It is'added, a t the Emperor DON PEDRo has solicited the ha n d of a German Princess. 'Amongst the reports in circulation at Frank ort t . are two which prob a bly res t on no founda ton thou g h Diplomatic authority is attributed ° lle of them--that which relates to Mr. STRATFORD CANNING. The first rumour states that the Egyptian troops are preparing to evacuate the Peloponnesus • and the second, that the Porte, attributing to the British Ambassador the instigation of the Treaty of Intervention, had realized its menaces by arresting and confining him in the Seven Towers, without resorting to the same measure with the Ambassadors of the other Powers. We received this morning the Journal of St. Pdersburgh to the 26th ult., which contains more news from the army izl Georgia. It ap pears that a desperate battle took place be- tween a division of the Russian army, which advanced to the relief of the convent of Etchmiadzine which was besieged by the Persian army of 25,000 men, commanded by AnnAs MIRZA. The Russians claim the victory, say ing that the enemy lost 3,000 men, while their own loss was very severe. But we can hardly credit the Russian account : NEWS FROM GEORGIA. ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPT. 24. General Sipiaguine having joined the battering train on the Bth (20th) August, at Djelal Oglou, sent parties of Cos sacks towards Gliouinri, Amamli, and Karaklissi, to cover the passage of their artillery by the Bezobdal. On the 12th (24th) the park was beyond that chain of mountains. On approaching Soudaghent, General Sipiagnine was informed that the enemy, to the number of four or five thousand men, including both cavalry and infantry, occupied the road, and advanced in consequence with his cavalry, after placing his infantry in an advantageous po sition. Their numerous troops of horse attacked the in fantry, but the fire of our artillery soon dispersed them, and though they several times returned to the charge, they had no more success. General Sipiaguine afterwards reached without obstacle the camp of Lieutenant-General Kras sovsky. On retreating from Soudaghent, the enemy in consider able force (4,000 men) having stopped between Mount Alaghez and the camp of Djanghili, Lieutenant-General Krassovsky passed the Abarane with two battalions of in fantry, SOO Cossacks, and two pieces of cannon, and went to attack them in the advantageous position which they occupied near the mountains. The enemy stood firm against the Cossacks till they perceived the infantry, but as soon as the latter appeared they took flight, and were pursued by the Cossacks and the Tartar cavalry of Bast chali, which General Sipiaguine had brought with him. The detachment returned to the camp in the evening. Lieutenant-General Krassovsky was informed that the enemy were besieging the convent of EtchmiadZine, and that the place began to be much incommoded by the bat teries that had been erected against it. This news was con firmed by a brisk cannonade, which was heard in the morn ing of the 16th (28th). In the evening of the same day the General left his camp at Djanghili, with four battalions of infantry, 500 Cossacks, and 12 pieces of cannon, and on the 17th (29th) arriving on the eminences between Asch tarak and Outurane, he discovered the Persian army, con sisting of above 10,000 infantry, and 15,000 cavalry, un der the soramand of Abbas Mirza, which occupied both banks of the Abarane. Their principal battery commanded the road to Etch miadzine, which is lined at this part with blocks of stone and steep rocks. Their infantry formed in three lines, had its left supported by the Abarane, and cut the road itself with its right wing. Their cavalry, in large masses, occu pied the neighbouring heights. Though Lieut.-General Krassovsky was fully sensible of the difficulty of forming a passage by this road with 3,000 men only, yet fearing to lose Etchmiadzine, he nevertheless resolved to advance. The rapid movement of our columns, supported by the artillery, broke the enemy, who aban doned the road with considerable lose. Notwithstanding the well supported fire of his batteries, our troops and their train of equipages, protected by our artillery, happily reached the position which the Persians had just quitted ; but the rapid declivities of a road strewed with rocks, and the accidents that occurred among the waggons of the con voy, impeded their march. At this moment the enemy attacked us on all sides, and their 22 cannon battery did much dentate to the equipages : considerable bodies of infantry and cavalry charged us with impetuosity, but were always repulsed at the point of the bayonet, and our artillery, ably directed, did them considerable injury. This very sanguinary battle continued Irons seven in the morning till four in the afternoon. At two wersts before Etchmiadzine the Persians were again repulsed at all points, by the unshaken valour of the officers and men, though exhausted and fatigued by the ex.. cessive heat, and the total want of water from the camp to the Monastery, and an incessant combat with an enemy ten times more numerous. The ravage which our