FRENCH PAPERS.

According toxdvices from Madrid, contained in the
Etoile, the detachment of Spanish Chasseurs who de-
serted from Olivenza into Portugal, had re entered
Spain in a different quarter, surprised a Royalist post,
and carried off men and horses into the Portuguese ter-
ritory. This affair, trilling as it might appear, had been
thought so important as to be made the subject of an
official Report from the Captain General of Estrama-
dura to the Spanish Government, who immediately is-
sued orders to bring the Commander of the post which
had been surprised, to a Court Martial. It appears
that fresh offers had been made to Ferdinand, by a Mr.
Tassin, in the name of an English and French Company,
to supply him with a loan equal to his necessities, pro-
vided Spain should receive in pait payment, and at a
fixed rate, the Bonds of the Cones and those of the
Dutch contractors. This offer has not only been refused,
but is said to have given offence.
The Journal des Debals gives a private letter from
Madrid, in which it is stated that the desertion which
had taken place after that of the two squadrons of chas-
seurs, had deprived the Royal Spanish army of 3:400
men, and 2,000 of whom had entered the Portuguese
province of Alentejn, and 1,400 that of Tra-les-Montes.
These columns are said to have published a kind of
Manifesto, in which they declared that their object was
to induce the Spanish Government, through that of
Portugal, to adopt a system of moderation more com-
patible with the enlightened state and the wants of the
nation: and that in order to attain this end, and to avoid
the dangers and calamities inseparable from a demand
made with force .of arms, they had preferred retiring
into Portugal before they marched to Madrid; but that
if the Portuguese Government did not choose to inter-
fere, they would re-enter Spaitt and plead their cause in
person sword in band.
The intelligence from Greece, published by the node,
is of a gratifying nature. It would seem after all, that
Redscbid Pacha s retreat from Athens was not solely
occasioned by the insurrections of the Janissaries in his
rear, but by the defeats which he himself experienced
from the strongest force assembled for a considerable
time by the Greeks. This force, it will be seen by the
following official account extracted by the Elate from
the Universal Gaulle of Greece, of the 23d of August,
consisted of the heroic survivors of Missolonghi' the
disciplined Moreans under Colonel Fabvier, and a Bat-
talion of Philhellene: (chiefly French), and did not fight
behind walls, or in defiles which assisted its efforts and
operations, but in the open country.

We extract the following from the German Papets
received this morning :

SWITZERLAND, S/IPT. 16.

An inconvenience, which is severely felt by all tra-
vellers in Switzerland, and is a great hindrance to the
intercourse between the Cantons themselves, will shortly
be removed—at least, in part. We allude to the various
descriptions of currency, each of the Cantons having
hitherto had its own coin, differing not only in the die,
but even the value from that of all others. Now, how-
ever, six of the principal Cantons, Berne, Freiburg,
Soleure, Basle, Argovia, and Vaud, have agreed to
have, a currency common to them all. The old coin
below 10 batz will be abolished. The first of the
new coin will be issued, if possible, before the end of
the year; and it is expected that the change will be
completed in five years. The present amount of the
currency of the six Cantons is estimated at 5,145,000
francs; the population of the six Cantons is 709,000.

VIENNA, SUTEMICIL 14.
On Friday, the Bth of September, hi:lmperial High.
ness the Archduke Palatine of Hungary called a joint
meeting of both Chambers of the Diet sitting at Pres-
burg, in which a R.:solution of his Majesty, dated Per-

senburg, 21d August, in answer to the representation of
the Diet of the 10th of June, was opened and read. A,
principal point of it is, that the esta es are desired to
declare what subjects they consider as absolutely ne-
cessary to be discussed in the present Diet, and hi!,
much time they believe will be recini,ed for the purpnse.
The answer is to be given to his*Majery in five weeks
at the latest.

The Paris Morning Papers of Monday, and the &ode
dated Tuesday, have come to hand. We find it mentioned in a
letter from Rome, that the Algerine pirates commit great ravages,
and excite still greater alartit, along the western coast of Italy.
There or four vessels belonging to the Papal States have Men into
their hands, and have been sent to Algiers. Among the ships origi-
nally captured, was one from Corfu, which was released on a re•
presentation of the English Consul.

We have received Dutch Papers td the 27th instant.
They are filled with details of the afflicting state Etf Oroningen and
the other infected districts, where the progress of the dissordes corm
tinues to increase.

There is important political intelligence in the final.
bay Papers, with reference to the present state of Persia. The
north-eastern frontier of that country is the seat of war, as the
northwestern is about to be, the territory being violated by an
Usbeck force under Resume Kuct KHAN, second son of the late
KARI= KHAN KHIWA. He entered Khorasan in January with
30,000 men, committed great ravages, and advanced to Meshed ; he
had commenced a retreat. There has been a serious insurrection
at Doodpatlee, say the accounts from Syihet, at the instigation of
Than Snos, nephew of GUMBHICII Sum; the latter Bed on the dis.
cover, of the plot. As there is no doubt that hostilities have corn.
merited between Russia and Persia, it will be hereafter seen what
advantage the former will take of the rupture. Should the Russians
become masters of the southern shores of the Caspian, the influence
which such an event would give Russia over Persia, would bring
her rather disagreeably near to our possessions in India.
We extract from the East India Papers,-last rece;ved,
via Bombay, the General Order of Lord AMIIIRST, issued by his
Lordship upon the successful termination of the Burmese War. It
is an important public document; for while it pronounces a just
eulogy upon the skill and bravery manifested by the Army and
Navy during that arduous contest, it details, with perspicuity, the
peculiarities of the warfare, which called more particularly for the
display of those qualities.
There are s • everal artTarr—n India, but they bring no
!Other news than what is contained in yesterday and to.day's &as.
Cape of Good Hope Papers to the 20th July have
been received, but they cpntain nothing very important.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

Consols have remained steady the whok of the morning, with
the very trilling fluctuation of / per Cent. and the only bargain
done of any consequence, was the sale of a large Lot for Money
at ao ; since which, scarcely a bargain has been done. Consols may
be quoted, up to the present time, at 801 buyers for the Aeciunt,
and 80 for Money ; for the November Account, they have been
done at 801 I.
In the Foreign market, a defaulter has been declared, but not of
any consequence. It is now positively stated, that the Chililiart
Dividend will nut be paid on Saturday, the period it becomes due.
