FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the illonitem• of Wednesday, Oct. 3.)
PARIS, OCT. 2.—The Constitutiqnnel seeks' in
vain in its sepp'ositiont the success which it has been
able to obtain by its arguments.
We have alleged, and
article of the tr- we allege, tte r 4
or intervention in the affairs of
the
Last as a proof of the disinterestedness of Ritssi•
For is it not as clear as the day, that an ambitiou
Power would not have entered into a lea& pr 7
eisely eontrary to all ambition ?
It is pretended that his engagement to refrain i
a snare laid fer Russia by its allies._
_ _ _ .

What a snare! A clear, precise, and absolutp
condition, which does not admit in any language
either of double meaning or of subterfuge.
Why not rather consider the 'declarations of the
three Powers as an assurance of peace given to tI4
world, especially to the enemies of the Greeks, anti
a generous means of accelerating the pacification ?
We have conceded to our adversaries, that the
text of the treaty was not so precise, with respect to
the arrangements to be adopted on the supposition
of an armed resistance to the forces of.the mediating
Powers,;' and is not this very want .or precision
proof of the little probability of the hypothesis ? For
it is not natural to abandon the object to the chance
of events, after having regulated the means; or to
show so much 'prudence in the accessories, neglecting
the principal part. But in making this concession,
we have not failed to add, that it was impossible
that additional measures', if circumstances should call
or them, should not be in harmony with the principle.
We have affirmed that " the future conduct of the
Powers would be conformable to the spirit.of the
treaty, for the reason that the mode cannot be in
contradiction to the principle,. and that the inter-
vening Powers have declared that ambition was en-
tirely foreign to the motives of their intervention,
nothing that can favour the, common ambition, or
particular ambition, can cuter into the chances of the
intervention:"

Now see how the Constitzttionnel translates this
reasoning :—" We shall take nothing, if there is no
opportunity to take; but if an opportunity, offers
itself, we shall see.' It is for the reader to com-
pare the text of our reasoning with its commentary.
(From the Gazette de 'France, Oct. 4.) '
LEGHORN, SEPT. 21.—The Prosper English brig
arrived yesterday, in.3l days, from Alexandria. It
had been taken by a Greek pirate, which put six
men on board to carry it to Napoli di Romania, but
hiving perceived the Egyptian fleet, it took flight,
leaving on board the Prosper the six men, who were
afterwards landed at Malta. •

The fleet of the Viceroy of Egypt sailed from
Alexandria in the beginning of August. On the
6th, an English brig of war arrived in that port from
London, with orders to hinder, if possible, the sail-
ing of the fleet.
(Fr in the Constitutionnel of Wednesday.)
PARIS, OCT. 3.—The Moniteur of) esterday con-
tained a truth. Its official publicist proclaimed the
definitive union of all the people of Europe in the
same ideas and interests. The result of all the labours
of enlightened men is henceforward obtained. The
constancy of philosophical writers could not be more
worthily honoured—civilization could not gain a more
glorious triumph. It will he • complete, when the
maternal and intellectual alliance of the Europeans
shall extend to other parts of the world. We do
not tkspair even of this. The result we have men-
tioned could not have been obtained but by the uni-
versal tolerance of opinions, and the uninterrupted
exchange of the products both of commerce and the
mind. The present civilization; whichlas shortened
distances—the taste for travelling and instruction,
which preserves a connection between all the
distinguished men of all parts of Europe; the
political and literary Journals, by means "of
which generous ideas awake in a thousand
-places generous sympathies—these are the causes
which, after having created the' alliance of
the people of Europe, will guarantee its dura-
tion. We know that e small number of narrow
minds and short-sighted reasoners have endeavoured

to stigmatize as cosinopolitism, the love.of humanity.
It is apprehended that a man's country will lose
some share of the affection . due to it, and those ge-
nerous sentiments which might release men from the
sweet bondage of home, are sometimes dreaded.
Such a dread is honourable; but let the upright
ensole themselves. The affections may extend

