The Market appears to be steady this morning, owing, no doubt, to the Bank Directors waiting on Ministers to-morrow, after which some fluctuations are expected to take place. We ate informed that the Revenue, from the sth April up to Satur day night, is £300,000 more than the corresponding month of last year.—Consols are, up to this hour, 788 for the Account, and 71e 8 for Money. FORZIGN FCNDS.—There is not much business transacting in the Foreign Market this morning.—Spanish New and Oki 651 ; Prussian 86i (sellers); Danish n 5 ; Neapolitan 611 i 69; Colom bian Old ex dividend at par; New 86; French Funds 88f. 40c. r i r" . 7 ll r i r- 11 7:77 111 M 1, - , .:••. • •- 1, 41- Sinking Fund, which has been so much encrottliod I on bylMinisters already, that it. is the worst of affec - I 'cation to talk of its inviolability any longer. The French Papers of Thursday and Friday have been received. The Moniteur contains two Procla mations of the KING, dated the Ist inst. for closing the Session of the two Chambers; and an Ordonnance ' for convoking them on the 4th of June. M. de Va- LEL; the French Minister of Finance, has addressed a Circular to the heads of the various branch* of Treasury employment and patronage, directing them to call upon all the subordinate agents under their controul, to give their votes and interest to the Mi nisterial- Candidates at the approaching Election.— This Circular is said to have excited a great sensation in Paris. An article from Petersburgh, of April 9th, states, in a semi-official form, the grounds upon which the E+epEnoei has altered the Tariff relative to Prussia, and determined that the flee trade in certain articles, with that Power, uuder the Convention of the 19th of December, 1818, is to cease at the end of the cur rent year. "At the Congress is 1815 1 " this semi official observes, " all the Powers were anxious to relieve European commerceirein the yoke under which it laboured for ten consecutive years previously ; but Russia alone abandoned the prohibitive system."— England preserved her's ; Austria remained faithful to the rule of protecting her native industry against foreign ; France adopted new precautions ; and the EMPEROR thinks it right to follow the example of other nations, rather than be the only loser. The following are extracts: • .4 PARTS, MAY 3. The Lyons Gazette of the 29th of April, says—" A letter ft om Marseilles of the 25th of April states, that she intelligence of an insurrection of the Greeks in the lonian Isles against the English High Commissioner, is confirmed." Letters from Bourdeaux of the 29th of April, say, " There were seized yesterday morning in the river three chests, containing each 25 muskets : the chests were conveyed to the house of the Lieutenant-Gene ral Commandant of Division." A letter from Nancy of the 28th of April, gives a formal contradiction to the Journals of the Nether lands, which have spoken of the agitation that pre vails in that city, and of the discovery of a military conspiracy. The same letter states, that Lorraine, and particularly Nancy, never enjoyed greater tranquillity. TRIESTE, APRIL 19. We have this instant received the following Bulletin " HELLENIC GOVERNMENT. " The -President of the Executive Power makes known that the enemy's fleet having been put to flight after the naval battle of the 20th of February (March 4), and pursued by the nation:l fleet, the latter was seen on the morning of the 25th of February (March 0) off Cape Papa. It then proceeded towards Patras, where it found 24 ships of the enemy, a part of which was ena bled to save themselves within the Castles of Lepanto, and the remainder of which was set on fire. The Greek fleet passed the following night between Aliscolongi and Patras. On the follow ing day it sailed towards Patras, carrying terror to the enemy. The Pacha Niebemet, who had made a sortie from the fortress ' with some troops, seeing the destruction of his countrymen and the conflagration of a great part of a naval division, re-enter the garrison full of terror. (Signed) a ALEX. MAVROCORDATO, " President of Congress. " THEODORE NEGRI, 4, President of the Council of Ministers!, The French editor adds, that the latter person who signs this document had been nominated Turkish Charge d'Affaires at Paris, but being captured in the Archipelago a year ago, he resolved to remain with the insurgents, and sent back his credentials to the Grand Sultan. AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, APRIL 26. We have received by the