We have rewired Brussels Papers to the Gth inst. The following are a few extracts:— BRUSSELS, SE►T. 2. Two Greek Primates, Christodulo Ecloridi, aged 60, and Khasi Petraki Eitheriois, aged 40, have just arrived at Brussels, fugitives trim their country, where they saw their families proscribed, their property confiscated, their wives and families carried into slavery, and themselves escaped capital punishment only through the inter vention of the French Consul. These two Primates, when in their own country, made the most noble use of a large fortune. Euro pean travellers were treated by them with the most generous hospi tality. They are now visiting the principal cities, in order to col lect donations with which they may be able to redeem from the Ottoman cupidity the only beings who can sulfa the horrors of an Bails, the duration of which it is impossible to foresee. We believe the mention of these facts is suth:tent to excite the ►indness of our countrymen in favour of these ter , . exiles. They edge in the liotel d'Anglcterre; the papers given by the Consols co: the principal European nations, which they have in their pos session, will prove to the friends of the Greeks in Belgium that timer are few better opportunities to exercise their humanity. SEPTEMBER 3. Tlie Court of Assize at Ghent is at present engaged in a cause of the biglest irnportanze. Four officers of the Oc . n , i "of thst city, w.. 0 were stationed at the g.t'e of S. Lieven. are accused of for gery and bribery : a miller and his wife are accused as acct.'s). :es. The forgeries relate to t'ckets delis:Ted by the Exciie.office for dour, on flour, which they had falsifi_d in dill . ..rent ways, for the purpose of fraud. The points of accusation are vay numerous and coniplicated : it is expected that 111. Cuninck, the Kiag s attorney, w.ll propose about 300_quecians : the proceeding, will occupy at :act 13 SEPTEMBER 4. A !et'er from Luxemburg, of lit September, says, "A report is generally spread here that positive news (some say offi,ial) has arrived from the Have, that the Government has resolved to esta blish &provincial court of justice at Luxemburg." A French officer whom an unfortunate affair has obliged to take rest ge among us has been informed against, as we are assured by • person in whom he had confided. This unfortunate man was immediately arrested, and it is feared that orders will come to delver him up. We hasten to add that the informer is not a native of Luxemburg or of Belgium ; and r.s soon as the affair was known, a collection was made fur the officer, who is in great distms. Agr at num er of the citizens, and of the Prussian officers of the garrison, joined in this act of beneficence. Gen. Muffling is now here. His highness Prince ficherbaleff arrived here yesterday. SEPTEMBER 5. An Austrian Cabinet 31esser.ger passed through here yesterday, on his way to London, with despatches. The passage of foreign diplomatic characters through Berlin is very frequent. There are Ambassadors, Generals, &c. crossing each other in all directions. A Spanish Courier passed through that city on the 29th of August, on his way from 3lstlnd to Moscow, with despatches. The Gazelle of Florence, of 21th August, states, that the Sul tan was to publish a finnan, forbidding all the Rajas to dress in the European fashion, till the costumes which the Greeks are to wear in future shall be made known. The Police of Ilamburgh has b:en obliged to prevent the pro pagation of the doctrines of a mystical society which has lately establlshed itself in that city. FRASCFORT, SE►T. I. The Greek Prinee Cantreuzeno has been settled for a long lime at Dresden ; his brother has just arrived there with hilt lankily, w.th the intention of taking up his abode there. The Qeees Dowager of Wirtumberg arrived here this even ing. under the title of Countess of Groningen. Prime Rashid, Prussian Minister at the Court of Austria, and the Count de Case, French Plenipotentiary to the Court of fleecier, arrived here yesterday with their families. • TbeOctroi is the duty on various articles brought into a city, which is levied at Ghat. The accounts received yesterday from Lisbon show that there is still a party (as there must be in all cases of politi cal change) who are not satisfied with the line of conduct which Don PEDRO has pursued in settling the affairs of Portugal. and who object to the alterations which have been made in the form of government under which they had for some time lived. It would be an extraordinary c.rciamstance--it would be a fact unparalleled in the his tory of nations—if any change in the political state of a T ation, even from bad to good, did not raise up opposition 1-om some person*, who either are really injured by such aaerations, or fancy themselves to be so. Some person always gains by abuses; and it is not likely that one who 111$ gained by an old system, who considers the benefits or that system as his by prescription, who regards the in fringement of his privileges as a robbery committed on his ri%ate property, will acquiesce silently and unresistingly in a change which, though it benefits all the world but himself, is but the more irksome to him that