The long and anxiously expected day has at length arrived, and many hopes and fears are laid at rest. — It has turned out a Bull Account ; the Market has, therefore, suffered a depression of 34 per Cent. from which, we doubt not, it will recover as soon as this day is over. There has been no defaulter declared up to the present hour. The fluctuations during the Account are as follows—they opened at 78 1 , and rose to 19, the highest price they have obtained this Account: they fell to 77%, and ag ain recovered to 78%, and they left off yesterday at 77%. at which price they are now.—Current prices : 3 per Cent.

For several months past, the attention of the Public has been on the alert, in reference to certain changes which had long been anticipated in the Cabinet; some I conceiving those changes necessary, and others sup posing that Ministers were sufficiently able to conduct the n ttional affairs without further assistance. We have reason to believe, that Ministers themselves were not of the latter opinion. A Right Hon. Gentleman,: of high talent in the Senate, and recently a Cabinet Minister, had, we are assured, been most earnestly solicited to resume office; to which, indeed, he him self was " nothing loth," but that, in the highest quar ter, an objection to his acceding to office was urged, repeated, and finally persisted in, notwithstanding every effort to overcome those prejudices had been, with almost equal pertinacity, tried, but tried in vain. We are, however, well assured, that, within these few days, an amicable arrangement was made between that Right Holrourable Gentleman and the Noble • Lord at the head of the Cabinet. It is understood that his accession to office will take place at no dis trust period ; but that, in the meantime, Ministers do not feel so absolutely under the necessity of obtaining his support as to press the matter mote elnuestly ; and thus it rests at present. The Possian Circular, on the contents of which many have infirred that there will be no war between that Power and Turkey, presents to our mind no other conclusion than that a war is inevitable. The lan guage of the Circular could not be better contaived to place the entreaties of the other Powers in com plete den ion. The policy of the Court of St. Peter s burgh, for the last half century at least, has been to avail itself of eves/ event calculated to extend its influence southward at the expense of Turkey. The insurrection of the Greeks offers a favourable oppor tunity to pursue its usual polic y; and the great Powers offer entreaties —perhaps remonstrances —to that ambitious Cabinet ! And what does Russia say? Oh, we have no wish to disturb the present peace of Europe, 44 ills MAJESTY, the EMPEROR, is ready to renounce every idea of war, V the European Cabinets should, in their wisdom, find a means of obtaining from th the e Ott om an Porte guarantees ca p able of protecting Christians of Turkey from the renewal of the revolting scene of which they have been the victims. The Courts of Europe are requested to consider immediately of the means proper for obtaining the desired object, , and thus to relieve him from obtaining by force of arms those conditions which the honour of his crown, the maintenance of treaties, and the protection which he owes to religion and humanity, render it his duig to require from the Porte." Obtain from the Porte a guarantee capable of pro tecting the Christians of Turkey! Yes, this is all that ALEXANDER requires the European Cabinets to obtain for him ! and, if they do not perform this im possibility. " his duty" enjoins him to obtain this se curity by force of arms. On this ground we arc told, forsooth, that there will be no wart To us it ap pears a plain declaration that the Court of St. Peters= burgh has determined not to let the present circum stances slip without taking the advantages which they seem to hold out for extending its influence and een pire. All the Powers of Europe united cannot obtain from the Porte any satisfactory guarantee for the security of Christians in Turkey. But they might, without much difficulty, obtain security for the cnunuies now in insurrection, by erecting them into an independent Kingdom, and establishing their liberty. And why not ? Have not these Powers re nuanced every view of aggrandizement by extent of territory ? If honest in these professions, what objec tion can there be to the independence of Greece?— But are the views of the Holy Allies so perfectly dis interested and honest that they may be expected to en-operate in bringing about such an arrangement ? For our own part, we think they aru not. Some *am would, we imagine, be much more inclined eis Greece should experience the fate of Poland—if _~- sweated from her present oppressors.