In a part of our impression yesterday, we stated that
an Express had reached town, announcing the death Of
the King of FRANCK; and, although the news appears to
be somewhat premature, and his deceae had not been
officially made known, yet such orders and decrees
were issued, as :hewed that if not really dead, the event
would soon occur. The Moniteur of Monday,contained
orders from the Minister of the Interior that the Es-
change, the Theatres, and all places of amusement,
should be closed till further orders; while the Medical
Bulletin of the K twos health, of Sunday evening, stated
that the fever had increased—the extremities become
cold—the weakness increased, as well as the torpor—.
and the pulse extremely feeble and irregular.

We have this forenoon received the Etoile dated yes-
terday, but published on Monday evening. It does not
state that the KIXO is dead; but as his MAJNATT had re.
edited the Sacrament of the Eucharists and the eitreme,
unction—rites of the Roman Catholic Church only ad-.
ministered to persons on'the very, eve of depart's:errata'
this world, thete is little doubt' but that he died in thi
course of Monday: indeed, we understand private let-
ters of unquestionable authority state this to have been
the ease.
In another column we have given a biographical
moir of Louts XVIII. Of his personal and political cha-,
ratter it is not easy to judge, for he has often been
pliced is situations of such extreme difficulty, that opi-
nion must be much divided as twills wisdom,of the po-
licy he has adopted. tin his iestoration, he had two
parties, the most hostile to each other, if not to recon-
cile at least to appease—the new Military and the old.
Noblesse—who were mutually jealous of each other.
—The former, accustomed to scenes of warfare, could
not all at once become quiet cititens ; besides, they
were it: authority, and could not be expected to yield,
without some reluctance, their situations to men they
had been led to despise. The old Noblesse, on the other
hand, had shared in the misfortunes of their Sovereir).
and claimed, as a right, to participate. in his better for-
tune.
..To hold an equal balance between those parties
was no easy task; and it says much for Louts XVIII.
that he has done to, and that, with the exception of the
hunched days' marvellous enterprise of BONAPARTE,
the reign of Louts XVIII. has been one of peace and
prosperity to France.

Levis XVIII. is succeeded by CnAntes PHILIPPE,
Count d'Artois, who on the death of Louts XVII. took
the title of Monsieur, he was born October 9, 1757,
and married MARIA THERESA, sister of the King of
SARDINIA, who died in 1805 ; his only surviving son is
the Duke d'Awboucestt, who is now heir apparent to
the French ThrOrat. The new King will bear the title
of CHAaLes X.—he begins his reign at an auspicious
period, and we trust it will be as tranquil as that of the
last nine years of -his predecessor. - The following ate
extracts from the Preach Papers :

FROM THE ETOILE Or TRSTERDAT.
PARIS. SEPTEMBER 13:

. This 'morning the King received the Saint Viatique
and the extreme unction ; he was perfectly sensible, and
maintained 'his usual firmness of mind. About eight
ciclork the Grand Almoner entered the chamber of the
King, accompanied by the Bishop of: Hermopolig,
first Almoner, and the Clergy of the Chapel. His,
Royal Highness Monsieur, the Duke of Angou-
leme, Madame, and the Duchess of Berry, followed
the Holy Sacrament, which the Clergy carried, with
candles in their hands. After this ceremony Was ter-
minated, the Princes and Princesses of the Royal
family went to hear Mass at the Chapel, after which
they returned again to the King, and received, on their
knees, his benediction. The King said to them, " Adieu
my children, may GOD be with you."
All the approaches to the Castle of the Turneries are
filled with persons anxious for information of the King :
the most profound anxiety is perceived in every one.
To-day will commence, at the Chapel of the Palace,
'prayers to continue fOr 40 hours.

FROM zeZTOILL. DATZD SUNDAY.

The King did not giire an audience to-day.

OF THE KING'S HEALTH.

Tverasma, Sept. IS.-411: *Thai is the Maagag.
-"Theold and permanent infirmities of the Kingtaving
sensibly increased for some days past, his health has ap-
peared extremely impaired (profeadessiest akerie), and
has been the subject of more frequent consultations.—
The constitution of his Majesty, and the attention that
is paid to him, haie maintained for some days the hope
of seeing his health retitled to its habitual state; but it
'cannot be now dissembled that his strength has aqui;
derably declined, and that the hope which was calk-
Wised must be also weakened.

"The bulletin in the Monitemr, and the measures taken
respecting the Theatres, and the 4:change, as well as the
departure of the Comte d'Artois fur St. Cloud, suffi-
ciently shew that if the King has not yet breathed his
last, the moment is, not far distant.

" The effect of this event is already produced : there
is an assemblage about the Palace, and sonic movements
of troops have been observed: meantime everything is
perfectly calm.
" Some persons pretend that the King is even now,
dead, but this is conjecture, and cannot be announced
as a truth."

In another column we have given -some intelligence
relating to Greece. The Moeitewr of Monday, which
has reached us by Express, contains an article from;
Constantinople, dated August 10, which states, that the
fleet of the Captain Pacha is not destroyed, as the
Greeks in. that capital represented, but that it was cruis-
ing between Mytilene and Samos, and preparing to
strike a decisive blow against the latter island. Report
stated; that the attack would be made between
the 7th and 10th of August. All the forces, both by
sea and land, were to be directed to this object, and the
Porte appeared to calculate On complete success.
It is again said, that the Egyptian fleet had arrived
near Rhodes, The fleet, which is said to consist of 120
sail and 20,000 men, contains, as we are informed in this
article, workmen of all sorts on board, as the Porte, in-
tends to transfer Egyptians into the Morea, and Greets
into Egypt.; which, in emir opinion, will be a good way
to lose both. The Porte, however, thinks otherwise,
and predicts that at the end of the year the Peloponnesns
will be wholly reduced. Lord STRANGTORD, whose de-
parture had been much talked of, bad an audience of
the Rats EFFENDI/4 in the early part of August.

' We have received New York Papers to the 22d ult.
being four days later than the last packet to Liverpool,
They_ contain no additional news ft om Peru, but merely
republish the circular from Trendllo, announcing the
defection of OLasurrit from the Royal cause, which had
been received at Guayaquil, as well as at Panama.
Much space is occupied in the _New York Papers, by
the details of General LA sAyarrs's reception in tbs
United 'States., He was welcomed by deputations hos
nearly all classes of the community, and in a eery par-
ticular manner by the Members of the American Bird