artillery made in the ranks of Abbas Mirza is enormous : in many places the ground was covered with the enemy's dead, up to the mouths of our cannon. Lieutenant-General Krassovsky was always so close to the Persian masses, that towards the end of the battle, he had not a single charge of grape shot to fire at them. The loss of tl: enemy amounts to three thousand men killed and wounded ; but ours is also severe. We have to regret the death of two most brave and dis- tinguished superior officers : Lieutenant-Colonel Goinvixle, of the Crimea regiment of infantry, and Major Beloser, of the Sebastopol regiment of infantry ; of four inferior offi cers, and 0f679 subalterns and privates killed in the action. Lieutenant-Colonel Schourosky, commanding the 40th re giment of Chasseurs, three superior officers, thirteen su— balterns, and 318 privates were wounded ; lastly 134 men are missing. Lieut.-General KTsovsky himself rece i ve d a severe contusion in the arm, which materially damaged th e bone. The General highly commends the conduct of Colonel Gullensmidt, who commanded the artillery on that day.-- On entering Etchmiadzine, Lieut.-General Krassovsky learnt that the besergers had removed their batteries during the night, and joined the main body of the Persian army, and that the garrison of the place had repulsed with the greatest courage all the attacks of the enemy, who had suffered considerable loss. The number of ships arrived at Cronstadt, to Sept. 23, Ras 1085. Sailed 953. At Riga, to Sept. 15, arrived 1,211, sailed 1,128. It will be observed by the notice issued by M. Ito -CAFUERTE, the Mexican Charge d'Affair es i n this country, t h at t h e M ex i can Go vernment have ,000 dollars, in payment of the last to ship for this 500 country taken measures' dividend d ue otl their Bonds, and that this re mittance may be British ship of War, expect e d i n a f e w weeks by a for wl ich application has been made to the Commander-in-Chief of his MAJESTY'S ships at Jamaica. We rejoice at this intelligence, not more for the sake of those who have invested their property in these Se curities, than for the credit and honour of the Government of Mexico. We cannot, however, but still think that that Government did not evince the an.:iety for the due fulfilment of its obligations, which it ought to have done both from principle and policy, and that South American credit will not speedily recover from the effects of the shock it received by th e recent failure of the punctual payment of the Dividends of that State, which enjoyed the greatest con fidence in the money markets of Europe. All the new states would have best promoted their interests by fulfilling their engagements for the payment of the inter est o f t h e L oans th e y had raised in this country by anv sacrifice, however great, in any other respect s . Th e i r very ex i stence as States was dependent on their credit, and every thing else should have been hazarded to establish that first of requisites. Since writing the above, we are authorised to state, in contradiction to letters from Mexico, which appeared in most of the Papers of this morning, that any proposals for a loan of money to the Mexicali Government, in which the names of Messrs. BARING, BROTHERS, & Co., may have been made use of, were entirely unautho rized by that firm. The Frankfort Journal, received this morn ing, contains the following article against the Greeks : • SMYRNA, ♦UG. 31. (EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LITTER.) Since the treaty of the Gth July has been known in the East, the Greeks and Franks indulge in endless conjectures respecting its result. Some already see Greece, in the number of the independent States of Europe, they fancy they see the empire of Constantine rising from its ashes ; others dream of a republic, the dictator of which they de signate before hand. But need we be astonished that here, in the East, the land of the most ingenious of fa bles, conjectures at least should be made on so marvellous a phenomenon as the union of the flags of France, Eng land, and Russia, to conquer the liberty of Greece. It must not be supposed, however, that this error, excusable as it is, is general. All those persons who have any con nection with the European Consuls, or the Officers of the several squadrons—all those who are able to appreciat e the diverse and very opposite interests of the powers who have signed the treaty—those, lastly, who know the real situation of the Greeks, and who are not blind to the strength and resources of the Ottoman power, do net participate in the illusions which the treaty of the title July has excited in some minds. Where, besides, are the land armies commissioned to conquer Turkey for the benefit of the Greeks ? Supposing the possibility of the union and co-operation of the naval forces of the three Powers—supposing these united forces to attack, and re duce Constantinople, with what troops would that great city be occupied? We have not heard that land forces have been sent to M. de Rigny, or to Commodore lama ton. But let us see what are the means of defence against so improbable