An exprcss arrived from P>aris last night, whichl brought a copy of the foniteur of Tlhursday, containing the follow- ing important deerce, abolishing the Censorship. " ORDINANCE, OF Tl'l KING. " Charles, by thc grace of Clod King of Franiec ancl NavaTre- Not .judging it necessary to maintaini any longer the measure which was adtopted under ditferent circumstances agaiast the abuses of the liberty of the journals, by the advice of outr Council we have ordained andi ordain as fol- lows:- Art. 1. The ordinanice of the 15th of August last, which enforces anew the laws of the 31st of MIarch, l820, and the 26th of July, 1821, shall cease to have effect. "2. Our Kceper of the Seals, Mlinister Secretary of State of Justice, and our Ministcr Secretary of State of the inte- rior, are chargcd, each in what concerns himn, with thc executiow of the present ordinance. "1 Given at our Palace of the Tuileries the 29th day of the month of Septenber, the year of our Lord 1824, and the first of our reign. "CHARLES. By the Kiing, The Keeper of the Seals, Minister Secretary of State iW the Department of Justice, "Coant (Ic PEYRONNET." On this popular measure of the new King, the Etoile makes the following observations:- " PARIS, SEPT. 30. " Ever since hiis accession to the throne, Charles X. has -mot ceased to show hiis affable disposition to all who were ,called about him. M. de Chateaubriand was seen to have the most flattering reception from His Majesty; M. Casi- mnir Perrier, invitedl to wait on the Monarch in his quality of member of the Opposition, has also been treated wvith much attention. All the words of the Prince showed a jesire to see all political animosities cease ; but it was ne- cessayy to destroy one of the catuses which the most con- tributed to cherish them. The establishment of the Cen- ztrship had alienated a great part of the nation. To main- tain it, would have beein hindering for along timne the fusion of parti;s, and sttffering an obstacle to subsist to all reconcili- tations, or at least arrangements between the partisans of the resent MIinistrv and the various classes of the opposition which this Ministryhad created by the conduct it had adopt- ed. Charles X. was ionsible of this, and though no public act 'has revealed the intention of the Monarch, it was generally anticipated. For thisi week past it has been perceived that the qAsoTship had relaxed in its rigour-doubtlevs it pre- saged that its end approached. At lengtb, fd0 Moniteur of this morning ptublishes the Ordinance whiclz restores tb us the liberty of the press, and whiclh was so iinpatiently looked for by all the friends of the welfare of France. This Ordinance has cautsed uRiversal satisfaction. The slavery of the press is no longer conFotmablc to. the man- ners of the niationa-it is decidedly averSe to it. Charles X. could not cominence his reign under happier aaspices. May the future not deceive the hopes held out by the present." Tire Prench papers of Wednesday, which arrived last night, contain little else but gleanings of unimportant facts respecting the ceremony of the KxNcm's entrance into Paris on Monday. We findtll the journals joining in one chorus of'praise on every act of the new reign-on every movement and saying of the new Monarclh. The following extract from thle vtoile, respecting Cxxeee, will be read with interest:- (From L'Etoile, dated Sept. 30.) ",PARIS, SErP. 29. "After mass, the King presided in the Council of Ministers, which sat from twelve till three o'clock; the Dauphin was present. " The landing of the Capitan Pacha at Samos, and the Egyptian expedition against the Mlorea, will probably decide the fate of this campaigni, if not of the whole war. Wc tremble when we reeollect that the Capitan Pacha himself'has appeared discontentei with the great assemblage of troops on the coast of Natolia, it not being his intention to burn Samos, and still less to deliver it up to these bar- barians. Ever since the 30th July, an assemblage of considerable forces has been forming without Intermission, and the Capitan Pa. cha will be compelled to take the island by storm. On the 8th of Au- gust the Turkish fleet, consisting of 133 vessels, sailed for the Cliannel of Scio, probably intending to proceed to Samos. Slean. time Athens is invested by 6 or 7,000 Turks, including 400 horse, who ravage the countrv, and advance to the walls of the citadel ; it is in a good state of defenice, and hiss a garrison of 400 men, command. ed by Goura, the Governor ; it