The K1ng heard mass in tle chapel ot tnc unateau. Their Excellencies Al. de Villele and Baron Damas carne seve- rally to transact business with 1i1s M ajesty. estcrday. at half past 11 o'clock, his Excellency Sir C. Stuart, he E:nglislh Ambassador, was introduced, with the usual ceremo- nies, to his Mlajesty, and had a private audience. 51. Benjamin Constant was yestcrday seen among the Deputies at Court-Etoile. The rise of the funds to-day is founded on reasonings drawn from the fact of a project of reduction; consequently there is no probabi- lity of-s fall, but in the event of the fact beilig denied. There are various reports as to the origin of the plan. Some pre- tend that it is ministerial; others claim the honour of it in favour of independent bankers. It little matters, say a third party, with whom the plan originates the essential is, that there is to be a re- duction in the Government Rentes, that thire is to be no increase of the capital to be liquidated by the operation of thc sinking fund, and that the Rcuticrs will be free to accept or no. If the project unites allthese advaltages, it is worthy of a French Minister; butall acces- sory bo;mzutses which companies might tlerive from it woulti show a foreign origin. All the c.leulators are on the alert. They are busied in deter. mining what the 5 per Cents. would be worth, if the 3 per Cents. rise orly frosn 75 to 80; and if the 3 per Cents., fronm 75, should rise to 85, which is but probable, with credit such as we now enjoy, the .; per Cents. would mount to the skies. The calculation is nearly the same in the supposition of 4 per Cents. at 93. They would do as well as the others. [From Ga%iiganoi't Afessenger.] On Saturday a Council of , inisters was held at the house of the Count de V'illelc, which sat in deliberation from three o'clock till half.paist six. Geese preparations are making at St. Denis for the interment of the late IRins.

September:- The silence whiicih the Turkish Government preserves respecting thc events already so wvell l:nowvn to have oecurrem at Samos. serves ibut to confirm the truth of what has been stated. A multitude of nprieve letters agree in giving the following details on this subject :_ It Was on thtc 17th August that the Capiran Pacha attemnpted to disembark a corps of 13,000 tcen at Samos. The Greeks allowed the Turkish fleet to approach. and then attacked it with indescrib. aLble courage. They tormed in line fi0 armed vessels, precedel by fireships. In a motment a Turkish frrrate of 46 guns, and many brigs and corvettes, were a prey to the flames and the most tretuen. dous explosions. All thtc crews perished. The .Mussulmcn, seized with tcrror, were eager to get away. The alarm wan also so great at theamp ofScala Nuova, which issituated en the shorc, and but a gutn-slot from the scine of action, tbiat the barbarians who eniposed it took to flight. They fled in all direc- tions, anti some did niot rally till tticy were near Carina. As for the Capiran P.cha, not coeyidering himself safe at Cape Satnt Malria, he proceeded to cast anchior at Boutlrouin. Having subsequently learn ed that the Greeks hiad dtetached eighteein vessels against the E4yptiaris, he ventured again to approach Samos. but 'without daring to undert.kc any thieg. The expedttion to Sati10s Inay be regardetd as abandoned. Lord Sirangfird waits but fhr the arrival of the Marquis de Ri. beaupierrc, the new Amubassador tromi Russia, to quit Constanti- nopIc. SMYRNA, SEPTEMBER 11. [ From the Snzyrneat. ] Letters from Constantinople aninounce tclat thc Sultan hlas, bv his firmness and energy, defeateA the plots ot' the wicked. Every ihing had returned to order. It is to be desired that a Sovereign, such as the Sultan, all whese orders and filrians only breathe mildness ant clemencr, may reign long for the happiniess of the Rayas. No one is ignorant that his iligitness has always condemnedS tibe disorders of his armies. *ur Governor Ilassan Pacha has received orders to enrol S,000 Janissaries, who will march to the new camp, whlich is to operatc a landing on Sanmos. TbIeCe are hcttcr autguries of this new arni)y 'Which will only hecnomposed of Janissaries, men less sangutinitry and( less disposed tu pilage. A French ship front Stanchio saw thc fleets of the Capitan Psleha anti the Egyptian GeReralisinmo in the harbour of that island. The united squadron was dietained by contrary winds, whicl had for some tinc prevailed. The most severe discipline was observed. The soldiers ntid for what they took.
