, he returned to Etoliai
and afterwards repaired to Snub to gain over the;
Soullots to his cause. In this he succeeded.—
Ileturning to Etolia, he established. the:Local
Government of Vitestern Greece, which led to
the formation of a Central Congress representing
the Greek nation, of which lie was elected Pre-
sident. This Assembly adjusted the Government
which at present prevails in Greece, so far as that
