The au ick upon the frontiers of Russia by the Persians is an
event of which but little hiss been heard at Odessa. It is reported
that a division of the second army was about to march for Caucasus.
We have this day learned that the .2.oih division of infantry, cantoned
in the Crimea, his already moved towards Georgia, by the line of
Coubart. It will be replaced by some battalions stationed in the
neighbouring Governments. It is thought that other troops will be
sent to reinforce the army at Gco•gia.
This news will certainly not be without its influence upon the
center:net% which still continue at A kermann.

Greek cause will be found interesting, although it is in
some degree contradictory. IVhat with the revolts of the
Egvpti.u► Paellas, and the decisive tone assumed by the
Russian Commissioners, whose proceedings we have
noticed elsewhere, the new ally to the body of modern
reformists, Sultan MA►►s►ot:n, seems to have his hands
fully occupied. The letters from Alexandria are favourable
to the Greeks, while those from Corfu are, on the contrary,
discouraging. The following arc extracts :

SMYRNA, Auo. 22.

Letters worthy of credit. dated from Alexandria, the Ist of this'
month, affirm that the exchequer of the riche of Egypt is so ex-
hausted by the expeditions to Greece during the last three years,
that he has signified to the Porte, by his agents in Constantinople,
that he is unable to continue these exertions. Another unpleasant
ereuntstance is added to this. Several of the Egyptians who were
sent to the Mores have returned to their own country, and Pare
given such a frightful description of the hardships and privations
which they endured in the Mores, that whole bodies of the troops'
trained in the European fashion in the camp near Cairo, ran away,
for fear of being embalked for Europe. It is said that 4,000 men
have deserted in this manner, who increase the insecurity which has
prevailed in this country fur these two years.

VIENNA, SEPT. 13.

Letters from Corfu, of 21 of August, say that Ibrahim reached
Tripolizza at the end of last month, without having been molested
by the Greeks, in his march through the defiles between 3lessir•
and Arcadia.. After a short stay at TripOlizta, he made on the
Mb a great teconnuiumce in all directions, in which, as well as on.
an excursion made on the let of August, by part of the garrison of
Trippolisza, there was some sharp fighting, which, according to the
Greek accounts in the Napoli Joutual, of ith August, ended with
sune loss on both sides.

Count 'Kaniorowsky brought the nen s of the coronation at
Moscow having been solemnized on the 311. This important
event was immediately announced by a salute of 101 guns from the
eltudd. On the 17th Tc Dam was peril riled in the Cason Cathe-

had since those of the entrance a the Allies into Paris in 1814.
There were numerous tine transparencies and allegorical paintings,
and in all quarters of the city triumphal arches, adorned with the
ciphers of his Majesty and his august consort. The weather was
delightful, and the streets filled with an endless line of carriages,
which could scarcely move for the crowd. General Kutusow,
Governor of the capital, received an Imperial Kescrirt on the oc-
casion, in which his Majesty commands him to announce to the
inhabitants of St. Petersburgh the hippy news of the' solemnization

of the coronation, and says—
" To our peculiar satisfaction our beloved brother the Cesar.

Every branch of trade appears to be making progress
towards improvement, and by slow but sure steps steadily
advancing to that state which every true friend to the great
interests of the country must desire to see it arrive at. All
the advices that we have received from the districts that
have been principally suffering under the influence of the
recent depression speak of its& comparatively satisfactory
condition of the operatives in those distrtcts, and of the
revival of business generally, in a degree that affords a
reasonable expectation that their comforts will be daily
returning to them, by the employment of themselves and
their families. Many temporary impediments may still
retard the progress of commercial amendment. Many re-
lapses may fairly be expected to attend so severe a disorder
as the one the country is just recovering from, and no cir-
cumstance is more likely to produce suth a relapse than
over-speculation—a repetition of the system, founded in
folly and cupidity ; of excessive manufacturing, such as
occurred at the latter end of 1523, the whole of IS2t, anti
the commencement of t S'2s; and when the markets were so
glutted that a demand could scarcely be forced at any
sacrifice, the parties who had occasioned the mischief
then turned round upon Ministers, and declared that ruin

