LONDON,

1 We have received the Paris Papers of' Friday. In the offis
dish part of the Martifear there is a second proces verbal of
tLe commissioners, for cert Vying the amount of the converted
Itentes. This tiocumeut is merely confirmatory of the
correctness of the official journal, stating the details of this
4.nancial operation.
• In the f.rst proces verbal, it was stated that the applica.
t.on for cor.version of Rates amounted to 30,01@,5168fr.
The Five per Cents. converted into Three per Cents.
arr.cunt to 30.447,53gfr. There remain therefore in sus-
pense or.ly 9.60,730 fr.
The statement presented to the commissioners amounted
to i61,136fr., being a difference of 406 fr., the cause of
which has not beeu discovered, but will be investigated.
We regret to find that no confirmation of the defeat and
capture IsaAutr. PACIIA has been received from the
Mores- Some vague reports were current at Corfu, as to
v:ctory gained by Cotocoraosi, on the plains of Tri-
jpolizza. On the other hand, there was a rumour that the
Creeks had been defeated, and that the cities of Misso-
luoghi and Napoli di Rotnani, in order to save themselves
from destruction, had hoisted the English flag, uhich, we
are told, the Turks respected. None of these statements
are entitled to the least credit.
'Ale correspondence from Madrid represents the affairs of
the Peninsula tohave arrived at a crisis. Somegreat political
tow, it is expected, will shortly be struck by the apostolic or
siltrs-party. An attempt it appears will certainly be made
to depose FERDINAND VII. A confereuce lately took
place betweeb the KING and Don CARL°s respecting the
plot for elevating the latter to the throne. FERDINAND
put into his brother's bands some pieces of money, coined
with the likeness of CirartLes Y., and some intercepted
letters, which nearly implicated the infant its a knowledge
of the treasonable proceedings carried on by the conspirators
it his behalf. Don C•atos, of course, denied that he was
aware of the use to which his name is applied ; but his ex-
planations were so unsatisfactory that the KING was re-
solved to keep his brother near him, and in his power.
Great efforts are making for the re-establishment of the I
inquisition. Two of the old inquisitors, ETENAIW and
the celebrated Father Heart wee, have had an audit:we of
the Kies, in which they insisted with indecent warmth
on the necessity of restoring the Holy Office immediately
to the plenitude of its authority. FERDINAND assured
them that it was a subject he had at heart, but that a mea-
Ewe of so much importance should he maturely considered
before it was finally adopted. Ile had previously received
from- RECACH o, the intendant of police, a strong represen-
tation against the re-establishment of the sanguinary 1.6_ I
benal. The military commissions have been suppressed
by a royal decree, and other acts of a moderate and con-
Calistory nature have been performed by the Govern-
"amt. which, if it had strength, teems well disposed to use

• bigotted and cruel priesthood will probably crush all its
endeavours to meliorate the condition of the kingdom. The
troops who are waiting at Corunna to be embarked on the
eapedition to the Havannah rr.anifest alarming symptoms
at mutiny, and commit daily disorders and excesses. One
of the officers lately mitered the barracks in order to seize
one of the rioters, who in self defence threw a bottle at his
:lied. The officer drew his sword, and struck right and

left at all those who stood in his way. The consetittence

and other missiles upon him. Ile 1,11/1 with difficulty re-

The situation of Greece is still involved in obscurity. We know
nothing certain since the retreat of Ibrahim from Napoli or rather.
since the 29th June, when there was lighting at the foot of Jloutit
Parthenon, and Coloctroni had ordered a levy en masse of the Pe-
, lopOnnesiads The news of the capture of Ibrahim is not confirm-
ed. These are the latest accounts, which we cannot in any way
guarantee.
A vessel which arrived at Ancona, June V, in three days from
Corfu, brought the following news
" The Greeks in the blare& are defeated ; Missoloreghi and
Napoli de Romania, to avoid' a massacre, have hoisted La tan.
deiru !vine. The Tutks then suspended their operations against
these two places."
A letter from Corfu, of July 20, informs us, that It was reported
there, that the English gag was flying on the walls of Napoli di
Romania.

The same letter menticns a report at Corfu, that Ibrahim had
been defeated 501 July, in the plains of Tripulizra, by Cotocouoni,
with she loss of MOO men.

Yesterday we received New York, Philadelphia, and
Washington papers to the 25th ult. They contain no
political intelligence whatever. The American editors are
principally occupied with the compilation of facts and
publication of opinions respecting the excessive heat of the
weather, and the consequent increase of mortality. The
following are extracts:—
_

NEW Yoa&, JULY 23.

We r‘gret to hare to state, that twenty-fire cases of sudden death
occurred yesterday in consequence of dtinking cold water, and
other causes produced by the excessive heat of the weather.
In New York, during the week ending on the 16th instant,
there were one hundred and ninety-seven deaths ! Of these ninety-
two were men, thirty-four women, thirty-six boys, and thirty. fire
girls. It is said that in the grave-yard of the Roman Catholic
cathedral there were twenty-1x interments in one day of last week.
Thirty-three of the number of deaths were •from drinking cold
wive?, a considerable number from apoplexy, inflammation of the
brain, kc. making neatly sixty sudden deaths.

