" Be convinced that the Prioress Regent, who is responsible to Ler august brother, Don Pedro IV. for the a .7esetration of his kingdom of Portugal, will know how to keep down those who au eatiously refuse to recognise his charter." A decree of the Regent abolishes for ever the 17th and 24th re gunents of foot, and the 2d of horse, as a ponislin.ent for their te'itaion.

At Adrianople all was traneuil, according to letters of the 20th. Barracks were building for 12,000 men. The Ministers at Conitantinople are still under tents. It does not appear that the camp is to break up. as was said, on the Ist of next month, which is the beginning of th e new year among fly: Turks. The Sultan has just taken a step, which has spread consternation in the capital. The Turks, it is well known, cannot do without smoking and drinking coffee ; and all the coffee-houses in Con stantinople, without exception, are shut up. The Topeltis, who have guarded the city gates since the late revolution, have been re lieved by new troops in uniform. The Sultan, after the review at Eski Semi, ordered a consider able gratuity to be given to each soldier. The plague is spreading at Constantinople.

PAR ts, Ara. 22. We have'received PO many contradictory versions concerning the voyage of Lord Cochrane, that if we do not wish to consider them invented on purpose to deceive the public, we shall be obliged to suppose that this Admiral has formed a plan of a very extraordinary nature. The first news which we received of hint was from Al meira, on the 10th of June ; but it was not believed that he was himself on board the steam .vessel which had entered that port. The same vessel was at Cagliari and Messina, from which it set out on the 12th June. It was probably this vessel which entered Na poli di Romania, laden with his Lordship's baggage, and with some cannon of a very large calibre. It was believed that his Lordship was on board, and that he wished to remain incognito, in order to judge better of the situation of affairs. But we have since received the following front Trieste, dated the 15th August : —" A singular and yet probable rumour circulates here for some days. It is affirmed that the celebrated Admiral Lord Cochrane has arrived direct at Malta in a private pleasure ?meld, and that he set out from that island without any one being able to trace him ; but it is supposed that he is voyaging in the Arc ipelago,or on the coasts 0( Egypt, collecting nautical and military information in person. lie will not give up his incognito till all the stearnoressels be united at Napoli di Romania. Ile will then disco.er his projects. FRENCH FUNDS.—PAaIs, AVG. 23.-4 per Cents. 100 f. 70e.; 3 per Cents. tkif. lile.; Bank Stock, 2010 f. ; Rentes de Na- Pies, 72f. 80c ; Royal Spanish Irian, 48.

Complaints have been made to us of partiality in our report of the proceedings at the Meeting of the Norfolk Rail-Road Company; and we have inserted a letter con taining very severe animadversions on the subject. No thing could be farther from our intentions than to insert an unfair report of any meeting whatever. Our report agrees with that inserted in all our contemporary Journals. Mr. HENDRICK s has also thought proper to send us about a column of his justification—which we could not of course insert, both on account of its length, and because we do not wish to make our columns a vehicle of contro versy farther than is absolutely necessary. The natural answer to an attack made at a meeting is by a defence in that meeting; and Mr. II estuatcr s must be aware that ire hive never gone out of our way to asperse him or any other individual whatever. In justice to Mr. Ile N oumea we must say thus much :—He states, that if Mr. CLANK had called upon him, he would not only have explained the circumstances, but would have produced satisfactory documents in support of his explanations. Mr. Ct.aax, be adds, was requested by one of his clerks, by his (Mr. 11.'1) directions, to call upon him for that purpose ; but he (Mr. C.) refused to do so. Mr. Hs xnatt es farther observes, that our refusal to insert his letter leaves him no alternative but to give the contradiction to the foul libels published against him in some other form. Ice observe, in looking over the Share Lists, that the Potosi Mining Shares, frcm being at a serious dis count, have suddenly risen till they have attained a consi derable premium. The cause of this change is said to be the favourable intelligence which has recently been received from the mines. It would not be difficult to show that no joint-stock Company ought to have its shares at any consi derable premium at the present moment. The only divi dends which could be expected upon the capital of such Companies would be a moderate interest on the money ad vanced. The profits of private mercantile transactions can not be brought into comparison with those on large specu latimts of this sort. In private business tke profits are in many cases only the wages of superintending labour; in others, they are the premium of insurance on risks; in others, they are the interest on stock in trade; and in all they are the rewards of the skill by which the merchant discovers the cheapest market for purchase and the dearest for sale. In no case is profit a mere separate account, as it is sometimes considered. It always covers risk, rewards skill, or compensates anxiety. It would be unreasonable, therefore, for the shareholder in a joint-stock Company to expect that lie should reap the same fruits in his joint stock transactions as he would do in his private concerns, unless he should himself submit to the same labour, risk, and anxiety, in the management of the partnership busi ness, as he does in his private transactions. This he would not willingly do, without