TUE SUN. SOLER OUTS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1824. GitzseE.--Vv' e understand that a financial operation is now hi great forwardness, under the highly respectable influence of Messrs. Louou- NAN, Sos, and O'BuiEs, which will render the triumph of the Greeks complete. These Gentlemen, we are informed, have undertaken a loan on account of the Greek Government, for one million of stock, at 58 per crnt. ;—and when the great resources of that fine portion of Europe are reflected on, in conjunction with the gratitude which civilized man owes to its former illustrious inhabitants, it is impossible to doubt the success of this most patriotic undertaking.— Indeed, we do not hesitate to express our opi nion that the security of the Greek Government is already superior to that of any of the new South Am erican States. Paris Papers of Saturday were received last night. We subjoin the only article they contain of the least importance, the interest of which, however, is chiefly confined to the creditors of the Spanish Government. It should not escape netice, that. amidst the laboured endeavours to in duce a better opinion of the Spanish financial sys tem, not a hint is given of the only measure which can entitle it to the consideration of foreign coun tries—we mean the recognition of those debts con tracted under the Government of the Cortes, and which have passed through every form which could render a contract binding. FEE. 7.--The following is the preamble of the Royal Decree of the 4th instant, creating a sinking-fund : " On the 13th of October, 181 b, and the sth of August, 1818, I ordered the arrangements which I judged to be suitable, to establish on a solid basis the credit of the state, and give se curity to its creditors. I proposed to accomplish these impor tant ends by assigning to the establishment for public credit considerable funds, tO be administered by the establishmen t itself to which I destined them, that they might not in any case be applied to other purposes. This precaution, which served and had already been successfully employed by my august father, had the inconvenience of rendering the ad ministration of these funds very intricate and expensive, so that the net produce was insufficient to support credit with die promptitude corresponding to my wishes and the wants of my people. " The evil was however known, and I was considering of ap plying the proper remedy, when my measures were suddenly impeded by the unhappy events which deprived me of the exer cise of my sovereignty, and involved in general confusion the fate of all the public establishments. " Reinstated in the enjoyments of the rights of my crown, my attention has been fixed on the deplorable situation of a multitude of capitalists, reduced to distress or to indigence by the total depreciation of the funds in which their fortunes consisted. Convinced of the necessity of correcting a state of things which opposes continual and insurmountable obstacles to the creation and increase of the credit of the State ; con vinced that if to meet the current wants of the Government, it is proper to contract a loan, it is indispensable that there should be an establishment which shall periodically pay the interest, and repay the principal, also, at stated periods ; taught by constant experience to rcnounce the hope of seeing the insti tution called of public credit' suffice toobtain those advantages, and adopting the advice of my Council of Ministers, I have re solved to obtain them by other means. In consequence I have resolved as follows, &c." Among the numerous articles of this decree, we remark the following : " An annual sum of 80 millions of reals shall be assigned to the sinking fund. " It shall be responsible for the payment of the new oblige tio nr, which, under present circumstances the Treasury may contract, to meet the current wants of the Government. " The establishment jailed of public credit' is suppressed." The 2d article, creating a Committee of Liquidation, is con ceived in the following terms : " The functions of this committee consist in verifying and liquidating all the debts of the State, proceeding either from capitals, or the interest of those capitals, or from arrears of pay and pensions, provided that they are founded on titles anterior to the 7th of March, 1820." Art. 5 obliges all the creditors of the State recognized by Art. 2 to present the papers, au:he:at:ad:lg thir in the spato of 90 days. Those claims shall be inscribed in the Great Moic opened for this purpose; but after the expiration of the above-men tioned time, none shall be admitted to withdraw ( adtni3 retirer ) his inscription. The Royal Vales are not included in the above arranr. , ,emcnt. They will not be admitted till the question of their renewal has been resolved. In article 14, the King reserves to himself the right of determining the uniform mode of the titles which are to represent the public debt, when the result of the liquidation shall have shown its extent.

