In fact, in the most advantageous loans, it never received above 88 france, and in others it was forced to accept 50 francs only, for 100 inscribed. " it may be objected that the Government could suppress at suspend the Sinking Fund, erase from the, Grand Livre the thirty-three millions of Ranks which have been already redeemed, subtract from the budget the forty millions assign ed to that fund, and there will be at once a reduction of seventy-thne millions in the burdens of the State. Such a notion is more specious than solid. First, most of the loans Ware contracted under laws which enact the annual redemp tion the lenders reckoned on this, and a change of system would be deceiving them. Secondly, the daily purchasers, br the Sinking-fund, afford a market for those funiholders who are desirous of selling, and without this the market might be at times exposed to a 'sudden and dangerous de preciation." The article then proceeds to infer that the sink ing fund mtfst not be touched ; that it is the corner-stone of public credit; on which the edifice of the financial pros perity of the kingdom reposes. To the objection that the pro- Posed measure is not legal, a simple line of the civil code com pletely refutes it.—Article 1911 says, " La rink constituie en Perpetuel estentiellement rachetabk." One of the numbers of the Greek newspaper recently established, entitled The Grecian Chro wide, contains a retrospect of the campaign of 182 3, which it represents as having been much "'are advantageous for the Greeks, though less brilliant in appearance, than that of 1822. On Sea and land, the Greeks have every where main tained the superiority which they had acquired in the preceding year. In 18e2, the Turks had traversed the Isthmus of Corinth, and had advanced into the plains of Argos. In 1823 , however, they have been unable to gain even the coasts of the Gulf of Lepanto. S ome isolated Greek detachments, advanta geously posted in Beotia, were sufficient to annoy, and even to hold in check, the Turkish army under the command of Jussour PREVOCHECMA PACIA 7 and which, on the subsequent advance of ODYSSEUS, with troops not more than one-fourth of the numbers of the enemy, was defeated, and driven for refuge to the Isle of Negro pont. All the attempts of the Turks to the northward of that island were equally disastrous ; .and in their last attempt upon Attica, the Greeks gave the final blow to the Mussulman army. An other. Turkish army, much more considerable, and composed of the best troops in the Ottoman Em pire, marched against the western provinces, with the view of capturing Missolunghi, the most im portant of the positions held by the G reeks.— This fine force, however, was constantly tra versed in its march, and counteracted in its de '6igns, and, although commanded by the Pacha of ScomtA, by far the most able and enter- Prising of the Generals employed by the Porte in this war, has in the end been nearly totally destroyed by a Greek corps not amount ing to more than one-fifth of the numbers of the enemy. The most fortunate result for 'the Greeks ensued upon the advantages gained by them in this quarter ; for the Albanians, their must dangerous enemies, have been completely dispirited by a succession of disasters ; and b eing besides distracted by internal dissensions, 4 2 14 by the numbers who are disaffected to the Porte, and who have openly declared their dis content, they have been rendered quite incapable of giving hereafter any essential support to the Ot toman Power. The Greek Editor, after pointing out L. . these consequences of the operations by land, t hen proceeds to spew that the efforts of his countrymen on sea have been productive of still more solid and decisive advantages ; and af ter recapitulating the losses which the Turkish fleets have sustained by battle by the plague, and by deserti ons , an d alluding to the increasing financial em b arrassments of t he Porte, he con tends th a t th e T ur k s are-not in a condition to undertake a fourth naval campaign, with any Pl'ospect whatever of being able to keep the sea. TIC, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this I llomin t' at SMP i I to 951 7 got up to 954, went l 'ack again to 951 for the Account, and for Money cj3 to 95u ; fO r next time (May) 951. In the e arlier part of the morning there was some busi- It eu doing. FOREIGN MARKET.—The most business doing IQ the above Market is in the Alliance Shares, ,otich opened at 16, got up to 17k, and are We have this morning received New York Papers to the 2d March. tFrom the New York Gazette of the lat.] nuns HAvANNair.