Papers from Rio de Janeiro to the 9th of Jtme inclusive
were received at our office yesterday. We give extracts
from them in another column. They relate chiefly to the
revolt in the province of Monte Video. The Brizilian ex-
pedition sent against Ili vE as is said to be enthusiastic in
their loyalty to the Extreaos, and a similar spirit is said
to prevail through the army. Don Pxnito judged it
necessary to harangue the :soldiery in person, and they
responded to his address by the warmest acclamations.
This reliance on the military power seems to imply that
his Brizilian MAJESTY iS not very sure cf the affections of
the people. The very fact of the successive revolts
against his authority shows that there is an active an 1 ,
widely spread feeling of discontent, which it would be
prudent to conciliate by mildness rather than attempt to
quell by force.

We understand that the preparations for Lord Coco.
RANE'd departure are in a forward state, and that all will
be ready by October. His Lordship, we are informed, will
bare a force of 8,000 men under his command ; and no
equipments will be wanting to render the armament
complete.

CITY, SATCRDAY Everts°.
Consols were a shade better than yesterday, but the
transactions in them were limited, and without interest:
' They were done for money at 89U, for the nest settling
day at 891 90, and for the October account at 90i

The Foreign Market was deserted by half-past two,
and the prices were nearly nominal. Spanish Bonds were
reported a shade worse than yesterday. South American
Securities were at yesterday's quotations, and Greek Scrip
was 13 12i, but there was scarcely any thing doing in it.
There was considerable fluctuation in Shares to-day ;
those of the Anglo-Mexicin Company declined to 63, 75,
and some heavy sales were effected at that price. The
United Mexican Shares also suffered a depression of 1 per
cent. lit Netherland Salt Shares a goad dealof business
was doing, at an advance of per cent. illey reached
4, 41. Place Glass Shares improved considerably ; the
last quotation in them was 611.

The Pylades frigate arrived at Port Royal on the '2Pb
of June from Falmouth and Barhadoes. She had on board
Messrs. O'Reilly and Fauche, the British Consuls for Gua-
temala and Santa Nlattlia, with whom she would shortly
proceed to their destinations.—New York Paper.
In the province of Paraguay, by an order of the Gover-
nor, all convents have been suppressed, and their property
sequestered.
Letters have been received from Buenos Ayres of the
kit of June. The packet for England was to nil on the
4th. A grand entertainment in honour of South American
Independence had been given by the British Settlers; it is
said to have cost 14,000 dollars. The exchange was at 45,
and the price of the 6 per Cent. Stock at w 2.
The Nuremberg Correspondent, to the 12th instant,
mentions, that fifty miners from the neighbourhood of
Fribourg have been engaged by the London Mining Com-
pany for working the mines of Buenos Ayres. Some of
them go thither direct ; others come first to England.
Their departure has been sanctioned, but not without dif-
ficulty, by their Government.
The Journal de Gantt of Thursday contains the follow-,
ing paragraph :—" Yesterday, and the day before yester-
day, there passed through this city, Lords Sidmouth and
Liverpool, on their way to the Hague, through Antwerp,
where it is said the Duke of Wellington will meet them.
It is also said that a meeting of these personages will take
place at Spa, and that the Duke of Cambridge and the
King of Prussia will be there."
A Royal Sardinian edict directs that henceforth no per-
son
shall learn to read or write who cannot prove the pos-
session of property above the value of about 01)1.
sterling. The qualification for a student is the posses-'
sion of an income to the same amount.—lfamburgh

lowing passage, extracted from a Barbadian Paper by the
Guidnarlaroniele, shows that steam navigation is advan-
cing iu the West Indies as well as in the rest of the world:
BRIDGETOWN. JUNI: 3.
We congratulare our readers on the prospect of the establishment
of steam boats amongst us in a very short time. We know that
the list is already very numerously and respectably signed ; the
names of his Honour the President, several members of the Ho-
nourable liourd.of Council and House of Assembly, most of the
first mercantile, houses ip town, and a longlist of country gentle.
men, give stability to the scheme, and an assurance that tt *ill be
conducted in the best possible manner, and be a guarantee of the
peeper itiplicatipn of the funds of the subscribers. We are in great
hopes that it will amply repay those persona who embark in it.
There can be no !lenitive certainty in any speculation, but as far as
we can judge, this promises to be very profitable; and will etc..;
Saltily be or thetrentest benefit to all the Colonies, by promoting
treater intercourse, and be the means of uniting them on all grad
pohticakguestiops. Travellers amongst the Cotonies'in pursuit OP
pleasure, health, or business, pill find that erne and comfort chick
no other description of vessels can possibly afrurd.—Barbadian•
• A correspondent, who states that he is a constant slitter
of 11-a. Regent's-park, considering that part a most delight-
ful slot, 8111 particularly for a promenade, suggests, that
the placing a few seats round the inner circle, similar to
those in Kensington Gardens, would add much to the con-
venience and pleasure of the public, particularly to those
persons who walk there from the east end of the town.