Exchange on London, one month, 25 Xl5; three months, 25 35.--( Cours Authentique. ) 'rite following extract of a Letter from Paris, of the 4th, seems to confirm the intelligence, fur nished to us yesterday by our City Correspond ent, relative to FERDINAND'S alleged Decree re specting- the trade with South America : " It is most confidently affirmed that a Tele graphic Dispatch from Madrid, of the highest importance, has been received by the Govern ment here. It announces that FERDINAND VII., at the solicitation of France, has promulgated a Decree, which renders free, for all nations, the- trade with the Spanish Colonies, upon the principle of perfect reciprocity. " It is further confidently affirmed that the Convention which regulates the continuance of our troops in Spain has been signed,—which, with the treaty respecting the capture of prizes, and the acknowledgment of our claim for 24 millions, terminates all our affairs with Spain. " It is said that M. the Marquess de TALARII, is about to receive the Cordon Bleu." We have seen a letter from Paris, stating, that on Saturday night a Consultation of Physicians was held, which reported the KING to be in a dangerous state, and it was not expected he would survive the month of March. Crry, Twelve .'Clock.---Consols opened this morning at 9114, at.sd soon after lowered to 9111 for the Account, and for Money 914-2 ; but up to this hour they are 911, buyers, for the Ac count. The Nlonev Market is very heavy this morning, owing, it is supposed, to cash being scarce: there is not much business doing. Up to this hou r I do not hear of any Express from Paris, which is now anxiously looked for, to ob tain correct information concerning the Decree Of FERDINAND in regard to South America. A report prevails that the Persians have declared war against the Turks. FOREIGN' MARKET.—The Market is not in so favourable a state as yesterday, and it tippearz that the parties who purchased on the informa tion from Paris have over-bought themselves, as most of the South American Securities have som;ewhat lowered this morning. Spanish Bonds OPened.at 25:, with little doing. lam informed that the Greek Loan is expected to be brought forward shortly, under very favourable auspices. Last night Mr. HUMS opposed the vote of 29,000 seamen and marin es for the service of the year, and moved an amendment that the number he limited to 25,000. The Hon. Member, however, subsequently withdrew his amendment, in conse quence of the powerful appeal made to the House by Mr. Secretary CANNING, on the necessity which exists for our having a strong Naval force in the Mediterranean, the West Indies, and on the coasts of South America. Though the pacific assurances of Foreign Powers, (the Right Honourable Gentleman said), are of the strongest kind, yet from the agitated state of the world and the possible occurrence of events which might call for the exertion of our power, it was proper that the country should be in such an attitude as Would convince foreign Go vernments that she was both able and pre pared to maintain her interests and rights. —The financial Expose of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER IS still anxiously looked for, and the highest expectations are entertained as to the favourable impression which it will make upon the country. We have received Gibraltar Papers to the 28th ult., from which we make the following extracts : (FROM THE CHRONICLE OF 25TIL) " According to Ship Letters from Smyrna, bands of wander ing tribes had begun to show themselves upon the frontiers of Persia, and have even pushed their incursions as far as Aleppo, where they have occasioned great consternation." (FROM THE TAPEII OF 24TH.). " Letters from Illarseilles state, that a Commissary of Police has intimated to all Spaniards who are at that Port, to proceed to Alencon, and most of them have departed, and as fast as others come up they receive the same order. This measure is not confined to soldiers and refugees, but extends to all Spaniards, from whatever point they come. " A letter from Zante, of the 2d tilt., states that the Alger ine squadron, which was cruising off Missolonghi, had just been destroyed by a nasal division from llydra, that had con veyed Alexander Mavrocordato to Etolia.' Dispatches from the Duke Of MANCHESTER, Governor of Jamaica, dated the 12th ult. arrived yesterday. At that date, we are happy to find, the island was in a state of perfect tranquillity, the Negroes having returned to their ordinary occupations. The SPEAKER'S Parliamentary Levees for the present Session will commence on Saturday next, the 21!t inst. THE KING. WINDSOR, FEB. I6.—This afternoon, at two o'clock, his MAJFATY, attended by the Marquis Conyngham, took a drive in his pony chaise to the Lodge in the Great Park, to inspect the alterations which have been made during his Majesty's ab sence. He returns to the Palace to din. The King- had a party at dinner yesterday at the Palace. Amongst the company were— The Duke of York, Princess Augusta, Duke of Wellington, Duke of Dorset, Lord Stewart, Lord and Lady Naryborough, and several other distinguished characters. The Duke of York left- the Palace after dinner for London ; the Duke of Welling ton this morning at half-past ten. The Band of the Royal Horse Guards attended after dinner, and played sacred music during the evening. Yesterday her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta attended Divine Service at the Parish Church. The Band of the Royal Horse Guards was stationed on the Terrace yesterday afternoon, and the company attracted by the fineness of the day, was both numerous and elegant. We no ticed several of his Majesty's suite, and many of the Nobility and Gentry of the neigbourhood. Yesterday his Majesty and his attendants in waiting heard Divine Service in the Ring's private . Chapel in the Royal Castle. The Service was perform ed by the Rev. Mr. Sumner.

