This alarm is to be deplored, both on account of the temporary mischief which it occasions, as well as of the serious loss of property which will be the speedy consequence, whenever the money new withdrawn from ertulation in the pante, shall come into competition for re-investment. The price of gold in the Market, is below the Mint pric# to the extent of 41d. per ounce. Is there any possible sign, so perfectly infallible, from which we can infer that the issues of the Bank are not excessive?—That our circulating medium, in general, is in a sound and healthy state P—And yet we see our cotemporaries most mischievously insinuating that there are, in certain quarters," aspirations for stopping, 4 4 by an Order in Council, the payment of specie at the " Bank." True it is, that the Journalists asserting such a .rumour pronounce it in so many words to be unfounded; and they also applaud, in set phrases, the prudent, the judicious, and admirable conduct pur sued by the Directors of the Bank, who, foreseeing the tempest, trimmed their gallant bark accordingly, and set her head fearlessly to the wind—conduct for which they are entitled to the lasting gra titude of their country. But still the impression left on the mind of the timid and ignorant capitalist, is an indefinite idea of danger—and a possibility. in some inconceivable way, that a general bankruptcy may hap pen. This alarm is, indeed, so utterly extravagant, that it is mere nonsense to refer to it. The immediate effect, however, among the unthinking and panic-stricken, is st*picion and distrust of all security whatsoever. The cell for money is roomer grossly exaggerated, as is evident by the Three per C. nts. maintaining their prices at 133, and by the French Funds rapidly rising. One cotensporary says, that the' curse of the country is the exclusive monopoly of the Bank. Another asserts that the master-evil originates in the Bank and- Country Bankers having departed from the ordinary principles of banking, and advanced money on mortgage: A third affirms, that the public misfor tunes.of the land are caused by the rejection of Mr. Serjeant Orrstow's Bill for repealing the Usury Laws. The all-powerful answer to each of whom, is con tained in one sentence—Gold has fallen in price— tlierefore, the circulating medium in paper is not eccessive, in metal not deficient. We 'think, how. ever, that the curse of the country is the exagge rating real evils and inventing imaginary ones, to terrify silly old men and women into a mental fever, which, by contagion, may spread universal distrust, and produce distress to many thousand innocent fami lies, which would otherwise never have happened. Considering the present question of more immediate and pressing importance than any other, we shall once more trespass on the patience of our Readerstamorrow, by wonting into the three causes, which, as above Itiollo4 . 2re *lord to bave t cifated the recent de mand for -.stair.— • ' The Lords of the Treasury having hid under their c-msideration the change cf corrency, which, by an Act passed, in the last Session of. Parliament, takes place iii ballad from the 5113 of January next, it was decided by-a minute, bearing date the fith inst. that the pay and allowances of the Army shall, from the commencement of the military year, viz. 45th of December, be issued in. - British money, ahich may be considered virtually it a trifling increase in their pay, for, although the pay of the Army was nominally the same, whether serving in G•eac Britain or ITeland, it was only issued in Irish currency to tl-e troops stationed in the latter country. We trust this measure will operate greatly to the ad vantage rf Ireland, as its immediate effect will be a considerable increase to the circulating medium of the country. With this view of the case, it is a matter of some regret to find that the Lords of the Treasury have not extended to the Civil Departments of Ireland the same temporary benefit which the Army will experi ence by the change. We say temporary, because, if our expectations be reslized, the advantage will not be long withheld from annuitants. We do not, however, intend to assert that the cases are strictly analogous, because the rates of pay for the Army were fixed, w idl est reference to the value of money in Ireland, whereas, the salaries and incomes of the Civil Department; of Government were probably calculated with reference to the currency of the country. We have very much pleasure, however, in staring that there are annuitants who will receive the same amount of sterling money that they have heretofore done of Irish currency ; we allude to Officers on retired full-pay and on half-pay; the widows and children of