The only vlbject of domestic interest is the progress made by M. de VII.I.LLE in the conversion of the rentes. The Minister is straining every nerve to carry his point; but it is clear that he will fail. The new Three per Cents. continue to rise ; but the only purchases are made for the Sinking Fund, and as the stock is very limited in extent, the seller can obtain what price he pleases. The intelligence from Portugal is favourable to the wisdom and liberality of the present Ministry. By the inquence of this country they bare been induced to begin a sstem of commercial policy calculated to revive the in dustry and promote the welfare of t h e Portuguese people. We stalijoin the extract cantaining an account of the Royal Edict on this occasion. The correspondence from Madrid, in these papers, men tions the departure of M. Acts AGRO, the Spanish Commis . sion.A., for London. The project of a forced loan, it is stated, was too ruinous even for the Government of FER DIN AND. The late Vi:teroy of Peru, LASERNA, was to leave Bayonne on the 19th, on his return home. Wagers had been laid that he would be put upon his trial a week after his arrival at Madrid. [From the Courrier Francais, of Jane 24.) LISBON, JUNE 8. [Pitrtarx CONNEIPONDENCE.I The influence of the English policy is more and more felt in our councils, and produces In the sets of our government results advan tageous to our commerce and our manufactures. Our Cabinet has just taken the first step to renounce the system of absolute prohi bition which kept from our ports a great part of the ships of Eu rope. A duty of 39 per cent. is established in the room of complete exclusion in a vast number of articles, the consumption of which has become indispensable, and which could not be procured except by smuggling. Such are silks, ornaments, tissues worked with gold or silver, , laces, false stones, and beads of all colours, cloths. stuffs, of all cauctries, except those of England and Holland. Henceforward, cumpetitims will be open to all nations, and the consumer will gain by it. These measur, s brought into harmony with our new rela tions wiet Brazil, cannot fail to raise our commerce from the state of stagnation, or rather of nullity, to which it is reduced. The prea mble of the Edict, which introduces a more reasonable system, deserves to be quoted, as it is calculated to show the new spitit which animates the Government. It is as follows.— " I, the King, make known to all those who shall see the present Edict, that considering the inconveniencies which result from retain ing laws, the enactments of which were salutary when they were adapted to the usages. customs, and circumstances of the times of their publication, but which have become incompatible with the nor usages and wants, which the course of time has introduced into afieicty, think fit and order the following to be obsorved :" This is assuredly the same doctrine that has lately been as serted in the House of Commons, by Messrs. Canning, Peel, and Iluskirson. The several articles follow : Article I recapitulates the prohibitory laws and ordinances: in the 2d, are excepted some articles compmed in those laws and ordinances, among which are sword canes, pocket pistols, sod a ll kinds of spiritous liquors. Article 4is the most important. " The l same articles," it says, '• which were prohibited, and which are at, this moment admissible in the two ports of Lisbon and Oporto, shall pay the duty and imposts in the ports in which they shall enter, according to the regulations laid down to that effect at present (35 per rent.) or which shall be in force in future. The duties shall hr paid according to the estimates made of the price on the day when th e y are despatched from the Custom-house, or by auction which may be made for the greater security and regularity of the, payments. Art. 5 extends to the Azusa, Madeira, and the Cape de Vend Islands. the remilations laid down for Lisbon and Oporto. Another Edict, of the same date, suppresses the duty on the ix. "- _. -- , . '‘ . . portados of silt by Portuguese vessels, Old rakes* 11 to 300 nab I (Tees) per moyo, hatted of KW The export dui. 41 wine is reduced one-half. It is useless to observe, that this Edict has been issued imme diately after the departure of Sir Charles Stewart for Brazil. Most certainly before his arrival here our Cabinet would not have pub ' lished such doctrines upon commerce, and would not have failed te extend any measure that it might have thought fit to adopt, to the ports of Braid, which no longer depend on Portugal, as well as to the other colonies which are still in its possession. (From the Bloik, dated Saturday, June 26.1 MILAN. JUNI 13. The Emperor of Austria having staid at Genoa till the 7th, has passed the lElordielta, and visited some small towns between that chain and the Po, and is arrived at Pania. His Majesty is expected here immediately. Prince Metternich, the dfarquis of Caraman, M. de Tatischeff, Sir 11. Wellesley, and Prince Ilatzfeld, have re turret! for Genoa. We do not know whether Count Latour, Sar dinian Minister for Foreign Affairs, who hsd many conferences at Genoa with Prince 3lettemich. will come here. It was said his Sardinian Majesty would visit the Emperor, as soon as be returned to this city.

