The Greek people are at this moment ardently expecting
the arrival of Lord Coen is NI. : his name alone will be a
host to their cause, and the fears even of the moat despair-
ing will be dis7.ipatest why a this Naval Hero has once
joitsed the standard of their independence.

At a late hour last night we received Wie,hington and
Philadelphia Papers, the first to the 19th and the latter to
the 21st ult. The most important matter contained in
them is the Message of the PRFSIDENT to Congress on the
object/ of the Panama Mission, of which we give an ab-
stract, taking away only those portions which, to use aa
American word, are rather too lengthy. The new Nest-
DENT seems to lecture the Congress somewhat in the tone
of out Queen Bess to her house of Congress. We beg,
however, to call the attention of our readers to this docu-
ment, which, in the present relative state of European and
American politics, seems to us of some importance. The
House of Representatives appears to be occupied in dis-
cussing some resolutions proposed by Mr. Nl`nurrir, of
South Carolina, for an amendment of the Constitution, as
far as regards the elections of the PRESIDENT and Vice-
PRESIDENT, with a view to make the elections entirely
popular, and to prevent them from being decided by Con-
gress, as was the case at the last contest between General
Jacssort and Mr. ADANS.

CITY, SATURDAY EVEWIXQ.

This was a day entirely without interest on the Stock
Exchanges, and not a shallow of a report was in circula-
tion. Consols opened at 794, and left off at 4, but the
business was so limited that it was not worth reporting.
The Foreign Market has been entirely neglected. Mexican
Six per Cents. were reported at 624 ; Colombian Bonds at
434 44; and Greek ditto at yesterday's quotation, 144 15;
Russian Stock was quoted at 79, and Peruvian Bonds at
VS to V 6, but no transactions took place in them.
The following printed notice or circular was transmitted
by Ministers to the Bank, and from the Bank to the Stock
Exchange:—

" Treasury Chambers, April 14,.111213.

" In eeneequence of the serious apprehension expressed by many
respectable bankers of the effect of theattempts which may be made
en Monday next to secure a subscription of Exchequer Bills at the
Bank of England, it has been determined by Lord Liverpool and
the Chancellor of the Exchequer that, in lieu of the mode hereto-
fore adopted for receiving the subscriptions, the parties intending
to subscribe should deliver sealed letters at the Bank of England
un Monday. from nine o'clock in the morning until one o'clock,
rot., specifying the stints for which thy, intend to subscribe,
accompanied by sealed parcels, containing in Exchequer Bills or
money a deposit of ten per centum on such subscriptioo ; and that
at one o'clock, or as soon after as possible, on Monday, the Bank
should declare the total amount proposed to be subscribed for,
allotting to each party, in case the whole of the subscriptions should
not exceed the amount of eight millions, the whole suns which he
may have offered to sohscribe t and in case the whole amount
offered to be subscribed should exceed eight millions, then such
proportion only of the MIT tendered by him as the sum of eight
millions may bear to the whole sum offered to be subscribed,
retaining, in such case, the deposit of ten per cent. only upon such
amount. _

" In the event of the whole um not being subscribed on Mon.
day the 17th, then the salon course to be mimed on Tuesday the
18th, and also on tVetines-tay the 19th, if necessary, with respect
to the sum remaining to be subscribed to complete the sum of eight

The Cabinet Council which wu held yesterday afternoon
at the Foreign Office, did not mumble, as was reported, in
consequence of the arrival of despatches by Mr. Kraus,
from Constantinople; orders, we understand, having been
given on Friday evening, for summoning the Cabinet
Council yesterday at two o'clock. The Council continued
in deliberation till half-past four. All the members of the
('enncil, with the exception of the Duke of Wellington,
were present.
On Saturday morning. at half post ten o'clock, the Lords
of his blaiesty s Most Honourable Privy Council assem-
bled at the Council Office, Whitehall-place, to hear and
determine French appeals. The Lords present were, the
Lord President of the Council, the Judge of the Admiralty
Court, the Judge of the Arches Court, the Muter of the
Rolls, and Lord Colchester. The appeal which princi-
pally occupied their Lordship's attention wu that of
George Keith and Co., who were residents in Ostend in
the year 1794, when the French army took possession of it,
and continued there till the year 1796, when Ostend became
part of the dominions of France. The value of the pro-
perty which is the subject of appeal amounts to 773,000
litres. The King's Advocate, Mr. Fonblanque, and two
other barristers, were heard by their Lordships upon the
appeal.
On Saturday evening, about seven o'clock, Mr. Kraus,
the King's Messenger, arrived at the Foreign Office, I)own-
ing-street, with despatches from die Right lion. Stratford
Canning, our Ambassador at Constantinople. Mr. Kraus
also brought despatches from the Right Hon. Henry Wel-
leiley, the British Ambassador at Vienna, dated up to the
6th instant.

