FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Etoik.)
VIENNA, SEPT. 25.—The Austrian Observer gives to-
day the following news from Greece
" The attempt made by the Greeks to raise the block-
ade of the citadel of Athens has failed. The following is
the account given by an eye-witness, in a letter, dated
Thu), the 28th August.
" In order to relieve the Acropolis, and to oblige the
Pubes Redschid and Omer, the Tacticos of Fabvier, the
irregular troops of Vass° and Lecco, and some hun-
dred Albanians, under KAraiskaki, assembled at salamis,
and had landed on the 16th August (that is the day after
the taking of Athens) at Leusira (the ancient Eleusis);
between Athens and Megara. They arrived during the '
night at the entrance of the plain, but the delay of Pali-
' cans (young heroes), and the want of concert arnong,the
other chiefs, caused them to lose the favourable moment
for a surprise.
" Fabvier wished to advance into the plain, and it is
certain that a sudden'aml unexpected attack offered to the
Greeks great advantages over the Turks, who were en-
camped without any order; they might have made them-
selves masters of all their artillery, &c., for carrying on the
siege. But instead of marching against the enemy, they
waited till the Turks came to attack them. The Palicaris
had entrenched thernselves according to their custom.
The Tacticos alone formed regularly, exposed to the fire of
the Turkish cannon..

" They fought the whole night with doubtful success.
The Greeks, though' with less advantage, might still have
advanced. Fahvier and Karaiskaki, the most resolute of

their leaders, wished to make a combined charge with the
Taetieos and Palicaris, but the latter refused to advance
under the enemy's fire; they even began a retrogade move-
ment, which was communicated to the other corps.
" All hastened • to Eleusis to re-embark, abandoning on
. _ _

the field of battle- their arms, baggage, two pieces of can-
non and three standards. Happily for the Greeks, the
Turks did not attempt to pursue them.
" It resultS, from this action that the Turks are at pre-
sent masters of Eastern and Western Gaeece, with the
exception of the citadel of Athens.
"Anarchy still prevails in Napoli,di Romania,. the Go-
vernment continues to reside in the fort of Bourski, at the
entrance of the port. The military chiefs diiipute the'
other positions with each other by 'arms. -It is affirmed
that Goura hunself, fearing that his own troops would not
re-enter the Acropolis if he left it, was obliged to remain
an inactive spectator of the battle, which was fought under
his eyes."

AUGSBURG, SEPT. 30.—The Observer of Trieste con-
firms the news which we have already given from our own
correspondent. A steam-boat from London with the
English nag, and which had remained forty days in the
port of Cagliari to repair its machinery, put to sea again
on the 26th of August steering towards Greece.
Two days afterwards a schooner arrived at Cagliari,
likewise under the Engligh flag. It is affirmed that Lord
Cochrane in person was on board this vessel. On learn-
ing that the steam-boat had gone before him, he also put
to sea, after stopping about six hours.

SIR---The Government has just been officially informed

_ .
that M. Buchet de Martigny, sent to Santa Fe Bogota as
French Consul-in-Chief, entered o► his functions on the
77th June last, consequently the intention of the King is,
that the Decree which I notified on the 13th of this
month, and which permits Mexican vessels to hoist their
flags in the ports of the kingdom, shall extend also to those
of Colombia.

You will be pleased to conform to this regulation in :.11
that concerns you, and make it known to the .principal
Commanders of vessels at. Havre. They will see in it. ft
new proof of the solicitude of his Majesty for the interests
of French commerce.

FRANKVORT, SEPT. 29.—(Extraet of a Private Letter
from Brussels.)—The Baron Schalader, Minister of Russia
to the Court of the Netherlands, set out yesterday for
Berlin in a manner totally unlocked for. Our news from
the North agree in stating, that the greatest activity pre-
vails in all the public offices ; and that for the last.month,
the couriers which have been despatched. through Europe
in every direction, are more than doubled in number. I
have not the presumption, as you know, to penetrate into
the secrets of Ministerial and diplomatic cabinets, but ex-
perience convinces me that commercial correspondence
seldom deceives 10,1 on the state of affairs in Europe ; and
that -thelanguage of.diploniaey .assures one more and More
that we should believe precisely the contrary to what it
announces. My, interests hays been already benetitted by
acting on this principle, on which, at this moment, I more
firmly rely than ever. The extreme anxiety which affects
all minds at this present time relative to the consequences
the events of the South and North of Europe, has for
some eamths produced, in our commercial relations, a de-
gree of uncertainty, difficulty, and distress, which has di-
minished at least one-half of our transactions in the
North. Every one is putting himself on his guard against
the new financial revolution, which•is announced by his
Correspondents, and which it is feared will hasten that
crisis which now pursues its course in Great Britain,
and which has already produced so many disasters there.
A volume would not suffice to inform you of the alarming
reports which are sent to us from all quarters with regard
to the state of trade, the natural effect of which is to

destroy confidence, to contract the -circulation of money,
and to limit commercial intercourse. • Without blindly
trusting to these reports, some of which are evidently
:exaggerated or premature, we have• only to east our eyes
over-Europe, to be convinced that the greater part of them
are founded in reality. And this conviction is confirmed
by the news which we • receive every day from our corn-
nercial travellers. For it is now a long time since we have
received any other communication by means of the
Austrian or Russian post-office, than that which they
thought proper to give us with respect to the events of
the North or the ',East. And besides, it is probable that
the increasing importano of these" events, as far es our
'enimercial alight era concerneJ, )vill render this mode of
ennnin4ation still more difficult, The consequence of
this will be, that new modes of compromicatiop yvill be
opened, over whk these. Governments shall intyg no
con-
'trim!. Free commerce play be regarded as the vide;
(vitiate) of politics.

