I 0 5 ,}; FRENCH FUNDS, 79f. I.sc.—Spanish; Ve extract the following from the German Papers received this morning : " ODESSA, MARCH 6.—A ship has just arrived here which left Constantinople on the 28th Feb. She brings accounts that the Porte had acceded to the proposals made by Lord Strangford. " CONSTANTINOPLE, FED. 25.—Lord Strang ford has had his audience of the Sultan and the Divan, for the payment of the troops has passed over without disturbance. Some days after the great Divan was held, when the Ulemas and Chiefs of the Janissaries were pre sent, and the proposals of his Lordship were taken into consideration. At this extraor dinary assembly, it is said that the Sul tan was placed s.o as to hear the proceed ings without being seen. It was resolved to take a step towards an agreement xsith Russia, the Reis Effendi having declared to Lord Strang ford that the Turkish Ministers were ready to renew the relations with Russia. A formal communication has not yet been made. So soon as this is done, expresses will be sent off to London and Vienna. Private letters say, that an extraordinary Courier from Constan tinople, arrived at Vienna on the 18th, and pro bably brought this com►nunication. Expresses were immediately dispatched to London and St. retersburgh. " The Porte seems to have been led to this concession by the events in the Peloponnesus, and is now seriously thinking of striking some de cisive blow against the Greeks. The armaments making here with this view are extremely great, ani have already led to some excesses on the shores of the Channel. The Austrian Observer contains no news from Constantinople. It gives the Convention between the Emperors of Russia and Austria and the King of Prussia o'n the one part, and the King of Sardinia on the other, for withdrawing the Austrian troops from the Sar dini4 territory." - [FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] STOCK EXCHANGE, 114 f-past Moire &Clock.— Consols opened this morning at 74 4, at whirl they are steady, with little doing. FOREIGN MARKET.—Spanish Bonds expe rienced a rise this morning in consequence of the speech of M. DE VILLELE being thought to augur favourably for Spin.—These Bonds left off yes terday at 28 I, but opened to-day at 29, and Went up to 294 ?, Letters from Havanna') represent the state o f Society at that place, as dangerous in the extreme for strangers, and Americans in particular. One dated the 6th ult. with 'an extract from which we have been favoured, says—" I shall get away from this as soon as possible, for a residence here is really dangerous to strangers-6 or 7 men have been murdered within the last *eek ; some of them in the most shocking manner, being seized, stripped, and then laid on a cot and com pletely cut to pieces, from head to foot. It is trot considered safe to be out after sunset.—The boat of the United States' brig Spark was stoned at the public landing a few days since, and there is no doubt that they would all have been mur dered, had the Officer persisted in landiitg.---O n being informed of the circumstance, Capt. Wil kinson wrote to the General of Marine, to know if be must arm his boat's crew, or whether the Authorities, here would 'protect him. The an swer, I am told, was a very polite one ; stating, in substance, that he and his crew would be pro. tected, and expressing regret at the outrage which had been committed." FALSE DICE. ---The recent det ec ti on o f f alse dic e reminds us of a circumstance which hap- Pened Many years ago at a famous gambling. house, in the chief region of gambling, the Parish of St. James.---A Nobleman, when he had lost considerable sum, s us p ec ti ng some fraud, declined playing a n y l onger , too k t h e dice, and P lac ed them in his pocket. The gang were all t a nd l arm, feari ng t h at the detection would put an to thei r d epredations.

