One of those attempt.; but too frequent in this day of impoature and credulity, has been made on the money market within • kw days, in the slacieus i.hape of a Greek Loan.

For ourselvca, after the strictest inquiry, we du not believe that the Sclavonian and Greek (or pretended 4:reck), Mr. Ilendrik's deputies, have any authority what ever to contract this loan. llut what espolients will not fraud or nisersaity resort to?

Mr. Bowring holds the only authentic document, authorising a loan in the came of Greece, and this barefaced attempt at imposition rr•.ua give him great pain. The mock loan has, as yet, lad uo success whatever, and will we trust, be scouted with intimation in the money market. It is calculated only to entail ruin on those who engage in it to any amount, and laming down unmerited opprobrium on the Greek nation, But loans are the bubble of the day ; we shall yet hear of (me, we suppose, for Terra Incognita, or one of the t /to- L itan islands, taken by write worthy contractor, fur the ewe/Wants, perhaps, of Adams. the mutineer from the Bounty.

The circular of Lord pathurst to the Colonies, which reached us by the last arrivals, anal which appeared ex clesively in our paper of yesterday, is well calculated to cold fit"th various reflections from the different parties, ac cordion" to the interests and objects which they have re %ye:lively at make. 'lle first remark that will occur, lore think, to every reflective MO unprejudiced resider t: this it:Mei:ll document will be, that there is nothing definitive, nothing distinct about it : much it said about religion and relig'ous instruction, " u the foundation of every belie chanpu iti the character and future condition of the Ills Majesty's Government too, we arc told, " is deeply impressed with this truth, and with the necessity of maintaining an adequate manlier of clergymen and t uchers throughout the W'cst Indies, with episcopal control, so that whatever becomes of the impales, we shall at least open a new mine of church patronage. If the reveaurs of the colonies an insufficient, " his Mroje%ty's :Li seratrent," Lord Bathurst tells diem, " will not he tats to apply to Parliament for such p..cidoiary xratitt as may be reqiiirisl," and it cannot doubt—it covtainly would not be justified by experionc^ in so do ing--but that " Parliament teill ehietrultte contrilnile,"and so on.

