LONDON, SATURDAY. Jur.t .9. INS.

The French papers which reached our office last night
are quite destitute of political interest, excepting with re-
gard to the Greek contest, and the accounts from that
quarter are irreconcilcably contradictory. There seems to
be no reason to doubt the burning of the Egyptian fleet by
Nltitucts, and it was reported that the army of laannim
PAeRA was subsequently attacked, and defeated with
great loss. The Turkish forces under REDSCHID PAOLA,
however, arc said to have advanced to Anatolico, in spite
of the opposition of the Greeks; whom they had repulsed
in every attempt to check them. We hear also of factious
dissentious among the Greek Chieftains ; but the people
are united and enthusiastic. We have no apprehension as
to the result of the campaign. It is not conceivable that
a nation under such circumstances can be subdued, after
defending their independence for four years, against an
enemy whose power necessarily declines with every fresh
effort and successive failure.

[From the Dail; dated Thursday, June 30.1
TMESTE, JUNE

Several Captains of ships which have arrived within these few
days from the lonian Islsnds, report now that the Greeks have
taken at sea a great number of Egyptian vessels or European
vessels, under the Ottoman flag. which were flying in all directions
front the coast of the Morea. The report gains ground, that the
Greek army tell upon that of Ibraltim on the 13th May, after the
bunting of his fleet. and that all that were not killed were made
prisoners. Ibrahim himself has disappeared.—Gazette of 'Az:-
burg.
ST. CLOUD, JUNE 29.
Yesterday her Royal !Incline's the Duchess of Berry set out at
eight o'clock in the neorning front the Thuileriea, to meet her
uncle the Prince of Salerno, who arrived at three o'clock in the
afternoon at Nettiley. lie had slept at Fontainbieau, as well as
the Duke of I trlcana. The Prince, during his stay at Paris, will
reside alternately at the Palate Royal, and at Neuilly.
PARIS, JUNE 2t.
We have just received n ewe from Grecea.the authenticity of which
we can warrant. The greatest impartiaray will be remarked in
them. We think that no muse can be served by concealing or
disfiguring facts. Our readers will find with what is favourable
and what is unfavourable to the Greeks in Jte campaign. Truth
is our greatest interest as well as our first diet!.
'these accounts state the sailing of the Egyptian fleet from
Suite, on the 29th of April ; its arrival at ribuoa on the Ist May,
without any thing serious than an action on the betige Navarino.
in which the Greeks had the advantage ofpushing four vessels
into Navarino, in spite of :he fire of the enemy, but without any
other malt ; and lastly the action of the 121 i May, the general
result of which is stated as in preceding anemias. It mentions,
the caviare of old Navarino by Ibrahim ; Its fortifying Splint.
tech", and taking several Greek secede in the prt. .

To the north of thoGnit of Lepanto, 12.0011 Albanians. under
Redsehid Pitch*, have advanced to Anatolie°, and reptilsed the
Greeks who opposed them. The lklusaulmans begin also to apreat
in force in the direction of Zeitouni to Saluna. This invasion of the
Greek provinces beyond the Isthmus has had an unfortunate result
' for the Mores. The Romellots in the pay of the Government of
Napoli immediately quitted the anny opposed to Ibrahim, am..
returned to defend their own homes.
Chevalier Rigny was at Napoli on the Gilt of May.
The victory of the Government over the faction of Colncotroni
and Nickita has not put an end to the divisions is the Morea. Two
new parties, those of Goleta sad Maurocordato, now oppose each
other. Alessrs. Gomba, Roche and Porto, agents for the Com-
mittee, London, Paris, and Germany, do their utmost to preach
union and prevent a rupture. The first also represents in Greece
Mr. Ricardo the banker, who supports his counsels with the threat
of not giving them any money. General Roche was at Scads with
Condurtotti at the beginning of the month. The 31oreotes always
divided according to their Chiefs, regret, some of them Coloco-
troni, others Pietro Bey; they do not like the supremacy of the'.
Isles.