couriers today several letters from Warsaw and Be, lin ; one of them says— It is now stated that the Emperor of Russia has consented to wait the result of the new propositions which the Austrian Cabinet has directed the Imperial Internuncio, the Count de Lutzow, to mike to the Ottoman Government, and that it will not be till im mediately after the receipt of the answer of the Di , van that the Russian armies, in the event of its being unfavourable to the maintenance of peace, will open the campaign, by entering the two-Principalities cf Moldavia and Wallachia." Another letter states, that all the Russian regiments which form part of the Armies of the South and West, as well as other separate corps, have been placed on the war establishment since the 11th of April. At Petersburgh great activity continues to prevail in the. Ministries of War and Foreign Affairs. French Funds, Five per Cents. May 1.-871. 80c. May 2.—Opened at 87f. 95c. closed at 87f. 80c. Madrid Papers to the 22d ultimo have reached us. Some disturbances of an unimportant nature are described as having occurred at Barcelona and Sara gossa. In the latter city a group of about thirty or forty persons, supposed to belong to the militia, burnt in effigy the Minister of the. Interior, from dissatis faction at the decree lately passed for the regulation of that force. The Universal of the 21st states that orders had been given for the recall of the Spanish Charge d'Affaires at Turin. The same paper ex presses its surprise that a Minister should have been continued so long as a witness of the insults daily of fered to his country by the Court of the petty King of SARDINIA. This forenoon w•e received a Dutch Mail, bringing Papers to the 4th inst. The French Ambas s ador at Vienna is said to have had several conlencos with REPUBLIC OF COLOMBIA. The Holders of all Debentures issued by me, as Vice-Presi dent of the Republic of Colombia, numbered from No. 1 to 500 (both inclusive), and dated London, the Ist August, 1820, may receive payment of the same, with the interest which will then be due thereon, on Monday, the first day of July next, at the Office of Messrs. C. lIIRRING, W. GRAHAU, and J. D. PA ROLES, the Agents of the Colombian Republic, Freeman's-court, Corn hill, London ; and the Holders of the aforementioned Deben tures are requested to take notice, that the interest thereon will cease from and after' the said first day of July next ensuing.

The new Financial Plan of Lord LONDONDERRY for paying what is called the dead charge of half-pay and pensions to the Navy, Army, &c. does not appear at all satifactory to the Public ; and objections are made both as to the principle of the mctsure and the manner in which it is intended to be carried into exe cution. Now as to the principle, that of charging posterity with some portion of the burden which the unexampled sacrifices the present generationhas made, has occasioned, we think it perfectly fair, if it be ad mitted that those exertions were necessary for our national preservation, or that they will benefit the country hereafter. What we object to is the complicated nature of the project, and the sacrifice which must be made by the country to procure a temporary relief.— The plan, divested as much as possible of all am biguity, is this—The country now pays five mil lions per annum in certain pensions which are life annuities: this sum would, according to the ordi nary calculation of annuities, gradually decline until, at the end of forty-five years, it would not amount to more than £300,000. Now, instead of waiting for its slow but gradual declension, the Minister pro poses to contract with some party who shall pay this Lite Annuity instead of its being paid by the coun try. This is to be done by granting, in the shape of annuities to the contractors, the yearly sum of £2,800,000 for a period of forty-five years, on their engaging to pay these pensions until they become ex tinct by the deaths of the individuals receiving them. The contractors will, consequently, in the first year, have to make good a deficit of £2,200,000, which will gradually decline until the sixteenth year, when the Government annuity will cover the amount of the pensions; this profit will then increase every year un til, as it is calculated, that at the end of forty-five years the last year of the annuity will yield them a profit of £2,500,000. Thus it will be seen that the contractor is to pay what is equal to an annuity for fifteen years, of five millions per annum, and to re ceive an annuity for forty-five years, of three millions per annum: the balance is, that he is to pay two millions per annum for fifteen years, as the purchase for a reversion after fifteen years, of three millions for thirty years. An annuity for 45 years of two millions, at five per cent. is worth about - X 80,759,400 An annuity for 30 years, after IS years, of three millions, at 5 per cent. is therefore worth about 2,183,200 The premium on the whole transaction is therefore about . 