No family of the reigning sovereigns is excluded from the prize offered by the Greeks except the imperial house of Russia. It ap pears that the letters of credence with which this novel kind of arribassat'or is no doubt furnished, hare inspired the court of Rome with extraordinary confidence. Perhaps, also, the hopes of • union, as long ardently desired as vainly attempted, between the Latin and Greek Churches, may have dazzled the counsels of the notnan Pontiff. It will be remembered that Count Meta's, charged for some time past with a real mission, publicly announced by the Greek journals, has never yet been admitted to express the wishes of his fellow-chi:ens, either to the Sovereigns at Vermta or to the Pope at Rome, and he even received orders to withdraw without the slightest delay from the States of the Church. It is true that he neither mute to offer a crown, or ask a king at the hands of tie Christian tuonarchs ; he only wished to obtain • promise amn them to desist from affbrding protection to the MUS *dimwit, and also that their diplomatic agents, their commercial consuls in the Levant, and their naval commanders, should pay a little more respect for the future to the rights of nations, and lastly, if it were possible that,by the mediation of Christian Prince', Christian blood might be spared in flee east.

We have seen a letter from Zante, dated on the 17th June, and addressed by a very intelligent Englishman to his friend in London, communicating intelligence respect ing Greece, the reverse of that published in the Austrian Observer, said to be founded on edvices receives] at Vienna from Zante of the same date. Besides this, a letter was received from Zante two days ago, dated on the 21st June, the writer of which conversed with Gen. COLOCOTROSI at Tripolitaa on the Sth of last month. He expressed him self perfectly satisfied of the dangerous situation of the Turkish army in the Mores. The letter said to•be re c.tived from Smyrna, dated on the 17th of June, announc ing the defeat of the Creeks by IBRAHIM Pacua, on the ' 4th, must be a fabrication. The latest arrival from Smyrna, yesterday, brought letters only of the 9th of June, and they expressly state, that there was no public news from Greece in that city. The Austrian Observer is a suspicious vehicle for the conveyance of intelligence from Greece. No dependence whatever can be placed in the veracity of its communications respecting the affairs of the Levat:t. The Swiftsure, Tully, from Vera Cruz, arrived on Wed nesday at Liverpool, with the Mexican Minister on board. The Swiftsure put into New York to refit on the 16th of June. Last night we received New York Papers to the 25th ult. They are filled with accounts of what the American writers term the " eelebratery" events in honour of General LA PArErrs, who has fixed the Isth of August for his embarkation on his return to Europe. The State of Georgia is menaced with an attack from the Creek Indiana, who had collected in considerable numbers, and sent away their wives and children. The alarm ex cited by this apprehended invasion has led to some violent measures on the part of the Legislature of this State to wards the general Government. We have given an ac count of there proceedings in another column, and of the movements of the Indians also. The following is the only extract we can make relative to Simtli America:— Prom the New York Car•tte of Jane 241 We have been favoured with the following interesting extract of a letter from Bogota, dated the 22:h of April : `. A balls has been chattered by the Colombian Government, with a capital of two millions of dollars, to be located in l'aracaa, and likewise a loan of one million of dollars for agricultural pur- Voses has been granted by Government--one half to be loaned to enezuela. The Congress is expected to adjourned the Ist of Ally. A law for a loan of from fifteen to twenty million of dollars has ps.sesl the Lower House- but it is not probable that it will becsine a law, for want of time before the adjournment, although eta y exertion will be made to elect the object. " The Commercial Treaty with Great Britain met with great opposrion in the Senate, as they insisted upon their 'easels being admitted in Colombia upon the tame terms as the Colombians. The utmost harmony exists, and my opinion is that the country will prosper." THERiDAY EVENING. In the absence of foreign political intelligence, the undivided attention of the frequenters of the Stock Exchange has been be. stowed on the Consols. The account is so heavy that it has been found impossible to settle it even this day, and a great many time bargains still remain unarrangetl. Those who calculated on an advance in the Funds have been sanctioned in their speculations by the event, for there was again this day a great want of Stock, I and the advance on yesterday's prices would have been considerable, had the holders of Stock not lent their property, and thus given ' • temporary relief to their opponents. As