They state that the Congress at Milan was concluded, and that M. Dir GENTZ, who had acted as Secretary, had passed through Inspruck on the Bth, on his return to Vienna. The following extract is from the Allgemeine Zeitueg of the 19th of June _ _ Faow TUE SOUTH OE FIANCE. JUNE 9. ' We have now accounts from Alexandria in Egypt of the 11th of April, according to which the Viceroy was at Cairo, engaged in or ganizing a numerous corps, intended to join the expedition of his son, lbtahim Pachs. Some regiments of this corps, the amount of *hide is stated at eight or nine thousand men, were already corn. pieta, and were daily exercised in the use of their arms. The re- mainder were also to be ready to march in a few weeks. It did not appear likely, however, that they could embark before the end of May, or the beginning ofJuna, even if the naval armaments were ready by that time. In this corps are all the French, Neapolitans, Piedinontese, litc. who served in Spain under the Constitu tional Government, and when that was overthrown repaired to Egypt to serve in the army of the Viceroy, and are not with Ibra him's troops in the Mores. As these individuals went for the most part singly to Egypt, after long wanderings and trying their for. tunes elsewhere, they could not form a separate corps, but are for the most van placed as officers in the regiments of Arabs or tie groes. No doubts were entertained at Alexandria of the success of Ibrahim in the Mores; his landing and his pretended advance had been publicly announced. On the other hand, we have re ceived dirtctiy certain accounts of the destruction of the greater part of the Egyptian fleet by Itliaulis and Canaris ; and Greek ac— counts unanimously affirm that Ibrahim Pacts, who in a most dis tressed situation in the Peloponnesus, has since endeavoured to open fresh negotiations, in order tube permitted to retire unmolested from the Mores with his troops; but that nothing had been concluded. The Greek Government, it is said, insists that Ibraham, as Com ' slander-in-Chief of all the Turkish corps, shall stipulate in the proposed convention the delivering up of Patras, Lepanto, and the castles of the Mores, and send the necessary orders to the Goner nors. This latter is said to be a main subject of the negotiations. After all, the rights of the Spanish bondholders will not be bartered away. The principle of composition, on which the new loan was to have been founded, is abandoned, and the contractors have insisted upon the recognition of the bonds at their full value. This is what should have been done in the first instance. If it had, we have no doubt that the question would have been settled long ago. As it is, the whole subject must continue yet some time in suspense. The delay that will take place, whatever it may be, is decidedly beneficial to the bondholders. FERDINAND must do them complete justice. We wish, however, that the contractors had so managed their negotia tion with him, that there had been no appearance of bad faith on their part. They ought never to have proposed a composition. The Times states, that M. ALMAGRO, the Spanish Commissioner, had " mistaken the project, or rough draught of a contract, for one fully ra tified." This statement is itself a mistake—the contract was concluded, as we have stated, on the 27th ult., at Ma drid. The King of Sr AIN then acceded to the terms on which the contractors offered to furnish him with a loan. It remained then only to issue the new bonds, for which purpose M. ALMA:;no came to London. It is still fresh in the memory of every one connected with the commerce of the British Empire, that in 1810 the paper circulation of Great Britain had increased to an ex cessive and alarming degree. In many parts of the con tinent of Europe, a gold guinea commanded twenty-eight shillings of English paper money, and the general belief then was, that precious metals could not be found sum.. ciently abundant to supply a circulating medium for the ordinary transactions of the commercial world. It was in that year that Mr. lioairca, whose memory, although be died in the prime of life, will hold a conspicuous station in the financial history of his country, prevailed on the House of Commons to grant him a Committee to inquire into the state of the currency. The eminent services per formed by this Committee have long ago been universally admitted. By the most laborious research, much useful knowledge was acquired, of which no part was more, valuable than the documents which were procured respect • mg the produce of the American mines. These papers were printed for the general information of the community; they are founded on the best authorities, and extracts of them must be important at a time when, through the pro.- gress of civilization, the Americans have gained independ ence, and are closely linked by the strongest tics of interest to the people of England.

It is impossible to contemplate the unbounded sources of wealth and prosperity which the liberation of America opens to its 'own population, and also to the nations of Europe. Whilst the Western Continent was subject to Spain and Portugal, it was only supplied with slaves from Africa, with soldiers and convicted felons from the Pe ninsula, and with lefew high priced goods for the consump tion of Viceroys, Captains-General, and other European officers. The natives were oppressed by a system of the most insufferable despotism ; their industry was paralysed by the exactions to which it was subject, and safety, either of person or property, was unknown. The scene, how ever, is now changed. The labourer is well rewarded for his toil, and his earnings are protected by free and whole some laws. The mining wealth of these vast regions will I no longer lie hidden and neglected. British skill and 1 capital will be applied to unfold all their resources. The mines will in future be worked en the most approved prin ciples, and their produce, according to Mr. Ilumaotnr, will be tripled. The Real del Monte, the Tlalpuxahua, the Anglo-Mexican, and the United Mexican Associations are in full operation, and that for working the mines of Colombia has commenced its proceedings. Great progress has already been made, although not more than one million and a half has yet been remitted across the Atlantic, and not one quarter of the total sum subscribed will be required to put into activity the dormant energies of the people of the American Continent. The manufacturers of Manchester, Glasgow, and Birmingham will reap the advantages of American prosperity, and a short period only will be necessary to demonstrate tho great value and importance of these undertakings to the general welfare of mankind, and primarily and especially to our own country men. Every advance made in numbers and riches by the twenty-two millions of emancipated Americans will create a fresh demand for the products of British industry, and open a wider scope for the arlployment of the increasing wealth and population of this great Empire. The readers of the Times were; surpised on Saturday by the appearance of a long and grave homily on the evils of jobbing and gambling in Foreign Loans, and the shares of Joint-stock Companies. The principles which the writer of this article lays down are perfectly unobjec tionable. We wonder only at the peculiar earnestness he manifests, in urging them at this particular period. What has recently occured, that this writer should feel it his duty to draw up a bill of indictment against the mer chants of London, as a body who are generally sunk to that state of " moral debasement which obscures the faculty of judgment ?" There was a time, four or five months ago, when !speculation ran to an enormous height. The fever lasted but a very abort time, and at this moment scarcely any of the shares of the new Companies arc at any premium worth mentioning, except three or four, which are known to be in an advanced state, and presumed to be producing considerable profits. If any new companies are brought out, their shares fall immediately to a discount. Yet, this is the moment selected by the 7 imes to represent the spirit of gambling as having degraded the character of the City "to thelowest point of moral depravity !" While the mania raged with the greatest violence, the Times was silent as the grave, with regard to the evil; but now that it has passed by, when the public mind is quite cool and sober, the virtuous indignation of the Times knows no limits. To what are we to ascribe this new-born zeal against dishonourable practices? Why did not the Times attack the evil when it was in existence ? No one in timately acquainted with what is distinctively termed the " City," will pretend that there is much present danger of fraudulent associations. Had the managers of the Times reasons of their (new for their silence at the period when, if ever, they should have spoken out? Have they not now reasons of their owl for venting their spite in the shape of a general libel on the " City ?" If they have, it is right that we should uncloak their de sign and expose their hypocricy. It is well known that a charge has been made very freely against a " great speculator", that during the panic in the Funds, three or four weeks ago, he recommended his friends to follow a course precisely the reverse of that which he was following himself ; in other words, he advised them to buy while he was selling. What foundation there may have been for this charge, we, - who have never had reason to flatter ourselves with being in the confidence of this great person age, have no means of ascertaining ; hut it is some what remarkable that in company with this rumour, another was current, viz, that among the " friends" who, as the Times feelingly states, were " betrayed into pur chases of stock in order that he might sell his own to greater advantage," were some of the parties who hare the " City" department of the Times mote particularly under their management. This report we had disregarded as a malicious satire on the unsullied purity of the " lead ing journal :" but we confess our suspicions are now more than excited. The Times, who have suddenly imbibed so just an abhorrence of the fraudulent artifices of jobbing and gambling, observes that " they are reprobated by those who have suffered, and would have been practised with the same hope of gain by those who now reprobate them most loudly." This is perfectly natural, as we have no doubt the writer knows it to perfectly true. No man is more angry at being cheated than he who falls into the trap he was setting for others. We are not of the number of those who have been found at any time administering to the public appetite for specu- , ,',. • . .

It is one of the worked. The above quantities were assayed and stamped evil passions of human nature, continually showing itself in by the Portuguese Governnaent ; but a vast deal was also some form or other, and perhaps inseparable from the very smuggled. nature of commercial transactions. It should certainly be repressed as far as possible, but we can hardly hope to de stroy it altogether. All fraudulent contrivances in getting up join t-stock companies, or issuing loans, deserve exposure in every possible way. If they have been carried to the extent stated by the Time:, the law would reach the parties concerned ; and it could not be more usefully administered than in punishing them. We coincide in the opinion, that many respectable persona have lent the sanction of their names in some cases too hastily, though unquestionably if it were "for the sake of profit," as the Times grossly asserts, we could not regard them much as " men of honour." There may have been some, however, who have fallen into these projects " for the sake of profit," and for the " sake of profit" alone. There may be some who have made assiduous application for shares of all the Foreign Loans and new Companies, 1 1 without reference to their character or merits. What should we think of the sincerity of these parties, if, be cause they were at last themselves duped by the ma noeuvtes in which they hoped to participate, they should set un for teachers of public virtue? CITY, SATURDAY ETIMING. A large portion of business was transacted in the British Funds this morning, and the prices were exceedingly firm, vis.—Consols for the opening 91jj, and the Reduced Annuities 90j 91. Money is even now getting more plentiful, and the near approach of the payment of the dividends, which will necessarily make it still easier, leads to the expectation that Consols will fully maintain themselves at their present quotations. In the Foreign Illarket the chief attention of speculators wax directed to Spanish securities; the reports being diame trically opposite to each other, and opinions the same, large transactions took place according to the varied views of the different parties, in the absence of all real knowledge with regard to the ex pected Loan. The Bonds declined considerably, the Old being at 2ljj, and the New at 16, 16., 17. There was a partial re-action in Greek &sip , which got back to 10Ij discount. The Ronda were , 489.

FALL or Cattao.—Captain Mortimer, of the Vulture, arrived at Liverpool from Puerto Cabello, states, that the agent of the vessel, at the moment of his departure, in formed him that an express had just arrived from Bogota, bv way of Valencia, bringing the intelligence that Bolivar hail taken the fortress of Callao by storm, and put the whole to the sword. The Captain does not bring any papers. A vessel called the Picton was to sail for Liverpool a few days afterwards ; and, as she is a fast-sailing brig, she may be hourly expected. By a gentleman arrived at Plymouth, from New South Wales, we 'cal n that every thing is going on very pro sperously, and time inhabitants enjoy good health and ge neral content. Many settlers are making rapid fortunes. Such is the commercial prosperity of the settlement, that but few commodities arc now supplied from India ; from whence, however, many persons of distinction came to inhale the more bracing a:r of Sydney, to the desirable end of repairing their health. Intelligence from Hayti, according to a Baltimore Paper of the 23d of May, represents that great dissatisfaction pre vailed among the emigrants, on account of their anxiety to return to the United States. The President Boyer, it is added, was as eager to get them out of the island. as he had been before to get them into it, and had signed seve ral hundred passports in one day, in furtherance of that object. General Canterac has addressed a letter to the Editor of Tile Memorial Bardelais, denying, ihr Wee, the epistle from i himself to Bolivar, which lately appeared in the London Papers, and which, had it been authentic, would have done so much credit to him. He says be had no other commu- I nication with Bolivar than a mere letter of etiquette, " the contents of which were so simple, that he wrote it without making a first copy, or even keeping a duplicate." There is a Bill before Parliament to enable such persons as his Majesty may be pleased to call to the degree of a Sergeant-at-Law, to take upon themselves that office in vacation. The Bill to prevent the vexatious removal of indict ments, and to empower the presiding Judge to pass sen tence on defendants convicted at Nisi Prim:, has been printed. This was a very desirable measure. Hencefor ward no prosecutor will be able to remove any indictment or presentment, without notice to the parties indicted, and by motion before a Judge of the King's Bench, as defend ants are obliged to do when they apply for such a purpose. B 7 another clause it is enacted, that when issue shall be tned at Nisi Prins, and the defendant found guilty, the 'Judge may, with the defendant's consent, pass sentence forthwith. The Session of Parliament draws rapidly to a close.— There are no Notices of Motions, nor Orders of the Day, standing in the Order Book of the House of Commons, beyond to-day. `The John Bull states that the prorogation of Parliament will take place next Saturday, when his Majesty will per form the ceremony of prorogation in person. A meeting will be held to-day, at the Middlesex Hospi tal, Lord R. Seymour in the chair, for the purpose of pro moting a subscription for the sufferers at the late dreadful fire in the neighbourhood of Cavendish-square. Lora William C.
