The French journals of Thursday and Friday last, which arrivced yesterday, are entirely destitute of impor- tamt political intelligence. Otte of them (the Journal des Debats) mentions in a letter from Aladrid of the 27th ult., that keen discussions were cakried on in that capital respecting the financial operations of AMi. ZEA, which were. said to have failed. The two preliminary propositions for a new loan could not of course be entertaine by Oma; ,, Power which had formerly so prerdmptorily rejected themn. These propositions were the.actknowledgmentof -the debts of the Cortes, by accepting theirr to the amourit of 20 per cent. in a new loan, ant the secufrity of the church-property for the repaymenit of both. As they could not be agreed to, M. ZEA was obliged to declare, that he could not on any other terrns obtain a loan in France or England. It would ap- pear thsatthe new King CH A ItES X., in thiehleydayof Iiis po- pularity, is so beset with petitionis wlhen he rides out in his! carriage, that he has been obligel to issue 'an order to the oflicersof his guard, to receive, in his nane(>, the applications! ,intended for him. The petitioners will soon learn, that a Kingof FRANCE cannot satisfy the clesiies of all theworld;j and therefore that it will be advisable to spare their parch- 1 inent. We some time ago noticed in the Aorniteur, the| appointmelnt of the Dake of I ORDEAUX to be General of the Swiss Guards, and remarked on the singular mnilitary merit which the appointment pre-supposed in a youngoffi- cer of three years of age. The following paragraph shows! theR continued progress of thle Duke in Royal favour and niilitary renown :"On the anniversary oilthe birth of the " Dukeof BOUtRDEAVx,4hs Royal Highness was nominated " by the KING, Colonel of Cuirassiers of Angouleme, who " henceforth are to be called the Cuirassiers of Bordeaux. " It wvas the uniform of the regiment whichl his Royal " Highness wore on the day of the review, and which he " wears daily at his levees." It would be amusing to see the Colonel carried off, or concealed, in the helmet of one of the cuirassiers vvhom lie corm.madns, like Culliver, in the cream-pot of Brobdignag. The following are extracts fromn the Moniteur and the Ejoikc: (The Manitcuir of Friday, Octoboer 8.) "Tke offieiWl port contains a royal ordinance, granting an am- nesty to deserters from the navy, if tbey return to their duty within a certain time-namely, in six months for those in Europe; 12 months ifout of Europe; and 18 monthls if beyond the Cape of Good f ope, or Cape Horn," (From the Emoile, dtated Satuiday.) " PARIS, OCT. 8. Tile Englibh journals seer. to attach much inmportance to the mnovements of our troops in the colonies, and yet nothing is more simple. It is in exicution of thc ordinance of 31st of December, 1823, confiding to the land forces the service in the colonies. The movement caused by the exchange of mrarine troops ior land troops, whichi is now every.where taking place, will cease as soon as it is effected. There will then be only retrular changes.

Thirty Greek vessels, untlet IMiauiis, had rtatebrd for some days all the motions of this suuadroni, to hind(ler iLs effecting a landing oto Samros. The Turks, always under sail for fear of thie fire-ships, thought only Of saving themselves against theml, anid on their side observed the Greek squadron, which was nmuclh lighter and more skilful than the Turkish squniadron. The Greeks always kept to tle w'indward of tic Turas,to be ready to atuack theilll. O<ne day (the 20th) they at length nuirde a moyement, as if to attack tire traxaports, and to seize them. A frigate, a corvette, and a brig immediately were deteched from the Ottoman fleet to oppose them: they were burprised by a calm, on whichl the Greeks sent out three fire-ships. Thic tlirec ships of war keep up a fire from all their guns, the Turks are enveloped in smoke, and can lio longer see their enemies. They continue to fire, btut at random. No shot takes .flect. The fire-ships approach writhout firing a mutsket, and hidWten by the srtreke, one of them, con(luctedi by Canaris, wlh burnt the Capitan Pacha's ship at Scio, reached the Turkish frigalte aird set it on tire. Thie otlier two fire.ships were equally successrul, and the Ottoman Admiral saw hiis tlhree ships blown tip without be- ing able to save the crews or avenge their death on the Greeks. Durinig the first attack, Citosrew Mclehmet niade a movement to suc- cour these vessels,sceing them surrounded by the Greeks; but sOmIIC oftlI- latter making a sudlden evolution, were advancing to surroundl hint in his turn.
