By the Packet ship ~.Stephania, Capt. MACY,
rom Havre, the Editors of the Commercial AID
vertiser have received several files of Paris pa
pers to the 81 OF October. Tho London Con.
rier OF the Goth, was received by the same yes-

THE CREEKS. II
There IS no INTEL gence from the Greek and
turkish fleets SO late, by two or three weeks.
as has been received and published three weeks
ago. The Paris papers ofthe Goth of Oct give
a letter from Constantinople, dated September,
%, i'll which ii is represented that the GreeLs
hao oeen beaten IN n succession of engage
inents near Samos; and this letter is published
In several OF our papers this morning, as news.
and without comment. But in order 20 mt fbc
matter completely and at once to- rest, on a com
parIson ofdates and circumstances. the actions
mere spoken OF, refer TO the engagement be-
tween the Greek and Turkish f.ct, near Sa.
mos and to that with the Egyptian feet - hich
took place early in September, between Chios
aud Rhodes. Ample accounts of these enpare.
ments were given IN the Commercial Adv rti-
ser OF the 3OtE ult. and of Ile I'd and Sd of De.
cember (nst.) One of the morning papers also
publishes a paragraph founded on a letter from
Smyrna, of the Goth of September, stating aha,
the Greeks were b!ockadins the Turkish and
Egyptian fleets In the ports of Budroum and
Stancho. Now this account refers TO the sim

''of Stancho." in which the Greeks gained a
partial success, the first account of which was
published IN tins paper on the 30h of Nov.
last. But IN order TO settle the question. il is
only necessary to bear in mini that these az
counts are from Smyrna of the Goth and Goth of
September, and from ConstantiDople of the same
date, and then add the fact, on the Both nit. two
American vessels arrived from Smyrna direct,
bringing certain intelligence from that place to
the nh " October, at which time the campa;pn
was ended on the part of the Turks, and both
the Turkish and Egyptian fleets were hyinp
for safety before the Greeks. With these
facts before us it is needless to give our rea-
dcrs a column of vague and contradictory ac-
counts of Turkish victories when we have
long since received certain intellisep ce that on
the occasions referred TO, the eagle of victory
perched on the other standard.
ENGLAp.
The trial of Mr.. FauntIeroy had not taken
place. A consultation of his legal advisers was
to take place on the evening of the Goth of Oc-
tober. 1t was expected that Mr.. F.. would
plead guilty and it is intimated that one reason
Tor adopting this course, is that in the progress of
an investigation, facts may transpire which
would criminate certain persons who have had
transactions with him.
Ansexpress arrived at London announcing the
arrival of the ship Pacific, at Liverpool, from
New York.
"A letter had been received from the Rev.
MIR. Cotton, written in France, stating that he
had returned from America for the sole purpose
OF coming to a general and satisfactory arrange.
mcnt with his creditors.

The Foreign Securities are generally de-
pressed. Mexican bonds fell from 6S4 10 GIL,
and are at present at 613. In Columbian bonds
there is nothing doing. Spanish bonds are
2Os; French scrip has declined to 15j; the
rentes are lO2E Soc; Greek scrip 81 to i.
A report has also been in circulation Of the
death of the King Of Naples, which we cannot
trace to any authentic source.
BY the last packet from Lisbon, adyiccs are
received that certain propositions have been
made TO Brazil, and that all negotiations are at
a stand until an answer is received, which is
not expected until the arrival of the November
packet.
SPAIN.
The accounts from Madrid arc TO the 18th Of
October. Some disturbances are said recently
to have taken place i'm Bilboa, and many of the
richest merchants and proprictor5 in that city
had, in consequence, obtained passports to
leave the place. A letter from Barcelona also
gives an account Of some confusion in the town
OF Mega, where the furniture Of some of the CT
tzens which had been seized for taxes, was res
eued from the officers by the populace. But
nothing very serious occurred. IL is said that
an act of Amnesty, more extensive than that Of
May last was in contemplation. The project of
M. Zea, of forming an Aulic Council, has ac-
tually been carried into effect, but, contrary TO
his wishes, it is composed Of Tire Uhra party.
