Nor let it be .any longer said by our neighbours, that while they are ministering to the wants of the Greek people, we are looking on with indifference ! It is truly humiliating to reflect, that the principal aid by which two British officers are keeping the fleets and armies of Greece together, should be derived from the Continental subscriptions, while not an effort has been made to assist them from this country. `Without dwelling on that part of our duties towards Greece, which is dictated by Religion and Christian Charity, I am more anxious to convince you, as a bondholder, that as a mere question of interest, you are bound to second the magnanimous intentions of the high contracting parties, by enabling the provisional Government to perfect the system of naval and military orga nization commenced under the auspices of our gallant countrymen. Need I say, that a prompt measure to this effect, on the part of the bond holders generally, would afford the likeliest means of an early dividend? It is evident that the three Cabinets cannot in the actual state of things, come forward to the relief of the nation which they have virtually recognized : but I am convinced any measures adopted by the creditors and friends of Greece, would be viewed with in dulgence, if it did not receive their support. At all events, it is for you as a considerable holder of Greek Stock, and one who has already dis tinguished himself in behalf of the cause, to confer. with your friends similarly situated, and decide on the propriety of a general meeting, to consider on the best mode of securing the future interests of all parties. In the event of a public meeting of the Greek bondholders, I need scarcely suggest the import ance of there being a deputation appointed to wait on the Count Capodistrias, who would, I am sure, most gladly give every information on the future prospects of the creditors. The no mination Df his Excellency as Civil Governor of Greece, presents another and powerful guarantee f or t h e f u lfilment of her engagements in this country. I have thought it superfluous to dwell vu the facilities which Greece will have for re - pa ) .'ng her debts, this will be ,am p l y p roved the moauent the treaty of intervention is carried into effect. My antiety to perform the, promises I made both to Gen. Church and Lord Cochrane on leaving Greece, may probably induce me to ad dress a cep) , of my letter to the Editors of the London Paper 3; and through whose medium, I hope to make this appeal known throughout the kingdom. Indeed I should be ungrateful were I to omit this o pportunity of declaring, that if lily poor labours have been any use to Greece, it is altogether due to the generous support of the ,Press. Relying on your taking this subject into im medLite consideration, believe me to be yours ever truly, Batson's Coffee-house, Sept. 16, 1827. EDWARD BLAQUIERE.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, FRENCH PAPERS. (From the ConstitutionneL) (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) MADRID, SEPT. 4.—Our official Gazette of to• day contains the following article : OFFICIAL ARTICLE. His Excellency the Minister Secretary of State for the War Department has addressed to Count Campo Sagrado, Captain-General of Catalonia, by order of his Majesty, the following document : Most excellent Lord,—The substance of the re ports which your Excellency has transmitted since the month of August, 1825, up to the present time, the documents appended thereto, relative to the events in Catalonia, a Summary of the reports of the Captains-General of Valencia and Arragon, the originals of which have been laid before the King, as well as the communications received by the Se cretary for the Department of Grace and Justice; — all these documents exhibit a series of facts, disclos ing a spirit of turbulence, which, originating in the lower part of the Ebro, agitates at present the pro vince of Catalonia. The fortress of Tortosa first fixed the attention o: the factious, and became the principal of their views. There they put in practice, during August and September, 1825, all the resources of seduction to get possession of that place, and to make it the centre of their rebellion. But their efforts were de feated, and an investigation took place, which, ac cording to the orders of the King, after hearing the Council of State, was to have terminated with the least possible delay ; and a decree to this effect was issued July 18, 182 G. But neither the time which has since elapsed, nor the measures which have been adopted, have opened the eves of the seditious. Subsequent to Au g ust and September of that year, new indications of insurrection appeared ; Tortosa was again coveted ; and on this occasion the projects of the factious extended also to the town of Peniscola. This year the designs of the factious became more manifest. Reports, in uninterrupted succession, acquaint the Government with a third attempt on Tortosa, and furnish some details regarding the means employed by the factious to ensure success to their schemes, the execution of which they confided to the chiefs Llobet and Trillas. The Royal con stituted authorities and several persons of the city were to have been massacred; after which the fort was to have been taken possession of and made the scene of disorder and pillage. From this period the bands, though small, became more numerous, and those commanded by Trillas and_ Llobet were recruited. The former of these