---We have received by the sloop James Monroe Havannah Papers to the 16th "It. The Captain of a vessel from Porto Rico informs that the Commandant of that place re ceived information on the 2d that Santa Fe di Bogota had declared in favour of Ferdinand VII. Late advices from Mexico state that the English Commissioners had left that place. The British frigate Thetis arrived at Havannah on the 13th fr;m Vera Cruz, and brought infor mation that many families had returned to their homes, since the firing between the Castle and City had ceased. FROM Sr. DOMINGO.--We learn by the Curler., that news had reached Aux Cayes that a formi dable fleet was fitting out at Brest ; and it being believed that an attempt would be made upon that Island, every man able to bear arms was compelled to perform military duty. Mr. SCARLETT.—We have now the pleasure of stating, that intelligence was received this morning at the house of Mr. SCA ItLETT, importing that " he is poorly, but out of danger ;" and a letter to Sir ASTLEY COOPER, also received this day, communicates the very same satisfactory information. We have received Bayonne Papers to the 21st instant, liamburgh Papers to the 24th, and Brus sels to the 28th. The first contain nothing of importance, except a report that all the Foreign Ambassadors had had a meeting at Madrid, " to give at length a solid Government to Spain," and that the questio❑ of Chambers and of a Charter had been brought forward, and discussed. Now, as it is not in the power of the Foreign Ambas sadors " to give a Government to Spain," the re port of such a meeting having been holden Riust be unfounded, or what was merely matter of re commendation has been turned into an attempt to dictate. The Ilamburgh Papers only announce that Mr. de TATlscnErr, the Russian Senator and Negociator, had left St. Petershurgh for Vienna, and that the great commercial house of LUNDHOLM and Co., at Stockholm, had failed for the sum of 400,000 rix dollars bane°. The Brus sels Journals contain intelligence from Semlin, according to which it appears that a large Turkish army was assembling at Schumla. This is said to have caused much anxiety and alarm, as Schumla was the place where the Grand Vizier's army was assembled during the last war with Russia. INDlA.—There are letters from Madras, via Bombay, of the 31st of October last, by which it appears, that they have had very heavy falls of rain, which removes all dread of a famine, that had been apprehended. It was understood that General the Hon. Sir Enwean PAGET, not having his health in India, was about to return to Eng land from Calcutta. A considerable degree of anxiety prev a il e d i n th e A rm y, that no distribu tion had yet taken place of the booty captured in the late Mahratta war. That great numbers of the troops were dead, and it had been naturally expected, that if a total distribution of the booty could not be speedily made, some portion of it would have b een a d vance d to the troops, consi dering the number of years which had elapsed since the war. It also appears that the interest of money had fallen to 4 per Cent., and that the Exchange on England was enormous, On Saturday Prince LEOPOLD came to town from Claremont. His Royal Highness dined with the Duchess of KENT, at the King's Palace, Kensington, and afterwards accompanied his ltoyal Sister to the Italian Opera.—Yesterday Prince LEOPOLD attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal.---The Duchess of KENT attended Divine Service yesterday at the Royal German Chapel, and heard a sermo❑ by the Rev. Dr. KUPER. On Saturday morning early, Lieut.-Colonel PERCY DAVISON, Aide-de-Camp to the Marquis of HASTINGS, left town with dispatches for the Noble Marquis at Naples, at which place he was expected to arrive from Rome the beginning of the present month. Saturday afternoon, at three o'clock, the Lords of his MAJESTY'S Most Honourable Privy Coun cil assembled at the Council Hall, Whitehall, upon the subject of Jersey Appeals. Their Lordships sat till half-past four o'clock. We are enabled to state, that no Law Ar rangement& consequent upon the death of Sir T. PLUMER, have yet taken place.