themselves without becoming weaker, and men may
love their home without ceasing to love their coun-
try; and the latter attachment is quite_ consistent
with an attachment to men of all races and colours.
The first fruits of this alliance of different people will
be to put an end to war, to respect treaties, to mu!.
tiply. and receive commercial relations, and to in-
crease the prosperity of every country. The love of
country ceasing to be exclusive, will co-exist with a
reasonable respect for the people of all countries;
and these two sentiments, far from opposing, will sup.
port one another. But if the union of the people of
Europe is a fact worthy of the attention of philosophy,
it acquires additional importance from the influence it
ought to have on the policy of Governments. The time
no longer exists when people can be governed by means
of a national hatred, persecuting neighbours as ene-
mies, who must at any price be got rid of. To the
maxims of imperfect civilization and a narrow policy
more liberal maxims have succeeded. It is no
longer supposed that the extinction of one society is
the only condition on which another can exist. The
union among men will have considerable effect also
on the liberty of each nation. The different people
will acquire the same tastes, the same habits, and
the Governments of all will resemble each other in
many respects. Absolutism must lose in the change,
but will humanity regret it ? The absolute Sove'
reigns themselves will soon come to comprehend the
fact, that an unlimited power is not so secure as the
limited power of Constitutional Kings, and that the
moat secure throne is that founded on the laws.
The Public Prosecutor has appealed' against the
acquittal of M. M. Mignet, Sauteler, and Gautier
Laguionie.

The new Penal Laws of the Canton of Lucerne 11
have been acted on since July Ist. Among the
crimes punishable by the Code, the corruption of
public functionaries is included, and the same penalty
applies both to the seducer and the functionary who
allows himself to be seduced. This double penalty
offers a reciprocal guarantee to the two guilty per-
sons to'preserve their common secret.
For some days the summits of the Jura and the
Alps have been covered with snow.
CORFU, SEPT. 16.—(Extract of a Private Let-
ter.)—The Egyptian fleet, consisting of SO sail, has
arrived at Navarino. The disembarkation took
place without interruption. We do not know when
this fleet arrived, but the news is, unhappily, too
true, for our Government has received official ad-
vice of the circumstance. The trifling advantages
gained by the Greeks will, therefore, be of no avail.
Ibrahim Pacha will continue his excursions into
the interior, and will devastate the yet uncle-
restated parts of the Peloponnesus, 'and shed the
blood of a Christian people, who having been fed
for three years on herbs and roots, have hardly
strength enough to lift up their hands to implore the
assistance of the Most High. lam afraid I shall
yet have to describe the cruelties which the barba-
rians will exercise on those people, whom a savage
tyranny has forced to take up arms to relieve them-
selves from a most burdensome yoke. This expedi-
tion, it is true, and many others like it, will not suc-
ceed in exterminating a whole nation; but, it is
vexatious to see the European Powers treating with
the Grand Seignior, while he, as if playing with
them, puts in motion the resources of the three con-
tinents to attain his object.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 18Q7.

The French Papers of Wednesday;—and the
Gazette de France dated Thursday, have been
received. The chief bearing of their contents
relates to Greece. It now appears beyond doubt,
that the Egyptian fleet has landed about 6,000
troops at Navarino, to which port they have been
conveyed principally in Austrian vessels. This
simple fact speaks enough of the cold-blooded
policy of Austria, whose Cabinet, has all along
been secretly or openly opposed to the indepen-
dence of the Greeks. But Austria may, after ail,

have gone a little too far, in her scheming insin-
cerity, and we should not be sorry, if the course of
events must necessarily involi'e the great Powers
in active measures to complete their humane
♦iews, that Austria should feel. their effects in a
manner not hitherto contemplated. Austria
has once been a formidable Power, but the
secret of her might has been unfolded, and
she will do well to look to the future, before
she play the game of double-dealing with such
powers as England, France, and Russia. Her
conduct throughout the Grecian struggle for
independence, has been truly characteristic of
her deep-rooted aversion to every thing li-
beral or enlightened, and this last act of

her maritime agents makes neutrality a
mockery. We have no doubt that the sailing
of the Egyptian fleet has been accelerated by
the instigation of Austria ; and that when

