On land the Greek cause wore an equally prosperous
aspect. Ds nv Ist, l'A en* had ben obliged to retreat be-
yond Thermopylte, as far as Zeituni ; and 111,..ctiocolt-
Dsro, relieved from all apprehension of intestine commo-
tions, had marched after him into Acarnania, at the head
of 3,000 Greeks, confident of victory if the enemy did not
defraud them of it by continuing to retreat before them.

No further intelligence was received yesterday respecting
the alleged victory of Bot.tvAß over the Spaniards in Peru.
There was a slight depression in the American Funds, con-
sequent upon the over-excitement of the previous day, but
not in any degree, we believe, resulting from a foolish ru-
mour of the defeat of BOLIVAR, which rested upon the
authority of a misprint in one of the ill-managed Journals
of the United States. If there has been a battle, the pro-
bability of success is greatly in favour of the Colombians,
who area well-disciplined body of patriotic veterans, while
the Spanish forces are, fur the most part, composed of re-
luctant, disorganised, and ill-paid mercenaries; besides,
Bow.** has a numerical superiority.

An occurrence took plane recently in the South of Ire-
land, which, on account of its locality, would hardly be
worthy of notice, if it were not connected with the state of
parties in that kingdom, and illustrative at once of the
progr..as made by the liberal and conciliatory policy of the
Marquis WE LLEsLty, and of the obstacles which yet op-
pose themselves to his Government. The first stone
of a new bridge was laid on the 23th of October, at
Limerick. The Commissioners for the erection of this

useful public work, he.l resolved to give it the name of
the Wellesley Bridge, " in henour," as they state in their
inscription, " of the Viceroy under whose auspices the
undertaking, was commenced; considering that a national
work of beauty, utility, and strength, was not an improper
memorial of the Governor, whose principle it has been to
effect an union of all the King's subjects, in the discharge
of their common duties, for the benefit of Ireland and of
the Empire." His Excellency being unable to attend in
person, the Earl of CLARE officiated as his proxy, and in
the procession that was to take place on the occasion of lay-
ing the foundation of the bridge, the chief places of honour
were reserved for the Members of the Corporation, who
were respectfully and earnestly invited to attend. When
the day arrived, however, the Corporators were all absent:
neither Mayor, Recorder, nor Alderman—not a Charter-
Justice thought fit to take any part in the commencement
of this important structure for the improvement of their
city. In the Limerick Chronicle they have published an
excuse, ascribing their absence exclusively to the " many
slights" they have sufferA from the Commissioners, and
disclaiming any intention of showing disrespect towards
Marquis IVst.t.zst xv. The fact is, that the Corpo-
rators and the Commissioners have waged electioneering
hostilities; and as the bridge is a work which the
of Limerick owe to the zeal and perseverance of Mr. Seta NG
Rica, the Corporation, who withal are tinged with
Crangeism, were resolved to deprive it of the benefit
of their august countenance. Dc mini/leis non curia ler.
The insignificance of these persons, it may, perhaps, be
thought, should save them from observation. Intrinsi-
cally they are certainly of no consequence; but for the
reasons we have given above, we deem them entitled to
this animadversion. The whale empire has all interest in
knowing the success of Lord Wt t ES 1. EY'S endeavour to
institute a system of sound and impartial government in
Ireland. The following is an extract from a private letter,
relating the transactions to which we :.Elude:—
" LIMERICK, OCT. 26.