some peculiar advan tages to himself above the other inactive members of the Company. In short, agents, secretaries, &c. must be found to conduct the business of the concern, and to receive their pay in proportion to their labour. Now, in the na ture of things, business so conducted by persons not imme diately or solely interested in it never can be managed with so much watchfulness, economy, and unity of counsel, as in a private business; while the managers must, at the same time, be paid in proportion to the . abilities required, and to the trust confided in them. In short, the most that can be expected of them is, that they will manage the transac tions so as to be able to pay the interest on the sums ad vanced. We do not mean to assert that no joint-stock Company ever divided more than 5 per cent.; facts corn , pletely disprove that ; but it will always be found, even in cases of this sort, that the final success of the undertaking does little wore than pay the original risk, with the inte rest deferred, and the permanent risk in the i,tisiness. It would be unreasonable to expect anything more from such undertakings. In the case of Mining Shares, it is certain that the successful concerns ought to divide very high, if they divide anything like the sums necessary to cover the risks which individuals submit to who embark their capi tal in such uncertain speculations. Of all the ways in which money may be laid out for the purpose of bringing in interest, mining is by far the most hazardous. In the first place, the hazards of finding mines in a country are to be reckoned. In the m xt place, the value and extent of the mines may be such as render it unadvisable to employ ca pital on them. In the third place, the accidents insepa rable from mining transactions must he taken into the ac count. And, in the last place, the ultimate success of the speculation, if it were very brilliant, would, in a great measure, destroy itself; metals being, in all cases, a specks of commodity, fur which the demand must necessarily be limited. After reaching a certain degree of abun dance, the farther increase of the general stock would diminish the value of the commodity so much, that it would render its: turnofr production unpretable. This is particularly the casein the precious metals. In most cases where English capital has been laid out in mining, not only have these circumstances of disadvantage been in full operation, but, in addition to all these unfavourable points, the mines have in many instances been situated in foreign countries—and in countries, too, whose governments ' are in so unsettled a state, that the public funds 'cannot be depended upon ; and there is nothing to guarantee the spe culators against military revolution, foreign invasion, or municipal oppression. The nrojecbm's of these societies forget that no Government can willingly encourage any system by which a considerable portion of the riches de rived from her own territories could fall into the hands of foreigners. Admitting the utmost success of the South Ame rican Mining Companies, is it likely that the Governments of the new States would continue long without making some endeavour to prevent money from being carried out of the country in the shape of dividends, salaries, &c.? In short, the hopes of the dealers in South American Mining Shares must be very sanguine indeed ; they must look for some profit very much exceeding the ordinary rate of what are considered fair profits, before they can be induced to with draw money from any other mode of employment, to turn it into so hazardous a channel. Ordinary prudence might teach them that servants out of their masters eye will sel dom do their best, and will never do any thing in the most economical and advantageous manner. A tradesman is afraid to trust his workmen to themselves in his shop while he dines. Can the same tradesman expect his workmen to do their duty in South America ? There are some coun tries naturally allied to England—some FO situated with re spect to the sea as to be at our mercy in the event of war. In such countries English property might be very advan tageously invested, and might enable us to form colonies without the expense of garrisons; but there are few parts of South America in which this can be sa'd to be the case; and even were there many such districts, we do not by any means think mining either the most secure or the most profitable method of employing capital. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. It would almost seem that the Bulls and the Bears have come to an armistice upon the subject of Consols, and that the stipulation, as regards them, is, that they shall remain at 7Sil until the settlement, inasmuch as they have con tinued another whole day at the same quotation. It is said that the jobbers are merely making up their accounts; what sort of an account it is to be, with Consols stationary for such a period, it is difficult to imagine. Exchequer Hills are 18, 19, and Indian Bonds us. but not much doing in them. In the Foreign Market, the first is priority stands Mexi can Bonds, which•opened at 464 41, during the day went up to .t!), and finally left off at 485. The statement of to. day iv, that a letter has been received, which asserts posi tively the shipment of 1,200,000 dollars, for the purpose of the payment of these dividends. October is not yet arrived, and, therefore, no ground of complaint can pro perly as yet be made ; while, in the mean time, these re ports will of course be brought in aid of the speculations for a rise. One fact seems clear, that bills drawn by the Mexican Government on this country do not find accepters: and it is therefore fair matter of apprehension, that though they may have the will, the means may be wanting. It has been said that Messrs. Baum; have undertaken the management of the affairs in question ; but this wants con firmation ; anti it is to be fairly apprehended that they would only accept the office on one condition, viz.