A sale of Bee tbossand Exchequer Bills took place this morning, by the government Broker, which has reduced that article ten per cent. from 63 to 53; but it is not believed ;hat this sale was on ammo of °outmost. Consols opened this morning at 871, but sow after receded to 87i for the Account, and at present may be quoted at 871 6.

It gives, however, a harrowing picture of the devastating effects occasioned by the rising of the wa ters its Several provinces of the Austrian empire,'• The capital too, which bas,not been exempt from this scourge, has experienced theiZaiiiiiit4 evil of a variable tem perament, the sticilf oppressive . heat and intense cold succeeding one another rapidly. Croatia, Carinthia. .Cainkiia, Styria, and the Tyrol, were st o at subject to the 'MOW violent rains•; and, in several places, particularly Those situated in the vicinity of the mountains, the ground has been so softened, that_ vineyards and houses :•bare sunk into it, and been totally destroyed. The fivers have everywhere overflowed their banks. and form vast lakes, extending one and even two leagues oil each side of their usual bed. The communications are almost wholly interrupted, and the inhabitants still reside in the upper parts of their houses. In the mean time, the hopes of an ample harvest, which had been previously cherished, are turned to bitterness; and at the date of the last accounts there was no indication that the evil would soon termina.e. We al.o received this •morning Frankfort Papers to the 3.1 instant, but they throw as little light as the ormer, upon the single question, which now engrosses the attention of the more enlightened as well as the more selfish classes of continental politicians—we mean of course, the affairs of Greece. We have news through this channel from Berlin, to the 29. h ult. but it guards silence upon this interesting subject, from which it would be hazardous, and indeed unjust, to infer that the Prussian Court is a lukewarm witness of the measures taken in concert by England, Russia, and France, for the pacification of Greece. Prussia, including her princes, nobles, and prople, have displayed a very active sympathy in favour of the struggling Greeks ; and if her standard shall not flame in the van of their deli verers, it is because she has no means, from her want of maritime conveyance, of transpdrting it thither. In the meantime, the hour, which &hall rescue that people from their present afflictions and from the fear of a more cruel visitation, is rapidly approaching. In telligence of the actual sailing of the Russian fleet, was received this morning via Paris, basing been conveyed to that capital by M. Divorv, Secretary of the Russian Embassy to that Court, and who had travelled en courier from St. Petersburgh. We may therefore expect to hear of its immediate arrival in the Channel, unless it prefer a more northerly course for the purpose of saving time. Before it can reach its destination, the British fleet in the Mediterranean will be carried to its full complement; and probably the Freich will also have completed their preparations before that time. To say that the Turks have any means of resisting such a mass of force, would betray gross ignorance, as any one of the fleets would suffice to sweep them from the seas ; if they resist, it will be a passive resistance, and of that description, which can only eat into their own vitals, without injuring the Allies, or the objects of their magnanimous protection, in the mess distant degree. However, they seem deter.. pitied not to give up their prey, till they are compelled to ; and the reasons they assign for their conduct, are as specious as if they had attended a course of lectures in t he school of the Holy Alliance. In fact they are capied 'abating from sonic of the State Papers of that 11; 4 • !

Bat the edge of ilmic sophistries will prove as unavailing as the edge of their scimitars in this instance; .and, fur once at least, the world will see the greatest Powers in the world, confederated in the cause of justice and humanity, and not for purposes of violence. After ages will gratefully speak of this as another of the glorious characteristics of the reign of Gaoarts the Fourth ; and, distinguished as it is by the noblest iriumphs, it will receive new lustre from having re called Greece, after twenty centuries of moral extinc tion, to a new existence, With a new life, virtues of which there is no trate now will make , their appear ance; and the free Greek will be as different from the enslaved Greek. as light i*from darkness. They will then, by the accession of strength they will bring into the Great European Family, teward their . powerful 'benefactors; whereas, if they were to be consigned to Turkish discipline till they were fit to set up for them selves, their cruel, degrading, and abject state of de• pendence, would be the badge of the nation from age to age, every new generation being more vicious than its predecessor. Papers have been received from Mexico to the 10th, and from Vera Crux t 3 the 13th of May. The reiult of the proposition for withholding public employments from Spa-lards until the Court of Madrid shall recog nize the Republic if Mexico, is not given in these pa• plus; but it is probable that it would be carried. The subject was debated in the Senate on the 24th and 25th of April, when some of the Sen A tors spoke in favour of the measure,with certain modifications, and a few opposed it altogether. The majority, however, supported it in the form in which it had been sent up by the Chamber of Deputies. The discussion of a new tariff and Cu.tom house regulations had chiefly occupied the Chamber of Deputies. There had been introduced the project of a law for prohibiting the founding of benefices, majorats. And certain other ecclejastical and civil institutions; and also for preventing convents, congregations, and fraternities, from receiving testamentary bequests. The private letters received yesterday from Constan tinople communicate some additional particulars to those given in the Frankf art papers respecting the declaration delivered by the Reis Effendi to the Mi nisters of the Allied Powers, in answer to the requi. sition for the pacification of Greece. The tone as .sumed in it is deprecating, though firm, but has no thing of an assuming or ins , •lent character. and is said to prose the Ministers of the Divan to be, on the whole, great adepts in the arts of diplomacy. The declaration begins by stating that the requisitions made are not within the power of the Sultan to comply with, since he has been placed by Heaven on the throne of that empire, and that he is forbidden by . its funda mental laws to yield up or to alter the constitution of any . portion of it; that the Greeks, as a nation, on whose 'behalf the interference of the Allied Sove. r reizns ban been resorted to, no where exist ; that ismiltisinies lir Greeks reside in various parts of the Turkiili 'ffiiminions, who practise, without molest* don, the religion they profess, who are in all respects goo! subjects, and who acknowledge the sway of the Government to be a mild and paternal one; that the• pe pie of the Morea, who pass under the name of Greeks, and whom the Turkish arms are now en gaged in putting down, are the mixed refuse of various nations, incapable of government and good order, or of combining for any object beyond that of plunder; and, 'hi effect, no better than a band of robbers. After touch ing; on vat ious other topics, for the most part conceived ,in a similar spirit, the declaration concludes n i.h an appeal to the deciiions of the Congress of Verona, in which a virtual guarantee was given for the integrity of the existing state of Europe. and an express de claration that the Powers would not interfere in the affairs of Greece. Dispatches were received on Sunday at the Colonial Department. from Lieutenant• General Sir H. TURNER, K.C.B. and K.C.H. at Bermuda. The Gibraltar Papers and Letters to the 18th Int. state, several French merchantmen have been captured by the Algerines; the squadron destined to blockade Algiers had been spoken with at sea. The general opi nion at the English garrison was, that the French fleet would be worsted if they attempted to batter the Mole, which is reported to be made immensely strong. Demerara Papers, to the 10th of !dry, arrivei in town yesterday. They do not contain any information of importance, either public or private. Letters from Danis'', of the 29th Jane, state, that forty salt of vessels bad arrived there for freight; but, in coos,- ' quence of the Corn Bill having been last in the Meuse of Loris, the orders received there had been cancelled, Oct any freights oiler. lag.