The whole Austrian squadrOn was lately to proceed to Ntpoli
to exact reparation for all the insults to the subjects and ships of
that Power.

Notwid7standing so many unfavourable chances for the Greeks
in this campaign, they still confide in their stars, and seem to fear
nothing from all the forces of the Porte. The recent success of
their fire -ships before Motion increases the discouragement of the
Turks, and raises to the utmost the enthusiasm of the Greeks.
If Nsvarino were taken, Ibrahim might communicate through
Elis with Patras: the Greeks have to fear in the open field regular'
Egyptian troops; since a check before Navatino, the Greeks all
speak of the necessity of Introducing tactics among them.
A regular corps of 1.140 men is formed at Napoli, to guard the
Government and the treasury.
An invasion of the Altanians might be feared. The Porte ,
depends much on Redschid, and continues to make sacrifices to
enable him to be successful.
All was tranquil at Constantinople on the 2Gth of :Ray. No!
news had yet been received there of the Capitan Paet:a having'
quitted the Dardanelles to commence the campaign.

1V e have received the Brussels papers of Wednesday ;
their contents are of little interest. The manufactures
of the Netherlands are in a state of much greater ac-
tivity than they have been for a long time preceding. This
improvement is ascribed to the opening of the commercial
intercourse with South America. The plan for the
canalization of the Sambre from the frontiers to Landre cies
has been approved by the mixed Commission to which it
was referred for consideration. A rail-way i 3 also projected
between the Sambre and the Scheldt.

In consequence of an interview which some of the prin-
cipal merchants in the Russian wood trade had with Mr.
II s 'smote, the projected alteration in the mode of levying
tile duty on deals has been abandoned for the present.
It would be well, however, for the parties interested in
this trade not to reckon too confidently on the continuance
of the present system ; for so long as the anomaly remains
of charging timber imported in the log less duty than the
saute while imported as deals (and consequently in a manu-
facture 4 state), continual representations will, year after
year, be made on the subject to the Board of Trade;
with what effect time only vin decide.

iVe have frequently adverted to the merits of the Society
for promoting the enlargement and building of Churches
and (Maples, and we have considered it our duty to call
the attention of the friends of Christianity and the
Church to the very depressed state of its finances.
The subscriptions to the funds of this Society still a-
mount to a very inconsiderable sum, when it is considered
that the nature of the work in which it is engaged requires
very great pecuniary supplies; and it is unhapily too evi-
dent, that without additional and prompt support from the
public, the Society must stop short in the full career of its
usefulness, and leave undone that which every one who is
attached to the cause of true religion in the Church of
England must be compelled to acknowledge to be one of
the most desirable objects of benevolence in which he
could engage.
With a full desire to see so u 507,11 an Institution flour-
ish, we cannot forbear from taking -very opportunity of
calling the attention of the Public to demand for
' support.
Among our advertisemements in this day we flour,: the
result of a very valuable description of exertions: vz
among the Clergy, at the annual visitation of the Arch-
deacon of Dun II M. It reflects much credit, both upon
the Archdeacon and those Gentlemen who have subscribed,
and we would recommend such a course to be pursued ge-
nerally, with this addition, that the Clergy should excite
their more wealthy parishioners to contribute; for it is
well known that the personal calls upon the Clergy for
subscriptions are already too numerous for their very slen-
der means, especially among the Parochial Clergy.