—the arrival of such an amount of funds as would justify them in so doing. Colombian Bonds arc doomed, at last, to separate themselves from the supposed connexion which was thought to exist between them and the more favoured Mexicans, and they remain neglected at 33.4 ; but they cannot complain, for all other Foreign Stock, with one ex ception, is in the same predicament. In Greek there has been a slight movement, which have shown a rise of one per cent. during the day, and finally closed at 134. The intelligence from thence is wholly bar ren as to news from Lord COCHRANE j but it is important as it regards the political state of Greece. It appears, from a communication of the Committee of National Assembly (which will be found in another column of this paper), that they bad been convocatetl at New Epidaurus, anti their first acts were to form two Commissions : one the Governative, charged with the administration of the inte rior ; and the other that of the Assembly, to have the direc tion of Foreign Affairs, and to whom all matters of finance is to be referred. The first act of th e latter Committee has been to direct the withdrawing of the Deputies from England, and that they shall submit their accounts for exami nation to three individuals, in order that they may be audited. These individuals to consist of Mr. SPANIO - as possessing the confidence of the Greek Govern ment, and the other two to be respectable Englishmen. This act of the Government has arrived very opportunely, as it is understood that a meeting of the Greek Bondholders will be called as early as possible, in order that they may come to some resolutions as to obtaining information of the nature of the expenditure of the monies intrusted to the Deputies, as well as to go fully into the question of the delay in sending out the steam-boats to Lnrd COCHRANE. It is also said, bin not on official authority, that 'V t- La vet had been elected Prvsident. The Potoso Mining Shares have advanced to 16 per share. In the course of Exchange there is little or no variation. By the Mary Ann, Winter, from Adra, we have advices to the 21st July. The . Janet was taking in lead ore for Liverpool, and was expected to sail in ten days. Great in convenience was experienced at Mra and the neighbouring places, in consequence of the annoyance given to the coasting trade by three Colombian privateers, commanded by English or Americans, which had been for some time cruising about the Gut of Gibraltar, and captured a number of small vessels. The Gut was completely block aded, and whatever vessels they captured were taken into Gibraltar antr i sold. On the 28th July, at 3 P.M. in lat. 37. 32. N. long. 925, the Mary Ann wig branght-to by these pri vateers. having taken her for a Spanish vessel; but finding their mistake, they inquired after a small Spanish vessel which was known to he in the neighbourhood. The priva teer kept company all night, and in the morning separated, to the great comfit? t of the Mary Ann's crew, for it scema to he a very common practice for the commanders of these privateers to take what provisions, &c. th e y requite, either front British vessels, or those of any other nation, and pay for the goads by a bill on London, which generally turns out not to be worth a farthing. This is a system which is little short of piracy, and re qnires the interference of an English vessel of war to cheek it. This privateer was about IA tons burthen, and aimed with about In guns: the officer told the Captain of the Mary Ann that he had the night previously cap. Lured a small Spanish vessel with passengers, and, after plundering her of e ver y thing of value, had released her. lite Mary Ann passed in the Gut, Europa Point di stant four leagues West, a Spanish squadron, consisting of six sail of feluccas, in search of the Colombian privateers. She also subsequently passed an English frigate (name un known), bearing towards the Gut. It is therefore hoped that a stop will shortly be put to these depredations. It was fearcd at Adra that th e C o l o mbian privateera would pay it a visit, in which case there was no doubt but the town woulti soon become a prey to plimeer, for its means of de fence were not such as to enable it to hold out long. ORFRCE. The following letter has been received from the Greek Government : TOE COMMITTEE OF IRE NATIONAL. ASSEMOLT TO MR. ®PANIOI.ACKI, 1.014D0N. The National Assembly, whose Convocation has been so long de sired by the Greek nation, met about two months ago, at New Epi daurus. As circumstances have not allowed sufficient time to coin. idete Its labours, it has instituted two Commissions.—one the Go vernative, which is charged with the interior administration of Greece ; and the other is called the Committee of the Assembly, which is charged with Foreign .lffairsa and with the arrangements of all accounts from the first to the second period. This Committee, composed of the undersigned, has receivA the express orders of the National Assembly to withdraw the Deputa tion from London, and to receive their accounts; to which end three individuals, possessing its confidence, will be named, o !on you Sir, will be one, anti the Committee thinks proper that the other two should be respectable Englishmen. In the mean time, the Committee desires you will from the pre vent moment seek to elicit truth, and examine the accounts. The Committee, as anon as time will allow, intends to address you more at length on this subject. Nauplia, June 10 (22), 1820. (Signed) PANUTZO NI/TARA, President. The Arch bimhop of A RTA PORN!