it was, Money Stock reached 91, the dividend deducted, and the closing price of the day was 90; buyers, whilst for the Account on the 25th August, sellers were found at this latter price. An eminent Capitalist lent nearly 1300.000/. of Stock for an equivalent in money at this day's prices, and he has the loan el the cash, free of interest, till the next set tlement as his profit for this accommodation. Should the public continue to Invest their surplus money in the British Funds, nothing can prevent a farther adsanee, teeetelthottt theiatareestiaa of foreign politics, it is not to be expected that the supply of Stock in the mstket will be increased, whilst the future demand for it, it is more than probable, will not be limited to its present atnount The Sinking Fund is operating powerfully on the small amount of floating Stock, the Furchases of individuals are daily increasing, and an no addition is made to the amount of the funded debt, Stock in the market must daily bezoine less plentiful, and consequently of higher value. Little attention was paid this day to Foreign Securities, but the improvement in the value of the British Funds must eventually add to the demand for those of foreign nations. Brazilian Scrip is per cent. higher than it was yesterday. Colombian Bonds of 182" have again reached 13;e1 without the dividend, and the holders of them are unwilling to sell securities yielding an annual income of up. semis of 7 per cent, whilst li.tle more than 3 per cent. can be ob. Mined for the same amount of money invested in the Consols. Mexican Scrip has also improved about per cent. This Stock stands in public es'i.nation timisAy on the same footing as that of Colombia: both Republics enjoying at the latest ad vice,' anintetrupted internal prosperity. Peruvian Stock is very steady. Austrian Bonds are advancing gradually towards par, and Prussian Bonds are above par. Nut a doubt can be entertained id' the intention of both these nations soon to imitate the conduct of England, France, and Denmark, and t r reduce the annual charge on their public engagements. Greek Bonds are 4 per cent. dearer. but the Scrip of the last Loan is as much cheaper since yesterday. h harem very little alteration can be noted. Some new schema for obtaining money bare been agsin brought before the public; but as individual capital is guile equal to the ends of some of these associations,' the public feel Rale introit in them, ard gene rally they have been riezleced.

In consequence of the successive defeats of the CAPITAH PACHA ; an order has been issued for Ids deposition, aud his property provisionally sequestrated. 'l'base measures seem to presage that on his return to Ceseisntieople be will suffer death, like so many of his • reaseresers, because he could not insure success. His fall In i seine degree ascribed to the intrigues of the Viceroy dP' ikypt, who was desirous of obtaining the chief com mand of the Turkish fleet for his son Asaartt>r PACHA. The Divan, it appears, had decided that none hut the High Admiral of the Porte could be invested with that rank, or the Srr.rAN was not indisposed to have permitted lansntx to hold it. Since this decision, the Egyptian commander, with the view, it was supposed, of preventing a conflict of authority, declared that he had no need of the C4riTAN PAC A's assistance, as his own fleet was in every 'respect sufficient for him. There 13 no cont'rmation of lartAnnes advance into the Mores, nor of any of the other successes said to have been lately gained over the Greeks, nor of the disventtons which were represented to prevail amongst them. . The Coyrrier Francois announces that an envoy has arrived at Rome from Greece, to solicit the Pore to point out a Sovereign for that country. It is required that be should be of a loyal line, and of the orthodox, that is to say, of the Roman Catholic faith. His Hott NESS, who has hitherto viewed the Greek contest with indifference, as a mere struggle between schismatics and infidels, has been so much pleased with this application that he has resolved to give the Greeks all the aid in his power. He considers them again as Christians worth saving from utter c!aer mination. This is the story published by the Pads Jour nalist. What credit it is entitled to, we shall probably know in a abort time. (Prom the Masi/car of Tuesday, July 19.