It is very generally believed that all the heavy Bear accounts which were carried over from the July account have been bought in; consequently, that as this account now stands, it is the reverse of the last. But if it is true that several of the Bankers have com bined to make further purchases, and call for the Stock at the settling day, the bad effect of a heavy Bull account will in a great degree be counteracted. The decision of the Bank upon the question of taking in the Omnium will be known to-morrow, but is of no importance whatever as a matter of Finance, yet, if the decision is in favour of the Petition, the Probable effect upon the public mind will be to cause some rise in the Funds.

The life of poor Birch is still in jeopardy. The Surgeons have not yet found it practicable to extract the ball. lam happy however to learn that he suf fers less pain than he did, and feels on the whole much easier. Ile has been a very active and zealous servant of the public, and has a wife .and numerous young family dependent on his fate. • ' c , I have not heard that any definite discovery has' been yet made as to the person who fired the ball, er those who were with him. Several persons have been examined. .The situation of Bumf, whom it might be dangerous to trouble with inquiries at pre sent, is necessarily a great hindrance in the way of discovery.— Mr. HARRISON expresses himself in the most grateful terms for the manner in which Mr. BIRCH behaved to him in the way down, nor does any man, I believe, more sincerely lament the fate which has befallen him. The people hereliad expected the arrival of Mr. II taarsos as early as Thursday evening, and were collected in great numbers in the streets to greet him. An empty chaise happening to pass through, some one raised the cry that it was the chaise which had `brought Mr. Hanatsort, and that Britoil had alight ed with Ids prisoner at the outskirts of the town. The snob immediately fell with a blind fury upon the chaise, and in a few minutes completely demolished it. The driver happily escaped tmhart.

The Professor still con tinues the Iris, and declares in it, " the Iris will not be dropped, sooner shall it be published under Tur-, kish protection." A Berlin article states, that only a very few per sons have been arrested as implicated in the conspi racy for revolutionizing Germany, and that these are chiefly foreigners. EVACUATION OF PARGA. Letters have been received from the lonian Islands, dated in the beginning of June, detailing the events which took place on the cession of Parga to the. Turks. We doubt if, in the pages of History, a parallel can be found to the fate of the unhappy sufferers. In stances we have many, of people being dispossessed of their rightful inheritance—the fields and habita tions of their forefathers, by the superior force of some ruthless invader ; but not till the means of those who owed them protection, joined to their own ener gies, had been exerted to ward off the evil. But none of these bear any resemblance to the character that attaches to the fate of the Parguinotes. Every feeling mind Must wish, but the wish is vain, that the whole transaction could be obliterated from record and from memory. No age of barbarism ever yet laid bare more cruelty than has been practised in cold blood upon this unhappy people. Nor did the most heroic ages display in any race of human Sufferers, a loftier patriotism or a nobler energy than in the inhabitants of what once was Parga, at the moment when they quitted it for ever. Being told that the Turks were to enter their territory before the time fixed for their embarkation, the male inhabitants announced their unanimous purpose to put to death their wires and children, and then wage boldly an indiscriminate conflict with their Christian betrayers and their Turkish persecutors, if a single Mahometan soldier should set foot upon the soil, before they had safely left it. This was seen to be no idle threat.— They prevailed over the fears of the protecting Go. vernment, though they bad not moved its pity. The Ottomans halted on the frontier. In the centre of a large square were collected by the people of P.srga, the remains of their buried ancestors. When the bands of ALI PACHA reached the walls, no com plaint was heard, no weeping, no curse, no murmur. The city received its infidel garrison, as Babylon or Palmyra salutes the Christian traveller in the desert ; nothing breathed, nothing moved ; the houses were desolate, the nation was extinct, the bones of the:dead were consumed to ashes. Yet this, we are informed, was a sacrifice to " expediency !" The following is the substance of the accounts re• ceived respecting this distressing subject: By Sir THOS. MAITLAND'S orders, the Officer com manding the British garrison at Parga made known to the inhabitants, that in conformity to arrangements with Ali Pacha, a Turkish force was to enter their territory without delay, but that the English troops would remain for their protection along with the Turks, until they were able to arrange all their affairs and complete the emigration. On receiving this in timation, which was confirmed by the approach of an Ottoman force, the Parguinotes, having held a consultation, sent to inform the Commandanl, that as Rich was the determination of the British Govern ment, they had unanimously resolved, that should one single Turk enter their territory before all of them should have had' a fair op e s.,rtuni!