— (Morning Paper.) The statement in a Morning Paper of Mr. LUSHINGTON, of the Treasury, having accepted the office of Governor of Bombay, is without foundation. Sir S. RAFFLES, GovernOr of Bencoolen, is or his voyage home to this country, on account of ill hcalth. The RECORDER, who has been very unwell we are happy to hear, was on Saturday suffi ciently recovered to come down into his drawing room. A Letter from the Ems, states—" Every ex. ertion is making towards rendering the Upper Ems navigable this year. Great difficulty, however, is experienced in effectuat ing the deepening of the waters. It would seem that the ex cavation of a canal - as far down as Halte would be the best way of obviating the inconvenience. At the same time there can only be one opinion as to the great utility of the whole scheme, in regard to its beneficial effect upon commerce and navigation. By the measure in progress the hms will be made to join the Lippe, and thus at once form a junction with the noble Rhine." A Letter, dated Minden, the Bth inst., says, that while digging on the shores of the river Weser, a short while ago, the projecting tooth of an elephant, or mammoth, was found, eight feet in length. Several other pieces of bone were found, the whole of which had been carefully preserved by Mr. Hayer, Pro-Rector, and an accurate description of them sent to the Editor of the weekly Journal. Such relics are extremely valuable to those who like an interest in Natural History. It is announced in a communication from Rome, dated the 25th ult., that on the approaching Ascension day, the Holy Father will cause Proclamation to be made of the " Holy 1 ear ;" and on Christmas Eve the great door of the Vatican Basilika will be opened. Consequently, during the whole of the ensuing year (1825), no public spectacles of any sort will be permitted to take place in any part of the Papal dominions. When the period arrives, it will have been 50 years since the last " Holy Year," viz. the year A.D. 1755, which was proclaimed under the pontificate of Pope Pius the Sixth. The annual Expose of French Artists will not take place at Paris this year, on the 24th of the ensuing month (April), as has been customary; but, according to a late pub lic advertisement, on the 25th of August next. In the last days of February, Jerome Buona parte (Ex-King of Westphalia), gave a magnificent entertain ment, at his hotel in Rome, in honour of the natal day of his spouse. Covers were laid for 80. The dinner was served up on gold plate ; and not less than 12,000 francs (nearly 5001. sterling) were expended in furnishing the delicacies for the table. The application in favour of Mr. CONNOLLY, it is said ) has not been attended with success. THE KING. WI - Nilson, MARCH 28.—Yesterday afternoon, at a quarter after two o'clock, his MuEsTY drove to the Lodge in his pony phaeton, attended by the Marquis Conyngbam, and returned about five o'clock to the Palace, where his Majesty had a select Dinner Party. Among the Company were— The Earl and Countess Bathurst, Lady G. Bathurst, Earl of Bristol, Lord Hervey, Lady A. Hervey, Lord Ancrain, the Duke of Dorset, Lord and Lady 3laryborough, &c. His Majesty will have a select party to dinner to-day. Among . the company expected are— Ifer Royal Highness the Princess Augusta, the Duke of Wellington, Mr. Secretary Canning, and the Earl of Lau derdale. _ This morning the King, with his usual attendants, heard Divine Service at his private Chapel, in the Castle. The Ser vice was performed by the Rev. Mr. Sumner. Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta had Divine Ser vice performed this morning at Frogmore. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

PARIS, MARCH 25.—Last night the English Ambassador gave a most splendid fancy dress ball. Th er e were upwards of 3,000 persons present, includin g the Foreign Ambassadors, the French Ministers, and the elite of the French and English so ciety at Paris. There were, seen assembled in the same Hotel all the nations of the earth, persons of all religions and of all shades of political feeling. trahmins, Chinese, Pagans, Jews, Musselmans and Christians, Roy a li sts a nd Republicans, all f o rgot their dogmas and their syst ems , or ra th er a ll offered them as a holocaust at the shrines of harmony and pleasure. Even Sir Sidney Smith, President of the Knights Liberators of the Christian Slaves in Africa, cordially shook hands with an Al coloured billet, issued in the name of Lady Elizabeth Stuart ! gTeorildieesepriirbacte—thseuvcahriewdas magnificence magic influence of a little rose coloured of the dresses would be impossible, and to select a few would appear invidious to others. The supper and wines comprised all that hospitality on the grandest scale and the most exquisite taste could de vise. The dancing continued till Aurora peeped from behind the dome of the Invalids, and bade the gay throng depart. ROYAL ACADEMY O MUSIC.