The Paris Papets of Friday contain a long account of
the public sitting of the French Academy for the reception
n' the new Members, M. DROZ and M. CASIMI It DELA-
,. I NE, V.llO, according to custom, pronounced panegyrics
tlic•ir predecessors, M. LA CRET El LE and Count FER.•
kA D. The addresses of the new Academicians are de-
as being worthy of the best days of the Academy.
Ti tt of M. DE LAVIG N E was rendered chiefly remarkable
by the freedom aid' which he stated his political senti-
ments. lie severely criticised M. FERRAND'S theory of
revolutions, and warmly complimentet! General For, and
the other Leaders of the Opposition in the Chamber of
Deputies.

'rile correspondence from Madrid, ;n these Papers, an-
nounces that the Marquis of SA %MA No has been appointed
Minister of IVar, retaining the command of the cavalry of
the Royal Guard. The privileges of the Royal Company
of the Philippines are to be continued during the
p:esiure. By the Royal Cedula of the Nth of July, 1803,
they were to have terminated on the 30th ult. An order
lac been issued from the War Department, forbidding all
iniiitary officers, especially thine lately returned from Ame-
r cr. to visit Madrid without heave. The Portuguese Am-
-I.2.sr,adJr celebrated the birthday of his SovEREIGN on the
tth, with great sp!entlottr. A transparency was exhibited
over the gab. of his residence, with the following inscrip-
bon :—" Long live the Km., of Portugal, and the lit so
of Spa n, and all they Rofal Family." The street was
ceowded with the populace, who vicwe3 the sight with in-
difference. No cries were uttered. Some offic,:rs of the
Royal Guard had made known their intention not to ac:
eept the invitation of the Amtetris dor, because he was a

ititutioualist. The report reached the ears of M. ZE A
MU DIM, who immediately informeil the KING of it.—
result wa.•, that all the officers were ordered to accept

the invitations, and attend the ball. FERDINAND begins!
to find the zeal of his violent friends rather troublesome.-1
Incendiary placards are every monting posted on the walls!
of Madrid, and the Police either cannot or will not discover
the guilty parties. The celebrated ANTONIO MARANON,
better known u the warlike Trappist, is traversing Na-
vane, preaching the necessity of more rigorous measures,
in order to insure the triumph 'of what he terms the
cause of the throne and the altar.
The Moniteur gives accounts of an unfavourable com-
plexion from Greece; but we distrust the official journal
of the French Government, which has latterly taken a part
decisively hostile to the Greeks. The French navy inter-
feres in the contest with evident partiality, and the ap-
pointment of M. DI: RIGNY to the command in the
Mediterranean, we apprehend, forebodes mischief. The
Journal de Paris states that letters had been received from
several ports in the Adriatic, which mention a sanguinary
battle between the Greek and Egyptian armies, the result
, of which is stated to be the taking by storm the entrenched
camp of IBRA HAM PACHA. WC shall look with impa-
tience for accounts directly from the Morca.

Last night we recAved the Brussels and Amsterdam
Papers of Saturday. Their contents arc wholly without
interest. A letter from Corfu, gives the particulars of the
ltaval victory of 'the Greek Admiral SAcirrocuts over the!
Capitan Pwene's fleet, off Zea. The loss of the Turks is
stated at I fri7ate, S brigs, 2 schooners, and 20 transports
burned. The Greeks pursued their defeated enemies and
overtook them again, near Andros, where a frigate and 20
transports were captured and carried to Hydra.
AMSTERDAM, JULY B.—Exchange oa London, 39 7 ; two

Yesterday we received Ilamburgh Papers to the 6th inst.
By advices from Stockholm of the 29th ult. we learn that
the birth-day of the King of SWEDEN was to be celebrated
by the CROWN Parsee with great tnil:tary pomp. It was
reported that a Diet would soon be convoked. This mea-
sure has probably sonic connexion with the policy in-
tended to be adopted by the Swedish Government with
respect to the New States of America. The Emperor of
RUSSIA was expected to return to St. Pctersburgh on the
47 t h .

The summer fair at Nuremberg promised to turn out
favourably. The quantity of manufactured goods, both
national and foreign, was considerable. The prospect of a
fine harvest causes a still further depression in the price
of corn.