" I am happy to say that the ceremony has passed off in
a manner the most satisfactory; and so far as gond humour
and good feeling go on the part of a population, assent-
bled to the amount of at least thirty thousand, the proces-
sion was not altogether unworthy of the name with which it
is associated. The BISHOP, and Mr. BLANCA URN, the Assistant
Barrister, attended, and they both speak highly of the exemplary
conduct of the people. For the first time, in the South of Ireland,
we saw the Police lay aside even their side-arms, and appear with
their constables' staffs only. This, although apparently a trifle,
we are vain enough to consider a circumstance connected with Cie
Wellesley Bridge, which will be acceptable to the Loan LIEU-
I TENANT. The Mayor and all the Civic Authorities were invited
to attend. The Bridge Commissioners sent a deputation to bear
their request, and they reserved for the Chief Magistrate a plate
in the procession immediately next the Lord Lieutenant's proxy,
but these chartered gentry declined giving their attendance.
" An attempt was made, after the ceremony, by sonic who had
more real than discretion, to chair Lord CLARE and Mr. SPRING
RICE, who 1i..1 taken a prominent part in the business of the day;
but a few words of correct representation from the lion. Gentleman,
pointing out the impropriety of associating any name with the sunk
but that of the Loan LIEUTENANT, turned matters right, and
the populace acquiesced in the advice which was given them."

During yesterday scarcely any business was dune upon
the Stock Exchange. 'l'lle excessive activity of the pre-
vious day seemed to have produced an over-exertion, from
the effects of which the Exchange was reposing. Any
little business that was done was principally in the
South American securities, and what bargains were made
were at fully) per cent. under those of the previous day.
The rumours of the former day were repeated, but they
still remain without official confirtnation, and therefore are
only entitled to be looked upon as mere reports.
Tue Cott:mat:B.—This immense vessel has been re-
ported in the Downs, by intelligence which was received
last night. From the direction of the wind, which was to
the southward of west, it is probab:e that she is now high
up the River. As soon as the express brought the news of
her arrival, one of the principal owners set off in tile
James Watt steam-boat to meet her. Since that time she
has been joined by three others, which will tow her up
the River as far as the Hope, where she will remain until
the next springs, as she draws about twenty-three feet
water; and from her excessive length, were she to be
swirled round by a current, she might ground in a narrow
channel. Many absurd stones have gone abroad concern-
ing this ship. It has been said, in an Evening Paper,
that she was insured at twenty-five per cent. No such
insurance was effected by the parties concerned, the high-
est sum they insured for being ten per cent, and in many
instances not more than aix per cent. The policies alluded
to at Lloyd's were mere beta, and none of them, we be-
lieve, ever exceeded twenty per cent. Iler cargo has been
stated at 6,300 tons, instead of which it is 6,300 loads of
wood, which is equal to 7,1475 tone. The vslue of ship
and cargo is estimated at 44,0001., of which not more than
one-third (16,0001.) has been covered by insurance. Off
Deal the Columbus was supplied with an anchor weighing
71 cwt. On the voyage she became leaky, and we under-
stand that seventy men are employed to work the pumps of
this prodigious vessel.
Advice!, from Bombay, to the 14th of June, have been
received, pi.: the United States, but they contain no intel-
ligence respecting the war with the Burmese. A powder-
mill at Papamow blew up on the 6th of May, and killed
SG persons. The cholera morbus is said to have made its
appearance at Bombay.
Letters from Batavia, of the 15th June, give a gloomy '
account of the state of trade in that quarter. The high
duties upon woollen and other goods from parts wi 'tweed
of the Cape amounted neatly to a prohibition of British
manufactures; and a great cheek hail been put upon busi-
ness by the cessation of credit to the Chinese merchants, on
account of recent failures. The exchange upon the dollar
had fallen to 3s. Gd. The market priers at Batavia were—
Cuffee, per !Mfrs., 14 dollars; Sugar, ditto, 7 ditto;

PAU'S, OCT• 29.

