LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 11, 1826.

The Paris Papers of Saturday, including the
Etoile, dated Sunday morning, reached town by Ex-
press, last night. These Papers are more than usually
interesting. The Etoile states that accounts from
Prevesa mention, that the vanguard of the Seraskier
has been beaten at Attica, and that he is falling back
upon Missolonghi and Lepanto.

The Courtier Francaise announces the arrival of
Lord COCHRANE at Malta, with a squadron of seven-
teen 'veSSels, five of which are steam-boats ; but the
Etoile contradicts this, upon the ground that the neu-
tral policy of England, with regard to the affairs of
Greece, would not have permitted the conveyance of
ammunition for the service of belligerent powers--.-nor
the entrance of such an armament into an English pc,l-t.
An article from St. Petersburgh contains a letter
from the EMPEROR to the Army of the Don, be-
stowing upon it, as a reward for its unalterable. fidelity,.
the sabre which the Emperor ALEXANDER used to
wear, which his Majesty directs to be preserved among
the insignia
,of the Army of theHDOn, as a monument
of its achievements in arms, and of its services, and a
pledge of the uninterrupted good-will of its Sovereign.

ment, including Mavroeordato, are in prison. . .

Accounts from Prevesa, of June 1, inform us that the van-
guard of the Seraskier has been beaten at Attica, and that an
officer of hi; army has arrived at I'revesa,,and announces. that the
General is falling back upon Missolonglii and Lepanto.
Inunoiliately after the arrival of a courier despatched from
Paris to General Ponsonby, the Lord High Commissioner, pro
temPore, his Excellency despatched the Naiad frigate, Captain
Spencer, to Trieste, having on hoard Colonel Bathurst, sent on a
mission to Vienna.

This morning the Marquis Paulucei arrived here from Trieste,
on boird a ship of the line of '74, guns.
The Duke of Richelieu and his travelling companions are still
here. •

PA it is, JULY B.—The Augsburg .Gazette says—..,t A letter
from Trieste, of June 25, 'says that pews has been received there
by * private letter fruni 18Ialta.of the 7th of the same mouth, of
the arrival in that island of a vessel laden with warlike stores
sent from England by Lord Cochrane, whose speedy arrival it is
said to have announced."

The Courrier Prancaise goes further—it announces the arrival
of Lord Cochrane at Malta with a squadron, composed of 17 yes-
seli, five of which are steam-boats.

We believe that we may deny the truth of such a piece of news.
Every body knows the proclamation of the King of England,•
Which enforces all the provisions of the laws against the convey-
ance of ammunition for the service of the helligerent powers,
towards whom Great Britain has promised to observe neutrality.
How can the (;currier Francaise suppose that the vessels of
Lord Cochrane could enter so freely an English port ?
During the whole of the last Session the Opposition Journals
have reproached the French Ministry with having observed a strict
neutrality in the affairs of Greece. Now these tactics are changed,
they announce that all the French vessels fit for sea, and all those
that were on the coast of Spain have sailed for the Levant, for the
,purpose of seconding the Commissioners who are going to cause
the Duke of Nemours tube proclaimed King of Greece.
One would say that those Journals take pleasure in laughing at
their readers.

We have received Boston Papers to the 18th of lag
month, but they contain nothing new.

The following extract of a lette;.received. from Rio
de Janeiro, contains some interesting account of the
state and prospects of the war now existing, between
Brazil and Buenos Ayres:— .
~
The war with Buenos-Ayres is not likely to terminate so
Moon as was expected; indeed, no period tan be named when it
may probably be brought to an
end either by force of arms or by
treaty.
Though there is nearly all the Brazilian naval force,
amounting to near 80 vessels, hi the River Plate, little has been
effected either in annoying the enemy or in preserving the blockade.
Admiral Brown, by
his watibfulness end activity, makes up for
his want of foree. Should the war be prolonged into the winter
season, which is now corning on, the large ships of 13razil, during
the periodie.4tl storms which then occur, will be driven to sea, as
they cannot enter the harbour of Monti-Video, and there is no
other shelter for them hi the river. At -Rio Grande there is a
very large body of Brazilian troops, but they have been kept ins
state of. inactivity, nor is it likely they will be very effective
duringl)art eit
tire country,winLerms ant°11)1; as most of ,thews are from the- tropical
unaccustomed to the weather, which will
de,were harm amongst them than the enemy. It is reported that
the 110001..Ayreans have purchased the Chilian equedree, which
is soon exPected round this way. They do not appear to enter-
tain any expectation of receiving aid from Bolivar. This unhaPpy
war bas produced onions evils on our commerce, by depriving us
of a market eta. our surptus imports. , Both parties are exPending
immense treasures, and suffering equally,
,
. though in different ways,
by the contest." ,

madras Papers to the 8d• March,
with private let-
ters to the same date, reached to yesterday. Ac-
counts had been received from Patanagnb, the heatown!quarters of the Army in Ava, to. the 27th January,
Sir A. CAMPBELL commenced his march for Urnme-
*rapoora at' the head of the Betigal division, on the
25th. The army were animated by the best spirit :

and evinced the strongest desire to chastise the enemy
for its treachery. The troops, however, are said to
have suffered much from a fall of rain, which took
place on the 24th, and some sickness had broken out
amongst them. The enemy had shown no further dis-
position to treat for peace, and, it was said, had collected
a large army in front of the British force, the KING
having vowed never to make peace with the .English
while they remained in Ava. A large body of Bur
mese troops was also said to be collecting in the neiOr
bourhood of Arracan, and from the state of exhaustion
by sickness, uuder which ,that division of the army
laboured, the prospect of an attack by the enemy WAS
not regarded without great apprehension.
Letters had been received from Lord COMBER'
'mERE'S camp, of the ,2d of February, which announce
the fall of Alwar, the last of the forts which held out.
His Lordship having thus fulfilled all the objects of
his expedition against Bhurtpore, was about to return
forthwith to Calcutta.

