The Council, with the exception of the LOAD CHANCELLOR, was attend,d by almost all the efficient Members, sit. The Duke of %sameness. Earl of Lra.stron. Essl Bosuns'*. Earl of Hammen , . Mr. Secretary CAUNING. The Cuaucinass of the Exempts. Loa Viscount Mium , uss. The Right Hon. Wawa& Hussissor. The Right Hon. CZARLiII W. W. Wy, s. Lord Bunn. The result of their deliberations of course cannot be known until it shall have been laid before his MA JESTY, who is expected in town to-morrow, but a general opinion prevails, that an immediate dissolution of Parliament bas been determined on. The LORD CHANCELLOR is not expected in town be fore Sunday. __ The meeting of the Proprietors of Bank Stock which is held this day, has been looked forward to with con siderable interest by a portion of the Public, under a notion that some explanation may be elicited from the Di►ectory (perhaps estorteJ), relative to the affairs of the Bank. The extent of its former issues, and the pretended curtailment of those issues on a recent occa sion ; the extent of its advances to Government on Exchequer Bills ; the amount of treasure now in its coffers, and how acquired, whether by recent pur dhase, and on what terms: in fine, the whole arcana, of that prudent, cautions, 'end even mysterious body, which presides over by far the greatest financial concern in the world, is required, if not expected, this day to be laid open to all Europe. Some of the respectable Journalists of the day insist that the Public have a right to this information, inas. much as the Bank is a privileged Corporation, and they commence an open attack on the Directors, for daring to withhold those and all other particulars from the knowledge of their constituents. That the Directors will have to stand a broadside of queries is probable enough ; but as the result of this crossfire cannot be known before the STAR of this day is in the press, we must content ourselves with observ ing that it is'a little unreasonable to blame the Directors for what is truly the act of the Proprietors, whose will can only be known by the voice of the majority. The Directors do their duty in recommending what they con. ceive to be for the interest of the Corporation at large. namely, a prudent silence on the state of their prosperous affairs.But,if the majority dissent from this recommenda tion, they have no option but to comply with the wish, however injnelleions,of the greatest number ofProprietors. At the same time, we are honestly of opinion, that the circumstance of the Bank being a highly privileged body, and of is affairs being closely interwoven with the financial polity of.thetoeltrys.is tba eery all•otherev wit" noldiaclosasiof lA* affairs made, except to thillatioti at urge through the of its Repreemtatives in Parliament, whenevei seem expedient to that Supreme Council, in its to call for such explanation. The effect of a contrary argument would be, throw on the Board of Directors the heavy responsibi lity of mischievously publishing some of the most deli cate and important points of our national affairs when ever a misguided few among the Proprietors might re quire to have their individual curiosity gratified. In which case we might safely predict that it would soon cease to be a privileged body, and be removed as an intolerable nuisance. German Papers to the 16th instant reached us this forenoon. They contain intelligence from Constanti nople to the 21st ult. by which it would .seem, that as much jealousy exists among the foreign friends of the Greeks, as among their own Chiefs. We no•iced yes terday the silly, impertinent, and vapouring protest of General AOCHE, and a young American, who is, we be lieve, a nephew of General WASHINGTON. The accounts from Constantinople intimate that the proposed assistance of America is conditional, on Greece not entering into a closer connexion with England. Really, when Europe has quietly viewed the revolts of the Colonies in the New World, the United States might have rested content without attempting its inter ference in States, with the policy of which she has no. thing to do. If the insinuation be true, it would appear that the Americans have subscribed their money, and sent their Agent, not to deliver Greece, but to thwart the influence of England. Surely Professor M4Nevlsr, whose hatred to this country we so lately exposed, extends his baneful influence into the Greek Committee in the United States. The German Papers contain some explanation as to the sale of the Swedish men-of-war. It appears that the ships were first offered to Spain, but the Minister of that Power declined the purchase, alleging that an affair of that sort, some years ago, alluding to the purchase of some ships from Russia, rendered it necessary that his Government should be cautious. When, however, they were sold, and likely to be employed against Spain, no doubt appeared as to the condition of the vessels : the Spanish Envoy demanded that the sale should be an nulled, and the Ministers of the Powers of the Holy Alliance made a similar application. To this the Swe dish Government would have acceded, if Spain would indemnify the purchasers for any loss they might sus tain by the bargain being annulled. .This has not yet been done, and the affair remains unsettled. The fol lowing are extracts : CONSTANTINOPLE, AUGUST ste. (BY WAY OP BUCHAREST). We continue to receive from the Archipelago un favourable accounts of the distracted state of Greece• Discord among the chiefs of the insurgents is said to be the order of the day. The English agents exert them selves in vain to induce the Greeks to concord ; and to add to the confusion, an American squadron appeared at Napoli di Romania, and according to a very general, though improbable report, is said to have offered assist. ance to the Greeks, on the condition that they would not enter into any closer connection with England. Ibrahim Pacha's operations appear to be impeded by Commo- dore Hamilton's conduct, at least his lingering so long about Tripolizza cannot be otherwise explained, if the situation of Napoli di Romania is so miserable as it is here described to be. We learn that there have been various discussions with the English Minister, Mr. Turner, and the French Ambassador, Count Guilleminct, with respect to the conduct of Commodore Hamilton and General Roche, in consequence of which General Roche, who is still in the French service, will probably be recalled. This at least is generally asserted here. STOCKHOLM, AUGUST 31. The sale of some ships of war has lately given rise to an exchange of diplomatic notes, by which a trans action that was merely mercantile, has been Made a political matter. The affair is as follows :—Our Go. vetnment, among its efforts to improve all the