was before us if the. silk and other monopolies tare in•

terfered with. Then arrived the period of advice and
warnings to pursue the old track, and compel the inhabi-
tants of England to buy dear goods, when they could
obtain cheap ones, for the purpose of putting money into
the pockets of those who sold them. The disinterested
purity of the advice was only equalled by the acts of vio-
lence, mischief, and blood, that were to follow its neglect.
We were gravely told more than once—and we have no
doubt Ministers heard the horrirying information much
nftener—that the Spitalfields weavers were not a set of men
to be trifled with ; that they formed a sort of colony
amongst themselves, and were, when once enraged, like
tigers chased by the hunters' spun.; (we are giving the
warning we heard verbatim reliteratim ; whilst our hair
stood on end at the appalling recital;) that spikes to an
immense extent were manufactured to prevent the opera-
tions of cavalry in the streets (we presume a sort of por-
table chevaux tle fricle, made out of the iron work of their

leon.s). Our risible muscles were not sufficiently forbear-
ing to hear to the end of these warlike preparations, or
else we have not the least doubt that we could have

known the desperate Vulcan, (whose forge had turned
not swords into tloughthares, but teems into death-
warrants for the medalled ligrocs of the Peninsula and
Waterloo,) whir the number-of journeymen he employed,
together with every particular connected with his interest-
ing traffic. As to Ministers thtmselves, their hours were all
numbered; the pop-guns and pistols were ready loaded, so
as to prevent any further acts of mischievous policy pro-
ceeding from them. 'l' he discussions of the preceding Ses-
sions, on the various bearings of the great question that
bad occupied so much of the time and attention of Par:ia-
ment, were concentrated in the last, and this circumstance
produced the singular coalition between silk-manufacturers
and landowners. So long as manufactures alone were
aimed at, the poor Spitalfields weavers were left to fight
their own battle, and to send forth their anathemas against
liberal principles in their own way; but the moment the
system verged upon the Corn question coadjutors were
found to assist in the attacks against Ministers, and to echo
loudly all the dreadful forebodings of the cheraux-de-frieze
makers. Notwithstanding the union of these phalanxes of
patriots unequivocally declaring that, if the Government
would not attend to their counsel, revolution was at hand,
and anarchy about to uproot all the institutions of the
country, ecclesiastical and legal, commercial and military,
still our legislative departmcut continues amongst UF, and
Ministers, with their heads left upon their shoulders, are
about to meet the new Parliament in November; and we
have not yet heard of St. Paul's or Westminster Abbey
being blown up. We should not have condescended to
advert to the trash that we were doomed to hear in the last
Spring, in the way of Intimidation, did we not anticipate
a slight return of the disiemper in the ensuing Session of
Parliament. The gralual, but steady, improvement in
trade that is now witnessed, so much to the satisfaction of
those commercial men who have only rational purposes to
answer, and who only look for reasonable profits, will
not satisfy the enthusiasts, who entered into the mail
speculations of the period to which we have alluded; and
we look forward to the probability of the time arriving, and
that at no great distance, when the mania for manufactur-
ing will operate as strongly upon those who arc not ruined
beyond redemption as ever it did. This cannot, we ima-
gine, go to any wide extent ; for one advantage undoubtedly
resulting from the late commercial embarrassments has
been, that they have done much to separate the wolves from
the sheep, and to clear the market of rash adventurers,
whose only hope of profit exists in some desperate specula-
tion ; but still there are men enough left out of the wreck
to pursue the old coarse of manufacturing LO,OOO/. worth of
goods for a demand of 10,000 f. worth, and who, when they
are compelled to get rid of the excess at any sacrifice, will
unblushingly assert that all their misfortunes and losses
have arisen from British manufactures having been left
without due protection. If such wanufichirers as these
could receive the wholesome protection of a strait waist-
coat, probably the true remedy to the evil would be ap-
plied. These are precisely the men who talk at the corner
of every street, bully and bluster, and make persons not very
conversant with human nature believe that they alone are
rght, and the rest of the world fools or rogues. It is our firm
persuasion that the pat tics, for the most part at least, who
are opposed to any alteration in the trade in corn, are some-
what in the came situation, and act expressly upon tl.e
same principle, as the commercial speculators to whom
we have particularly referred. The great lend pro-
prietors, which comprise " the Corinthian pillar cf
the State,' hare too much at stake, even if narrow views
alone actuated them (which is a libel upon them that we
will never hear without contradicting), to trifle with this
sulject of paramount importance. The Acts te;tiicting