--; of leaving it, they would put to death all their wives and chil dren, and afterwards defend themselves against any force, Turkish or Christian', that shculd violate the pledge made to them, and that they would fight un til only .one should survive to tell the story. - The English Commandant, perceiving by their preparations that this resolution was irrevocable, in stantly.dispatched information to Sir THOMAS MAIT LAND, at Corfu, who sent General Sir FREDERICK ADAM to expostulate with them. That Officer, on his arrival at Parga, observed a large fire in the pub lic square, where are inhabitants had heaped together thp bones of their ancestors, collected from the churches and cemeteries. All the male population stood armed atsthe doors of their respective dwell ings ; the women and children were within, awaiting their fate : a gloomy and awful silence prevailed.— •A few of the Primates, with the Frotopapa at their head, received General ADAM on his larding, and assured him, that the meditated sacrifice would be immediately executed, unless he could atop the en trance of the Turks, who had already arrived near the frontier, and effectually-protect their embarkation' and departure. Fortunately, Sir FREDERICK ADAM found means to prevail on the Ottoman Com.nandaut to halt with his force. The Glasgow frig4e, Captain MAITLAND, which had been sent from Corfu, having' arrived, the embarkation commenced, and all the Parguinotes proceeded, under her protection, to Corfu. The Turks, on their entrance, found Parga a desert ; and the only signal that marked their reception, was the smoke of the funeral pyre, in which its late inha bitants had consumed the bones of their forefathers. The unfortunate emigrants are now principally at Corfu, waiting, as houseless wanderers, the distribw t;on of the miserable pittance of £4B per head, ob tained for them by their protectors, which is to be i t called a compensation for the loss of their roperty, their native soil, and social existence. Thus closed this memorable negotiation in a scene o amity which the most lively imagination could not have anticipated ; but which, until some new enormities shall have effaced the recollection of it, will rouse against the counsels and counsellors of this empire the antipathy and indignation of mankind. CADIZ EXPEDITION. The fitting out of this Expedition, of which we have heard so often, and on which depend the last l hopes of Spain as to the recovery of the sovereignty of South America, causes unusual bustle at Cadiz. The force to be embarked is estimated by some as high as 20,000 infantry and 2,000 dismounted ca valry; and the ships to convoy and carry them, at 180, of which eight are ships of the line and heavy frigates. Another curious fact also appears from the subjoined letter, respecting the Floridan. The Ame rican Minister has at length discovered that in all, probability Mr. Otits's negotiation will not be rati• fied, so great and powerful is the opposition dis- I played; and on the strength of his discovery, be had determined to send of the Hornet, the vessel that has been so long and expressly waiting in Cadiz to con vey the Ratification to the United States. The effect this news will there produce may be easily guessed. But then another curious question -arises :—lf the Washington Government advanced the agents of Spain, to complete the bargain, any sums of money in part payment, and these have been spent in fitting out the Cadiz Expedition, who is to refund them? PRIVATE LETTER. " CADIZ, JUNE 9i. " The aspect and situation of Cadiz forms a strik ing contrast with the commercial languor and stag. nation I observed in the other parts of Europe I have lately visited. Here the Bay is full,of shipping, and boats constantly seen going to and fro. Every thing looks as if Cadiz enjoyed a large portion of trade and if one were to judge from such appearances as are seen here, Spain would be pronounced in a most flourishing state, and Ferdinand the most powerful Potentate of Europe. In short, all is activity. The dock yards, arsenals—all are at work. Soldiery moving in every direction, and extensive prepara tions making for this last and tremendous crusade against the Independents of Buenos Ayrec, with whose obstinacy and rebellion his Catholic Majesty is in high dudgeon, and to reconquer them he threaten, to sacrifice all the remaining vigour of his Kingdom. O'Donnel, the Commander-in-Chief, exerts himself most strenuously ; indeed, he is the life and soul of every thing. lie has a very efficient Staff, selected from the flower of the Spanish Army, but, like the soldiers, they are not cordial in the cause in which they are to be embarked. Thev would gladly have seen their own country free, before they were sent to make fresh conquests. The late Revolution has cer tainly given a new race of people to Spain, and the distinction between their feelings and the principles of their Government is very great. The late wars, and the experience therein acquired, have given also to Spain some efficient bodies of men, but it is a feel ing prevalent among them, that they were formed and seared under the banners of freedom, and during the brighter days of Spain, wl.en contending against the yoke of a tyrannic aggressor, and they do not now relish the idea of being sent to rivet the chains of their transatlantic brethren, whose present state of hostility, they arc aware, has grown out of just de madds of redress which have not been attended to.