It will be remembered that at the time it was arranged
iat the fortresses in the Netherlands should be re-

paired, it was proposed by our Ministers that the works
should be conducted under the superintendence of
British Engineer Officers—but that the Dutch Go-
vernment declined acceding to the proposition. The
fortitications have therefore been constructed by Officers
selected by that Government, who, if the accounts
which have been published in the French Papers of
the imperfect state of the works are to be relied upon,
will now have great cause to lament that the execu-
tion of the works had not been intrusted to the ob-
serving eye of English Officers. As this subject may
become one of considerable importance, ,we arc in-
duced to. publish at length the private letter from
Utrecht, given' in the Co-nstitutionnel of Saturday,
stating the discovery of the abuses which had been
practiced both in the materials and workmanship of
the fortifications, and the steps which had been taw
in consequence for the discovery and punishment of
the offenders.

UTRECHT, JUNE 30.—An affair of great importance, and which
has been in progress for some time, occupies the whole of the
public attention. Au Officer of high rank has been lately arrest-
od, charged with inalversation in the construction of fortifications
in West Flanders. It is known that vast sums have been spent
by the Government of the Netherlands in constructing these forti-
fications,
yet the materials have lately been discovered to be so
bad, and the workmanship is of such a defective nature, that the
works are daily giving way, and falling to ruins. On the first
appearance of the want of faith in the contractors and superin-
tendents, the most prompt and strict orders were given by the Go-
vernmeut—to institute au inquiry for the purpose of ascertaining
the quality of the materials, their price, and the manner in which
the fortifications had been erected. General Hennequin, who bad
been arrested on suspicion, conscious of guilt, though the judg.
ment of the Court of Inquiry assembled at rftrecht has not been
made known, cut his. throat in prison some months ago, and the
Commandant of Ostend equally implicated, shot himself, One of
the worst circumstances of this case is, that a Lieutenant-General
of seventy years of age, should have been implicated in it—a min
who 'possessed the King's confidence, and who had lately been sent
on an important mission to the Dutch Colonies. This Generals
as distinguished by the services he had. rendered to, his coun-
try, while under the dominion of strangers for twenty years. 11
1w the rewards which he has received from it since the return °`
peace. and order, is to blam... only according to public opinion
for having trusted too much to agents, and for not havU4
personalty ascertained, wl...ther the intentions of the King
and his own plans would be faithfully carried into effect.--
Some time ago he was examined before the Grand Council of War
assembled at Istitcht, and thence sent oir to Niswueu. The
most profound secrecy is preserved aa to the nature of tire .videne*
Report says, that the extreme rigour, evinced in this inquiry, in-
dependent of the well known character of the King for economy
and good government, is to be attributed to an anxiety to satisft
the Firitish Government. At the time when the rebuilding OT
engineers should be employed along with those belonging to
these fortresses was resolved on, England proposed that English
this
country; and as this, was refused, the Dutch Government con-
sider tremselves bound in_ honour to institute the most *1" ,
inquiry. .

The following are extracts -from the 0) ientat
Spectator, of the '2d Junei.which" has reached us. It
would appear that the accounts in the Italian Papers
of the defeat of IBRAHIM PACHA near Tripulizza,
.and the retaking of that place by NIOETA S and'
LOCOTRONI, was incorrect.
" Ibrahim Pacha, .afterhaving victoriously traversed a great
part of the Morea, and taken ou his way the town of Calavrits,
arrived at Tripolizza, where be Will remain,until the return of his
fleet, with which he intends without doubt, to invest by sea Nk
Poli di Romania, whilst he will attack it on the laud side, at
head of his brave Arabs.
„
-
It here (Srnr,'

The most ridiculous rumours have been curren. 411 Yr•
na.) It was said thrii Ibrahim Pacha had been killed, tig::
SoEwan Bey had experienced the same fate, and that the GreW
had given battle to the Turks and defeated them, after three day's
fighting. We can contradict all these rumours : Ibrahim pasha,
and Soliman Bey are both in excellent health, and there has bees
no battle."

•By the East India accounts which have been pub'
fished, it appears, according to the statement of ""
ccipts and payments in Great Britain for the year end'
big Igsy. 1,182 p, that the balance in favour of the
Company on May 1, 1825, was 1,594,6441.95. Scl''
while on the
.Ist of May, 1826, it was reduced 1°
779,1951. 9s. 71, It would appear, that a further
reduction of this balance will probably take place ru
the present year ; for, according to the estimate
receipts and' payments for the . year ending Ist` M4Y'
1827, it is calculated that the balance on that der
r
will be 482;862/. only, notwithstanding the sum °'
1,455,516/. of available securities is included meal
the receipts. 'MS sum, • therefore, of 1,455,616.
