DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE 310IININ:.: PAPEIIS,

,Stepteinber. 28.

[MORNING HERALD]
The Greek Patriarch has addressed a pastoral
circular, in which he recommends peacealilecdn-
duct, to the Greeks, and assures them of the pi7o-
tection of the Government.' The Turkish troops
have, it is said, received orders to evacuate the
Turkish provinces on the right bank of the Da-
nube. There arcf no accounts worth notice from
Livadia or the Morea. All apprehension, of war
appears to have subsided. The Austrian credit
improves.—There are some accounts from the
Spanish and Portuguese Peninsula. In Portu-
gal the Cortes are employed in modifying and
completing the ConstitUtion. A change hag also
taken place in the Ministry. It appears, however,
that the new Ministers are all
.men pledged to
the Constitutional system. Accounts from Rio
Janeiro 'confirm the intelligence of the treasonable
designs of the Count dos Arcos. had plotted 1
to counter-revolutionize the provinces, and erect
theM into a separate kingdom, independent of the..
-mother country, with the Prince Royal for its
King. He with difficulty escaped the fury.of the
populace. In Spain there isno longer any alarm ;
perfect tranquillity prevails in the capital.' It
appears the Ministers have assumed something of
vigour and firmness. Morillo is restored to his
command, and the new Political Chief has check-
ed the'Fontana Club. The spouters olthat Club
had not opened their lips for the'three days pre-
vious to the date of the accounts (the 11th,) and'
were. wholly disavowed by public opinion.
:Pie King still declined complying. with the
frapeht solicitations of the Municipality for his
return to the capital, alleging his state of health
as the "obstacle.

[MORNING POST,'
Advices haVe been received from Buenos
Ayres to the 19th They are of rather. an
important nature. It appears, that a very deci-
sive engagement had taken place between the
forces Of thlit'Citi and those under Gen. Ramirez,
who, it will be recollected, had fora considerable
period filled the inhabitants of Buenos .Ayres
with anxiety 'and alarm. His career, however,
is now closed. -He was entirely defeated, and
lost his life in the action. Most beneficial con-
sequences were
.expected from the event. Ilis
head had been sent to Gen. Rodriguez, who is
the present supreme Director at Buenos Ayres.
The communication with Chili, and all the pro-
vinces of the interior, would be speedily opened.
No mention is made in the advices of the defeat
of Gen. San Martin and his army in Peru. •We
therefore trust that the intelligence received
•
through Jamaica was incorrect.

'annoying Paper, John Bull, has Oven so full, a
report of the cases of Waithman against Births
and:StaMford against Bristow,- not to mention
several other little incidents connected with Mr.
\V.'s celebrity, that little or nothing remains for
his friends to say, by way of eulogy on his hu-
manity, his veracity, and his fair-dealing.-Is.An_
odd notion has got about, that for some reason or
other, it might not be quite so agreeable to his
Majesty to be received at Guildhall by Mr.
Waithman, as by either Mr. Alderman Magnay
or Mr. Alderman Heygate. 'Wesannot conjec-
ture why people should take'this idea into their
heads ; for though the worthy Sheriff does keep
a shop, though he was so much laughed at when
he'opened his mouth in Parliament=and 'though
he has contrived to rnake people so merry by some
of his late vagaries--yet he is certainly a " true
Genius"—forhe tells us so himself, and as Cha-
rity . covereth a multitude of sins, só Genius
covereth• a multitude of eccentricities. Still there
are- -obstinate people, who hold to the opinion,
that Mr. Waithman is not exactly " a dish to set

before a King."-5. As Mr. Waithman's sitting
quietly in his carriage, at one riot, forms a sin-
gular contrast with his riding about on horse-
back at another, it is possible that in the course
of next term the law may have to settle on
which occasicm he was most in the wrong. Now
it would be very inconvenient, and would take
off his mind from important public duties, if he
should happen to be prosecuted during his
Mayoralty, for delinquencies in his office of
Sheriff—but-this is a mere hint for the pruden-
tial consideration of his friends, Galloway,
Thoinson, Hurcombe, &c.-6. How many votes
do these last-mentioned worthies fancy they can
command ? Just so many, and no more, will
disgrace themselves by voting for Waithman to
be Lord Mayor.

