From the whole tenototliie French Opposition
Journal:, received in the course of this week, we ob.
set ved an incipient feeling of envy at our commercial
policy, and a strong desire to rake up a counterpoise to
our nava! power. it is alley* that our present ;rank
in the scale of nations is, by accidental circumstances,
much beyond% bat they conceive to be our proper station;
that it is founeed merely onAnartommercial grandeur; to
inaintain which se are accused of deserting the cause
of -legitimate Governments, and recognizing, in the
ranks of SoVereign Powers (as in the case of the South
American States), Governments founded on usurpa-
tion, merely . that we may thereby find customers
to consume our manufacture': and the French Go-
vernment is earnestly exhorted to seek a counter.-
)ralaisCe to our Naval pow er, by cultivating an intim .te
'connexion with the North Americans,. Russians,
Swedes, Danes, &c. &c. so as, at some futures**,
to raise up such a confederacy of maritime strength as
shall at once overpower our Navies, and theteby ic.'ucc

us to an inferior, but (as they are kindly pleased to
permit) still a considerable lotion in the scale of nations.
We have no doubt that this is, his been, and ever
will be. the ruling desire, the master-jvish of every
Frenchman, from the'- Prime Minister* to the Petit
Maitre. But it has bten often tried before, and, for the
last time, by BowaPaters,- backed' by such a tre-
mendous aggregation of power and ;absence as is
not likely to recur for another century. And
how has it succeeded?—ln the recent discussion in
this Journal, on the subject of the salute at sea, it has
appeated that our Government voluntarily abandoned
the claim of the sovereignty of the sea dejure.not think-
ing it worth maintaining. Has it appeared that we have
also yielded the trident of the ocean de fado?—Let
the one hundred and fifty line-of-battle ships,which now
peaceably slumber dismantled in our arsenals, all new,
sound, and in perfect condition, be called into action in
a good cause, whenever that may occur, and. they
will answer the question in inch a tone as the
1 maritime States of Europe and America have not
yet forgotten.
And as to confederacies, they have been tried-before,
with what success our Readers will judge, from a cu.
rions document with which we have been favoured from
lan intelligent friend, on whose industry and -accuracy
we have perfect reliance, and which he has compiled
simply from tie pages of the London Gazette, between
the month of February, 1803, and July, T 815; an inter-
val during which this Nation waged war, single-handed,
against all the maritime Powers of the world united.
The details we shall publish at an early opportunity,
but at present our account in the total. will stand as

We are a nation of merchants, the French say, and in
that character we beg leave to submit to them our ac-
count current as per balance-sheet prefixed, trusting
that they will think of it maturely, before the perverse
and flippant writers in their Journals, persuade the
better part of the country to open a new account with usN

We have received the French Papers of Wednesday,
and the &vile of yesterday, by Exprets. It contains
various articles of intelligence from Greece. Accounts
from Syra, of the 2d July, state that ISRAINIAI PACHA
has carried fire and sword in all the country round
♦rgos. An article from Tinos, of tip 7th July, states
that the Governor of Missolonghi had sent an express
to the Government, declaring that the place could not
hold out, unless he received succours.
It is also stated that the Arabs had taken Arcadia,
and put all to the sword ;.this does not seem likely, as
IBRAHIM would scarcely detach any part of his force
on Arcadia until he had taken Napoli, unless, indeed,
be had been defeated and retired to the Coast, when we
think he would have preferred Modon or Navarino.
The Swabian Mercury states, that on the arrival of
the Captain Pacha in the gulf of Patras, with fifty-six
sail, he invited the Genera:, Juasouv and RIDSCHTD•
PACHA, on board his ship. The one is besieged at Pa-
tras, and the other is besieging Missolonghi. The ac-
count states, that the three Commanders, after a con-
ference which lasted several days, determined on a new
plan of offensive operations against the Greeks. This
account is silent as to the fall of Missolonghi, and states
that RIUNCIIIID PACHA was about to besiege it a se.
cond time.

The Preach elnadron at Martinique was to leave there on the
lOtit of June, to return to Brest.

The ebb and flow of the tide is not more certain, and
scarcely more regular, than the current of good and bad
news from Greece. Had the speculators in Greek Scrip
agents in every town on the Continent, and every port in
the Mediterranean, the rise and fall could not be better
managed than it is by the private letters from Con-
stantinople or Smyrna, the reported assertions of Ans.
trian Captains, and the gaseonadings of French Journal-
ists. The affairs of Greece, which
.bad.been for some
time at blood warmth (we mean no ptm), yesterday
sunk to Zero, for there arrived, not only the long
aad chilling narrative of the Austrian Observer
but a private letter, which, transkrring the slang of
the boxing-ring to affairs of politics, tells us the Greeks
are well nigh floored. This may be the case, but the
subjugation of a brave people by a barbarous horde is
a bad subject for levity.
The intelligence of today is by no means satisfactory.
The Allgemeine Zeitung, oldie 19th inst. received this
morning, has the usual number of on dits of Captains
andlialmirals, and repeats the report of IsaaHIMPAClieSi
wounds and defeats,in which there appears to be no truth.
These papers state that ltl'ssolonghi had surrendered
to the Turks on the 17th of July, but as this event was
stated quite as positively three months ago, we may
again venture to hope it is not true. IBRAIIIM is said
to have been joined by the troops of HUSSRIN Pacha,
which lately landed at Navarino. The following are
extracts :0-•

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 25. •
The accounts from the Morea continue to be favour-
able for the Porte. Ibrahim PAcha, whose attempt on the
Mills at Napoli di Romania, would probably basic suc-
ceeded, had not English and French assisted the Greeks,
has indeed retired to Tripolizza, but itnmediately after
joined Ilusse-n Bey, who landed with reinforcements
At Navarin.

Whatever the friends of the Creeks may say, it is most
likely helms sinee resumed offensive operations ; mean.
time the pas, whichi during-his attempt at Napoli d,
Romania, was taken by the English Commander sta-
tioned there, is very remarkable and is said to have led
the Porie to make bitter complaints, through the Reis
Effendi, to the British Legation here.
It is stated that, she abovementioned British Com-
mander, not only encouraged the Greeks to defend
themselves on that occasi' n, but even distributed pro-
visions among their troops. Unauthenticated reports
even make the citadel of Napoli di Romania to be for-
mally occupied by the English. These accounts give
rise to varinus reflections, and many persons begin to
think that England will at length take an active part in
favour of the insurgents.
A Captain who arrived also on the 6th August, in
22 days from Zante, says the Captain Pacha's fleet
was at Patras, and Missolonghi still besieged.

TRIESTE, AUGUST 9.
According to accounts just received from Carlo,
and dated the 23d of July, 'Slissolonghi, after an at-
t4ck, which took plate on the 16th July. surrendered
to the Turks the next day._
In spite of the many reports spread from all quar-
ters, and which were inserted also in our J mrnal, the
account of Ibrahim Pacha having been made prisoner,
is by no means confirmed. It is even said, that the
action on the sth July, lately mentioned, terminated in
his favour.
