We refer Oar Readers to the important intelligence
Contained in the French Papers, received last night, and
inserted in our preceding columns, relative to the coax•
snunications of the Commanders of the English and
French 'squadrons off Navarino, to Isaantu Pecustrin
which they informed him, that they had orders to
establish an armistice de Ado between the Turks and the
Greeks. After having listened with equal composure ank
intention, the PACIIA, answered, that as a servant to the
Porte he had received orders to push the =war firth*
Ilddrea and to attack Hydra, and that it ittOilatel he
should be obliged to suspend their execution, as'his
force was too strong for resistance by the Greeks;
that however, the orders of the Potte not having
provided for the extraordinary cast which now pne,
seined itself, he should send couriers to Constan-
tinople and Egypt for fresh instructions, and, till their
return, gave his word that his fleet should not quit Na-
varin. These Papers contain no farther accounts erf
*the alleged firing on. the Tunisian vessel by an kiaglish
frigate, the report of which was so prevalent for two
days past in the City; but it is believed now that the
-rumour is without foundation, and invented solely for
Stock jobbing purposes. • •

The accounts horn Spain are favourabk to • iite re-
establishment of order in the disturbed districts. The
Junta of Manresa has made its submission, and the
rebels are laying down their aims in all directions.

The Algenteine Zeitung of the 10th inst. missives, chic
Morning contains an interesting atticle on the Graek
piracies in the Levant, copied from the Oriental Specta-
tor of the 25th August; and, if any thing was wanting
to confirm what the writer asserts concerning these atro-
cities, we beg our Readers to refer to the several letters
• from the agents to Lvivrta, at Malta and Smyrna, which
dppeated in our shipping intelligence of no later a date
than yesterday.

•MOH THIIDRIENTAL SPECTATOR.

The Securisy of Commerce in -the .Levant destroyed,
during the last six year., by a war, the end of which. it
would be difficult to foresee without an intervention,
was the thief motive• of the Powers which they 'have
eoweiuded with each. other. After the interests of flu-.
• • alinity, which have been very loosely defined in treaties,
"every other positive interest except that of Commerce,
. i easefolly excluded from this important documert.—
This-purpose is clearly, expressed in the. preamble;,
ttaa we may safely assume that this is not 'aw
empty phrase, but that it expresses the predominant
purpose and the real object of the high mediating
Powers. We live in an age when material interests
are not to be separated from moral interests, and
Where society_ equally watchful for the preservation
of its dignity and its prosperity, expresses its apprehen-
sions with the same energY, when either of these interests
is threates ed. industry,* which in the course of a few
years has made immense progress, has also made im-
mense conquests in regard to the influence which it now
exercises in the State. and the last victory which it has
just gained is not the least among diose of which it can
boast. Would any regard have been paid in Europe a
hundred years ago to the wants or sufferings of those
who were then called in contempt the trading class, and
were confined in the State as the Jews still ate in some
Italian cities? •

Things have greatly changed. The rights of corn-
mike, the existence of which is sure to be threatened,

theidis scarcely a day that they do nor make some

is that of sometimes falling in with a man of war; but

on all the heights, it is only through some neglezt,

nothing to fear; but eislietheir vessel burnt, to be fed
for a month or two on board a frigate,' and at the end
to be delivered up to the Greek Government, 'Web
never fails to promise exemplary punishinent.—,
Now, we ask all the officers who have leer many years
visited, without intermission; alt'the coasts and islands
of Greece, has any one of them ever known a pirate
punished either at Napoli or elsehere? In this manner
piracy has become the favotirite occepation of Unties,
'and every body seeks to participate in it. A kind of
Oita% speculation' has been made of it, which has its
o*n shipowners, captains, sailors; and even'instirance
companies: it is in true the only perfect and regular
organization which hai proceeded from the revolution
of 1821. Most of the indieidtrals In Greece who are
'distinguished by their wealth or their situation, have
fitted out piratical vessels; which they protect with all
their influence, and derive from them immense prrifits.
The Government itself, which decrees loans, but
knows very well that it is better to gain money than to
talk abcat it; gives letters of marque to a number of
small stated vessels which it calls its cruizers, and
which cannot be recognised-as:pirates, unless they are
caught in the fact: otherwise they are packets, or
guardships of the Government ! A large boat lately
detained and examined at Milo by the Loiret French
brig, exhibited regular papers, and was released ; the
day following it plundered an lonian vessel. When
caught in the fact, the ship is burnt and the crew
delivered up to the Government; this is their proper
punishment! this' is in fact giving back the sailors to
the privateers. There is not now a town on the coast,
an island on the Atchipelago, and, perhaps, not
an individual ' in the islands that does not partake
ditectly •or indirectly in the profits of piracy. It is
a universal evil; or, id the language of the pirates,
a universal good: for every body lives by it, and irtiny
be said in good earnest, that nobody dies by it. Thinfes
and murderers are punished in all countries; but ;in
Greece the pirates who are both, are spared. The bier
of circumstances must necessarily carry this occopatioe
as far as possible. To this cause of anarchy arid dis-
organization another has latelfbeen added, -which aft.
serves notice, namely, the settlement in almescall the
islands of bands of Candiais, men used to arms and
war, 'formidable by Li eir numbers, and still more by
their boldneis, and especially by the spirit which
animates them to avenge in common the slightest
offence to any one of them. They have caused
the greatest confusion in the islands of Mali' and
Milo; have every where triumphed over the resistance
made to them, and wherever they have appeared esta-
blished themselves as lords and masters. They dispose,
as it were with sovereign power, of the property and
even the lives of the inhabitants, and with threats, dl
vengeance, imperiously command the alliances that
please them. Very lately a young and beautiful girl
at Milo was. dragged to the altar by a Candiot, who
had taken a liking to her, in spite of her resistance, in
spite of the repugnance of her family, who were com-
pelled by dreadfol threats to consent. If we reflect
that a whole people, which for these six years has lived
by plunder and unbridled licentioesness, is to be brought
back to the duties and habitsof wellsegulated social life,
the.firmest well slay be staggered. We repeat it, the
destruc.ion of piracy must bp: the first object of the at.
tension of the. mediating Powers,.end they will doubt.

The Princess AUGUSTA passed a quiet night an
Monday, and was better yesterday. The Princess Somata visited
her Royal Sister. Some of the Foreign Ambassadors and MI,
Meters, and rest numbers of the Nobility and Gentry, called yes-
terday at the residence of her Royal Highness, in the King's Pa-
lace, St. James's, to inquire after the health of the Princess.
The Duke of CLAatsica arrived at the Admiralty.
yesterday morning, from his seas at Bushy Park. The Rotel
Duke left town soon after five o'clock, on his return to Busby.
Viscount PALMZRJTON •isited Viscount Gonanunt
yesterday, at his residence in Downing-street.
A number of the principal Kanter, of the Metro-
polis waited on Viscount Goataascat yesterday, and had a confer-
ence with his Lordship, for the purpose of pointing out certain
clauses in the new Malt Act, which came into operatics on the'
10th instant, which, it is contended, are of a vexatious nature, and
if carried into effect, would be highly prejudiciatto the trade. 'The