chiefs, in a proclamation signed by him, made an appeal to the Royalists, stating that the fall of the throne was near, and that secret associations ruled now as heretofore. This proclamation was followed by several others, amongst which was one purporting to have been printed at Perpignan, wherein the re volters declared that their intention was to withdraw the King from the captivity in which they asserted that his Majesty was held; they cried " To arms," and announced the necessity of shedding blood. The grand insurrectionary movement was fixed for the Ist of April. Lieutenant Planes, who hap pened to be employed in the 7th regiment of Infantry, was to direct it on the side of Manresa and Via, and other points. This movement was to have been conducted by the chiefs Ballaster, Dinat, Carnieer, Caballeria, Bossil, Lieutenant-Colonel Bossun (call ed Jeps del Estangs), and Puibo. In fact, all these men appeared at the head of armed bands, and pub lished divers proclamations. The prompt measures taken to repress this movement, and to chastise the tktious, ended in the dispersion of the bands, and the capture of several of the chiefs, some of whom were shot. If the demonstrated movements were calculated by their coincidence to create a belief that they were a regularly concerted plan, the diver sity in the reports, the pasquinades and proclamations of the seditious, and the want of unity in their opera tions,coutribute to the conclusion that their true object was no other than that of profiting, by the disorder, so as to advance their fortune in the end; and these events are considered as an ebullition of folly on the part of persons destitute of talent and money, and urged by want. Thus, when some of the powerful chiefs had been punished, and the armed bands were destroyed, the heart of his Majesty, moved by the image of punishment which had fallen on the guilty, and especially by the misfortunes of their familiea, thought proper to grant an amnesty. This was the decree of the 30th of April, which granted a pardon unto those, who, having been deluded, shOuld have abandoned their rebellious projects and retired to their homes. Even more lately the King extended this favour to several officers and others, such- as Bosch, Ballaster, Bossil, Dinat, Olivarez, &c. who surrendered, imploring the Royal clemency. But it is recorded in the history of all revolts, that the hardness of hearts devoted to disorder and confu sion, and greedy a gain, becomes more restless in proportion as the consoHation of order and regu larity approaches. In July last, the insurrection re-appeared in Cates lania, gradually acquired strength, and fiud itself in the dial-Lets of l'slanresa, Vich, and Gerona. Some of the very chiefs who had been pardoned formed anew or fomented the armed bands,—such was Bossun (called Jeps del Estsngs.) This person ap peased as the principal chief, and although he for merly confined himself to the mountains, he now sp. pearS in the plains, giving himself the title of Com mandant-General of . the Royalist Divisions, exacting from the people money and' contribtitions in kind. Experience hes demonstrated that the rigour of penal laws may be softened towards the generality of the guilty ; but it has shown that this indulgence in regard to the chiefs prejudices the service of his Majesty, because, by abusing his august clemency, they employs t it only to"give a favourable colour to their machinations. It I.as gven happened that this cle mency, has been represented by the seditious as an ‘equrnent to }rove that in their projects they serve our master, The silence of Government the 4 toleration, and it was even has been - reP'.''le nt . ed , a. asserted that the la,_ aron ri'groies was the insti -1 he It gwaetio. were in i o n f have _'eLn awllantltt,esnendm above o e v m e e t t Those , persons s t L o s i who eees: duced by money; and in the last report it a lead them always to desire a change, that the rebel bands have been reinforced by several detachments of Royalist volunteers. st tesi But if, up to the present moment, the number and the quality of the factious afford no ground for at tributing any importance to this disorder, its dura tion becomes an evil greater than the insurrection itself ; and the increase of these bands, the corrup tion of certain districts, the fatigue and the appre hensions of the local and peaceful authorities, call for the despatch of troops, who are now on their march, without the necessity of having recourse to the Army of Observation, part of which had been withdrawn from Catalonia. In extenuation of the evils they create, the fac tious allege the pretexts for their rebellion. They call themselves Royalists, and profane this fair and illustrious name. From an obscure condition, they have reached that of officer, and this noble charac ter they debase, demanding, with arms in their hands, a recompense for anterior services ; mad coin plain at being classed for those which they have ob tained, whilst this classification was proposed to his M a j es ty by a Council of Generals who had distin guished tkernselves in the Royalist ranks, and whilst what was due to ,etch, according to the class in enrolled, was augmented rather thanwliich t diminished. hey‘N Although the number of public employments be limited, they have been confid e d to R oya li s ts ever since the Restoration. who have resisted , It is t o th ose w ho hare fought with arms in their bands, and have been faithful to t he