I c - . held out ei emancipation to Greece might still in the . end be realized. 2. The CHAIR N wished' to call the attentidn of the (h bira ii Mien to e st.. ' The chief cause of that loan ski being ill applie , was the entire want of a proper con trol over it at first. Me objected to the sum of 28,0001. of that loan being placed in the hands of Messrs. Rica& and Ellice. He deprecated the inattention which had been paid to the intimations of the Greek Committee, who had recommended the use of steam vessels and other means of defence, which would have carried on the war effec- , tively. In the other points of mismanagement, he re gretted that the Calcutta subscription had been placed in the hands of the contractors for the second loan. He had requested Mr. Alexander not to place the money in the hands of the seconcl contractors without a proper control ; for, to do so, was only like throwing , it into the sea. The mismanagement of the second loan had arisen from a want of proper control. Another error arose from Mr. Ricardo insisting that he was a mere banker, and conducting himself towards the Greeks as if he had been acting with one of the old Settlements of Europe ; he had, however, ultimately been compelled to adopt the course which had been' at first recom mended. The first loan had been contracted for at 59, the second at 5.51 t. thereby occasioning a difference of upwards of 70,0001. ; three years interest had been reserved on the first, but only one on the second. On the first loan only the customary commission was allowed, en the second loan the Contractors made purchases, and audited their own accounts There was a wide difference between the first and second loans; on the second loan, without including the usual broker age, the Ricardos had the interest upon all the cash in their hands, and a commission upon every sale. By the first loan, the money was left in the hands of the Con tractors ; by the second, Mr. Ricardo gave 7,0001. up to the Deputies, which was setting up their private interest in opposition to their duties. In the second loan no person had been held responsible. He severely censured the conduct of Mr. Ricardo, and observed that he had been far from giving satisfaction. When he wax called upon respecting the loan, he appeared in the dress of a merchant, and said, " Oh dear, Sir, I'm only your broker ;" but if he was attacked upon the naval armament, he instantly appeared clad in armour, and knocked his assailant down with a truncheon of authority. He, however, begged to acquit Mr. Ricardo of intending to injure the cause. In acting obstinately he bad only erred in judg ment, for he (the Chairman) believed him to be as honourable a man as any in London. With regard to the naval armament as proposed, nothing could be better conceived than its plan—nothing worse than its execution. Surely nothing could have been more injudicious, when the Greeks were at their last gasp, than to send a French Colonel of Dragoons from this maritime place to America. The American ship hnilder had been unable to complete his contract. 160,0001. was to be given for, the two vessels he had before mentioned, at a time when Messrs. Goldsmid offered two excellent Swedish vessels for 47,0001. and 100,0001. was thus to be thrown into the sea. This failure of obtaining the ships arose out of the mania of expetimentalists. He disagreed with some of his friends as to the publicity to be given to these circumstances, as he was of opinion that such a course as had been pursued was most desirable whilst this Go vernment pursued its present principles of neutrality, though he was far from thinking that Mr. Canning and the rest of his Majesty's Ministers did not wish well to the cause of Greece from the bottom of their hearts.— Amongst other evils which tended to injure the cause, wis the existence of only one Paper, a Government Gazette, in the Islands of Greece. Nothing would do I snore for the Greek cause than the Establishment of a free press in that country. He concluded by attributing 1 the existing difficulties to the misapplication of the funds. and he hoped the Resolutions he should have to submit would meet with the approbation of the Meeting, though they might not be carried into effect. The Resolutions were as follow : Ist—That the Greek Committee be requested to reassemble; and that application be made to such Committee to take into consi deration the necessity to dispatch a naval armament to Greece, and to adopt measures calculated to secure the defence of Athens, Napoli di Romania, and Hydra. 2d—That in order to provide for the salvation of Greece, to raise the value of Greek Scrip, and to secure the future payntent thereon, it is desirable that Bond-holders should lend to the Greek Govern ment one half of the next dividend, amounting to 23,0004 3d—That the Greek Committee be solicited to continue every exertion to obtain subscriptions in England, in British India, and from the Foreign Committees. 