These papers contain no news of any importance from the armies. COLOMBIA. Extract of a letter froth Capt. MATTHEWS, Commander of the National Colombian brig Patriota, of 18 guns (formerly the Musquito of the British Navy), to a House in the City : " I am sure it will give you pleasure to hear of my being promoted to the command of the Patriota, of 18 guns. Our crew consists of 126 men, 80 of which are English seamen, and as prime as can be picked, being generally from 28 to 36 years of age, and of such a sort as will command success in any fair and equal combat. Our marines are half English and ' half native Colombians.—One Captain and one Lieutenant, both the latter were formerly in the English service, as Lieu tenants of Marines.' " Soon after our arrival here from Europe, we sailed with the fleet, under Commodore Daniels, and returned after a cruize of three weeks, bringing with us amongst other prizes a Spanish ship of war, 'mounting twenty-four guns, and having a complement of 265 men. We found 30,000 dollars on board. The Spaniards only fired four guns ; we did not lose a single man killed or wounded. They had two killed and four wounded. I hope my share of prize money this short cruize will amount to 500/., 2201. I have already re ceived. The articles shipped by you are nearly all disposed of, but the prices are rather lower than we were led to expect, as every thing is in great abundance from America. The Ame ricans having acknowledged the Independence of Colombia (which will soon be as rich and powerful as the United States), the English arc losing the trade fast, and nothing but the recog. nition of our, independence by Britain will give the English merchants an equal chance. " La Guyra produces abundance of indigo, cocoa, and coffee, besides all that can be required for the comforts and elegancies of life.. I like th'e people much, and the Government 'sup plies us with every thing of the best, in a manner at once li beral and regular. I find La Guyra a very healthy place—the prevailing cause of disiolution being old age, which will reach you as well on the banks of the Thames, and from which even our own delightful native town* can claim no exemption. It will be well fur you to advise your friend not to send either of his vessels to this place on spec. There are already a great' number of very fine ones here which are not wanted, Aor can any sale he effected, or a commission for them now be pro. cured. This Government will not again license privateers, all in future must be Government ships, the discipline the same as on board English men of war. " You will not fail to remember me to all your friends I have had the pleasure of meeting, .and to write on the receipt of my letter to my family at I'enzance ; inform them that I. was never better in health, and I hope yet to have the pleasure of visiting an English port under the national and never-yielding flag of proud Colombia." * Penzance, Cornwall. CITY, W EDNESDAY EVENING. On the Foreign Stock Exchange very little business was this day done, and the variations in value were chiefly confined to the Bonds of Colombia and Spain. The former advanced about 1 per cent. whilst in the latter there was a trifling decline occasioned by a rumour that the Contractors in London for the last Loan had answered to an inquiry, " That they would give no official pledge fbr the payment of the dividend due on the Ist of May." The French Rentes have rather been pressed on the market, though no material decline can be noted in them.-- Louis the Fat has not yet been anointed by the Pope, as the con science of his Holiness will not allow him to celebrate this august ceremony towards this Bourbon, because he has already given holy benediction to the family of Buonaparte. There exists, therefore, an uncertainty in the minds of the hohlors of French Securities, to which of these frailties the divine right of ruling France belongs ; and there are not a few who fancy that power will finally decide this disputed point. A vessel has arrived off Dover, which brings numerous letters from Oporto, dated on the 14th and lith of March. One of the latter communicates a report that the Count D'Amarante had defeated the General Rego, and that the Conqueror was on hi; march in consequence. to Oporto. To the contents of this letter no credit is given, because the news, if true, was too important not to have been mentioned in other 1 Iters of the same date, because it is known that on the lath of Arch, D'Amarante had offered to give himself up to General ltego on condition that his life should be spared, and which offer was refused, and because intelligence front Lisbon of the 13th March, announces that Chaves, the only strong hold in possession of the Rebels, had been 'taken by the Constitu tional Army. The Mail now due may be hourly expected, and by it the real state of affairs in Portugal will be communi cated.— ( Morning Chronicle.) BROOK GREEN FAIR. The resolution come to by the Magistrotes who assembled at llamersmith, after having heard the case of the inhabitants, &c. to put down Brook Green Fair, pur suant to the power vested in them by the new Police Act, ex. cited, as might be expected, no ordinary degree of sensation in those itinerants, &c. who were likely to suffer by the sup pression of what was represented to have been a dangerous nut. sance. Every persuasive art having been exhausted, threats were resorted to ; and many went so far as to declare, that " if they had not a fair, they would have a good fire," mean. ink, that some of the residences at Brook Green should suffer. Those threats, however, had the contrary eftl.ct of what was desired; for the inhabitants, &c. &c. who were anxious to put an end to such desperate scenes as have taken place at West End and Stepney, were still desirous that the complainants should have every opportunity of their case being heard. The Magistrates who assembled at the Palace- Tavern, Kensington, on Tuesday, on district business, recon sidered the case ; but after tke amplest consideration, they de cided against the continuance of Brook Green Pair.--.A resident, and one who had let portions of ground, expressed his willing ness to guarantee the inhabitants against injuries ; but such proffer was not considered as affecting the principle on which the decision was pronounced. Ala. GRATTAN.—An attack having been lately made upon the character of the late Right Hon. HENRY GRATTAN, in the Dublin Evening Mail, his son, Mr. HENRY GRATTAN, briefly answered it in the Dublin 'Freeman's Journal, in which he charged the Author' and Editor with having " deliberately published a wicked and scanda lous falsehood." To this answer a reply has been published in the Dublin Evening Mail, threaten ing personal violence. IMPIZOVEMLNT9 AT ST. PAUL'S CATUEDRAL.— The marble statue of QUEEN ANN, which stands in the area of the west front, and which for a length of time was suffered to remain in the most wretched state, having the nose, one arm, and the fingers of the remaining hand broken off, is now enclosing, for the purpose of being re paired and beautified.

