reports which will not fail to be raised in consequence of the late
events at Lisbon, which has caused a strong sensation here.
Pants, JULY 30.
The young Egyptians who lately arrived at Marseilles, were re-
leased from quarantine, and are on the point of setting cut for
Paris, where they are coming for their education ; they are accom-
panied by their Reis Effcndis. A Lyons Journal says, that it has
learned front an authentic source that their parents rejected the pro-
posals that were made to send three youths to England, to which
country it is well known that n great number of young Persians
have been taken.
They wri:e from Vienna, that the environs of that city were
dreadfully tavaged by a hail storm on the 17th inst., and that it is
particularly to be rtnuuked, that the fields which were provided
with paragretes have experienced no damage ; that it was at once
an afflicting and agonizing sight to observe an immense extent of
country stripped of every indication of fertility, while in the midst
of this desolation a few fields have preserved all the crops, the
leaves and flowers of which were only covered with a small quantity
of snow, into which the hail had been dissolved by the at raction of
the metallic points raised at equal distances.
Neither the Illoititeur nor the Etoilc make any mention of the
change of the 31inistry in Portugal.

By the packet ships Florida and Leeds, arrived at Liver-
pool, from New York, we have received American Papers
to the 9th ult. the extracts from which arc given in another
part of the British Press of this day. The most important
part of their contents is decidedly that which mentions the
Message of the 'Mexican President, on the subject of the
recognition of the Mexican► republieby Spain. It seems
that difficulties of a pecuniary stature have been thrown
in the way of this desirable conclusion, though the event
has been retarded by circumstances, and particularly by the
informality in the papers of the French agent. These
papers also mention the death of President ADAMS on the
day of the celebration of the jubilee, or fiftieth anniver-
sary of the American declaration of independence, which
ha and Mr. J::IFERSON had contributed to draw up.
They were the only surviving agents in that memorable
transaction, and we shall join our regrets to those of Ame-
rica, if the accounts brought by the packet ships, and in-
serted in the New Fork Albion of July Sth, be correct—if
JEFFERSON has sunk along wit th ADAMS on the anniver-
sary of an event, of which even we as Englishmen are will-
ing to proclaim that they had both just and ample reason
to be proud.

We have seen some remarks in Morning Paper, relative
to the appointment of the former Editor df a rival print to
a high office connected with the Maritime Jurisdiction in
the island of Malta. If we thought it probable that his
Majesty's Ministers bad taken these steps with a view to
injure the cause of the Greeks, as it has been insinuated,
we should be the last persons to approve of their measures;
but we arc persuaded that their objects are totally the re-
verse. If there be a party in England opposed to the
Greek cause (and we very much doubt the existence of
any such), and admitting that Sir JOON STODART be-
longs to that party, his situation at Malta only enables him
to put our laws into execution to the extent which his Ma-
jesty's Ministers may think proper; and the appointment of
a person who cannot be suspected of partiality to the
Greeks may throw facilities in the way of our proceedings,
and may prevent many of the exceptions which might
otherwise be taken to lenient measures. In this, therefore,
we can see nothing to discourage the hopes of the Helle-
nists; but we confess that we are not much inclined to
(NKr opinion with anothov.iournsl respecting the value
of Greek Bonds ; for the success which we anticipate as
likely to crown the efforts of the Gre:ks is not of such a
nature as would be likely soon to raise the value of these
securities. It is not likely that the Continental Sovereigt;s
will speedily consent to make England a centre, front which
subjects may be furnished with the means of assering
their rights, if necessary, against their Sovereigns. It is
to be hoped, however, that thq English nation will net be
found less genes ons than the French, and that they will
' I prove that their loans were not sent to Greece merely from
an inclination to speculate in a new species of stock.

CITY, TUESDAY EVr.):ING,

The Money Market of to-day has not displayed much
energy. Consols opened at 781 ; but in consequence of
some heavy Hebrew sales, went down to 77 and finally
resumed the price at which they opened, 7::;. With the
exception of these particular transactions, little or nothing
was done. The heavy Stocks are exceedingly scarce, and
the market is almost paralysed by the quantity of money
which pervades it.
In the Foreign Market there is some movement in Spa-
nish Stock, occasioned, it is said, by expresses having been
despatched to the Holy Alliance body politic, by the Go-
vernment of Spain, on the subject of the situation of that
country, as regards its cennexion with Portugal, and the
effect which is likely to be produced by the liberal policy
lately pursued in respect to that country. Spanish Bonds
rose 2 per cent. yesterday, but have to-day again declined
to 91. American Stock has also declined, Mexican being
' 501 .51 ; and Colombian is at 33;
Brazilian Shares show a quotation of I ; and Tlal-
puxahua are at 20 prem.
The Colonial Sales at Mincing-lane have not been of
any consequence to-day, and the prices will not bear a
higher quotation than last week.
The only alteration in the Course of Exchanges is as
regards Lisbon and Oporto, which are rather lower.
The long continuance of north and north-easterly winds
has had the effect of keeping ships out of the Channel.
The few hour*, howegarreCaatathasky and westerly, within
the last day or two, gave some assistance, and it is under-
: stood that some hundred sail are now working up, so that
doubtless to-morrow will bring intelligence from almost
every quarter of the globe.

ARRIVAL or THE Naw AMERICA,: AMDAESADOR.—
LIVERPOOL, JULY 31.—Mr. Calatin, with his wife anal
daughter, were safely landed this forenoon, having arrived
by the Florida from New York.

day
STATE OE TRADE.—From a careful comparison of the ac.
counts of the past week, as given by the public riots, of the
manufacturing districts more particularly suffering under the pre-
sent depression, we think we are justified in the conclusion that
a beater state of things is not far distant, and that rational hope
may be entertained of a slow but progressive amelioration. In
particular branches of trade, the distress is perhaps fully as great
as ever, but a demand for home consumption, in consequence of
the reduction of stocks, begins to be felt, and the export trade ap.
pears in some degree to revive. To a certain extent, therefore, an
impulse must be given to the manufactures of the country. In
further confirmation of this view of the C/EK`, we extract with plea-
sure the following article:—
" We are happy to say that there appears this week a slight
shade of improvement in the commercial affairs of dais own. It is,
we believe, true that on Tuesday some description of yarn and
of plain hand-loom calicoes were, in patticttlar instances, told at
prices lower than on any former occasion ; but there was more dis-
position to purchase, soul in power-loom cloth prcatb,us prices were
obtained with facility. In several descriptions of manufacture, we
understand, work has this week been given out more freely to the
weavers than for some time past. We sincerely hope we shall ex-
perience no relapse from this favourable change.—Manchester
Gantt inan, Jay :N.
A dreadful accident happened on Sunday night, at
Duagh, county }ferry. A house having caught tire,
several persons were affording assistance in its suppression,
when four men having incautiously got on the roof, it
. gate way, anal before they -could be got out, were unfortu-
. !lately suffocated. Their bodies were nearly burned to
cinders.—LinteriLl' Ci,r(