ARGYLL Rooass.—A Masquerade took place at these rooms last night, and attracted a nume rous company. This specks of entertainment is by no means suited to the English so well as the Italians, as there is a lightness in their character which better corresponds with its nature, and by whom, indeed, it is indebted for its origin. There was a due proportion of Shepherdesses, Sailors, Jews, Turks, Irish, Dominos, &c. &c. One mask presented himself as the father of LANGAN, the Pugilist, who excited much bustle and fun in hunting for his son. A band of Robin Hood's men were busy in chacing fair damsels, in which they were apparently more successful than they would have been in pursuit of other Deer. If there was not much wit, on the whole there was much good-humour, and CHARLES WRIGHT'S wines must have been generally relish ed, for it appeared that a great quantity was con sumed. They seemed, however, to excite hila rity, without any mischievous tendency. The sup per was so good and so abundant as to be very creditable to the provider from the moderation of the charge. The number of Rooms that were opened for the occasion afforded full scope for the humour of the visitors, and presented a per petual variety by the change and mixture of characters. In this respect these Rooms are more convenient than any other place that has been opened for a similar purpose since the memo rable days of Mrs. CORNELT in Soho Square. Quadrilles and Waltzes, and bacchaualian enjoy ments, seemed likely, when we left the place, to occupy the company till a very late hour, without portending any thing likely to disturb the general festivity. Madame CkTALANI arrived in town yesterday in very good health. By the decision of a law case in the Court of King's Bench, a poor widow at Sunderland has come into possession, it is said, of not less than 10,0001. ! We are enabled to state, upon authority, that at the ensuing Audits at Alnwick (next month), his Grace the Duke of NOILT U MBE ILLAN D' will remit to his numerous te. nantry 20 per cent. of the rents. This generous treatment, now that agriculture has been so revivified, tends to place in a very conspicuous point of view that nobleness of character which has ever been found identified with the Princely house of PERCY. T lIE Tli ZATIZ E. COVENT-GARDEN.-Miss F. K. EIJ.Y resumed her sr: tion last night in tIP9 part of dreiliet,iri hicil she first appeared, and which was•cer tainly her most successful performance. She was received with great warmth, on hz:r entrance, and obtained considerable applause: during the whole of her exertions. Mr. C. K ENIBLE gave so fine an assumption of Romeo, as %,vould doubtless have satisfied even' the im mortal author of the admirable and interesting Drama. COURT OF KING'S PENCIL-C DA*.) BYRNE v. PARKINi.-'Phis was an action for defamation of character.—Mr. PHI - LT.ll'i, for the defendant, rose and said, he had a proposal to make to the Learned Counsel on the other side, which was, that if the defendant paid the costs of the action, and acknowledged in open Court -he: had accused his client wrongfully, it would pu. an end to a subject of the most unpleasant nature. The Counsel for the defendant then consulted for a few minutes with their client, when Mc. Ex-Sheriff rose and said, that under all the Cjr-' cumstances of the case he acceeded to the pro posal, but at the same time intimated his inten tion of moving for a new. trial in the action of the preceding day. His Lordship said, that was art..' other business.—The Jury then returned a ver dict of 403. dama,,ges. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—(Tmis DAy.) THE LONDON DOCK COMPANY V. wir.r.Luds. The defendant in this case stood indicted at the instance of the London Dock Company, fur assaulting, on the 9,4 th of December, one of their• Officers, named Morgan, in the execution of his duty. The prosecutor was placed at one of the dates of ti►e private road through which, az times, persons got in and out , iithout a pass. On the day in question the defend ant was sent by his master to the iliarqui;; of Iluntly, t!►en in the Dock, an► 3 !►is nearest way lay through the said road. On coming to the gate the prosecutor demanded his pass, but received for answer, that he had not one, and insisted on going throt!gh. This. was resisted, and, as alleged, the assault was then committed. A great many witnesses were► called on both► sides, whose testimony differed totally, and the Jury found him Not Guatg.
