What business is doing is in Colombian and Spanish Bonds: the former are better since the letters by the Jamaica Ilan have come to band. This forenoon we received a German Mail, bring ing Papers to a.late date. The Austrian Observer at length admits the reierses of the Turks in the Morea, and lays the blame on CHOURSCIIID Nara, who, it is said, did not march with his accustomed prudence, but with great precipitation, and that he found him self at Argos without provisions—the consequence of which was, that the Greeks attacked his army, which suffered considerable loss. Thus-far is admitted in a Journal which has been the notorious and unblushing advocate of the Turks on all occasions, and which has been in the regular habit of concealing or falsi fying facts that, if known, would serve the cause , of the Greeks. • The same Journal states, that since the 10th of September the Turkish flag has waved on the walls of Suli ; and adds, what we shall be very happy to find confirmed, that the British Government has afforded protection to the brave Saliots, who ex pressed a wish to emigrate, and form a settlement in one of the lonian Islands. General ADAMS, it is said, , seems to have entered unwillingly into this nvgocia tion ; but at length he has complied with the wishes of the &lints, granted them sonic districts in the island of Cephalonia, sent several cargoes of corn thi ther for the immediate subsistence of the emigrants, and dispatched transports to rievesa to fetch their The Audi ian Observer has a long note on the sub ject of Suli, in answer to some articles in the Coma. tutiounel. The following are extracts: VIENNA, OCTOBER 22. r1:;),4 'IHE ♦C67RIAH 0111SERV6R. . ~, We have received accounts from Corfu of the 14th September, and from Zante of the 17th, respecting' tl.e state of things in the Morea at the latest period. Though they do not throw a complete light on the events, they give, however, much useful information, considering the insufficiency of the direct accounts frcim Constantinople. These accounts come from. persons who, strangers to all party spirit, know no other duty. or interest than to give a faithful and im partial account of facts, as far as they are acquainted with them. _ _ _ This circumstance is applicable to all reports which the Austrian Observer is permitted to make use of, and should in justice be rather oftener recollected when people judge of our articles, and compare them with other statements which ate materially partial, and therefore not wholly to be depended upon. According to the reports from Onrfu, it appears certain that Chourschid Pacha did not execute his march to the Morea with his accustomed prudence, but with great precipitation ; that he calculated nei ther the resources of the country into which he pene trated, nor the resistance that he might experience; and that, after an unexpectedly rapid progress, he found himself at Argos without sufficient fotces to continue his operations,and without pt ovisions. The consequence was, that the Turkish Generals were obliged to re tire to Corinth. That on this occasion they were at tacked by different Chiefs of the lnsurgenth and suf fered considerable loss. The garrison of Napoli di Romania was again abandoned to its own resources, and again ready to capitulate. These events, the dates of which are not precisely stated in our accounts, seem to have taken place at the latter end of August. The Turks, however, re mained masters of Corinth, and, from this important point they might, as soon as they felt themselves' strong enough, resume at pleasure the operations which had been interrupted. On the 13th of September news had been received at Corfu that a division of the great Turkish fleet had bled the southern point of the Morea, and landed ROmania; so that not only again escaped the danger obliged to capitulate, but , the corps of insurgents, which was near that place, has received stvonsidereAvoheat\Thio news has olso bey received at Naplitlietters from respect ale quarters, and it is considered aakettain, but we "eiiiimanicate it without warraniingiteauthenticity. acatitnts 'from Sante taste she events in the Morea—the retrograde movements of the Turks, their aisles and consequences;with•as little deakitis those from Cods, but, on the whole, in perfect agreement 'With them. Nothing had transpired in Zama; of any decisive defeat of the Turks; on the contrarvit was positively asserted there, that the actions which bad taken place between the 6th and the 9th of Septem ber, had been greatly to• the disadvantage of the Greeks, who had boat in them, among others, the Chiliard Petinessa and his son ; and had, at the end, retreated into their strong positions. Jussuf Pacha, who commands the head-quarters , at Corinth, was incessantly