— They arc not satisfied with the rewards they receive. The service to South America, more particularly since the fate of Morillo's expedition has been known, is considered as a forlorn hope, and they deem this' a poor requital for all their exertions and sacrifices' against the French. " It is, however, difficult to form a just conception of the extent of the preparations the Sfauish Govern. went is tnakirg for the Grand Expedition, so much du the reports vary. Some say 20,000 infantry, `2,000 dismounted cavalry, and a corresponding quantity of horse and foot artillery are in readiness. I consider this exaggerated in the proportion of one third ; but still the preparations are formidable in appearance, though much less so in reality, so he terogeneous, and even discordant are the elements of which they are composed. To escort and convey this body of men to the River Plate, a large naval armament is assembles', supposed in all to amount to 180 sail. Of these eight ara ships of the line and heavy frigates, a proportion of corvettes, brigs, and schooners, and the remainder are transports, hospital ships, and victuallers. Thirty heavy gun-boats have -besides been constructed, to act in parts where the , water is shallow. The expenses of To large an armament no one would have thought Spain could have borne at the present moment, and indeed it is a matter of great wonder where the money comes from. The plucl. of King Ferdinand•;s in fact up, and it would almost seem as if the past zlories of Spain rested pn the pre sent stake. To this purpose all the 'revenues have been qppropriated, numerous small sums have been gathered from various quarters, even come, I am told, from the church- doors. Certain external sup plies of money also have been had, and the defi ciency is made up by the Cadiz merchants, who have been led to unloosen their purse strings, under the idea, that if South America becomes Independent, they will have to shut up their counting-houses.— They are acting on the principle of, do not lose a sheep for a penny-worth of tar. O'Donnel knows them well, and what with the dread of their being considered as bad Spaniards, if they do not contri bute, and on the other hand, the hope of a future reviving trade, he make them sweat pretty profusely. O'Donnel is a strict disciplinarian, and he keeps his men tight at work : but his is not the only kind of discipline they have to undergo. The Spanish King, in the excess of his piety, has thought it conducive to the interest of Church and State, to supply each regiment with a nnmber of extra chapl.i:ns Preachers, who are continually impre , sii: ;: - minds of the soldiers the horrors of pen .e 7 ; in rebellion against so ji. , so upright a S. as their present one; the danger of Heretit allowed to frequent his dominions, abroad, z, ;: holding out to them, at the same time, tl,e •; and temporal rewards that await them, it vent the Monarchy from being dismembeled. been prevent at some of these platicas, or di c. anci•frorn the descriptions giren, certainly t!. diery must be led to believe they are going ; against so many Canibals. " It is, however, pretty evident, that all t! does not produce the effect desired ; for 0 . 1).. continually finding out Officers and men ,%;- cannot trust, and replacing them by Wirt formal conspiracies among them have b.- , vered ; and, in my own mind, one of the n. sons why the expedition has not sailed her is the disaffected state of the men. Tw o d. I thought it would have been broken up .0z or at least delayed till next year, by i• ported that an order had come down fo General to embark 8,000 men tor II consequence of the delicate state of the IR respecting the Flotidas. " On this subject Ferdinand has, in tirt, pletely got into a cleft stick. Sir Henry and the French Ambassador positively tell 1. Americans shall not have the Floralts; A nd other hand, they are formally ceded by a and possession taker. This affair has, in la. fatal to the late Ministry, but the dilenin:a King is not the less. The Americans ratification, and as a means of overawing S i Mediterranean fleet has been brought into btiurhooci. Here we have the Franklin, 71, iN Commodore's flag. In the mean time, pui..l perplexed, Ferdinand is gone, with n'iy one Counsellor, to drink the waters of SAccdon, or . form a novenna, in order to implore aid from whereby to extricate himself from this diffie; knotty affair."