—Non.official rani CONSTANTINOPLE. W'e have just learned the deposition of Kostreb Pasha, the High Admiral of the Porte. This orate is founded en the blameable conduct of the Capitan Pacha since he left the port of Comtantino. pie, and on the great injury which he has caused to the Porte by his foolish and imprudent ensidact. It had been already Obverted before the opening of the cam. paltn, that the cretin of the Capitan Pacha had declined, and that the Sultan was displeased with him on account of the result of the campaign of 'TS. In consequence, there was a talk el' his being removed last winter. The parti•ans and agents of Mahomet Ali at Constantinople had not failed to acquaint the Sultan with all the complaints of Ibrahim Pa•lia against the high Admiral, and had been favourably listened to A resolution had already been taken to confide the commend of the Turkish fleet to Ibrahim ?ache, when it was recommended, and the Sultan was induced to refer to the D.can the question. whether such great powers should be given to the Son of the Viceroy of Egypt. There was long debates on this subject in an extraordinary meet ing of the D:ren, which at length decided that Ibrahim Pacha emsA not be invested with the supreme command, which belonged by Night to the High Admiral of the Porte. The Sultan, yielding reiresentations made to him, confirmed the opinion of the aid notwithstanding hie repugnance again confided to latch the direction or the naval operations. But it was esibresse, as vu stated at the time, that Kestrels would not himself in his pest unless lie sliould gam victories, and object of hie miesidh. Carom Pacha is now reproached w:th having taken his very ill; with having out of J ealousy of Ibrahim Pasha slat all tie preparations for the equipment of his fleet; and ram formal very skilful rani officers; with haring at firm eyelid Admiral Sarkitairls,, whom he miLlit cattily have hen's', at Myrtle* having sacrificed several vessels which he might have salad, and taken very badineasurea in prirzeding to Candia. The Sultan was much int:Pumped against him, on learning the donna Avon of stvutlor his vessels by the Oreek fire-shim and cap. tore of some others. It was generally affirmed at Constantinople, triat his tome was reduced to one.half. What seems to aooflrm all the accounts in eitculation respecting his fleet is, that the Capi ta, Pacha, having aka) refuge it Suds, does not due to leave it skein ; and that be pretends it is impossible fot him to afford treenail aid to Radschid Pasha.

The feudal system, the bane of every country where ft is tolerated, has been abolished in the lonian Islands, by I law passed in the second Session of the second Parliament, dated the 28th of May, and entitled, " Act of Parliament for the gradual abolition of Feudal Tenures." The fol lowing is the preamble to the new law, from which the most beneficial results may be expected:— " It being 40 -of the principal objects of the Oneeitimsnt to encourage agriculture, and experience having demonstrated that one of the greatest im pediments to he progress ta the existence of property rendered inalienable by means of feudal restrictions, therefore, with a view to put an end to this evil, increasing at the same time the prosperity of the State and of private persons,' by authority of his Excellency the President, and of the Most Illustrious Senate, 'with the assent and advice of the Most Noble' Legislative Assembly of the lonian Islands, in this s.cond Session of the second Parliament, and with the approbation of his Excel lency the Lord High Commissioner of the Sovereign Protector, it is ordained and enacted as follows: The law itself, in seven short articles, provides for the aboh tion (partly immediate and partly gradual) of all feudal tenures or restrtetions, hindering or icrimilieg the alienation of landed pro perty. The Parliament of the lonian Islands has also enacted some new regulations respecting the payment of Import and export duties. The export duty of two colonnati per barrel on oil the produce of' those islands is abolished, and instead of it a duty of eighteen per cent. ad valorem is to be paid. - , Articles of foreign produce or manufacture, imported in ships that are bona a ide lonisn, British, or Austrian, shall psy et the Custom-house of the island into which they are imported, a duty of 7 per cent. ad valorem, instead of 8 per cent. and if imported in ships of any other nation, 8 instead of 7 per cent ad valorem, as was fixed by the Act of Parliament, of Sth April, 1819- " All articles of foreign produce or manufacture, after paring the import duty in one of the islands, may be carried free of any duty to any other island of these hates, it being well understood, however, that they are to be conveyed in ships tone fide lonian ; for if they are conveyed in ships of any other nation, these articles shall Day a duty of five per cent.