French are too fond of glory to remain inactive
in the Morea. They must have something to
boast of on their return to France, and surely
the occupation of evacuated fortresses or de-
vastated
plains will afford them no theme of
exultation. No, the genius of France must
have mere substantial glory to reward the toil of
its army, and recompence the generosity of the
nation :

CORFU, AUG. 4.

The French expedition is to arrive in the course of next
month, and in case Ibrahim should still be in the Mores,
it is to land at some point where there are no Egyptian
troops, and where the communication by land between
them and the Turkish depots can be cut off, perhaps in the
vicinity of Patras. The English in this island affirm
(what to us seems very doubtful) that this expedition will
be conducted in the same spirit as the blockade by sea has
hitherto been, and that it will not commit any act of hosti-
lity ; that it will depend, therefore, on the Egyptian
commander whether he will by his resistance com-
pel the French army, which will consist of about
15,000 men, to employ hostile measures against him, and
thereby prolong its stay in the Morea ; that the French Go-
vernment hound itself to recal the expedition as soon as the
object for which it was fitted out shat; be accomplished. As
the Egyptian troops, notwithstanding the ♦igorous blockade
by sea, have been hitherto supported, and have drawn their
provisions from the land side, all the efforts of the allied
squadrons were of no use towards the fulfilment of the sti-
pulations of the Treaty of London, till some means were sug-
tested which must tend to the evacuation of the Mores, with.
out bloodshed. This means is the expected expedition, and it
admits of no doubt that the deliverance of Greece by foreign
troops will be speedily effected in this manner, and that
Ibrahim Paella, who has endeavoured to maintain himself
in the Mores, more out of fear of responsibility than his
own inclination, will make use of the opportunity to re-
lieve himself with honour from the embarrassment. The
Egyptian troops must latterly have been greatly reduced in
their number, as he declined in the conferences at Navarin,
to state to the Admirals the number of ships that lie would
require for the embarkation of his troops, and endeavoured
to evade answering their question, by saying that he knew
already hew many ships he would want. It is now said
that the English ships, stationed at Malta, have been ordered
to sail to Toulon, to assist in conveying the French troops
assembled there to the Morea.

AUGSBURGH, AUG. 21.

The Magistrates and Citizens of the Catholic city of
Freiburg had resolved to ereet a colossal statue in bronze
to his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Baden, in com-
memoration of the foundation of the Archbishopric there.
The wish of the Protestant inhabitants, however, to have a
new and commodious church, and the desire of the Catholic
inhabitants to give their brethren a proof of concord and
Christian charity, induced the Magistrates to enquire of the
Grand Duke whether it would not be more agreeable to
his intentions that the sum designed far his statue should be
set apart as the first contribution towards the building of
a Protestant church. His Royal Highness, in an autograph
letter of the 13th Aug., has given his consent to this pro-
posal, in the most gracious manner.

An article from Bucharest, dated August 6,
says that no report of any thing decisive having
taken place between the Russians and Turks at
Shumla, had been received there. Should any
action of moment have been fought even on the
4th, there is no doubt that its result would have
reached Bucharest by the 6th, or even sooner.

The Precursor of Lyons takes notice of a
report prevalent in the South that an Army of
Observation is to be formed upon the borders of
Piedmont, from an apprehension entertained that
Austria has views of aggrandizement in that
quarter. The French expedition to the Morea
is said, and with good reason, to cause Austria
much uneasiness.

At a late hour yesterday afternoon we re-
ceived the Hamburgh Reporter, extracts from

Extract of a private letter from Mexico, dated
July 12
The Government are using all their efforts to obtain the
money for the dividends due in London, and the Minister
of Finance, Esteva, is endeavouring to get it ready for the
end of September : he has a great interest in so doing, as
he will gain himself the reputation of a good Minister of
Finance, which will also procure him a number of votes
for the election of President ; but it is thought he will not
succeed, as the politics of General Guerrero will prevent
it. It is expected that either Domenquez or Gomez
Pedreva will be nominated President of the Republic.

A meeting of merchants took place at Liver-
pool to memorialize Government for the sup-
pression of piracy in the South American Seas.

The harvest, by accounts from all parts of the
country, is going on most prosperously. The
weather is fine—the people are in high spirits
and actively employed—and, what is not') better
than all, the Jobbers for a rise are most griev-
ously disappointed. It is the disgrace of this
country that every thing is turned to speculation
for the most nefarious purposes by persons
who are termed when they succeed in making a
good thing of it—men of enterprise and public
spirit ! Public robbery would be a much more
fitting appellation ; and those who know the cap
will fit, may wear it.

BRUNSWICK CLUBS.—We are happy to

TANNING TRADE.—Within the last month
there has been a great improvement in the tanning trade,
and it is brisker at present than it has been since the ter-
mination Of the war. Abundance of green hides can be
got, there is an excellent demand for tanned leather, and
Most of the proprietors are both causing their men to work
over hours, and are sinking additional pits. During the
late dulness, the workmen's society were obliged to relieve
about a dozen " tramps" in the week, but they have not
seen (me for two months past, a proof that all hands are
empioyed.—spoinnap.
