In the early part of the morning one of the first Brokers in the market sold to a very large amount, at 63, after which a re. port prevailed that an express had arrived from Verona to the above Gentleman, with important information, stating, that the Allied Powers were determised that the King of Seem should be reinstated in all his authority. Other reports state, that the French troops on the Spanish frontiers are in motion, and orders were expected for them to enter Spain. The above reports have bad the effect of lowering the market. Consols for the Account opened at 63b, and are, up to this hour, b2l, and a heavy market. :~--"; r Ibis superior, who misemploys the armed force, in the I fallowing cases, under thepenalties affixed by law : 1. To injure the sacred person of the Kit*. it To prevent the free election or the Deputies to the Cortes. I. To hinder the meeting of the Cortes at the epochs and under oiredmstancet ordered by the Canititution. a. To suspend or dissolve the Cortes, or their Permanent Deintatian. S. To oppose any obstacle, in any way'whatever to the sittings er deliberations of the Cortes, or of its Permanent Deputation. Letters from Bayonne, dated the 19th, state, that ' s the fort of Itati, in which 400 of the Army of the Faith had entrenched themselves, was taken on the 16th. The attack, which was at first conducted with caution, and finally with boldness, was crowned with complete success. After dislodging the garrison, the Constitutionalists set fire to the fort, and completely destroyed it. It appears by letters from. Bayonne, that M. ViL- LaLa, the French Minister, has treated very cava lierly the Memorial of the Merchants of that city re specting the interruption of the Spanish mails. He did not condescend to give them any direct answer, but merely caused an intimation to be conveyed to them by the Prefect of the Department, that " the ap- prehensions of the Chamber of Commerce were wholly illusory." The Journal des Debats contains a long article on the subject of the Greeks, the first paragraph of which deserves attention, as it states, though only by way of on dits, some very important facts. The rest of the article is speculation. The paragraph is as follows " The Greeks appear to form new hopes, the con fivmation of which we shall be glad to see, but which we cannot venture to guarantee. These are the re- 1 ports in circulation :—The Sultan, it is said, has de manded, in an imperious tong, the surrender of the fortresses occupied' by the Russians on the banks of the Phasis, which Russia promised to restore after the definitive arrangement of the affairs of Moldavia and Wallachia. The Porte, it is added, has moreover intimated the expectation of a formal disavowal on the part of Russia, of all that M. de STROGONOFY stated in his notes in favour of the Greeks, and which might be regarded as a censure on the conduct of the Divan. The Porte invokes, as is asserted, the prin ciples of the grand alliance of the five Powers— , the repression of all tebellions.'" French Funds, Oct. 2.s.—Five per Cents. opened at 951. 10c. closed at 931. This forenoon we received Hamburgh Parrs to the 2134 inst. and Frankfort Journals to the 22d inst The plan of forming a Society in Frankfort for the support of the Greeks, has not obtained the sanction of the Magistrates. The Orieistal Spectator, of the 14th of last month, gives, as usual, an unfavourable view of the af- fairs of the Greeks. After alluding to some re, ported successes of the Turks in tl:e Morea, the ac count says, We are firmly persuaded that the Pe lopounesus cannot avoid its impending fate. It will be reduced, with the exception of the few Greeks who may hold out for a time in the inaccessible mountains. The present situatiln of the Greeks is lamentable; but, from the extent and nature of the country, the Turks ought not to advance with.corps, sometimes too small in number, and 'whose rash con fidence chews their contempt for the Greeks." The Is .t letters from Odessa confirm the account that Szum Pactut, with 15,000 men, has gone over to the Persians ; that several severe actions ensued, in which the Turks were totally defeated, and lost all their artillery. The following are extracts: • • , • • •p'er ... - ~~ of the adopter; consequently the latter, wren be has other legal heirs more nearly related, cannot in future leave the whole fortune to his adopted heir. _ : KALISCH, OCTOBER 9.