occupied in collecting pro visions and reinforcements. These accounts give a melancholy picture of the state of the country. The four Military Chiefs, Co locotrone, Ypsilanti, Creveto, and the Bey of Maina, have divided the sovereignty of it. The two first govern despotically in the districts of Argolis and Achaia, and the two last in Messenia and Naialli de Malvasia. The inhabitants feel the burden of thip Dictatorship, without promising themselves any ad vantage from it. If at the beginning the insurrec tion had excited some hopes in the body of the people, the most simple see at length that the only object now is tht advantage or security of a small number of military adventurers, from whom nothing is to be expected but the indefinite prolongation of the general misery; for nobody believes that, even with the most obstinate resistance, they can finally hold out against the Turkish power, but people tremble at the miseries which they may bring upon the country in the meantime and before the unequal contest is ended. At al) events the issue of the war in Albania and Epirus is an event very decisive of the fate (f the Peninsula and all Greece. The Porte was early sen sible that its first care should be to secure thoie im portant Provinces, which are one of the keys to its European dominions; and whether it were directed in this point by the advice of enlightened persons, or guided merely by a right judgment, it did not at tempt any great measure against the Morea before it had conquered Ali Pacha, whom it justly considered as its most dangerous enemy. Since his destruction, it has had, in fact, none to fear from the Suliots—a nation small in numbers, in habiting a barren caontry, but the bravest of all these tribes. Even in the lifetime of Ali, ChOurschid Pacha had gained over the Suliots to the Porte: the violent and imprudent measures of the Generals command ing under him lost this advantage, and the war broke. 'out anew. The most enlightened among the chiefs of the insurgents bad founded their greatest hopes on this diversion. But the Suliots have at length been forced to yield to the Turks, whom it would not now be an easy task to drive from Epirus. The accounts from Zante, as well as all those which have reached us, assert in the most positive manner that no European Power bas taken, in the most in direct manner, any part in the operations of the Turkish army. A strict scrupulous neutrality has been observed on all sides. The Turks have, in truth, not asked for any aid, and their pride and distrust would certainly have prevented them from accepting it: English vessels, on board otte of which was Mr. ,green, the Vite Consul, experienced at the beginning of this month, some difficulty on entering the Gulf of Lepanto, because they would not submit to he visited as requested by the Turkish 'Authorities. The Austrian flag has been everywhere respected, but there has also been no ground for complaint against it. The Constitutiounei, among other ridiculous nen- i sations, reproaches the Austrian Observer, first, with having, in accounts from Corfu of the 13th of Au gust, stated the reduction of Suli .; secondly, of having spoken, in the course of last winter, of a convention between Chourschid and the Suliots - ; and thirdly, of having stated, three months ago, that Chourschid had made himself master of the fortress of Suli, and there taken a grandson of Ali prisoner. It adds, that one of these statement is asill•founded as the other. Frankfort Papers to the 28th ult. Nuremberg to the 27th, and the Austrian Observer to the 22d, have reached us. The following are extracts: / 114 at Corfu that a division of u , •i doubled the southern point 15,000 men at Napoli di 11,C ! the Turkish garrison has as that threatened it of being 4 )14 CONSTA NTINOPLE, SEPTEMBER 27. We have no recent news from the fleet, nor from the Morea. The Government has issued a new gold coin. Sup posing it at 19 carats fine, which is the standard of the half Mahmudie, that is worth 12i Piastres, and weighs three quarters of a drachm, the weight is di minished only 20 per cent.—the new coin weighing half a drachm, and being issued at 10 piastres. The three Genoese ships which had received their documents of naturalization from Odessa, have at length, after numberless difficulties, obtained permis sion to continue their voyage to the Black Sea. The Siedish Ambassador here, when he obtained . the same permission for the ships of his nation, con sented that the ships on.their return should be bound to sell their cargoes of grain to the Government, if it stood in need of them. Now one of them has been back here above a month, and cannot obtain any de cision whether the Porte will keep the wheat, or per mit it to sail elsewhere with it.