Public attention here is intently fixed at present on the
legal proceedings relative to our manufactures, and the I
commercial intercourse between France and England. M. 1
Depouilly, a wealthy silk manufacturer, had resided foe I
many years at Lyons, where he hail amassed a consider-
able fortune by his skill and industry. lie afterwards
removed to Paris, and his speculations there were crown-
ed with the moat complete success. From the ability i
with which he managed his establishment at Paris, his
manufactory became extremely flourishing, and excited
the jealousy of the silk trade of Lyons, who were de•;irous
that their city should be exclusively the centre of that
branch of industry. M. Depouilly recently established
another manufactory in Picanly, and he had formed the
project of establishing one in England. To this end be
waited upon M. de Castel liajac, the Director-General of
Trade and Commerce, to inform him of his intention.
M. de Castel liajac told him that it would be ruining the
industry of France, to transplant into England a branch of
manufactory, in which we were so very far superior to the
English. M. Depouilly then explained to him, that we
must not flatter ourselves that we could teach any thing
to the English, with respect to manufactures ; but that
on the contrary, by establishing a silk manufactory in
that country, he would be able to acquire a perfect know-
ledge of the application of the improve;nenta introduced by
the English, in their workmanship and machinery, and
afterwards to make it known to the French mat•.ufacturers.
M. de Castel liajac made no further objection ; but conceiv-
ing that M. Depouilly applied to him, from an expectation
that the Government would assist him in his enterprise, he
intimated that the Government could not grant him any
aid whatever. M. Depouilly, in reply, assured the Direc-
tor-General that he neither asked nor required any such
assistance to carry his project into effect. M. de Castel
Bsjac then appeared satisfied ; their interview terminated
upon the faith of this explanation; and M. Depouilly com-
menced his operations, and began snaking arrangements
with the workmen fur their conveyance to England.
Among these workmen were some who belonged to his late
manufactory in Lyons. This fact was no sooner known
to the Lyonnais than a spirit of alarm was manifested
among the merchants, who vegan first to complain and
then to threaten ; the workmen exclaimed that M. De-
pouilly was about to sacrifice the industry of Lyons to the
benefit of England ; all the town was in arms: the magis-
trates interposed and arrested the worksivis, and those who
were said to be seducing them, and their prosecution fol-
lowed with as much rigour as activity. M. Depouilly re-
presented to the Ministry that he had made known his in-
tention to M. Castel liajac; but the Ministry declared they
would not interfere in the affair either way, ni pour ni cots-
tre, but that they would leave the law to take its course.
This prosecution, founded upon an old and absurd preju-
dice, is proceeding with activity, but it is doubtful if the
Ministry will preserve their professed neutrality, as M. De-
pouilly is known to entertain constitutional opinions; and
further, the indignation of the manufacturers of Lyons is
so general, and so vehement, that the Ministry, by show-
ing themselves favourable to their pretensions, may hope to
become popular among the Lyonnais.

The attention of Minister; is at this moment cngroncil
with the rciluction of the Army of Occupation in Spain.

It appears to be decided that it shall be reduced one-half,
and concentrated in the fortresses. As to the partial
changes in the Cabinet, it is believed that nothing will be
settled till the arrival of Prince de Polignac, who is ex-
pected here the first fortnight of November. It has been
reported that the Baron de Dames would be appointed
President of the Council; but on tracing this rumour to its
aour:c, it was found to have emanated from the hotel of the
Russian Ambassador, and therefore it was considered very
suspicious. Nobody can be surprised that Russia should
wish to see M. de Dal ;as became Prime Minister of France-
He spent the whole of his youth in the service of that
Power, and he would naturally become the substitute of
the Duke dc Richelieu in the French Cabinet.

Wit:Dena, MONDAY, Nov. I.—Last evening his Majesty I

were the Duke of Devonshire, Marquis Conynghatn, Sir

Extract of a later from the Agent to Lloyd's at Corfu,
dated September 30th :
•, I stated in my last advice., the probability that the Greek
Authorities would withdraw their Proclamation regarding such
neutral flags as might engage in the service of the Porte ; this
liaviagactually taken place, although not °Mit-tally notified by this
Government, our relations with them arc again on the same finning
as previous to its promulgation."
We regret that all the cotton mills belonging to the as-
sociation of master cotton-spinners are still shut up. We
learn that although at the meeting of the operative dele-
gates with their employers, several facts were stated, and
communications and written documents laid before the
operatives, of which they expressed ignorance, and although
the employers declared their willingness to receive any
communication which the operatives might have to make
in conciptence, yet we do not bear that any has been made.
We are informed that a meeting of the masters has been
called fur Tuesday, to consider the propriety of publishing
the particulars and facts of this and the previous sttikes of
the operatives.—Glasvw Paper.
