V.'e yesterday stated that the victory ascribed to the t:reAs, at Samos, bad now become me certain that no doubt cltilti reasonably exist on the subject. We find that the Lebiers of Greek Scrip are of the sameopinion. Yestenlay, in the course of the day, the Greek Securities rose rapidly, w:tl steadily, anti sonic sales were made so high as 7 per cert. above what they Lad been prior to the intelligence. Ti.is is of importance, as the Greek Fonds have for the 'nest pArt passed from the hands of the great capitalists of C:ity into those of the public at large, and consequeudy we not liable to sudden and unexpected fluctuations from vets vague rumour, which they would have been in the Lands of those who make a trade of money-jobhing. There ! :en no additional news from Greece to-day ; but any ft.-tiltr accounts of the success of the Christian cause, 11.1.iLt necessarily produce a correToniling rise in the Se curities of the Grecian Patriots. 11 - c had lately occasion to advert to the crooked and si-.ert-sighte al policy of our neighbours and allies, the Date:. in making a code of commercial regulations, which v...-Leany excludes the trade of this country from their colon'es in the East. We are glad to learn from a gentle 'Air. who has lately left Holland, that upon the faith of data r...ost unwarrantable enactment, the merchants of Rot teTdara and Amsterdam have already fitted out no lees tnin twelve vessels for Batavia. We have no doubt that' tram the quantity of Elm. : CSR goods which must already Live been thrown into the Japanese market, the owners of these ship! will sutra severely ; and we bare no hesitation c. confessing that we most heartily rejoice at the prospect of their losses. A ration which can he indueoll, front the. her s of commercial advantage, to break through every obliaptlon, deserves to suffer, both individually anal collectively; and the sooner adversity teaches the Dutch Gawrrraent that they cannot practice injustice, and the Dutch merchant that he cannot take advantage of time injustice of his Government, with impunity, the betty both tor aemsclres and the rest of the world. rumour which Or late prevailed on 'Change, of a tench fleet in the South Atlantic, we a..r sorry to learn., 1. is cstvad some alarm at Lloyd's for the safety of English a-. 1 Wrath American ships in those seas. We look upon th.s fear as quite groundless, as our late papers from the United Staten inform us that an independent cruiser had esptu.red four Spanish vessels under the very guns of a French all'p of war, without th!" slightest iv:olestation or 1- 1 * ..7 10 , resistance on the part of the latter; and this too, after the Frenchman had equivocated respecting these vcstels, and, ind►ed, bad cctaally tohl the South American that the ships in question were French; nor was it until after a Isheet scrutiny that they were found to be Spanish. The associated Whigs who are to meet cm Monday at Chester, are, it appears, yet in doubt what principles it is advisable to profess. The " Declaration" to which we adverted last week has been disavowed as the act of the Club. " One of :be Committee" states, that it is " merely declaratory of the sentiments of the Committee ;" and he adds, that" it may be desirable, in justice to the Club, to comet the false impression" which may result from its publication. But we will give his h ttcr entire, lest we should be accused of inventing nonsense, for the sake of putting it into the mouth of this learned Theban:— " NORTH-WESTERN IVIII6 CLUB , " Str.—The publication of the 'Declaration of Prlnc!plcs • in your and other newspapers, before that ps7er had.underpone the correction, or received the suction, of the Whig Club, to whom it is submitted, is altogether premature; amt the paper in querbon (hitherto) merely declaratory of the sentiments of the Committee Isthich framed it. It may be desirable, in justice to the Club, to correct any false impression consequent upon such premature pub lication. " Your obedient Servant, " Oct. 5, Inn "ONE OF TILL' COMMITTEE." So then, though this " North-I'cstern Whig Club" was instituted in 1820, and though a Committee has been specially sitting for upwards of two years, to find out what are the principles it would be expedient to say, as Whigs, they hold, any publication is as yet "altogether premature." The Committee may indeed know their own sentiments, but nobody yet knows