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. This house followed the example of Coient-garden last night, in closing its pet fonuances for the present season. The following was the Address spoken upon the occasion : " ladies and Gentlemen,—At the close of a Theatre for the season it is scarcely possible to vary the mode in which it is customary to offer you a tribute of respect, for the various proofs of favour and kindness during that period. " I am deputed, Ladies and Gentlemen, on the part of the Pro prietor, to assure you that he Is fully sensible of the great and general patronage which he has experienced since lie first under took the Management of this Theatre; and to return you his sin. core thanks for the support which you have so liberally bestowed upon the various productions of this season. lie ventures to in dulge in the hope that his future efforts may still merit a cond. nuance of your favour. "It is now my pleasing duty to express the grateful acknow ledgments of all the members of this establishment. Allow me, therefore, ladies and gentlemen, to render you their heartfelt thanks ; and, until the 24th of September, to bid you, most respectfully, farewell." We are happy in being able to state, that Mr. Canning has now no complaint remaining but excessive weakness. The Right Honourable Gentleman will leave town in a day or two for Lord Liverpool's seat, at Coombe Wood, for change et air. The serious illness of Mr. Canning has spread a gloom in Ireland, which it would be difficult to describe. We i r hope and trust that the present attack of the gout is cnly ' temporary. What we apprehend is, that the health of this great man may induce him to rotire from office. In l i the present circumstances of the Empire, we do not know / that a greater calamity could occur.—Dublin Evening Pest of 7'uesday. THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE'S SUPPER.—At Vtuxl a'l, on Tuesday evening, his Grace of Devonshire invited all the fashionable. he met with there to retire with him to supper. The invitation was promptly accepted; and at two o clock a most sumptuous banquet was set out in the " Summer [ Apartments, 'on the ground floor. The parry, being joined by others, the covers laid were not sufficient; and as the night was hot, an idea was suggested to place tables on the open lawn, in the rear of the house. This was done. There werepyesent— The Hamelin Prince sad Princess, and their suite; the Earl of Bristol, Lord and the Ladles Hervey, the Spanish Miniver, the I Austrian Charge des Arslres, Lord Ashley, the Duke of Bruns. wick and Prince William, Colonel D'Este and Madame D'Este, Lady and Miss Acton ; Hon, Edward Petre, Mrs. Lane Fox, Sir Robert and Lady Macfarlane, Countess of Harrowby and Lady Mary Ryder, Count Karoli, Lord Henry Fitzroy, 111 r. Anson, Captain Clifford. THEATRICAL—The favourite opera of Midas is in course of rehearsal at the Haymarket. It has never ap peared at this theatre, and will be produced on the present occasion with all the advantage it can derive from new scenery and decorations, with the important aid of Madame Vestris in the part of Apollo, and Liston in that of .Ifiber. LIVERPOOL, Juni. 20.—Mr. Sinclair has been for the last fortnight fulfilling his first engagement at the Liver pool Theatre, since his return from Italy, and if the re ceipts of the house on the nights of his performances are any criterion, he has shone the most brilliant star of the season. He is thought to be much improved in science, taste, and voice—his acting, also, has become more easy and effective. His performance of Orlando, in the C'atinet, has given the greatest delight to his audience, and is spoken of by the musical amateurs in unqualified praise. His fine rich voice and brilliant execution, in the' Po lacca," called forth unbounded applause, anti general en cores followed every one of Mr. Sinclair's principal songs. His good humour, and zeal to give pleasure to his hearers, have insured him high approbation, and he has been re warded with the fullest and best attended benefit of this season. A subscription has just been opened at Marseilles for the formation of an association in favour of the Greek cause, similar to that established, and the direction of which is, for the present, confiticd to the care of the first twenty subscribers. Letters from Gibraltar of the 30th June, state that there is a little demand for wheat at that market at present. There arc adviecs in town from the North of Spain of so late a date as the .Stll July. They describe the condition of the people as wretched, money scarce, provisions dear, aud every prospect of a total failure of the present crops. Extract from a correspondent on board the ship New York, dated at sea, '290 miles from Cape Clear, 3d June: " On the seventh day out we were boarded by the Colom hian privateer brig El Vencedor, Captain Brotherton. This vessel had been out GO days from Baltimore and last from St. Thomas. Her appearance so far north struck us as somewhat singular : and we were for some time at a lass to divine her object. She sent her boat to us, with two lieut.snants, a naidaliipmas, wad four men. The lieutenants dined with ns. They said they were in pursuit of a Spanish fleet of 26 sail of merchantmen, from Ha vannah, bound to Cadiz, and, taking us for one of the fleet, had been in chase of us for two days." Extract from a letter from Wilmington, North Carolina, dated May 13.—" Th• -.: is reason to believe we have'a pi ratical vessel on our coast, and the suspicion should be made as public as possible. About two weeks sinee. four men were found on the beach, about the latitude of Wash ington, their heads anu hands cut off, and apparently lately done.