—But though till might be agreed to by some, is it to be inferred that Russia might be brought to agree to a partition, when every circumstance invites that Power to make itself master of the whole? The other Powers, by making common cause with the Greeks, might in sure their independence, but it would require a strug gle which but few of them may be willing to en counter. A few years ago they were driven to unite against France; but it seems by no means likely that they can, for a long time to come, be united against Russia. But let us suppose that Russia only aims at pro tecting the Christians against the barbarians. If so may she prosper well in her undertaking ! We frankly confess that we like not that policy which prohibits other Christians from assisting the Greeks, on the mere pretest of maintaining a strict neutrality.. The Turks are constitutionally, if they have a Constitu tion, the enemies of all Christians, and should be held as such by all the Powers of Europe. The Paris Journals of Thursday, Friday, and Satur day, arrived this morning. They contain little intel ligence of importance respecting France, but they are filled with statements and counter-statements of ' the war between the Greeks and -the Turks. The victory of Thermopylm, and the capture of Tripp°. litza, are confirmed; but the Greeks are raid to have sustained a defeat at Patras. in Constantinople every thing is agitation and alarm ; and there is as much precaution taken against any sudden attack as if the enemy was at the gates. The cause of the Greeks is certainly gaining ground in the Morea, where, it is said, their forces amount to 25,000 men. These Papers contain a variety of intelligence from Spain, which is far from being of a consolatory na• tore. Party spirit runs high in the Capital, and in the Provinces. A private letter from Madrid, of the 14th of November, says, " that a dissolution of the Monarchy may be almost expected; and that Valen cia, Arragon, Catalonia, and Gallicia, are on the point of separating fr3m the Capital, to form Federal Republics." Addresses are pouring in to the KING from several of the provinces in favour of Rrnoo, whose name is associated with seditious cries in the capital. " Long live RlEGO):Envet.or of the Spanish Republic !" is said to have been a thousond times repeated in the nightly promenades of the Clubbists. French Funds, Saturday, Nov. Five per Cents. 89 f. SO c. The following are extracts from the French Jour nals received this morning : PARIS, NOVEMBER 23. M. Latour Maubourg, Ambassador from France to Constantinople, has proceeded to Toulon, where he will einbaik. He bears, as a present to the Grand Seignior, two splendid crystal candelabras, eight feet high. Letters from the Tyrol announce an extraordinary and deplorable event:—A high mountain in the Pus terthal, between the ancient bishoprick of RI ixen and Carinthia, has soddenly moved, and been precipitated on the little village of Muda. The whole valley of Nfuda was covered in an instant with earth, rocks, and trees. It is not known how many persons have suffered by this frightful catastrophe. An article from Augsburg states, that the Minister of Hanover had, previous to the departure of his Ma jesty pisesented him, in the name of the country, with 10,000 pieces of gold newly coined, intended to pay the expenses of the Monarch, which they whimsically enough state Lord Sidmouth had refused to do out of the public Treasury of England. The trial of Illaziau, for the conspiracy of the 19th of August, was continued on Thursday, and termi nated yesterday, when the Chancellor of the Honse of Peers pronounced the sentence in a public sitting. Maziau is condemned to five years imprisonment, and to pay the expenses sal the process against him. MADRID, NOVEMBER 17. The Duc de Cadiz, nephew of the King, died on the 15th, at the Royal Palace of the Escurial. This event was announced to the Cortes on the following day by the Minister of Marine. The inhabitants of Murcia have followed the ex ample of the cities of Cadiz and Seville, in addressing the King in admonitory terms. The dodges refused to call or acknowledge a Public Meeting for this pur pose among the Citizens, but the other Authorities gave their sanction, and an Address was voted. A letter from Madrid, in the Gazette de France, of ',the I,3th of November, states, that on the preceding 'evening a body of a hundred men assembled, crying Down with the Ministers !"—" Long live Riego The Officer of the Guard entreated them to retire.— One of the foremost replied, that it was not the in tetttion of the citizens who accompanied. him to dis turb the public peace, but only to burn some anti-con stitutional Journals, and among others the Universal. The Officer and the Guard were compelled to use force to disperse them ; and after firing a single shot in the midst of the mob, they succeeded in seizing thirty of the principals, whom they conducted away. Among them was a Lieutenant-Colonel, whose name is not given. A letter from one of the French Physicians at Bar celona, dated the 10th of November, states the plague to be somewhat less fatal, or less rapid in its progress, but still it commits dreadful ravages. It at first at tacked more particularly persons, both male and fe- • mile, of a middle age ; then rthildtPop of born ten' to fifteen years, and some old men. The deaths at Barcelona on the 7th