The Etuile publishes the decree of the King of SeAix,
for the institution of the Junta to inquire into the political
state of that country, and suggest such remedies as may be
needful. The events of the 16th of June arc assigned as
the ground work of this measure. The Government is
justly apprehensive of the Royalist volunteers, who are
much too powerful in numbers and influence. The Duke
DEL INTANTADO was appointed President of the new
Junta: but on account of his connexion with the Apos-
toile party, declined the office. General Cwsr.tsos, how-
ever, had accepted it.
Vie intelligence from Greece is in the highest degree
important and satisfactory. The defeat of IBRAHIM
PACHA at Tripolizza is confirmed. De is completely
surrounded by the Patriots, and apparently has no chance
of escape. Relying too confidently on his good fortune,
he had advanced into the Mores until lie was met by Co-
LOCOTRONI and Cortoronto with twenty thousand men
under their command. The victory was of the most deci-
sive character. Counrouto was moving rapidly by the
[coast

towards Motion, in order to cat off the retreat of
Is ILA tttM and his fugitives. This battle has saved Greece.
The gallant Minutia has gained some further successes
over the combined dm of the Mahotnetans. He prevented
it from conveying 6,000 Egyptians to reinforce IBRAHIM.
The campaign is closing with glory to the Greek arms by
sea and land.

The intended elevation of Prince GUSTAVUS to the
throne of Greece, is said to have been communicated to the
British Government by the Austrian Cabinet. The re-
ported answer of England is not unfavourable to the pro-
ject, if it hail the approbation of the Greeks themselves.
to whom it ought in the first place to have been proposed.
The Austrian and French Missions at Napoli are there, it
is stated, for the purpose of inducing the Greeks to recog-
nize their new Sovi hign.

MADRID. JULY 19.
General Cato (brother of the celebrated Marquis Romano, the
new Captain-Oeneral of Madrid, arrived here on the 18th, and im-
mediately took the command. It is affirmed that he tins received
in the most favourable manner the officers of the Royal Volunteers.
telling them that they merited his esteem, and that on all occasions
when it should b.? necessary to defend the King or the Altar, he
would always tic in the midst of the Royal Volunteers.
Sentence will soon be passed on the trial long pending against
General Don Antonio Burriel, who, when Chief of the Staff, had
SiS or seven soldiers of the Regiment of St. Marceral tried and shot
in the Isle nt-Leon, for haying cried out, when under arms, "The
Absolute King for ever." It is not doubted that he will be con-
&anted to death.

of Sachtouriii, was about to attack the fleet of the Capitan Pacha
off the Isle of Andros, hastened to lend his assis•ance to this deci.

The last letters from the Pelopormestts positively assert, that Ibra-

cut off on alt sides by mere than 21.1,000 Greeks. One thing is
certain, viz.:—that Capitan C'oliopoulus, after having destroyed

A report has h•en circulated that Russia had proposed to Austria
to place Prince Gustavus on the throne ot Greece, or at least of the
Pclopormestli.
This proposal. addressed to the Austrian Cabinet, is said to have
been transmitted by the latter to England, which is stated to have
announced that " his Britannic. Majesty, being convinced of the
pacific views Of Rimia, and being also able t, depend on the pre.
penderancsof his naval power in the Mediterranean, would feel no
tealitusy at the establishment of the new King, or Grand Duke,
but he thinks die Allied Powers should first propose the plan to the
Ureeks themselves." _ .

It is askled, the Austrian and French missions to Napoli di 80-!
mania are for the purpose of inducing the Greeks to recognise the
King proposed.
The wel4.known opinions of Prince Metternich. adverse to any
concessions to the Greeks, rrske it improbable that there should
be any Austrian mission to Napoli. We might believe it if the
oh,eet were to threaten or to discourage th Greeks.

The Afemoiial Ihn Mai: of the 2tth of July states, that
intelligence hail been received at Bordeaux from Ulna to
the lath of March. At that period Callao was closely block-
!idea. An American vessel, with several Spanish Revolu-
tionists from Gibraltar, having attempted to cuter the port,
was captured, and it was renerally believed would be
condemned. A French brig of war, and the frigate Marie
Therese, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Ros Ami: had
cast anchor near to Lima, not Laving been able to enter the
waters of Callao. General Rom t. still persisted in refusing
to listen to any proposition fur surrendering, and appeared
determined to bury himself under the ruins of the fortress,
if no relief should reach him from the Peninsula.

in the early part of March, BoLIVAR, who was in per-
son directing the siege of Callao, suddenly left the camp
and proceeded to Lima, where he convoked an extraordi-
nary meeting of the Congress for the purpose of con-A:It:I-

eating to them the contents of the tlespatelles he had r!:-
ceived, announcing that France, it) conjunction with the
Holy Alliance, had resolved to declare war against the
new Ameridin States. The Congress continued sitting!
from eight o'clock in the evening until four o'clock the fol-
, lowing morning. The result of this deliberation had not
transpired. The French who were at Lima were consi-
dered only as spies and agents of the Holy AllianCe. The!
public feeling regarding them had in some instances ex- I
posed them to violent measures. A Naval Captain on a
mission from Rear-Admiral RosastEL had been ottlered
and compelled to leave the city in twenty-four hours.'
! Several Frenchmen residing in Lima as merchants, pro-
prietors and physicians, bad been obliged in like manner
to depart at a moment's notice, and sacrifice their interests
in ()Mee to save their lives. The Lima Gir:rtte of i
March S was filled with invectives against the French ,
Government, which was charged with sending envoys in-
vested
with demi-official character, only for the purpose of
ascertaining the actual condition of the new States. We
_suspect that there is a good deal of exaggeration, if not
some absolute fiction, in these statements of the Memorial I
Bordelais. It is extraordinary that the news from Limit,
received via New York. makes no allusion to the extraor-
dinary convocation of the Peruvian Congress.