The Times has discovere—r7seems, another proof of
the " moral debasement of the city," in the practice which
it states to prevail of "borrowing money on continuation,"
by persons who deal in shares, and who, buying more than
it is convenient for them to hold, borrow money upon the
seourity of the shares, to enable them to "continue" to
hold them, in the expectation that they will find their pro-
fit in doing se—for this is the meaning of the term " con-
tinuation." It seems, according to the Times, that per-
sons thus situatetl expose themselves to paying an exorbi-
tant rate of interest, and that this is contrary to law, and
to their own disadvantage. Mighty news this for the readers
of the Times ! What is the answer to this sudden affec_
tation of horror at stock-jobbing and money-lending on the
part of the Times ? Why, simply this, that if people
can make profit by buying shares, or any thing else, and
borrowing money upon them, they will do so—and if they
find they cannot, they will leave it alone. As to the rate
of interest being illegal, are not all the time bargains, as
they are called, of the Stock Exchange, thoroughly illegal ?
—and yet, is there a moment of the day in which such
bargains are not made within those imperial walls, where
no law is recognised but that of the august body who
inhabit it? What stupid hypocrisy is it, at this particular
moment, and to serve a particular object, to be affecting
to expose to the world as new, practices which have existed
during the whole of the lives of ihe present race of coin-
mercial men, and which, whether good or evil, indicate
no particular depression of commercial character at this
period more than at any other.

The Earl of LIVE drool., last night, called the attention of
the House of Lords to the state of the appellate jurisdiction.
The arrangements male two years ago, to facilitate the de-
spatch of business,have been attended with complete success.
At the commencement of the Session of Mt, there were
21.2 appeals pending, and 74 writs of error. At the close
of that Session, there retrained only 170 cases to be de-
cided. At the commencement of the present Session there
were 201 appeals pending, and VS writs of error, and there
now remain only 103 cases to be decided. Proceeding on
the same system, it may fairly be expected that at the
close of the next Session, the number of appeals will be
reduced to less than 30. The rapidity with which they
are now decided has had the effect of considerably les-
sening their number, and his Lordship recommended,
that with a view to prevent any inducement to appeal
for Ow purpose of delay, one day in every week shall
ii future he appoiniated to the decision of the came.
that may be brought before the /louse during the actual.
Session. The arrangements by which these beneficial re-
sults have been obtained have naturally given great twin]
faction, particularly to the people of Scotland. 'inte diffi-
culties at one time appeared almost insurmountable.; but,

happily they are now lik, !v 1.-moved, and the appel-
late jurisdiction restored to ti!,, .iry.t perfect and efficient
state.

The West India Company ltlll was read a third time
and passed. It now only aw,ui;s the Royal Assent. Earl
I nal 11CRST vindicated the measure from an attack made
upon it by Earl Gitosveson, two represented it as cal-
: culated to render the condition of the slaws worse instead
lof better. No objection can be more absurd than this.
I The design of the Bill is to render pecuniary assistance to
' the proprietors ; and unless it can be shown that by na-
lcreasing the poverty of the planter we increase his dispo-
sition and ability to treat his slaves more inelnigently, the
Company must be productive of very beneficial effects to
the slaves. They will share the prosperity of their master
in some shape, as in case of his decline they would as cer-
tainly suffer from his adversity.
In the House of Commons, the question of the Deccan
Prize Money was again brought under consideration, by a
Petition from several Officers of the Deccan Army, com-
plaining of the tnisrepicsentatiens respecting the imputed
delay of the Trustees. The Cu A NCECI OR of the ExenE.
I<toss also vindicated their conduct satisfactorily. Dr.
Le sit INCTON reiterated his former attacks upon them, and
I asserted, that the Petition had been got up for the occa-
sion—a statement which the Cnx F.I.foR of the E'en s-
(VIER immediately denied. Sir llExav llsnnixoa after-
wards commented, with great scvertity, and indignant
I warmth, on the coarse and abusive language which Dr.
LUSMINGToN had used towards the Duke of WlLListo-
i TON, on a former evening. The SPEAKER twice inter-
! fered on points of order, while the Hon. and Gallant
Member was speaking; and when he had concluded, an
I ineffectual endeavour was made to prevail upon him to mi-
tigate the force of his observations. The clay explanation
that Sit Ilsceav IhentriNna would offer was, that he was
not conscious of having uttered any offensiw: or unparlia-
mentary expression. Dr. LUSIIINGTON, however, dih
claimed the language which called forth the rebuke; and,
according to custom, the Reporters were made responsible
I for the fidelity whit which they had discharged their
duties.