others do not snare in his chagrin. Some such feelings as these influence certain persons on all occasions where any alteration is made in an established system. It does not appear that the in struments of the plot of which we have received the official accounts were men of any weight in the State. The instiga tors were no doubt very different persons from the ostensible agents of the conspiracy; and it is to be feared that there in most parts of Europe, a concealed party which interests itself much more than it has any right to do, and much more than is generally imagined on this side of the Chan in the various political events which have taken plaoe for a considerable time in Europe. Their agents, on the present occasion, were the cavalry employed in the police ii,.partment, formed from the refuse of the different regular regiments, in a manner not the most judicious. These entry cared little, in all probability, about a King or a Regent. Their object was to gain the reward which their instigators offered ; and they would just u willingly hays conspired, in the late KING'S reign, in favour of a Coned tution, as they have now done against it. The Portuguese Government seems to act with great energy and prudence, and the whole plan has been Discovered and baffled. There can be no doubt that all future attempts of the same kind in Portugal will meet with melody the same fate. We have received a letter, which eve insert this day, from Mr. JOHN WI s, jun. The composition speaks for itself. Mr. JOHN WiLss, jun. is philosophical in his re flections, stately and dignified in his linguage, stern in his invective, and tremendous in his menaces. If we had known what Mr. Jolts Wtuts, jun. was, we should not have dared to name the name of Mr. JOHN WILK. ; far less should we have dared to insert " such absurd and erroneous, or such vilifying and libellous reports, state ments, and mis-statements," respecting the said Mr. Jolts Wit.xs, jun. We are not sorry to hear that this gentle man, according to his own account, " still enjoys the con fidence of his friends, the affection of all whose friendship he desires, and, above all, that peace of mind resulting from an honest conviction of having acted with rectitude and honour, as a man and a gentleman." Ile assures us that he always acted, in his transactions with the Joint- Stock Companies, " like the most honourable of men ;" and this " most honourable of men" farther saith, that " he will not commence one or two, but many prosecutions, as well against the authors as against the promulgators of those inventions, both of fact and of deduction, which have been of late so current." This most honourable of men declares, also, that he is about to bring the press of this country to reason. He is eloquent in de fending his sale of the Cornish mines—and who ttn doubt (to adopt .l r. WI s's system of interrogation)—who can entertain a doubt about the honour of such a man? Sure he must be an honourable man—so must they all —all honourable men. He " states distinctly, that not merely by civil actions, but by indictments and criminal informations, he is now to proceed, calmly, but firmly, to punish the vile slanderers, and he will be awed by no Paper." Ile is to punish all slanders, " oral and written, past and future." We beg to ask Mr. Jou NWI INS whe ther he means his first proceedings to be civil or criminal? Something depends upon that, and we wish to be prepared. In sober sadness, does Mr. WiLss hope to awe the I'ress in this way ? If he does, he will find himself extremely mistaken. A calm answer, or a modest silence, would have done more to remove the prejudices of the public, than a hundred tirades like that in our Paper of this day. We wish that Mr. Wits' may clear his cha racter ; but really we do not see how that can be accom plished by his present measures. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. The Money Market has exhibited but little energy in its operations to-day. At the opening of Consols there was a slight appearance of depression ; but it did not go beyond an eighth, from which they iintnetliately rallied to their opening price of 791, and so continued to the close of business. The depressionists are getting outrageous at the obstinate resistance which the market makes to any thing like a retrograde movement, while their adversaries gladly shelter th, mselvea under any of the various causes assigned for the• Funds retaining their price. There is little doubt that the quantity of money in the market, and the low rate of interest on which it can be obtained on stock security, operate considerably, while the general condition of the country, as resulting from the present state of tranquillity, cannot but have its full weight on all species of Govern ment security. _ _ . The Foreign Market presents butlittle novelty. Mexican have remained tolerably tranquil at .51;. It is stated on very goad authority that a gentleman, of the name of SHULL'S, has arrived in town from Vera Cruz, which he left on the 29th June, and he states that shortly before he left he witnessed the arrival of a convoy of treasure from Mexico, consisting of 1,700,000 dollars, part of which was for