l ast, or have been the victims of the revolution, that pl aces . have been given acc ording to each one's capacity. The dem ' sions of his Majesty, almost continually, have award ed a preference in favour 9: officers from Royalist troops; and - those who left the CatulaY troops have not only kept their places, but have been kept on full pay. Notwithstanding all this, the insurgents include in their accusations against the Masons and other secret societies, all the authorities, without except ing the very highest; theycalumniate the intentions of the chief agents of the King's authority, and vilify the Government of his Majesty, plunging him intoi trouble at a period when he most needs succour. These rebels of every kind reacla the highest pitch of absurdity in spreading a notion of an oppression under which his Majesty groans, and which is the work of those who surround him,—a gross artifice, whereby they try to destroy the independence and dignity of the king, and create confusion, in order to weaken the energy of the defenders of the throne. How can it be said that the King our master is oppressed, when he is established in the plenitude of sovereignty ; when the ancient laws and practices are observed; when the corporations are reinstated; and when the possessors under the revolution are ex-propriated; when his Majesty watches with the most lively solicitude over the preservation of the fundamental laws ; when the most vigorous measures for preserving the laws against all innovation are prescribed and executed; and when an army of ob servation, assembled with rapidity at the august call of the Sovereign, protects the frontiers, to maintain the dignity of the Crown, the laws of the monarchy, and the honour of Spain ? The Royal Guard about th e p erson of the King fills with enthusiasm th e c h asm l e ft by the retreat of the French troops; the organization of the army is consolidating; this army shows itself faithful throughout, and the last drawing of the substitutei has taken place with the greatest celerity, provieg the loyalty and fidelity of the people. The posses sions beyond sea, faithful to the metropolis, are in an increasing state of prosperity, protected by military and maritime means more considerable than ever. The Royalist volunteers, receiving their organization directly from the Sovereign, are protected by all the Ministers. Public instruction, from which the Revo lution had repelled the secular and regular clergy, has now received a totally contrary direction. The police, reformed in its offices and its expellees, is devolved to the ancient authorities; judicious in structions have placed the revenues of the Crown in order, and vivified the interior of the country in all the branches of administration. Lastly, those labours which must produce general order, by combining wants with resources, reach their conclusion, and the credit of the state, vigorously supported, has as cended to a high degree in the midst of that com mercial crisis which has been common to all the States of Europe. Precisely at this moment,•a senseless revolution is projected, so wretched in its origin —the service of the religion and of the King is invoked, whilst the parties disobey the authorities constituted by his Msjesty in the plenitude of his sovereignty,—.whilst they introduce disorders,. incite to vengeance, stir up the people, and vie with each other as to who shall occasion the greatest evils to the State. Under pre tence of religion and an absolute King, they aro sap ping the foundations of religion and monarchy. Restless spirits, like the innovators of all times, see evils every where, and no where see good. Re ligion and the King, however, cannot be satisfied but by a constant obedience and , loyalty, and by sincere vows of gratitude, submission, and peace. His Majesty is pained at the necessity of being obliged to punish rebels ; but he likewise bitterly laments the increase of a disorder, of which he sees no end, and of which it may be difficult hereafter to prevent the consequences. - Such is the true and faithful relation of the events which pass in Catalonia, and of the results which they present. His Majesty orders it to be pub lished, that the truth may be known to all, that ma levolence and erroneous statements may not suc ceed in relaxing the zeal of his faithful subjects, and that the wicked children of their country, and the enemies of Spain, may lose every pretext for calum niating him, and may found no hope on the 4,,no ranee in which they suppose him to be of his real force. His Majesty, resolved no longer to permit vio lence to usurp the rights of legitimate authority, or to allow his name to be abused for the purposes of revolt, determined at the same time to maintain the purity of monarchical sentiments, the benefits of the restoration, and to put an end to the tumultuous scenes which agitate some districts of these pro vinces, has thought proper to ordain as follows " First, The garrisons of Catalonia shall receive a considerable increase of troops of the line, without however, diminishing the forces employed upon other important points. " Secondly, In order to assist the Captain-Gene ral in his numerous labours, there shall be nomina ted a General, who, under the immediate orders of the former, shall be specially charged with the active part of the military operations, and command the forces destined to pursue the rebels. " Thirdly, This General shall cause to be pro claimed to the rebels