When we look at 1 ro—when we look even into our enlightened , Courts and Parliaments," the state of things is not consolatory. That says our popular preacher, Mr. Irving, whose congregations can scarce find standing-room? " In this Christian Country," he assures us, " there are per haps, sine tenths of every class who know nothing at all about the applications and advantages of the single truths of revelation, or of revelation taken as a whole!" And this, after centuries have chaired, ib our spirlhosi dith,n! this is ntir " l one-els is shrine things," with a Church by law established, and as well paid and well dis ciplined as any state religion need wish or require! With what better KIICaIiN we may propound the orthodox articles of our creed to the conscience of the colonial negro, is matter of experiment ; but, in the meantime, what becomes of the affair of emancipation during the long period that it will most probably take to make them "rehearse the arts des of their belief?" The colonies will, we fear, be car ried away from us by insurrection before a tenth part of ' their sable population are baptized into the true faith. Before our Church governors will have settled the differ ewe between the conscience of the negro and his creed, the sugar-market will have dosed upon us—the work of destruction will, in aii likelihood, have done its worst— and the great body of our Wott India merchants will be Irretrievably ruined. Even should the ncgroes, after a lapse of five or six centuries, become true Protestants, this most desirable termination, though it may satisfy the Pre lacy, and may compensate the labours of Mr. 'Wilberforce, opens no very profitable prospect to the planters. But there is so much of evil in slavery after all, that we would counsel the colonial merchants to weigh well, and with all the wisdom that belongs to than, whether the right of the human race to freedom may not be recognised even by themselves, consistently not only with the security but with the advancement of their own property, and the profit of their estates. We would ask—and we ask it in the spirit of impth y, awl fur information—to what danger would they be exposed, were their slaves emancipated, to which they arc not exposed at present, in an equal if not in a much greater degree? There is nothing. we should think, in the act of their emancipation to produce hostility, hut quite the reverse. Their physical mt.( ngth, their power of insurrection, individually or collectively, is not nor cannot be increased by it. But our immediate subject is the Colonial Circular; and on this we shall take the carliisit opportunity of resuming our observations. That enlightened body, the Quarter Amenably of Dub lin—the gang among whom Gifford figured, and by whom that furious bigot is now canonised—met in full conclave at their hall, on Friday, and after taking " refreshment," as the report modestly expresses it ; that is, after gorging and drinking whiskey and water until the Dublin Dtpu ties were two-thirds drunk, a Mr. King rose (the report does not say he was aufficiently sober to stand) and then hiccupped out in bad Irish, and worse English, somethiug about " the Imperial Parliament being about to meet, and " he therefore would move for the appointment of a Corn " mittee, for the purpose of pretesting a petition to the " House, against granting any further ameessions to the " Roman Catholics." (hie Whi!until secouded the ora tor's motion, and it was agreed to by the crew of Orange men unanimously. The Quarter Assembly may just as well keep back their petition; it will go to sleep quietly under the table of the house bere.sifter Woad Barry (now Lord Fatnhana), Sir Thomas Lethbridge, or Mr. Browns low, have mouthed some heavy mutt about it. These are now the parliamentary orators, par excellence, of the Orange party, who take their instructions from Sir Abra ham King and the pious Sir Harcourt Lees. Sustained by such protection, t!.e. Orange hands, we find, are again mus tering strongly in the north. The Derry Journal states, " That within the last few days a number of respectable " individuals, preparatory to their being admitted mem " byre of the Orange body, appeared at the Mayor's office, " and voluntarily took the oaths of allegiance, supremacy, " and abjuration." The Ilerry Paper significantly adds, " This city is greatly infested with thieves, rid:pockets, and shoplyllers.” Are these the respectable parties who appeared to qualify themselves for the immaculate Orange Lodges, sad who try to estabish their mural purity by loyal oaths? It appears plain, however, that the statute against secret secienes has done nothing to secure their suppression. The only difreience is, that the Orangemen affect to tak e certa in oaths in public, but their signs and pass-words are all se cret. Secresy was always the guard of their association. The eighth of the secret articles of the Orangemen in Isola was, " Au I bangtnian is to keep a brother's secrets as " his own, unless ill cases of murder, treason, and per " jury." The constitution of theme Associations is still the mane. 'the members of this bigoted and sanguinary hotly, though they go through the mockery of certain oaths of allegiance and euremacy before a Magistrate, hive still their dangerous secret obligations among theinselst.s. The oath Of the Orangeman is to the follow ing clr, et :—" Ile swears in the present' of Almighty God, " that he will always 0 rem! and never will reveal, either " part or parts of what is now privately communicated to " him, units.: to a Brother-Orangeman, knowing 1 • to " be so by strict trial and due examination, from the word of " a Brother-Orangeman, or until he shall be authorised " to do so by the proper authority of the Orange " institut• ; that be will not write it, cut, cause, stain, " stamp, or magnets it, or cause it to be dune, lest any " part thereof might be known." The initiated further swore, " That he would lie true Mt faithful tgevvey Dm " ther Orangeman. and would not wrong, Jr mutter him to w god, without giving due notice thereof." Here was Iu prepared oath of the intro 'audits! secrecy ; an association often iu arms, Isrund together by mysterious obligations