It has often been a subject of surprise, th a t a S oc i e t y f or t h e advancement of Oriental Literary Knowledge, upon the prin. ciple of that which has existed so long, and with such distin guished success, in Bengal, should not have been established in London, by the numerous and respectable persons who have re turned from India. It were impossible to conceive a more con. genial and satisfactory employment of their leisure, than in fostering and promoting those interest s , to the support of which the early part of their live s h a d been dedicated. In the beginning of the present year it was resolved to form a Society for this purpose; and on the 11ith of last month, as we learn from the authorised Report of the proceedings, the first General Aleeting of the Asiatic Society of (heat Britain and rreland, took place at the Thatched House Tavern.

Before the ballot commenced, the Chairman desired leave to address the meeting. He delivered a discourse, in which he developed the views of the Society, and the purposes for which it was instituted. This discourse having been received with marked approbation by the meeting, it was moved that it should be printed ; and likewise, that the thanks of the meeting should be given to the Chairman ; which .propositions, being respec. thely seconded, were adopted unanimously by the meeting. Tile Chairman proceeded to announce to the meeting, that His Majesty ' King George the F ourt h , had been graciously pleased to declare himself Patron of the Asiatic Society ; Further, that the Most Noble the Marquis of Wellesley and the Most Noble the Marquis of Hastings were nominated Vice. Patrons ; And lastly, that the President of the Board of Commissioners for the Affairs of India for the time being would always be a Vice-Patron. The following Resolutions were next proposed by the Chair man, and approved by the meeting : I. That the Society b e ca ll e d The Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland. which, when 11.

That the Council be authorised to take such steps as may be requisite, to obtain a Charter of Incorporation, as early as they find it expedient and practicable. VI. That the next General Meeting be held on Saturday, the 19th of April, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The Chairman congratulated the Meeting ori the promising aspect which the Society bore, stating, that the number of Mem bers already entered on its list e x cee ded Thre e H undred. The Chairman having concluded, the ballot opened, and was carried on till four o'clock, us had been previously fixed, when, being closed, th e li sts were examined by the Scru tineers.

All around thee strew, - When, as thou go'st, the grassy floor Is with a million flowers depeint, Whose colours quaint Have diaper'd the meadows o'er. April, at whose glad coming Zephyrs rise With whispered sighs, Then on their light wing brush away, And hang amid the woodlands fresh Their aery mesh To tangle Flora on her,way. April, it i thy hand that doth unlock, From plain and rock, Odours and hues, a balmy store, That breathing lie on Nature's breast, So richly blest, That earth or heaven eau ask no more. April, thy blooms, amid the tresses laid Of my sweet maid, Adown her neck and bosom flow; And in a wild profusion there, lier shining hair With them bath blent a golden glow. April, the dimpled smiles, the playful grace, That in the face ' • Of Cytherea haunt, are thine; And thine the breath, that from the skies The deities Inhale, an offering at thy shrine. 'Tis thou that dost with summons blythe and soft, nigh up aloft, From banishment these heralds bring, These swallows, that along the air Scud swift, and bear Glad tidings of the merry spring. April, the hawthorn and the eglantine, Purple woodbine, Streaked pink, and lily-cup, and rose, And thyme, and marjoram, are spreading, Where thou art treading, And their sweet eyes for thee unclose. The little nightingale it singing aye On leafy snray, And in her fitful strain loth run A thousand and a thousand changes, With voice that ranges Through every sweet division, April, it is when thou dolt come again, That love is fain With gentlest breath the fires to wake, That cover'd up an d slumbering lay, Through many a day, When winter's chill our veins did slake. Sweet month, thou seest at this jocund prime Of the spring time, The hives pour out their lusty young, And hear'st the yellow bees that ply, With laden thigh, Murmuring the flowery wilds among. May shall with pomp him wavy wealth unfold, His fruits of gold, Ilia fertilizing dews, that swell In manna on each spike and stem, And like a gem, Red honey in the waxen cell. Who will may praise Him, but my voice shall be, Sweet month, for thee ; Thou that to her dolt owe thy name, Who snw the sea•wave's foamy tide Swell and divide, Whence forth to life and light she came.