his commission, and the powers with which his Majesty has invested him ; he will have it in his power to grant an amnesty to those who lay down their arms without delay, with the exception of the Chiefs ; but those who do not take advantage of this amnesty within the time prescribed by the General, shall be shot without mercy. " Fourthly, He is to pursue the rebels without relaxation, till they are reduced to obedience. " Fifthly, He is empowered to dispose of the Royalist volunteers as he may see occasion. s,‘ Sixthly, Those of the volunteers who shall refuse to obey the orders of the General, or who, from fear, connivance, or any other motive, shall refuse to fight the rebels, shall be disarmed, and for ever deprived of the honour of serving in Royalist troops. " Seventhly, In going away, they will be invited to fulfil their duties, to protect the maintenance of peace and interior order, by offering to propose, and proposing to his Majesty, the recompences which they shall have deserved. " Eighthly, His Majesty authorises the said Ge neral to arm when he thi n k s pro p er , t h e loyal in habitants .oho shall voluntarily offer to pursue the rebels, to deiend the obedience due to his Majesty, and to maintin'the tranquillity of the country," I address this communication to your Excellency by order of the King, that you may take the mea sures necessary tft carry it into execution, and that You way transmit it to all the governors and all the authorities of Catalonia. His Majesty, full of confidence in the prudence which characterises your Excellency, is persuaded that with the energetic execution of the measures taken, and with an effic i e n t co-o p eratio n on the part of the governors, military chiefs, and civil authori ties, your Excellency will confirm in the revolted districts the , overei gn . authority of the King our master, and re-RW4l4wis the obj ect o f t h e ;sh peace, of which the state has so much need, 04 which ardent desire of his Majesty. MSAN ay God have your Excellency in his holy keeping. (Signed) The Marquisde BRAND.

(Prom the Gazette cis France, dated Sept. 17 7) PARIS, SEPT. 16,—The It fachqbq merchantman, ' which sailed from Marseilles, after the convoy of the 25th of August, having to stop for one of its crew, was taken on the 3d of September, near Al merie, by a small . Algerine corsair, and retaken on the 4th by his Majesty's ship the Cuirassier. The Machobee has arrived at Toulon. The Cuirassier ' took on board eight 4igerines, whom the corsair had put on board the vessel, and proceedad in pug= suit of it. According to the courier Francais, or rather of some speculators on a fall of the stocks, whose re . mar ks it collected on 'Change yesterday, the corn' • mu nications between th e f ron ti er o f F rance an d the • c apital of Catalonia were inter cep ted. "W . e can 1 affirm, on the authority of our letters, that the Fon- rly • LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1827. The French Papers of Sunday, with the Ga zette de France dated Monday, have been re ceived. They contain an official document of some importance in the present deplorable con dition of Spain. This document purports to be a manifesto from the Minister at War, addressed in the KING'S name, to the Captain-General of Catalonia, in which the progress of the present conspiracy is fully detailed, and a melancholy picture it gives of the inefficient—the contempti ble Government of FERDINAND. By their own confession, the present disaffection dates its origin upwards of a year ago, from which period the rebels have been under arms—in creasing their strength and levying contribu tions on his MAJESTY'S faithful subjects ! And yet with these facts so disgraceful to the character of the Government—with the knowledge that towns were pillaged—forts taken—and the people robbed, or turned houseless into the mountains to save their lives, does the Government of the paternal FERDINAND boast that the public peace has been preserved, and the national in terest protected. It were surely idle to ani madvert upon such a tissue of inconsistency, where each succeeding fact shows too clearly the absurdity of the preceding. But matters have at length arrived at such a pitch in Catalonia as to warn the KING of his own danger, and the steps now taken, or about to be taken, are the effect of necessity—self-preservation, and not dictated by a prudent or wise Government; for a sensible Administration would have prevented the orga nization of such a powerful conspiracy, and not have waited till the rebels made it a matter of doubt which party should prevail—the King's Government or the standard of revolt. It is quite amusing, certainly, to observe the complacency with which the paternal solicitude of FERDI NAND'S Government, for the benefit of his people, is dilated upon in this Manifesto. We are told that when FERDINAND has been re-estab lished in the plenitude of his sovereignty—when the ancient laws and the ancient customs are ob served—when the Corporations are restored to their privileges—when the revolutionary proprietors are dispossessed—when his MAJESTY watches with the most lively solicitude over the preservation a the fundamental laws----when the most vigor ens measured are adopted for preserving them against all innovation; and when, lastly, an army of observation, rapidly assembled at the voice of the KING, protects the frontiers, and gives assurance to the dignity of the Crown and the honour of Spain—how can the