Extracts from the French Papers of Friday,
and the Gazette de France dated Saturday,
will be found in another column. It will be
seen that the French are actively preparing to fit
out an expedition, which is said to be destined
for Greece. Toulon is the port of rendezvous.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 9th inst. says
that the King of PRUSSIA, in his paternal care
for the maintenance and diffusion of genuine
Evangelical Christianity, has ordered the sup-
pression of the Branch Missionary Society at
Dasseldorf, for practising immorality and illegal
acts. We suspect his MAJESTY had other
reasons for this course of proceeding

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
We received this afternoon by express the
French Morning Papers of Saturday, from which
we extract the following Proclamation of Count
CAPO D'ISTRIAS, on his accession to the
Government of Greece. The Gazette de France
of yesterday has not been received. The French
Funds had not varied :

EGINA, FEB. 10.
PROCLAMATION OF THE GOVERNOR OF
GREECE.
If Providence is for us, no person can be against us.
At length lam amongst you, and render thanks to God.
The lively satisfaction with whit.`► you received me, and
the confidence with which you surround me, pierces my
heart, but the moment is not yet arrived that I can testify
the whole of my duty, but I hope, the moment that your
Representatives shall be legally assembled, I will make
known to them the communications that I am entrusted
with, that you will find that the only object of my journey
and my efforts, since the month of May last, was to relieve
our dear country from the hard and isolated situation in
which it is placed, to the present day; and at the same
time to restore without delay the happiness promised by the
first paragraph of the additional article of the Treaty of Lon-
don of 6th July last, as well as to procure to it the pecuniary
resources on the part of all the Powers who have signed
that Treaty. The honours rendered on the 24th of this
month had for object the Installation of your new Go-
vernment, but its ends are not yet acconlplished, but they
shall be the moment the Government of the Interior, strong
by its laws, can deliver you from anarchy ; then you can
give to the Allied Sovereigns a pledge of your duty to-
wards them, but before this period you have no
right to hope for the assistance that I implore for
you. I am much afflicted that the National Assembly
of Trezene have not furnished to the Senate sufficient force
to cause its independence to triumph. It will be impossible
to convoke a national assembly before April, but during
this interval, should the state of affairs continue, it will de-
stroy all our hopes and deprive you of the immense sacri-
fices you have made and sustained with so much bravery.
The public character which I have sustained for more than
30 years, and the favours 1 have obtained from several
Courts of Europe, will prove to you that the only object of
my resolution is to preserve you from the horrid come
quenee of an arbitrary Government.
(Signed) CAPO D'ISTRIAS.

ECINA, FEB. 2.
At the close of the proclamation the President of Greece
established a provisionary government muter the name of
Panhellenium, composed of 27 members.
The accounts from Franckfort, state that a grand move-
ment of the Austrians has taken place towards Hungary ;
Prussia is also making military preparations, but the
German funds have not fallen.

A report prevailed at Paris that Metternich had
arrived there ; also that the Sultan had been strangled.,
The above caused a trifling rise.

Gibraltar Chronicles to the 25th February,
mention that they had experienced another heavy
gale of wind from the South-west, attended with
a heavy sea, on the 23d ; but the mischief done
was not of much importance, and its fury had
abated on the 25th.—Wind on the 25th, North-
west.

A private letter, received by a most respecta-
ble firm in the City this morning, from Mar-
seilles, dated the Bth March, states that the
French Government had given orders to freight
vessels as transports, for the purpose of convey-
ing 15,000 men to the Morea, and corn was

rapidly rising in consequence.
An article in the Courier Francais of Satur-
day confirms the above. Four thousand men
are to be taken from the garrisons of Toulon
And Marseilles, who are ordered to be ready for
embarkation at a moment's notice. Three hun-

total destruction of her marine and her commerce,
in the cherishing of which, and not in the ac-
quisition of territory, her true interests palpably
lie. Her bitterest enemies can wish her no greater
misfortune than the increase of bulk, without the
adhesive principles of freedom and civilization.

It was only when effeminacy had prepared the
Roman. Empire for the yoke, that the barbarians
of the North became formidable by their num-
bers and brutal courage, nor shall we apprehend
danger from the numerical strength of the Rus-
sian armies whilst our national customs and
manly sports preserve an indomitable spirit,
which is to be found under the costumes of our
countrymen as well as under a Russian bear-
skin. Many a scented lounger in Bond-street
has passed through scenes of carnage, and would
cheerfully exchange a life of fashion for the
tented field, did his country again require his
services,

- But sorry should we be to see Russia betray
such a spirit of aggrandizement, as would at all
events detach her from an alliance with the two
greatest and most civilized nations in the world,
who, we hope, have buried their animosities for
ever, and are resolved to go hand in hand,
in extending to all other kingdoms the blessings
of Freedom and good Government. Russia
may have private causes of complaint against
Turkey, which may authorize an invasion of her
frontier to enforce redress, but we cannot
believe that she has insidiously covered purposes
of ambition, by joining in an alliance, having
for its avowed object the liberation of Greece,
while in her secret purpose she had appropriated
it to herself. Such treachery would alone draw
down on her the vengeance of her formidable
Allies, who, as long as they gloriously act toge-
ther in the cause of humanity, must be the
umpires of Europe, as they were formerly her
curse, in the display of mutual and unnatura
hatred.