au attack—let us examine, above all things, the military force of the Greeks, for to them alone is left the care of seconding by land the efforts of the combined fleets, if indeed they should make any attempts. While the journals of Edrope represented Turkey as reduced to the last gasp, we were here witnesses of the slow, indeed, but complete fall of Ispara, Candia, Na varino, of almost the whole of the Mores, of Misso longhi, and, lastly, of the Acropolis of Athens : during this time military discipline was being introduced into Egypt, and in the whole Ottoman empire, while the Greeks, on the contrary, repelled all attempts that were made to form them to European tactics, without which no victory is now possible. At the moment I am speakinc , to you, the Greeks have not 2,000 regular troops, and they are entirely destitute of cavalry and artillery. The Greeks have suffered themselves to be intoxicated by the brilliant successes which they obtained during the first two years of their insurrection against the Porte: they did not know how to profit by their victory,—perhaps they abused it. But their greatest fault was their be• lieving themselves to be impregnable in their Penin sula of the Peloponnesus,—not reflecting that this centre of their insurrection then had before it as a fortified out post, the empire which the formidable Ali Pacha, of Ja nina, had raised. Bnt soon this bulwark was overthrown. Ali Pacha was killed, and neither the cause nor the conse quences of his fall were perceived. The warlike Suliots were soon afterwards driven from their rocks; the Greeks had been guilty of the imprudence of placing at the head of their troops one of the brothers of Ypsilanti; from that moment England and Austria took the Ottoman Empire under their protection, and Russia itself gave it pledges of security ; a distinguished English character went to St. Petersburgh, and the reconciliation of the two Empires soon took place; the treaty of Akermann was signed, or rather it sanctioned that of Bucharest. While these accounts were being accomplished, at the time when M. de Ribeaupierre was receiving so distin guished a welcome, when the Sultan was ridding himself of his Jasissaries, at the moment, in short, when the Greeks were torn by intestine dissentions, it was then, I say, that your journals in Europe, and above all in France, more loudly proclaimed the independence of Greece, Alas of all their ancient institutions, these unhappy Greeks have retained only the Ostracism, which all their Chiefs in their turn have felt in all its rigour. I confess, however, that credulous people may have been latterly led astray by the promises which the treaty of the 6th of July seemed to contain; but they do not consider that the Cabinet which has stopped the Russians on the Pruth, and raised up a war against them en the Araxes, is the same which now pretends to re-establish the peace in the East, with the aid of a few men of sv:ir only. In another letter I shall explain to you why Turkey does not push the war with all the vigour of which it is capable, and why it makes so obstinate a resistance to the Ambas sadors of the Powers who are parties to the treaty. THE HAGUE, OCT. 9.—According to accounts from Java, brought by his Majesty's ship the Zealander, two distinguished Chiefs of the insurgents, the Pongerangs Notto Prodjo and Serang, besides eight Tommougongs, had submitted to the Netherlands Government, which it was hoped would have a favourable effect on the minds of the insurgents ; otherwise nothing of importance had occurred. One of the Jamaica papers notices another infringement of the Orders in Council by Ame rican vessels. A ship direct from New York had arrived off Cornwall, bound to Montego Bay for orders, where, it appears, she procured a supply of water. From some misunderstand ing relative to a market she proceeded next day to St. Thomas's. This communication of American vessels with the ports of a British island, in defiance of the Order in Council, is rather more than would be permitted to British vessels on the American coast ; for by their Act concerning navigation, which came into force on the Ist July, it is enacted that " every such ves sel so excluded from the ports of the United States, that may enter, or attempt even to enter, in violation of this Act, shall, with the tackle, apparel, and furniture, together with the cargo on board such vessel, be forfeited to the 'United States." With these facts staring us in the face, some remedy for the infringement of our Orders in Council would be well worth the at tention of Mr. HusicissdN. We are authorised to state, that the Charge d'Affaires from.the United States of Mexico has received official notice from his Government, under dale the 16th August, that application had been made through the Mi nister of his Britannic Majesty, for a British vessel of war, to receive on board 500,000 dollars, destined for the pay ment of the Interest due on the Loans negociated by Mexico in this country. A circumstance of a somewhat ludicrous na ture occurred in one of the churches of this city (Glasgow) a few Sabbaths ago.

