I,ne same time past reports have been spread of so intention to
establish threcor four Hospodarials in Greece, and that Ibrahim
J'adis is even said to have made proposals on this subject, which
thr Greeks would not be Indisposed to accept, with some indemnifi-
cations.
These reports are false. The truth is, that Ibrahim is a tho.
runes alussnlmen, and has always treated the Greeks as rebels, or
nether robbers (fur this is the name the Turks yive to their revolted
anNheta), and that he has not made any overtures to them.
The Greeks, on their side, knowing how fallacious promises of
this sawn are, when made by the Tarks, would take care 110.
they entered into such negotiations, even if they were threatened
w;ta greater dangers ; and in all the excursions which Ibrahim has
swede le all digestions is the Mores, no Greek luts ever come to
matt Ns eableiesion to him.

Last night we received Hamburgh Papers to the 12th
inst. from which we have given extracts in another column.
It appears that the contract for the purchase of the Swe-
dish vessels of war has been annulled at the instance of
Messra. BARCI AY, lizaaisro, and Co., on account of the
delays that have taken place, reserving to themselves
the right of repurchasing the vessels next spring, on the
same terms. The Swedish Government accordingly or-
dered the money to be repaid, and the convectors to be
reimbursed all their expenses.

The Editor of the Stockholm Paper, the Argus, has
been acquitted of the charge arising from his comments on
the interference of the Spanish Charge d'.lfraires relative
to this transaction.

We have received Papers from New York to the 25th
ult., and from Boston to the 24th. They add nothing to
our intelligence from any part of America.. The citizens
of New York were busy with the preparations for the cere-
mony of opening the canal from Lake Erie. The pro-
gramme of the procession occupies a whole column of the
Daily AdvetViscr. The following paragraph, descriptive
of one of the intended solemnities, will make our readers
smile :
Dr. Mitchell having obtained the pore waters of the Elbe, the
sacred waters of the Ganges, the overilowings of the Nile, the
waters of the Amazon, the Orinoco. the La Plata, of Colombia
River, of the Thames, the Seine, the Neva, the Tag.ta, and Irom
every quarter of the globe, will Unite those waives with the ocean,
as an emblem of our commercial intercourse with all parts of the
world.
The PrESIDENT was on his return to the seat of Go-
vernment. On passing through New York the Corpora-
tion waited upon him, and in the evening be visited the
theatre. The account of his reception partakes more of
regal form than we had expected from the calculating Re-
publicans of North America :

The building was brilliantly illuminated, and it having been
previously announced that he intended being present, a fashionable
and crowded audience was collected to greet him. On his entrance.
into the box, which was decorated with American flags, the whole
audience arose, and with unanimous acclamations expressed'their
happiness at beholding him, the band at the same lime strikisg up
the inspiring air of " Bail, Coloesbitt."
_ _ .

Notice was publicly given at Washington on the 14th of
October, by the Secretary of the Treasury, that sealed pro-
posal: would be received, until the 21st of November in-
clusive, " for lending to the United States the sum of
10,400,000 dollars." Each proposal will state the sum
which the party making it is willing to give for 100 dollars
of the 4i per cent. stock, one half being repayable at any
time after the close of the year 18211, and the other half
after the close of the year following.

COTTON—The Petersburg Intelligences of the 18th instant'
remarks, " Cotton is now brought in at the rate of about 150 bales
per day. Our streets are crowded with almost every description of
vehicle, full loaded. This great influx, the northern demand be-
ing in a measure.satisfied, added to the recent discouraging advice,
from Europe, have combined to depress prices, and yesterday sales
were making at 11 to 14j cents."

There is perhaps no science that has of late made greater
advances, or that has been pursued with a more disinter-
ested wish to promote the permanent interests ,s4,•the
country, than the science of political economy. au
unanswerable proof of the enlightened disposition of those
Ministers who take a lead in all which relates to the great
concerns of commerce, that they seem most anxiously in-
clined to give effect to those principles which the most ap-
proved writers on this important science have recently in-
troduced. We are very far from undervaluing the labours
of thii Political Economists ; the faults and absurdities of
the old system were, many of them, great and manifest, and
immense advantages have been gained to truth and rcasou
by exploding them. The names of Bream)°, Minis.,
To oa e, MAL-rues, and others engaged in the same
laudable line of research, have opened a new mine of infor-
mation on this subject, by which our statesmen may profit
to the end of time. But with all our respect—and it is most
sincere—for these distinguished writers; and estimating—
as we do most highly—the sound mind and solid information
which they display, we cannot help thinking that Great Bri-
tain is not exactly in a condition to profit by their labours.
The principles which they lay down may be true beyond
all refutation ; but they may, nevertheless, not be applica-
ble to the commerce of Great Britain, relatively to that of
her continental neighbours, and burdened as her manu-
factures are with duties growing out of an immense iv-
!tional debt, and subjected to revenue regulations in every
part of their progress. Nothing, for example, can be more
true in theory than that a people ought not to be obliged
to eat, drink, or wear any article produced at home, pro-
vided such article can be obtained cheaper from abroad ;
but if our statesmen were to make laws upon this principle,
they would be found utterly at war with every rule of
sound policy, and with every principle of substantial jus-
tice. It will not do to legislate from books. Systems which
sound well upon paper may make sad havock if acted upon
without reference to the actual state of things to which—
and to which alone—they apply. It is positively danger-
ous for a philosopher to intermeddle with the Wealth of
Nations. It grows out of causes so complex—it is so in-
terwoven with the interests of the revenue—of the agri-
culturist—of the manufacturer—of the merchant--of the
trdsan—of the stockholder—it is so bound up with na-
tional and individual industry—that a legislator—even the
wisest—is in the cohdition of a blind man, mid feels that to
be safe must try every step of his way. We shall illustrate
our opinions on this subject more fully when we come to dis-
cuss the silk question, and thatmost important of all sub-
jects, the Corn Laws. In the mean time, we freely confess
that in our opinion to touch either is to tamper with the
springs of our national prosperity. They must have shut
their eyes .to the lessons of political history, who have not
learned that the real causes of a nation's decline may be
often traced to the measures intended most for her benefit,
and that this again proceeds from a fact to which Political
Economists do not sufficientljf advert, that when the rela-
tive situation of a country is changed, Me same causes do
not always produce the same ripe*.

CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The British Funds gave way materially in price this
morning, and • general gloom pervaded the Stock Ex-
changes—a gloom that was excessive even in these times of
panic. The market for Consols opened for this account at
654 6, but it soon retrograded to 851, and d was afterwards
the quotation, Cie market having a very heavy appearance.
Bargains for the January account commenced at 86/1, hat,
they were subsequently done at 8.5i1e l'he transactions
were very large, and the opinion generally was, that some
extensive sales had been effected by the Bulls, in order to
save some part of their losses, for certain it is that there are
no political circumstances to explain or acelannt for the de-
pression. Exchequer Bills were Is. Ys. premiums
We have only to observe regarding the Foreign Market,
that the panic in it hitherto has been comparatively trifling