Advices fro; • Zante to the 13th ult. in the German
Papers, from which we give extracts in another column,
state that IBSsItTM PACIIA lead been checked in his ad-
vance on Tripolizza by a body of Greeks, who repulsed
him at Cordovenc with considerable loss. In order to put
an end to internal dissention, COLOCOTRONI and his% ad-
herents had been pardoned, and that Chief, after taking an
oath faithfully to serve his country, had repaired to Tripo-
lizza to assume the command ofa corps of 12,000 Moreotes,
who were there awaiting his arrival. MrAcers had gone
in pursuit of the remainder of the Egyptian fleet, dispersed
by hie memorable achievement on the ltlt of May. In
the vicinity of Capella he had formed a junction with the
'other Greek Admiral, SACTOUnIS, who bad just previously
defeated the CAPITAN PACIIA off Zea. The affairs of
Greece, therefore, it is clear, do not wear that desperate
appearance which it has beets the business of the renegades
in the Turkish pay latterly to represent. The three fort-
resses of Napoli di Romania, Menernbasia, and Acrocorin-
them, would form an insurmountable barrier to the success

of Ina RIM in the reduced condition in which he mrst be
since the destruction of his magazines at Modon, even
if Cor.ocovitoNt were ngt posted with his forces in front of
Tripolizza. The probability is, that the Arabs will, after
a few attempts to penetrate the defiles of Arcadia, be com-
pelled to seek for shelter within the dilapidated walls of
Navarino. We trust that the Greek Government will take
care in future to pay that attention and respect to the mi-
' litary chiefs which the present circumstances of the coun-
try rendtr necessary to its deliverance. Nothing can be
more lamentable than to see the existence of the nation put
to hazard for the sake of abstract theories, certainly un-
stilted to a people in their state, if indeed they be appli-
cable to any people under any circumstances. With a lit-
tle prudence on the part of the Government there need be
no apprehension as to the independence of Greece. The
fall of .Navarino will most probably, like the capture of
Ipsara, only serve to cull forth and combine the energies of
the Greeks, and insure their final triumph.
By the Frankfort Papers we find that the rage for Joint
Stock Companies is not exclusively English. An associ-
ation has been formed in Silesia for the exportation of the
agricultural produce of that country to South America.

The Report of the Select Committee on Metropolis
Tunipike Trusts is published in another column. There
can be no doubt, on a perusal of this document, that the
present system of management pursued under these Trusts
is one which ought to be terminated as soon as possible. In
every respect the public suffer from it. More money is,
raised than is necessary, and yet the roads are not in so
goods state of repair as they ought. 'flue multiplicity of
these Trusts is also a source of great loss and ineunve-
nienee. A memorable specimen of the excess to which
this evil has been carried may be found in the fact that
" no less than four several Acts of Parliament, constituting
four separate trusts, viz.—City-road, Ohl-street, Bethnal-
green, and Shoreditch, with different bodies of trustees, and
all the expenses attendant on four distinct establishments,
compromise within them only a distance of four miles and a
half." The vexatious delays and intolerable expanse re-
sulting from these causes constitute no trifling grievance.
By way of remedy the Committee strongly recomincial
"a consolidation of-the whole of the trusts (sixteen) in the'
county of Middlesex under one Act of Parliament, to be
conducted by one uniform system of management." We
believe there will he no difference of opinion among the
public at large with respect to the propriety of adopting
this remedy. It is clear and i ample, and would at once
put an end to many of the evils of the present system.

CITY, SATURDAY EVINIXO.
The advance in Console, after the cloying of the Market yester.
day, way maintained this day, and the business transacted was to a
larger extent than during any day since the settlement of the last
account. l‘loney Stock is still scarce, and unless a great quantity
be delivered at the arrangement of the current account, the Bears
will find considerable difficulty in closing their late extensive ope.
ritinnk at the present prices. Money is plentiful, and Lachyquer