has provisions for three years. The Greek Governor, in his salliee, kills ant' takes prisoners some Turks who venture into the city. " On the 26th of July there was a serious action near Salona, in which the Greeks lost 23 standards, and 3 cannons ; the Turks lost 400 men. Aceounts from Sailainine say that the Turkish forces in that par. of tka Morea do not exceed 14,000 or 15,000 men, including those of Negropont. ' The Greeks, being inrformed that the army of Ibrahim Pacha is on its way to lUacro and Rhodes, have put in motion all their marine to surprise it in its progress. " It is thought that Jbrahim is going against Hydra and Spezzia, the garriarnsof which bare been reinforced by GreekAlbanians, and troops from the island Skyathos, which have been brought by .Miaulis on board eight of hlis vessels. The Greek squadron at anchor before hlydra received on tlle 7th of August threce months' pay. This explains why on the 8th there were no Greek vessels off Samos, towards which the Capitan Pacha was directing hlis course. " It has been revolved at Samos, if the Turks should invest the island too closely, to hoist at every point the English flag, and to claim the SUppOTt of that power. " The loan contracted at London has been entirely paid. "The Egyptian fleet was under sail on thc 11th of August,between l\lacri and Rhodes. It is composed of 9 frigates. 14 three-masted corvettes, 40 brigs or schooners, andI about 2i0 merchantmen of all nations, almost all European, but no French. The transports have an immense vateriel and provisions, and a corpsofabout 18,000 troops of the line, armed, organized, and trained in the Europ ean fashion. These 18,000 men consist of four regiments of the line. of 4,300 men each; a chosen corps serving as the private guard of the Prince, and a smail number of horsemern. They are supported by a large train of field artillery. Several European officers command these regi. ments. One of tlem is commanlde by an Aide-de-Camp of a Ge. neral of Buonapartec, who lhas turned i\talnometan since he has en. tered the service of i'dehmet Pacha ; he has the title of Colonel, and has embarked on board the Doi frigate with the Pacha. " Some persons thinlk that the army is proceeding against Llydra, 5pezzia, and Napoli de Romnania; otlhers say against illodoni and Coron. " It is observed, that in the slow progress of the Turkish arma. ment, the ve.ssels occupy an immense extent; but not beig pro. tected by the ships of war, the expedition would suffer great loss if attacked by some Greek divisions. " On the evening of the 12th,the whole Egyptian fleet waa off the Isle of Rhodes. " It was on Thursday the 19th, that the Capitan Pacha was to commence his operations against Samos. " RA.sODAD, JULY 3, 7, 18. "There are serious apprehensions of a fresh rupture between Per. sia and the Pacha of Bagdad. It is said that Abbas 51irza will not agree to the :reaty of peace till the Pacha has paid large suns of money which lie demnands of him. " This is taking Daoud Pacha on his wcak side: lie delays as much as possible: meantime troops are marching on both sides. Several battalions have left Bagdad, taking the road to Curdistan. " The Turks have taken possession of Solimania, wlhich the Per. sians have voluntarily abandenel. It is supposed they repent, and want to have it back again. It will be the centre of military opera- tions, if w..r should break out between the two nations. " At present every thing is quiet in Bagdad and the environs: no. thing passes in Curdistan: the two partes are negotiating, and all differences will probably be amicably adjusted. " Daoud Pacha dislikes war, and in other things lias great address The Prince of Kermashah, his nearest neiglhbour, is not able of him. self to give him any uneasiness; and with money, it is easy to divert the King of Persia from all tlhouglhts of war or invasion. " It is very certain that Prince Abbas Mirza, at the hiead of an army of 20,000 or 25,000 men, has seized on a part of Curdistan. It is still said that the Persians act hostilely nmerely to obtain payment of the debt whicl they claim fronm Daoud, Pacha of Bagdad, but as one incident may lead to another, apprehensions are still entertained of a renewal of the war between the two nations. " iMIeantime the M11inister of WVar of Kennieshak, wlho has come to this city ott account of the relloval of the botly of his late master, Prince Ali Mirza, is still at Bagdad, wliere hc is treated as a friend by the Pacha and his officers."