Officers, and the pensioners in Kilmainham Hospital, as well as the out-pensioners of that establishment. We have received the Etoik of yesterday by express. It contains no local intelligence of interest, but various accounts respecting the affairs of Greece, which, how ever, are too vague to be relied on. There are accounts from Smyrna of the Roth Nov. at which time it was not known positively whether the Turco•Egyptian fleet bad reached the Morea or not, although it had been more than five weeks at sea. k part of this fleet is expected to proceed to Candia, where the Greeks are said to have gained i decisive superiority. Accounts from Napoli di Romania state, that in con sequience of the critical state of the country, the Senate had been assembled and all the Captains called to take part in the deliberation. A FrenetrOfficer •is said to have harangued them, asking whether the Senate would' march with the nation, armed eh muse, to destroy the new tyrant who threatened to subjugate the country, or they would prostrate themselves at the feet of their new master. This speech, we are told, created a great narration in the Assetnbly, and they resolved to take up arms and march against the;eneiny. The European vessels of war continu to attack the pirates in the Archipelago, and to confiscate such vessels as they capture. Letters from Riu de Janeiro state, -that treaties of Commerce, which we yesterday stated to be'on the tapis, have been concluded between Brazil and the French and Austrian Governments. Accounts from Genoa state, that the best anderstimd. ing prevails between Naples and the &genii's of .Dar , bary, and the Empire of Morccct. . There h intelligence from Rome in these Papers to the 25th oh. The health of the• POPE was then much improved, though he had not yet . taken' a public airing. He had just issued an Edict, the object of which is to reduce the land.tas one fourth ; but this reduction is not to extend to the property of individuals living in foreign countries; who are to pay the whole until they return to reside on their own estates. A private letter from Corfu states that a Tartar sent from Constantinople, had taken to the Seraskier RODSCIIID PACUA, dispatches from the Porte, directing him to keep his army on the best footing, and to con tinue the siege of Missolonghi. He was informed at. the lame time that the Captain Pacha, as soon as he had landed the. Egyptian troops in the Morea, would proceed to the Gulf of Lepanto to co-operate with the Army of Titessaly. Itutscitto had published at his head-quarters a Erman of the SULTA N I threatening with the sevetest penalties every Turkish soldier who should quit his corps. This Pacha had also written very im perious letters to the Albanian Chiefs who had quitted the Turkish army to return to their homes,telling them that they were immediately to set out to rejoin him with their troops. The Foreign Ministers resident at Constantinople have transmitted fresh Notes to the Reis Effendi, on the non•fulfilment of the undertaking to evacuate MOl davia and Walachia. It was positively declared, that unless this undertaking was instantly put into execution, the Russian army on . the Pruth would be put into motion. The King of NAPLES distinguished the Saints dey of the Qum by commuting the sentences of some of the Carbonari. Of four individuals who had been con• &roiled to death, one is sentenced to banishment for life; one to imprisonment for life ; the third and fourth, to thirty years imprisonment in the Bagnio of St. Ste fano. Two person. who were condemned, one to nine teen years imprisonment in irons, the other to impri sonment fOr life, are to be banished, the one for nineteen, the other, twenty years. Dutch Papers to the Bth instant reached ns thi► forenoon. It is said thit the Pruuian Government has proposed to the Government of the Grand Duchy of Hasagparmstadt that Messrs. HOWL.* and Runt" Advocate" !he have been airtaay Sept 1,0 Berlin fo• atansinatioN'shall b tried by 4 Prussian Tribunal. The , following is an extract t • HAGUE, Dec. B. We understand thAt the answers of the Government to the remarks of the Sections of the Second Chamber on the Extraordinary Budget of 1826, are already de livered, so that we may shortly expect the Report of the Central Section, and the debate in a public sitting. —With these answers an account has been given 01 the 7,235,000 florins advanced by the Government to Messrs. RAHUSEN, at Amsterdam,, and SAPORTAS, at Antwerp, for corn purchased in 1817, in the time of the scarcity, from which it appears, that on this sum there is a loss of 1,200,000 florins, which has been co vered by the surplus of 1813 and 1816. All the Sections of the Second Chamber met