Os dilitand a premium of ats. to 40s. per cent. Ou the Stock
I Exchange it is worth ►ittle more than 24 pet cent per annum ; and
notwithstanding the false alarms which some shallow political Geo-
nomists rropagate respecting the exportation of bullion, and the
consequent substitution of a paper currency, deeper calculators ra-
ther think this circumstance, if it actually does exist, favourable
Ito the best interests of the empire, for it proves that the precious
metals can be employed abroad more beneficially than in England,
and at the same time the low interest of money proves, that to
long as paper money can, on demand, be re-exchanged into gold,
it answers all the purposes of a metallic currency, and enables the
merchants to turn gold and silver into channels of merchandise
where a larger profit can be obtained for them, than by permitting
them to lay in a state of dormancy in the coffers of the Bank of
England. As the season advances, the abundance of money will
continue to increase, and unless new'channels be opened for its em-
ployment, the interest to be obtained on the loan of it must ie.
cline in a ratio equal to the quantity in the market.
On the Foreign Stock Exchange little business has been dons
this day, excepting in the Shares of some Associations, who's
chief object is to raise a time account, and to take advantage of
those who sell more Shares in them than have really been issued to
the public. This object once obtained, they die a natural (lea h.
It is more and more necessary for the public to inform themselves
of the characters of the Directors, and of the natures of the proposed
undertakings, before they embark their property in schemes, many
of which are not intended to live beyond one settling-day.
In European National Securities no variation can be noted,
except that Greek Scrip it onr per cent. higher than it was yes-
terday ; and the French Fives have reached 103 f. 50r. In the
French Threes, no business has been reported. South American
Securities maintain yesterday's prices.
In respectable Joint-stock Companies' Shares, no great deal of
business has been done. The Castello Brazil Mining Shares have
advannd to a premium of 41. each. Iti the Shares of the British
Rock aod Patent Salt Company, there has latterly been consi-
rderabie activity at 5f premium each. United Mexican Shares are
from 1/. to 2/. lower.

No Foreign news of any importance has been received during this
day, but ships are expected daily to arrive both from Asia and
America, by which much interesting information, both political
and mercantile, will be received.

Baron Hautzow,lMlTlerly S;eidisiiAmbasaador of the
United Statol, died lately.

Whited.

A letter dated Gibraltar, June 22, strtes, that among
the Colombian privateers who do the greatest damage to
the Spanish mereintile navy, the General Santander is par-
tier:4oly' remarkable ; the number of prizes she has al-
ready 'made is considerable. The last she made was the
mereha:vt alp Santa Rita, who had taken in a cargo at
Nlajurca, and was proceeding to Puerto Men. The crew
and passengers have just arrived here, and have been for
the present put on board a vessel in the harbour. There
are continually cruising in the Straits a great number of
Colombian privateers, who occasionally come in here for
refreshments.

Tin. NEW AMEIIICAN STATES.—The Staelhahn Gazette
of the 17th ult. contains the following observations on the
propriety of opening commercial relations between Sweden
and the New American States:—" We have not ceased,
during the last two months, from expressing the desire we
feel to see commercial relations attempted with the New
States of South America. New wants are felt by society.
It is true that we are neither strong nor powerful enough
to put ourselves at the head of any great project, whether
political or religious. Sweden, which reckons only four
millions of inhabitants, cannot follow the example of a
tiation which contains thirty or forty; still, however, the
geographical position of the Peninsula enables it to extend
its commerce and its industry, without infringing upon
the interests, either ancient or recent, of any foreign power
whatever. These interests should be alike, and Constitu-
tional Governments are thoroughly convinced of this truth.
' It is in accordance with this incontestible principle, that
we wish our Government, width does not depend upon the
protection of any power whatever, should find in the ports''
of South America a vent for our iron, our timber, our
pitch, sail-cloth, &c. But we do not wish that any pre-
cipitate measures should be adopted; for there are many
obstacles to surmount—many interests to conciliate. What!
it has alrtady done. however, gives ils the assurance that
it will soon accomplish every thing which is possible for
the edvantage of the country."
Ittor AT Pat-lA.—The Atoile of Thursday contains the
following account of the late riot of the students at Pavia:
After the death of one of the students, who was killed by
the troops, eight hundred of these young men assembled on
the 25th ult. with crape round their arms, and wax tapers
in their hands, to accompany their unfortunate companion
to the grave; they swore over his body to be revenged.
Thence they proceeded to the principal Street of the city
with loud cries of " Vendetta ! Vendetta!" (Vengeance!
Vengeance!) many of them being armed with pistols and
poniards. A student discharging his pistol at an hussar,
broke his arm, on which the troops, who were under arms,
charg.d and dispersed the rioters, four of whom were
killed, and forty-eight wounded. Fifty-eight were taken
prisoners, the greater part of whom were soon set at liberty,
and the remainder delivered over to the tribunals. Tran-
quillity then appeared to be re-established. Of the soldiers
six were wounded.