4th—That the funds obtained for Greece, and the appropriation of them, be placed under the absolute command of five persons, who shall be named by the Bond-owners. Mr. RosERTSON was willing to receive the Report, though he had been no party at all to the getting of it up. He had explessed his opinion at the last meeting, that at the meeting which was this day held, it would be apparent to whom the blame was justly due; but he regretted to say, the meeting was yet uninformed upon the subject. He bad preferred resigning his seat among the Committee, to lending himself to a Report to the Bond-holders which should noir be deemed satisfactory. It was surprising, that the Com nsittee should fear publicity. If blame was to be at tached to any party, it was certainly to those high sta tioned patriots, who had undertaken what they could not perform. [Mr. Robertson here read several long letters between the Greek Deputies and some Members of the original Committee, mutually recriminating each other, and in which it appeared that the non success of Lord Cochrane's expedition was attributed to the failure of Mr. Galloway's machinery]. He considered that if the interest of Greece was effec tually to be auended to, it could not be done but by Gentlemen who had time to devote to it. He agreed with the Chairman, that Mr. Ricardo had done nothing criminal, having only undertaken mote than he could well do. He thought, in opposition to what had been frequently said before, that Lord Cochrane could not return from the expedition with honour• to himself; he had received the Greek money, and his fame and cha racter were at stake. It was not for him to urge as a reason the non-success of the steam-boats. With re spect to the Greeks, they appeared in the dark as much as ourselves ; for a Commission had come over to this country (directed to Sir F. Burdett, Spaniolacki, and others), for the sole purpose of enquiring into their own accounts. The proceedings at home had been. equally silly. It was monstrous to send a host of Ca valry Officers to fit out an American vessel. We might with equal propriety have sent a batch of jolly sailors to regulate a Regiment of Dragoons—(Loud laughter), • He meant no disrespect to the Hon. Mr. Cochrane, but he sincerely wished that he had the same spirit and enterpi ize as his brother. Mr. MERLE inquired what had been done with the muskets and other implements of warfare, which bilk' LONDON. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1826. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Londbn Papers of this morning, copying from those of Hamburgh, state that a signal victory had been obtained, off Carabournon, by the Greeks, over the , Turkish fleet, and that the latter had been -obliged to retreat towards Smyrna. Unfortunately for the cause, and the friends of Greece, the above statement is al• together incorrect, as appears by the following letter received by a most respectable Gentleman in the City, from his friend at Smyrna. EXTRACT OF A LETTRR FROM SMYRNA, lIRP-r. K We cannot learn, with any degree of certainty, where Lord Cochrane is; in the meantime the Turkish and Greek fleets have had some skirmishing between Myteleneand Cape Carabournon on Sunday and Mon , clay list, in which two Greek brulots, (some accounts say three) were destroyed, without doing any mischief to the Turkish ships, and four Greek brigs of war were sank, and all the rest were so much ihjuretras to escape tolpsint with difficulty. The Captain Pacha was not presene—he remains with a frigate at Fogia. • " Piracies are still carried on ; the Enchantress, an English vessel, is arrived this morning in ballast, but robbed of all the ship's stores, &c. " We regret to state, that in consequence of plague, the fruit ships will be obliged to wait a considerable time, or depart with foul Bills of Health." An Express from Vienna, received at Berlin on the 18th, repeats, that on the 19th a report prevailed, that all differences between Russia and the Porte had been adjusted. If our readers will take the trouble to recur to our Journal of the 6th inst. they will find it there stated, on no common authority, that private letters from most respectable sources asserted, positively, that there was no likelihood of any rupture between the Turks and Russians at present. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 17th, and other German Papers, were received this morning. The following are extracts : ROME, SMIRKS= 7. By an edict of his Eminence the Cardinal High Chamberlain, it is ordered, that whoever shall publish in the Papal States, by means of the Press or any kind of engraving, works of science, literature, or art, of which he is the author, shall have the property of them for the term of his natural life, and may transmit it to his heirs for the space of 12 years, in the performance of certain conditions which are prescribed. This gracious regulation of the Government bas been received with transport and gratitude by all the literati and artists. been sent out to the Greeks, and which had been refused by them on superstitious grounds? He readthe other day an account of a small piece of cannon, which was of great service in keeping the Turks at a distance, and 'if such bad been tote effect of a small piece, surely much good alight be One with larger. If the Greeks were but well assisted, he was confident they would rally and make theif.cause successful.