the PACHA of EGYPT declared his inability to
expedite its departure on account of the want of
vessels, that, the tender of Austrian transports
had been made, in order the more effectually to
destroy the remainder of the unhappy Greeks
who survived the massacres in the Mores. Now
that the 6,000 troops have arrived safely to re-
inforce IBRA HIM PACHA, he will be in It con-
dition to devastate what yet remains uncon-
taminated by his ruffian hordes ; while the
unfortunate Greeks are in a manner incapa-
citated from acting by their acceptance of the in-
tervention of the Allies. The calamity is still
further aggravated by the knowledge that two days'
earlier information would have prevented the land-
ing of the reinforcement. But in this, as in other
matters, good may spring out of evil, and the
brutality or insolent conduct of the Turks may
precipitate theta into difficulties from which they
cannot extricate themselves. They have landed
in the Mores, but the chances are ten to
one that they never return. We have no
doubt, if they so far commit themselves, as to
provoke the vengeance of the Allied Fleets,
that the SULTAN wilt soon see the ne-
cessity of giving up the struggle, and
withdrawing himself from the
.sinister alli-
ance of Austria, thrOugh whose councils he
has been placed in his present extraordinary
dilemma.

To counterbalance the landing of the rein

foreement to the Turks, it appears that the
Greeks have obtained several advantages over

the 'troops of ACHMET PACHA, whom they

drove out of the convent of Tabiachi, and cap-
tured all the provisions and ammunition which
had been collected in that place after it had been
converted into a fort. But this is not all ;
General CHURCH, at the head of the Rumeliot
troops, repaired to the Province of Sicyonia to
prevent the advance of the enemy, while Cow-
coTnoNt the elder descended from the moun-
tains of Calavrita, with three thousand men.to
invest Petra& A still more -important circum-
stance to the Greeks was their capture .of

great quantity of provisions destined fo-r the.
garrison of Tripolizza, which the younger:
CoLoco ITiON r, who occupied the passes':
of Dervenakia, aftcr having united with the-
Maniots in the town of Calamata, made him-:
self master Qf. The convoy was under the
1,6 chief part of whom
escort of 1,200 Arabs,
were either killed or taken prisoners.

We received this morning the Austrian Ob-
server of the 24th ult., but it contains no politi-
calnews. It appears that the Austrian Commander
in Chief, Count DANDOLO, has been busy in
his vocation of annoying, the Greeks, whe-
ther pirate's or not. He has succeeded
in recovering possession of four Austrian mer-
chant vessels which had been captured by some
pirates of Spezzia

MUNICH. SEPT. 23.

The Government of Zurich has commenced its delibera-
tions on the erection of a suitable church for the Catholic
worship. Twenty years ago, when it was granted, the
chapel which they had was probably large enough, but at
present the number of CatholieS in Zurich is out of all
proportion to the accommodation which this chapel affords.
It seems that the Ambassadors of the Catholic Cantons to
the Diet have applied to the Government on this subject,
and no doubt is entertained of a concession which will be
suitable to the spirit of toleration which now prevails in
Switzerland.

FRANKFORT, SIIPT. 28.

M. de Nagler; the Prussian Poetmaster-General and
Minister Plenipotentiary to the Diet, returned a few days
ago from his tour in the Prussian provinces on the Rhine,
and is now gone back to Berlin. It appears from this that
there was no foundation for the repoit that he was going
to negociate with the Government of the Netherlands re-
specting the navigation of the Rhine.

vingrfA, sKrr. 24

The Austrian Observer has a very long account, in 'a
letter from Spezzia of the 2d of August, of the reeaptere of
four Austrian merchantmen, which had been taken in the
Adriatic by pirates of Spezziaj and carried to that island.
Count Dandelo, Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian
squadron in the Levant, having in vain tried amicable re-
presentations, was obliged to employ force. Count Dan-
dolo having examined the Captain of one of the ships
who came to ask his assistance, and having convinced
himself that there were no contraband articles on
board, sent two officers to Spezzia to demand that
this ship should be given up, as well as three others
which he

affair, Count Dandolo put an o ffi cer on sthlailmgee: ntoooadntdiopebEeror thatbtthhele-e
unless an order from the Government to give up the prises
was sent to him he should consider himself authorised to
.mploy all the measures which the honour of his flag and
the interest of the Austrian commerce plight require.

