LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AIRY Is, 16423.

The Paris Papers of Sunday, received last night, contain
advices from Constantinople contradicting the rumour of
the Egyptians having obtained possession of Navarino ;
and letters from different parts of the Peloponnesua concur
in stating that the Egyptian army had been completely
defeated by Generals YATRACOS and Gurrz•s, and that
ODY3SEes, whose conduct has lately been of an extremely
doubtful character, had again taken the field, and de-
stroyed a corps of Turks in Bcrotia. Accounts from
Zante, in these papers, present a favourable view of the
progress of the Greek arms.
Thetlerman Papers received yesterday, notice that great
preparations are making by RE nse rt A, for the in-
vasion of Western Greece ' • but these preparations, exten-
sive as they are allowed to be, have only served to quicken
the exertions of the Greeks. The Provisional Government
of Western Greece has called upon the inhabitants to rise
en masse, and are strengthening all the military positions
of the province. The most determined spit it appears to'
animate the Greek troops, and the contest is looked to with
the most unshaken confidence. The Allgemeinr Zeiiung,
of the 11th of May, states that the Turkish repc is of
successes over the Greeks were not credited at Constanti-
nople.
The French Chamber of Deputies arc occupied in the
consideration of the Budget. -
The Chevalier de Bistro, the Portuguese Envoy, died at II
Paris on Friday. The Infant DON Mrovet, left Vienna
on the 29th of April, for Brunn, in Moravia. A letter
from Weimar, of the 28th ult., says that the Grand Duke
had been for some time dangerously indisposed, but was
then recovered.

The Catholic Question is decided. At half past five this
morning the House of Lords divided en the second read-
ing of the Bill—when the numbers were—
Against the Bill - 113
Proxies - 63
—l7B
Fork . . - 84
Proxies - - 46
—l3O

Alajority against the Bill 48
The speech which contributed most powerfully to pro-
duce this result was unquestionably that of the Bishop of

CIIESTER. We have given a very full and accurate report
of the Right iteverand Prelate's address. We have no
space now for further observations.

CITY, TELIIDAY EVENING.

The depression in the Money Markets continued this morn-
ing, and Consols were A per cent. lower than yesterday's quotation.
The fluctuations in Consols were, for Money 891 9111 99; ; and
for the Account 901 891/. It was said that some bargains were
done as low as 119;„'
In the Foreign Market, where scarcely any business was done,
the gloom was as great as that of yesterday. Greek Scrip was
done at 7 l discount. Spanish Securities revived in a trifling
degree ; the Old Bonds were at 231 i, and the New 1131 19, buyers.
South American Securities were Languid even at yesterday's prices.
Colombian Bonds were at 881, and Mexican Scrip at 21i die.
count; Brazilian Scrip at / 1 premium, and the Danish at 31
discount.

The Share Market wu as muck deserted as the Foreign
Market. A very few bargains were done in the Potosi Company
at 4A .5; in the Paseo-Peruvian Shares at 10; and in the general
3! ining at 9.

A new Egyptian Company for trading came out this morning.
Some buyers of St. Domingo Coffee appeared in the Colonial
Market; the prices remained firm. Sugar may be quoted at full
Is. to 2s. per cwt. higher than on the last market day•

We arc most happy to state, in contradiction to a report
in circulation, that there is nothing whatever alarming in
the state of the King's health. ilia Majesty is well known
to be subject to the gout, and it is merely a slight attack
of this complaint with which he has now to contend.
Mr. Carter and Mr. Woods have been elected Coroners
for Surrey.

Friday next both houses of Parliament will adjourn for
the NI-haut Holydays ; but at present, it is arranged that
the adjournment will only be to the following Thursday.
All the Public Accounts and Estimates of the Government
Offices were ready by the meeting of Parliament, but Mr.
Goulburn has not yet moved all the :rish Estimates. The
Government Money Bills not being before the House, the
Session will not be quite so short as was at first anticipated.
We are requested to state, that the petition in favour of
the Roman Catholic Claitns, presented by the Marquis of
Lansdown from the parish of St. Luke, was not signed by
the Rector. The chief promoters of it were, we under-
stand, connected with the Roman Catholic Chapel iu
Muorfields. Out of a population of 40,000, only 200 per-
sons could be prevailed upon to sign it. The retition
presented by Lord Colchester from the same parish, against
the Roman Catholic Claims, was agreed upon in the
Vestry, at the usual hour, ten o'clock in the morning,
convened by a requisition, read in the church on the Sun-
day previous, as the Local Act directs, and was signed by
the Churchwardens and 500 Vestrymen, the qualification
for which is 30/. per annum rental.