of this lcarld import. Their tie of allegiance was always : they " swore to support the laws and con " stituthot of the I haired Kingdoms of Great Britain and Inland, and the succession to the Throne in his Majes " '5 illustrious I loase, i I'i, sabot." The spirit, the object, and the forms of the Orange Societies are yet tineha•iguil : that is, all their secret obligations remain the same : their appearaEce its public Wore the Magistrate is only a thin aliseuise to veil their nal put poses ; the former oaths and the firmer pass-wools still prevail in private. The Purticuran (a deeper, deadlier, shade of Orange) still, as hefore. " solemnly and voluntarily swears that he w ill " keep the signs. werds, and tarns el a Purple:lran '• front an Orangeman, as well as from the ignorant, " unless authorised to con 1111 l mieate them by the proper " authorities of the Orau t rc Institution." This d angcnnia Issociatii n is now springing up anew—bearding the go vernment, the terror of the twaevable and wellasposied, and the lone' and curse of Ireland. It was early anathe matize,' by those who knew it best—by the ablest anthnost virtuous t or n Ireland ever saw. Mr. I:rattan, in the year 1796, Olt a debate in the Irish House of t!ommons, described the system '• as a pees cution conceived in the bitterness of " bigotry, carried oh with the most ferocious barbarity, I " a banditti, who, being of the rtiigion of the State, had " committed with the greater audacity and confidence the " most horrid murders, and had proceeded from robbery " and massacre to extermination. Those insurgents," the great patriot added, "call themselves Orangemen, or Pro " tesrant Boys; that is, a banditti of murderers commit- " ting massacre in the name of God, and exercising despotic " power in the name of liberty." This was a vivid but not an overcharged picture of this boll) aml their atrocities. What they were then, they still continue in spirit and pur pose sow. There can be no peace in Ireland while they are suffered to flaunt their banners and processions in noon dry, and then adjourn to midnight to hold their drunken and infuriated omits, amid the thirst of bigotry, and the mysterious seclusion of secrecy and covert oaths. If the Marquis Wellesley wishes his government to be respected and endure, he must crush with a determined tread this broml of aerpents. They have again raised their crested I heads in public, and are brandishing their forked tongues : the peaceable and well-disposed fly from their path. The Beefsteak Club is the haunt of Lon! Manners, of I )'Neil, and the higher Orangemen ; the lower en w assemble in the selected pot-house. When the Insurrection Bill," that new bloody code," as the Attorney-General called it, was de ! bated in the House of Commons, henry (:rattan expressed himself as follows:—" It had bet n said by the mover of I" the Itesolutions, that of the defenders multitude% had been " hanged—multitudes had been put to death in the field— " and, though suppressed, they were not extinguished ; but, " with regard to the outrages of the Orange Boys, he would " make no such boast.. On the contrary, Mey had met I" with impunityi ten& luccesx, and triumph; they had " triumphed over the tar ; they had triumphed over the " Magistrates ; and they had triumphed over the people; " their persecution, rebellion, inquisition, murder, rob- bevy, devastation, and extermination, bail been entirely " victorious." Lord ire'kale) , will not, we arc sure, suffer this dreadful picture to be given of his government : while troops of gcnstrounerie beleaguer the whole south of Ireland, and wretches arc dragged in platoons before a bench of magistrates, under the Curfew Act, merely for 1,, ing absent from their cabins after sun-set, he will not suffi the sanguinary Orangemen to riot uncontrolled. Their toasts at the Beefsteak Club are deep awl personal insults to himself. These, with Christian charity be mu!, forgive; but to extend the same feeling to the ruffian bands who patrol in high day with loaded arms, determined on murder, would be a weakness no statesman could be guilty of, and an eternal stain on the government that suffered it. If the Act of the last Sessicn against these societies is to remain a dead letter, then let the Orange bands triumph, and new murders affright the car. The whole question will be brought before Parliament in the next Session. A failure of some extent is announced in the letters of Saturday from Yarn to have taken place in that market, in consequence of extensive speculations for a fall in the French funds, and also in most of the foreign aecurities current there. The name of the Individual who has failed is, we understand, M. Carvalho ; and as he is known to conduct the operations for a number of persons in London, it is supposed the losses sustained will be sensibly telt on this side of the l'hannel. A loan of Roo,ooBl stock has been contracted for the service of the Greeks by houses in Paris and London, and Messrs. 11. Ilendrik. and Co. are appointed agents. Thy Prospectus, it is expected, will be issued in the course of this day. We understand that a loan for Mexico to the amount of 3,000,0001. in stock, bemiring interest at five per cent., will be brought into the market in a few days. The contractors 11 4m thired arc the house of a.. 13. A. Goldsohmidt and Co., but the price at ' - Ofestock win •bo issued to the sob reribors is Dot . .

A rupture had taken place at the date of these accounts between the Swedish Charge d'AfFaires and the Turkish Ministry, in conse quence of claims made by him for the restitution of scow Swedish ships seized by the order of the Porte in the Bat plume. The Swedish Charge d'Affaires had quitted Con stantinople for Stockholm in disgust, and threatecing re taliation in the name of his Sovereign.

When Sir 'Hennas Hardy arrived in the River Plate, the Covermaent of Buenos Ayres, through a petiole deputed for that purpose, solicited some cull: esion o f co- Mon on his part, with regard to the correspondence which had taken place on that occasion • but he replied, that as the affair had by both parties b een mitt red to the British I Government, he saw no necessity for his interference.
