LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1826.

l►t calling the attention of our readers to the extracte
winch we have made this day from the French l'apers, ws
hare to allude in particular to the extract from the Quoti-
then:. 1., relative to the affairs of Turkey. There is every
tir:m to suppose that this document emanates from a
high quarter, as the details show clearly that it is no
fabrication. The wr her has evidently the means of getting
at important facts, and we confess ourselves very much
inclined to agree with the conclusion which he draws
usttlisibly from these facts, that the change in the Turkish
military system was effected with the concurrence of some
of the Foreign Ambassadors. ►►'e su'ijoin several other
extracts from the French Papers, which we received last
Light :

PAIII;, JULY 17.

Letters from Constantinople, which have been received at Paris,
und which are of the 25th and 26th of June, confirm the dreadful
nets mentioned in letters from Bucharest of the 28th June, that
Constantinople was in flames on the 24'h.

The Brazilians frigate, from Rio de Janeiro, entered the port o
Lisbon on the 4th of July. It had not yet communicated with
any body. Important events were expected, but .he most perfect
tranquillity continued to prevail in that capital.
fht Nufi.-.1. del Gloria.,, of the Gth July, announces, on the ere-
dit of letters front Corfu of the Oath June, that Colocntroni was
master of the greater part of the Illorea, and that Ibrahim Paella,
....hose army was reduced to the most deplorable condition, was
t.egotiating with that Chief for the evacuation of the Greek territory.
The same paper gives the following view of :he commerce be-
tm:en England and Italy, 11124 and 1815:

1824. 1825.
Esp. to England £1.123,3441 Exp. to England C 1,127,892

Thus. in 1821, the balance against Italy in favour af England was

It is thought that Mr. Canning trill come to Paris in the month

The Au:llion ()ter..., announce that Lill Cochrane has de.
!handed of the Greek Government 35,potit. sterling for hit. labours;
the Greek Committee would not pay it down, but deposited the
sum in Sir FTWICiII liurtlett's hands, who is not to remit him any
part tof the money till he has arrived in the Grecian Sea.
See era! Journala, on the authorit, of a Paper which they never
think of swept wheu it has any false news to communicate, repeat
that letters, dated Titli aid Dith of June. from Constantinople, have
been received at Paris, which announce that that capital has been
s..t on lire.

Notwithstanding such respectable authorities, we affirm that no
I...ters from Constantinople have been received at Paris of a more
recent date than the 23d, and we believe that the pretended letter of
the Pat* may be placed among the inventions of this kind which
have ia'ely been made by the Coen ice Francais and the Coristitu-
',up.arl.

The Memotial hurilehlis announces that news Las been received
t:.rangh a channel which merits entire confidence, that in conse-
ydence of the war with Brazil, several French rands, with etni.
Frans en board, who were going to Fettle at Buenos Ayres, have

been stopped at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata, and carried into
Monte Video; that part of the passengers have been forced to land
at that town, and that the others did not succeed in reaching
Buenos Ayres till after experiencing much delay and many diffi-
culties. This state of things will continue so long as the war lasts
between Brazil and Buenos Ayres, the latter port being strictly
blockaded. _ _

The Pilots gives the same news from the Gazdir of Lyons,
which Inserts a letter stated to have been written on board his Ma-
jesty's brig Vilify-My (so the l'ilote writes it) off Monte Video,
the 4th of March last. .

The Chamber of Commerce at Marseilles has just published the
following Note:—
" The Chamber hastens to inform the merchants of this city of
the communication which it has received of the declaration made to
the Board of Health by Captain Bouffier, commanding the French
brig L'Liceellent, which left Smyrna on the 211th April, and arrived
in this port the 2d July. It results from it, that having touched at
Milo on the 11th May, M. de ltigny, commanding bis Majesty's
naval force in the Levant, had told him that nine Greek vessels had
been destroyed by the ships under his command, and that he
might give notice of it on his arrival at Marseilles.

" The Captain added, that according to the orders which M. de
Rigny had received, to be carried into effect from the 6.h May last,
every Greek armed vessel which t.liould be met with sailing alone,
should be captured, as the ships of that nation should be united in
divisions or squadrons."

PARIS, Jucy 17.

The Captains of some vessels, which arrived at St. St bastian on
the 2d of this month, relate that they were chrt,ttl on the coast of
Galicia by several Columbian privateer!, and that they owed their
escape to the greediness of the privateers, which descrying vessels
of larger burden, attached them. It seems that during the last ten
days, these corsairs had captured five or six Spanish vessels, two of
which came from Bayonne.