Tester. day. It is thought that the debate on the Extraordi nary Budget for 1826 will take place at the end of this week or the beginning of the next. The First Chamber of the States General is summoned for Monday, the 12th instant. Frankfort Papers to the Sd instant reached us this . forenoon. One of oem quotes from Vienna, an article officially contradicting,•on the authority of the Hos podars of Wallachia and Moldavia, the report, which we always discountenanced, that the Russian troops were about to enter these Principalities. The Austrian Observer says—" For some time past the trade of the Adriatic has been greatly harassed by Tripolitan pirates, and it was said several prizes, among which is a ship under Roman colours, had been made by them. According to accounts from Otranto, one of these pirates has been taken by an English frigate, and brought to Corfu. On examination, it proves to be a Greek ship, entirely manned with Mainotes. —lt may, therefore, be presumed that the others have a similar origin. The naval forces of all the Powers are diligently employed in putting a stop to this daily in• creasing evil, by an active pursuit of these robbers, who generally murder the whole crew of the vessels which they capture.' Accouats from Rome of the 16th ult. state, that for the purpose of enlarging the Quarter of the Jews in that city, abont 60 families of Christian shopkeepers were obliged to abandon their small dwellings adjoining :theJews'quarter. This emigration was effected in the fol lowing manner : In the night of Oct. (26, numerous wag- - g on loads of bricks, mortar, &C. were brought to three entrances to the Jews' quarter, viz, the Piazza della Tar. tatughe, the Piazza Guidea, and the Pescheria, and the next morning, at a very early hour, a great number of bricklayers and labourers came to snake three new gates to the Jews quarter. These new gates enclosed a good many houses of Christian tradesmen, who indeed grumbled, when they found themselves so unexpectedly walled up in the Jews quarter. Numerous detachments of Gens-d'armes, however, preserved order, and the shopkeepers are to be indemnified for their houses by the Jews. Letters received from Mexico, of the 27th of Sept. state ; the retirement trom office of M. ALAMA N, Minister of Foreign Affairs. He has been succeeded by M. GAMACHO, of Xilapa. M. ALAMAN was President of the United Mexican Mining Association ; to which un• dertaking, in consecinence of his quitting office, he was to devote his exclthive attention. The mining opera tions were said to be going on favourably. By the let ters from Veils Cruz, which are dated the 6th of Octor bee, it seems that the attempt is renewed by the blexi. cans, and with better prospects of success than before, to obtain possession of the Castle of St. Juan de IJlloa. The garrison having received from General UAL. BACON, a letter respecting the situation of affairs in Europe, sent a flag of truce, offering to capitulate if time could be allowed them to send to Ilavannah to ascertain the truth cf its statements ; but this was re fused. It will be seen, by the following letter from the Amu York Gazelle of the 16th ult, that an attempt to relieve the Caste had failed : " HATANNAH, 0070111T11 t 9. " An expedition, consisting of three frigates and two transports, having on board 500 men, sailed from this the 20th of last month, for the relief of the Castle of San Juan de Ulloa, at Vera - Chu. When within one hundred and fifty miles of their port . of destina tion, a furious storm separated them, and this morning, the largest frigate, the Sabina, with the Admiral on board, returned dismasted, without having been able to effect a landing at the Castle. One hundred men, a number of Officers, the principal part of the stores, and a Quantity of money for the succour of the Castle, have returned in the Sabina, leaving those almost destitute that arrived there; so that the expedition may be said to be nearly broken up, because it will be some titer before this ship is refitted ; in the meantime, the Mexican force at Sserifielos, near Vera Crux , con . slicing of a SO gun frigate, two brigs, and six ats, may attack, and perhaps capture the Spanish• frigates before they can return here. If the Mexicans had a force suScieut to blockade that Castle, and oblige it to surrender, it would be a good thing for us here. This treasury furnishes 50,000 dollars per month for that fortress,which is certainly not worth keeping, for the idea is pre posterous, that Spain can ever again Teconquer Mexico. The loss of the Castle would probably induce Spain to come to a reconcilia. Non with Mexico for the safety of Cuba, and open a trade agate between Vera Crux and Havarmah.