The officers having returned on board the eilona with-
out effecting any thing, that vessel, accompanied by th.
Vineto brig, sailed the 30th of July, early in the n..`tnirg,
from Napoli, and at eight o'clock east anchor off
Count Dandolo having convinced himself that all eie reg-
gels were in the port, he sent three officers on share to de-
mand that they should be given up, which was refused.
Desirous of carrying his forbearance as fer,as passible,
Count Dandolo again rent one of his officers on shore to
declare that if the ships were not given up within one
hour, he should be obliged to employ force. Upon this the
pirates sent a messenger to say, they would give up the
ships, if the Austrian Commander would give them up a
written declaration, that he had demanded the delivery of
these vessels, which might serve to excuse them to the Go-
vernment of Napoli di Romania. This, however, was only
an evasion to gain time ; for when the officer brought the
declaration, they encouraged the Greek sailors to oppose
the delivery of the prizes.
The wind having changed, so that the .13enotto could not
act without altering its position, the Commander resolved
to weigh anchor and return the following day. He wished
also to give the Speaziots time for reflection, and to afford a
new proof that be was not inclined to use force except at
the last extremity.
On the following day, the 31st of. July, the Bellona re-
turned and cast anchor at the entrance of the harbour of
Spezzia. After a last fruitless attempt at negotiation, six
shots were fired from the Bellona, and eight from the
Veneto, and fourteen roc7;ets thrown. In order, however,
not to make the innocent suffer with the guilty, the shots
were not fired upon the town, but only upon the Greek
ships in the harbour ; and in order to do as little
damage as possible, the shots' were fired rather high
at the intervals of seven seconds. While the Bellow
turned, in order if, contrary to expectation, the Spez-
ziots, should persist in their refusal, to fire a broad-
side, the people ran in crowds to the port ; a boat was
pushed off, and brought the declaration of the pirates,
that the ships should he given up, which was immediately
done. Count Dandolo then required that part of the cargo
which had been landed, should be restored. This too was
granted. On the following day (Aug. 1,) every thing was
brought on hoard, except a few articles which could not be
found, and at four in the afternoon the four Austrian
merchantmen put to sea, under convoy of the Veneto.
According to accounts from Smyrna, the Vineto had
arrived there with the four merchantmen on the 7th of
August. The Bellona arrived there the day before.

A private Express has arrived, from Paris,
bringing Thursday's prices. The 5 per Cents.
left off 101 f. 65c. ; 3 per Cents. 71f. 85c. for the
end of the month.

New Brunswick Papers have been received
four days later than our last accounts, and are
from St. John's to Aug. 23. A report had been
in circulation of some violation of territory
committed lately by Americans at Madawaska ;
name of BAKER,
meddling fellow,
iatnallmeaerrsictanhat aoffinicaenr,ofa tbhuesy
and some others who formerly resided at
Fredericktown, had created some cliflicuity with
the port, and have perhaps hindered him in
his ,duty ; if ,this is the case it must be a per-
sonal affair, and perhaps on the 4th of July, this
BAKER, or some others, may
have exhibited
something in the shape of the American flag ;
but, we are inclined to consider whatever
may have taken place as proceeding from im-
prudent individuals, and not as authorised by
either the General Government of the United
States, or by the Government of the State of
Maine. The state of the question, and the nego-
ciations pending between the two Governments,
forbid the idea that the United States could so far
compromise their dignity and good faith as even to
connive at such proceedings. The sale of Crpwn
lands took place on the 14th Aug., at the market
house, Fredricktown, and although this was one
of the minor sales, upwards of three thousand
acres were disposed of. It is understood the
commissioner of Crown lands, will proceed shortly
to St. John's and to St. Andrew's, for the
pthipose of ascertaining the expediency of
selling Crown lands in that quarter. It is ,in
contemplation to erect a new church in Fre-
dericktown, on a superior scale, as it is very
evident the present church affords very
little accommodation for the majority of the
respectable tradesmen and -their families, and
for the poorer classes, to the use of which of
1 the latter a considerable part of the 'few

building will ice* appropriated. The faSt
increasing population of this town requires a
desirable _an erection, and thisi interesting ~:i►'
curnstance is treated at one of great
portance to 'the cause of Christiaraity, and for
which we believe we are indebted Yo the.
munificence of his MoSt Gracious MAJEii
