The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this fore-
noOn. A private letter is stated to have been re-
ceived from Madrid, which mentions that a report
vas spread on the night of the 10th, that the troops
of Catalonia, the Piedmontese refugees, and some
French Officers, now in Spain, followed by a great
number of the peasantry, had set out for Lerida to li-
berate Rano. The story, ridiculous as it is, had ex-
cited great agitation in the Spanish capital.
From some confused accounts which are given re-
specting the Greeks of the Peloponnesus, it appears
that great disunion prevails among them, more than

half a dozen Chiefs contending for supreme com-
mand. Their main strength is still on the sea.—
It is stated in a Frankfort article, of the 16th Sep.

tember, that accounts had just been received there,

. _
by express, of a new defeat sustained by the Turkish
fleet, in which some vessels were lost. Another ar-

title from Odessa, of the 28th August, states, that

. .
according to accounts received there from Constan-
tinople, of the 18th, the SULTAN, irritated at the
disasters of his fleet, had seized the palace and all
the property of Admiral CARA ALL, who commands
it.—french 5 per Cents. Friday, 87 fr. 20 c.

The following important intelligence has been re-
ceived iu town from Madrid:

MADRID, SEPTEMBER 9.

Dispatches have been received here of the evacua-
eon of Puerto Cabello by the Royalists. The Spanish
squadron retired to Porto Rico. The war in Costa
Firma seems now at an end ; for, in the whole of the
Veneznelian Provinces, the Royalists. have but one
place left—Oremana.
• It has caused some surprise here that Puerto Ca-
bello should so soon have been evacuated, it being,
beyond all comparison, the strongest place in Vene-
zuela, and in which, on all former occasions, the
Royalists found a secure retreat.

The following is an extract of a letter from the
Agent to Lloyd's at Constantinople, dated August 2;5:
Since my last, of the 10th instant, everything
has remained tranquil; and this is the more fully
confirmed by the renewal of some commercial opera-
tion. In consequence of the Government having
refused to take any more corn, about 130 cargoes
have gone forward, amongst which are several that
had been contracted for fifty days ago, and it is
to be feared that some serious loss will ensue, as
they could not be in a state to endure a long voyage
after such detention. The Cambrian frigate arrived
at Smyrna on the 18th instant. The geheral opinion
Dow seems to be in favour of peace."
Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at
Smyrna, dated 17th August :—" This city continues
to enjoy perfect tranquillity. Nothing certain is known
here of the operations of the Tut kish and Greek fleets
since we last wrote to you."

Quebec Papers arrived this morning to the 18th of
Mgust. The following is an extract :

AUGUST 17.

The Meeting of Merchants and 'others of this City,
on the subject of the restriction of our grain and
flour, took place on Wednesday, conformable to the
notice given, and we trust whatever representations'
may be made from the Canadas to the Imperial Par-
liament on the subject will be heard with that atten-
tion which the importance of the case demands, and
the result will be what justice requires it should be
Justice has been done to Ireland on this head. Why
the Colonies should be debarred of similar rights, for
equitable rights at least we must consider our claims
to be, no justifiable reason can be assigned. To ruin
the Colonies for a consideration of no kind of import-
ance, if at all available to the United Kingdom, is, to
adopt it, against all rules of wisdom, prudence, and
good policy.

We have to-day, amongst our foreign news, two
interesting documents, one of which was addressed
by the Grand Vizier to Count NESSELRODE, Russian
Iklinister of Foreign Affairs, in consequence of the re-
fusal of Baron STROGONOFF to receive the answer of
the Porte to the Russian note. The other is the an-
swer itself, which was sent with the former to Count
NESSELRODE. They are drawn up with great sim-
plicity ; and are marked by an earnest desire to con,
ciliate the Russian Government. There is, however,
a striking difference in the tone of both, as they re-
late to the persons to whom they are immediately
addressed—that to the Foreign Minister is highly
complimentary to his justice, moderation, and pacific
sentiments ; whilst the Ambassador is charged, with
with falsifying the facts,
more candour than courtesy,
which he was in the habit of communicating to his
Court. The Porte evidently regarded Sraooonors
as as inveterate enemy, all whose efforts were di-
rected to light up a war between the two Powers,
lAA will account for the harsh truths which have