JODIT-Sr6v comPA TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. Sot,—The multitude of Joint-Stock Companies now in existence, and the daily increase which it appears to re ceive, present a subject for consideration deeply interesting! with regard to individual welfare, and of no slight import ance in relation to the national prosperity. It is a subject which requires and deserves calm and sober discussion, though it has hitherto seldom called forth anything but prejudice, affectation, and cant. From whatever cause it may have proceeded, certain it is that never before was there such a mass of interests created, which endured so I passively the very principle of its existence to be assailed, or exerted so little energy in its defence. The African slave trade was never without its able and zealous de fenders ; yet the projectors and capitalists who now cul -1 bark in joint-stock speculations submit. without resistance, to the most sweeping imputations of knavery or fully. It is my intention, Sir, if you can afford me the necessary apace in your columns, to enumerate some of the more obvious considerations connected with the prevailing nzania, —to adopt a term which the fully of fashion has appro prlated to this subject; to point out the nature and degree of the evils it is calculated to produce • to show, at the same time, that those evils are not unmixed ; and finally, if not to strike the balance of good and evil, at least to indicate the way, and exemplify - the temper, in which the question may be rationally and beneficially discussed. The chief immediate evil produced by these Companies !is the gaming to which they give rise. For a considerable period from the creation of a Joint-Stock Company, the money actually paid upon each share is usually i•• -onside rabic. Thus, individuals possessing a small capital arc enabled to hold a great number of shares, and are tempted 1 to do so in the hope of a speedy rise in their market value; permanent investment being equally remote from their in tention and beyond their means. This evil, which I sea- lily admit to he such, is however vastly over rated in public estimation. The spirit of gaming has always existed, and txerciaed great influence iu human society: so far as the establishments in question have strengthened or extended the dominion of this baneful passion, they have unques tionably been mischievous; but they have rather varied the sphere of its operation, and changed the objects to which it is applied, than had the effect of increasing its virulence or diffusing its contagion. We see an old and well-known evil in a new region and under another form, with some increase perhaps to its actvity. Are we therefore justified in denouncing Joint-Stock Companies as the creators of a disease which they have only modified ? Nor is the modifi eition itself either hurtful or indifferent. If men will game, they will generally also pay some attention to, and strive to acquire some knowledge of, the subjects with which their gaming is connected. In this point of v iew, it will mot be denied that mining is preferable to the prize ring, or that Bolivar is an object snore worthy of attention than Jem Ward. The truth indeed is, that the gaming incidental to the creation of the new Companies is a very small part of the goneral subject. It will speedily wear itself out. The effective demand for this mode of permanent investment constitutes the natural limit beyond which the creation of new Companies cannot greatly extend ; as, by successive calls, the shares of the existing Companies become heavier, that is, assume more the character of solid property, and as at the same time their prospects become more fully deve loped, gaming in shares will gradually abate. The hn pulse of novelty and the mists of ignorance, both so favour able to the spirit of gaming. will cease together ; gaming, in the only offensive sense of the word, Will cease at the sante time. The great question then remains, what may we rationally expect to be the effects upon individual hap piness and national prosperity of that new distribution of cripital, and new creation of interests, which Joint-Stock Companies are about to produce? I have already trespassed so far upon your space and patience, that I dare not touch a question so extensive and important in the present letter. T. B. The Pospectus of a New Company, to be termed the " British and Foreign Tobacco an. Snuff Manufacturing Company," is about to be issued. In a country where there is so large a consumption