PARIS, Aim to.
Some time ago the whole of the public papers dis-
coursed of nothing but the 'Treaty concluded by the
Great Powers for the emancipation of Greece. Now-
a-days we hear no more it. The death of Mr.Chnning
has absorbed the attention of the whole of the Journals.
Yet, if ever a diplomatic question required a more
prompt and imperative decision, it was evidently
that of Greece. After the publicity given to the
Treaty by the Times, and all the Journals of Europe,
it was essential to prevent the natural reaction
which such an act must produce. The answer of
the Divan called also for some explanation on the
part of the United Cabinets, for we cannot so consider
the diatribes in the Times against M. de Metternich,
and a few timid remarks in the Monileur which, in the
delicate situation of our Cabinet, could only explain its
meaning by halves. Yet nothing has been done. The
Treaty once so alarmingly published, the question has
been left in the same place as it was before, that is to
say, no active measures have been taken. The fleets of
Egypt are advancing towards Greece. la a short time
the forces'of the Pacha will second the already victorious
forces of the Turks. The succour to be given trom Europe
appears to us, therefore, very tardy in its character. The
Russian squadron, dimished by five vessels, will not ar-
rive in the Mediterranean until the approach of the win-
tering season, and we know not what are the instructions
of the armaments of Great Britain and France. The ques-
tion of Greece was of a nature to demand rather action
than words, and Mr. Canning must have examined the
case very slightly if he saw not at the bottom of this
question any thing but a little popularity to be gained.
A treaty, and especially a treaty published, may be a
fatal blow to Greece. It may hasten the destruction;
of the Hellenists—of a Christian people—and that is
what ought to have been provided against. Doubtless
due reflection ought to have been exercised previous to
signing a Treaty, which was so intimately connected
with the interests of France in the Levant, and might
bring difficulties innumerous upon the diplomacy o
Europe ; but the conditions once agreed on, and the
principles adopted, every description of delay ought to
have been rejected, and active measures should have
been taken to serve the cause whose defence had been
undertaken.

u The mail from Bogota has just arrived here, bring.
ing advice' that the Congress has deferred the discussion
of the Liberator's resignation till the 6111 of June. The
object of the faction is to prevent the Liberator having
time to get up to Bova_ to swear to the Constitetion
previously to the dissolution of Congress, a bill being
about to be proposed which is to declare all authority
illegal that has not obeyed this formula. In this ease,
though the Congress should refuse the Liberator's
resignation, the Vice President would, de fade, be
the real executive of•the country,-.-a proceeding that
would ensure a dismemberment of Colombia, as Ve-
nezuela would never submit to such an authority
being so obtained. Guayaquil has opened her gates
to General Bastamente and the mutineers from Peru;
they, on the other band, pretending to submit to the
authority of its municipality; but the municipalities
whom they pretend to obey, are mere creatures of their'
will, and act solely under their orders. So long as these
bodies are allowed to exist in America, so long there will
be anarchy, and revolutions on revolutions, insecurity to
peace and property, &c. for they are the tools
with which the disaffected leaders work, to justify,
literally, but special:ly, their conspiracies, machina-
tions, and misdeeds. Fourteen sears of revolution
prove the truth of this assertion, mid the sno e recent
transactions in this country confirm it. The Lima
mutiny is also another proof; and, in fact, every coo-
spiracy that has been, or which can be formed, appears
under the sanction of these generally too corrupt and
servile bodies. People must not judge of them as of the
English corporations: they differ tote cork in their prin-
ciples and practice. Peru, under the domination of its
present governing faction, _evidently wi,hes to dis-
member Colombia; and there is no doubt of her in-
tention to assist the mutineer monsters, The Libe•
rator, on the news of these events, has been obliged
to sacrifice all personal feelings at the shrine of
the public- safety and welfare. He remembers only
that he is a Colombian, and that he must place
his greatest glory in devoting himself for the good
of his country. In this moment he forgets the
ingratitude, the malevolence, and the perfidy which
have assailed him so long individually. Bent only on
the public prosperity, he h+s issued a proclamation,
stating his intentions to take upon himself the supreme
command, until the great National Convention shall be
assembled, into whose hands he will deliver up his con-
stitutional authority, and that power which be posiesses
by the free will of the people.
4, This decree is considered here as the salvation of
Colombia. As his former presence in Venezuela dis-
pelled the fatal evils of the revolution, so will he again
prove the pacificator of the South., and restore that
tranquillity and happiness of which the has been
deprived by the rebellion of a few unnatural citi-
zens. The soldiers, however, now misled, will never
fire a shot against their beloved Commander. They
have been deluded by artifices which all the letters
from Lima prove, and where Vidaure has pub!i,hed a
Constitutional Code, which mar justly be teimed the
mockery of reason ; whilst Bolivia, under the wise and
prudent administration of the great Sucre, is marching
' with rapid strides towards her felicity, undisturbed by
the fury and folly that are destroying her neighbours;
but reactions are ready to burst out in Peru, on the first
favourable opening, to put an end, it is to be hoped
finally, to her agitations and distresses.
u The Liberator will sail in a few days for Cartha-
gene, in a British frigate. General Lara p'oceeded to-
day to Maracaybo, with orders to General Urdanete to
match with the battalions of Cacobobo, Vargas, and the
squadron of Tulia, in all about 2,000 men, to eke fron-
tier of Venezuela, near Cucuta, and there await orders.
Gen. Paez is to proceed with 5,900 men to Varinas.
The brave, able, and prudent General Salem is to embark
for Carthagena with several companies of Junin, two of
Callao, and four of Grenada,--in all about 900 men, to
unite them with the battalions of Tiradores and Apute.
General Bolivar will follow with the squadron of gre-
nadiers of Junin and first of the Guard. There is, there-
fore, no alarm for results, but assurance to see punished
those traitors, once the glory, now the dishonour of
their country. _ _

I. This news may, altogether perhaps, excite alarm ;
but sE properly considered, judicious people will be
convinced that this country has now better hopes of
being testored to happiness and order than ever."