1,423,800 The immediate advantage Ministers propose from it is, that they will, for the first year, receive from the contractors £2,200,000; the second year, about £2,000,000, and a smaller sum every succeeding year for fifteen years only. Of the sum received from the contractors in the first year, £1,800,000 is to be ap plied to the relief.of the country, by taking off taxes to that amount, and the remaining four hundred thou sand pounds is to be reserved for payment of the sur plus of the dead charge, when it reaches the maximum. The whole plan in fact is nothing more nor less than borrowing or raising by; loan 82,200,000 for one year (and a smaller sum for 14 years more) in the most unfavourable terms of annuities; and instead of reducing the expenditure of the country, leaving £400,000 additional at the disposal of Ministers above the sum of £1,800,000, to go to the relief of the country in reduction of taxes : and the result is, that the country is to raise £2,200,C00 upon un favourable terms, to obtain relief to the extent of £1,800,000, and Ministers to retain the whale Reve•• nue, as before, with the addition of £4oo,ooo,with out any reduction in the expenditure. The relief will be purchased by an immense sacri fice, which might have been saved by resorting to the LONDON 11113ERAIAN SOCIETY. The Sixteenth Annual Meeting of this Society was held on Saturday in Freemasons Hall, where at least 1,500 Ladies and Gentlemen Nv ere assembled. Num bers were unable to obtain admission. At half-past twelve o'clock, his Royal Highness the Duke of GLOUCESTER took the Chair amidst loud acclamations. The Report of the Committee for the last year was read by the Secretary, and afforded great satisfaction. It appears that additional exertions have been made in the Si,ter Isle, which have been attended, with the most beneficial results. The schools, from 532, are increased to 575, and 80,000 Bibles and Testaments have been distributed. The Report spoke in warm terms of the exertions of the Ladies' Committee, and concluded by calling for 'additional aid to enable the Committee to extend their benevolent purposes, so much called for in the present distressed state of Ire land. Mr. WILBERFORCE, the Rev. Mr.STEVENS, Lord CALTIIORPC, the Hon. G. Non., Sir E. O'Baiax, and other Gentlemen, severally addressed the Meeting in able speeches, and expressed their admiration of the principles of the Society, which had avoided all.sec tarian and political bias. Mr. WILBERFORCE dwelt at some length on the reparation that was due from this country to ".injured Ireland," and said he was confident the measures of the Society would tend ma terially to soothe and ameliorate the condition of the, Irish. Thanks were subsequently voted to the diffe rent Patrons and Officers of the Society; after which the Treasurer read his Report, and it appears there from that the expenditure has exceeded the income. The thanks of the Meeting were then voted with loud cheers to the Duke of GLOUCEStER, who briefly re turned thanks. The Assembly broke up at half-past tour, and a liberal collection was made at the doors. . • A communication was made on Saturday at the, Stock Exchange, by one of the clerks from the Cashier's office at the Bank, to the following effect: “ That the Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank were desired, by the First Lord of the Treasury and the Cu*..xcattoa of the ExCIILQUER, to acquaint the Gentlemen of the Stock Exchange that they would be happy to receive such of them as thought proper to attend, at the Treasury Chambers, on Tuesday next at twelve o'clock, ill outer to submit to them the prnp h sed form of the contract for commuting the pennons and ball-pay allowances." This is the largest Loan ever proposed in Europe, amounting to above a Hundred Millions, payable by instalmcnts.