MILAN, OCTOBER 16. Ms Majesty the Emperor of Austria has been pleased to revoke the Decree of the 12th of August last, relative to the transit of goods through the king dom of Lombardy and Venice, and has replaced every thing on the same footing that it was before. , The motives for this beneficial delineation of his Majesty were, on the one hand, a regard for the declared wishes.of the people of the Milanese; and on the other hand, the new road made by the Sardinian Govern ment in Piedmont, which leads close by the frontiers of Lombardy to Lower Italy, and by which the re ceipts of the customs in Lombardy were greatly di minished. • - .

Letters from Santa Fe de Bogota, of the 19th and 29th ofJune last, make no mention of accounts being received there of the Loan contracted by Mr. Zen in Paris ; the presumption therefore is, that at that period they had not received the amount of it, and that, consequently, the Decree of the Vice-President, General SANTANDIR, dated on the Ist of June, could have had no reference to it.

A gang of fourteen (six of whom, were arrested) were met in the. Grand Prairie, between the Meumentas and Coriasras.

The liberation of Mr..Humr was celebrated in the Borough of Tewkesbury on Wednesday morning last, by ringing of the Church bells; and notwithstanding there was some difference of opinion between the ringers and the Minister, the day went off cheerfully. Several large bonfires were kindled on Wednesday last, in the eastern suburbs of Glasgow, in honour of Mr. HUNT'S liberation. As a further proof of the. prosperous state of affairs, in the evening a large pat ty i sat down to an elegant entertainment n a house in Bridgetown. The whiskey toddy was drank out of bottles (each person a bottle) instead of glasses, to the toast of , Annlal Suffrage and Universal Parliaments. The Mansion-houge is in a state of preparation for the new Mayoralty. The drawing-room is no longer to be up two pair of stairs, a height of which the Aldermen and their Ladies have been constantly in the habit of complaining. The drawing room is to be formed of the room called Wilkes 's room, and the sword-bearer's-room, on a level with the Egyptian-hall, which are thrown into one by magaificeut folding doors. The Lofm MAyoa will have reason to condemn this arrangement, 5s in fact Wilkes': room is the only comfortable apartment in the house, and has been on that account selected 'by every Loan MAYOR for domestic purpoJes. The convenience-of the chan g e howeier ' will be great on public nights; and the ball-room, in which it has been the practice time immemorial to receive com pany, will be appropriated, to dancing.

FOUNTAINS ABBEY.—We have learnt with regret, that during the storm on the night of the sth ult. ten or twelve yards of the cloisters at these venerable ruins fell down.

COVENT-GARDEN—The very favourable impression which Miss LACY'S Belvidera made upon a London audience, received last night, such strong confirma tion from her performance of Isabella, that her claim to the "divinceparticula aura" is clearly placed beyond the reach of Contradiction. Her exertions were fre quently rewarded by warm plaudits, and sometimes their effect was strongly acknowledged in the pro found silence which pervaded the House. The part of Biron, in Mr. C. KEMBLE'S hands, lost nothing of its interest ; and the other characters were well sup ported. The audience was one of the most numerous since the commencement of the season. The appear ance of the Home was unusually gay, as in the Ladies' costume (from the fineness of the weather) the lively colours of summer prevailed more than those appropriated to a more advanced season. Mr. BLOOD, the Gentleman who, under the assumed name of DAVIS, recently made hisdebut with so much credit at the Haymarket Theatre, in the character of Ilfacheath, is engaged at Covent-Garden, and will shortly make his first appearance there. Miss PATON, who continued most seriously indis posed during almost the whole of last week, is now so Far recovered as to afford a hope that we shall soon have the pleasure of seeing her again in public. The Irish Tutor, which has met with such success it Covent-Garden, is, we understand, the productiva of the Earl of GLINGALL. FESTIVAL 0* Si'.