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

The Casual market has been very heavy the whole of the morn-
ing, but particularly so within this hour, caused by a genes al report
that some line of battle ships were preparing at Portsmouth for
Lisbon. This report had the effect of lowering Consols to 87i fur
the Account, which in the earlier part of she morning were done
at 871 ; but within these few minutes, a trifling reaction has taken
place, and Consols may now be quoted at 871 for the Account: a
good deal has been doing.
An Express has arrived from Paris with Mondays prices: Three

A Cabinet Council wet this day at the F.reign Of-
fice in D iwning-street, and continued in deliberation till
a late hour this afternoon.

After the ruing of the Cabinet Council yesterday
afternoon, a Messenger was sent off with dispatches to
Mr. Hums:tom.

With regard to the Ministry, there is, at present, ab-
solutel; nothing new, except that the appointment of the
Duke of. PORTLAND to the Presidency of the Council
was rutted last night.
Letters, dated the 16th ult. have been received by an
eminent House in the City from Constantinople. They
contain no news whatever ; but they state, as the opinion
of the best informed Europeans in that capital, that the
Porte will accept the terms of pacification, proposed to it
by England, Russia, and France.

A report prevails in the City. that only one ship of
the line is going to Lisbon. to replace the four ships sent
from thence to the Mediterranean.

We received this morning the Algeoneine Zeiteng to
the 13th instant, containing the substance of private
letters from Constantinople of the 10th ult. We are
glad to find by these letters that a report was very pre-
valent there, that an English squadron with six thou-
sand troops on board was expected at Corfu. Though
this report, as most of our readers are aware, was false,
still it v)cruld have great influence upon the important
negotiations pending in that capital. To obtain con-
cessions from the Turks, it is absolutely necessary to ap-
peal to their fears; and we therefore rejoice to learn
that they are generally impressed with the belief,
that the British Government, of which they stand
more in awe, than of all the other Great Powers put
together, is determined to enforce its demands in favour
of the Greeks. In the meantime, the Ambassadors of
all the Great P )wers held frequent conferences; and it
is said that scarcely a day passed, without a courier
arriving or departing. The first Dragoman of the
Austrian Legation, who had lately arrived (roan Vienna,
had almost d .ily conferences with the Turkish Mi-
.
lusters. Austria is no cl.iubt desirous to bring thele im-
portant negotiations to an amicable issue ; and her
neutrality, reprehensible as it is in principle, has an
undoubted tendency to befriend her wishes.
The Algenteine Zeitung has also advices from Patr.is
of the 10th ul4. The Turkish fleet had left that harbour
on the 12th of July for Nlodon, whets it was to wait for
the Egyptians fleet. Two thousand mules had arrived
at Patras from Albania, for the use of the Egyptian
troops. Of the movements of the latter, no men ion is
made; and this silence countenances a report in the
French Papers, which arrived last nigh., that laaa-
utu PAmt,being apprised of the intentions of England,
Prune, and Russia., in favour of the Greek., had
ceased to act offensively against that people.

We also receiv:-41 this mowing Frankfoit Papers to
the- 14th instaht, irr which it is stated, under the head of
Semlin, August 1, that Tartars, who had arrived there
from Seres, brought word, that a corps of newly or-
ganized troops was on its march through that part of
the country to support the SKRASEIsa in suppressing the
Greek insurrection. Arm anent' were makung through-
out the Ottoman Empire for the speedy attainment of
this object; and yet these de rionstrations Mill nether
impose upon the Allied Powers, our produce the least
relaxation in thr ir de 'lands.
The Austrian Obscener, which 1 kewisc came to hand
this morning to the 1 Jth insr, c rntaina no sews whatever.

Since writing the above, there ha, been an /II iVil Of.
Dutch Papers to the 21st inst. Coder the head o

.I

Vienna, 9th August, it is stated that Prince.Msrraa-
AIM bad left that city the day before, for his estates in
mirk where, it irreported, he will make but a short
in the first instance.. The tumour is revive 3 that'
'be s to w ?it on the King of Peussirt at Toplitz
and that he wii also proceed to Dresden, to pay his re-
spects to the King of S %amts. To judge from the
number of official persons who accompany this Minis.
ter, it is des that recrertion or mere courtesy is not
the object of his journey. Amongst these we find the
names of Count DC Massey, Baron DR Pour, and BA-
MD CHARLES DR SIMMER, who all hold high situations
in the foreign department. It is supposed that Prince
METTSRNICH, after his visit to Toplitz and Dresden, will
return to his estates in Bohemia, and transact there the
business of his office till the end of September. He is
certainly a clever and indefatigable man, and we are
sorry we cannot add the word—good. The following
are extracts from the Dutch Papers:
