FRIDAY, tEPTEMLIEB 16, 1845. , The French Papers vvrittTrTived last night contain some curious and interesting details respecting the alleged solicitation of the creeks for the protection of the English diovernment. Some of the facts stated are so obviously untrue, that we can give no credit to arty of them till they are confirmed by snore authentic intelligence. la is 'aid, for example, that the English " have dist:lama in all the islands very argent prorlamitions. podtittely iftitiog Iles Greeks to give themselves up to them ;" and again, that " on due eith of August a Greek expedition sealed from Napoli tX sed ittioli nfa for Crete,consisting of eight large m isti es, •WI . schooner, with 8,000 troops on board, paid by . C HAMILTON, doubtless with the list loan re i ceitrod from London." Every body must see that these • •eterriagant assertions are wholly destitute of foundation. Use Neutrality professed by the English Government has . hitherto been, and no doubt will continue to be, strictly and honourably observed. Yet here the English Govern ment, to what end no one can imagine, is represented to have " thrown off' the mask," and taken a sudden, active, and decided part in the war! It is, perhaps, true, that under the momentary pressure of despair, the Greek Government deemed It advisable, in case of the last extremity, to solicit the intervention and protection of England; but all the rest of the narrative of the Etoilr we must for the present reject, as the offspring of the fertile invention of some of those writers of Greek news, who have entertained us at diferent times with so many wonderful achievements which have never occurred. Ws have nothing new from Spain. The Memorial Bardelais says that the Trappist has been found dead in his bed in the convent where he was confined by order of the Government. It is remarked that FERDINAND is quite fortunate is getting rid of his royalist enemies. The Baron o'Eao Las died the other day of apoplexy, and the Trappist is found dead in his bed ! It was hardly necessary to have executed It r s size ES. 'He too would 'probably have died suddenly if he had been committed to some safe place of confinement, where nobody would have known how he was treated. The reports are still current that the French ft wiil , hortly return into the Peninsula. The Indicuteur de Btrdeoa.r contains a letter from Bayonne dated the 7;h inst. in which there are accounts of the manceuvres of the tries . * ineathrstitester the -walls et that.city. The ..41.1i% niqer of War was expected there on the lea ec voth ;1 and it was generally understood that 25,000 or 39,000 men would cross the Bidassoa at the close of the year. The stateinent in the Jmrnal de Paris respecting the suemsful conclusion of a negotiation for a new Spanish loan, is wholly void of truth. The French funds are agaiu declining, in sympathy, we suppose, with our own. The Five per Cents, ex die. were, at the close of the market on Tuesday, 119 f. SOc.; and the Three per Cents 71f. 4.5 c. On the 24d of this month, the registers of the conversions into the new stock of Four and a Half per Cent will be closed. At present, the amount of • these conversions does not exceed 600,000 francs, and they' have not yet been quoted at any price. This is certainly al striking failure ; but, indeed, what motive can the renders have to 'reduce their annuities one half per cent., in order , to ;nitre themselves for ten years against a re-payment which is lass likely to take place every day?

The Board of Health, at Corfu, exercises increased vigilance on account of the plague at Motion ; but it is not known to have ex tended to any other place. It is even affirmed that Ibrahim Pacha 4 established a cordon to tut MT the communication between Modon and the rest of the Mures, and that the measures he has adopted are like those usual in Europe, but as he expects reinforce ments, and supplies of provisions and ammunition from Akaan dria, wherethe plague prevails, the precaution he has•taken affords . . little security for the future. • ,t Corti, the state of the public health is perfectly good, but an English frigate which arrived Nom the Levant on the 10th of this month, excited some uneasiness ; it lied six sick on board, one of whom died the same day, and three others a few days afterwards. The frigate has been placed under double quarantine, but it is cer - that the malady has nothing pestilential in it, and that it is .sly a bilious fever caught at Athens, in consequence of fatigue. Some persons pretend that it is the typhus, and this is not so for. mally contradicted as the suspicions of the piague.

It Is said there has lately been a General Assembly of the Go. elarnors of Greece, in which the question was discussed to what igropean nation they should have recourse in case of extremity. /Mere were very warm debates. A pretty powerful party was for ipploring the protection of France, but the contrary party, which far England, prevailed. It was therefore decided that Greece, n danger, should place itself under the protection of England. Commodore Hamilton hastened to promise the Greeks, that in less than fifty days they should receive the most effectual assistance from the nation preferred: that perhaps troops and ships of war might be sent them. In a word, he made them the most brilliant promises. Atto. 1. Commodore Hamilton has sent an express to London, to sub to the Government the wishes of the Greeks, to whom he Ihas promised that ha will perhaps give them a favourable answer in GO days, as he said at first. It is affirmed, that he is particularly de sirous that the proposal should be favourably received by the Bri . Go►ernment, because hie representations have chiefly induced various English companies to advance funds to the insurgents. A COUST 2. Commodore Hamilton has put into our port. Some persons on board have confirmed the current reports. It is true that the Eng. lish Commodore has transmitted to his Govenment the wishes of the Government of Greece. It is added, that the Greeks of the Peninsula were determined to have recourse to France, but the islanders, who have long shown their preference of the English, prevailed, and have induced the rest of Greece to desire the protec. tion of Great Britain. MILO, AITOWIT 1. A merchant from Hydra announces, that the English have de- 1 eidedly thrown off the mask ; that they have distributed in all the islands very urgent Proclamations, positively inviting the Greeks to give themselves up to them. They circulate for this purpose a kind of address, to be signed by all the Anglo-Greeks. Boszari, Vice-President-ofthe Government, and Captain Colocotroni, have already signed ; but several of the Chiefs, among whom are Mauro , conlato and Condurlotti, have not only refused to sign, but protested, as it is said, against the signatures of the others.

The British Stock Market presented a firm appearance during the greater part of the morning, and Consols were reported at 881 i till about two o'clock, when they declined to $, without any particular reason being assigned for Ciis movement in them. The business in Consuls, however, to-day, was not at all extensive, and that might operate rather unfavourably towards the close. It was in the Foreign Market that jobbers to-day were principally interested. A heavy settlement was anticipated,' and anticipation has seldom been more fully verified. In- I deed, how could it be otherwise, when it is considered that during this account Mexican Scrip has varied above seven percent., and Colombian Bonds to as great an extent? On the 2d September, in the early part of the day, the former was at 14i discount, and the latter were as low as 71. Since that period the Scrip has been nt 61, and the Bonds 78. The one has since retrograded to 94 discount, and the other to 761. This is a tolerably fair criterion by which the public may judge of the amount of the balances , that were to be arranged to-day ; and we wish that we could say that they all had been arranged satisfactorily, but unfortunately two defaulters were declared; and the cause assigned for these failures is what too frequently larkispasia to broken in time:bargain!, viz. the refusal of their principals to make good their differences. One or ' the parties, we understand, has always been considered as most cautious in doing business ; and if report says true, he has been deserted by a person, who must, from his situation in life, have stood above suspicion. The whole of the attention of speculators was taken up in settling their accounts, therefore the regular transactiena of the day were almost wholly neglected ; but still there was enough done to prove that a trifling improvement towards the conclusion of the market had taken place. Colombian Bonds, for instance, opened at 761, and closed at 771; and Mexican Scrip commenced at 91 discount, and left off at 8141. Greek Scrip continued at yesterday's price, 1711 Idiscount ; and Spanish Bonds were not moved by the re-' I port of the loan raised in Paris for the replenishment of Ftnlinand's Treasury : nobody . believed it. Brazilian Scrip left off at 91 9 discount, and the new Guatemala at 21 discount. The Danish was reported at OS 6 discount. 1 The Share markedly' little business done in it beyond the settling. Anglo-Mexican Shares were lower; they were 'quoted' to-day at 00, and those of the United Mexican Company at 19. The Potosi Shares were down at 11. The following new regulations, as to the delivery of Stock on a day of settlement, arc posted up in the Foreign Stock Exchange:— " That at eleven o'clock on the settling day, three persons be appointed to fix the prices of the different Foreign Securities, for the arrangement of the account—the same to be af9xed in some conspicuous place . in the room.

