The Paris Papers of the 10th inst. received last night,
contain nothing new from the theatre of war ; the
dates of the articles being old, and their contents an-
ticipated. The Russians are now placed in a situation
of great difficulty in Turkey ; for after so many re-
♦erses and losses, they are not capable of meeting, with
any effect, the determined spirit which they will shortly
hive to bncounter in. the unsubdued Turks, who are
determined to push the campaign, which the Russians,
for prudential reasons, are anxious to close. The letters
from Vienna, received in Paris on Tuesday, express a
confident hope that the invaders will be obliged to pass
the Pruth, whilst it is deemed impossible that ;Ora can
hold oat against the efforts about to be made by the
GRAiID VIZIIIR for its re-capture.

To judge from the (rulers and counter-orders trans•
mined to Toulon, it would appear as if a great deal of
indecision prevailed in the French Cabinet respecting
the affairs of Greece, and a •ariety of reports respecting
the sepedition is prevalent in the Paris Journals. In
one place we find it stated that the object of the arma•
ment having been accomplished, the troops are about
to•retutn; while in another we read of the embarka-
tion of reinf •rcements to render it more efficient.—
At one time we are told th.t it is not to pass the Isth-
mus of Corinth; at another, that it will proceed to
liberate Athens and the surrrounding districts from thol
Turkish yoke. The whole territory within the limits
understood Br Greece in the treaty of the 6th of Joiys
is said by one party to be already modeled indepese,
dent ; while another declares that the Morea is only
a small part of the •new Stile to which the Allies
meant their mediation or protection to extend.—
From these contradic ory statements, coopled pith the
orders and counter orders, it may be teasonably inferred
tbat the French Government has not come to any fixed
determination on the subject.

,The accounts from Constantinople by the Germs 4,
Mail, received this morning, are of the same date as those
pieviortsly received. The SULTAN and his Ministers

preparations are making for carrying on the war,—

and, it is even said. that the Russian Consmand. r, finding
,that the Commander of the frigate was determined to
protect his convoy from watch, permitted them to pass

between Russia and Austria is inevitable. We have now

With the exception of the French Mail, which is just arrived
we have no other arrivals this morning, which causes a great deartl:
of information.

The Consol market remains in the same state as for these four

The only difference in the price of Consols. since the early part
of the morning, when they were at 87k f for the Account. is, that
they are now Buyers at 87j; but in regard to business, there is
little or nothing cluing at present.
