INDIA. The following circumstances afford a gratify' ; view of the state of public credit at Calcutta in May last :—The Company's Six per Cent. Paper of 1811- 1812 was at a high premium, fluctuating from six to nine per cent. The paper of later years bore a pras e mium of from twelve to fourteen per cent. It w then understood that Government meant to open a Transfer Loan fer all the paper of 1811-12; either reducing the rate of interest+ or giving no option to the holders of havinj the interest paid by bills on England, or, at all events, lowering the favourable rate of exchange for such interest. This expectation. as was natural , produced much stock speculation; the mercantile community were satisfied that in the then state of the money market , any such measure would be very practicable; and it was certain to af ford a considerable relief to the state of the finances. Whilst these ideas were afloat in the public mind, the two following notifications appeared: " Fort William, Territorial Department, May 1, 1821. Nodce is hereby given, that of the Promissory New at this Government, d ate the 50th of June, 1811, 8111 k standing on the General rof the Register Debt of Hi Presidency, Nos. 1 to 10,0011 inclusive, win be discharged at the General Treasury, on Tuesday , the 31st of July next, es which day the interest thereon will cease.

" HOLT MACKENZIE., &actary to the Government " 'THE EVENING ST LONDON. It• THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1821. Yesterday was the day for making up the Accounts of die Quarter's Revenue. We have not yet received the official statement of the amount. Some weeks age, we know that there was an increase of nearly £lOO,OOO in one department. It is currently said on 'Change, that the total Revenue is between five and 1;600,000 better than that of the corresponding Quar ter last year. This circumstance, along with the approaching payment of the Dividends, which will throw so many millions into circulation, has had a marked effect on the Funds. Consols opened this moming at 77 Vs sh for Money, and 77% for the Account, and for the next Account 78%.—Prices at One o'Clock: 3 per Cent. Reduced 76 % Vs % ex. div. 3 per Cefa.

The Moniteur contains an official Ordinance con voking the Chambers of Peers and Deputies,..mmeet op Monday, the sth of November next. The Spanish Cortes Extraordinary met on the 21th ultimo, and elected M. VALLEJO, Bishop of Majorca, President; M. PAUL, Vice-President; and MM. CLE. MENCIN, MEDRANO, PALARNA, and GIL DC LI NARES, Secretaries. The Prtzstoom declared the Cortes installed, and a deputation went to announce it to the KING. His MAJESTY answered the deputa tion, that he learnt with much pleasure that the Cortes were installed, and that on the morning of the 28th he would repair in person to the Assembly, to open the business of the Session. An article from PeteFsburgh, of the 9th Septem ber, states that the EMPEROR still remained in that capital, but that he intended to repair to the head quarters of the Army of the South on the 19th.— The exchange of couriers between the Russian Court and the Allied Powers, and especially with Constan tinople, was very frequent. The general opinion gill was that there would be no war. 41•1 A Mail from Brussels arrived this forenoon, with rapers to the 9th instant. An Augsburg article of j the Ist October, says, , 4 We learn from Warsaw, that large supplies of ammunition for the Russian troops stationed in the southern provinces of Russia, and on the frontier of Turkey, continue to pass through Vitepsk and Smolensko. A great number of horses have been put in requisition to convey these supplies to their destination. The number of old French, Piedmontese, and Neapolitan Officers, who have ar rived in Greece, to combat for tha independence of that fine country, is very considerable. Three French Generals, of great talents, six Colonels, and many distinguished Officers of the Engineers and Artillery, are mentioned. The Greek Chiefs, it seems, wish to organise a foreign legion, which, it is said, will be commanded by General LUEVILII DIANOUETTLI. Prince ESTERHAZT is expected to arrive at Chan dos House on Friday, from Paris. Tuesday. afternoon, Lord. and Lady BURONERSH arrived at the Brunswick Hotel, Hanover-square, from Brighton.