On the 18th June, a man, named Peter Tuchan, died
at Posen. in the 29th year of his age, of dropsy in the
chest. lie was a native of Tula, and remarkable for his
gigantic stature. He measured 8 ftet 7 inches in height,
so that the le ad of the tallest man hardly reached his
breast. It is remarkable that he had no beard, that his
voice was soft, and his feet weak ; he was a very moderate
eater, and it is said he was seven years old before he began
to grow in such an extraordinary manner. His stature
continued to increase, and it appeared that he continued
growing to his death.
RUSSIAN 1101ISE-RACING.—At the beginning of next!
month, it is intended to have some races at St.Petersburgh,
which excite considerable attention. Counts Orlow,
Denissow, and Matassewitsch, have hettol twenty-five
thousand rubles on the question whether Cossack horses
or English race-horses are the fleetest. The ground
chosen for the race is between that city and Gatsehina.
Papers from 13arbadoes to the 17th of May have been
received. The state of the slave population is said to be
improving, in consequence of the increased facilities af-
forded for religious instruction since'the arrival of the
Bishop. The afternoon service of Wednesdays and Fri-
days at the Cathedral was attended by much greater
numbers of them than before, and prepossession was
gaining ground among them in favour of the rite of bap-
tism. Notwithstanding the weather had been extremely
unfavourable at Barbadocs for getting out the crop of
sugar, the quantity cleared at the Custom-house up to the
loth, amounted to 11,717 hogsheads. Quartermaster
Matthews, of the :13th Regiment, was thrown from his
horse on the loth, and a wagon passing at the time went
over him, and killed him on the spot.
The reign of Leo the Tsyclfth over the Papal States is
already marked with bigotry and ultraism. He has insti-
tuted an asylum for assassins in Ostia and three other un-
healthy towns. The Papal. Edict states, that it is for the
purpose of re-peopling these places. Every assassin who
flies for refuge to one of these towns, which are about ten
leagues from the spat where the greatest number of tra-
vellers arc murdered, is to be free from further pursuit !
We hear that Sir 11. Halford's inaugural oration, deli-
vered at the opening of the College of Physicians, is in
the course of publication. The extreme approbation hel
has received (apt Weed scripts manet) from Lords Gren-
ville and Stowell and others, will be the best evidence of
the beauty as well as of the elegance of the composition,
even against the sneers and prejudice of others, who
would not or could not judge of its merits. The efforts'',
of the President were also crowned next day by a present
from the King, of a most splendid star of the Guciphic
Order, of which lie 1133 been made a knight ; and we be-
lieve this is the first instance that a physician, quaad mrdi-
tui, has been honoured with a star. All who know him
will wish that he may live long to wear it. The last act
will best evince his munificence: having ascertained the
expense of the entertaimnent, which exceeded 3001., the
President gave a draft for the whole sum.
Thursday evening, between eleven and twelve o'clock,
a lunar rainbow was noticed at Devizes, complete in its
form, but the moon being partially obscured by a thin
cloud, the colours were less brilliant than they otherwise
would have been. A shower of small rain fell during its
appearance, which continued after it was observed for
about five minutes.

have deferred corning till the Prorogation of Parliament, in
order to escape the consequences of a breach of privilege,
which may occur while the Houses are sitting.
We have heard that several physicians in London arc
in the habit of receiving a certain annual sum from fami-
lies, fur attendance anti prescriptions. This is the hubs
plan, which we very much approve, and trust it will be-
come general. A physician who can secure SOO families,
at 3/. or lot each, would have a respectable income, and
would not have, on an average, twenty on his sick list.
As he was pressed on by more families, be could, of course,
raise his terms : but we really know many who would
gladly embrace such a plan.