—The Arc. bishop of Yons and the Earl of DARNLEY, Vice-Presidents of the Royal Academy of Music, visited the Institution on Saturday. Several of the Pieces which will he performed on Saturday next, in the presence of the Subscribers, were re hearsed, and-gave the greatest satisfaction. Some of the friends of the Institution were present, amongst whom we ob served—the Duchess of Atholl, Emily Marchioness of London. derry, and Lady Emma Edgeconie, the Marchioness of. West meath, and the Misses Fitzclarence, Lady Katharine Stewart, Countess St. Antonio, Mrs. Malcolm, Lady Murray, Lord Valletort, Lord Glenlyon, General Bligh, Count St. Antonio, Sir George Warrender, &c. The instrumental music was truly surprising, and we venture to predict the most complete success to Madame Reguaudin when) her young pupils shall have ac. quired that confidence in their powers which, exsept for the natural diffidence of their age and sex, they would assuredly now possess. KING'S THEATRE.- - The Opera of Riceiardo • Zoraide was to have been the Opera on Satur day night, but the illness of GALICIA and Ma: dame VESTRIS occasioned the substitution of Il Fanatico per la Maier:. CATALANI was in fine voice, and supported her character with great Spirit. CARADORI also was too much indisposed to give her songs, but she went through the recitative with laudable perseverance. To compensate for this loss, KIESEWETTEN, at the end of the first act, gave a concerto on the violin with admirable skill, but prolonged it to too great an extent for the taste of the audience, as some feelings of weari ness were mingled with applause towards the conclusion. The dances, as usual, were much applauded. The audience was numerous, and the boxes displayed a gratifying shew of ele gance, beauty, and fashion. Prince Paul of Wirtemberg, son of the late Duke Eugene of Wirternbei*, lately returned to Paris, having completed a voyage on scientific subjects to North America• r o ET R. Y. ON A DEPARTED SISTER. BY A LADY. Misery's child—oh ! fare thee well, I do not mourn thy passing knell, For should I weep, that thy dear eye, Is drain'd of every sorrow dry ? That thy soft heart has ceas'd to beat, Warm'd once by Heaven's purest heat ! flow softly sweet thou seem'st to rest; No tumult now assails thy breast ! The poor to thee complain in vain, No sigh thou echoest back again. Those sighs to sorrow, once so true, Were faithfully return'd by you— From thy small pittence thou would'st spare Thy mite to ease the couch of care ! Thy robe thou freely didst bestow To wrap the bare, chill'd, limbs of woe, And leave thine own exposed and cold To winters - blasts—though thou Wert old ! But fare thee well at Heaven's high throne ! MERCY shall claim thee for her own ! WINCHESTER, MARCH 27. On Monday last, Dr. CHARD held his Annual C oncer t, which was very well attended, indeed, considering that it be gan to snow about noon, and that it did not leave off till after midnight. Lady Mildmay and family, Sir Henry and Lady Tichborne and family, several families of the Close, the Col. lege, the Garrison, and the City, were present, to the number of between 400 and 600. Sir Charles and Lady Ogle, Sir T. F. Heathcote, and the Garnier family, were prevented, by the badness of the evening, from attending, which also prevented nearly 200 others of the City and neighbourhood, who all lost a great treat. The vocal parts were filled by Miss Goodall, and Messrs. !'order, Carter, and Smith, and in the Glees the sweetly melodious voice of the Doctor himself could be dis tincly heard. Miss Goodall was encored in " Deh calma l'af fanso," and "Sweet Ho me ." Th e inst rumen t a l pat was filled principally by the Amateur Gentlemen of Winchester, assisted by Mr. Sibly (Leader)=Principal Second, Mr. Prang ley, and Violoncello, Mr. Lucas. The Doctor presided at the Piano Forte.—The bill of fare consisted of— ACT I. - Romberg. : - Dr. Chard. - Handel. Grand Overture New MSS.

Sibly, Pranglcy-, and Lucas exerted themselves to the utmost, as did also Mr. Guy, of Southamp ton, who kindly lent his services. It was also extremely per ceptible that the amateurs had improved much during the pre sent year. After the Concert was a Ball, which was kept up with great spirit nearly till day-light, the lads and the lasses " tripping it on the light fantastic toe," entirely regardless of the storm till summoned to their chairs and carriages, when they departed highly gratified with their entertainment.