The branches of the Bank of England have, it is no derstood, all reduced the rate of discount to 4 per cent. as a necessary consequence of the course adopted by the parent establishment. Indeed, that seems to have been the only chance of making the business carried on by I them at all productive. The local batiks, however, who do not like to break up old connections, seem deter mined to make sacrifices to secure them, and to enter into an active competition with the bran ch banks. At Manchester, on Saturday, a meeting was held of the town bankers and others from the surrounding district, at which it was resolved, that the future rate of dis count accommodation to their friends should be 3 per cent. only. Tat QUARTERLY DlVlDENDS.—Yesterday morning the Dividend, on Three per Cent.

Great numbers were collected long before the hour appointed for the commencement of business; and up to the middle of the day a scene of much activity was presented in all the offices connected with the payment of dividends.

Some circumstances • a the-very first profes sional act which Mr. Scott was called on to peeform that had a tendency in directing his future success. It was the first or second day after he had been called to the bar, and he'vras slowly leaving the court, wheu a smart dapper person,with a hag dangling behind him, overtook Mr. Scott. " I beg your, pardon, Sir, said be.' hesita tingly and politely,—" Mr. Scott, I believe?"' The barrister bowed profoundly. - " I have been looking for you, Sir; you can do this as well as the best of them; I want you to sign this; aod he pulled out a paper which required, as a matter of form only, the signature of a barrister, who was entitled to the fee of 12411-a•guinea for his share of the ceremony. The counsel bowed himself almost to the groutid, and seizing a pen, indited " John Scott" with greater pleasure than he bad ever before wrote his name in his life. " Beautifully written —clear open hand—it would be well if we could get the profession to write like th.t, Mr. Scott. Some of them make such an aborninble scratch of it—we have clerks oa purpose to decipher." And all the time the man was fumbling for his fee. He thrust his right hand into his pocket, his left into the other, and he looked on the ground with an air of great disappointment. " I must h.ve left my purse in the coffee--oom it is only over the way. I beg you may not stir -trd my return." And had the green-horn of the law complied with this advice, he might have remained on the spot till this hour ; " for never since," has Lord Eldon been heard to say, " have I laid my eyes on the same man. But the event had its use. I promise you I took .care ever afterwards to let these gentry know that when they brought their briefs to me, they should not leave their purses in coffee-rooms„" Thursday ad Aggregate Meeting of the Irish Roman Catholics was held in Dublin, Lord !Cutter; in the Chair, for the purpose of pe• itioning Parliament for a repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts, and all other laws that aggrieve the Protestants of England.

We may, however, be expected to stare, that the enamoured adventurer and the fair fugitive were neither of them natives of the city, though both, we believe, were above the middle class of society. The facts ' as deta i led to us, were briefly these i—The lover bad heard at his far distant home, that the object of his most tender affections had been sent to York, with a view of taking op there a hone residence. He hastened to Old Ebor, and having engaged lodgings there foe a abort time, ingeniously contrived to commence a secret cor respondence with the Lady, which ultimately coded in an elopement. The star of the morning beamed brightly upon the terreti of the mansion In which the fair one traded, and as the clock struck two, the hero of our story stepped out of a pat. chaise , seer the outer wall of the residence—be threw a scaling ladder over it, and the Lady, faithful as they always ere to their engagements, with trembling steps, ascended; All was silent — all was well, till, in her descent, her fears for safety overpowered her judgment, end she uttered a dreadful shriek. which alarmed the house, and might have proved fatal to the enterprise.
