ODESSA, JUNE & It is nowitlllgoeks since the conference attanford with the Reis Effendi on the 27th In which the evacuation of Moldavia andWa =lad; but this promise is net yet fulfilled. accounts from lonstantinople of the - still encourage the hope of a speedy evacuation. but AI accounts we have received direct from Kischenow give Ett reason to hope any more than that part of the troops he garrisons will leave the Principalities, as has bees; eon former occasions. It 'cannot, however, excite jsrprie, if, according to the system hitherto pursged by 'Ow skilful Turkish Ministry, it endeavours to delay the evacuation of those provinces as long as possible: rea sons of the highest import most likely have diiir in fluent, here. llowever this be, according to the above mentioned accounts from Constantinople, orders for the entire evacuation were not yet given, but it was reported that an intimation had been given to the nospodars, to request the speedy evacuation, by which it is probable tHepivan seeks to do away the appearance of a conces sion ectorted by Russia, and to give the business thgair of a measure of internal administration. It cannot be denied that such a turn would save the pride of the Parte from humiliation. With respect to Lord Strang.. ford, a report is again spread, that he has obtained leave to retire, s which he has long asked, and that Eng• land will in future have only a Charge d'Affaires at Con stantinople ; but no more is positively known than that be-had asked to be recalled. In the Gulf of Smyrna the Asiatic troops assembled there have massacred imaged the peaceable Greek inhabitants: no troops have anions! from Egypt. At Smyrna the inhabitants were impatiently n l ing news of the operations of the Capitan Pacha. sensation had been excited in that city by the Turkish authorities buying up hard piasters, said to be intended for the ransom of a Paella made prisoner by the Greeks: it was not known where he had been taken. •••••••••••••.•• aIIINIMEMOMMENII SPAIN. Accounts from Madrid, via Bayonne, as well as those in letters direct from the capital, give ; lamentable picture of the state of that country. Spain is said to suffer severely from excessive drought. Processions were made everywhere to implore rain, but the Priests pretended that Goo would sot listen to their prayers, because so many Liberals were unpunished! They even made the DEITY declare the same in a letter found in the band of the celebrated Madonna of Saragossa PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. " mama. rums 21. " I sit down to write to yea after returning from Old Castile, and shall give you some account of what I saw on my journey; I may safely say, that while I was away, I saw nearly as many robbers as honest men, for such is their number and audacity, that they fear not to approach within a very short distance of the capital. The carriage I was in was escorted by two dragoons, who were changed at each stage as regularly as the I post-horses. Notwithstanding all I bad heard, I still , had not formed a sufficiently just idea of the extraordi nary state of barbarism in which the people in the pro vinces seemed to be plunged, nor of the ferocious feel ings with which they are taught to regard those who are supposed to be Negroes; in a word, they seem fully convinced that the crimes of robbery, assassination, rape, &c. are nothing in comparison to that of being infected with liberal ideas."

Although the accounts of the Revenue for the Mid summer Quarter, ending this day, will not be made up unt il a late hoer this evening, yet we are enabled to state that they are highly gratifying, and exhibit decisive evidence of the flourishing state of the commerce and finances of the country. The amount of the Customs for the half year ending the Sib of Ju1y,1824, is nearly £4,192,000, and that of the corresponding half year in 1823, was £4,215,000. The Customs for the Quarter ending this day amount to nearly £2,000,000. while those of the corresponding Quarter last year were .£2,226,000. Front these details, for the correctness of which we can vouch, it will be seen that there is an apparent de- Aeienttyin the Revenue of about £23,000 or £24,000 in the half►ys.r, and of upwards of £96,000 in the Quar ter j ust ended. We s ay apparent deficiency, for, in fact, there is a real and a very great increase in the Duties collected during the above period, particularly in the Midsummer Quarters the actual increase of the Cus toms on the half-year being above 1)500;000, and in the Quarter Jett terminated, about 0550,000. The apparent deficiency arises from tbe remission, on the part of Government, of Taxes, and the enormous re payment of Silk Ditties on the stock in hand, a measure as beneficial to the trade ifs it was liberal on the part of Como for the Charter awing Sib of July, Amount et henry repaid to die Heidien of raw end fi re d Silk, Wog the stock on hand at the period et the remission at the tall Dudes, the whale of which has hews repaid out of the Rem ise ot the ninon Quinn; sheet • - - Repeal of Dodo on Silk.

