SPAIN. MADRID, JULY Eifbt persons were yesterday conducted to prisei- Dionisio Artero. accused of speaking outrageousll of the legitimate Government, has been sentenced by the Military Tribunal to ten years' imprisonment and NOI lashes. He was led half naked about the streets. An individual who cried " rive ftiego r was arrested, but Thad the good luck to escape as he was leading to prison., Every individual who will join theiloyal Volunteers re ceives a complete dress, which was never before given. The leva is to be general this year in Spain, and this has caused some disturbance at Saragossa. The Government is at present very active in organising the new levies ; but it has not yet single regiment to send to Carthagena, which was lately garrisoned by two battalions of French coming Irons Barcelona. Agitation and disorder ar e increasing in every part of the Penin sula, and even at Valladolid, the Governor-General of Old Castile, . Charles (Monne], has 'not bee* able to prevent outrages. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE: BIADRID, Jusor 19, 1224. ei When a short time ago, at Aranjuez, the Count Ofalia defeated the cabal formed against him by the Ultra Royalists and friarbood—or Don Carlos's party, as it is called—he little expected that his own fall was so near.—The Minister of Marine is charged with the portfolio, until the arrival of M. de Zea Bermudez. Zea Bermudez is a native of, and has been a merchant at Malaga ; was afterwards Consul at St. Petersburgh, and since Minister there 6111819. He is a great friend of Ugarte, and they were concerned together in the negotiation of the Russian ships; is much esteemed by the Emperor Alexander, and was on his way out again to Russia, as Minister, but the Russian Government find he will he more serviceable here. " The French Minister has expressed much dissatis faction at the dismissal of Ofalia; but Ugarte has com forted the King, by assuring him he can do very well , without the assistance of France, for two or three hun dred thousand Russians will always be ready when wanted. M. P4ez de la Cadena, who was appointed Minister to England. goes to Russia instead. . " The French decline in their influence here, and I understand heartily wish themselves away. It is re ported that a principal part of the troops will be with drawn from the interior in autumn, and be stationed be hind the Ebro. The Friars are daily more inimical to the French, and wish them entirely away; they could then reestablish the Inquisition, and, together with the Royalists, think they could easily exterminate the Con stitutionalists, and remain the lordc and masters of the country. On the other hand, the Constitutionalists are desirous of their departure. " The country, they say; is essentially Constitutional; 'the troops, the officers, yet remain. Of the new ballot, tpio-thirds have served the Constitutional Government, and the whole will be up in arms, inspired with one sentiment. They seem to have their plan in agitation: if the Royalists keep quiet, their lives and property shall beheld sacred ; but as to the friars, not one shall be left alive. Indeed a grand resul t w ill b e the consequence of ' the final evacuation of Spain by the French. The Con stitutionalists rejoice at the fall of Ofalia; for though friendly to them, they know a less able man will suc ceed, and the same with every change; they all tend to precipitate the present misgovernment, and the sooner will their cause triumph. All parties agree that affairs cannot go on as they are. " sistesia ;to mamba r was formerly the cry of the Constitutionalists: " sis• tents no marcha,", is the present cry of the Royalists and Ultra royalists. Even Longa acknowledges it to be a system of disorder, and that if he were offered a Cap. taro-Genet alship to-morrow, he would refuse it, to avoid being displaced a month afterwards. The King is folly aware of the state of things." TH E EVENING STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1824. THE FUNDS. STOCK EXCHANGE. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

I rriday — last the Canadian Company was• finally' feelsiedin the City, and the Directors appointed. We hatri, Seta a Prospectus of the objects of this great to undertaking ; and we rejoice to see that, at last, a proper directiob is about to be given to British capital. Ufider the auspices or this Company the poor emi gre, on his arrival ip Canada, will hereafter find suit able employment; and persons possessed of small capital, which, from the circumstances of this country, can hardly be made productive here, will there find asylums ready prepared for theip reception, without en tountel ing those numerous difficulties which have so afters wtecked the little means, apd broken the hearts of first tettlers. What profit may ultimately result to the Shareholders is not the question that we consider, but the good that • this important systematic linproyement in colonial po licy, seems well -calculated to insure. The whole view .of the business in the Prdepectus appears to be very guardedly expressed, as if the Directors had