the service of the Government, and the remainder for shipment to England, on account of the dividends. The whole was carried on mules, and the eontructu, or convoy, was necessarily upon a very large scale, and ex cited a considerable sensation at Vera Cruz. The alarm respecting the Chilian Bonds has not altogether subsided ; and though they have tallied a little, they are still two per cent. below their usual quotation, being now at 36. There has been a little done in Greek, which are at 12i. Many persons are disposed to hope that the labours of the Committee of Bondholders will have a good effect upon these securities. They may, certainly, as regards exposing the state of the affairs of the Loan ; Lut it is to be feared the Greek cause can receive but little aid from their la bours, unless indeed they can recall the enormous sum of one hundred and fifty-five thousand pounds sent to America for the purpose of paying for two ships, but which ought to have been sufficient for the purchase of four—as well as of other sums lavished on individuals. If these various amounts could be obtained by the Committee, then, indeed, something might be expected from their operations, fa vourable to the cause whicn tney have so much at heart. The Committee are proceeding very actively in the work intrusted to them, and Mr. GALLOWAY has been before them this afternoon on the subject of the machinery of the steam-boats. Colombian and Spanish are stationary, and Shares appear nearly defunct. Despatches were received at the Foreign Office yesterday, from the Right Honourable Sir Charles fagot, our Am bassador to the Netherlands; and from Lord Granville, our Ambassador at Paris. Extract from a letter of the Agent to Lloyd's, at Gibraltar, dated 17th August:—" The Republican, Colombian pri vateer, is here, strictly watched by the Spanish squadron, one of which is lying alongside her in this port at anchor, the others are anchored in the Spanish waters. Iler tender (a paraga) got out tlir eor four nights since, and, it is said, carries only one gun and forty or fifty men." By the French laws, if a family have no children, and adopt the child of another, such adoption is regularly registered by the Civil Authorities, and the child becomes heir at law to the property of its new parents, and cannot be disinherited by any subsequent caprice of the parties, I who are bound to support it in a manner suitable to their own rank in life. We have learned that some of those agents in the west country, who are the bane of the trade, not satisfied with the reductions which have taken place in the prices of weaving, are endeavouring to reduce them still farther, having offered to a Glasgow house, in the silk line, to get cyprusses done at a cheaper rate than they are woven for at present. Are these individuals really so short-sighted as to suppose that one web more will be sent to them in consequence of this offer ? If they entertain any notion of this kind we will inform them, that in the present state of the trade, the weavers here must work them at any prices ; though our manufacturers, much to their honour, have re sisted the shameful reductions, which some of the Glasgow houses in the silk trade have resorted to. If there is to be no end to this system, even after it is acknowledged that the operatives have been reduced to the starving point, then it is high time they should reconcile themselves to .Jr. Owen's, or any other plan which holds out the prospect of relief, and promises to make them participators in the benefits resulting from their own ingenuity and industry.— Paisley Advertiser.

Sad news this for the Brightonians Kentish Chronicle. _ _ _ The Duke of York transacted business yesterday with Sir Henry Torrent, Adjutant-General, Sir ‘Villongliby Gordon, Quarter-Muter General, and with Sir Herbert Taylor, hie Military Secretary. The usual Medical At tendants visited his Royal Highness. The unfavourable state of the weather has prevented the Royal Duke from taking his accustomed daily airing. Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, transacted business yesterday afternoon with Mr. Secretary Canning, at his office in Downing-street. The Secretary of Legation to the Portuguese Embassy also transacted business at the Foreign Office yesterday. The Earl of Guildford and Sir Francis Burton transacted business yesterday at the Colonial Office with Mr. Wilmot Horton, Under Secretary of State for the Colonial Depart ment. _ Mr. Rufus King, the late American Minister, was the first Minister to this country after the acknowledgment of the independence of the United States by our Government. He remained but a short time in England on his second mission, returning soon after to the United States, leaving his son as the Charge d'Affaires till the arrival of Mr. Galittin. Mr. King, sen. is far advanced in years. Mr. Wilmot Horton arrived in town on Wednesday from Newmarket. On Wednesday the Duke of Wellington was seen, quite well, walking with an umbrella up St. James's-park. His Grace marched with a firm step ; and though be does not look so young as he did 20 years since, yet he looks hale enough to fight a battle or two, should his services he want ing. His Grace, like a wise man, accustoms himself a good deal to walking. Walking is the greatest enemy the gout has. If some of the Royal Family were to walit more than they do, and use their carriages less, they would not be so afflicted. Walking would do more for them than Sir Henry Halton], and all the rest of the fraternity put together.