rebels say the KING is op pressed, and in the hands of a faction from which they have risen in arms to relieve him ? And, yet, this was the very pretext which the Army of the Faith, under the express sanction of the Consti tutional FERDINAND of Spain, had set up in 1823, when Religion and Royalty were the pass words to treason and bloodshed,—it was the very same pretext which the bigots of intolerance had set up against a liberal KING, liberal only in name, which is now employed against an absolute Monarch. But hear what the Manifesto says about the enthusiasm of the army, and the sa lutary regulations emanating from the wisdom of his MAJESTY. It proceeds : " The Royal Guard tills with enthusiasm the place once occupied in the King's personal service by a French divi sion. The organization of the army everywhere consoli dates itself, That army shows itself faithful, and tha:last levy has been carried into effect with more celerity than ever. It has added to the efficiency of .every description of troops. The possessions beyond seas, which have re mained attached to the mother country, are in a state of increasing prosperity : the Royalist Volunteers receiving their organization directly from the King's hands, are pro tected by every branch of the Ministry. The secular and regular clergy, which the Revolution had expelled from the province of public instruction, have re-accepted it, under salutary regulations, which time has perfected. The police, after being reformed, had passed once more into the hands of the authorities to whom it was formerly entrusted. Wisely drawn up instructions hare restored order in the Reveeitse of the Crown, and in that of all the departments of the Administration. In a word, the day is not far removed when the reforms necessary to balance the expencee and income of the State will be completed, not.. withstanding the commercial crisis which has afflicted all Enrope." In all this. there is not one word about the raid' of treaties which his MAJESTY has so re- ligiously fulfilled—not one syllable about the promises made to be broken—the brave men who have been consigned to the dungeon or the scaffold for their devotion to the legitimate K t NG, and their patriotism in the cause of an enslaved country. It is curious to observe how anxious the Ma nifesto labours to prevent the supposition that :the army wanted for quelling the insurrection in Catalonia should necessarily weaken that on the Frontiers of Portugal, as if the danger from a country with which Spain is at peace were greater than an internal commotion threatening her own existence ! The Manifesto will he found in another column. We received this morning Frankfort papers and the Allgemeine Zeitung to the 19th inst. Under the head of Constantinople 22d Aug. an account is given of the manner in which the three interpreters of the Respective Courts presented the ultimatum concerning Greece to the REIS EFFENDI. His Excellency is said to have re fused the acceptance of any written document, unless he was previously made acquainted with its contents ; and the interpreters not being able or willing to give the reqtlired information, they sought permission to leave the documents, which they laid on a sofa, and instantly retired. This account, if correct, differs a little from the former version, in which the REIS EFFENDI sported his wit upon bills of exchange : CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 22. It was on the 16th of August, as I have already in formed you, that the interpreters of the three Courts who are parties to the Treaty of Intervention, waited upon the Reis Effendi, to present to him this document officially, to gether with an accompanying note from their respective Ministers. I repeat what passed upon this occasion, se as re port states it, without being able to answer for its correctness. The Reis Effendi, attended by his first interpreter, re ceived them in the audience room, and immediately had the question put to them, upon what business were they come to him? On their replying that they had orders to deliver to his Excellency written communications from their superiors, he ordered them to be informed that he could not receive any kind of written communication, unless lie were previously acquainted with its contents, and the interpre ters, therefore, must let him know the subject of the present communication. The interpreters declared that the con tents were unknown to themselves; that they, however, requested his Excellency would allow them to execute their commission, at the same time they laid down the sealed papers on a sopha that stood by, and withdrew without waiting for an answer from the Reis Effendi. If this ac count is true, there is reason to be surprised at the conduct of the interpreters. Some persons conjecture that the Porte will not give the Ministers any answer. This si lence, however, would not be of much avail, as the note sent by the Ministers along with the treaty is said to con tain the following three main points :- Ist. The offer of mediation. 2d. Invitation to suspend all hostilities against the Greeks. 3d. The determination of a time of lb days, within which the Porte is to de clare itself with respect to the overtures of the three Courts, after the expiration of which time, or within, the Porte should observe total silence, or give a negative answer, all negociations with it will be broken off, and the measures adopted which are laid down in the treaty of London of 6th July.