what are the principle, of the Club; and " One of the Committee" is anxious that no injustice should be done to the Club, by the " false impression con sequent upon such premature publication." This is I l almost too absurd for laughter. Ilhet ! Do not the Cheshire Whigs know why they formed themselves into a Club? Does it require the assiduous labours of four years to enable them to arrive at a correct knowledge of what brought them together as a body ? How came they to unite, If they really know not why they associated? Surely they must have had some object. Why was It not de clared when they founded their Club four years ago? What necessity is there for this " Peelaration of Principles" now? What difficulty can there be in honest men plainly telling what they mean ? But the Committee, in stating their " sentiments," have, little as they raid, avowed more than the great body of Whigs think it dis creet to publish. The Committee, in their Declaration, looking back at the foundation of the Club, observe, that it was instituted " at a period (1820) when the disastrons condition of the country had convinced many of the wisest and best men that some change of system was necessary." Here we have the mystery cleared up. The hopes of the Whigs were raised by the audacity of the Radicals. The dangers of the State, they thought, would render it ne cessary to put in requisition the talents of these " wisest and best" of men. " Some change of system was nee:s sary"—wbich, being interpreted from the Whig longue:7, signifies that in their opinion some charge of Ministry was probable. This was the point on which they were all agreed, though they never have been, ncr perhaps ever will, be agreed as to their " principles." But disaffection and turbulence no longer exist. Content and order are restored, and with them prosperity. Is " some change of system" still " necessary ?" " . Yes," say the Cheshire Whigs, " more necessary than ever, at least er. If we bad been in power, there would have been no reverses during the war, no distress on the return of peace. The commerce of the country thrives now, it must be confessed ; but if we were in power, it would thrive ten fold ! Yon need not doubt us—we assure you it would ; though, to say the truth, we arc not agreed as to one single principle of policy on which we should procecd: and if any one of us vys we are, in justice to the Club' do not be lieve hita!" Adieu, my Lord t;ROSVENOIt and the rest Of the North-Western Whig Nobility. Publish your " De claration of I'rii.ciplcs" when it will produce no " fable impression ;" but as friends we advise you to beware how you court the alliance of the Radicals. The Dutch Ambassador transacted business on Thursday at the Fereign Mice. Lord Viscount Granville left town on Thursday night for l'aris, accompanied thither by Mr. 'Williams, one of the King's Messtugets. It is said that WA Lordship is the teary: of a letter of condolence from his Majesty to the King of France, on the death of the late Monarch. The packet ship Crisis, Captain M'Mamu, sailed from Cowes on Thursday, for New York, with Anthony St. John :taker, Esq. his Msdestj's Consul-fit:nun' to the United States, sister, and servants ; also with other passen gers. A letter from Seville, of the 18th ult. has been received, from which it appears that the Spanish Government had engaged six Lattsports, then lying at l'uerta Santa Maria, for the purpolte of proceeding to Ferrol, where 3out) troops would be embarked for the tiara:malt. A letter - from Paris states, that the project for reducing the interest of the RenLs has been altogether abandoned, and that a new lean of t;00,009,000 francs, as 3 per cent. is to be &salmi:well for it, the interest of which will be paid out of the sinking fund. This fund, which amounts at present to t•J tn:llions of francs, would be tints reduced to 36, which would be employed to buy up the 5 per cents. when they should be under par, and when above, to re deem the 3 per cents. By this ineascre edicient means of indemnifying the emigrants would be obtained without creating public discontent. The project of indemnification will, it is said, be certainly brought forward in the course of the next Session of the'Legislaittre.—Rri:ids TrartNer. In consequence of the arrival of despatches front Lisbon, time Portugu.se and Brazilian Commiss‘oners have Levin menced their sittings.