The money Was taken on board ships of war to Malta, and from thence re-shipped to Egypt.• Last week above 1,000 bags of cotton from this quar ter were sold in the city ; and at Liverpool, we understand, the arrivals during a week have frequently amounted to two and 3,000 bags cf the finest cotton wool. The French Papers state, that, at .the op : proaching Assizes at Toulouse, a horrible proem will be sub , mitted to the Criminal Court.. It is nothing less than that of a mother, if the sacred name may be so far profaned, charged with the foul crime of having burnt her only child ! Some officers of the 10th—or rather some per- ' ' sons in the costume of that regiment—were not: many weeks since invited to a party given by a lady of fashion residing in one of the squares in Dublin. The invitation was accepted, and the lady, anxious to lose no opportunity of contributing to the entertainment of her guests, seeing these affected coxcombs stanging aloof from the social circle, and appearing to look dis contented, asked them. to join the dance. The stiff and con ceited reply was, " The 10th don't dance." She then asked them to go to the card-table. The reply was, " The loth don't plav cards." The lady, even after tliese ridiculous replies, still anxious to please them, asked them to join the party in the music-room, " The 10th don't like music" (arid we should be surprised if they did, for that would be a proof of some civi lization) was the reply. The lady naturally chagrined at such impertinence, left them to shift for themselves till supper time. On supper being announced she expected the leth would be consistent in their negative character, but having more regard for their appetite than their consistency, they were proceeding to the supper-room, when.the lady said in a loud tone, she sup posed the 10th did not sup. The gentlemen went off, regretting the loss of their supper.—( Morning Paper) FUNERAL OF SIR GEORGE COLLIER. --The re mains of this lamented Officer will be interred in a vault pre pared for the family in die New Church at St. Pancras, on `Wednesday next. The funeral procession will leave his brother's house, in Fitzroy-street, precisely at one o'clock. CAPTAIN PARRY'S SECOND VOYAGE. In our copious statement, on Saturday, of this interesting work, we were unable, for want of space, to notice the description which this intrepid Navigator of the Frigid Zone gives of the recep tion experienced by the Expedition on its return to the shores of this country. It was a recep tion that will for ever greatly reflect to the credit of the inhabitants of Lerwick, while a neglect, nearly as cold as the hemisphere they had been navigating, has apparently been extended towards them in other quarters. From this apathy the cities of Winchester and Chichester must be exempt, for both of them, with highly praise worthy zeal, lost no time in recording their approbation,and conferr ing on Captain PARRY and on Captain LYON the freedom of their Corporations. Had these ven turous individuals belonged to some Radical fac tion, requisitions for meetings would have been called to confer a mark of approbation upon them—while their claim for extending our Geo graphical knowledge of the world, and planting the English standard in almost its Northern limits, are not deemed worthy of the smallest at tention in other places. A monument to the me mory of litcoo—a thousand pounds to the Spa niards—were subjects of far greater moment for the consideration of some of the turtle eating citizens, who would have been loud in their rake and lavish of their honours, had some new land been discovered from whence their appe tites for politics and feasting could have been supplied. In addition to the two cities men tioned we must not omit to state, that on Captain PARRY'S- landing at Whitby, accompanied by Mr. FISHER, the astronomer, they were received by the cordial greetings of a great number of the worthy inhabitants, who expressed the warmest congratulations on the return of the Expedition. Captain PARRY'S words are, " 1 feel it utterly impossible adequately to express the kind ness and attention we received for the three or four days that we were detained in Bressay Sound by a continuance of un favourable winds. °tithe first information of our arrival the bells of Lerwick were set ringing, the inhabitants flocked from every part of the country to express their joy at our unex pected return, and the town was at night illuminated as if each individual had a brother or son among us. On the 12th (October ' last) being Sunday, the officers and men of both ships attended Divine Service en shore; when the worthy Minister, the Rev. Mr. Menzies, who was' before well known to many among us, offered up in the mast solemn and impressive manner a thanks giving for our safe return ; at the same time calling upon us, with great earnestness, never to forget what we owed to Him who had been ' about our path, and about our bed, and who spieth out all our ways.' The peculiarity of the cir , curnstances under which we had joined the congregation, the warmth of feeling exhibited by every person assem bled within the sacred walls, together with the affectionate energy of the preacher, combined to produce an effect, of which words can convey but little idea, but which will not easily be effaced from the minds of those who were present on this affect ing oeca4ion."

The arrivals Of last week were again tolerably good, but of Oats they were very large. This morning there is only a mo derate quantity of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Peas, from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, and but few vessels fresh up with Oats, so that the market to-day is composed chiefly of good quantities of Corn which remain from former samples. Prime day's samples of Wheat have sold freely, and rather exceeded the terms of last Monday ; but all other qualities sell heavily. Barley for maltsters fully support the rate last quoted. Beans have no variation in value. Grey Peas fully support their last quotations ' • Boiling Peas are very dull. Prime Oats sell more freely, and the quotations of last Monday were fully main tained for this article. The Flour trade is unaltered.
