ROYAL EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK. The Markets remain without alteration The French Papett Of Monday . , btibg tome inte r:sting intelligence from Spain and also from Greece. Notwithstanding all the prognostieations of the French and English Ultra Journalists of the Massacres and confusion that were to follow the defeat of the Spanish Guards, and which they ridiculously called the Spanish 10th of August, Madrid maintained its tranquillity up to the 19th inst. the day to which our accounts reach ; the Constitutionalists had triumphed, and they have shewn by their moderation that they know how to make the best use of victory. Nor does it appear that the mutiny in the capital has had any injurious effect on the Provinces; on the contrary, the town of Bilboa no sooner heard of it, than 450 of the most respectable of its inhabitants presented an address to the KING, in which, after declaring their attachment o the Constitution, they express " the indignation ith which they have learned the perfidious conduct and scandalous desertion" of four battalions of the Guards, adding that they will, if necessary, perish in struggling against the rebels, and rather " fall amidst the ruins of Spain, yet free, than submit to the dis honour of living in Spain enslaved." In Catalonia the Constitutionalists are said to have captured St. d'Ui gel, after a contest in which 1000 of the insur gents were killed. The Journal des Debats states in a private letter from Madrid, that the most perfect tranquillity reigned in that capital. General RIEGO had had an interview with his MAJESTY, for the purpose of beseeching him not to believe certain reports that calumniated his motives, and misrepre sented his conduct. It is reported that the counter-revolutionary party offered General MORILLO five millions to put himself at the head of the Guards. He answered, five mil lions is a handsome sum, but the oath of a Spaniard ' is still better. The accounts from Greece state, in consequence k the want of money, the Greek Government has idopted a new mode of paying the troops ; that of übstituting payment in land. The quantity which e Government intend to dispose of in this manner la immense, including not only the domains of the Sultan, but also the Church lands, and these together knits two-thirds of the whole territory. This mea mre, which has the advantage of strongly attaching all classes to the soil, is said to have produced the best effects. Five thousand Peloponnesians have as- rsembled to join the army on the frontiers.. They are under the command of the President of the Greek Government, MAUROCORDATO ; and are accom anied by General NORNIANN, who commands 800 uropeAns. The Bth of June he joined the army of tolia and Acarnania, which consists of 15,000 men. he 13th he had passed the Gulf Ambniccia, or of rta, marching upon Epirus.

The Revolution in the New World is rapidly ap proaching its consummation. By the latest accounts from America, we learn that the Colombian Republic has nearly effected the complete subjection of the Spanish party. The fort called the Mirador de So 1m b, which commands the town and castle of Porto abello, on the Spanish Main, capitulated on the 17th f May, to the army of the Colombian Republic, nder General PA U. This fortress may be regarded as the last that was capable of making any serious resistance to the arms of the independents ; and the surrender of the town and castle of Puerto Cabello may be daily expected, ai they are commanded on the land side, and cannot obtain any succour or support of any kind, ;except what they may chance to get by the sea, and of this resource they are nct doubt long before this deprived. The following is the capitulation alluded to : " TRANSLATION Of die Capitulation of the military Vigio, Mirador de Selano, which completely commands the town and castle of Porto Cabello. " CAPITULATION 46 proposed to the General in Chief (Pace) of the Venezuelian Armies by the Captain Commandant of the Fort of the Vigio of Porto Cabello, vie. Art. 1.