Rangoon, I should imagine to be one of their holy cities, front the number of buildings to which we have given the, name of pagodas; but they appear to be tombs or monuments. At the base they are square ; these are hexagonally pyramidal, with a 'lender spire of tapering form, crowned with a fillagree work of gilt Iron, iesenthling the Papal crown, with the addition of a number of small bells, which give a not unpleasant tinkling as the zephyrs pass. Of these buildings there are thousands, particularly near the great ore, the approach to which on one side is through a lane of them, occasionally mixed with colossal figures, in a sitting posture, with legs crossed, the right hand pointing downwards in the peculiar manner which is to be observed in all the figures sent to Calcutta. The great pagoda is a pile of brick. work, similar to the rest, but greatly exceeding then) in size and beauty. A side of the base, I think, should measure 100 feet, making the area 10,000 feet square, front which it ascends 200 in hexagons, octagons, decagons, dm the whole from the hue is gilt. Its position is very elevated, commanding an extensive view, and is well calculated for a fortification, but we have no works of moment about it. By some chance, a few of those gilt or plated images were found in a pagoda, and since that every other has been defaced by a breach sufficient to adroit a man.

To these principal objects of notice, here I may add one more, namely, the wharf at the landing place, which is ycleped Scandal Wharf. It is the course, the mall, the general rendezvous, where are liberally dealt out reports true and false, and any thing not credited is called a shave, which one tells another, without giving offence, saying " that's a shave."

He quitted this I settlement, where he had resided for some time bark, about four months ago, in consequence of having fallen into disrepute for a murder alleged to have been committed by him about a year ago, when he had been sent in quest of the late unfortunate Mr. Thorn ton and his companions. From Singapore he went to Traingann, and from thence to Kelantan, at which last place, upon his arrival, some of his companions having landed and mentioned his name, well known in the annals of depredation, some traders of Kelantan upbraided him as a pirate. Ills followers resented the *Mont; H m j a Bey himself landed to second their alone; krises were im. mediately drawn, and the affray ended in a few moments by the death of the Chieftain, of eight of his followers, and of five or six of the people of Kalantan. The Raja of that place, on hearing of the rank of Raja Bey, ordered him a suitable funeral. Events of this nature, which arz far from being of unfrequent occurrence, &front lair examples of the anarchy and violence which characterise the state of soeiety under the genuine Male van Governments.

NEW COELEOS AT BRUSSEES.—The Philosophical College at Brussels is expected to open on the thinl Moir day in October. It appears that the Governtnent spare neither care nor expense that every thing in this establish ment may be answerable to its important destination. It will be entirely lighted with gas. An immense hall, or' leeture-roem, in the shape of an amphitheatre, and ca pable of containing 1200 persons, is nearly finished. Each pupil will have his room in the College, which he will find completely furnished at the expense of the Government. All the courses of lectures are gratuitous: the expense of board is only 200 florins; and stipends will be granted to pupils who are not able to pay so moderate a sum. STEAM-BOATS AND ENDINES.—We last week inserted a paragraph from the Newry Paper, which stated that the number of steam-vessels now building in Liverpool was 44, from 230 to 500 tons ; and further, that no engineer MI execute any orders before the end of 1827. We believe that the number of steam-vessels now building in Liver pool does not exceed 14 ; and we can state, with confidence, that orders for marine engines may be executed by some of the engineers at Liverpool, for delivery in April next. A public meeting of the resident clergy and provincial inhabitants took place at the Guildhall in Beverley, on Monday the Sib instant, to consider the propriety of esta blishing Church of England Sunday Schools in that town. The Worshipful the Mayor took the chair; the Rev. Mr. Gilby, Vicar of St. Mary I, proposed a string of resolutions, acknowledging the necessity of the establishment of Sabbath Schools for the education of the children of the poor in the principles of the established Church, which were una nimously adopted. One of the resolutions proposes (should the funds be sufficient) the establishment of Parochial Lending Libraries in each of the parishes in that town, a circumstance which cannot be hailed but with delight by ever) sincere friend to the education of the poor.