LISBON MAIL, A Lisbon Mail has brought us, this forenoon, Pa pers to the 28th ultimo. The following are extracts: LISBON, SEPTEMBER 27. In the Sitting of the Cortes on the 22d, a Deputy presented a Memorial from the Judge of Villa Nova de Guid, complaining of the depredations committed every night within his jurisdiction by numerous bands of armed robbers, whole proceedings were as regular as if they were disciplined troops. The Deputy (M. Minos) desired that the most energetic measures should be adopted. He was supported by several Members, and M. FRANZINI said, that a general plan was under con sideration for the organization of a police, to extend through the whole kingdom, in the nature of the gendarmerie in France, and that he thought this would put an end to such disorders. M. Maya° TELLEz, as Reporter of the Commit tee of Finance, asked and obtained leave to read a proposition, which he thought of consequence ; the Committee for considering the basis of the alterations to be made in the Customs, had reduced them to the three following points: 1. That all the productions of the country which shall be eon 1. from one port to another, or to different places in the kingdom, shall be favoured. 2. That such foreign productions as are similar to dune pro? duced in the kingdom, shall be subjected to heavy duties et wholly prohibited; and that foreign productions which supply the raw materials indispensable to the national manufactures shall be favoured. 3. With respect to Colonia l p roductions, they shall remain as they are; till all the Deputies from the Colonies being arrived, general measures may be adopted to regulate the future corn. merce of the Provinces, proposing to lessen the duties on the produce of the Portuguese dominions, and to augment them on the similar productions of foreign Colonies.—Ordered to be printed for future discussion. The following accounts have been received from Rio Janeiro, via Madrid : RIO JANEIRO, JULY 19. -A person arrived from Chili states, that San Mar tin had embarked at Huacbo, with 1000 men only ; and the same traveller beard at Mendoza that O'Hig gins had arrested Martin when he arrived at Chili. RIO, JULY 25. The people of Lima are full of enthusiasm, and resolved to remain united with Spain, if that country supports them, otherwise to declare themselves in dependent as well of Chili and Buenos Ayres as of Spain. Letters from Odessa of the 14th September, re ceived this morning, say everything is going on as usual; no idea of war was now entertained. The Duke of YORK yesterday transacted military business at the Horse Guards. The Duke of Nonrotic is at his seat, Farrham Hall, Bury St. Edmund's. The Earl of Bessonoron and family are in Italy, where they are expected to remain some time. Earl tinacotrar and family are at their seat, St. Leonard's, Windsor; they will leave in a few days for Newnham, another seat of the Noble Earl. Marquis CAMDEN is at Bayliam Abbey.

Yesterday, the Duchess of DEVONSHIRE, who landed at Dover on Saturday last from Calais, ar rived at Devonshire House, where a suit of apart ments had been fitted up for her reception, and where the Duke had invited a select party to dinner to meet her Grace. The Marchioness of LONDONDERRY arrived in town yesterday from North Cray, to meet the Duchess of DEVONSHIRE. A General Meeting of the Members of the Bir mingham Pitt Club took place on Monday, when it was resolved that the Dinner which was to have taken place this year should be postponed till Octo ber, 1823, and that in future it be held triennially. The celebrated Miss EDHEWORTII is expected shortly in this country, on a visit to Lord CA ItRING TON, at Wycombe, Bucks. She will, in course, pass some time with her literary friends in the Metropolis. Mr. KEAN is now studying the part of De Mont. fort, in the Tragedy of that name. Miss B AILLIE s re-written the whole of the last act. There is, say the French Papers, a man named CHET, living in the Commune of Chollen, near Gex, who has reached the age of 111 and some months, and is still so robust as to do the work of an agricul turallabourer. As a proof of the thinness of London, a Vestry was called last week in the parish of St. George, Ha nover-square, but business could not be proceeded on, as the requisite number of eight members could not be procured, agreeably to their Local Act, sal though the Vestry consists of 200 Noblem en and Gentlemen. HOAX IN ARLINGTON-STREET, PICCADILLY.-SOMBI mischievous -persons have been reviving the stale joke of a hoax amon* the various furnishing trades men of the Metropolis, which, from the dull season of the year, has been very promptly attended to. Va rious written orders have been sent to upholsterers, cabinet-makers, ironmongers, and others, to furnish different articles for Lord ARBUTHNOT, who, it was represented, bad taken and was fitting up a town mansion in Arlington-street, No. 26. Yesterday, and the day before, the street was visited by great num bers of these deluded tradesmen, all in high expecta tion of some good order, when, to their great disap pointment, they discovered that Lord ARBUTHNOT had given no orders, nor is there any number beyond 25 in the street. SPAIN.-YELLOW FEVER. BARCELONA, SEPTEMBER 19. SUPREME JUNTA OF HEALTH OF CATALONIA. The yellow fever, which at the beginning of last August appeared in some vessels anchored in the port of Barcelona, afterwards spewed itself in the Barcelonetta, in spite of the vigilance and exertions made by the Supreme Junta, in conjunction with the Magistrates, to arrest it, and as it has been ex tinguished in the port by the care and attention em ployed, its desolating germ has manifested itself in some parts of the capital, which, though it has not o caused the ravages that might have been expected, has not failed to claim the whole attention of the Junta. The Junta being charged with the preservation of the health of all the towns of the . Province, and obliged to take measures to preserve it in all unim paired, has been under the necessity of quitting the City with the superior Authorities, as is presented in the Royal Ordinances of 17th August, 1813, and 15th August, 1817, fixing its residence in a place where it may continue its exertions for the purpose of preventing the progress of the evil in those unfor tunate towns, and to preserve others from so dread ful a scourge. Without, therefore, losing sight of the relief of the worthy Citizens of Barcelona and Barcelonetta, and reconciling their interest with that of the other towns of the Province and of the whole Peninsula, the Junta cannot but be sensible that an opportune separation is the most powerful barrier that can be opposed to a contagious disease. —The Junta, therefore, acting on this principle, and carrying into execution the orders which it has re ceived from the Supreme Junta of the Kingdom, has decreed to place Barcelona in a state of incornmuni cation, and to establish a cordon, in fulfilment of the sacred duty which its character imposes, and it has in consequence resolved on the following Articles, to be observed by all classes of persons.—(Then follow the Regulations in 15 Articles.) On the 17th, a Proclamation was published against the bands of ill-disposed persons who assembled in the streets and violated the safety of the inhabitants. STATE OF THE HOSPITALS AT EARCELOKETTA.