Assurances had been received from London that the Colombian Government could have any sup plies it wished ) and to any amount, from England. —A frigate and corvette of war, for the use of the Republic, were about to sail from a British port at the date of their last accounts from Europe. Sir ROBERT Witson has sent his son to Colombia, to enter the military service of the Republic. He has been placed on the President's Staff. This forendon we received a Spanish Mail, bring ing Madrid Papers to the 12th inst. which, though not of a later date than those quoted in the French Papers, bring some additional intelligence respecting the Provinces. The following are extracts: MADRID, JULY 11. • The Government has received, by *trines% the im portant news that the National troops, commanded by Count de Valdecunas, entered Castro de Rio on the 6th. The Carabineers and other rebels aban• doned that point, to avoid the pursuit of the troops sent against them. It is also certain that the num bers of the rebels are greatly reduced. SARAGOSSA, JULY 5. The Constitutional Diary of this City, published yesterday a dispatch from the MuniCipality of the town of Fi aga, to the Political Chief of the Province. This dispatch states, that on the Ist of July, about six in the morning, when the greater part of the in habitants had gone to their labour in the fields, a great number of armed men, with drums beating, suddenly entered the town, and proceeded to the square of the Constitution, where they halted. Having compelled the Authorities to Assemble, their com- mander stated the object of their coming, which was to carry off the arms of the Local Militia, to seize the money in the public coffers, to throw down the stone of the Constitution, and set the prisoners at Ii- berty ! They also demanded 500 rations of bread and wine, in three hours, and that the same quantity should be ready for them the next day, leaving it to the option of the Municipality to collect it in a regular manner, and without inconvenience to the inhabitants, or to have them employ their bayonets to procure it. —All remonstrances being vain, the factious filling the streets, crying " Long live the King and Reli gion !" and the hills round the town being observed to be occupied by people of the same description, no resistance could be made, and the Municipality was obliged to yield to all their demands, except that ofd releasing the prisoners, from which they desisted, as its being represented that they were chiefly highway robbers aad murderers, and they contented them selves with the release of one who had been confined for a few days for some expressions alluding.to the' Trappist. They levied a contribution of 60,000 reap' took 60 muskets belonging to the Militia, and other at ms, which they demanded by Proclamation, with the standard of the Militia, which they dragged through the streets, threw down and broke the stone, and cast it into the river. They also carried off other articles, among which were three arrobas of powder, and one of ball, and withdrew in the afternoon by the road to Mequinents. They said that Lerida would soon be in their power, as the forts of Urgel and Figueiras were in that of their brethren, and that they would soon return to' Fraga. The Magistrates of Saragossa have published the account of.the flight of the Royal Guards at Madrid, to which the Political Chief has added an exhortation l to the inhabitants of Saragossa, to follow the example of those of Madrid, and to depend on the vigilance of the Authorities. Distrust and disorder are the shortest road to the loss of our liberties. BARCELONA, lONS 30.

They were taken from an agent, wTrii had a commission to raise recruits, and expected to levy IMO men, in a few days. A 'letter from Gem says—" We are astonibbed . at the lose of the Torts of Urgel; and it is afflicting that. Perent. Mould have delayed so long at 'fremp with his division : it is not easy to penetrate so many mysteries." Accounts front Talarn, of the 25th, say—" We have not yet seen the Insurgents, but we expect them soon, since the forts of Urgel are taken. Perena, with his division of 500 men; has been here some days.— Nobody conceives the reason of the delay, in not suc couring, or at least reinforcing, the garrison of Urgel. A letter from Mallet, of to-day, says, " One bun died insurgents passed by here to-day, who are said to have been levied in the plains of Barcelona, and they were going to join the factious in the moun tains. On their way they threw down several stones, and committed various excesses." A letter from Villafranca, dated yesterday, says, " The greatest fermentation is observed in all the surrounding country, and it is feared that many places Will follow the scandalous example of Piera, Masquefa, Vallbona." JULY 2. —The Political Chief has ordered a fine of fifty livies, and double in case of resistance, to be levied on each of the individuals composing the Mu nicipalities of several places where the stone of the Constitution was thrown down, without any resist ance being made by the Authorities, though they 'were strong enough to oppose the small number of the rebels. Bodies of forty or fifty rebels have en tered Rellentss, Olesa, and several other places. 'German Papers to the 12th instant have been re• ceived, but they possess no interest.

