Extracts from the Morning Papers, Aug. 31.

[BRITISH ',lass.]
The just but dreadful vengeance inflicted by
the Greeks on the Turkish garrison of desolated
psara is now placed beyond all doubt. It appears,
its we before stated, that the Greek fleet defeated
the armament of the Capitan Pacha with very
great loss, immediately after the disembarkation
of the Turks, and that, having driven the barba-
ziaus to take refuge at Mitylene, the Greeks re--
turned, and put to the sword all the Turks they
found on the island. We rejoice to learn that
the bravery and devotedness of the Ipsarlotes,
women as well as men, were of the highest order,
and that the abused language we so often hear,
of the readiness of men to die in defence of their
country, was not exaggerated by these most gal.
hat patriots. The most glorious days of ancient
Greece seem to open afresh upon us, to gild with
unfailing; renown the struggle of the modern
Hellenists for freedom and independence. Se-
veral Hydriote fire-ships had sailed in quest of
the Ottoman fleet. We shall look with anxiety
for the news of their success. Every Christian
heart must heat strongly in their favour. We
care little about the Egyptian squadron, when
the Capitan Pacha shall be destroyed. We have
always doubted the sincerity of the intentions of
the wily Viceroy, to waste his strength in
terminating a contest which it is rather
his interest to prolong. —We know that
the Pacha of Egypt has for seine time
been taking those steps which clearly indicate his
intention to establish a sovereign dominion for him-
self over the provinces he now governs. His time is
hardly yet come to declare himself, but he will,
we are satisfied, take good care to husband his
means for his own defence, when circumstances
shall render it prudent and necessary for him to
put an end to the dubious policy he is now fol-
lowing. Samos was still unsubdued ; and if the
Hydriote vessels fall in with the Turkish fleet,
its subjugation will not be attempted. The
Turks have already suffered severely ; above
20,000 of their troops have been sacrificed to the
manes of the massacred Greek Islanders.—
Success has raised the ardour of the Patriots to
enthusiasm, and they fight like men to whom
victory is assured by the promise of Heaven.—
Another defeat will take from the Turks all
hope of again subduing any portion of the Greek
territoi y. The expedition of the Capitan Pucka
Was the &fernier effort of the infidels. Henceforth
they will be driven to defensive measures, and
they will deem themselves fortunate if the in-
spired veal of the Christians suffers them to con-
tinue in possession of an acre of the soil once
consecrated by the holy influence of the trium-
pliant cross.

The Cours Au/he/a/quo of Saturday gives the
closing price of tbt Reeks in Paris at 101 5,
they having been done in the earlier part of that
day as high as 101 C 5 ; and we find from the
List that the closing price for account
was 100 90. The money, which in contempla-
tion of the proposed law on the Rentes had been
withdrawn from Paris, is now finding its way
back again, and by its, abundance in Paris
tends daily to raise the Stocks. The Onion-
stances which have just appeared in the
Mo-
7ritettr are of no slight political import, us
far as regards the internal affairs ef France.--
M. De Villele appears to have done much
towards conciliating the Clergy, by advising
the creation of a new Ministerial Department
for the direction of Ecclesiastical talks, and by
recommending to that elevation the celebrated
Prelate il. De Frayssinous. At the same time,
the concerns of the Protestants are with great
propriety separated from the province of the
new Minister, mid committed to the charge
of M. Cuvier, himself a Member of that Cont.
:minion. These circumstances, however, are
regarded with less interest than the new ar-
rattgentent of the Cabinet Council, the par.
ticulars of which are also set forth in an Or-
dominance. It is believed that this arrange-
ment is preparatory to the appointment of a
Regeocy, to relieve the King from the official
burthens wilich begin to be too heavy for his
state of health. It is even said to be in contem-
plation to Submit a law for this purpose to the
two Chambers when they re..ussemble. Mean-
while, should a demise of the Crown occur, the
existence of a Regency, in virtue of the Ordon-
*mice, would obviate all the inconveniences Of
such an event. Viewed as a precautionary men-
Lire, this scheme appears to act favourably on
Public Credit.

[monrctrin HERA 61).1
Saturday's Paris Papers arrived last night.
They are chiefly taken up with the Ordinances
published officially in the Moniteur, for the new
organizing the Council of State. There is but
one circumstance in these Ordinances at all
worth notice. It is that M. Berths de Vaux,
proprietor of the Journal des Debuts, and two
other members, friends of M. de Chateaubriand,
have been removed from the Council. The King
of France has, as usual, launched personal com-
pliments and bon mots on occasion of the fete of
St. Louis. It was suggested that holding a Court
might prove too fatiguing for his state of health.
But the Alonarch magnanimously replied, " that
a King of France may die, but must never be
sick. This is not the happiest of his sallies.
The converse of the proposition would have more
semblance of truth ; and without this semblance
there is no wit. Ifis Majesty's answer to the
Nuncio, who addressed him in the name of
the Diplomatic Corps, is said to have excited the
admiration of ail who heard it. But not the
slightest morcenu is recorded by the Court News-
man of the Tuileries. There is something in the
tone of these paragraphs, from which it might be
inferred that the present King of France is hardly
expected to reach another anniversary of his pa-
tron Saint, and that his lint saying* are gathered
up like the last el-taunt of the dying swan,
however, was able to take en airing. The Du-
chess of Berri has returned to Paris from Dieppe.
There are various articles, and professing to come