The ears of the audience were saluted with " Remember in prayer the Rev. ,—," and it was some ti me before they recove re d f rom their astonish ment. The Reverend Gentleman was greatly nonplussed, and did not seem at all to relish the idea of putting 11 1 ) prayers so very publicly in his own behalf.— Glasgow Chronicle.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TirELvE o'CLocr. The British Stock Market remains in nearly a calm, and no business can be reported of the least importance. Consols opened at 87k, and have since been alternately buyers and sellers; they are now quoted at the former. There is no alteration in Exchequer Bills, which continue at 61 2, and India Bonds, 94 6 premium. The only attention which has been paid to the Foreign Funds has been again solely devoted to Mexican Bonds, the fact of insurances having been effected on specie yesterday caused them to rise to .54, and this morning they opened at 541, and have been in a constant state of agitation ever since; from the above price they went up to 6, fell to 531, and have again gone up to 56 7. There are still unbelievers that money will eventually arrive, whilst the confidence of another party is unbounded ; they say the remittance of half a million of dollars, which is to arrive by the Aurora frigate, is the pro duce of the Custom-house duties at Vera Cruz, and that no opportunity has existed since the sailing of his Majesty's ship Britontart from thence to Tampico to forward them; it is also added that the loan for two millions of dollar's has actually been contracted for since the disturbances at Vera Cruz have been settled. It is fair, however, to state that the com munication made to the Bondholders of the expected remittances of funds is vague, and bears no signature; to this it is answered that M. Rocafuerte's indispo sition will account for this document not bearing his signature. The heavy fluctuations in this stock has occasioned fears of numerous failures, which has been already verified by the announcement of one, but we believe not of much importance. Three per Cent.

SHORT MEASURE OF COALS.—AIIen William Clifford was brought before the LORD MAYOR by Mr. Bumsted, one of the principal coal meters, under the following circum stances, of no small importance to the public at large:— He stated that Clifford was stationed at Boy and Austin's wharf, Wapping, on the sth of October instant, to measure the coals that went from that. wharf ; that of six chaldrons sold by Mr. Brown, of Mark-lane, to a house in the city, meted by Clifford on the sth, and sent from Messrs. Boy and Austin's wharf on the following morning, 13 sacks were measured at the purchaser's house and found to be short four bushels. The other part of the coals was shot into a cellar, from which it was impossible to have it taken to be re-measured. Clifford had been suspended by the prin cipal meters, and be was now brought before his Lordship for his disposal of him. Clifford said the fact was, that it was late in the night on which the coals were loaded, and he having had some thing else to do, left them to be loaded without being mea sured at all. The LORD MAYOR considered this no excuse whateveri; it was impossible, in justice to the public, that a Magistrate should pass over such a fraud. The public had no protection, if such conduct on the part of a meter could be allowed. Wherever a meter was found to connive in any way whatever in such a fraud, he ought not to be suffered to mete another bushel, and therefore his Lordship dismissed him from his situation.