The question as to the right of reporting lio pro-
ceedings of a court of justice, appears to have been iv-
cently brought to issue in two cases—the one at Wim-
borne, and the other at the late Prome petty sessions.
On what grounds the refusal was made, in either in-
stance, it is impossible to conjecture. To assume

obliquity in the 1 :

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1826.

We received last night the Paris Papers of Wed-
nesday, and the .toile dated Thursday morning.
Their contents are not important. The Etoik gives
in detail the accounts which we published some days
since, of the defeat of the Greek troops in Athens and
its neighbourhood, from which we learn that the re-
mains of the corps under FABVIER and their other
Leaders were obliged to embark with precipitation at
Eleusis, abandoning their arms, baggage, two pieces
of cannon, and three standards. By this unfortunate
defeat the Turks are now masters of Eastern and
Western GrPtce, vith the exception of the citadel of
,
Athens.

The official letter from the Minister of Marine to
the Commissary General of the Marine at Havre, per-
mitting Colombian vessels to hoist their flags in the
ports of France, which we mentioned a few (lays since,
is also published in these papers. The Icing of
FRANCE has thus
publicly acknowledged the flog of
Colombia, and it is idle after this, to talk of the poli-
tical .
independence of that State not haying been re-
cognised by the French Government.

It is stated iu advises from St, Petersburg)) of
the 13th tilt. that the Army of the Don, which is
entirely of Cossacks, had received ort)eis to
pacomsspotiAl I.:
la he T
the in full force, and join the Army
under General YERmoL Georgia. oyo
Hetman General Howitisici, had already advanced
his Head Quarters to Mosdok.
Directions had likewise been sent to Astracan for
the equipment of the ships of war on the Caspian
sea, so that they might be ready to act against the

Persians in the event of hostilities actually taking
place. From these measures we may infer tint
Russia is determined to act with vigour against Persia,
if war should be unavoidable ; but that a probability
still exists that it may be ave►ted by the awe which
these preparations may excite in that kingdom.
Extracts will be found in another column.

A mail from La Guayra, arrived this morning,
bringing papers to the 16th of August.
The El Colombian° says, that Colonel O'LEARY,
aid-de-camp to BOLIVA R, had arrived at Bogota, with
important dispatches from the Liberator, for the
Government and General PAEZ. The contents of

these communications were not made public, but it
was said that BOLIVAR bad refused to interfere in

the war now carrying on between Brazil and Buenos
Ayres. was stated that BOLIVAR would not
arrive at Bogota before November, but other accounts
Were positive that, the urgency of affairs would hasten
his return`; and some even went so far as to assert that

he was at Panama in July, which does not appear at
all improbable, as he would no doubt feel an interest
in being present at the Congress of the American
Republics, while discussing the laws which is to
regulate their future destiny. The presence of a
man who has secured their independence must greatly
influence their proceedings, and tend to imbue them
with a portion of that exalted and universally liberal
spirit for which BouvAn is so eminently distin-
guished : _

CARACCAS, AUG.

By.letters from Bogota, of the 10th of July, we learn
that Colonel O'Leary, Aid-de-Camp to his Excellency
the Liberator, arrived in that city on the Sth of the same
month with important dispatches for Government and
General Paez ; the Republic will await the result of this
communication with extreme anxiety. We have under-
stood that Col. O'Leary has arrived in Valencia, but we
believe that the former statement of his Ittving proceeded
to join General Paez in the Apure to be correct.
We learn from respectable authority, that his Excellency
the Liberator, has refused to take part in the war now
raging between the Empire of Brazil and the Republic of
Buenos Ayres, and further, that it was his design, under
any circumstances, to be in Colombia by the end of Nov.'
The important scenes now acting, however, warrant the
presumption that that period will be shdlened; indeed, we
have seen letters from Bogota of July 41.0, which state, that
on that date he was supposed to be in Panama. .
We have received Bogota Papers of the 10th of July.
They are filled with the official documents which appear-
ed in this and other papers some time since, on the sub•
jest of our present political circumstance., with the corn•
ments of the Editor thereon.

earaceas Papers of the 9th An gust have also been
teceived at the North and South Arnerican Coffee.

Ist, That the national honour and faith are compromised in
the most solemn and authentic manner, for the payment of the
said interest, and a proportion of the principal, and that a failure
in so sacred a duty would rob the Republic of its credit, and there.
with of the best guarantee of its prosperity;
2dly, That in order to avoid this misfortune, and discharge so
indispensable an obligation, now that our political and financial
affairs on the one :land, and shortness of time on the other, have
not permitted the revenue laws to be as productive as might have
been expected uader other circumstances, it becomes necessary to
remind Colombians of the duty imposed on theMby the Constitu.
tion of contributing to the public expences, and manifest that the
nation has both the desire and means of fulfilling its engagements.;
idly, That these engagements may be met by anticipating the
direct conttibutions, gradually, repaying the same hereafter at a
convenient opportunity;
_ _

4tllly, Tat this measure will be the least burthensome to those
who come under the necessary advance, inasmuch as, after two
years of tranquillity and peaceable pursuits, they cannot be
grievously inconvenienced by an advance, which will in no wise
affect the several undertakings, and one which is destined for an
object intimately connected with the prosperity of the country
