Wve iave rercivcfl prCnc,h morning and eveninig papers Of Vcdncsday, an(d lettcrs from Paris of thc same date. If CHARLES X. bc a modest Prinicc, the base flatteries that are heap-d upon him moust cover him with confusioln ; tic sum-total of a lonig lhistory in the Etoile is, that when the Comte d'AatTo;s was little inore thiani 30 years of age, be was dicovered to be a personage of thc " most bril. liaut talctSs, andl a statesman cqually ju(liciolus and well-informed-" But it cannot be boasted of as a new disoovery, that one live Kiing is worthi 100 generations of his prcdecersors Alcfuniet It appears from thesc papers, tla? the Ki?cG hasconferred tlie title of " Royal Highness" va the Dukes Of OaLEANS aid BoL'dBoNS. Our letters state, that the introduction of the DAUPHIN illto the Coun- cil of Nfinisters is understood to be displeasing to M. de VILLELE, wvho sees in the measure a curtailmenit of his in- Xxenec, if not, a diminution of his power. Unable to pr-e Tent thc appearance of such a rival at Cabinet meetings, be was desirous of renedering these meetings as " few and x far bct7wen" as possible, and proposed that they should be held only onee a week-. n this, lkewiae, he Ia sa;d to haVe beent disappointed, as the Council is appointed to meet twice a week-namely, on the Vedinesdays and Sundays. There is not the least rumour, in well-informed circles, of any immediate change i-n the Ministry. 'T'here is said to be great nproar and confusion in the Tuileries among the Household of the late King respecting their rights, some elaiming the kitchenl articles, others the wardrobe, and so on. Such spoils are, to this class of persons, of im- mense importance; and they contrive to interest the fa- mily. in their s&parate claims. The late King kept his Household at a great distantce, and never took or permitted the least familiarity; suchl disputes, therefore, could not have been referred to hitm. His present Majesty is of a different disposition: he talks, laughs, anid jokes with his servants ; and is therefore the less able to resist their pre- judices, or to keep aloof from' their squabbles The fol. lowing are extracts from the papers of Wednesday:- I From the llfeniteuer of Wl'ednesday, Sept. 22.-Oflicial part. 15 PARIS, SEPT. 21. His i\Iajesty hasgranted the title of Roval Highness to the Dukc of Orleans and the Dake of Boutlon." The official part contains at length the programme ot the cere- mony to be observed on the removal of his late Majesty Louis )CVIII. from the palace of the Tuileries to the Royal chturch of St. Denis. " On Thurday next thc 23d, the Dauphin, His Royal zlighness the Duke of Orleans, and His Royal Highness the Duke of Bour- bon will arrive at the palace of tbe Tuileries at a quarter before ten in the moming. " The body of his late Majesty will be moved immediately on the arrival of the Princes. " The departure of the procession will be announced by a salute of 101 cannon. tNon.official part.1 " BARCELONA, SEPT. 11. " The Naval Commander of our port has caused to be inserted in the Diario Mercantel ot yesterday, the following despatch which has been addressed to him by the Governor of Port MIahon:_ " ' The Dutch division in the M'edittrranesn, under thecommand of Rear-Admiral Wetterbech, anchorefl yesterday in this port, hav. ing come in five days from Algiers; aund in consequence of the in- formation given, him by Mr. IVetterbeeh, the Dutch Coonsul has in. formed me verbally, that a flotilla was fitting out at Algiers for the purpose of pursuing and attacking Spanish merchantmen. " ' I hasten to give you thie information that you may warn the mnerchants and captains of ships of Barcelona that they must take great precautions in their enterprises. Alahon, Sept. 1. (Signed) " ' MURFY.' (Frotn the Etoie, dated Thursday, Sept. 23.) "ST. CLOUD, SEPT. 22. The lUng heard mass at the chapel of the Palace. His MIajesty presided in the Council of *Mlinisters, which sat from 12 till 2. Mlonseigneur the Dauphin was present. His Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans paid a visit to his ae Sy EiILIN, SEPT. 4. " lYe learr from Constantinople by authentic letters of the 13th of August, that Omer Brione,Pacha of Joannina, is declared a rebel by the Sultan. This news is highly interesting to the Greeks. Being delivered from a powerful enemy, who is even going to be. coine their ally, they may realize the prediction according to which the triumph of their cause is to be decided in Lpirus and Albania. " TRIESTE, SEPT. 10. After a long interruption we have received accounts direct frorn Smyrna, of the 13th of August. " The Capitan Pacha had (Iuitted his station off AMitylene on the 9tli, and on the I1 th he appeared off Samos. The Greek fleet im- mrediately followed him at a certain distance. "A Turkish army of 40,000 men is assembled at Scala Nuova, ready to act according to theorders of the Capitan Pacha. " All the poptilation of Samos is under arms: the Central Go. verninent has promised assistance.-Arigsburg Gazette.. " The Etoile contains a long letter giving an accounIt of Samos. The writer says that some merchants at Samos, who had served in Russia, had inlrodticed the European discipline with great success. The proximity of the island to the contittent renders it easy to land in several places at once ; but thc difficulty of penetrating into the interior is very grcat. The harbour is long and very narrow, de. fendled on each side by batteries, tbe guns of which carry from side to sitle. The Capitan Pacha could never enter: a couple of fire- ships might destroy his whole fleet, without his being able to defend himself. The number of troops assembled at Scala Nuova is cer- %ainly far from amounting to 40,000 men; for 20,000 could not sub- sist there for a fortnight, the country being laid waste, partly by the frequent incursions of the Samians. partly by the Turkish soldiers themselves. It may be that the Turkish Chiefs make their lists amount to 40,000 men; but as the Turks enlist only in the hope of plunder, most of them who have gorged themselves with pillage on the road, return home long before they have reached their destination ; and we may be sure that those who arrive with their oflicers have only followed thenm beeausc they have not got booty enough on the route. They do no not fear being punished for desertion, their enlisting beinig voluntary, and the tenn nearly left to the soldiers' own pleasure. " There is therefore more reason to liope than to fear from an at. tack on Samos ; and I am persuaded that the Samians will resist with as tmuch courage as the Ipsariots, and withl much greater chlance of suecess ; but a reverse experienced by the Turks in at. tacking thisl island will be fatal to the few Greeks remainiing in Asia MIinor. The Turks will set no bounds to their revenge, and even Smyma may feel the effects of this disaster. There are about 7,000 men well disciplined, and inured by the descents on the Continent."