• ''- . •It 4 reported, that - the trade with-colonial prodisee and wines, in the kingdom of Poland, is to 5e farmed, I from the Ist of January next y eat, ' as a monopoly to a Company of merchants, who-shall be authorises) to confiscate all such goods not imported for their account. By an Ordinance which has lately been issued, the a ncient regulations respecting passp orts shall be I strictly enforced in Poland and Russia, and strangers who have entered without appl)ing for the regular passport from the police of their preceding place of abode, are to be immediately sent from both States; and a Russian or Polish subject who shall receive and harbour for above a fortnight a stranger who is not duly legitimated, shall pay a fine of 2000 rubles, or, if unable to pay, shall be imprisoned for a period in proportion to this fine. _ rr F Pv•-co I FOREIGN MARKILT. The market is heavy this morning, particularly in Spanish Bonds, owing to the various reports that have been in circula. l tion. All other foreign securities remain steady. Current Prices:—Chilian Rsi, New Spanish 73, Old $66, New Peuisian 90, Old 895, littssian 895, Danish 915 92, Nea -1 ciatan 815, Scrip 82,i 85, Colombian 905 91, Scrip ditto, Peru vian 66;„ New Spanish Scrip .51. STOCK EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK. Very little business has been done within the last hour, and the minket looks heavy. ROYAL EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK. The Foreign Stocks are also heavy, with little business doing. The French Funds come 93 from Paris, by express. The French Papers of Thursday and Friday have been received, but their contents are not very impor tant. A letter from Vienna, dated the 14th, states the t the stay of the Duke of WELLINGTON and the Viscount de NIONTIIORENCT at Verona is expected to be of very short duration. The same letter observes --" There will appear, it is said, at the new Congress the representative of a Power which is not yet solemnly recognizzd, but which earnestly desires so to be.— This negociator, who will be charged with the inte rests of the insurrectional Regency of Spain,-is M. de LABRADOR, formerly King FsantxAnsis Minister at the first Congress of Vienna. His arrival has already been officially announced here to another agent- of the insurgents of Catalonia, who has for some time resided at Vienna. It appears from a Paris Journal of Thursday last, that EGUIA had the audacity, on the 15th Septem ber, to address a threatening letter, dated avowedly from Bayonne, and couched in the official language of a Commander-in-Chief, to the Constitutional Go % ernor and Commanding Officer of Pampeluna, wherein he warns him that, if a Colonel GA [WEE and some of his associates, who were taken prisoners at Tudela, should be tried and executed under the Spa nish laws, he, EGUIA, would make reprisals, and put to death two for one. This characteristic arid insulting letter drew from Don RAMON SANCHEZ SALVADOR, (Chit Politigue par interim at Pampeluna) a strong appeal to the French Prefect of the Lower Pyrennees, wherein Bayonne k situated, stating the outrageous and unlawful acts of Boum, who bad converted Bayonne into a hostile fortress against the Spanish nation, and requiring the Prefect to represent this traitor to the Court of France as an incendiary and, public criminal, who ought to be at once removed, from the frontiers. The note of Don Itastow is full of animation and becoming spirit, and it is to be hoped would have its effect with the more sober and moderate of the French Ministers, especially as the Governor of Pampeluna has been warmly supported by the Spanish Ministers in the contempt with which he cleated the menaces of EGUIA ; a Decree being issued on the 27th of September from the War Office, enjoining Don RA:uoN and the other Constitutional functionaries to pay no attention to the summonses of the Rebel Chief, but to let justice take its •nurse, and sentence to be executed without delay or hesita tion on military traitors when found guilty. It is painful to see a great' country like France , chose Government contains among its members so many enlightened men, permit, at least, its frontier towns to be made the scenes of transactions in reference to a neighbour and an ally, which it would be the last Power in Europe to tolerate as against itself. The Pilote announces the arrival of an extraordi nary courier to the English Embassy. It iesaid that be has brought intelligence from Spain that the Cortes have decreed the formation of an Army of Observation on the frontiers. This army is to be kept up as long as France shall maintain one on her part. In the Sitting of the Cortes on the 9th instant, the discussion of the Military Code, begun last Session, was again entered into, and a great number of articles agreed to. Article 5.5 is—No military man shall obey ST. PETERSBURGII, OCTOBER 4. By an order of the Emreror to the Committee for the equal distribution of the Local Taxes of this capital, all houses, shops, and gardens are subject to a new valuation, which has already received his Majesty's approbation. In consequence of this, every owner of a house, &c. must pay (reckoning from the Ist Ja nuary, 1821) one per cent. more of his income than hitherto, towards the expenses of the administration of justice, and the discharge of the city's debts. It has now been fOund that the