—Morning Paper. A few months since several of the inhabitants of Ken sington-gore, Knightsbridge, and Brompton, signed a me morial to his Majesty, soliciting the privilege of a gate for foot passengers into Hyde Park, there being no accommo dation of the sort between Hyde Park Corner and Ken sington, except through the Horse Barracks at Knights bridge, which is on sufferance, and is both dangerous from restive horses, and little conducive to the morals of fe males intrusted with children. The memorial was pre sented by Lord Morley to Mr. Peel, and submitted by the Right Honourable Secretary to his Majesty, who was gra ciously pleased to accede to the prayer of the petitioners, and ostlers were forthwith given for its erection; it is now in progress, and no doubt in a few days will be open; it is situated opposite Lord Listowel's. At the Meeting of the Gentlemen of the County of Renfrew, held to devise proper measures to alle viate the distress which prevails in the county, "his Ma jesty's Opposition" struggled hard to get politics introduced, and the blame thrown upon his Majesty's Ministers, in which, had they succeeded, the censures would really have been passed upon themselves, because his Majesty's Ministers have only been doing those things (and which have brought the country to its present state) for which his Majesty's Opposition every where have been lauding them to the skies, till even the laudators have become sick of the subject. As Mr. Maxwell very properly stated, " Why blame them," when they have only been following the voice of the country? Ministers, we admit, have been doing this. They have followed where they should haveguided, and when they should have led ; and so far and no farther are they blameable, though they are responsible. Mr. Wallace brought forward the old hackneyed subjects, war and taxation, and the depreciation of the cur rency. Now, unfortunately for this gentleman's state ments, a Bank of England One Pound Note will at this moment, in Nantes and other parts of France, buy 20s. 9.1. in the best gold and silver, and the continued flow of the precious metals from the Continent into this country shows our currency to be stable, and at a premium instead of be ing unsettled and depreciated. With regard to war and taxation, the former cannot be carried on without the lat ter, and the events of the last thirty years are deeply writ ten in the records and on the memory of Europe, and show that the war could not be avoided. That great Statesman (Mr. Fox), to whom Mr. Wallace alludes, when Secretary for the Foreign Department, had settled that point, when, in his correspondence with Continental Powers, he asserted that it was impossible to make peace with the French Government. Consequently, as peace could not be made, the war must have been as unavoidable and ne cessary as its termination was most honourable and most glorious. The real causes of the distress of the country were scarcely even glanced at by any one at this meeting. Mr. Wallace, in particular, as ship and colo nial proprietor, might, we think, have told it, and from personal knowledge of the results, with some effect. The counties of Renfrew, Bute, Argyle, Ayr, Dumbarton, and Lanark, may rest assured that the depression of the trade of the Clyde with our North American Colonies and with our West India Colonies is a much more serious evil to the interest and prosperity of these counties, in particular, than the loss of every market in South America. Yet, this trade has not only been most deeply injured, but the very foundations of it have been undermined and almost en tirely struck away by the measures of Government, so much lauded by his Majesty's Opposition. These, and such things as these, where they have not directly produced the stagnation of business in this country, and the distress necessarily resulting from this stagnation, have tended greatly to aggravate it, and for this the country is moat un questionably more to blame than his Majesty's Ministers.— Glasgow Courier. The festivities of Bartholomew fair closed on Wednes day night. The efforts made by the " City authorities" to do away altogether with this annual spectacle have been more successful this year than they have hitherto been.— The prices of.the ground on which the booths were to have been formed have been so excessively high ; that few of the public showmen could afford the expense; and those who did venture on the undertaking have been considerable losers. Hence the absence of Gyngell, Saunders, and other prominent caterers of this description of amusement. The weather also has been materially against the receipts. On Tuesday, Richard Blanchard, and two other boys, were convicted of pulling up beans, growing in a field in the township of Ferrihy, in this county, the property o f John Kidd, farm er , an d fined 40s. each. In default of payment, they were committed to the House of Correction, to hard labour, for one mouth.