—The competition and bidding is to be on fixed Annuities, payable for fatty-five years; con sequently those who offer to take the smallest umoinit of Annuities will be the Contractors. The security to the country for the performance will be, as in all ordinary Loans, viz, on the first and second pay ments, which be tinteited in case of non-per formance. prgirrsr:77 - -7 - , Prince Nrwrimortcu, bat their object is not knowp. An article from Alexandria, dated March 20, state, that the Turkish fleet, after landing troops at Mode m and Patras, encountered a storm, in which sevenl vessels . were lost. The following are extracts : VIENNA, APRIL 20. On the Ist of April, about noon, fires broke out pt Gaunersdorff, three stages from Vienna, on the trn,d to Brunn, and at Wallarsdorff, near Hollabruno.c in less than three quarters of an hour, reduced th e , two considerable places to ashes. The fury oft n flames, impelled by a high wind, was such that t:ic% was no possibility of checking their progress. Ti number of houses burnt at Gaunersd o rff is ab ev2 200, and at Wallarsdorff 131 houses and 70 ba:11,., In this latter town seventeen persons perished :u flames. The schools and churches in both places ar; destroyed. VIENNA, APRIL 2Q. The Austrian Observer of to-day does not mentio n the departure of M. de Tatischeff. He had an audi ence of leave of the Emperor on the day of his dept. tune. It is generally said, that his mission has been attended with complete success, though nothing p c . sitive respecting it transpires. We have only lea::,t that the dispatches brought by the extraordinary te t t. rier of M. de Lutzow, from Constantinople, sta:e2, that M. de Lutzow and Lord Sttangford exer:ed themselves to the utmost to bring the Porte to ptin. ciples of moderation; chat they have delivered urgent Notes to the Turkish .Ministry, and that the Dr.ugq. mans of the English and Austrian Legations were in continual motion, and had had several conferenc • with the chief Interpreter of the Porte, a very able it:: subtle Greek. The Ambassadors, howeve , standing their reiterated ap:rlications, had tact yet be •-. able to obtain a conference with the Reis Etle,.di.— The pretexts which that Minister employs to avoid this interview, make it presumed that the Porte per sists in its tesolution not to satisfy the demands of Russia, at the same time that it desires not to come to a rupture with England and Austi ia.—A perKa of great distinction at our Court will go, it is said, :a London, to make overtures of great importance. LEIPSIC, APRIL cl. Qur fair has began, but in a very unpromi,in7 manner. We see hardly any Poles or au,si.ins, ati very few Greeks. Our accounts from Russia and Poland s:.iii tend to war. • The Emperor Alexander is expected soot to set out from St. Petersburgh for the Army; and it ii reported that the• army of another Power will he put in motion, the Guards of which are stated to have already received orders to tha effect. Peace with i‘e Turks would be worse than wal ; their hatred to the Christians makes them violate all treaties, and Such is the anarchy that prevails in Turkey, that obeys unless he is compelled. VIENNA, Arita 23.—T0-day the Metalliques are at 74 7-16ths, the Bank Shares 662 4-sths. MENTZ, APRIL 85 . A counterpart to the story of Mr. Inveday is related by our Gazette. At Irelich, a Catholic village near Neuweid, a citizen took under his protection an orphan girl, and received iron! ti.e Authorities a legal instrument, recognizing him to be the taiiie: by adoption. The child was of Protestant parents, but kyr adopted father being a Catholic, brought her up in that religion. A few days ago he sent the child to Neuweid, to purchase some thing; she did not return ; and the father, who is much attache! to the girl, now eleven years of age, discovered that she wai with a Protestant Clergyman, who refused to deliver ht,t ur ; saying, that as her parents had been Protestants, she shwa be educated in their religion. The foster-father has brought the affair before the competent tribunal, whose decision is inipa tiently expected. The KING'S Cottage in Windsor Great Palk is now finished, and with all its improvements ready to r.:- Feive his MAJESTY and a most extensive suite of visitors, during the race week on Ascot-heath. The range of apartments newly built, and which were in tended for Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, have been assigned to the Lord High Steward and his large fa mily. The Serpentine walk, commencing with the Conservatory, is completely covered in, and adorned with creeping plants, shrubs, and flowers, so as to tally to exclude from the prying eye of curiosity, tho:e who may wish to enjoy the privilege of seclusion.
