LONDON, SATURD 11', JULY 1, 1826.

The Etoile of Thursday and other French papers of
the preceding day have arrived. The following are ex-
tracts:—

[From the Eloile.dated June 29.1

CONSTANTINOPLE, MAT 26.
On the 19th May, Mr. S. Canning sent his Dragoman to the
Reis Effendi, to desire a categorical answer to his preceding pro-
posals in favour of the Creeks. which had hitherto been put of
with the verbal declaration of the Reis Effendi, " that the Porte
would never treat with rebels." This time the Minister answered
the Dragoman, that he would lay the demand of the English Am-
bassador beturc the Divan and Council of State.

The letters from the Archipelago say, that the neighbouring
islands have promised Hydra to defend with all their might that
bulwark of Greece. But the chiefs appear to be much divided on
the question of the continuation of the war. A considerable part of
the National Assembly at Epidaurus n•solvcd to give to Mr. S.
Canning, full powers, in clue form, to offer to the Sultan tI a sub-
mission of Greece upon certain conditions, but those conditions are
of such a nature. that it is impossible to hope, under the present
circumstances, they will be accepted by the Porte. Demetrius
Ypsifinti has issued a protest against this step, which has pro-
duced great effect. Meantime the war continues.

FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, JUNE 10.

Letters worthy of credit, dated Bucharest, June 3. announce.
that the Porte, after ordering the evacuation of the Principalities
by the Beshlis, and just when the llospodar was beginning to act
nish more liberty, lii.a drawn upon him for the sum of 300,1100
piastres, by means of his son, who is actually a hostage at Constan-
titiopte. The liospodar at first protested against the payment ; it
is said, however, that he has since paid part of the sum, probably
tint of fear for the fate of his son. It is generally believed that this
measure is an expedient invent. il by the Divan to render the evacu-
ation of the Principalities in sonic degree illusory, and to continue
the exactions, by which alone the Porte ran meet the extraordinary
expenses which the present exigencies require.
The Princess Jablonowska has just raised a monument to the
memory of the Emperor Alexander, by founding an hospital under
his name in the town of Lisianska. It will be built at her expense,
and remain under her direction. Two chapels will be built in the
hospital, to celebrate divine service en Sundays and holidays ac-
cordtng to the rites of the Greek Church, for the repose of the soul
of Alexander 1. The Emperor has approved the plan of the
PrinceisaJahlnnowska by a rescript signed by his own hand.
Lenionley, Member of the French Academy, died yesterday
evening. after a few days' illness, which had no appearance of so
melancholy a result. Al r. Lemoriley was burn at Lyons about 1760.

The supplementary investigation in the aflitir of Omani is pro-
ceeding with great activity, and every day the Chancellor and the
Members whom he has associated with him. the accused and
the witnesses, and there is every reason to believe that the commis-
sion will soon lay before the Peers the result of its labours.
During this time the Chamber of Pars minims its labours as a
branch of the Legislature; a general discontent has unanifestril
itself in the Ikreditary Chamber, on the situation in which it is
placed every year to vote without the possibility of examination on
the most important law of the State, viz. the Budget. It is in-
conceivable that the aristocratic power should be deprived of the
control of the law which sanctions the land-tax ; and if there were
not in that Chamber a profound respect for the Royal proposition,
it would reject a project which each of the Members cannot con-
scientiously examine.

The Du'ke Iltitotte will on Thursday make his report on the
Budget. The 31inisters would have desired greater celerity. but it
is said that the Nable Reporter said that it it was impossible for the
Chamber to discus the Budget, it was at least titling that the
Member appetioted to examine it should have time to form an opi-
nion before he presented it to the Chamber.
Aitrr the Budget. the Peers will again inert 114 a Council ofitia.
lice, to decide on the result of the Commission on the Obits of
Ouvtaril. It is thought that the Court will decide this year, un-
there should not be a sufficient number of 31embers to vote.

It is said this evening that passports are refused to Peers, in or-
der to keep thorn at Paris.

IVe have received American Papers to the 21 June,
from which we have given several extracts of considerable
importance in other parts of our paper.

The Westmorland contest increases in interest as it
proceeds. By our report this day, it will be seen
that the Assessor has decided against the admission of
(according to the Patois of Appleby) the mushroom voters,
upon the ground that they are annuitants, and therefore
ought to have been registered for six months previously.
This has given Mr. Bieoun ['Ares party great spirits, and
they now speak confidently of that gentleman's success.
However that may be, this circumstance will undoubtedly
tend to prolong the contest. This election has not pro-
ceeded without those ebullitions of popular feeling that
are so common at this period; but 1.11",! LOIVTIIf rt, al-
though su'jectcd frequently to the indignation of the
people, firmly resisted the introduction of the military;
which, under the circumstances, we consider creditable to
his Lordship's judgment and temper.