UNION OF THE Tuawas •HD MIDWAY.-.4E is with great satisfaction we are enabled to announce, that the grand union between the rivers Thames and Medway will be effected very shortl by means of the largest tunnel, we believe, in the wotl d. This great public undertaking commences immediately from the port of London, below Gravesend, whore there is a large rive. lock, capable of am:mit:file vessels of two hundred tons into a capacious burin, with commodious wharfage. The canal, which is fifty feet wide and seven feet deep in water, passes through the marsh bnils to the village of HI ham, a distance of nearly five miles, where the tunnel begins, which is twenty-two feet wide on the water level, and eight feet deep at spring tides ; twenty-four feet six inches high from the water surface to the apex of the arch, with a towing path tire feet wide, firmly protected by means of a cast iron and timber railing. The tunnel continues under the chalk hills for a distance of upwards of two miles, where it terminates in a very large basin, commantkal by a lock entering into the river Medway, and capable of receiving vessels of three hundred tons. The whole length of this canal, from the river Thames to the Medway, is only seven miles and a quarter, art by this very short line all the circuitous, tedious, and oftentimes dangerous passage round the Nore is avoided, thereby saving a distance of at least from forty to tirtv miles. 'thus the communication from the interior of Kent with the north of England is made easy and safe, and at a comparatively trifling ex pense, with the advantage of a mote certain passage, as well as a considerable saving in wear and tear of sails tackle, Ric. This important line also opens a cemmunica tion from Tonhridge, by means of the Regent's and Grand Junction Canals, to Branstone, in Northamptonshire, for the same-sized craft, without any trans-shipment of goods, which may be forwarded to any of the northern ports of England. Craft from seven to eighteen feet beam can navigate the whole line, which it is obvious will secure to inland commerce incalculable advantages. Mason CAATWOIGIIT.—The will of the venerable Major Cartwright passed und u e the seal of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury • the personal effects sworn to be under eight hundredpottntl. The following remarkable clause appears therein To my country, anxiously de siring her welfare, I leave e fervent wish for such neces sary, deep, and salutary reforms in her Institutions, as would net oniy restore her last freedom, but purify from the odiousness and debasement of unfaithfulness anti cor ruption, all her public departments. By a complete resto ration of her genuine polity (which I have endeavouml to place before her eyes), she mielit, in my humble judg ment, so correct the morals and the habits of her people, as to establish on a solid awl enduring basis, her future liberty, prosperity, and renewn. To this end site must cease to fellow the example of conquering States, which, from small beginnings, become what may be considered as vast pyramids absurdly resting on their points, with their broad foundations in time air ; from the unnaturalness of winch petition they necessarily fall in ruins, misery. and contempt. irilen'England shall restore the simplicity of her original polity, she will have a basis sufficient for sta bility, felicity, and glory ; and then, instead of insanely making her state to resemble an inverted pyramid, she, by merely colonising on her own natural, sound, constitutional principles, may spread to a wide extent confederate nation., sincere friends to her welfare, firm supporters of her great ness ; and, in place of jealous rivals er secret and insidious enemies of her i.•pose. she would raise up around her wil ling ministers ef her aggrendizemer.t.'

A considerable influx of company took place .yesterday ; near twenty carriages arrived with fataiiies and parties. Suffolk House is taken for Lady Willoughby, who is ex pected daily to arrive. Mr. Downier made his first appearance at the Theatre last night, in the character of Dr. Clothed!, in the comedy of The Hppoerite. This evening he is to perform Sir Juhia Eils!qt7; in The .11trry 117 res of Wi n d o w. This morning the Commissioners appointed under the l Act of Parliament for regulating the affairs of this town, held their monthly meeting at the Fleece Inn. The prin cipal wider discussion was an application from Jo sel)11 Pitt, Esq. M.P. for making an opening from High met t, by pulling down two houses, and throwing Portland passage into a public thoroughfare to join Portlanki-strut, which is to be the principal line of road leading to the pro jected new town of Cheltenham, to be built on the estate of Mr. Pitt, for.which he hat sold the land at a consider able advantage. The estimates for the purchase of the pre mises, land, &e. necessary for the new opening, after allow ing for the advantages of the new frontages, left a debt of axon!. upon the town. No decision was came to on this important question, it being adjotuned to the next monthly meeting. Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, a meeting of the Auxiliary Hibernian Society was held at the King's Ohl Weil Rooms. the use of which, and other accommodations. were gratuitously given by Mr. Joseph Chanibers, one of the proprietors ; Counsellor Singer was called to the chair ; he stated, that except in very large towns, in Ireland, there was no such thing as a bookseller's shop, which. in some degree, accauntel for the want of knowledge among the people. The Rev. Mr. Webster, of Tavistock Chapel, Broad court, Long-acre, London, attended from the parent insti tution, and gave a circumstantial account of the state and progress of the Society, which was instituted for teaching children to read, and for the distribution of the New Testa ment in Ireland. The Rev. Gentleman reported, that from the documents of the Society it appeared that there were in Ireland abont 1,100 schools, containing tts,ooo children, over whom were upwards of 200 inspectors, consisting of members of the Established Church, a number of Roman Catholics, and ten dissenting Ministers. A number of appropriate resolutions were paned. It was justly urged that the inhabitants of the town were particularly called man to ameliorate the condition of the Irish, as thousands were constantly being expenaLil here by wealthy and distinguished visitors from that country. , The Society have distributed 15,000 New Testaments since its recent formation.—The children have increased about 20.000 during the last year. The operatic department of Covent-garden theatre is likely to be ably supported this season. Mr. Peamaan has been re-engaged ; since his return from Atneries he has much improved in his style. We understand that for some months he has been improving himself under the tuition of the celebrated Vircillini, the instructor of Miss Paton. Mr. Win.