the trade in corn were passed under peculiar circumstances
and at a period of considerable excitement. Various causes
occurred to prevent the reconsideration of those Acts, and
they have never been completely brought before the atten-
tion of Parliament : hut when that is done in the ensuing
Session, and tl e c intemplated alteration is considered as a
part of the moit important system of commercial policy
that England ever entered upon at one time, nothing shall
make us believe, until we knew the fact by sad experience,
that the majority of the on nets of the soil will oppose such
an alteration. They must know that the measure which
is advantageous to the other great interests of the country
cannot be detrimental to their own. The parties whose
career it will trench upon are half-ruined farmers, who
are endeavouring to retrieve the effects of their improvi-
dence by speculations, which the constant alternation of
price under the present laws gives them an opportunity of
indulging in ; and landlords, who, living beyond their
maw, imagine that the present system, which leads to
nominal high rents (fur, under the general restrictions on
trade, they were but nominal), facilitates their opportuni-
ties of raising money. A simultaneous effort to create
alirin may be again att.:milted by these agricultural and
commercial empiric; but Ministers can now with honest
pride, even in the infancy of their unrestricted system,
refer to facts, and may safely assert that no danger is to
he apprehended so long as it is not opposed ; for the
policy of th:: Government :s the cause of the people. .

CITI, MoNnAy EVENING.

The home Stock Market has not displayed any decided
activity beyond that which took place at the opening, when
a strong effort was made at depression, and which was so
far successful as to send them down to ; they soon

however, took a favourable turn, remained for a time ai
80i, and finally closed at 801, without a single circumstance,
i►► the way of news or report, to occasion an operation either
one way or the other.

By the Leeward Island Mail, which arrived this morn-
ing, Caraccas Papers (the El Colon!Nano) were received to
the id August, but they are wholly uninteresting in re-
spect of political news. Private letters from La Gutyra to
the Gth August state that the Supreme Government bad
determined on dispossessing General Proz of his command.
In the Foreign Market there has not been so much doing
as usual. The information which was posted at the North
and South American Coffee-house on Saturday, of the
landing of from 5,000 to 6,000 Spanish troops at Tampico,
turns out to be incorrect, indeed altogether false; the pro-
ceedings taken to ascertain this will be best told in the fol-
lowing notification, which appeared at the North and South
American CotfeL.-house this morning:—