By this Act, his Majesty the King of France and Navarre, in his name, and that of his heirs and suc cessors, acknowledges the independency of the Brazilian Empire, and the imperial dignity in the perwm of Don Pedro the First, and his legitimate heirs and successors.

The following letter from the Agents at Havre, dated August '22, was received at Lloyd's yesterday : We beg leave to communicate to you the extract of a Report re end, made to the King by his E xcellency the Minister of the Marine, relative to the Slave Trade ; and inasmuch as it displays the good faith and earnest desire of this Government to suppress to the ut most of its power that odious commerce, we have considered it would be agreeable to Lloyd's to receive an authentic commun. cation of the following details Excellency states to the King that the French Government has never relaxed in its effints foe the suppression of the Slave Trade. That the naval station on the coast of Africa, which up to the present time consisted of a sloop of war and two brigs, and four other vessels, has tweedy been reinthrced by a frigate. That another force had been ordered to cruise off'Clibis—that the tie. vcrnors of French colonies and Naval Officer's, commanding in the West Indies, Cayenne, Bordeaux, and Madagascar, had received the most positive and pressing injunctions to use all due vigilance. and to seize all French vessels which might attempt to trade in Slaves. That orders had been hotted from the Department of the Marine, addre s sed to all King's ships on their leaving French ports, to assist in the repression of this odious traffic, by heard tog. and searching all French vessels suspected of engaging in the same, and to detain those whose lading and equipment fur• niched proof of their being slave ships. The Al inister observes that a Royal decision held out to the captors a premium of 100 francs head.money ter each slave brought in to be employed in the public works—that French Consuls in the western coasts of America were authorized to sequester any French ship convicted of tradirg in slaves, with orders to send her to the nearest French Colony tar adjudication. Filially, the Naval Authorities in the ports of France are required to throw every obstacle in the way of the el .seance of any vessel 'those outfit and general equipment may appear suspicions. They are t emintandra to be vigilant in pre. tenting the shipment of maraeles calculated for fastening s'aves together ; as also of a greater number of water-casks or boilers S han may be strictly necessary for the crew; and not to deliver t:e muster-roll in all cases where the number of the crew shall excel that t.sually empleyed in vessels to which no auspic on attic es. The Report adds, that all contraventions to the laws prohibitery of hailing in slaves are judicin!le provided against; that any, t!ll elighten element of proof, shall famish sufficient ground for bringing the delinquents before the tribunals. It states, that sinee 1817, lan cases hive been submitted to the Courts abroad and at home, which have led to :it; convL.ions and 74 acquittals, leavine 26 in which the legal proce lore is still incomplete. The Aliniste: concludes by observing, " Such, Sire, are the measures commanded and acted on with rigour, in order to came e the strict execution of treaties and of the laws. If reey have net entirely suppressed this forbidden traffic, at least they prove that the Government Unsex nothing having this object in view." Letters from Bahia, of the 14th June, mention all was quiet there, but business very dull. Some rain had fallen, which would relieve the country people, it was expected. MANCHESTER, Ace. '2l.—lt has been ascertained that hundreds of lay-payers made the effort to get admittance to the late Meeting, but did not succeed, so completely was the room filled.