Ma. lIATNZ AND Miss FOOTE.—Thit marriage, it ap pears, is off: The Devizes Gazette gives the following singular • planation of this grievous ointment :— " " The lovely actress, who a few days since was wi:liin an teen of being united to a wealthy Commoner residing in this county, is at the present moment full a noon from be ing so. The morning appointed for the happy event had arrived ; a sumptuous breakfast was provided by the father of the intended bride ; the clergyman was in waiting; and nothing but the presence of the gentleman was wanting to consummate the ceremony. It appears that he had came to town fur the express purpose, and had taken up his resi dence at Long's lintel, to which place, after the appointed hour had elapsed, a messenger was despatched, when it wet found that his friends, averse to the match, had locked lain in his chamber. Under a similar confinement the messen ger was immediately placed ; and a second messenger, who .soon after arrived, glared the like fate. At length some of the lady's friends went in quest of the lover, and reached Lof's just at the moment he was stepping into his ear riage, which conveyed him into the counter. Thus has terminated the hopes of Mr. Foote and 'his beautiful daughter." Mr. Fees:l-err or.—We have the following remarkable anecdote inspecting this unfortunate person from a quarter on which we can rely :—" It is now about twenty years since a young officer applied to the bank of Messrs. Marsh, Straeey, and Co., and presented a bill for 000 L to be dis counted. Many respectable names appeared as parties to the bill, amongst which was the name of a late Noble Earl of the sister kingdom, Lark K--. Mr. Fauntlerov ' see ing so respectable a signature attached to it, advances i sixty pounds upon it, which was the sum asked for by the appli cant. Subsequently it appeared that the bill had been forged by a young gentleman of respectable connections, who had got an appointment to a regiment, but who would have lost it for want of meats to procure an outfit, and in the exigency of the moment had recourse to this desperate c p.tdient. Mr. Fauntletoy prosecuted the investigation of the matter, and detected the culprit, who had been ena bled, by means of the supply which his guilty conduct had procured for him, to join his regiment. The Noble Lard whose name bad been forged, of course, heard of the trans action ; he inquired into the cireutestances of the yours man, and finding that he hid up to that time borne a spot less reputation, rescued him from the penalty of the law, by paying the amount which Mr. Feuntlerov had advanced, and it is but justice to Mr. Fauntleroy to add, that through out the transaction he evinced an earn( it desire to co-ope rate with the Noble Peer in his erroneous, but scarcely re prehensible benevolence towards this unfortunate ofSeer. The name of the young men remains, we believe. a secret locked up in the breast of Mr. Fauntleroy, as Lord K— is since dead, and, as might be supposed, never revealed it. He subsequently, we learn, became, and is now, a Fie!tl Officer, and the propriety of his conduct has proved him not unworthy of the compassion and forgiveness which had been extended to him. Marlborough-street was again crowded to excess yester day, under the idea that Mr. Fauntleroy would have no elerg,one another examination. The situation in which he stands does not appear to be generally understood. The fact is, he already stands committed on two distinct charge's, and may not be again brought up, should the Bank be ad vised that, ter the ends of public justice, enough has already been done. In that can, he wili be removed to N‘wgate on the general removal 'ley. Cure or LINDON GENERAL.

Tile following is an extract of a letter from Newark, Macquarie River : " Van Diemen's Land. March S. " I have now an opportunity of addressing you from try own farm, so miles in the interior, having obtained a grant from Government of 700 acres, which, with the back runs on the hills, is equal to 1,000.

It is to the expectation of the increase of circulation from this source that is to be ascribed the hi:lts:atc of cre dit of the English Fonds, which for some time 'mat have been gratlualiy improving in value. It is also said to he in the contemplation of Government, before the terininaeina of the present year, to reduce the amount of Exchequer bins in circulation by about 1.000,0n0i. From these causes, combined with the payment of the. October elividendi, and those due on the various foreign loans, now wowing to a very considerable amount, an influx of capital into the ir.ar ket for investment must take Vac:: to an extent ciders known at one period. Its effects on the value of Govern ment Securities, will, however, depend cn the confidence felt in the permanence of political tranquillity.