—(Applause). Mr. BOWRING would only trouble the meeting with an observation upon what had fallen from Gentlemen as to publicity. He wished publicity throughout, and sincerely hoped that by its means, in a very short time, the burthen would be thrown upon the right shoulders. He did not blame the Greek Committee, for he thought that they had difficulties to contend with which were far from being advantageous to themselves ; and he regretted they should have been subject to the vitupera tions which had assailed them. He defended Mr. J. Smith from the imputations which had been thrown upon him, of having been instrumental in adding the name of General Lallemande to the Commit tee. The accusation was false in Coto, Mr. Smith having had nothing to do with it. He also advo cated the conduce. of the Greek Committees. They had sat day after day, and month after month, with an anxious solicitude for the welfare of the cause ; and in their official capacity had dispatched upwards of 4000 letters upon the subject, and be felt it but due to the Committee (composed of men of high integrity and talent) to say that they would be ready to come forward at any time to meet accusations that might be brought against them. • A Bond-owner said, he could not but express his surprise that there should be found men to appropriate to themselves 64,0001. out of a loan raised for the pur pose of protecting a suffering people, from the galling yoke of oppression and tyranny. One naturally would have thought that humanity had been the first and only consideration. Colonel Joints defended the conduct of the Com mittee, and he was sure the inexpeiience of the Hon. Bond-owner, had led him into an error. He had sat in the Committee composed of the first Noblemen in the land, (not that he saw any distinction between a treble and another man ; he looked at the intellect and in tegrity of the party,) and among the Committee were to be found men of the very first integrity. There was no distinction as to rank, for they had among them soldiers, sailors, lawyers, &c. all congregating for the general good. The death of Lord Byron had certainly thrown them into confusion, and the loss of his valuable services had been deeply felt. He agreed with Mr. Bowing in acquitting Mr. T. Smith of being ac quainted with the appointment of General Lallemande, that person certainly had the talents of a soldier, but a French Officer was not the person to fit out ships. A Bond-owner said, he attended the Meeting for the purpose of ascertaining how the account stood between the Bond-owners and the Greek Government, and to which he wished the Meeting had confined itself, in , stead of entering into political strictures. He did not come forward to recriminate, but he thought the sub• ject of inquiry ought to be pushed still farther than it had been. After some observations from Mr. Wm. Cush, who, u a num ber of the Stock Exchange, defended that body from some asper sions which had been thrown upon theirjoiling in the early part of the Meeting, it was moved that the Report be received. A Bond-owner suggested that it should be printed and circulated. The Cuarasims said, there were no funds for the purpose; and the only channel through which its pur port would be known, was through the public papers. He should be happy, however, if a subscription could be raised for the purpose. Mr. Manx suggested, that as the present was but a very thin Meeting, any further debate should be ad journed; in the interim, he was confident, there was not a Newspaper but would willingly aisist so interest ing a cause. Ultimately, after some further remarks from Mr. &tering, Mr. Clark, Mr. Robertson, 'Colonel hoes, and the Chairman, the THE EVENING STAR. ODESSA. OcTuxtla 3. His Majesty the Emperor will remain at Moscow till the Bth of October. This delay is considered as a con sequence of the important negociations now pending; TRIESTE, Orroats IL A Captain of a ship who arrived yesterday from Tschesme, relates that on the 11th September there was a pretty :hails action between Carambourun and Mity lene, between the Turkish and Greek fleets, from which the former retreated, with great damage, to Mitylene. The Greeks had set fire to the stern of the Admiral's ship, but the Turks succeeded in extinguishing the flames. The Greeks lost four of their fire ships on this occasion. The same Captain learnt it Tschesme, that the Perseverance steam-boat, had arrived at Napoli di Romania to be fitted out and sent to join the fleet with all possible dispatch. Off Cerigo he met a Greek ship of war, the Captain of which told him that Ibra him *as reported to have set fire to Tripolizza, and to have retreated with his troops to Modon. Other Cap tains, who have arrived to day from Calamata and Zante, give the same account, with various additions. Ibrahim is said to have been induced to retreat, partly by the great losses which he suffered in his fruitless attacks of the Mainotes, partly by the harassing attacks of the Greeks under Nicetos, Colocotroni, &c. who hover about; and lastly, by want of provisions. These Cap• tams also repeat the news which has so often been given, but is yet unconfirmed, of the raising of the siege of Athens; and of a revolt said to have broken out in Upper Egypt. It is hardly necessary to add, that all these statements are much in need of confirmation. American Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, but their contents are of little interest. One of them, dated the 25th of September, says, aWe have perused several letters from Norfolk, dated on Thursday last, the 21st instant, all of which concur in the belief that the yellow fever now