of this article in every form that it takes, and in every class of society, whatever tends to place the supply in respcctab'e and competent hinds, must be serviceable. There appears to be no rea son against the formation of a West Indian Tobacca Com. pany upon the same footing as the great East India Tea Company. By rendering the traffic exclusively British a new and valuable market for Biitith laheur and British capital might be opened in our Western Colonies. We understand that it is intended to establish a Literary and Scientific Institution, for persona engaged in commer eial and professional pursuits, in the western parts of the metropolis. The objects of this Institution will be—lst. ' The establishment of a library of reference and circula ' tion, and rooms for reading and conversation.---211. The formation of classes amongst the members, to assist them in the acquisition of the ancient and modern languages.— Sd. The delivery of lectures on the most interesting an important subjects in the departments of literature affil science; including polite literature, history, mathematics, political economy, and natural and moral philosophy. To carry Iliac objects into effect a public meeting will shortly be held, of which due notice will be given. Although the residence of so many of our countrymen on the Continent has been felt by tradesmen, the more ob serving begin to see good arising out of it, from the gradual introduction there of a taste for many comforts,', that may be termed peculiarly English, and the supply of which must for some time be derived exclusively from 'I British markets, and in no article is this more manifested than in the extended orders received from the continent for carpets. This taste has received a new impulse, and ! although many, ill-versed in the science of political :economy, attempt to depreciate the substitution of machi nery for manual labour, wears glad to find it increasing in every branch, and in none more than in carpet weaving, since the consequent cheapness of this valuable article of domestic orrament and convenience will materially con tribute to its introduction among the middle classes of I society throughout a considerable part of the continent, particularly in the northern districts, where its utility, it is obvious, must be so fully appreciated. The extension of, this manufacture from. British looms will be of the greatest as-scquence, because the wool used is entirely of British growth. We feel therefore wen-anted in wishing success 1 to the very ingenious establishment recently projected, and about to continence in that article at Battersea ; it is a similar principle which has enabled Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, &c. to nearly monopolise all markets fur their ma- nufactures. Recent experience has shown that perhaps there is no article, the manufacture of which may be ex tended with more advantage than carpets, even in this country, but still more for exportation to the continent, where they have but rceemlx_ been introduced: and it may be anticipated that at no remote pet Mel it may be numbered among the staple manufactures of the country, and de serving, in common with them, of every possible en couragement. I Sir WALTER SCOTE.—Sir Walter Scott visited the Bank of Ireland cn Monday ; he then proceeded to the residence of the Provost, and was introduced by him into the Col lege Library. The door of the Library was guarded by a surly porter, and not even the ladies who came to catch a glimpse of the " Great Unknown," could obtain admis sion. This is worthy of that College, where a system of ' exclusion and illiberality has long prevailed—a system ab horrent to the pursuits of literature, and disgraceful to the country. A curious circumstance occurred during Sir Walter's visit on Saturday to the Library adjoining St. ! Patrick's Cathedral. The Deputy Librarian, Si leo happens to be a Collegian, having got into conversation with the "Great Unknown," wished to take him by surprise, and I thereby prove his own dexterity. With this view he ex claimed, " Oh, Sir Walter, do you know that it is only lately I have had time tb get through your Reilga u : i ti, t.' Sir Walter—" Sir, I never met with such a book." The Librarian stood rebuked, and said nothing. Sir Walter is exceedingly lame. The lameness, we should thick, by ! I is manner of walking, prOceeds from a hip disease, with which he was probably affiisted in his youthful days. The sketch given of him in Peter's Letters. is ettrernely faith ful.