Mr. Itar.t.s was occupied a great part of the day in hear ing informations against several publicans of St. Martin's Parish, for selling beer and spirituous liquors, during divine service. He commended very highly the Overseers of that Parish, who, it appeared, had adopted the plan of going round to the different houses in Church time, observing that it would have the desirable effect of; at least, keeping the streets in a decent §tate on Sundays.

There is, therefore, little chance of saving the cargo. LAW INTELLTGENCX.-(TINS DAY.) COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (London. Adjourned Sittings, before the Loan CLITEF Juvrics: anti s. Common Jury.) His Lordship sat to-day in the Old Court of King's Bench. [Several causes which were little more than writs of enquiry, were disposed of at the setting of the Court. EDGARD v. WATSON, which excited considerable in terest in the musical world, %vas referred by the parties.] IMPORTANT DECISION. BATHEWS V. GALENO. This was an action upon a Bill of Exchange, for the amount, of 11/. Mr. Sergeant WILDE appeared for tire plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant LAWES, for the defendant, said that the main defence to this action was usury, and usury too of the worst description. He said, the circumstances out of which the transaction arose, were shortly these, the defendant sent a child to a school kept by Macauly, the drawer of the bill, which was given for the amount of a half year's board and tuition. When the bill became due, Mr. Galeno applied to Macauly for a further extension of time, and actually gave one pound for that indulgence. On a second application for time, he was told by Macauly that his bill was in the hands of Bathews, the present plaintiff. Galeno accordingly had recourse to him, and it was ultimately agreed that the defendant should give Bathews a discount of 2/. for an addi tional indulgence of one month. The defendant had thus given to Macauly, the drawer of the bill, 1001. per cent. interest, and to the plaintiff he had actually paid 2001. per cent. The Learned Sergeant then called Mrs. Jaker in support of his statement. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant WILDE—I ge nerally go by the name of Galeno. Mr. Galeno is not married; he has children; the age of his young est child is two years, and of his eldest, four and a half. I am the mother of these children ; I have been under Mr: Galeno's protection for about six years. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE thought the 'evidence of this lady could not be received. A married man could not call his wife as a witness on his ,behalf, and it would be anomalous indeed, to allow a man living in a sinful state to be in a better condition, than if he were married. " I am not aware (continued his Lordship) that the point has ever been directly decided. The great difficulty here is, that we have the evidence of the fact from the wo man herself. Get other proof, and I shall at once decide that this woman is not a competent witness. At the same time I must say that I would not have permitted her to criminate herself, had I the slightest suspicion that she was going to admit her connection with the defendant." Mr. Sergeant WILDE then called the defendant's solicitor, but although he was examined at great length, nothing tangible could be elicited from him. He had been often at the defendant's house; had dined with him ; he had seen Mrs. Jaker' in Mr. Galeno's bed-room whilst he was sick, but there was nothing in their conduct which led him to con clude that she was the mother of Galeno's children; he saw her speaking to the children, but not caress ing them after the fashion of a mother. The Learned Sergeant then had recourse to Mr. Orchard, the plaintiff 's solicitor, and was more fortunate. That gentleman proved that he had seen the lady walking with the defendant in Wil mington-square; they were accompanied by a child, which the defendant called his. Other circum stances occurred which proved that Mrs. Jaker was its mother. Mr. Sergeant LA` ES cross-examined the witness, without beink able to remove the impression which his direct examination was calculated to make. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE then left it to the Jury to say, whether they believed that Mrs. Jaker was " under the protection" of the defendant : in considering that point, they must altogether dismiss from their minds Mrs. Jaker's own admission. His Lordship added, that Lord Kenyon had refused to receive the evidence of a woman so circumstanced in favour of her paSunour's life. Was it not equally proper to reject her evidence when offered respect ing his property, which she was to share with him. The Aim( were of opinion, that Mrs. Jaker was living criminally with the defendant, and therefore, found their verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant LAwßs applied to his Lordship to reserve the point for the consideration of the Court; this would save expense to the parties, who were very poor. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—I shall do no suel thing. It would be quite different, if I bad in 3 doubt upon the point. Lord Kenyon did not doub it—why should I doubt it ?. IMPERIAL BRAZILIAN MINING COMPANY.-(THIS DAY.) An adjourned meeting of the Proprietors of the above Company was held this day at the London Tavern, JOSHUA WiLicEs, Esq. M.P. in the Chair. _ The business commenced by the Secretary reading the notice for the present meeting, which wi.s au adjournment of the half-yearly meeting, for the purpose of taking the sense of the Proprietors as to ti.e expediency of accepting a dividend of 1/. 10s. per share on the present occasion, or waiting until further remittances of gold were received from Rio Janeiro, which are daily expected. The CHAIRMAN then read the half-yearly Report, which was read at the last meeting. It stated that the King of Mexico had recognised the right of the Company to three of the most valuable gold mines. From those mines 1,214 lbs. weight of gold had been extracted, of which 246 lbs. bad been received by his Majesty's ship Waripite, and 154 lbs. by his Majesty's ship Eclair. These two remittances produced about 18,0001., and a much larger remittance was daily expected. The Report concluded by the - recommendation of the Directors that a dividend of 1/. 10s. per share should be now made. Extracts were then read from communications lately re ceived from the servants of the Association in South Ame rica, which were of a most favourable character. Mr. CAMPBELL said, that the Report of the Meeting was calculated to satisfy the expectations of every reasonable mind. He therefore proposed that the Report be received, and that the dividend of 6/. 108. be now made, according to the recommendation of the Directors. He understood that if the expected remittances were received before the Share holders w appointed o t n t eid d r f e o c e ei t v b e e payment of the dividend, the Share- The CHAIRMAN signified that the intention of the Di rectors was stated by the Hon. Proprietor. Mr. GIBSON then seconded the Resolution, which passed u nanimously. A PROPRIETOR said, there was one subject on which he conceived it most important, that he, as well as the public, should receive some information. It was. stated in the House of Commons last Session by a Member of Parliament, who took a great interest hi the abolition of the slave-trade, that the wines of the Association were all worked by slave labour. Now his inquiry simply was, if the circumstances they stated were really the fact? The CHAIRMAN after conferring with sow:e of the Directors, inquired whether it was the wish of the Meeting that he should answer the question put by the Proprietor. —(Many voices called out, " no, no.")—The Chairman said, that as it seemed to be against the feeling of the Pro prietore, he should not answer the question. The PROPRIETOR said, that the question he asked we , one so simple in its nature, that it admitted of no evasion. It was extraordinary that there should be any reluctance to answer it ; and whatever might be the feeling of th. , Meeting, he considered an answer was doe to him as Proprietor. .. • GIBSON said, that no doubt any of the lion. Di rectors could answer the Proprietor's question ; but ver) likely the answer would be misunderstood in a large Meet ing like the present. But it was a sufficient rea son that the sense of the Meeting was against answering the question ; and he hoped that th, refusal to answer it would riot be improperly construed. lie concluded by moving the thanks of the Proprietors t 4. the Chairman and Board of Direetots, which passed mut nimously. The CHAIRMAN, then returned thanks, and the asset ing adjourned. The French College of Physicians have lately decided that the cause of ladies' teeth decaying at so mueii earlier a stage of life than those of the opposite" sex, is the great friction of the tongue upon them.

PLANTATION SUGARS.--In the low and middling de scriptions there has been a good portion of business done this week, at the decline in prices quoted, via, is. a 2s. per cwt., principally by the Grocers: in the Refining qualities there continues to be very little done—priees are but little varied. The accounts received this morning from the West India Islands are again of a very unfavorable nature, and appear to have induced the bilyers to purchase more freely this afternoon, at the prices quoted : some of the importers of Jamaica Sugars decline selling at the present prices.— Yesterday 3,275 bags Mauritius Sugar were offered by public sale, but the greater part were bought in at very stiff prices : bad the proprietors been determined to sell, a re, duction of full 2s. must have been submitted to.
