ming of the 14th, Liverpool to the 10th, and
Paris to the 18th ultimo. The only material
information which these arrivals afford, is in
relation to struggling Greece. The accounts,
as usual, are multifarious, and many of them
improbable; but enough may be gathered to
make it certain, that Missolonghi has been en-
tirely relieved by the unparalleled patriotism
and courage of the Garrison and the gallantry
of the Greek feet.
1t is certain too, that before the signal sue
cesses at Missolonghi, the Provisional Govern.
ment of Greece, under the severe pressure OF
adverse circumstances, had made an overture
to Great Britain to take Greece under her
protection and establish government similar
to that of the Ionian or Seven Islands Many
letters, and other accounts, assert that ne
gociation to that effect has been made, but
theLondon official paper denies that any thing
has been determined on, or even communica-
ted to the British ministry 1t is not denied
however, that such propositions have been
made to the British Agents in the Mediterra-
mean, nor does the Courier express an opln-
ion that the overture will be rejected. The
French papers express much alarm on the
subject, and the movement of Russia in
the matter is predicted. Upon the whole,
the situation of Greece is awful-the Euro
pean sky is dark, and violent storm
nav be fairly anticipated. England will
scarcely reject so Aattcring an apreal TO
her pride and her interest: France and Aus
tria will not be satisfied without participa-
ton in the benefits; and Russia will doubtless
oppose the measure with all her strength
Her immense army is already in the field,
and before long we may probably hear of their
marching to the aid of the Crescent. Z
The money market of England has become
more settled, and stocks of every description
advanced. Former accounts Of plentiful
grain crop are confirmed. Cotton had adj
vanced, and the demand for exportation, con-
sumption and speculation had much improved.
Large sales of Uplands had been effected, at

of brisk speculation, as well on account of the
destructive gales N the WI. as the ascertaned

of Virginia, previously bought at 4sd and
forced off at SGD. Several cargoes had arriv-
ed, which were not disposed of, and the quo:
tations were said to be entirely nominal
Messrs. Duncan & Son, another commercial
house deeply engaged in American trade,
had stopped payment. The event although
serious, was not unexpected.
The report that had pervaded in London at
the last dates, of the complete subjugatlon by
the British troops, of the Burmese empire, is
| contradicted by more recent intelligence,
which shows that the war still RACES with una

We extract below the leading articles of in
telligence by these arrivals
Extract Of letter from Paris, Sept. 7.
"Our Ministers are under good
deal of embarrassment in regard TO the
manner of receiving La Fayette, who
according to the accounts brought by
the Edward Bonaffe, must soon arrive.
The moment our ministers heard that
the General was coming in the frigate
Brandywine, they dispatched orders to
the authorities at Hare, to prevent
any kind of meeting and every mark
of honor which might be attempted to
be bestowed on him. On the other
hand, the most respectable of the mer-
chants and other inhabitants, have re-
solved to express their esteem for his
character by every means in their pow
err The military commandant is a Vi
olent royalist, but the mayor is good
natured moderate man, who wishes to
avoid every sort of tyrannical measures.
The American frigate is another sub
iect Of embarrassment. 1t is usual when
frigate enters the port, for her to sa-
lutte the batteries with IS guns, but
this salute must be returned by an e.
quail number. Now our government
are afraid that if they reply to the A.
merican salute, the people will think
they are expending powder in honor
Of La Fayette, but if they do not agree
TO return, they will be obliged TO let
the frigate enter without saluting, for
they well know that the American cap
tain will not burn a match without an
assurance of reciprocity" Times.
