FRIDAY EYRXIXO.

. anticipation paints evils in
darker colours than in reality they afterwards present
themselves. This was the case to-day on the Stock Ex-
changes, for although the settling day in the Foreign
Market produced great anxiety, and brought with it no
inconsiderable portion of evil, still the forebodings respecting
it, for several days, very far surpassed the mischievous
effects of the account, as far, at least, as they have yet been
made public, and as far, as we are enabled to judge from
private sources of information. Consols, as might be ex-
pected, were a matter of minor consideration to-day ; the
business in them was limited, and the price fluctuated be-
tween 871 and SBl. They left off at 1.
The transactions in the Foreign Market were almost ex-
clusively confined to the arrangement of balances, in which
operation one defaulter, and we understand to a large
amount, was declared. His differences, we believe, were
chiefly in Spanish and Greek Securities, particularly in the
former. When it is recollected that Greek Scrip during
this account has varied above 8 per cent. and Spanish
Bonds above 4 per cent. together with the fluctuations in
South American Securities, serious embarrassment must be
felt by many who are enabled to weather the storm ; but
still we may state, we think, with accuracy, that the day
has passed off much better than was expected, and prices
have been by no means depressed so much as was looked
for. Spanish Bonds drooped more than any other Stock in
the Market. The Old retrograded to 16117, and the New
to 13k. All the other is:vitrifies maintained themselves at
yesterday's quotations, which shows a degree of firmness
that could scarcely be expected this morning.
The Sugar Market was in a very sound state; a fair
business was doing at full prices.
A large supply of all kind of grain, particularly Oats,
both English and Irish,. made the Corn Market rather
heavy.
In consequence of the low price of Cotton, the spinners
are coming into the Market and buying rather freely.

The last accounts from Spain state, that Corunna, Ell-
boa, and Burgos have been the scene of new arrests, and
in Madrid the number of persons arrested is very consider-
able ; among them is, N. Urbistondo, a young royalist
officer, who had formed a strong party; and Dun Juan
Lopez, the Viscount de la '!:errs• M. Gonzales, and
M. Mugu's, personal friends of Don Carlos, have been
banished.

A letter from Madrid of the 19th inst. states, that M.
Tassin had arrired in that capital, and had made proposi-
tions, on the part of certain French bankers, for a loan to
the Spanish Government. The names mentioned as the
principal parties to the proposed contract ■re, MM.
Baguenault and Co., Rougemont de Loewenberg, Bas-
terreche and Co., Oatrequin and Jauge ; but it is said
that there are twenty other houses who are interested,
though they have not placed their signatures to the
propositions. 'file terms which they offer ate a suffi-
cient proof that a contract founded on them cannot be
negotiated. They propose to undertake the loan on com-
mission, and that its amoimt shall be the moderate
sum of 24,000,000/. sterling, in five per cent. stock, with
the interest payable in Paris, at the rate of 63 per cent.
This stock is to be irredeemable, and the contractors require
that the produce of the tobacco duty, and of the customs
generally, shall be pledged for the payment of the interest,
and for the sinking fund. The Paris bankers claim a 6
per cent. commission on the loan, and offer an immediate
advance of 2,000,000!. sterling. No mention is made of
the bonds of the Cortes, nor of the Dutch debt. M. Tag-
sin, says the Madrid letter, was to have an interview with
the King on the folkwing day.—Mr)rurrur Parer.
Extract of a letter from Ferral, dated Sept. 10:—The
expedition destined for the Havannah will sail on the 15th
or 310th inst. 'lt carries about 3,000 men. They were put
on board in the most secret manner, principally by priests
and monks, with a threat that if they refused, they would
be punished with death. It is thought that when they
are at sea a mutiny will take place amongst diem, as most
of the troops have been raised by force. It is reported
that at Grenada, Tarifa, and Tortosa, the Carlista are
committing the greatest excesses against the Constitution-
alists.

Letters were yesterday received from Rio Janeiro, to the
6th August; nothing new has transpired from Upper Peru
or Buenos Ayres; the local news is rather unpleasant.
Sir Charles Stuart continued his negotiations, but the re-
ports, as to his success, were very unfavourable.
The following Decree, respecting Lord Cochrane, ap-
pears in the Diario Fletninense of Rio Janeiro, of the 7th
July last•—
' His Majesty the Emperor orders, through the Se:retnry of
State for the Marine Department, that the High Admiral, Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Naval Forces of this Empire. shall Mime.
diately, on receipt of this Decree, repair to this port, leaving in the
Province of Maranhao the small craft only which arc now there,
for the support of the Government or.d the security of the Province.

Pc. Ml.—Many of the Lima Papers to the middle of June
are filled with decrees for the melioration of the abases
which have prevailed during the warfare in Peru, and for
bettering the condition of the people. Several small towns
and villages, which were supposed to be warmly attached
to the royalist cause, had declared for the independence,
and it was fully believed that the royalist faction would
soon be completely destroyed, although it might be neces-
sary to shed the blood of several priests who were going
about the country inciting the inhabitants to rebellion.
The Government Gazette contains a long diary of the mili-
tary operations of the besieging army before Callao, during
the month of April, and part of the month of May. It
appears from this, that the Bolivar battery had kept up a
dashing fire upon the fortress, with considerable effect
The Governor, Rodil, having bad his terms for an armis-
tice rejected, had however resisted the attacks with all the
desperation of an outlawed pirate, and had put to the
sword several of his best soldiers, who had attempted to
escape to the patriots.
A patriot writer in Buenos Ayres traces the commence-
ment
of the revolutionary spirit among the South Ameri-
cans, a century ago, viz. as far back as the yeas 1725, when
a rebellion of some magnitude and duration took place in
Paraguay, and democratic principles were not only avowed
in defiance of the Jesuits and Spanish authorities, but
ostensibly acted upon by pdrt of the inhabitants, with tem-
porary success..