value of all the immov able (real) property of the inhabitants of this city is 154,306,570 rubles, The increase of one per cent. makes 154,306 rubles 70 copecs. The revenues of the city will amount in future to 690,367 rubles. The poorer quarters of this city are exempt from this tax for ten years, and also from the billetting of soldiers. The Government is building barracks at its own expense for one Regiment of Infantry in the St. Pe tersburgh and Wiburg quarters of the city. Several Swiss, from Norway and the Pays de Vaud, have lately arrived at Odessa, in the neighbourhood of which they intend to settle, for the purpose of cul tivating the vine. Accounts from the German Provinces and several Governments in the interior of the Empire, especially in the Southern, state that the crops of winter corn and , garden fruits have been uncommonly large ; but that the summer corn has not turned out so well. From the 3d of August to the 12th of September there sailed from Cronstadt 264 foreign vessels, laden with Russian goods. Of these there were 146 English, 27 American, 11 Dutch, 11 Swedish, 11 Lubeck, 22 Prussian, nine French, seven Hanoverian, two Bremen, and ono Portuguese, etc. According to a Resolution, sanctioned by his Ma jesty, adopted heirs shall in future have equal claims '(only) to the inheritance with the other nearest heirs' THE KING AND A MUSEUM OF ART. It is well known that England, with all its vaunt ing about Art and its love for it, is the only State in Europe which does not possess a national Collection of Pictures. His MAJESTY, with a view to remove this national disgrace,. is said to have expressed a wish that a Museum should be erected to contain Works of Art, and to which the Public shall have free and reasonable access. The SovgnEtcrr has been an ardent collector of Pictures for many years, and the chambers of Carlton Palace exhibit some splendid specimens of all the Flemish and Dutch Masters, and the most choice and admirable pictures painted du: ing the bright era of the Italian school. These, nume rous as they are, the KING will freely contribute, to gether with the matchless Cartoons, by Raphael, now at Hampton Court, the Two Misers, in Windsor Castle, and a good selection from the Palaces at Kensington, Hampton Court, and Windsor, in addi tion to'his own. The plan is to be carried into effect under the direction of a Committee of Taste, and a power given to that Committee; by Parliament, u ith a grant of certain funds, in order that no oppor tunity of enriching the Collection by purchases (either abroad or at home) may be lost. Chambers are to be erected to -,ontain the Elgin and Phygalian Marbles, and all the rare Works of Art now in the British Mu ' seam, •so that the whole of our national treasures • may be seen at once. Saturday, at half-past three o'clock, his MAJESTY left town, in his travelling carriage and four, for Brighton. Count MUNSTER had an audience of the KING on Saturday. The Duke of YORK is on a shooting excursion at Euston Hall, the seat of of the Duke of GRAFTON ) for a few days. Lord ARTHUR HILL, M.P. has left Edinburgh for Lord R A VENSWOHTH'S seat, ltavensworth Castle, Durham. The Right Hon. Sir JOHN SINCLAIR, Bart. and Lady SINCLAIR, have left Edinburgh for the Duke of ROXBURGH'S seat, Fleurs, Kelso. J. 11. MAcrcmterr., Esq. Advocate, is appointed one of the Judges of the Court of Session in Scotland, in the room of the late Lord KINEDDER. The Earl of CT. A NCA RT V, with his family and suite, embarked yesterday-morning, at the Tower Stairs, on board a steam-vessel, for Rotterdam. DRURY-LAN E THEATRE.—Saturday night the Sus picious Husband was represented at this House. Mr. ELI.ISTON'S Ranger was given in his first style of ex .cellence. A Mr. Mance% from the Theatre at Li verpool, represented the character of Bellamy in . a most respectable manner, and was very favourably received. Mrs. DAVISON, returned to these boards, and sustained the character of Clarinda. Her merits, and especially her lady-like demeanour, are well known ; and though Time may have given her some trifling hints that none escapes his power, Mrs. Da vison acted with all her wonted ease and superiority. The audience greeted her in a manner that must have been flattering to her feelings. Cov EN T-G A RDEN.—The Tragedy of Douglas was repeated on Saturday, the hero being represented, for the second time, by Mr. MASON. The most merito• rious part of Mr. MASON'S performance was in the latter part of the quarrel scene with Glenalvon. lae there displayed a good deal of fire—but still his voice was inadequate to the expression of the powerful emotions which agitate the bosom of Douglas, whose natural warmth oftemper is increased by the consci ousness of noble birth. Considerable applause was bestowed on this portion of the Tragedy, but the ap probation was not, in any other instance, of a very energetic character. Mrs. W. CLIFFORD again re presented Lady Randolph. She *ads the part with due emphasis, but she does not identify herself with the character.. Mr. BARTLEY played Old Norval equally well as at the previous representation of the Tragedy.