On Thursday the Bth came on to be tried before the steward of the Idarmoot Court at Ashford, in the Peak, and a most respectable special jury of miners, a mineral cause which had excited great interest in the neighbour hood, wherein the proprietors of a mine called Magpie, were plaintiffs, and a company designating themselves the proprietors of a mine called Maypitta, were defendants. The question at issue was whether twelve meers of ground, containing twenty- n i ne yar d s to t h e meer, i n a r i c h ve i n called Bole Vein, w i t hi n t h e manor an d lib erty of Ashford, belonged to the plaintiff's or the defendants ; and it ap peared in evidence that the plaintiffs had at a very consider able expense sunk a new engine shaft on the Bole Vein, and erected a building for a fire-engine, and expended nearly one thousand pounds to unwater the mine, when the de fendants, who had witnessed the progress of the proceed ings, laid claim to the vein upon which The engine was erecting and the shaft actually sunk, and attempted to make claim through a person of the name of John Naylor, who it turned out in the investigation of the cause had worked as a miner for the plaintiffs in this same vein for nearly five years. The plaintiff made out a clear and sa tisfactory title by documentary evidence, which was at tempted to be answered by parole evidence by the defend ants, and aft e r e i g h t hours' inve stigation the jury retired and brought i n t h e i r verdict for the twe l ve meers o f groun d for the plaintiffs. The Counsel for the plaintiff's were Mr. Denman, Mr. John Balm • and for the defendants Mr. Clarke, King' s C ounsel. The Solicitors who conducted the cause for the plaintiffs were Mes A -s.

GE2VER.4I. ELECTION. TAUNTON.—The manifestations of an intended °mi. Lion to the sitting AternberS for this Borough, in the even t of a dissolution of Parliament, have led to an avowal, pri the part of Mr. Baring, that it is not his intention again to offer himself to the electors. The motives which have in. duced this determination, are detailed in an addreasby that gentleman to his constituents. The friends of GT. Peachy are extremely iangulne in their expetiows in his favour, and the general impression is, that should that gentleman be successful, the future repfesentation it,f this boro ug h will be quietly relinquished by th e e l e c tors t q hips and 31,.

LATE FIRE AT BRIGHTON. We understand that the magnificent house on the East Cliff, at Brighton, which was destroyed by fire on Monday evening, was not intended for the residence of Major Rus sell's family, but was building on speculation for a hotel. It was nearly completed, and Major Russell was actually in treaty for its sale. On Tuesday morning he was to have met the parties with whom he was negotiating. We refire: to learn that the premises were not insured ; Major RUgatil had fixed next Monday for a journey to town, in order to effect an insurance upon them. The loss is very consider. able. The sum which was to hate been paid for them, when finished, was 14,000!. or the proprietor offered to dispose of them by measure and value. The parties who were negotiating the purchase intended to have converted the building into a splendid establishment, comprising read ing rooms, aria - tither extensive conveniences. The Brightim Gazette, we observe with pain, says that " there is strong reason for supposing that the fire has been the work of incendiaries. It appears that no candle was ever permitted on ahy account to be used in the building, the workmeh constantly leaving at half-past six o'clock, and the foreman at that time carefully locking the doors. The only fire that was suffered to be made for the use of the Workmen was placed in the centre of the room, so that even if any combustible substAnce had accidentally been ignited, it was quite impossible it could be communicated beyond the room. On this evening too, the man who put out the fire, feeling the ashes and finding them warm, threw over them a pot If water, so that all idea a the Ere herein originated here 4 ss Usa gelestios. Some car. comstances of a very suspicfouasature have also been cOnl municated to us, which we shall forbear at present to men ' tion ; the utmost exertions are making to obtain a clue, and it is Major Russell's full determination to spare no et• ticn itl order to in = :estigate the thing to the utmost.'i We have the ttroOgeSt reason to believe, without under. taking to make a positive assertion, that the King ni:: certainly be here even earlier than the month of Novere• her, which was the time first named. it is now though:. in the quarters most likely to know, that his Majesty wi:i arrive in the course of the ensuing month ; and what in duces us more strongly to think the statement correct the circumstance of the good people of Windsor being busily employed in contradicting with great eagerness the report. —Brighton Gazette.