Mr. Kraus attended Mr. Stratford Canning from Eng-
land to Constantinople, in the Revenge, 74 gun ship. Thty
had a very perilous voyage, particularly in the Archipe-
lago, where they saw a frigate sink. They had only ar-
rived three days in Constantinople when his Excaleucy,
Mr. Stratford Canning, sent off the despatches brought by
Mr. Kraus.

Mr. Crotch, the King's Messenger, was sent off on
Friday evening with despatches for the Right Hon. Frede-
rick Lamb, our Ambassador at Madrid.

The following extract is from a letter received by the
last packet from Monte Video:—
" MONTE VIDEO. Jax. 110.-11 have lately passed through
fie Brazilian and the Patriotic and Buenos Ayrian eneimpments.
The Patriots have bad WlTleseccesses ; they have cut off the corn.
!minimums between the Brazilian encampment and Monte Video ;
tile former is about four league from the town. About three weeks
since. COY of the Brazilian troops deserted the cause of the Em.
ror and joined the Patriots, on the Brazilian frontier. The
Brailian naval force here constms of three corvettes, three brigs,
three schooners, and two gun-brigs. The Buenos Arrian force is
one corvette, two brigs, one schooner, and thirteen gun.brigs. The
Brazdians do cot show much heart in the war. The Briton, Sir
M. Maxwell. is daily expected here from Valparaiso, and will pro-
ceed direct foe England. The IVellesley, 74 (Sir George Eyre), is
lytng bees."
The following is an extract from a letter dated Ilermn-
els, February lo.—The Royal Oak is arrived with General
Sir H. Turner, our new governor, family, and suite, after
thirty-six days passage from Spithead. The Dromedary
is also arrived, with four hundred convicts, to be employed
in improving this naval port. The station has been very
dull this winter: the English mail of December, arrived
only yesterday. We have here, besides the Jupiter (flag-
Ship), the Niemen, Orestes, Doterell, and Clinker; the
Menai. is wintering at Halifax; Grasshopper, at New-
foundland; the Rifleman is daily expected from Halifax.
The squadron in very healthy.
Peatstragrute Pallortaata.—EsTrythingconnected with
the classic regions of Greece, once the cradle of genius and
the nurse of science, must naturally excite a feeling of deep
interest; but the present awful situation of that unfortu-
trite country, when its existence as a separate nation, or
us complete subjugation to the power of the 'Crescent, has
become a question of painful anxiety, renders every circum-
stance connected with it of paramount interest. The
Panorama now exhibiting at 70, Great St. Martin's-lane,
descriptive of the defeat of the Turks by the Greeks, is
eminently calculated to awaken the sympathies of a gene-
rous nation in favour of those whose ancestors fought at
Marathon and Thermopyle, and whose gallant but'
hithato unsucceessful struggles for liberty and indepen-
dence prove that " the olden spirit," which impelled the
tires ro resist and ultimately defeat the mighty hosts of
Persia. is not quite exti.set in their sons. One of the pa-
noramic views of the Council Chamber of the renowned
Ali Pacha is painted by a Greek artist named Agna.sti-
nous. It is executed in a showy style, but evinces consi-
derable power and richness of colouring. The other views
are finished with more care than is always discernible in
the painting of a moving panorama. The most studied
attention to costume, too, is preserved in all the views, and
corms a distinguishing feature, which, joined with the
41virl description of the mode of warfare pursued by the
4:reeks, renders this exhibition in every way worthy of
public attention.