of November, 'were 58 ;on the Bth, 84 ; and 65 on the 9th. All communication between Barctilonmand Barcelonetta is still . interdicted. _ Another letter from Barcelona, dated the 14th of November, says, " The plague diminishes, but the deaths are still, on an average, fifty a day." But, from the 24th of October to the 9th of November, the number of victims was 1722, which is more than a hundred a day. Seville has followed the example of Cadiz. On the 30th of October, the 42d Number of the Impar tial, which contained some severe remarks on the Revolutionists, was solemnly burnt in an, assembly of 600 persons, amidst the cries of " ltiego and the Constitution." A remonstrance to the King, similar to that from Cadiz, was drawn up, and, after being numerously signed, was sent to Madrid by an ex- traordinary courier. A new band of partizans has appeared in the neigh bourhood of Orensa, ia Gallicia. The elections in the different provinces of Spain have been satisfactory to the friends of constitutional liberty. ODESSA, OCTOBER 25. The reports circulated abroad of the possibility of a rupture with the Porte, are not confirmed at present; and although the news is so often dated from Odessa, yet it is certain we are often quite ignorant of the events which are stated to have taken place here. In Bessarabia, and particularly in the town of Kischeniow and its environs, there are 1200 Greeks who are waiting for more favourable circumstances ; but it is not true that the Princess Ypsilanti is orga nizing a corps. The Prince Suzzo lives here, but the former Ilospodar has been conducted into the in terior. Prince Cantacuzene has arrived in the Morea. A letter from Skuleny, on the frontiers of Russian Bessarabia, states, that Captain Jordaki (who was said to have been killed in a prison in Constanti nople) had arrived there, after having passed fifteen days in the forests. It is remarked that this news wants confirmation: The report of the victory gained by the Greeks at Thermopyle, is said to be confirmed by letters from Galazidi, of the 10th of September. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCTOBER 15. Our Capital is in great agitation. A Firban of the Grand Seignor orders all the troops not to go into quarters, but to bivouac according to a new arrangement, resting on their arms, and having their horses saddled, as if the enemy was within a league of the city A great fire took place near the Column of Theo dore the Great, which lasted eleven hours, and did considerable damage. Neither the Sultan, nor any of the great dignitaries repaired to the spot as usual. The taking of Tripolitza is fully confirmed. From the most recent and impartial accounts it would appear, that the Greeks have 28,000 men in the Morea, of whom 10,000 are well armed. Antigua Papers arrived this morning to the 6th October. The seasonable rains with which the bland has been blessed during the last three weeks, could not have come when they were more wanted, and should we be so fortunate as to have them succeeded by periodical showers, the planters will stand some chance of a tolerable crop at the commencement of the ensuing year. By accounts received from the Havannah at Saint Jago de Cuba, it appears .that tobacco will in future be a free article. The bland of St. Thomas suffered considerably from the violence of the late gales, which lasted the I 1 th, 12th, and 13th October, and nearly the whole of the shipping were driven on shore. Extract of a letter from Port Antonio, dated Oc tober 1 :—" Last night and this morning we were visited with the most alarming thunder and lightning ever experienced here, during which, I am sorry to state, the schooner Dorchester, lying here ready for sea, sustained considerable injury, having her main mast shivered to pieces ; but, fortunately, none of the crew were lost." Yesterday, the Duke of YORK, as Commander-in. Chief, held a Levee at his Office in the Horse Guards, which was attended by between 40 and 50 personages. Her Royal Highness the Princess SorutA, yester day, visited the Duke of YORK in the Stable Yard, and partook of a dejeume a la fourchette. The Princess AUGUSTA is shortly expected to rat turn to England.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussax gave a grand entertainment, at Kensington Palace, to a se lect party, on Sunday last. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, after transacting business at the Foreign Office yesterday, dined at his town residence, in St. James's-square. Saturday, the Earl of CATHCART rode on horse back from his house at Benfield to Spittle Barracks, near Windsor, to inspect the Regiment of Life Guards quartered there, of which the Noble Earl is Colonel. Afterwards the Noble Earl returned to Bonfield. The Duke of NORFOLK, who arrived in town on Saturday, from his seat, Fornham, Suffolk, left on Monday on a tour. The Marquis of BATH has arrived in town to ex pedite the completion of his elegant mansion in Gros venor-square, which is undergoing improvement. The Marquis and Marchioness of CHOLMONDKLEY arrived in town last night.