It will be seen by the letter of our Correspondent, that,
although no actual riot had taken place at Manchester, the
movements amongst the operatives were indicative of a po-
pular commotion. However, the best regulations seem to
have been 'adopted, both by the civil and military authori-
ties, to protect persona and property ; and any resistance
that it may be necessary to make to the efforts of the un-
fortunate weavers, should they, contrary to their own in-
terests, appear as disturbers of the public peace, will be as
mild as circumstances will admit of. The appointment of
Sir Jon?: Byes, as Commander of the troops in Man-
chester and its neiAhbourhood, who gained for himself the
esteem of all classes during the Luddite Riots in ISI I, is
another proof, if one were wanting, of the anxiety of his
Majesty's advisers to act with all the forbearance their duty
will allow of, towards the unhappy persons whose con-
duct renders every precaution necessary, at the saute
time that their condition is deplored by all their fellow-
subjects, and by none more so than by those who at
present hold the reins of government, as their anxiety
to relieve the distress in the manufacturing districts has
evinced in a variety of instances. But the evil is not to be
reached by the influence of Ministers, however sincerely
it may be applied. Time, and several circumstances over
which neither the King's acwants nor the Legislature can
have any control, can alone clear away the gloom that at pre-
sent hangs over the manufacturing population of the North.
A gentleman of great practical knowledge in the silk
trade, who left Macclesfield on Wednesday, assures us
that the market for silk goods is by no means overstocked,
and that capital alone is required to give comparative ac-
tivity to this branch of our manufactures. Notwithstand-
ing the respectability of the source from whence we derive
this information, we confess that we are a little sceptical
regarding its accuracy. Should it, however, be true, we
suspect that confidence, more than capital, is required to
give an impetus to the trade in question. There is one ex-
traordinary fact connected with the present depression, as
far as regards the iron manufacture, that whilst the artisans
of Birmingham are in the greatest distress for want of
employment, those of Sheffield are in full work, and con-
sequently contented and happy. We cannot close this
article without exhorting the unfortunate persona who
we are well aware are severely suffering, to reflect upon
the consequences of any hostile acts towards their em-
ployers. They not only in that case will paralyse the efforts
of those who can render them temporary assistance at least,
but they will compel the Government to take such steps as
must inevitably make their condition worse than it is at
present.

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

The Money Market to-day has presented a very gloomy
appearance ; Consols, which left off yesterday at 771, fell
in the course of the day to 76i, and finally closed at 76/ Z.
Many causes have been assigned for this depreciation, the
most prominent of which are, first, that a partial change
in the Administration is about to take place ; and, second,
that his Majesty's Government have determined to mcet
the evils under which the country labours by a tax on pro-
perty. These were the most prominent reports, and there-
fore, perhaps, those least entitled to credit. The real cause,
doubtless, is, that which all must acknowledge to be cause
sufficient, viz., the present deplorable condition of the trade
and commerce of the country,
• The hilarity which displayed itself yesterday on the Fo-
reign Stock Exchange, caused by the accounts received from
..Colombia, has to-day subsided into something like reflection,
and the consequence has been that Colombian Bonds have
receded to 3'4 33. Thearrival of the dividends, said to
be shipped on board the Lion, will be the only effectual
means of raising these Securities to anything like a stan-
dard quotation. Mexican are at Northern Stock
keeps up its price, and of which there is no super-
abundance.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts give ad-
ditional facts as to the paralyzed state of trade; every hour
adding to the load of misery, the burden of which is al-
ready of such melancholy pressure. It is asaetted;and
upon the most unexceptionable authority, that one of the
very largest silk-manufacturers in the neighbourhood of
the metropolis has found it necessary to communicate to
his Majesty's Government, that he has continued to em-
ploy his people in the manufacture of goods until his ca-
pital is absorbed, and that, as no market is to be found for
the large stock which he has accumulated, he has come t 3
the only determination left Him to adopt, which is, to dis-
charge this large body of persons, and to close his ma-
nufactories.

The accounts from the Continent arc of scarcely a bet-
ter description than those at home ; a settled gloom and
inactivity oppresses commerce in every quarter.

We feel it our duty again to call the attention of the
public to the case of the Spitalfields weavers, who are still,
we lamoit to say, in deep distress, notwithstanding the li-
beral subscriptions that have been entered into for their
relief. lVe are confident that this fact need only he stated
Ito induce the affluent again to render these industrious and
peaceable operatives assistance.