—Hall Packet. LISBON PAPERS. SUPPLEMENT TO No. 196 or THE LISBON GAZETTE. LISBON, AUGUST 22. BY AUTHORITY. The extraordinary spectacle which this night disturbed this capi. tal, and gave another opportunity to display the noble spirit that animates its inhabitants, must necessarily have cached the public anxiety, and, in spite of the happy result obtained by the energetic measures—the hour, the circumstances, the vague rumours, and in. correct explanations which generally circulate on such occasions, doubtless alarmed all the friends of legitimate order—all true Por. tuguese. We hasten to tranquillize them with a succinct but ac curate account of the circumstances which destined this memorable night to a disastrous epoch of rebellion and infamy, as well as of the events which turned it into a night, or rather day, of triumph happy and glory for the most holy cause of die King and of the nation—a cause which is one and indvisible by its own nature and by our love, by the generosity and justice of a Sovereign who has united them for ever by such wrong ties. An insane conspiracy of a handful of wicked intriguers already known for their immorality, who want, notwithstanding, to re cognise such blessings. whose perverse nature has nut the will to embrace them—bad citizens, and worse subjects, conceived, in their frenzied imagination, the mad project of rebelling against their legitimate King and natural Sovereign, of annihilating the sacred institutions which, emanating from the Throne, have their origin in nature, and their foundation in justice, anti which, guaranteeing the eminence! rights of the Sovereign and his pro. party, ensure the general preservation and felicity. A conspiracy. as odious in its objects as in its chiefs, must necessarily procure instruments of its own character. Other revolutions originated in ; the tieing or the populace, or the revolt of the arnmed force; this availed itself of a corps expressly instituted for the protec tion of the citizens, and the maintenance of public order, and which for these reasons ought, more than any other, to refrain from taking part in the smallest comm otion. whatever may be the grounds of it. The corps of Cavalry of the Police, excited and directtd by chiefs not belonging to that corps, and with a part of the infan try, was to march, between midnight and one o'clock, to the Campopequeno, and there wait to be joined by some corps of the capital, which they hoped to have contaminated. lf, realize ing their foolish hopes, they were joined by • considerable num ber, they were to proceed to the crime of proclaiming a new King and new Regency, destroying, with the legitimacy of the Sovereign and of the Government, the institutions of his wisdom, establishing the absurd system of absolute power, which never governed or prevailed in Portugal till after Portugal ceased to be that heroic and renowned nation which astonished Europe by its great deeds and its riches; and in proportion as arbitrary power rose, we gradually declined to that mate of insignificance to which we were so long reduced, and in which we should still be with out the powerful ann of our magnanimous restorer. In case they should not collect a sufficient tince to perpetrate the parricide, they intended to proceed to Villa Franca there to watch the movements of the capital and its garrison, and if theme were not favourable to them, to follow the footsteps of the disbanded regi ments (the 21 of cavalry, and 17th of infantry), and to desert to Spain. But Providence, which watches over the Portuguese nation, and its august dynasty, and the hand of God, which is extended over good kings, reduced to nothing the chimerical projects of the ill-disposed. The Government, which does not slumber in the difficult circumstances of the country, and which has marked and constantly observes all those who merit its distrust, Wallad the wicked conspiracy, and the measures taken were so opportunely and so well planned, that the whole plot was defeated. The four companies of cavalry of police, which were the chief in struments of the rebellion, were disarmed, and the whole garrison of the capital, animated by the best spirit, appeared the faithful supporters of the legitimate throne, and of the public liberties ; all the corps vied with each other in zeal and dismipline. An innumerable multitude of citizens accompanied with accla mations the faithful defenders of the law and the King, and the hour destined for anarchy and rebellion passed over in tranquillity. It is hardly necessary to observe, that the soldiers were purely passive in this as in all revolts; that the officers gradually de moralized them by inspiring hatred of the peaceable citizens, dis affection to the King and to his Court, and makit.g them conceive false and fatal ideas of the regenerating system which his 111ajesty has thought fit to establish in these kingdoms, and which, in spite of its infamous enemies, rill be as durable as the nation of which it will constitute the happiness. All measures, all precautions, are taken for the total destruction of the crime, and the exemplary punishment of the criminals. Be at ease, honourable Portuguese, and bless Providence, which has so manifestly protected us in this ever-memorable day. AUGUST 23. The Gu.