Our readers will perceive that we arc enabled, for the
first time, to insert extracts from the London Gazette in
our Saturday morning's impression, in consequence of the
alteration that has taken place in the time of its publica-
tion, occasioned by the anxiety of the Government to ren-
der every facility to the transactions of commerce, which
will be materially benefited by the new arrangement. It
gives us great satisfaction, also, to announce that, in ad-
dition to the advantage that the readers of this Journal, in
common with those of every other Morning Paper, will
experience, by the change in the publication of the Ga-
zelle, those who peruse our columns will hays an impor-
tant and exclusive advantage, that we have been enablt-d,
by the application of considerable industry, to procure
for them. We allude to the announcement of the
Meetings of Creditors. We publish to-day a list of
the London and Country Meetings, two (lays previous to
their taking place ; so that commercial readers interested in
a bankruptcy suit may have the opportunity of sending
instructions, by post, to their Country Agents. We give,
in addition to what has hitherto been announced as the
Meetings of Creditors, not only a London, but also a
Country List, and this in a compact form, in which the
eye of the Creditor will immediately meet the name of the
Bankrupt, in an alphabetical arrangement. We shall like-
wise, give from the official source, those announcements,
so important to men in trade, which have hitherto
been omitted—Meetings for the Choice of Assignees,
with their Adjournments—Adjourned Last Examinations
—Meetings for the Proof of Debts, with adjourn-
ments—Meetings for Special Affleirs, with a specifi-
cation of the intent, either for Composition, Chancery
Suits, or Purchase and Sale of the Estate or Effects. The
Dividends will be inserted in a manner new to the Com-
mercial world, by Joint, Separate, Final, first or second,
or adjourned, and the ordinary list of first, second, and
third Examinations. Meetings at the Chambers of Soli-
citors, and Dividends payable there, will be given with
those announced to take place it the Court of the Com-
missioners of Bankrupts', in Baaingball-►treet.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
The gloom, which has prevailel for some days past, appeared to
increase this morning. Consols for Account opened at 71;,!, the
price at which they closed la't night, and receded to 74 i—eier-
maely buyers and sellers. The business was exceedingly limited ;
indeed, had there ben any extensive aisles, the prices would hate
declined more unlovely, as the least unfavourable rept rt was meg

This being settling day in the Foreign market, there was.,
I relief to the gloom that prevailed in the English market, as ,
decline in the South American Securities during the Account ti

from Jamaica brought, most opportunely, a communication or
subject or the Colombian Dividends, doe in July. It was recti-,
by Alvan. B. A. Goltischinid: and Co., the Contractors for the,,,;

"Government having never been unmindful of its duty to tat

municitted its instructions to the Minister of the Republic. reaiellt,

with them, it does not doubt that the interest sill be punetu if/

in future. Thus, then, even the delay hos been foreseen, white,
might have taken place in the payment of the Bills drawn, and fe,
this purpose negotiated itt Pent.

" on.the oth-er hand, this subject has deserved the consideraU4
of the Legislative Body, whose dispositions, united with the in.e.
rest which the Government taken in their execution, will strengtb4
the credit of the Repuh:ic ; and you tnay he assured that, the Li,.
difficulties overcome, the payment of the interest will be regulate(
in future, in a fixed and permanent (banner, without experience:

This iotelligence produced an immediate rise in the Colombia)
Securities of 2{ per cent., sand operated very favourably on &au)
American Securities generally.
At the close of the market we heard of one failure only, and dr
of no great an punt. This day has passed off in a way mtr.
better than could have been anticipated, when it is considered 1,.
great has been the decline in Foreign Stocks.

BRITISH PPESS OFFICE, light o'ClocI:

We stop the Press to announce the following importa.
intelligence from Westmorland,e received by express:—

WESMORELAND.
REPORTED RESIGNATION OF MR. BROUGHAM.

It is stated that notwithstanding the decisicri of the as‘errn

against the " mushroom votes," many were polled during Thurt.
day, the legality of which was questioned by Mr. Brougham.—ln
consequence of that day's proceedings it is reported that Mr.
Brougham declined continuing the contest, and announced his in.
tention of petitioning Parliament agairst the election. This result.
so unexpected after what occurred on Wednesday, isrendered more
than probable by the state of the roll on its close on Thursday
evening, when Mr. Brougham was left 304 ! below Col. Lowther.

to give unmixed satisfaction.

t)espatelles were received yesterday morning from Vice.
Admiral Sir Laurence Halsted, Commander-in-Chief
his Majesty's ships on the Jamaica station. The squadren
generally had been healthy, but the Isis, bearing the Vic -
Admiral's flag, had suffered considerably from sickne;:.
We are sorry to learn that Dr. Archibald Lang, Surgeon
the Royal Naval Hospital at Jamaica, died on the iftit
April, in consequence of having accidentally pricked
fore-finger, while assistinz, at an operation on a dead boil:
at the Military Hospital, on the 13th of that month. Pr.
Lang was universally respected, and was in his 43th year.
LIVERPOOL, TIIL.R4DAY EVENING.—Report states slut
there is an Insurrection in Colombia, and that a Mes-
senger was landed at Ccrk, with despatches.

We alluded a few days ago to a question which hay
been agitated by a Morning Paper, whether, in the event
of the demise of the Crown, previously to the New Parlia-
ment having " met and sat," the last dissolved Parliame::
would not re-assemble, and the present Elections becotre
absolutely null and void. The assertion was made by the
Morning Paper alluded to, on the authority of Mr. Re'-
sell's Hook ; and we observed, that if the law now stood u
laid down in the passage quoted of that work, it ought to
be altered as soon as possible. Upon inquiry, we find that
the Act of 6th Anne, referred to by Mr. Ilatsell, was re-
pealed by the 37th Geo. 111., cap. 127 ; anl that it was
enacted by the same SL Lute, that in case of the demise of
the Crown, subsequent to the dissolution or expiration of
Parliament, and before the day appointed for assembling
a New Parliament, then the last Parliament shall imme:
diately convene and sit, and be a Parliament for air
months, unless sooner prorogued or dissolved ; or unless in
case of the demise of the Crown again taking place, when
it shall continue for six months from the last mentioned
demise; hut that in case of the demise of the Crown on or
after the day appointed by the Writs of Summons for as-
se nblirg the New Parliament, such New Parliament shit
immcdii.tely convene and sit and be a Parliament for six
months, unless sooner dissolved. The case, therefore,
could not occur which was put by the Paper before al-
luded to, and the law stands, as it ought to do, according w
reason and caromou sense.—San.
