LATEST FROM EUROPE.
From the .Seac- York .american, Ocfooer

ult. inclusive. We find, however, little
Of news in them. The French per
cents. had again fallen from lo2 to 80
so. 1t appears, however, that M. de
Villele had been so far successful in the
conversion of the per cents. into )
per Genus. as to have authorised the Is
suing Of a royal ordonnance, dated the
esd September, setting forth, that, in
asmuch SC, 674 lis of rentes, represent
ing capital ofupwards o. 600 DOC, 900
.had been converted into rentes at 5 per
cent. amounting to e4,45s,oS5, the ba-
lance, viz: 6,a26,2' should be dimin-
isbed, in the amount Of the taxes for
1926, on landed property, and on oors
and windows, at the rate oil 8 centimes
Der franc, on The land tax, and 6 CEN
times per franc on that on doors and
windows.
The King of Prussia had arrived in
Paris, on visit. y
Mr. Gordon, Secretary of the Coun-
Gil of Castillo, Of whose arrest we heard
by the last arrivals, and who was said
TO be very confidential servant OF tae
King, has been restored to liberty, and
NJ. Calomarde preserves his place, not
withstanding the opposition OF M. Lea.
Commercial letters from Alexandria,
of the slst July, announce the arrival
there of the Pacha Of Egypt, for the
. sale of his cotton, but add that he could
not attend to business until after the
departure of fresh expedition against
the Morea. .r
The Greek Committee in Paris have
disavowed the French General Roche,
who with an American named Wash
ington, took upon himself 10 protest in
the name Of the French Committee a
eainst the Greek Government invok-
ing the protection Of England, It's
scarcely necessary to say that Mr..
Washington is alike unau'horised to
speak in any other name than his own.
The Eioiie Of the Goth, has the fol-
lowing article respecting Greece:
Coastaniinopls, 25h .4ug.-The affairs
ofthe Peloponnesus appear TO have ia
ken an unexpected turn. The march
of Ibrahim Pacha into the interior OF
the Morea, was undertaken on the CAL
cula,ion Of discord and treason among
the Greeks; but as soon as Colocotroni
had rejected the offer by which the T.
pyptians sought to win him, and Mis-
solonghi held out, the enterprise was
already half frustrated lbrahim Pa
cha, however, conducted like an expe-
rienced soldier; and il, Notwithstanding
his operations are unsuccessful, 1t must
be attributed to the conduct OF Com
modore Hamilton, and to the resolution
of the Greeks to place themselves UNI
der British protection.
The last attempt Of Ibrahim against
Napoli was defeated, and after losing
IS to 1900 men he was obliged again
TO retire to Tripolizza, where, ii faith
is to be placed in the recent Greek let
tiers from Smyrna, he cannot long main
tain himself. Meanwhile, fifth divi-
sion is in Gambia, ready to embark TO
his support.
The Captain Pacha, after his revers-
es before Missolonghi, sailed tor Suda
TO transport reinforcements to the Mo-
rea. A revolt broke out in Gambia a.
mong the Spachiotes will be appeased
by the Pacha Of that island, and can
have no influence upon the embarking
of the Egyptian troops.
The appearance in the Archipelago,
fsays the Journal du Commerce OF the
oath Sept.) of an American squadron,
composed Of a ship Of the line and Sc
verai friga,es, is fully confirmed. This
event, which at first scarcely excited
notice, now gives rise to the strangest
suppositions 1t is pretended that the
American government is granting sue
cours and assistance to the Greeks, in
order TO withdraw them from the pro-
lection of England; but this appears to
us quite improbable. The United STATES
have no interest in the quarrels OF the
East, and their external policy is too
distinct 10 make it probable that they
would sacrifice TO popular enthusiasm
their money, their navy, the peace they
enjoy, and their good understanding
with European nations. 1t would be
great imprudence on their part, to ex
pose a considerable armament IN the
Mediterranean a, two thousand leagues
from home, in the midst Of French and
English fleets, that could annihilate 1t
in moment-besides, we can imagine
no motive which could induce that
wise and economical government to
keep up station in the Mediterranean.
We are therefore convinced that the
American government is not concern
ed in this expedition-nevertheless the
vessels of the squadron are American
this is a fact generally established. The
squadron has taken possession OF the
island of Porro, and one of its vessels
has, as is said, joined the squadron OF
the Greek Admiral Sacthury.