EA STER MONDAY. On Easter Monday the Grand Annual Hunt took place, which was attended by the greatest field of sportsmen of all ranks that has been thi s season , at Farnham Common. Soon after ten o'clock a fine (leer was turned out of the cart, which set off with great swiftness across the country to the right of Amersham. In the cour se o f t h e c h ace t h e hounds got scent of a fox, which they followed for some time, and by so doing the deer got a great way ahead, and they were obliged to take the hounds back. They then renewed the chace through the incid sures and fields by the Earl of Bridgewater's and Memel Ilenip stead. This deer was taken in Oodsdon, in Hertfordshire, a few miles to the left of St. Alban's, after a run of upwards of four hours, about 36 miles from Windsor. 'Many of the sp orts . men gave up the chime: some went 20 miles, some 30 mil es . Many horses were obliged to give up th e chas e ; some lo s t t h e i r shoes, others tumbled down and broke their knees. The huntsmen and attendants and hounds returned on Tuesday morning; they could not return on Monday night being such a distance from home._yesterday they turned out a fine deer near Swinly, and to-morrow for the last time this season, they turn out at Bellfont, near Hounslow Heath.

ACCIDENTS FROM SERVANTS CLEANING lirt7i nows.--Another shocking accident has happened at Hereford, by a servant girl falling from a window in cleaning 'it. Perhaps it is not gene rally known that patent hinges are now used to turn sash windows to the inside, which will su persede the dangerous practice of climbing out side for cleaning, painting, and glazing windows. These hinges may be had of any carpenter in town or country. About one o'clock in the morning of Wednes day the 26th nit, the house. of Mrs. JAMES, who keeps a small shop at Barking Tye, was at tacked by a gang of men, armed with bludgeons: one man entered the bed-room in which she, with her mother, aged 84 years, and a young woman, her niece, slept, by breaking the glass anti frame of the window ; another man mounted the ladder, to support' his companion ; a third remained below. The man in the room demanded her money and keys, and taking her pockets, desired to know how touch money was in them ; and on being told about 41., swore that if she did not get more instantly, he would kill her ; but on the cry of " Murder!" from the niece, he threw the pockets out of the window, and the three departed. On first seeing the man at the window. Mrs. James jumped out of bed, and went down stairs for a sword that she had in the house, expecting to attack the man before he should have entered the room ; not finding the sword, she took up a hook, which he, who was in the bed room, on her return, knockrd out of her hand, and gave her a very violent blow on the right arm, and another on the face.— (Bary Gazette.) Yesterday th e L an d lady of the' Brown Bear public-hous e , at St. Alban's, who came to town to pay her distiller 1.50/. for liquors, in going along Newgate-street, had her pocket cut by some villain, who is supposed to be aware of the property she had, and was robbed of all het :no:ley. On Saturday night, about nine o'clock, two thieves attempted to cut a lead pipe fro,n a house at the foot of Leith Walk, and one of them climbed up for the purpose of wrenching out the hold fasts; while thus engaged, one of the hold fasts gave way, when he 'and the pipe fell to the ground, a height of two or tliree stories. The Fellow was so severely bruised and stunned by '‘e fall that he could not move from the spot, was found lying there by some persons who !ard the fall. Ile was conveyed to the -Royal afirmary.—(Edinburgh Courant.) DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY ON A FEMALE.-- “dast night, about eight o'clock, a female.servant al' a family residing in Cross-street, Islington, was returning from Stepney Fair to Islington, she was accosted by two ruffians, who addressed her, and said, as they were going her way (from Hoxton,) if she had no objection, they would accompany her towards her home, When thepoor girl entertaining no harm of their proposals (the villains being dressed in a respectable manner) consented, and they continued walking tend cow; versing together until they came to a lonely part of the Shepherd and Shepherdess-fields, when 'they suddentfy tripped up her feet, and plundered her of all she had in her pockets, consisting of seven shillings and a few things -- she had brought with her from the, fair. Not content with this ill usage,, they proceeded to peisonal violence, when her cries brought some neighbours to her assist. ance, hut unfortunately not until they had got clear off. The young woman says she can iden tify their persons from a thousand, and it is there fore to be hoped, for she ends of justice, that they may be apprehended, and brought to answer for their inhuman conduct. About eleven o'clock on. ‘Vendesday evening, the watchman. in Bell's Wynd being alarmed by cries proceeding from a public house, near the middle of that lane, immediately procured assist ance, and went into the house, where five desperate charactirs were found. On searching the house, a watch was found inn barrel among herrings, and a chain and seals in another part of the house. The officers of police then prepared to take the wholeinto custody, when a fellow of the name of ]'Callum took up a table knife, and, with the most dreadful imprecations„ made a thru4 at one of the watchmen---the diabolical attempt was only frustrated by an officer break ing the knife by a stroke of his baton. The whole party was secured, and brought to the watch-house.