Letters from Gibraltar state, that the Spanish Vice- Consul- had left Algiers, which had been officially announced by the Government in order to guard the Spanish merchant vessels, as hostilities were expected to commence immediately. The following intelligence wat received at LLOYD'S this morning t-r " Gnut ran, Jatat 4.—The St. Pablo, Spanish ship of the line, is arrived at Cadiz, from Millers, and confirms the accouat of the unsatisfactory turn *hi& the negociadons between the Spa nish and Algerine Governments had taken. 'Tir Spanish Vice Consul had left Algiers, and the Government has made these circumstances ofilcially known, is order that Spanish merchant men may be upon their guard against any hostile attempts of the Algerine cruisers." Last night a great deal of business was got through in the House of Commons, and among other things, an act of tardy justice was done to a very deserving individual. We allude to the vote of 40001. to Sir WILLIAM ADAMS, the eminent Oculist, on account of the important services he rendered the Public during the four years that he superintended the Ophthalmic Hospital. The opposition that was made to this vote was no way creditable to the liberality of the Gentlemen who made it. It is not necessary to enter into the long contro versy which bad been carried on with unusual warmth oa this subject, in the Committee appointed by the House of Commons, since that Committee have, in their Report, declared in, favour of Sir WILLIAM ADAMS ? The Report states that he has greatly con tributed to promote a knowledge of the best modes of treating all the different stages of the Ophthalmia ; and chat, since the first establishment of the Ophthalmic Hospital, in 1817, be " has devoted to the duties arising out of his appointment, a large portion of that time, which, to professional men, is the source of income ' and that inasmuch as the time which be could apply to his private practice has thereby been much cur tailed, his professional emolument must also have been proportionally lessened. That he has performed the difficult duties of his appointment with the greatest assiduity and zeal, and that the Committee have been led to form the highest opinion of his skill and abilities as an oculist." Such was the opinion of the Committee of the House of Commons, and one certainly not formed on slight grounds; for Sir H. HALFORD, Dr. BAIL= LIZ, Mr. Cub's, Mr. AIERNITHY, and Sir ASTLSY Cooraa, have all attested the superiority and the success of his practice. The claim of Sir WILLIAM ADAMS was not for an invention promising Some re mote or speculative good—it was for a fair remune ration for services performed ; and certainly, when a Gentleman abandons a lucrative profession, and de votes himself for four years to his country, and dining that time renders it essential services, it is not too much to expect some indemnity, and that indem nity could not be more moderate than £lOOO a-year. l The House of Commons felt so, and voted the money; and we rather rejoice at the opposition made to the' ,vote than otherwise, since it afforded an opportunity of fairly vindicating the professional character of Sir WILLIAM ADAMS from the aspersions thrown upon it. Tuesday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, which vat upwards of an hour. it was attended by all the Ca-. binet Ministers, except the Earl of HARROW/IY, who is out of town. Yesterday. at ten o'clock, another Cabinet Council was held at the same place, which sat till half-past two o'clock. - THE MG'S PL IT TO SCOTLAND.-• • EDINBURGH, JULY 2. It is said to be the intention of the Magistrates and Council, to give a splendid banquet to his MAJESTY in the Outer Parliament House, to which the Libr.s ries and the First and Second Divisions of the Court will form a knit of rooms well adapted for such an entertainment. An additional number of wot kmen have been sent to complete the preparations making at Dalkeith Palace, where it is expected his MAJESTY will chiefly reside. The Duke of MONTROie and the Earl of ERROL hope taken bosses inGeorges-street, and the Waterloo Hotel is engaged for his MAJESTY'S Suite. THE ARMY.

COURT OF CHANCERY-THIS DAY. This morning, a few minutes before ten o'clock, Drusilla Street, mother of the young woman at Exeter, lately made a Ward of the Court, and for running away with whom Horatio Reeves and his brother, are now prisoners in the Fleet, was called before the LORD CHANCELLOR. She had been allowed until to-day to answer matters in some affidavits, imputing miscon duct to her in this business : the LORD CHANCELLOR, on reading her affidavit, was, however, so far satisfied with its contents as to order her to be discharged ; and she was discharged accordingly. Yesterday the Duke of Yoax visited the KING. The Earl of LtvaairooL and Mr. PEEL had audi ences of his MAJawrx. The return of the Duke de BLACAC to Paris has excited some disquietude in the Ministerial salons acre. Mr. YATES was not able to exhibit his talents at Vauxhall last night, inconsequence of having broken his leg. It teems, that having gone through the re hearsal of his part, to the satisfaction of all present, a plank, over which he had occasion to pass, gave way, and his leg snapped in two. A vessel arrived from Rio Janeiro brings letters dated the 24th of May—the following is an extract : 'a Yesterday the Municipal Authority made another represen tation to the Prince, with the view to convening a Parliament here, to tootroul the Cones ; a reply was given that this would be complied with, as soon as the other Provinces express a simi lar wish." The accounts from Ireland represent English b•urn y as pouring its stores of money and provisions; hut the distress still continues. The county of Cork Central Committee states, that it would require £7500 weekly to give adequate relief to all the distressed in the parishes of which they have had returns. The popu lation of Mayo, in the recent Census, is stated to be under 300,000, and the number of individuals now receiving charitable aid, - as made out from the Re ports presented to the Central Committee, exceeds 260,000. Three thousand families are in want in Venuy, in Kerry ; in this county the people are digging up the young potatoes to preserve life. A Correspondent in a Morning Paper suggests that some te paration ought to be made to the man who was severely flogged for accusing the Hon. and Right Reverend PRIPCT JOCIZTS, Bishop of Clocker, of that clime in which he has so recently been detected. 'this was about ten years ago, when the mitred monster was Bishop of Ferns. The man, whose name is Bynee, was tried in the Recorder's Court, Dublin, and was convicted on the evidence of the Prelate, who, it is more than probable, per. jured himself on the occasion. Byrne having been sentenced to be publicly whipped through the streets of Dublin (front New gate to the Royal Exchange, and back again), the Sassier, in the zealous discharge of Ma duty, superseded, for that day, the common etecudoner, and procured frum the Barrack a drummer, nearly six feet high, whose strength and desterity were fully proved by the manner in which he lacerated the back of the un happy culprit. Byrne bore the puuldunent without a crout— on his being caryletTibto the gaol from the car, to whisk he had been tied, be solemnly declared his innocence, and burst into tears. Byrne left the country, and lop not since been heard of.
