T6s BRITIIIN Pitss commenced publishing on Saturday miming at five LONDON, MUND %Y, Aucivsr X 3, IRYR. In another part of our Paper will be found an extract of a lei ter from Zante,datetl;26th July, the authenticity of which we have no reason to doubt. Ve are to conclude, front the attire of its contents, that the intelligence lately conveyed through a letter from the same island, date( the silt July, .t•d which asserted the landing at the Gulf of ('alamata, the 29th June, of four thousand Arabs, is arn •_!rtely unfounded. Indeed, we looked upon that intelli ..,ence as very suspicious, and were glad to find that little redit was given to it. It is generally believed, and we bare it in particular from the best sources, that the means of :!le Pacha of Ecs rr have been so far exhausted by his late extraordinary exertions against the Greeks, that not only ba declines prosecuting the war at any expense of his own, t•at moreover insists upon his son's return to Egypt. I attattivt PACHA, however, is unwilling to obey this ...rder of his father, and continues to flatter himself with tbe assistance of reinforcements, which he is not likely tu receive. iVithout them his future attempts will be in capable of making further impassion, and he will soon be reduced to the necessity of adopting a defensive system. His eagerness to prosecute the war in Greece may be attri buted to the ambitious motive of succeeding to the govern vient of the country of which he will have completed the Another letter on the subject of Gre k affairs, to which we this day give insertion, untie, the head Mr. Oar .:ill be also read with interest. It will give a clearer in s:Alit into the manner with which the interests of Greece 1-are been for some time conducted in this country than 'tat portion of the English public interested in the trans s2tions relative to the Greek loans has hitherto been al :owed to obtain. We are far from wishing to pronounce premature opinion on this question, which we sincerely ± upe may be ultimately explained in a satisfactory manner all parties concerned ; but as we know that Mr. Ott _.s no has already taken his passport for France, and in :ends leaving England very shortly, we cannot help say :- g it appears to us he would, for his own sake as well as that of others, do well to consider the indirect call r. ade on him by the writer of the letter which gives coma. to these remarks, and pause before he takes a step that :nay to a certain extent justify suspicions already enter tlicetl, and give strength to surmises seriously affecting character. Whilst writing on Greek affairs, we received a letter from .wir. GALLOWAY, the engineer under whose directions the 4:reek steam-boats have been constructed, repelling certain i;,..inustions thrown out lately against him as to the causes rich have retarded the completion of those vessels. IVe ...y be allowed to express our conviction that ti.. neglect r which Mr. GALLOWAY seems to be by many rendered rsonally responsible does not arise on his part from any wlllerl intention or view of injuring the interests of the cause. The particulars of this business being about to he made a matter of inquiry with others, by the w Greek Commission appointed for the purpose, will no isubt be fully stated in proper time. In the British Press of Saturday we insertc.d the copy of tatter from the Committee of the National Asaetnbly to ;.1 Sr•Ntot.ACKt, at London, dated the 10th ofJune last, in .!di it was stated that they had received the express '-:ra of the National Assembly to withdraw the Depute , : from London, and to receive their accounts. ••ince writing the above leading article, intelligence reached us from Greece, through a channel possessing . twit means of information, whi:h states that the Com-• mission from which the above order emanated, together with the Assembly itself, has been dissolved, and the seve ral members of the Government have been compelled to leave Napoli. This information arrived by a vessel which left Napoli in the month of July; and the letter commu nicating the intelligence asserts that the change in the Government was effected by No its Borzants, JAVELLA, and other Roumiliote Capitani, with about 5,000 Roumi liote troops, aided by Yesita NT I, at the head of various Moreote chiefs, and supported by FA mviztt and Cotoco- THONI. These distinguished leaders are Bahl to have taken possession not only of Napoli, but of the other for tresses of Athens, Corinth, and Malvasia; and the Assem bly being thus dissolved, the members composing it have retired, some to Hydra, and others (amongst whom are the two leading members, Zatmts and Novaitiv) to Brunzi. This prompt and decisive measure will naturally create a strong feeling of surprise, though we have no doubt that eventually its expedience will be fully justified ; as among the names of those whn have taken part in it our Readers will find two of the Capitani who have evinced their devo tion to the cause of Greece by their heroic defence of Missolonghi, and whose real patriotism is therefore beyond all question. The discovery of an intention on the part of the Na tional Assembly to enter into negotiation with the Sulrapt and la KAMM is assigned as the reason for this unexpect ed and important step bring taken by the Capitani, they having re-olved to submit to no compromise whatever with their oppressors. The Allgrmeine ?.hang, to the 20th August has been received. We subjoin an extract, which contains intelli gence from Constantinople, dated the 26 th July:— CONSTAIYTINOPLE, JULY 28. The executions and reforms continue. The new troops are orga. nized quite in the European fashion. All is changed, and the system of terror which prevails make' every thing appear to go on well ; but secret discontent is, however, to be observed. %Ve see a hat is not usual here—placards reminding the sultan of the fall of Selim, and threatening that the Janissaries will suddenly spring up. as if they grew out of the sea. The small number of people in the streets and squares, the general shignat on in business, and the despondency risible in every countenance. are alarming; to this m.tv b.. addded the spreading of the plague, and intolerable heat. We hear hardly any thing frill, Greece. We received, last night, the Etode, dated the 26th. It contains a great number of particulars respecting Turkey, and rumours relative to Greece. An article from Constan tinople mentions the arrival in that capital of messengers from REDscirrn PAC H A, hearers of intelligence that he had completed the conquest of Eastern Greece, and was at the gates of Athens. Before we could place reliance on intel ligtnce coming from so partial a quarter, we should wish to hear a corroborative statement from other parts. The Turks have so often subdued Greece, according to their ow•n accounts, that they have but too well taught us by this time the sort of reliance which is to be placed in the r official assertions on that subject. The following are ex tracts:— [ From the Doile, dated Saturtinv., A ug. 26] DARDANELLES, JUNE 2P. Two English frigates and a bri; a• cuore 1 o tie 28th at Tt ne dos.