This is indeed a cheering prospect, and :hews that this country,under the able Administration by which its energies art directed ) is not only rapidly recovering from the expenses of a war of unexampled vigour and duration ) but that our resources are improving, and tmsr commerce extending In the most astonishing manner: Nor is it less gratifying to find that the improvement of the Revenue is in such articles as indicate increasing comfort among the people, and the extension of our in ternal trade and manufactures. The principal articles on which there is an increase in the Cnstoms, during the Midsummer Quarter, are Baltic timber ) which is princi pally used in building, wines, cotton, wool, seeds, &c. --ao-morrow we shall be enabled to give the Official Returns of the whole of the Revenue, of which we now anticipate a very important branch, and feel happy in congratulating the country on the cheering prospects which the continuance of peace and the wise policy of his MAJESTY and his Ministers ate continually presenting. Application has for some tome past been made to the British Government by the Court of Lisbon, for some assistance in order to enable his MAJESTY to maintain his authority: but no decisive answer has as yet been given on the part of our Ministers. The force required was 6,000 men. Letters have been received in the City from Lima, to the Ist of March, which state that City to be again in possession of the Spanish forces. An attack had been made on Callao, a few days befcre, by Admiral Glum Several vessels of war, among which was a frigate and privateer, had fallen into the hands of the Royalists. All was anarchy and confusion at the above date, and great fears were entertained for British property. By the arrival of the Countess of Chichester packet , at Falmouth, from Buenos Ayres, which place she left on the 28th of April, we hive received intelligence of a late date from South America. In another column we have inserted a copy of the regulations for the packets sailing between this country and Buenos Ayres, which ate calculated to expedite the intercourse between the two countries; and it will be seen that the rate of i postage has been reduced one-third. The Buenos Ayres Papers contain the letter of intro- duction written by the Right Honourable Geonot CAN NING to the Buenos Ayres Government, which Mr. PARIbli, our Consul-General, presented. From the ob servations in these Papers it will be seen, that whatever may be said at home about formally recognising the in dependence of the South American States, the Govern ment of one of them at least, that of Buenos Ayres, is fully satisfied with what we have ;already done. This letter, it is said, " is the first official document from Europe in which the Government of the country is ad dressed in a direct manner, and conformably to the cha racter which the country has been endeavouring for fifteen years to acquire." The Paper of the 14th contains the news of the ar rival of tne Spanish ships Asia and Aquiles in the Pa cific. An express was immediately dispatched to Chili and Peru, with all the particulars that had been learned respecting those vessels, and the direction they appeared to take. It is said that M. Fuses, Charge d'Affaires from Co lombia, is authorized to negociate at Buenos Ayres a loan of 300,000 to 500,000 piastres, for the use of Peru, under the guarantee of General BOLIVA R, either with the Government, with the Bank, or the merchants se parately.—These Papers contain the account of the in surrection of the garrison of Callao, the declaration of General OLA'sETA in favour of the Royalists, dated Potosi, February 21. It appears by letters from Lima, via Panama, that the Negro Regiment of the Rio de la Plata, about six or seven hundred strong, to whom ten months arrears of pay were owing, mutinied in the night between the 3d and 4th of February, imprisoned their Officers, inclu ding General ALVARADO, and took possession of the fortress. It further appears, that about the 10th of the same month, in conjunction with about thirty Spanish Royalist Officers, who were prisoners in the Castle, and who had seduced the Blacks, they gave up the fortress, to the Royalists, striking the Independent, and hoisting the Spanish flag in its place. On the 18th Admiral Gums strived with his squa dron off Callao, and blockaded the harbour. These events, as may naturally be supposed, produced the greatest consternation and alarm among the Inde pendents its Lima. OA or about the 16th of February troops, and of Callao WA, Royalists, Manifest. On the frth of February the Pliebts. hall it impos sible to hold Lima any longer, evacuated the city, and retired on Patavilca, between Lima and Treadlo. On the 29th, a Royal force, about 1000 strong, entered the city from Pisco, under the command, as was supposed, of General Routs. On the 15th of Fekittary, an Of f icer had arrived at Lima, from Bouvaa's head-quarters :J he brought intelligence that a body of troops had ar• rived at Huancha, from Guayaquil, being part of a re inforcement of 2000 men from Colombia. A letter horn Ben Jago di Chili, of 12th March, mentioning this mutiny of the garrison at Callao, says,, " The Liberator remained at Patavilia, recovering from a serions illness, which attacked him in January. The Colombian force was 9,500 men, of all arms ; the Peru vians at Truzillo, under La Mar, a little more than 3000, and was to be doubled. More Colombian troops were expected ; but it was not known when the Liberator would take the field." The enemy seemed to have :—Cantarae, at Tauja, 4,500; Valdez, at Arequipa, 4,000; Laserna, at Cuzco, SOO ; Olaneta, 2,000; and at Ica, 1,600."

She brings adviees from Pernambuco up to the 96th of May yhe port remained blockaded at that period. A Brazilian shii) of war had arrived on the 20th, having sailed from Rio de Janeiro on the 12th. It appears that the new Governor appointed by the EMPSIOR for Pernambuco had been threatened by the inhabitants with insult, and he in consequence durst not act. CA SIVA Lio, the reign ing Governor, had intimated his desire to vacate his office provided the people requested it; but this was considered finesse. The Captain of a Liverpool veisel landed at Pernambuco on the night of the 25dt of May. .and he states that Captain TAYLOR, the Commander of the blockading squadron, bad informed the vinous vessels lying off Pernambuco, that they had better re.; main there for a few days, as he was of opinion the blockade would soots be broken up. From this it was inferred that there was an understanding between CA R.• VALLO and the Commander. An armament which had been fitting out at Rio had been countermanded. Advices have been received from Trinidad to the 22.1 of May. The Governor, Sir R. WOODFORD, had refused to receive the deputation to present the petition of the " persons styling themselves the free inhabitants Poi the colony," praying him to stay the promulgation of the Order in Council. The meeting had, he said, been convened without his sanction, and consequently he could not receive the petition in any other manner than through his Secretary. The Governor, on the pe. tition being brought before him, through the medium of his Secretary, declared that he could not comply with the request of the coloni.ts b and that . the Order in Council must be carried into effect.

She appeared to be the Dawson, of Aberdeen." Some of the Evening Papers of Saturday stated that the King of FRANCS was dangerously ill. For the last three or four years this rumour has been circulated , about once a fortnight, and we heard it on Saturday; but as we fhund his MAntsTY had been transacting bu siness with his Minister, 14., de irtu.n.r, for an hour and a half, we did not think it necessary . to give our Readers the absurd rumours of the Stock• Exchange. The Etoile of yesterday states, that on Saturday, the very day that some of the London Newspapers reduce his MAJESTY to a hopeless condition, he was transacting business as usual with the President of the Council.
