The accounts from Greece are highly favourable to
the Independents. They obtain victories by sea and
land.—OMEß VRIONE is surrounded without a chance
of escape, if not actually dead; and the son and First
Admiral of the Pacha of Egypt have become prisoners
to the Greeks; and their ransom, it is expected, will
be like a loan to the Greeks, with the advantage of
paying no interest. Wallachia and Moldavia, so far from
being evacuated, are horribly plundered by the Turks•

It is-a rather singular coincidence that, while the
POPE and the Roman Catholic Clergy are making such
pea exertions to suppress the Bible, the GRAND
SIGNIOR should issue a Firrsan for the same purpose
from which the follossing is an extract :

" Know that it is ascertained, that books have been printed in
Europe, viz.—Bibles, Psalters, Gospels, with the History of the
Apostles at the end, two or three thousand of each sort, with a
tract in Persian ; and there have come to my capital two or three
hundred of each sort, with four or five of the Persian tracts.
" And as it is my duty to prevent entirely such things, when
they happen in my kingdom, during my reign, let these books be
returned to Europe; and if hereafter any of them arrive at the
Custom-houses, let careful search be made, and advice sent to my
capital, iu order that none may be sold or bought. Likewise let
no Turk whatever take any of these false books, and whenever
any of them are found, let them be taken and cast into the fire,
that they may be bernt, and let them not be bought or sold in
any country."
This subject is also noticed in a letter written by an
English Gentleman at Aleppo, from which the following
is an extract:

44 ALcrro, Avaust t, i 824.
41 Three days ago the Pasha seat fur hir..--...:a dragoman, and

informed him that a Finnan had been received from the Grand
Signior, prohibiting the distribution of the books—the Law, Psalms,
Gospel, and 11. sties which come from Europe (Frankistan), and
ordering that such as hive been distributed be collected, and that
all such as arrive at the Custom-houses hereafter should be sent back
to Europe. The Finnan was put into the bands of the Cadi, who
sent for the Chiefs of the different Christian sects, told them what
,the Sultan's orders were, and ordered them to cause all their people
who had any of these books in their possession to deliver them up,
threatening to hang any man who should be found to keep back any
of them. I was told, however, last evening, that not a single book
had yet been given up. All whom I have heard speak of the sub•
lect here, Romaa Catholics as well as others, believe that the Fir-
man was procured by the Catholics."

The French Papers of Wednesday and Thursday
have been received, but they conta;n no intelligence of
interest. The following is from the Etoile of Thursday :

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCTOBER 19.

Lord Strang ford, before he left this capital, had
several conferences with the Ottoman Ministers. He
received from them a formal promise of the speedy and
entire evacuation r,f Moldavia. His Lordship, in conse-
quence, proposed to M. Minziacky to assume his diplo-
matic character. But all on a sudden, news arrived that
the Turkish troops, Sal from evacuating Moldavia, were
committing the most horrible excesses there. One of the
Grand Dignitaries has been massacred by these barba-
I tans ;others are threatened with. the same fate. M. Min-
lac ky, therefore, persists in living as a mere private indi-
riJual. The issue of the campaign, so disastrous to
the Porte, greatly embarrasses the Diplomatic Body.
—lt seem. that they had .calculated on the idea that
the Gieeks would be overpawerei.l; their complete tri-
umph, therefore, deranges many combinations. No-
body, however, apprehends that open hostilities will
result from this.

Letters from Smyrna say, that the Pacha of Syt LI is
in complete insurrection against the Porte. The eva-
cuationof Wallachia does not seem to be nearer than
that of Moldavia.

This forenoon we received Frankfort and other Ger-
man Papers to the 21st inst. They contain an account
of an agreement entered into between Great Britain
and Russia, on the subject of the private property of
foreigners dying in Russia, and a notice from the Go-
vernment of Wirtemberg, on the reduction of the in-
terest on the debt. The following are .e:tracts :

ST. PETERSBURGIOCTOBER 26.
An agreement has been concluded between Count
Nestelrode, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Sir Charles
Bagot, the British Ambassador; and M. Belly (Sir D.
Bayley,) the English Consul-General, vested with full
powers from the Kingdom of Hanover. This agreement
has been ratified by his Majesty the Emperor, and the
following is the object of it. On the declaration of
Sir Chas. Bagot and M. Belly, that in the dominions of
England and Hanover the private property of Russian
subjects, which goes out of the country on account of
inheritance, or other legal causes, is not liable to any
deduction, the provisions of the Imperial Ukase of the
14th July, 1823, are now extended to all British and
Hanoverian subjects settled here : this Ukase orders
that no deduction shall be :made from property sent out
of the empire, belonging to foreigners in whose States
Russian.subjects enjoy the same favour.
