LONDON, TUESDAY, Arm It, Ms.

We find the contents of the Paris Papers of Saturday
not much more interesting than they have been for several
previous Lays. The Chamber of Deputies was occupied
on Friday with the r.port of Petitions, none of which are
worthy of notice on this side of the Channel. From the
Etoile we have extracted some intelligence communicated
by its private correspondent at Constantinople. The
state of that city seems not to be in the alightest degree im-
proved. The insubordination of the Janissaries paralyses
the Ottoman Government, while the Greeks capture its
vessels under the guns of the Turkish forts. Every symp-
tom indicates the conscious feebleness of the Divan. Ar_
rests take place daily on some pretence or other ; but no
attempt is made to recluce the mutinous soldiery to
obedience, though st.tne of their officer have been removed
by poson. The Coin has disappeared from circulation,
and it is vainly hoped to bring it back by denouncing the
most terrible penalti<s. against those who conceal or export
it.. If the surrender of Petra' have not acttally occurred,
there can be no doubt that terms of capitulation have been
• proposed, and that the place catuot hold out long. It was
reported that the Castle of Lepanto had already fallen.

Prince MET TEXN!CII, it is stated, haves Paris on Satur-
day for Naistilirs.

The Etaile states the eubstance of the official news from
Peru, relative to ti.e defeat of the Spaniards, from the
English Papal. "We do not think, however," it says,
" supposing the news true, that the misfortune is without
r.metly. It depenas on the firmness of the Spanish

r.c'on."

The Monitekr of Saturday contains a Royal Ordinance,
determining the stion of certain additional cent;rte3
to the land tax ordered to be levied by the Law of Finance
of August 4, 1.924. TLirtccn columns of the non-official
part are filled with the Report of M. PORTALIS on the

-In the Colomb;.m Papers, lately received, we observe
that great irritai;ini had b.:eta caused by a declaration made
by the LORD CHANCELLGr. in his judicial capacity. in
the count: of some argument in Chancery, his Lordship
thought fit to observe, that " he kue.ffl no such Republic as
that of Colombia. ' This broad and positive denial of the
political existence of the new State was uttered under cir-
cumstsnces which eertaii.ly to fo:eigners would not seem
to have called for .t. Tu their judgments the tone would
not appear to be th:.: of a Judge, aituply stating that he
cirzli not recoguise an authority which the Government
had not as yet formally a.,dtnowledged. To them it would
sat,ser tlie :ore o: a political adversary, who availed
4 Mvimiahle opportunity to strike acct.
It :a is regietti I that public ofEceri, Judgez cape- II

daily, should not avoid the use of those indiscreet
expressions, which are calculated, as in this instance, to
produce very extensively evil impended abroad. The Load
Cuancau.oa usually• accompanies the statement of his
propositions with all the limitations with which it is proper
or necessary to qualify them ; and it is therefore the more
I remarkable that at such a moment, when the question of
recognition was in fact almost decided in the Cabinet, and
when Consuls and Commissioners had been actually
despatched to the Authorities of the new States, he should
deem it advisable to deny the existence of the Republic of
Colombia, in terms as express and clear as those in which
he.would have spoken of the pretended State of Poyais.
As the LORD CHANCELLOR was understood to have been
opposed to the recognition of the new American Republics,
it had, besides, the unfortunate appearance of a Judge
mixing up his particular opinions with his duties on the
Bench, and making them form part of his administration
of justice.

CITY, ?downs:7 EVENING.
Although the holidays are now over there is but little
business still doing in the Stock Exchange. To-morrow
is settling day in Consols. and they are drooping. They
were this morning done for money at 93i 4, and for the
Account 931.
I'ite Foreign Market was also extremely languid, and
the prices very generally on the decline. The cause of the
heaviness is ascribed to the large instalments payable this
week on foreign loans; the amount is estimated at a million
and a half, in addition to the payment for new Companies,
which is also considerable. Ihe following are the pay-
ments to be made on foreign loans :
Greek Scrip and Mexican Scrip 10 per cent: New
Brazils 10 per cent. Old ditto 10 per cent. Danish
15 per cent. The old Spanish Bonds were done at 231 i ;
and the new at 184, which is a shade worse than our last
quotation of them. South American Securities were also
depressed. Colombian Bonds were at 899 90; and
Mexican Scrip at 1 i. Brazilian Scrip was 21 • and
-Danish ditto 21 discount. There was a good deal
in Greek Scrip-50,0001. were bought at 43, and the same
amount sold at 5. The buyers of this Scrip to-day were
of the first respectability; everything looks well as to its
ultimate improvement.
The Share Market was also dull. There was a little doing'
in Pasco, at 131. There was also some bustle in the Rio
de la Plata Agricultural Company's Shares, which went off
briskly at 51.
The Irish Manufacturing Company came out to-day ;
the business in it had scarcely commenced before the close
of the market, but Shares were sold at 1 premium. '
The Imperial Plate Glass Company rose suddenly to 2
premium, and is expected to go much higher. A fa-
vourable opinion is now entertained in the market of this
undertaking.
There was nothing doing this morning in Mincing-lane.
'To-morrow probably there will be great activity in the
Colonial Market.