-:rite of this date contains some reflections on the conspi racy; the editors observe that there is not so much reason to be surprised at this treason in a corps, which, with very few excep tions, is composed of the refuse of all the corps of the army. Acomesr 24. The Princess Regent has appointed Don Jose Joaquin] Rodri guez de (lustros to the post or Intendant-General of the Police of the capital and the kingdom. The Governorof Tres-os-Montes writes from Braganca (the 16th) that the measures he hat adopted have restored , ranquillity and order in the province. In a letter of time same date, at midnight, he says he has just learned that the rebels were greatly dissatisfied at not having met the decisive support which had been promised to them on the part of the Spanish Government ; the Intendant-Ge neral of the province into which they had fled having declined to them that they were subordinate to bite,, and prohibiting them under the strictest responsibility from meddling iu any menace in the po litical concerns of the two nations. The Governor of Alentejo writes from Estsemas, 21st of August, that General Azeredo, commanding the troops, wrote to him from Villa Viciosa the day before, that the rebels were entirely disarmed, that on the 17th they marched to Zdlatneia Oe la Serena, twenty. eight leagues from the frontier., and that he was assured that the Spanish Government had only given orders to furnish them with bread. Tile Governors of Minho and of Algarve write that all continued tranquil ;here. The same in the other provinces. AUGUST 26. A notice from the War-office, signed by the 31intst , r, speaks in high terms of the behaviour of the troops employed to disarm the conspirators. The Princess Regent, he says, knows that these alarms are the unhappy consequences of the cisndeutine machina tions of perverse men, who desire to perpetuate abuses which feed their pride and encourage their crimes. Her Highness knows, that among the absurdities brought forward by the preachers of anarchy, they never forget to say that a King who is absent is not a King ; but they do not remember that Dun Alphonso V. was called the African, because he always fought in Africa; that Sebastian fell prematurely, though gloriously, in Africa ; ai,d that many of our Kings were long absent from Portugal • and that the Portuguese of those days followed them, fought acr d fell by their bides, but never rebelled in their absence. The army will observe (her Royal Highness orders me to re peat) the different treatment reserved for fidelity and rebellion; the former acquires praise, the recompense of the sovereign, the blessings of families, the gratitude of the country : the latter, punishment, dishonour, contempt, and the gallows. If the obedi ent soldier is the ornament, the defender of his king, his country. the throne, and the altar ; the rebellious soldier is a ferocious proorian, sold to the highest bidder, worthy of public execration and of death. Her Highness. in the name of the King Don Pedro IV. her august brother and King, again orders me to repeat that the re. ward and the punishment due to loyalty or to rebellion shall be distributed promptly, and with an even hand. The same fate, the same disgrace. straits every corps, every individual who is more swayed by wickedness and rebellion than by virtue and the fidelity which the Portuguese always showed to their legitim a t e Sovereigns. JOAO CARLOS DE SALDANHA OLIVEIRA E. DAVE. PINTO. (A true Copy) LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 6.—We have had a brisk cotton market this day; about 4,000 bales sold at an advance of to on last week's prices. Including this day, there have been about 10,000 a 11,000 bales during the week. B. P. Sugars are very stiff, and very few offering, but at a further advance. We record the following as an instance of commercial despatch :—The Irlam, of Liverpool, arrived at Barbadoes on the 22.1 of July, was discharged, took in a cargo of pro duce, and sailed for Greenock on the 28th, having been only 6 days in discharging, loading, and preparing for sea. It is with extreme pleasure we find that the gloomy fore bodings with which our mind was oppressed a few months ago, on the contemplation of the then existing depression of trade, have not been, nor are now likely to be, fulfilled ; but that on the contrary the indications of the revival of trade, and consequent diminution of distress, are every week more strong and cheering. The progress of returning prosperity is indeed slow, and much distress does still exist, and must necessarily do so for some mouths to come. The poor in these, the manufacturing districts, have been com pelled by the pinching cries of hunger to part with the little remains of furniture and bedding they had, and even the clothes from off their backs ; their houses now present a moat miserable anti heart-rending spectacle, and it is truly distressing to see their little ones wandering about half-naked and destitute.