CITY, TwELYE 0' aoes There are not any arrivals of importance this morning. The only ship letters in town are from Newfoundland and Guernsey, and those do not con tain any intelligence of the slightest interest. The contents of the dispatches received by our Govern ment yesterday from Mr. Stratford Canning are looked forward to with considerable anxiety. We have a report this morning that an express hag arrived from Paris, bringing the price of the French Funds on Monday about one half per cent. better ; if this be true it is thought by many individuals that some intelligence of a favourable nature from Con stantinople has been received in Faris, which induces them to hope that the contents of the dispatches re ceived yesterday will prove satisfactory. The English Money market has certainly its" prove proved at t 87 ; a this morning; Broker ;aConsolsf came rthee into thecount opened market and bought 30,0001.

In the Foreign Market there has not been much business transacted up to the present time, Mexican Bonds are 49f. Some large purchases were ma de by one or two leading Capitalists yesterday, which rather gave a colour to the report that a great pro bability existed of the dividends being forthcoming when due; we however see no reason to alter our opinion of yesterday, and most of the individuals who are well informed and interested in the event, h a ve no expectations that the money will be paid. The suggestion of a morning contemporary, that a meet- ing of the Bond-holders be immediately convened► at which M. Rocafuerte shall be requested to at tend and explain what those " accidental eircurn stances have been which induced him to issue t he advertisement, and at the same time to state if a ny probability of a remittance from Mexico ex i sts, ,, io conceived to be the best mode at present which call be adopted. Colombian Bonds are 29; Brazilian, 64k; Greek, 15 k; Portuguese, ?6; Spanish 10. Shares appear rather heavy, very little business has been transacted in them.

The insurgents have nowhere insulted a Frenchman. Letters from Rome say, that in the Consistory which will be held on the 25th of this month, a Prelate of the Netherlands will be promoted to the dignity of Cardinal. Our readers will remember that M. Drovetti, Consul of France in Egypt, returned hither about six weeks ago, after an absence of 27 years. He had obtained leave of absence for a year to pass it with his family, but it seems that his presence near the Pacha has become highly necessary under pre sent circumstances, and his departure for Alexandria is announced as being very shortly to take place. A letter from Perpignan of the Bth of September says—. " A battalion of the Ist Swiss Regiment was going to set out for Catalonia, where it was to be in garrison at Figueiras. It has been countermanded. The Ist Swiss Regiment is to relieve the detach ments of the 43d Regiment of the Line, which is in garrison in the fortresses of the department. The whole of this latter regiment is going to be as sembled at Perpignan, to await further orders from his Excellency the Minister of War." A letter from Bayonne of the Bth of Sept. says— " The day before yesterday five couriers passed through our city, two coming from Madrid and three on their way to that city. Yesterday an express ar rived from Paris, and the despatches were forwarded to Madrid by an extraordinary courier." The nephew of the celebrated and unfortunate Karaiskaki is at this moment performing quarantine at Toulon, on board his Majesty's ship the Boya dere. This young man was very near being killed by an immense lion, which it was believed might be allowed, without danger, to go loose. Karaiskaki was asleep on deck when the lion approached, seized him, and struck his talons into his neck. He would infallibly have perished, had not a sailor come up in time to save him from the almost certain death that threatened him. The surgeon paid the greatest at tention to this interesting young man, who was per fectly recovered in three days. Palelt OF STOGIES THIS Bank 13tock - 9 pet Cent. Red. S,per Cent.