studiously avoided being brought into comparison with the nume- roue projects of the day. • The beauty of this plan, as a commercial under taking, is, that landed security is immediately given for all the capital advanced, and that, in addition to Four per Cent. per Annum interest, the profits arising from the transactions of the Company are to be, from time to time, divided, for the period of fifteen years, during which it is but rational to expect, from the statement in the Prospectus, that these may be very considerable indeed. Out of all sight this is the most rational and best se cured scheme that his been offered to capitalists, since the rage for vesting their property, for interest, in Fo reign Stocks had its commencement. It is the British Colonies and British Interests versus the Elderados. The Prospectus, too, comes before the Public sanc tioned by an authorised statement that a Royal Charter will be granted, and that Government will sanction an application to Parliament for an Act of Incorporation. Oar Readers are already aware that the learned Moonshee Professor GaUITHAUSEN, of Munich, has dis- covered castles, not in the air, but in the moon, and in habitants of course. The learned Professor is pursuing his researches, and, it would seem, with no ordinary success, for be has been able to distinguish, not merely cultivated from uncultivated parts, but even arable from meadow land, and to lay down the precise places where vegetation and animals are to be seen.— One of his first discoveries was a large fortification ; he has since improved much upon this, and has ascer tained that a star redoubt is attached to it " dedicated to religious purposes." The nest inquiry was to ascer tain of what persuasion the Moonrakers are, and this he has ascertained -" they worship the Stars, and consider the earth as a natural clock," constructed of course en that great desideratum with its inhabitants, the perpetual motion. But we must let our Readers, have the Professor's own account, which we quote from the Vienna Gazette of the With nit. VIENNA, JULY St. Professor Gruithausen, of Munich, has now published the first third part of his Essay on the many plain Indications of Inhabitants in the Mooa, and espe cially of a colossal building. The Munich Gazette com municates some of the most remarkable results derived from a great number of observations made last year; they answer three questions. 1. To what htitude in the Moon we there indication of ve getadon? I. How far us there indications of animated beings? 3. Where are the greatest and plainest wants of art on the surface of the Moon? With respect to the first question, it appears from the observations of Schroter and Gruithausen, that the vege tation on the moon's surface extends to 48 degrees South latitude, and 65 degrees North latitude. Many hundred observations have 'hewn, in the different co- i lours and monthly changes of the parts evidently co vered with plants, three kinds of phenomena, which cannot possibly be explained, except by the process of vegetation. To the second question, it is answered, that the indications from which the,existence of living beings is inferred, are found from 50 degrees North latitude, to 37 degrees, and perhaps 47 degrees South latitude. The answer to the third question relates to the ob- nervations pointing out the places on the moon's surface in which are appearances of artificial causes altering the surface. The author here examines the appearances that induce him to infer that there are artificial roads in various directions; and he also describes the great colossal edifice, resembling our cities, on the most fer tile part, near the moon's equator. It is remarkable that it stands accurately according to the four cardinal points, and that the main lines are in angles of 4.5* and 90'; and a building, resembling what is called a star redoubt, is attached to it, which the discoverer presumes Ito be dedicated to religious purposes: and as the Sele. nites can see no stars in the day-time (their atmosphere lbeing so pure), he thinks that they worship the stars, and consider the earth as a natural clock, The Essay is accompanied by several plates. We have received from various sources a mass of in telligence relating to Greece, to which the public at tention becomes more directed as the long threatened campaign approaches. Private letters from Salonica state, that the Captain Pacha had found Considerable difficulty in inducing the auxiliary Albanian troops, to embark on board his fleet, or account of their demanding not only their arrears of pay, but likewise three months in advance; and that the corps of those troops at the fort of Eparnona had absolutely refused to join the Pacha pntil these conditions were complied with, although he had arrived purposely to embark them. If, however; we are to believe an article from' the frontiers of Italy, in the Frankfort Papers, the Pacha of SCUTARI has, through ce the in tervention of a foreign agent," got the means of satis fying the Albanians,.so far as money is concerned, and that he is preparing to attack