—The Poor Soldier and Ali Pacha concluded the evening's entertainments. Mr. BOWRlNG.—Extract of a letter from Boulogne, dated Wednesday, two o'clock :•• 44 The packet being on the point of sailing, I have only time to say, that, after a long interrogatory before the Procureur du Roi and Age Instruction, the mist au secret has been taken off Mr. Bowring, who is now enabled to see his friends, and breathe a somewhat better atmosphere. The examination related exclusively to the four young men recently executed in Paris, and had no reference Whatever to the letters and official dispatch seized on his person. It is now very generally supposed that the prisoner will be set at liberty in the course of a few days. I perceive the French Papers have been as full of this singular affair as those of London." ARCHBISHOP Trixoxsox.—Archdeacon Reeves once paying a visit to Archbishop Tillotson, observed in his library one shelf of books of various forms and sizes, the whole richly bound and finely gilt and lettered ; so he asked what extraordinary authors they w t re w ho were so remarkably distinguished by his Grace? 14 Those," said the Archbishop, " are my own personal friends ; and what is more, whom I have myself made such—for they meant to be my enemies—by the use I have made of those hints which their malice had suggested to me, and from which I have derived more profit than from the advice of my most loved and cordial friends. .1 have, there tote, as you Dm rewarded them accordingly." i .

LAW OF ENIASTNIENT. A curious case was heard on Saturday, before Mr. Cexayr, the Sitting Magistrate, at alarlborough-strter, on the n of Serjeant-Major Jones, in the military service of the East Inas Company, who brought before the Magistrate, in the custody of a police officer, George Buckloud, a young man of genteel appear ance. whom he charged as a deserter, and required his tranter to the East India Company's military depot.—The father of the prisoner appeared in the Office, and said that he was a publican, in a good line of business, in Bryan.tone-street ; and that, in the month of May, 1521, having had some angry words with his son (the prisoner), the fitter went to the East India ren dezvous in Soho, and enrolled himself there (but by giving a wrong address) as a private soldier, and received, according to custom, the advance of one shilling, which was in part of the enlistment money. The father submitted, that as no more than the shilling had been paid, and as his son had never been formally admitted into the service, which he could not be until after he had passed the surgeon's examination, and likewise as he had never been attested before a Magistrate, nor received any uniform whatever, they had no right to consider him as a duly enlisted soldier, and consequently as a deserter. Mr. CONANT, from the nature of the case, appeared at first to think lightly of it, and not to be a case requiring any harsh step towards the party; but the Serjeant-Major stated that be was required to make the application under the 16th clause of the Mutiny Act. Upon reference to that Act, It appeared that a party enlisting, and taking the shilling, does not thereby be come absolutely enlisted, but has by the clause four days allowed him to consider of the step he has taken, and that he can, within that time, and previous to his attestation before a Magistrate, divest himself before any Justice of the Peace of the responsi bility he has incurred, upon the payment of 20s. in the shape of a fine, besides the ls. advanced to him. But that after the four days, this reservation to the party lapses, and he is, in failure of dissent within that time, considered to be a regularly enlisted soldier, and liable to all the provisions of the Mutiny Bill. The father renewed his appeal to the Magistrate, and offered to pay the fine and the expenses; but Mr. CONANT said, that the particular clause of the Act was imperative, and left hint no power but to consign the party to a military tribunal, his offence being purely military.—The man was remanded accordingly. Gorge Morley, another young man who had enlisted, but who had gone through all the regular forms of attestation, and had been stationed at the Depot at Chatham, was also charged as a deserter. He at Once admitted the fact, and was handed over to his corps. The Caledonian Canal was opened from sea to sea ou Wednesday last. Sunday sennight, Campbeltown was visited by the Catholic Bishop of Lismore, who is now on a tour of confirmation in the West Highlands ; a number of persons received the Sacrament of Confirmation. It ss upyrards of 200 years since a Catholic Bishop was there for the same purpose. • -*7