branclles of the public administration. exerts itself to place the navy on a better footing. To do this, it resolved to sell some ships of war, which the Navy Board thought might be dispensed with. Since 1818, ships have been several times offered to Spain, which, however, did not take advantage of the offer. It was therefore re solved, after several refusals, to sell them by public sale. A mercantile house bought a frigate and a cor vette in the month of May, without any objection hav ing been made. Lately, the Navy Board put up to sale, an old ship of the line, and two old frigates. They were offered to the Spanish Charge d'Affaires, who declined them, adding, " that the purchase which his Government had made of some ships from a neighbouring Power, made it necessary to be very cautious with respect to such offers." After so positive and well-founded a refusal, these ships were put up to public auction, in the usual form. But the same Charge d'Affaires, who had re. cently judged these ships not serviceable for his Go. vernment, thought they might still be serviceable enough, if they went to sea, to do his Government injury. Seconded by the diplomatic agents of the Powers in alliance with Spain, he requested the Swedish Government to annul the sale. Our Go vernment answered,that it had takee every precaution to remove all suspicion of desiring to injure Spain ; that it ' had, for this reason, even reserved in the deed of sale, a ; right to recede from the bargain, giving, however, to' each party aright to require an indemnity from the party receding from the bargain; that it was therefore ready to defer this sale to a I later period, and riaonisce all the advantages which would now, The French Papers of TuestlAy have reached us, but they contain little news. The Mae contains the following : CONSTANTINOPLE, AUGUST 25. The Divan has received the news of the act by which the Greeks place their independence and their future existence under the ex clusive protection of Great Britain. It is also informed of the augmentation of the English naval force in the Gulf of Na poli, and which now amounts to four frigates, two corvettes, and two brigs; of the e arrival of two ot h er frigates and a corvette to reinforce the Fr enc h squadron ; and lastly, of the arrival in the Archipelago of an American squadron, compo.ed of a ship of the line, a frigate, and two corvettes. It is natural that all these circumstances excite many reflections. The Canon Trade appears to be reviving from the great depression it 'his - suffered, by an erensive and dangerous speculation. The Aianchester Journal of Tuesday, in a Second Edition, publishes the follc4ing account of the Cotton MArket of that day : " The production of new dark prints suitable for the approaching season, has, doting the last week, occasioned a considerable degree of animation in the goods' market. Fine good prints of the style best adapted to the prevailing taste, are even scarce to-day, and may continue to be so for a week or two, until the goods now in progress, which are intended for the fall season, shall be finished. The de mand is still principally for the home trade; the foreign demand continues very limited, and a revival cannot be expected till it is known abroad, that prices are returned to that level from which an absurd and mischievous speculation elevated them. That the exports last year were rather greater than the demand 'warranted, few now doubt; and, bad they been continued, there would have been* glut in foreign markets which would have been seriously felt here; but, it is reasonable to suppose, and we believe the best information war rants the supposition, that these markets have been in a considerable degree relieved of surplus stocks during the period in which the high prices here caused exporters to suspend their purchases. We may, therefore, hope, that the return of goods to reasonable prices will occasion a demand, not equal to last year's, but equal to the average demand for the last three years. While an the subject of foreign demand, we may remark, that last year's exports of Cotton Goods, though certainly greater than any former year's, were very much less than has been stated by many, and particularly by Mr. Hus kisson, who said that they amounted to Thirty Millions sterling. We have Wen no documents on which we could venture to presume that they amounted to more than three-fourths of that sum." Agreeing, as we do, with many of the above remarks, we must correct the writer on one point. When Mr. Huse:same (than whom no Gentleman is more guarded in his statements) in his ex cellent, luminous, and Statesman-like speech in the House of Commons, on the 25th of Match last, stated, that the official value of cotton exported, in yarn and manufactured goods, amounted last year to thirty millions sterling, he rather under - rate d than over it. The returns are now before us, and we find that the calcial value of the cotton manufactures exported in the year 1824 was 27,170,1071. and that the exports of cotton yarns amounted to 2,984,3591. or a total of 30,154,4511. It is not a little remarkable, that the excess of exports over Mr. Ilusstsson's estimate is nearly equal to the whole amount of our exports in cotton sixty years ago, (win 1755 they only amounted to 400,0001.!

The Jury, after hearing th e evidence , retired for about a quarter of an hour; and retnrned with a Verdict of Ciuilty against all the defendants except Grange, whom they acquitted. ' The CILUIPMAN sentenced thein to twelve months' hoprisoninsot in the House orCoriection. The ;Trachea were pelted by dm mob. A letter from Malaga of the lst instant, says—" A few days ago, at -the sea-coast nearest •to us, were thrown ashore twenty-four dead bodies, entirely with out cloihing, and bound back to back. Conjecture is busy respetting the cause of this dreadful appearance, there being nothing about the dead bodies which ems furnish the least_ clue to the place they have come from. They are white men, and probably Spaniar.ls, but their fate remains, and most likely will remain, a mystery." Letters of the sth of July have been received from Buenos Ayres, at which time, it being considered cer tain that the Government was determined on the acquisition of Monte Video, a depression had taken place in the public funds. and much alarm was felt by the merchants on account of the influence the struggle was likely to have on their interests. The six per cents. were at 75. -. Letters are in town from Tobago of the 9th of August, and from Demerara to the Ist. By the latter, it appears that two overseers have been poisoned ; and the life of Mr. SIMPSON also attempted by poison. It will be recollected that Mr. SIMPSON was particularly active in suppressing the insur gents.