—Blackburn Mail. Potatoes have greatly improved since - the rains. In a particular field the crop has doubled within the lust three weeks. The pastures in this county are beautifully ver dant. Many shrubs and flowers are putting forth new blossoms, and give the gardens an appearance of spring. The district of Angus has not been so abundantly supplied with rain as this vicinity. The graziers front that quarter complain there is little improvement in pastures, and that fodder is very scarce. In Ayrshire, on the contrary, the improvement in the grass and the potatoes is greater than in any of the adjacent counties. On the road leading from Stewarton to Irvine there are a number of fields of excel lent potatoes, and bets have been offered that several of them will yield from 40 to SO bolls an acre.—Glasgow Chronick. GRE MC DEPUTIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. was my intention to have abstained from making any remarks, through the medium of the public preskra tive to the part which I have been called upon to take io the affairs of my country, and I regret exceedingly t h u any circumstance should have occurred to render it nee ta , nary for me now to obtrude upon your columns. Perceiving however, by the report if the proceedings at the meeting of Oita Bondholders, on Monday, that an attimpt wa s mad, to prejudice Mr. Orlando (who has now this country' and myself, in the estimation of the British publi c, by ya.l presenting that we had refused to permit our accounis be investigated, I feel it incumbent on me to set t h e matter in a correct point of view, that this, as well as other ill. founded statements, may he received with that caution which partial or intecested representations merit. 'l t Bowring read to the meeting a letter of the :ltl of May la st . in answer to one addressed by us to him, without reading' our letter, or giving the slightest explanation of what ha occurred previously, or of what subsequently took place. IYhether it was from an unintentional omission that Nit Bowring produced a part only of the correspondence, o; whether he was influenced by any private m ot i ve to do so I shall leave to others to determine. You, Si r , and the public!, will judge what foundation there in fact, For the unfavourable impression thus produced, when you read the following letter, written by Mr. Orlantlo and myself, and to which that produced by Mr. Bowring at the moo n& was an answer. ge o Sackville.otreet. May I, 1020. Sir.—We have the honour to acknowledge th e rece i pt your note of the 27th oh , containing a ropy of the ution e ntered into by the Committee on the previous day, by which Messrs. llobhoeut Hume, C. H. Sheridan, Colonel Stanhope, and yourself, were r pointed a Sub. Committee. with power to add to th e number, e, communicate with Mr. Spaniolacki and ourselves, and to rep qrt diseretionally to the General Committee as early as possible; one i t appears that the Committee were led to adopt this resolution to consequence of a letter from Mr. Spaniolacki, urgin g the appoint. ;tient of • Sub-Committee for the purpose of going into all the t!e. tails of the appropriation of the Imam and of effectually coupe. rating for the service of Greece. From the trim,' of the rerolofi t i, we have been daily in expectation of seeing or hearing from the Sub-Committee, and we have doubted much whether it would he proper for us to take any notice of the resolution until we should b e favoured with sonic further communication ; but not having to this time received any, we are induced now to trespass upon your ana l . lion, lest, by a longer silence, we should be considered as meeting to the right of investigation, which the Committee, at the suggesi u; of Mr. Spaniolacki, would seem to have assumed. In any measures which the Committee can suggest for the service of our country, it is netalless fur us to say that we shall most cheerfully and grate. fully acquiesce, and we feel persuaded that with the effective co. operation of the Committee much valuable aid may still be lettered to the cause which Greece is struggling to maintain ; but we must take leave to state, that as regards the appropriation of the loon, we consider ourselves accountable only to thz. Greek Govemmett. To that Government we have duly accounted for all the monies we have received, or over which we have had any . control; and Mr. Spaniolacki ha: at all times had the means of investigating theta accounts, and of calling the attention of our Government to cry particular item, or to any part of the expenditure which he my think in the slightest th gree improvident, inexpedient, or akin!. tionable. For ourselves, too, ,tul speaking as individuals, we can have no objection to the whole of our accounts, and every transaction connected with them, beirg submitted to public scrutiny ; and if it be the wilt of any member of the Committee (to all and each of whom we and our country owe many obligations) to enter into the details of the appropriation of the loan, we shall with pleasure lay the whole of our accounts before him, and fur. nigh the fullest explanations in our power ; but whilst we are per. fectly willing to give this information to any individual