LONDON.
THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 7, 1828.

The French Papers of Monday, and the
Gazette de France dated Tuesday, have been
received. Their contents are more curious than
important, if we except the arrest of some Greek
Chiefs whu were formerly at the head of the
Provisional Government. This circutnstance
has excited general astonishment, as the party
arrested belonged to what was called the
English of the Isles, who, since the arrival
of Count CAPO D'IsTRIA, have never ceased to
excite distrust against him, more especially since
the Russian declaration of war has been pub-
lished. It cannot be denied that the conduct of
the PRESIDENT is open to great suspicion at
the present moment. He appears to be not only

in the confidence of NICHOLAS, but receives
money from bim to carry on his plans, whether
of regeneration or ambition, is not yet very
manifest. Her Majesty the Empress Dowager
of RUSSIA has also opened her purse in a very
charitable spirit, and given 200,000 rubles in
silver for the poor of Greece. We had before
known that the Emperor NiciroLAs had lent
two millions of francs to the National Bank at 5
per scut. interest.

The Moniteur is angry at the freedom
which the Paris Journals have taken in

their comments upon the Expedition about
to sail from Toulon. The reports which they
spread too, respecting its equipment, and even

he place where it is to land, are denounced as

being, in their tendency, injurious to the inte-
rests of the public service, and only got up for
the purpose of gratifying an insatiable curio-
sity. The Gazette de France takes advantage of
this opportunity to rail against the Ministry for

not having foreseen these inconveniences when
it brought forward its law respecting the Jour-
nals. In short, it is sorry that the Censorship
has been abolished. It says that the Journals
are made to tell all that is passing, and to publish
their conjectures on what they know.

The close of the French Session is at hand.
The Chamber of Deputies finished its labours
on Saturday last.
According to the Courier Fiancais, the ex.
pedition td the IVlorea will not he purely mili-
tary; it will tend to the advantage of the Fine
'Arts, and of Science. A Committee of artistes
and savans is to be attached to the staff as in
the Egyptian expedition. They are to seek for
the- monuments whidi have escaped the van-
of the Turks, and to excavate where-
; •
ever
,t4ey think it will be useful. All the

materials which can he collected, will form the
tay.of a great Work ; an idea which cannot be
too much praised ; scientific conquests are the
Only durable ones. What would now remain to
Us of the brilliant campaigns against the Mame-
lukes and the Arabs—nothing, perhaps, but re-
gret., had We not raised an , indestructible monu-
ment of the gate of the arts in. ancient Egypt."
It addS; that ihe,.second part of the Expedition
:will be sent to the Morea in English ships from
the Adriatic.

',hid appears very questionable unless our Go-
vernment are ready to go halves with France in
the Mores,'- We repeat it, that the real objects
of the French-tiPedition are not yet positively
known ; events alone must develope them, and
by that time our Government will be left in the
lurch.

A Frankfort Paper of the 31st ult. says, that

the Allgemcine Zeilung, of the Bth July, con-
tains letters from Vienna and Bucharest, which
announce that the Russians had sustained some
reverses at Bazardjick ; but as the report is said
to have been brought to Vienna, by a Courier
who left the Russian head-quarters at Karassou
on the Bth July, and we know that the head-
quarters left that place on the fith, and as we
have an Official Bulletin from the Russian head-
quarters dated the I Ith, it is evident that the
accounts given by the above letters arc not en-
titled to any credit, except as to the fact that.
there had been a slight engagement with a corps,
under HASSAN or HUSSEIN PACHA, but the
importance and result of which were quite at'
variance with the statement in the letters from
Bucharest of the 13th.

Brussels Papers of yesterday's date have been
received this morning. Their contents relate
chiefly to commercial news, it appears that
the French are no friends to cigars manufactured
by their neighbours ; they prefer rather to smoke
their own jokes :

His Excellency 31. Boreel
Minister Plenipotentiary of Lis Majesty
, "g id. the
Netherlands, at Lisbon, accompanied by his la"y, arrived
!lure yesterday from Paris.
We have mentioned the arrival of the ship William /
capture by a Buenos Ayres privateer, and brought back t;
the Netherlands with the prize crew, by the skill and per„._
verance of Capt. Langbctec.
The Directors of the Insurance Company called Seeutitas
at Antwerp justly appreciating the service which the Cap-
tain has rendered it, ye:iterday voted the sum of 2,615
florins (10 per cent. of the lose it would have sustained) one
half to he given to the Captain and the other half to the
crew, the Captain's son, and the cook.

AUGUST 3.

The cannonade said to have been heard in the North
Sea, off Welbank, proceeded according to the report of some
merchantmen from the Russian squadron, which is gone
to the Mediterranean, and which performed some evoktions
on the 24th July, on that part of the coast.
It seems that his Royal Highness Prince Gustavus of ,

Sweden will remain in the service of Austria, notwith.
standing the advantages promised him by the King of thl
Netherlands, his future father-in-law.

AUGUST 4.

