FRANCE AND 6rAN.-JJy erinkli from the
French Journals received at New York by t'.ie J*it si
Cadams.it appamjhst the regency ,t Madrid,
wen proceeding with the utmost deliberation to
tcatora the aneienfdrder of things In that king
dom.—The arbitrary decree of 1830, establishing
a censorship over the pro*A bad been fwriredi
the order of Jesuits restored, pod fe Wu expect
ed they would not atop in their exertions to "a
meliorate tbe ^fpditiou of the Spvdrh people,"
until they had restored the lnquiaition (a all it,
former plenitude of power. Jn France noinfor
■nation could be obtained respecting the political
aflairaofeUher countryJurlher than what warpro
mitigated intl.e Ministerial Joxrnab, every mea
sure a as retorted to in order to keep the people
in the most profound ignorance. The only taro
remaining liberal paper*, the Constitutionel and
JotrrnUkf Commerce; are slated, in i letter of
28ili of June, to have "an Ar yielded their hide
pendence as scarcely to deserve the name.”—
“The reason (continues this writer,) why lime
journals have lately exhibited to much -coldness
Slid indifference concerning tbove very thi'gs in
I'.vodr of which they formerly nunifasted so
much violence, clearly proves that their fondue
tor. could never have been sound at heart. The
censorship of tbe press not being found sufficient
to accomplish the abject for which it waa intend
ed, another plan was resorted lo by government
to silence opposition, and money waa found capa
ble of effecting what arbitrary power could not.
JU.U00 francs per month are now given to the
proprietors of those journ t'^, and it has as com
pletely silenced the voice or truth and liberty in
Ibeie journals as it possibly cmld be. The pub
lication of a third liberal journal hat been aus
pended, and tbe fourth is under sentence of po
litical detth. in this way this modern l’ltaroab
is likely to rid himself of the locu«ts which have
lor some time troubled him. As to the ultra
journal-, they am no: worth reading; their edi
tors are total strangers to the truth j and judging
Lorn their remarks, one would conclude tlat
they were of opinion that a lie weK stuck to is
as g'tod as the truth, placed in such a si-uatian,
o ith all the sours- s of information cut ulf, it is
out of my power to make you acquainted with
..ny political news. You would be highly amused
could you hear the newsman crying out the victe*
rics gained uver the Sp miard-s that Mina is ta
ken, that he is on his way to Fans, that the con
stitution is overthrown, Ac. Ac, Every one,
houreter, knows what credit to attach to these
reports as the aoerce where they originate is sit
uated in tbe very heart of Faria.”
1UKKEY AND GREECE—We turn with
pleasure from the picture exhibited above to the
aifain of the Ureeks, from whom the most Hatter*
i”g accounts continue to be received, while the
situation of Turkey appeals to become every day
more and more critical.
The intelligence of the taking of Lnpin'.o by
assault is conlirmed, as also the surrender of Nc-
gropont by capitulation to tbe patriots. Patras
waa reduced to the last extremity, end was ex,
pcctxtl net to held out long. The National A--
•ernbly of Greece terminate ! its labours on the
dUth April, and the management of public affairs
was confided to one central democratic govern,
ment, composed oftwo powers—the legislative
and executive, at (he head of which had been
placed twn Greeks of tried patriotism and decided
talents. Several decrees had been issued, and a
proclamation addressed to the European people,
thanking them for the sasUunee which they had
eatendedto the cause of the Greets. It ia also
ascertained, by advices from Vienna ofthe 16 h
June, that the Austrian court, agreeably to the
example of other power*, bad given order* to ill
it* naval commander* to respect the blockade of
Turkish porta by the Greeks, whenever such
blockades are effectually maintained. This poli.
cy has esidently been dictated by a conviction, on
tbe part ofthe Kuropein son reigns, that the in
dependence of Greece is a matter no longer to be
doubted.
Account* tom Alexandria in Egypt state, that
the Turkish forces stationed in the Delta had re
volted, and refused to march against the Persians,
who were making inroads into the Turkish em
pire. Tlte Pacha of Egypt, who had received
orders to proceed with his army to Bagdad, found
it impoesihle to move In coniequenec of this re-
voltjsnd, as a precautionary measure he had in.
teidicted the aaiting of the Turkish fleet until the
commotion should be quieted. Add to this, that
the plague wu raging at Alexandria, Constanti
nople, Janina, and other placet in the Turkish
empire, and the affairs of the Porte will appear in
no very flattering condition.
On the whole, (saya the Evening Post,) we ’
think it will no longer be dbputed that Greece
bat triumphantly, and, tingle handed, risen above
her greatest difficulties, and presented to the
world another memorable example ofwhttmay
be achieved by a people when they are united,
and animated by, the love of liberty. We ahall
not be nrprixed to learn, that the powers or Etr
rope had agreed lo recognise the independence
ofthe Greeks, and to send Ambassadors to the
seat of government. The commercial advantages
to be derived from this, particularly by Great Bri.
tain, cannot but be correctly appreciated by ibe
ministers of these powers.

a piece of sacred music, composed fur the

oration was- succeeded by an oration in

valedictory address suitable to the occasion
Several of these orations are said to have
been conspicuous for excellence of style

on eighteen young gentlemen, member of