member of the Committee in his private character of a friend, we firstly though respectfully decline to submit those details to any body, except our Government, which we regard as possessing the each. sive tight to exercise such investigation. We take this opportunity of requesting that you will convey to the several members of the Committee our deep sense of the in. terest which they continue to take in the cause of Greece, sal our hope that they will, in her present critical state, employ their best efforts in her behalf ; and we trust that neither a spirit of in. trigue, nor a disposition to promote dissension, will be permitted to interrupt that feeling of concord which is so essential tut saw. ing her independence. We have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) JOHN OR LANDO. AND. LITRIOTTIL John Bowring, Esq., Hon. Secretary to the I .l:cea Committee. To the letter read by Mr. Bowring, at the meeting on Monday, in reply to the above, we had prepared an answer, referring more particularly to the intrigues alluded to ; but we did not forward this letter to the Sub-Committee, in consequence of an interview with Mr. Hobhouse, in which I personally explained to him the desire that existed in a certain quarter to create dissension, and the injurious con sequences likely to result to our country; when Mr. Mob. house stated that he should not mix himself up with the affair, and recommended that no further notice should bt taken of the matter. I think it right to add, that, so far from desiring to avoid an inquiry into the accounts, I had requested a friend to attend the meeting on Monday, for the purpose of comum nicating my readiness to submit the whole of them to in reetigation ; and that, had it depended on my individual wish, a public meeting would have been called for the same purpose, by the Deputies themselves, many months ago. I have indeed been the more anxious that those who take an interest in our affairs should be made acquainted with the actual state of them, because I have long felt, as I do now, that except by a more powerful influence than we had the means of exercising over the engineer employed to construct certain machinery, such machinery would not be completed until it became useless to Greece, eithar by her fall or the ultimate triumph of her cause. It was with considerable pain I perceived by your report that Colonel Stanhope had indulged in language of invec tive against myself. As matter of opinion, unaccompanied by arty explanation of the grounds upon which that opinion was formed, I may be allowed to express a confident hope that but hide importance will be attached to it. Those who have known most of the gallant Colonel, in his well. intended efforts on behalf of my country (and particularly the late and deeply-lamented Lord Byron), have expressed themselves in reference to his conduct in similar terms of disapprobation. Far be it from me to detract in the smallest degree from the merits of the gallant Officer, or any other of those real friends of Greece who are willing to extend a helping hand to her in her struggle for inde pendence ; but whilst I fully appreciate the good inten tions of Colonel Stanhope, I am entitled to claim from biro the same measure of justice. I am perfectly sensible that those who occupy public situations, and particularly those who are supposed to have large sums of money under their control, are exposed to much misrepresentation and consequent prejudice; and though the situation I have filled was not one of my own seeking, yet I could not expect to escape the attacks t f the interested and designing. The result of the investigation, which the meeting of Monday has recommended, will best show to whom, if to any one, blame is to be attached ; and as, on the one hand, it would ill become me to offer any opinion on matters in which I sin persogally concerned, and which are about to be laid before the public; so, on the other, that public is, I am persuaded, too just and im partial to decide until all the facts are before it. I have the honour to he, Sir, your most obedient servant, 29, Sackville-street,Sept. 7. AND. LCRIVITIS. It is understood that there is a disposition on the part of many of the heads of the Wesleyan Methodists to return to the old plan of acting in union with the Established Church and they will therefore hold no meetings in canonical hours, when there is service in their respective parish churches, nor will their preachers administer the sacrament. The distrait, from want of water has become at Boston almost unbearable. Nearly six months have elapsed since any rain fell in the neighbourhood, except alight and partial showers at distant intervals, the supplies of water from which were speedily exhausted. Not only has vege tation nearly ceased in consequence, but the water used ler domestic purposes has frequently been of so noxious a quality, and apparently unwholesome a nature, that it . providential more disease has not ensued. —Cheltenham Chronicle. On Wednesday afternoon, about half-past four o'clock, s stout elderly woman entered the shop of 11'r. Barber, of llolywell-street, hair-dresser, and "requested to see some " fronts."