•' One Hundred Puuads Reward.—Whereas a fabricated letter,
dated Portsmouth, 22d Sept. 11129, ant :iged • J. Bumstead,' was
on Saturday last received by the master of the North and South
American Coffee-hoosr ; this is to give notice, that one hundred
pounds reward will be paid by Mr. Davies, master of the slid
Coffee-house, to any person that ahlil gave information which shall
lead to the dis:overy of the writer of the said letter. The letter
may be seer. at tie bar of ;ha said Coffee-house."
•' The Committee of Subscribers to this Coffee-house having had
under their consideration this morcang a letter raeived by the in:
on Saturday last, dated Portsmouth, 22d September, and signed
' J. Dumstettel ;' rod Mr. Davies having reported to the Committee
the means he has taken to ash ertain the genuineness of the letter, by
despatching a special mes,e: g:m. to Portam,ruth on Saturday even-
ing, the Committee are of opinion the lever is a fabrication, no
such ship as the Emmel.ae Int:ing arrived off Portsmouth, nor any
such person as Mr. Bamstead (who is a respect dila merchant at
Boston) having landed there. Mr. Davies having perceived, on
Saturday, that doubts were entertained of the genuineness of the
:cute, appears to have taken tiro most prompt and active measures
for detecting the fabrication.'
From this it will be seen that Mr. Davies took the earliest
possible means in his power to detect the imposition, by
sending an intelligent individual down to Portsmouth, who
was employed the whole of Sunday in endeavouring to find
some clue to the letter. The only circumstance, however,
which he learned was, that an individual had landed from
the Lady Wellington Packet from Havre, which individual
was known to have put a letter into the Post-office at Ports.
mouth, and had immediately proceeded for London. No,
doubt the parties who undertook this stock-jobbing hoax
took the necessary pretautions to avoid detection. The de-
viser of the forgery thought to make a good thing of it;
but, as the manufacture of the commodity was of such a
doubtful character, little credence was given to it, and its
effl:et, therefore, on the Market, was of a very trivial nature.
Mexican Bonds, which opened this morning at 64, have
fluctuated from I» to ‘-2 per cent., finally closing at 612.
There has been something doing in Colombian, which have
altogether varied about 1 per cent.; at the close of the
Market they may be quoted at 354, 36. Chilian Bonds are
rather feverish commodities at this moment ; doubts arc
renewed as to the approaching dividend not being paid,
but :roe the smallness of the amount, for the sake of the
bondholders, it is to be wished they may find an agent able
and willing to make the advance, should delay occur in
their arrival: their closing price was from 38 to 40. Greek
and Spanish arc nearly the same as last, with a very dull
, market.
In Shares there is little doing. Del Monte have gone
down to 90 disc"unt. Brazilian are at 9to 10 premium.
The Corn Market was much thronged this morning,
purchasers considering, ❑o doubt, that from the gitantity
of eats which had arrived during last week in the river—
within a fraction of 4.0,000 quarters—prices would go down;
such, however, has net been the case, for they fully sup-
ported their last week's quotation. It is now tolerably
clear that plenty will be ensured without such a woful
depression as was anticipated, and indeed it would seem
questionable whether oats will not advance rather than re-
cede further in price. Sorely his Majssty's Ministers will
have little trouble in vindicating a measure, the advantage
of which is CO apparent. Wheat is, if any thing, a shade
lower, while other commodities retain their last quotations.

By the Lc'ward Island mail we have intelligence from •
La Guavra, of the 6th August. Tho letters appear chiefly
filled with rumours respecting the march of troops against
Paez, but they are so vague and contradictory, that we be-
lieve there have been no military movements whatever.
The information we have received tends to show the
determination of the Supreme Government to put down
the insurrection (as it is now termill) of Paez.
He is reported to hate proceeded to the banks of tl e
Apure, to levy troops, and prevail on the Command-
ants to join his cause, which seems on the wane, as
several letters mention that the desertion of the troops
wi,st considerable. The rumrairs, however, are too loose
for us to attach much importance to the statements. One
of the le' tcrs, which enters much into detail as to the situa-
tion of Coloin' ii, says, " We are assured that General
Bwrinutlez is in march against Pacz." We have, however,
been favoured with letters front Augustura, of the 16th of
July, which state that Graeral Bermudez had lately been
reviewing the troops in that disttict, and had staled up the
()think° in one of the steam-boats (the Libertador) b.:long-
ing to Colonel Harailton, with detachments of troops to
secure the important military stations on the river.
Such it; the rueful and ruinous state of the retail trade
of Perth, that a number of haberdashers have stopped
payment, who, a few years ago, purchased extensively in
the London and Manchester markets, with all the " advan-
tage of ready money."