We think it our duty to warn Captains of ships going
to France not to have any cigars on board. The
Hojitung, Captain de Boer, of Ilaniburgh, having
arrived at Bourdeaux was seized by the Custom-house
officers, because it had 12,000 cigars concealed in the
cabin and the hold, which, by the laws of• the country,
is punished with the confiscation of the ship and cargo, and
a flue of 550 francs. Capt. Boer got off by paying 3,050
francs. The Anton Hermann, Capt. Zander, of Lubeck,
has also been seized at Bourdeaux for the same cause, and
had to pay 7,550 francs. A French ship from Calcutta has
paid on the same account a fine of 15,000 francs.

AUGUST 5.

We learn from Hamburgh that by a convention concluded
between the King of the Netherlands and the King of
Sweden and Norway, the men of war of the two Powets
are reciprocally to protect the merchantmen of both na-
tions in the Mediterranean and Archipelago.
On the 2d inst. the birth-day of Prince Alexander, second
son of the Prince of Orange, was kept with great festivity.
His Royal Highness, who is ten years of age, was on the
following- day raised by his Majesty to the rank of Colonel,
and also made a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the
Belgic Lion.

Letters from Gibraltar of the 17th ult. state
that his Majesty's ship the Wellesley, of 74
guns, having on board Vice-Admiral Sir PUL.
TENEY MALCOLM, who is going to replace Sir
EDWARD CODRINGTON in the naval command
in the Mediterranean, passed the Straits on the
13th. She did not come to anchor, but left
despatches for the Governor. The commerce of
Gibraltar was said to be daily on the decline.

Accounts from Semlin, of the 20th of July,
state that letters from Constantinople of the 9th
announce that the PORTE had formally declared
its acceptance of the Treaty of Loudon. A
confirmation of this was anxiously looked for by
the next Couriers. Whether the PORTE has
accepted the Treaty of London or not, it is clear
that circumstances alone will shortly compel a
measure which might formerly have been done
with, grace, but must now be done from necessity.

A French Paper, received this morning, says
that a great number of young Englishmen of
distinguished families have requested to be allowed
to serve under General MAISON as volunteers in
the Expedition to the Morea.—We doubt it.

It is stated that the French frigate Iphigenie,
which is now under quarantine at Toulon, has
brought accounts that IBRAHIM PACHA had
agreed to evacuate the Morea ; but that a short
tune Mier he signed the Convention he received
a firman from the SULTAN, ceding to him the
Pachalick of the Morea : however, he is said to
have promised to fulfil his engagement. We do
not believe a word of this, as a circumstance of
such importance must have transpired
unless, indeed, the French Government are un-
willing to lose their pretext for sending an expe-
dition to Greece.

We direct the admirers of Lord STRANG-
FORD to an article from the Times of this
morning, which will be found under the
spirit of the Public Journals. For such
a character we would not accept the em-
bassy to the Brazils. To the friends of liberty
and liberal principles,, it must be very consolatory
that the reviler of Mr. CANNING'S memory
would hardly be believed ou his oath—certainly

of en his honour, at ele Old Bailey ! But
is Lordship is a Poet as well as a Poli-

ticiau, and accordingly draws upon his fancy
for the few facts which give a colour of verisi-
militude to his works. He is confessedly the
best Irish translator of Portuguese that has lately
appeared in Diplomatic affairs, and renders- the
meaning of his author in a style the
strongly reminds us of the celebrated Echo
at the Lake of Killarney, which on tieing
asked " how do you do ?" Replied, " very
well, I thank you !" It was this hint which
enabled his Lordship to write that very charac-
teristic piece, at the English Opera, entitled,
He Lies like Truth.

Extract of a letter from Marseilles, dated
•
29th July :

" Thirty sail of vessels have just been freighted by the
French Government for the conveyance of troops, which
are supposed to be destined to the Mores, and it is ex-
pected that an additional number of vessels will be taken
up for the same object in the course of a few days."

THE F'UNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELPE 0' CLOCK

Consols left off heavy yesterday evening at 86•74
but were done shortly after in the Alley at h lower;
this morning the first price was 86-,L, became
buyers at 86i, but again went back .to the former
rate ; at this period a Hebrew dealer went into •the
market as a buyer and made a purchase of 30,000/.
which operated on the nerves of the Bears so effec-
tually that a gradual improvement took place to 87,
rather buyers, at which they remain. The Commis-
sioners for the reduction of the National Debt made
their first purchase to-day, on the reduced scale,
and bought 20,2001. at 87. The premium on India'
Bonds and Exchequer Bills remains stationary, the
former being 112 14, and the latter 72 3.
The Foreign Stock market has no feature to de-
mand the least attention, and since the commence-
ment of business scarce a transaction has taken place.
In Shares there is nothing doing, the following
are the nominal quotations.

In the City we are without any political intelli-
gence of the least moment, it is expected, however,
the void will shortly be amply tilled up.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.—Aug. 5.
This morning there was again some heavy rain, which,
however, appears to have been partial, and although there
was a good attendance of country millers at market, the
transactions were not extensive. The choicest Wheat,
either English or Irish, brought fully an advance of 2d.
per 70Ibs. ; but in the secondary and inferior qualities
there was little or no improvement. There were several
buyers of Mealing Oats. Flour is Is. and Oatmeal 6tl.
per pack dearer. In the value of Barley, Beane, or Pease,
no change.