exists in that Borough to a considerable extent ; and all express their opinion that the Board of Health has not acted in such a manner as to secure the confi dence of the citizens." HAVANNAH, Szreruna 2., Business for these last few days has been brisk. The Spanish squadron sailed on the 27th ult. its destination is said to be Porto Rico and Jamaica, and ukimately Vera Crux; but I fancy they will cruise about until nearly out of provisions. The troops and the Navy eat up an this Island produces, and, at the end of the year, the Treasury will be pennyless. A s as have lately been frequent. VROX • BALMS:M PAPER, DATED IMPTIMIRR 18. We published yesterday as extract of a letter, mentioning the prompt manner in which the Government of Colombia bad ho noured the bills drawn by the Consul-General of New York, to a large amount. We are informed that two hundred thousand dollars reached Carthagena on the 28th of July, in part of payment of the Ells. There is no further intelligence from Portugal, where the enemies of the Constitutional Charter are busily at work. We stated yesterday that one regiment in the Algirites had revolted; but the other regiments and the militia remained staunch, and wee marching to attack the deluded revolters, with every psospect of speedily crushing the insurrection. The disturbances created by the Marquis of Taal's' in Tras-os- Moles, were of little modient. lie has fled into Spain, with his family, and with very few followers. The Marquis de Assawris, who arrived at Algae's, from Gibraltar, bad succeeded in seducing the 14th regiment to join him, &shrift the Infant Don Moon King of Portugal, was completely sur rounded by the 4th regiment of Cassadores. part of an artil lery regiment and militia, who had been firm to the Constitutional - Government of the Emperor Don Pans* ; and from the :headset in which the rebels were placed, it was impossible they could make their escape. Dispatches are stated to have been received at Lisbon, from Madrid, stating that the Spanish Government bad acceded to the arrangements between the two countries, and had come to an arrangement respecting runaway troops. It is added, that the Con stitutional system had nothing now to fear from Spain, and there was not a doubt of its being permanently established. The Etaik of Sunday and the Journal des Debats have reached us. The former, after repeating in a most positive manner that the Russian Ultimatum has been accepted, gives both important and gratifying intelligence from Greece. It states that lIIMAHIN PALIIIA had quitted .I'ripolizza after setting it ea fire, and retreating to Mudon, with an his troops, having been reduced to that necessity by the succession of losses which be had experienced in his unsuccessful attacks upon the Mainmes ' and in his daily skirmishes with the Greeks. It is also said that he was in want of provisions, and that a rebellion had broken out in Upper Egypt, which might compel his father to meal him, or, at all events, would prevent him from sending reinforcements, without which it would be Impossible for Isaanuc to resume the offensive. If these state ments be correct to their full extent, and Ranscino PACHA be unable to recross the passes of Thermopylae and to renew the war in Attica, Greece may still hope to achieve her own independence, without swing any thing to the tardy interference and frigid protec tion of Christian Monarchs. The intelligence from Constantinople in these Papers comes down to the 30th of September. Alt was tranquil, but it was the tranquillity of terror, not of peace. Executions were taking rplace daily, anti as it was no longer Janissaries or ni4itatv then, int( private individuals, and even women, who were sacrificed to the fears of the SULTAN; those executions were witnessed wi,h increas ing disgust by the people. The drowning of females in broad day, for no other offence than that of having discoursed about the event s of the times had excited general horror. A Proclamation had been issued by the SUBLIMIS Possess to its Ottoman subjects against sedi tious conversations, which was the cause, or at least the e xcuse , f or all the cruelties committed.

A good deal of business has been done for time, but the Money market is languid. In the Foreign Market South American remains steady, and not much doing at present. The following is from a French Paper received this morning :—" It is known that Count Poem DI Bosco, the Rusoian Ambassador, received within these two days an Extraordinary Courier from Moscow, and it is suspected that this Courier does not bring favourable accounts in regard to the war with the PerNiaus. It appears that the result of the first commencement of hostilities, was not so advantageous to the Russians as repotted : and if we are well informed, at the departure of the last dispatches it was believed at St. Petersburgh, that Tiflis was taken by the Persians" It is said Lord Bitassroan sets off to-morrow for Portugal.

WILIS AND THE SUDBURY ELECTORS. Yesterday evening a Meeting of the Elector► of Sudbury was held at the Angel and Crown, Whitechapel, fur the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of opposing the return of Mr. Wilke to Parliament for that Borough, as he w,s, in their opirdon, an unfit and improper person to act as their representative. Upwards of sixty persons were present.
