They write from Smyrna, under the date of the 6th August,
that the state of the Mores afforded grounds for increased uneaai.
ness. Demetrius Ypsilanti had fled from Tripolina, where we
had been led to consider him a conqueror. All the accounts which
arrive from this unhappy country concur in representing the
Greeks as divided among themselves, and in a wotse situation than
they had cm been since the commencetnent of the war. Ibrahim

MADRID, Are. 25.

The revolt of tlessieres was naturally expected to have an in.
fluence on the ministerial destinies of M. Calomarde. accordingly
hit dismissal is not only talked of, bat it is even asserted that that
Minister, against whom it is said proceedings are already Matt.
tututed, will be brought to judgment.

Numerous arrests have taken place during the nights of the 22d
and 23d. Among the prisoners may be noticed the Marquis of Car-
denas, a grandee of Spain; the Canon Roses, a Councillor Of
State; the Abbe Mole, honorary chaplain to the King ; and the
Canon Sulsa, Director of the Lady Canoness of Saint James.
Other persons belonging to the first classes of society are spoken of
as having been arrested.

The police has not confined its disc-orates merely to those libel
have directly or indirectly shared in Bessierea' enterprise; they
hare besides got possession of the funds, which were to foment
the insurrection and maintain the insurgents. In the two cathe-
drals of Cuenca and Placentia alone, 'ft is asserted that they have
seises milliom of reels (about 80,00014 so that if similar disco-
veries are Made in all the cathedrals of the kingdom, Bessieres'
insurrection will have come in the nick of time to give our finances
a little breathing. When the police discovered these sums at PlA-
cencia, eight Canons of the Chapter of that Cathedral were ar•
rested.
It is the commander of a squadron named Albuin, to whom the
pursuit of Bessieres has been most particularly confided. lie is
well acquainted with all the roads which traverse the mountains of
Cuenca, where, for several years during the war of Independence,
he commanded a band of partisans.
It has just been made known, that the persons whose arrest is
mentioned above hare not been placed in the prisons of Madrid,
but have been conducted by the Police to different places of con.
finement in the provillem
Since yesterday it has been reported that General Mina had re-
turned from London to Gibraltar, where he was to take the corn-
mand of an expedition composed of Colombian corsairs, intended
to attack Port Mahon.

CITY, WEDNESGAY EVENING.

•
Consols opened under a slight reaction, 87j 88, from last
night's improvement, as the latter qirotations of yesterday
rather indicated; but they soon recovered from it, and at
one time they reached 881, buyers ; their closing price was
881 f. Exchequer Bills were Ss. Ss. prem. There was
fair business doing in the Market, but it was not a day of
extensive demand, and was less marked by any particular
feature than any day during or since the panic. Money
Was rather more plentiful than even it was yesterday, and
every thing seems to prove that the alarm respecting the
scarcity of money is ceasing. The Exchanges were a little
better yesterday, and this trifling amendment has produced
a lively
.sensation, as well informed persons think that the
present is only the commencement of improvement, and
that the exchanges will shortly be in favour of this
country.
In the Foreign Market, the chief butsiness continued in
South American Securities, and the bargainsin them were
extensive at an advance in price in all of them. Colombian
Bonds were eagerly sought after at 78 to 4. The new
Guatemala Scrip had its full share of attention at the im-
proved quotation of 21 2 discount. Some very heavy busi-
ness was done in Mexican Scrip at 74 7 discount. Brazilian
ditto was at 8i 8 discount, and the Danish at 7 6k dis-
count. The business in Greek Scrip and Spanish Bonds
was very limited, the former was reported at 163 i discount,
and the latter retrograded to 21 21k.
The transactions in the Share Market were principally
confined to Potosi Shares, in which there was considerable
jobbing at Sj 4, and just before the market closed, there
were buyers at 4. The old Chilisn Shares rather improved
to-day, they were 9 10, and the Anglo-Chi!ian Shares
were a shade lower in value, 16 2. The Anglo and the
United Mexican Shares remained at yesterday's price.
The Sugar market is still heavy.

The Regent and Amazon arrived yesterday from out-
posts at Jamaica, but the letters they bring are of old
dates, and relating only to commercial transactions.
Aaarrr or Beast zass.—The following article is copied
from a French Ministerial paper:—" We have received by
an extraordinary courier, letters from Madrid, dated the
oath. They contain the whole of the details of the arrest
and execution of Bessieres. Himself and accomplices were
executed at the head-querters of General Espagna. One
■lone escaped. Bessieres and the eight accomplices he had
remaining with him were feeding their horses in a village
when Colonel Albuin arrived. His arrival was so sudden
that Bessieres had only time to mount his horse and fly ;
but the animal having shortly fell down with him, he fell
into the Colonel's hands ; in the fall his leg was wounded.
Both him and his companions were, according to the cus-
tom of Spa.m, granted three days for repentance of their
sins, and on the :26th they were shot. When led to exe-
cution, Bessieres and his companions shouted " The King
for ever !—Death .to the Ministers !"

EXECUTION OF EmPECTNADO.--The /1/a4rtu
Gag( tte announces the tragical end of this patriot. The
following account of his last moments is furnished by an
inhabitant of Rucda, where the unfortunate General was
hanged. In his will the Empecinado bequeathed four
pieces of cloth, which belonged to him, and were in the
possession of a friend, for the use of the royalist
volunteers of Rueda, from whom he bad suffered such hor-
rible treatment. When be came out of theprison to undergo
his punishment, he became violent with rage on finding
that it was intended to put him upon an au. He refused,
and went to the place of execution on foot with great
firtwnesa. When be had reached the foot of the gallows,
ha suddenly made so great an effort that he burst the
cords by which his arms were confined. He then attempted
lto rush through the line of soldiers who surrounded him,
and no doubt he would have escaped if he had been armed;
but as it was, he was attacked and beaten down with
blows. A rope was then passed round his neck, and the
hangman, who was upon the gallows, leaped upon him,
and with the assistance of some bystanders put him •ia
death. As this wretch wa.; returning to Valladolid, after
the execution, he was welcomed in several villages with
theriliging of dr: bells.—Courier Francais.

The"Biion ill:roles died of apoplexy lately at La Man-
cha, returning from a watering place. He was but forty
years old.
Some holders of Exchequer Bills have availed them-
selves of the Gov eminent notice, allowing them to ex-
change them for money, on giving one day's previous in-
timation, to
.)he amount of 50,000/. This example will be
followed toe very great extent, should those securities fall
to a further discount.

Messrs. Latitte and Daring are mentioned as likely toll
take the llavtian Loan of seven millions sterling. When
we carry back our recollection fur half a century, and ima-
gine any individual talking of a Paris and London hanker
lending seven millions of money to a Negro Republic,wo
must he struck with the changes that time brings about !
N. Onward basimblished a letter from the Conciergerie,
dated September 2, in which he ratites that in July last,
when the 3 p.e cents, were above 76f., being convinced of
the danger of the conversion upon the bases adopted, he
proposed to the Count de Villele to give him a certain and
very 'e means of effecting this conversion, or paying
off the total of the grand livre to the satisfaction of every
11
one, even the stock-bulderv. Ile reef aired, in the event of
' bis plan being adopted, to have secured to him in the con-
version six millions of rentes, at 3 per cent., which he'
would pay in proportion to the livraisons, at the rare of
7.5!. This proposition he now renews, and affirms, that ra
soon as it shall be adopted and made public, the 3 per
cents. will irnm.diately rise above sof. and keep at that
rate.