VALENCIA, SEPTEMBER 19. A Proclamation was issued yesterday, stating that a contagious fever had manifested itself in the island of Majorca, against the spreading of which the usual precaution had been adopted, but that it was confined to persons who were in constant attendance on the sick ; that it was not more contagious than an ordi nary putrid fever, and had not a great analogy with the yellow fever. The Junta announces, with regret, that the malady has been introduced by the ruinous practice of smug gling. The Junta, painting in strong colours the dreadful situation of the places afflicted with such a scourge, calls on the citizens of Valencia to subscribe for the relief of the inhabitants of Majorca and Tortosa. MALAGA, SEPTEMBER Is. The inhabitants of this city enjoy the best state of health ; those persons who are ill in the hospitals and in the city, have only ordinary disorders. Tuesday, a General Meeting of the Lieutenancy of Hampshire was holden at twelve o'clock, at the White Hart inn, Winchester, at which the Duke of Mum:Norm presided; he arrived, according to his usual plan of exactitude, about five minutes before twelve. There was a full meeting of the Deputy Lieutenants, Lord RODNEY, Sir THOMAS RARING, Bart. M.P. Sir Jous POLLEN, Bart. M.P. &c. After the Meeting his Grace returned to Strathfieldsaye. • The Duke of WELLINGTON is the only survivor of all the Officers who were Commanders-in-Chief at the battle of Waterloo, though only six years have elapsed since that event. According to the Dublin Papers, the sum sub scribed for the National Testimonial in honour of his MAJESTY'S visit, amounted on the 4th instant to 130,058 2s. sd. " The Gold Plate, which was ordered to be made in lieu of those articles which were carried off by some enthusiastic hands from the Coronation Banquet, was on Saturday deposited in the Jewel House, at the Tower, which now once more boasts the whole Re alia complete ." —Morning Paper .—( The " articles carried off by enthusiastic hands" must have become heir-looms of the Fudge Family. We are well con vinced (for we had a hand in the spoliation) that there was not one piece of gold plate to carry off : the whole of the articles were merely of gilt timber. ED.] The Commissioners of the Police at Manchester have determined to enforce the provisions of Mr. M. A. TAYLOR'S Act, for removing the nuisance of smoke from steam-engines, in every part of the district over which their authority extends. THE ARMY.