[THE TIMES.]
We must not look to French newspapers for
any intelligence respectinc, the general state of
France. We are free to infer the tranquillity of
the country ; but on that point the public satis-
faction would be at all times more complete, if
the censorship were somewhat less officious. The
continental Journalists begin to amuse themielves
with speculations upon the probable course of the
King's travels, and on the objects find duration
of ;his abs.ence from home. Mr. Lambe is said
to be preparing apartments for his, Majesty at
Frankfort. Et is even hinted that Berlin and
Vienna will be honoured with-the visits of the
King of England ; and that iu the latter thy,
towards the end of October, a Congress is
likely, to be got up. From Constantinople there is
nothing new : a perfect calm is said to have suc-
ceeded to the late disorders ; and the accounts
we have a lready.published are confirmed,. which
state that the Turkish Government has instructed
the Janissaries quartered throughout Walachia
and Moldavia to evacuate those two pro-
vinces.. It is' scarcely- worth while to notice the
ramonrs circulated of Greek victories obtained
over the Turks. With all our early anxiety to
ascertain their truth, and still more, their im-
portance to the lasting welfare of our fellow
Christians, we have been too often disappointed,
to place, implicit faith ht them now. Wile
present story is that of a victory obtained
by the Greeks and Thessalonians over the
Pacha of Salonichi. The Monks of Mount Athos
are-said to have assisted, and to have animated
the enthusiasm: of their lay brothers. There may
be expected shortly, we suppose, some official
and conclusive documents, declaratory to the
world of what has been really determined by
the negotiators at Constantinople. 'Where the
commercial relations of so many states of Europe
were palsied by the uncertain course of those
discussions, and when the whole of Christendom
was so severely agitated by fears for their political
result, we can attribute only to the indecision of,
the parties themselves, the long reserve which
they have maintained on subjects so universally
interesting.
[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
It is curious to trace to -peculiar habits of
thinking, the flights of fancy and the colouring of
the imaginative faculties. Were the liberty of
the Press proposed as the subject of a metaphor,
to„any twenty men of liberal constitutional minds
the probability is that the noblest and most ma-
jestic objects of the creation would be presented
as typical of this great political and moral good.
We might find it likened to the sun rolling a mag-
nificent course of spendour and , beneficence, in-
forming by its light,and fertilizing with its warmth;
giving being to all that is most great, but thaw-
ing into existence much that is bad---fostering
life but corrupting carrion ; common-place ideas,
perhaps, but nevertheless demonstrative of the
exalted opinion entertained of the subject that
gave them birth. Let us then observe the fiat

By the arrival of his,Majesty's ship Scout at
Portsmouth, from the Mediterranean, we have
received, advices from Cadiz, Barcelona, Malaga,
Gibraltar, and other places to a later date. The
Board of Health at Cadiz have reported that
'city to be free from any contagious disorder.. At
Xeres a great abatement bad taken place in.the
violence of the fever. At Barcelona its ravages
still continued without intermission, and conse-
quently the communication by sea between that
port and Valencia was Cut off, and even by laud
a quarantine of sixteen days was enforced before
the latter place could be entered. At Madrid
no persons were-admitfed who had come from
Catalonia, unless they submitted to a previous
quarantine of eight dayS. The Spanish Secre-
tary at War, Doalltonias'Moritto y Daviz, had
resigned, on account of bad health, and had been
succeeded by Lieut.-Gen.Cantader. The King
had not yet accepted Gen. MOrillo's resignation.
The accounts from Portugal by this conveyance
'are to the Ist inst: • They state that the Here-
ditary Prince had been arrested at Rio Janeiro,
and' that an embargo had been laid on all Por-
'tuguese vessels in the Tagus, as it was intended
'to send some, troops immediately out to the.Bra-
:zils. It is stated that the King of Naples has
'recalled the lesuits, and put them in possession
of a church, &c. in his capital.—(lbid.)

[NEW Tr-31Es]
To-morrow is the day of ejection for the office
of Lord Mayor, and the two Aldermen in rota-
tion,- both Gentlemen of great respectability,
have notified their wish to be returned,'as usual,
by the Livery, to the Court of Aldermen, for
their choke. There was some time ago an in-
tention to have set up Mr. Waithman in opposi-
tion to his seniors ; and though that very worthy
lirzen-draper, with his Characteristic modesty,

friends intend to start him at the post. We how-
ever put it to their discretion, to their delicacy,
and even to their humanity, whether they ought
not to lay aside so wijd a project, and we beg
to submit the following points to their consider-

tering metaphor which the Drawcansir of
Bridge-street supplies. • " To give fame and

The Morning Paper (which has lately become
the Coalition voueltee of title to scurrility) has
now taken The Beacon under its wing, which
shares its favotir and patronage with John Bull.
The Constitutional Association has long been in
want of some paper exclusively dedicated to their
Service, and have looked- about for such a tool in
much the same manner that we have occasionally
observed an absent man making active search and
diligent inquiry for the very, implement he had
in his hand. Surely John Bull and The Beacon
are organised suitably to their wishes": if hither-
to deemed too feeble, it should- be considered
that much strength may be gained by the combi-
nation. The Constitutional John Bull, or Bridge-
street Beacon, will be an: imposing title—'tis
" throwing perfume on the violet ;" but what of
that? " Sweets to sweet"—the combination may
be named the Tory's mixture.