In answer to a question from Mr. Banvonam, respect-
ing the military oc:upation of Spain, Mr. Secretary CA N.•
NING stated, that his MaJerry's Government have, from
time to time, received assurances that France has no inten-
tion of continuing the military occupation of Spain, nor of
retaining any of the Spanish fortresses permanently. It
appears that the late reduction of the number of French
troops its the Peninsula took place in consequence of an
application from the British Government. The Right
Honourable Gentleman added, that, in his opinion, there
was no occasion for alarm or jealousy with regard ti; this
subject. Ile believed that the French Government were
quite as desirous to get their troops out of Spain as we
could be. There can be no doubt that this is the case.
Never was success more troublesome in its consequences
than the last invasion of Spain.
Mr. BARING, after Mr. CANNING had left the House,
asked why one of the Ministers from the new American
States had not been presented at Court? He intimated
sonic apprehension that the Great Powers of the Continent
hail succeeded in inducing England to swerve from the
course she had resolved to follow with respect to South
America. He also suggested the repeal of the Foreign
Enlistment Bill. Mr. Secretary PEEL felt himself unable,
in the absence of his Right Hon. Friend, to offer any
explanation of the circumstance to which Mr. BARING,
alluded, but he could assure that gentleman that it was not
the intention of his MAJESTY'S Ministers to alter their
policy towards South America. As to the Foreign Enlist-
ment Bill, he left it to Mr. BARING to move its repeal if he
thought fit, though the Right Hon. Secretary was himself
decidedly of opinion that the principle of that measure was
just.
The House of Commons is adjourned till Tileaday, and
on Wednesday Parliament will be prorogued.

CITY, FRIDAY EVERwa.

The business in the British Stock market was very limited but
the prices quite steady. Consols for the opening, at the early p►t
of the day, were done at 914 I, and closed at j The Reduced
Annuities were 901 j I.
The same remark will apply to the Foreign market ; the transac-
tions there also being few, but the quotations indicating firmness.
zminisli Securities were the same as yesterday ; the Old Bonds
21 j t, and the new lfij 17. Greek Scrip continued to suffer under
the del-ession of yesterday ; its price was 12j 111 discount.
The appwirance of South American Securities fully justifies she
expectation of a improvement in them. Colombian Bonds were
884, and Alexicin scrip 91 2 discount. Brazilian Scrip was
discount, and Danish ditto 341 discount.
The Share market was withoat variation. Anglo.Mexlcan
Shores were 85, 00, those of the United Mexican Company 27, 9.
Pasco Peruvian Shares 144. The new Potosi Company's Shares
el 7, and the General Mining Shires 104 l 1 4.
The prices of Coffee. Rum, and Sugar, were exceedingly firm
this morning.

The Times of yesterday in republishing the treaty with
Colombia falls into the error of terming it a "treaty of
alliance, commerce, and navigation." The Spanish word
used in the treaty is "amistad," which merely signifies
amity, as we had it translated in our version o' the treaty
on Thursday. If the Times had contented itself with co-
pying our version, as exactly as it copies so many of our
articles daily, this blunder would have been avoided.
A letter from /,ante, dazed May 20, says it was on the

The late Berlin wool fair has been very satisfactory to
the land-owntrs. The middle sorts were most in demand
and sold at 20 to 25 dollars per stone—that is from 5 to 10
per cont. more than last year. Privy Councillor Thaer,
who it is well known brings the choicest wool to market,
obtained 43 dollars per stone; last year he obtained 33
dollars. The inferior wool also sold at good prices, and-
even the refuse (eusel:nu) sold -at nine dollars per sync.
It is a proof of the improving condition of the Prussian wool-
. len manufactories, that all the middle and much of the tine
wools were bought .by Prussian and Saxon manufacturers.
[ who gave higher prices than the English chose to air :
' the latter on the other hand, made large purchases of tine
wool. One reason that the prices keep up is, that there
were 40,000 stone Tess brought to market this year than
[ the last, because great quantities had already been sold at
Stettin.—Hamburgk Paper.