The Turkish division of two ships of the line, five frigates, 12 corvet•ev, and 10 transports, sailed this morning. The Commander of the American squaer in, which arrived yesterday at Tenedos, has asked for an interview with the Capitan Paths. Commodore 1-1, r inihon has sent to the laver two of his slaves, who had been taken by the ()mks, and bar obtained the liberty of four English sailors who were embarked cm Laird the squadron.

The Paths replied that he could not discuss such a question, and that application must be made to the Porte. Jut.v The espitan Pacha sailed on she 12th for Alitylene, where the first division was also to go. The squadron consists of four ships of the Irate, twelve frigates, sixteen corvettes, and twenty-eight brigs or transports. rAWEA...II7TIE 10.

The Greeks of those parts have ttt en refuge, as usual, in Egeria and Salamis. Ali Bey has penetrated into ',Bahia, and build the towns of Zernova and Christi. SYRA• JULY 9. There are great troubles at Napoli; the (lovemtncnt has been obliged to take refuge in Fort Burgi. It has sent Commissioners to Sy ra to raise fresh taxes, and suspend the I:parch. The division which, after the fal I of Missolonglli, was sent to Alexandria, has returned to Navarin with .1900 fresh troops. On the Bth, the 11-. et at Constantinople of SO sail, in two columns, was in sight of Syr.'; the consternicion was general. It is sup pawl to have sailed to Navarin or to suds. It is said that Dotra, having embarked his family and his trea sures for a fireign country, was preparing to abandon the post which had beer, confided to him, and to return to Europe, when the ship in which he was to embark was taken by a Ilydriut vasel and carded Ito Hydra. This new, requires confirmation. There have been troubles at Ilydra among the regular troops Colonel Fabvier, who went there to appease them, was obliged to kill one of the tnost mutinous with his own hand. Thu Duke de Richelieu and Count de Laborde, who were then at Hydra, on board the English Admiral's ships, witnessed all those scenes.

Letters from Setnlin ay that the Pacha of Travnick, in Bosnia, after receiving the Firman abolishing the Janissaries, called those of his Pachalick together, to read it to them.

We do not know the parti. cubits of this action, nor whether our Government has received them ; but considering the respectability of the house that has the letter to which we refer, we do not hesitate to credit this agreeable news.

