I Fromi th1 Jolirmal de.h nfleAM r 1 \kTRAkACT FROM A FRIVATE LETTIER.) The following are the details of the affair of Samlos, wh3icih took ,place on the 1Jth and 20th of August :_ Ten thousand Turks landed in Samos the 19th of August, and were destroyed by the Greeks. They could not be assisted in time bv the Capftan Pacha who was at the nmonment attackcd by the Greek sqnadron, which empioyed all the means of destriuction whtich it pos- e.ssted. Thie battle ended by the loss, en the side of the (ireeks, of all their fire-siips, but after they had produced the desired etfect. Thcy lost also three armed brigs, and, which was the most painful, the imimortal Canaris, who had already had tihe glory of destroving two Capitan Pachas, or (irant Admirals. The lo's on the side of the Turks was the Adrmiral's shiip, which was blown up, men and all, by the tire-ship led by Canaris. The irfidels had the pain of seeing destroyed under their eyes, 94 frigates, corvettes, and brigs, burnt and sunk, stranded or taken. Suell is tle is-sue of the Ottoman expedition from Constantinople; and the s,ane ftte awaits the Egyptian fieet, if it lcave Rhodes. It is to God, and not to our valour, that we aLre in(lebted fhr so v st a SUccess. This news lias been broughit to Corfu by a vessel of war of Elis Britannic Majiesty, a witness of the battle, wilici imme- c!iately sailed for Malta. Another letter from Florenece, of Sept. 18, adds-" The victory his been just ofricially communicatei to the British M inister at tkis (,ourt by the loniaA (Government. You can annoulnce it." lThe Efoile says of this news-"1 Ve offer up our wishes that this great news.1 whicll we borrow from the Jon(nal ties Dcbit.s, may be fully conitmed. But neitlher our correspondence, nor the foreign papers, wh cli have to-t(ay reachcd us, enable us as yet to give as certain, sacts of stuch high importance."] I the Efoilc.I AORIIS, Ocr. 4. It appears that redactions on the budget are ordered in Prussia, and that they will amount to four miltions of 1Prussian crowns. The Prissian budget being fiftv millions a year, of which a third is for the war department, this dliminution ot four millions is very consi- derable. The cities of 1ologne, Minden, Erfurt, Stralsund. and Dantsic, will no longer be the seats ot provincial governments. The Minister of War, de Hacke, leaves office, and the five sections of the War Alinistry will be rediced in titure to two, which will be directed by the King's Adjutant, Witzleben. In all the branches of administration there are to be niumilerous reductions. As to the army, the reductions will be confined to the staff, the engineers, and the quotas of the Landvweir. The AMinistry ot Comnmercc will be united to that of the Interior. This great measure of economy must have a powerful inflaience on the ashemblies of the provincial states, whicil take place in the next month. The Gazellc of Aig.ehurg, of Sept. 29, says that Tatars have broueht to Bucharest the news of a chlange, already fbretold, in the Turkish Alin-,try. The Grand Vizier, Ohalib Pacas, has been dismissed, and superseded by the Pachia of Silistria. Ghalib was odious to the Janissaries, whose party now triumphs.

It is believed that his Mfajesty will go regalarly, Friday and Sa- turday, to the evening parties of the Ducless of Berry, and the other days to the Dauphiiness. 1From the Jouzrnal du Conimmrce.1 All letters irom the Lerant agree that the Ottoman fleet has suffered conY.i,lerable loss in an actiots with the Greeks.