The merchants trading to Jamaica and Colombia were
thrown into a state of great alarm yesterday, by the fol-
lowing letter, received from Jamaica, dated Feb. 21 :
" A vessel has arrived at Jamaica. from Carthagena, which
sailed nine days after the packet. The latter having, it is sup-
posed, 100,0001. on board, it is feared has been taken by pirates,
as twenty-four bodies have been washed on shore at Congos with-
out their beads."

The Turks say that the troubles in Servia are appeased. They
attribute them to the project of the Pacha of Belgrade. to put a
Turkish garrison into Toprak-Kalb. a fort in which the Serviette
had stipulated they should have a garrison. The Pacha sent repre-
sentations to the Government In support of his pretensions, which
bare not been attended to.
All the bankers in the capital have been summoned to-day to the
Mint, to hear a &man read, the infraction of which. by the Re) as,
will be punished with death, and by the Franks with banishment
from the Ottoman Empire.
MARCH 3.

The orders concerning the coin are more rigorous than ever. The
Armenian Patriarch was obliged to publish them yesterday, in the
principal quarters where his countrymen reside.
It is said that the garrison of Purse is reduced to such distress,
that it has proposed to capitulate, offering to divide all the wealth
in the place into three parts, one for the inhabitants, one for the
Pacha and his troops, and the third for the Greeks. The latter
have rejected these proposals, and the siege continues. Some per-
sons say that the Castle of Lepanto has surrendered, and that if
this is true, Patras will soon be obliged to submit to the con.
micron' terms.
It is said that Resehid Mehemet Pacha, Commander.in-Chief
of the army against the Mores, has written to the Government
to request that it will not place under his command any Pacha of
three tails; because, they being of equal rank with himself, he
cannot exercise any control over them. He desires that all the
Visirs already in his army may be recalled, and their places filled
by Pachas of two tails, or other inferior officers.
The Pacha of Egypt has required that the Capitan Pacha shall
not go to sea this year, because there could not be two Admirals at
sea at once. This demand seems less admissible than that of the
Comeriander-in.Chref, and the fiesta of Ibrahim Pacha and Ale.
hemet Kboarew, may have very different destinations, as was the
case last year. It has been esid besides, that Khosrew Puha is to
make another expedition against Samos.
The Porte caused an orta to be executed five days ago, another
three days ago, and it said that a mnteveili (a commisary of that
corps) has been poisoned by superior orders. A certain number of
officers is spoken of, whose fate is uncertain, and their lives in
danger. These condemnations, or rather these executions, the
cause of which is not made known by the Government, sufficiently
prove the agitation and insubordination of the Janissaries. It has
hem remarked that their Aga has avoided, for the last two Wednert.
days, coming to preside in the Council usually held on that day,
doubtless to avoid the responsibility which would attach to him as
their Chief, for the resolutions that might be taker.
To the preceding details, which we have received from cur own
I correspondent, we add the following, front the Aug:burgh
Gazette:—

CONSTANTINOPLE. MARCH 10.
It has been currently reported for some days that Patras has sur.
rendered to the Greeks. The letters from Smyrna also give this
news, and add, that Ibrahim Paeha, as soon as he heard of it,
sailed with his whole fleet for Alexandria. 'We must, bor-ever,
wait for the confirmation of all these accounts.

All Levant produce is rising in price, in consequence of the pur-
chases made by the English.
__ _ . TRIESTE, MARCH 2.

Letters from Hydra of the 15th inst. say that Lolocotroni is con-
Ened in the monastery of St. Eliu. The preparatory proceedings
for his trial are carried on with great activity.
On the 13th .March nothing certain was known at Corfu or Zante
respecting the taking of Patras.

Prince Ai etternich sets out on the lfith for 31arseilles, where he
will embark fer Genoa, and from that city proceed to 31ilan. His
son accompanies him, and his two daughters will set out to-mor-

Great consternation was caused at Naples on the 17th, by a re-
port that the lightning bad struck the Palace of Caserta. In fact it
did strike into the apartments above that in which his Majesty was
writing ; but he did not evince any alarm, though the shock. was
=lent.

DRURY-T-4NE THEATRE

Mr. Macready made his first appearance at this Theatre
last night since his indisposition, in the character of Ra-
mon!, in Massinger's revived play of the Fatal Do, rzi. On
his entrance he was welcomed by a crowded audience with
long and repeated bursts of applause, which must have
convinced him that his temporary absence from the stage
has rather added to than diminished his popularity. We
regretted to find that the health of Mr. Marready is not
altogether restored; he looked very pale, and appeared to
be labouring under considerable weakness. But although
his voice was more tremulous and his step less firm than
heretofore, the extraordinary powers of the actor were un-
impaired, and he had those frequent but silent testimonials
to his merit which are far better tributes than the loudest
plaudits, and which must have been so many proofs that
the energies of the mind can triumph over the weaknesses
of the body.