CITY, SATURDAY EVENING. The Money Market opened this morning with the same languid appearance as for some days past, which continued until the latter part of the (lay, when an alteration took place. Cons°la at the opening were at which price they remained until the period in question, when the spe culators for a rise came in and made some heavy purchases, which sent them up to 79,i, and more than one transaction took place at 79, though the Market cannot fairly he stated beyond the former quotation. From the stationary situa tion in which Consols had remained for some days. and from the near approach of the Account, some such effect as the one we have described was anticipated, and it is very pro bable that between this and Tuesday (settlement flay) there will be a greater variation than has taken place during the past period of the Account. In the Foreign Market Mexican Bonds are improving, though in the early part of the day there appeared symp toms of a slight te-action ; as soon, however, as the in creased activity in Consols was appar, tit, these Bonds went up en additional two and a half per cent., and their final quotation for the day was 501, the: a very animated Market. It would he absurd to repeat the reports in cir culation, as to the dividends on these Securities, in the ab s:nce of all further positive information, or to name this or that highly respectable individual who is about to be come the Agent of the Government in question. Suffice it that there appears a disposition to believe the dividends will be forthcoming ; and should the Minister from this State arrive in England at an early period, of which cir cumstance an intimation has beets given, it will doubtless have the efflct of giving more confidence, for up to this period the want of an accredited official representative has been sensibly felt. Colombian Bonds did not take advan tage of the move in the Market booml per cent., and their highest price was 34. For Russian Stock there was a decided &tumid, which sold at 81.. There were some bargains done in Greek at 13 to 1 1, and it is very probable that these Bonds will be a subject of speculation in conse quence of the withdrawing the Deputies, and other matters connected therewith. It certainly appears at present that the Greek !landholders, as well as other contrinutots to the cause of freedom in Greece, have gnat reason to complain of the manner in which the business, as respects the sup plies, has been conducted. It is to he hoped that at the approaching meeting such an explanation may be given as will remove the suspicion of inertness on the part of those charges] with the execution of so sacred a responsibility as that which attaches to the parties in question. In constqutnce of a Government contract for a large quantity of Rum having been conclud.il at an advance of 211. per gallon, there was a good deal done in the Colonial Market to-day, and it is matter of sincere gratulation to observe the important improvement which has taken place in this essential branch of the commerce of the Gauntry. We have received Demerara Papers to the 3d ult.

It is said the Brazilian Ambassador will, as heretofore, antici pate the payment of the dividends for six months, on a discount being allowed. MAJOR LAING.—When the London Papers of Friday announced the arrival of Major Laing at Timbuctoo with out any details, we readily concluded, as we wished it to be, that he had reached that place in safety. But it ap pears we have been mistaken, and that the accounts of his misfortunes, which we received several weeks ago through a channel exclusively our own, is unfortunately confirmed. Subsequently to his leaving Twat, the caravan With which he was travelling was attacked and dispersed by a banditti of barbarous Arabs, in which attack the Major was unfor tunately severely wounded in the shoulder, and his servant killed. This misfortune will, it is apprehended, oblige Major Laing to return again to Tripoli instead of prosecut ing his journey down the Niger, and solving the great geo graphical problem, the course and termination of that cele brated river. We shall still hope that lie will proceed, as we conceive he runs more danger in returning across the Desert to 'fripoli than in descending the Niger to the ocean. But on this 'abject we must admit that he is the best judge.—tilusgoto Carrier. FEMALE CONVICT s.—Two ships—the Grenada, hound to Sidney, New South Wales; and the Sir Charles Forbes, to Van Diemen's Land—are now lying off Woolwich, and are receiving on hoard female convicts sentenced to be transported. Within the last few days nearly sixty have been removed from Newgate, and many are daily arriving from the various country gaols. So disproportionate are the numbers of mule and female convicts in the above mentioned colonies, that Government send very few wo• men to the Penitentiary at Milbank. Those who go abroad are placed under the entire control and management of a naval surgeon, who, as well as the Captain, in addition to his regular pay, receives a certain allowance for each wo man who arrives at the place of the ship's destination. The last ship which took out female convicts contained about ISO, only one of whom died on the voyage. The Sir Charles Fin bes has alr ea dy rece i ve d sixty-six females on board, and is to have twelve more. The vessel has been visited by Mrs. Fry, who declares it to be the best fitted-up convict ship that ever left England with females. The public are not aware that Lieut. Geo. Lintlesay, R.N.has laid before his Majesty's Ministers a proposal for , employing th e p oor out o f wor k , b y means of recovering j certain lands from th e sea , a l ong t h e coast of Great 13 r i ta i n , ' pointing out that the lands so recovered would soon repay the nation for the outlay, and that the grounds afterwards might be held for ever as belonging to the Crown, to pay part of the country's expenditure. We have much plea sure in stating, from good authority, that his proposal has been honoured by a hearing. The Managing Committee of the Carleton Club are ne gotiating for a house, as the proposed number of Members is likely to be soon completed. Messrs. Ilopkinson, of Regent-street, Pall-mall, are, we understand, appointed bankers to the Club. i EARL GREY AND MIL BEAUMONT.

LORD CHANCELLOR'S PRIVATE Roost.—Our report in Friday's Paper of what transpired in the Chancellor's private roJin, we are requested to state, is not correct. We there reported that an application was made respectiug Lady Gresley, who had been declared a lunatic. That is not the fact, though her son (Sir Roger Gresley) is adopt. ing legal proceedings to obtain a verdict to that effect. The question, however, is, we hear, to undergo a public investigation before a Jury, and that the proceedings will be strenuously opposed by her Ladyship at every stags. there being, in fact, no pretence for the charge of her being a lunatic.

It is in a high state of preservation, and was taken about eight days ago, having followed the ship a whole day in chase of flying fish, the fins of one of which were timid in its stomach.
