In thi Journal des Debits, a letter is given from Con-
stantinople, dated the 29th March, in which it is stated
that 900 beads of the late inhabitants of Vasilades, and
Anatolie°, atnotg which were those of thirty Priests, dis-
tinguished by ti•eir long hair and beards, were stuck upon
the walls of the Seraglio. The inhabitants of Anatolico, to
whom Ines nix had granted quarter, had arrived at the
ford of the Acheloos at Arta, where they were all massacred.
In Portugal, 1). AttANJO CORREA DT LACERDA,
Minister of the Interior, and D. LOUIS PEREYRA DE

Affairs, have resigned in consequence of the dismissal of
the BARON DE RANDuret from the Intendency of the
Police. The latter has demanded a trial. He quitted his
command at Lisbon in May 1823, to join the troops who
afterwards fore..sd the King to leave that capital.

Letters from Odessa. of the oth April, say that letters had been
received there from Constantinople. dated 30th March. Mr. S.
Canning had entered into negotiatilms. with the Divan, and it was
even said that he had had a cooknence with the Reis Effendi,
which had bated eight hours. There were nothing but conjectures
respecting the result of his efforts. The Turkish ministers will
begfn again to give iaCiThie and evasive answers, which couriers
will convey wt:h all expedition, and in all directions, to the several
Xuropean cabinets; meantime Greece is fighting her last batdes,
and in the mid will be subdued. We may foresee the impres-
iron that would be made In the Divan on the one hand, and
urrei the Greeks on the other, by the fall of Misaolonghi. humor.

CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.

As we stated yesterday, this was a close holiday at the
Bank and Stock Exchanges; but jobbers and brokers as-
sembled on the Royal Exchange, where a good many
bargains were done in South American Securities, which
have risen in consequence of a report that the Pyramus
frigate had arrived from Vera Crux, with a great quantity
otdollars on boird, from the Mexican Government, to pay
the dividends. Consols were eddrely neglected.
Aecounta this morning state that the corvette Bolivar,
going to the United States, with alms on board for
the ships purehased by the Colombian Government there,
has been captured by two Spanish frigates.

Mexican Six per Cents were as high as 66 for a abort
Cam, and Colombian Bonds reached et!.
Cotisols were reported at 7911, but it was merely a no-
minal quotation.

We have received gainburgh Papers to the 42c1 instant
They contain no news, and the tact of their arrival is
tinily interesting from tht rapidity with which they have
reached us. The Sir Edward Banks steam packet, which
brought them, made its passage in .S 4 hours.
Accounts from Bogota (Colombia), of ten days later
date than any of the preceding arrivals, state that the
finance statements were before the Congress, but had not
been printed. The letters still mention the law for raising
a loan in Europe, to pay off the floating debt.
By arrivals from Batavia of the date of the Yith of De-
cember, we learn that there had been no further engage-
Rient9 between the Dutch troops and the natives. Dollars
had advanced to thirty per cent. premium, on account of
the convulstsl state of the colony.

advertisement. a meeting was held, for the purpose of pe-
titioning Parhatneut for the abolition of Negro Slavery in
the West Indies. The Chair was expected to have been

that gentleman, stating, that owing to indisposition he was
Witted to decline the honour. James Cropper, Esq. was