Singapore Chronicles have been received to the let of
April. They contain very important intelligence from
Siam. Heretofore the Burman Emperor had treated the
Siamese with great insolence, and, indeed, subsequently to
1822, he had carried on a sort of desultory warfare on their
frontiers; but the British invasion caused him to alter his
tone wonderfully towards the Siamese. He wrote a letter'
himself to the King of Siam, offering him to repair in
person to Bangkok, for the purpose of being present at
the funeral obsequies of the late Siamese Monarch, and
he coupled this complimentary proposal with a request that
the King of Siam would join forces with him against the
English. It is asserted that this communication, for a
time, staggered the Siamese; but in the meanwhile they
learnt the capture, by our forces, of Tavoy, Mergui, and
Miamian, places not far distant from their own territory ;
and they wisely determined rather to join the conquerors
titan the conquered. The result was the Embassy, which
we learn, by the last accounts from Rangoon, had reached
that place, and which was reciprocated by sending an
English officer to Siam. The Siamese have the character
of being much more weak and effeminate than the Bur-
mans; but yet their co-operation against the latter cannot
but operate very beneficially towards the progress of the
British arm,.
The Singapore Papers state, that the island of Banes,
which we ceded to the Dutch in 1815, has teen nothing
but a source of loss and embarrassment to its new owners,
and that it has been lately visited by a fatal epidemic, which
has carried off great numbers of Europeans, as well as of
the native population.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East
India Ilouse, when Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas
Bradford, K.C.B. was sworn in as Commander-in-Chief
of the Company's Fours, and Second Member in Council
at Bombay.

THE GfIEEES.
NAPOLI Dr RoXAXIA, Aco. 25.
As the J•itirnala of Vienna and Etnyrna continnally ca-
inundate the Greek navy, accusing it of impeding neutral
merchant vessels, we here communicate to you an official
document, which will,let you into the true charaetes of
certain pretended neutrals, and particularly the Austrians.
They arc nothing less than Turkish auxiliaries, furnished
with false papers:—
PROt'ISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF GREECE.

TIITeECILETART or STATt TO TAKE COMMANDER Or 1111
IDIVETIAL MAJESTY'S AND APOSTOLIC XING'S VESSEL

Tieg ORION.
When Colonel d'Aecurti. Commandant of the squadron of
his Majesty the Emperor and Ktog, in the Levant, was nt anchor
in this road with the Delions, betook under his protection. against
all right and usage, two merchant reliefs, carrying his Imperial
Majesty's flag, which, loaded with provisions belonging to the
Ottoman Porte and bound for places in the possession of that
power, were taken by two Greek ewes of war, rind brought in here
to be regularly examined by the tribunal established for that rim
pose. The Provisional Government, by its protest in the note of
the 2,1 (13th) of May, against similar proceedings of so equivocal • ,
natttre, did not fail to assert its rights.
When Colonel d'Acearti quitted this toad, he repated the
same act of violence at the harbour of the Isle of Sperria, by using
fore* to carry off another ship, whose papers, which are to loe seen
at the office of the Plias Court, evidently prove its destination to
have been Peeress. and give a direct contradiction to its feigned
papers. Colonel d'Aeeurti declared, at the came time, that he
would deliver, without exception, every Austrian merchant vessel
which might be taken by the Greek misers, to whom he thus for-
bad the tight of search.
In thus preventing, against all right and reason, the legal els-
mioation of papers and cargoes, he authorizes the flag of his Im-
perial !Majesty to protect munitions of war which it may be neces-
sary to have transported to the enemy. Notwithstanding this, the
Provisional ;Government were firmly persuaded, until now, that
the Commandant of his Majesty's squadron, after thus violating
the most sacred rights of neutrality, would at least have let the
vessels proceed to their destination at their own risk ; but it is with
the greatest pain they have just learnt, by the offizial despatches of
Admiral Miaulis, that Colonel d'Accurti was pl:ased, with the
to convoy these vessels to the port of Sudo, where the ene-
my's fleet is assembled ; whence, pethaps, it will again please
him to convoy them to Nous, their true destination.
If a vessel of war of any nation whatever, professing to be
neutral, openly protects and undertakes to convoy merchant vessels
loaded with munitions of war and provisions for the enemy, that
alone is an infraction of the neutrality, and the said vessel begins
to act in a manner no longer equivocal.
The Provisional Government, having an unshaken confidence in
the justice and clemency of his Imperial Majesty and Apostolic
King, who has deigned to proclaim a strict neutrality during the
present Struggle between Greece and the Porte ; and firmly per-
suaded that the conduct of Colonel d'Accurti cannot be conform-
able to the instructions which he has received from his august
Government, solemnly protests against his proceedings, by which
he has trampled under foot the most sacred laws of neutrality.
The undersigned therefore addressee these presents to the Corn-
mender of the Orion, informing him, that as he belongs to the aqua.
drop of Commodore d'Aceurti, who has openly committed an act
of hostility, and having probably received his instructions for the
same purrose, the Provisional Government cannot but see with
inquietude his presence in this port, and begs to decline any re-
lation or communication with him until satisfactory explanations of
Colonel d'Accurti's conduct shall have been received. Against his
conduct the government have thought it their duty to make the
most fortnal complaints of his Imperial Majesty's and Apostolic
King's conduct.