Missolenghi. MACAO-. I CORDATO is doing all in his power to fortify the place, which we doubt not will make a Most determined re sistance, if treachery does not do the work which the Turkish scimetars are unable to accomplish. . When some time ago we gave an account. of a conspiracy that had been . formed to betray Missolonghi to the Turks ; we were told by the Greek deputies in London, that it was of no importance. It now appears, by a letter from Zante, of the 21st of June, that the treasonable at-. tempt which we described has not been the only one, but that another act of treason had occurred at Misso • • longli, which at one time threatened the most dangereus consequences. It apears that CAIRALC/STOS, oste of the Governors of the city, had agreed to deliver it upl to Jussur PACHA, who was to march 3,000 Turks towards the fortress: The correspondence containing this plot was seized by a post of Greeks, and forwarded to Prince MAUROCORDATO, who took measures to pre vent its execution. The Turks marched, but were met and defeated, and CARALCISTOS is stated to have been put in irons. It is confirmed in the letters from Zante, that a massacreof the Greeks has taken place at Smyrna. The perpetrators were the Asiatic poops, which passed through that city on Oleic way to the seat of war. It was added, however, that when this intelligence reached the PACHA, he caused some severe examples to be made of those who had been most active in the butchery, Considerable uncertainty prevailed at Salonica as to the real destination of the Ottoman squadron ; but it was generally thought that it would first proceed to raise the siege of Negropont. The following article is from the Frankfort Papers received this morning : FRONTIERS OF ITALY, JULY 12. .Thanks to the intervention of a foreign agent, who enjoys high credit with the Porte, the Pacha of Scutari has at length received a considerable sum of money. for the payment of which funds had already been pro vided some time since in a considerable commercial city in the Adriatic ; notwithstanding all the efforts which this Pacha had made among the Albanian tribes, even those with which he had the most connection, he had not been able to succeed in obtaining troops, because he was unable to pay the chiefs. His urgent solicita tions at Constantinople have at length obtained him funds, and he will now have no difficulty in procuring troops. All these circumstances are perfectly known at Mis solonghi, and measures are taken to put the place in a state of defence to resist the new attacks that may be expected from the Pacha of Scutari: there is no doubt that he would have commenced offensive operations much sooner, but for the difficulties which we have spoken of, but now he will not delay taking the field. Maurocardato does everything in his power to orga nize his means of defence in the best manner. For tunately he has already received some remittances of money from England, which have come very apropos. The Greek corps which is in Acarnania, beyond the frontiers of Etolia, has been reinforced, and its van guard increased by some detachments. This van guard is in the neighbor hood of Arta. All the inhabitants of the mountains are in arms, and resolved to make a desperate resistance to the attacks of the Turks. Bat in this state of things Maurocordato must renounce all offensive operations. Workmen are em ployed without Intermission in fortifying Missolonghi, should the Turks advance so far. It is hoped that the plan of defence which succeeded on the last occasion may be repeated; that is, to cut off their communica tions* and by this means compel theta to retreat ; foe it is impossible for the Turks to make themselves masters of the place anises the fleet attacks it by sea; at the same time, we have not yet heard that the fleet has ap peared in the lonian Sea. The garrison of Patras re mains inactive, and has not attempted any fresh sally; nor has anything passed at Lepanto. Dervisch Pacha is said to have received orders to remain on the defen sive till he has received fresh instructions. By the Union, arrived in the Clyde from Demerara, files of papers to the 15th of June have been received. The following extract is from the Guiana Chronicle of . the 14th of June : " We are sorry to learn, that Within this last fortnight the page of three estates between Georgetown and Mahalca have refused to do their work, and that the principal pans of each of them have been down to the Fiscal, to lodge complaints against their owner* or managers. These complaints, we understand, have been, for the most part, of a frivolous. and vexatious nature—but we have yet to leant what measures his Excellency the Governor, or the has adopted, or intends to adopt, to prevent the recurrence of this improper and disorderly conduct on the part of the slaveN for the fu ture. A great number of the mean from the Big Diamond estate, up the river, came down to town this morning ; and if some decided steps are not promptly and vigorously enforced, his' Honour mar expect to be visited, in a short time, by the gangs of all the estates to the country.
