GREECE.

The Hydra Journal of the 7th of October contains the
following law, issued the 2-2 d of September, for the intro-
duction of the conscription :
PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF GREECE.
As the argmentation of the regular troops is the best means of
founding the independence of Greece, and this augmentation cannot
be obtained without a legal reerolthig, by means of tbe conacripiton,
it is decreed— . . .

• 1. That there shall be a levy by means of the conscription,
through the whole of Greece, in the proportion of one man from 100
eauls of each city, town, or village. The age of the ssldiers is to
be from 18 to 50 years.
2. In places where the number of inhabitants is not exactly a
certain number of hundreds, the fraction, if above 50, is to be
reckoned as a full hundred, and furnishes one soldier; it below SO
it furnishes none.
3. The levy is made by all the inhabitants Rom 18 to 50 years of
age, drawing lots; from which no one is exempt unless he paw
anothet °Niue age required, and on which the lot has not fallen, In
hive mom.

4. Only-cone, and those who ate proved to have some bodily de-
fect, are exempt.
3. One-third of the conscripts of each province gots cut annually
by lot, and is replaced by another third, so that the whole regular
military forces renewed in three years.
R. No one, however. is obliged to retire; but those who wish to
ternaln will be particularly acceptable.
7. The officers engage to serve three years, and are not to
be replaced by thirds. If they retire after three years service, they
retain their military rank, and receive a third of their pay.
8. The present law shall be inscribed in the code of the laws, and
published.

Accounts from Oorfu of the 2Sd of October say, that at
Missolonglii things are in the same situation as they have
been for some months. It was thought that Redschid
Yacht., contrary to the Turkish custom, would continue
the campaign in the winter. This opinion seemed to be
confirmed by preparations making to erect a bridge over the
Achelous (Aspropotamos), to facilitate the Serarkier's com-
munication with the northern provinces.

'fhe Neapolitan Es-General Rossarol (notorious in Mes-
sina), accompanied by his five sons and a young American,
named St. George, sailed on the 18th of October from Zante,
where he had resided two years, for Napoli di Romania.
Twenty-six individuals, sent by the Greek Committee at
Paris, arrived there some weeks before. Among them was
M. Mitsui, a French Lieutenant-Colonel, the son of the
well-known Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely, and several
Artillery officers.

The Journal de Paris of Saturday, in an article con-
taining some details relative to the political and commercial
situation of Buenos Ayres and Brazil, has the following
statement in a concluding paragraph :—" The English de-
mand that the shall enjoy, during fifteen years, the ad-
vantage of the old Treaty of Commerce concluded in
1810 between England and Portugal. If they obtain this
favour they will have a great advantage over us ; they
will payonly 13 per cent. analwe shall continue to pay th
Waal' is far from understanding her own in!erests. She
will make many enemies if she do not admit all nations on
the same terms. '

The Journal of the Two Sicilia of the 10th ef this month
announces the discovery at Naples of a species of varnish,
which has the power of prescrving paintings in fresco from
the effects of the air. The King of Naples ordered it to
be submitted to the examination of the Commissioners ap-
pointed to analyse the uatural sal artificial substances
found at Pompeii. They have reported that it is a good
varnish—that it has not altered the tints of painting at
Pompeii, and that it will be an acquisition of great im-
portance to the art. The inventor, M. Celestine, has been
appointed Secretary-General to the Academy, and the
King has ordered th it the discovery be made public.
Letters from Glasgow state, that large quantities of
London paper have been remitted, in the hope of ob-
taining discounts at the Glasgow Banks; it were al-
most superfluous to add that the experiment has failed.
ASHBURTON BANK, Messrs. BROWN, WINDSOR, A !,1
C M o.—We regret to say that the above firm suspended
their payments yesterday (Thursday) evening, after a tre-
mendous rim of several days. A report that such was the
case was current this mornin', and was fully confirmed in
the afternoon.—Depon,hi re Freeholder.
NEW EDINBURGH BANK.—We understand that a con-
siderabk progress has been made in organising a new
Bank. It is proposed to commence it on a different foot-
ing from the National Bank, and the other banks with
numerous branches. A capital of a million (nominally)
is talked of, and if the management is put on the econo-
mical footing which has been stated, thi scheme will, in
all probability, turn out well both fur the public and the
pecan ie tars.—Scotemen.
A short time since, as the Lord Bishop of Rochester was
taking an airing on the sands war Burnham (his Lord-
ship's then residence) the horse pima his foot ou a " sea-
bottle," which, in bursting, proelacecl so bowl a report, that
the animal took fright, when .fortunately, by a sudden,
movement, he broke from the shifts, and made the Lest of
his way hark, leaving his Lordship and the servant some
distance from home ; but•we ate happy to hear that his
Lee.dd‘ip sustained no injury.