The Austrian Ohservfr, following its unfriendly course
towards the Greeks, announces, with evident feelings of
pleasure, that some " advantages have been gained by
IBRAHIM PAC/IA over the insurgents encamped in a forti-
fied position about twenty miles north of Modon." The
affitir seems to have been of little importance. The num-
ber of the defeated is not stated, nor the name of the corn'
mander. We may safely conclude, therefore, that, not-
withstanding the official pomp with which the news of this
victory was promulgated to the inhabitants of Constantino-
' pie, lartwnrit would find his position in no respect impro-
ved by his success. The Divan still appears to be in a state
of discord. Some changes had been recently made in the
Turkish Ministry, and the GRAND VIZIER was seriously
ill. The Austrian Obserrer also gives a new version of the
navel engagement off Capo d'Oro, on the athority of " the
Cambrian, Captain Haan ra-ox." The lois of the CAPITAN
PACHA is stated not to have exceeded two corvettes burned,
and six transports captured, "during the confusion caused
among the Turkish fleet by the fire ships." As. however,
we know nothing of this Captain HAMILTON, nor of his
means of information, we are disposed rather to give credit
to the Greek accounts, which are corroborated by the sub-
sequent inactivity of the ('ArITAN PACHA. at a period
when his services would have been especiall itnpo itn

The reduction of the duties levied on the importation of
tea and tobacco is now the only act necessary to put down
1 foreign smuggling, and to relieve the country from the
heavy expense attending the preventive service, amounting
annually to nearly one trillion two hundred thousand
pounds sterling. As this is a most ungracious service to
the feelings of the officers en.ployed in it, the general opi-
nion amongst the mercantile interest has for some time
been, that his Maataty's Ministers would take an early
opportunity, by reducing the duties on tobacco and tea, to
destroy the temptation for evasion. The heavy duties on
tobacco press in a particular degree on seamen, and on
river and canal navigators, and are to them oppressive be-
yond any burden imposed on any other class of his Ma-
il sTy's subjects. Upwards of four millions sterling are
annually levied on tobacco, of which, however, only about
,tfiree millions find their way into the Treasury, the ex-
pensrof collecting amounting to nearly thirty per cent. on
the gross amount drawn from the consumers. These duties
were heretofore collected under two Acts of Parliament.
By one of them the Excise collected, as a permanent tax,
?.s. per lb., and by the other, which was renewed annually,
the Customs collected, what was called a war duty, of Is.
per lb., making the entire duty on tobacco imported from
the United States of North America, am runt to 4s. per lb.
In the Act passed last Session of Parliament, fur consoli-
dating the duties of the Excise and Customs, the perma-
nent duty of Ss. per lb. on tobacco, it is understood, has
alone been mentioned, and no notice whatever has bem
taken of the war duty of Is. per lb. This latter being It-
vied under the authority of an annual Act, and this Act
not having been renewed last Session of Parliament, ceased
to exist on the sth of July last, and the country has there-
fore to congratulate itself for a farther remission of taxes
to the amount of nearly one million sterling. Those who
have paid the war duty on tobacco since the sth of July,
will draw it back from the Treasury. It amounts to
about sixty thousand pounds. Next Session of Parliament
will probably make the tobacco duty 2s. per lb., by which
the consumption of this necessary article will be doubted,
and by saving the great expense on the collection of duties
under the present restrictions, the Treasury will positively
gain more duty than is at present paid into it from this
department of taxation. The reduction on the ditties levied
on spirits ar.tl wines has added to the revenue received
from them, and the same will be the effect of the reduction
of the tobacco ditties to such a moderate rate as may render
the evasion of them an object not worth attention.

CITY, SATt7IIDAY EVENING.

In the Consols this morning there was a considerable degree of
agitation. The opening price was 90i. Heavy sales were made,
and a depression of one half per cent. was the consequence.
That there existed no political cause fur this decline was admitted
on all hands, and therefore it could only be attributed to the pro-
spect of some internal calamity. The Bank of England was, as
usual, the object whereon the attention of the money dealers was
chiefly directed ; but even there not one solitary cause for a fall in
the funds could be found. The Bank hag declined, it seems, any
longer to lend money on stock, but, unless under special circum-
stances, where is the capitalist who would take a loan of money
from the Bank at en interest of 4 per cent. per annum, to enable
him to hold funded property from which only about 31 per cent. per
annum conk be obtained. The Bunk never advanced in all
COO,OOOl. on stock security, and five-sixths of this sum were to an
' eminent capitalist, who 11811 repaid the advance sometime ago, and
has frail his stock restored 'to hiM. This circumstimee therefore
was no solid reason for a decline in the Corrals. The next charge
static against the Batik was, a resolution come to by the Directors
to limit their discounts of commercial bills by two millions ster-
ling. To do this, however, is beyond the power even of -that great
establishment; fur, during the last twelve months, they have not
been favoured with many mercantile bills to discount. The rate of
interest charged by the Bank is 4 per cent. and it is not likely that
merchants would ask discount in this quarter, so long as plenty of
money could be obtained from private capitalists at front 3 to 4 per
I cent. on approved paper. The increasing commerce of the country
has certaiely increased the number of bills in the market, and the
bull brokers, within these few weeks, have found employment for
their money at 4 to per cent. The merchants consequently now
send more bills into the Bank for discount, because the charge
there is now lower than in private quarters. Whether the Bank
has been or has not been liberal in discounting dila increase of bine
cannot Le ascertained ; but even if the whole of it has been rejected,
the circulating :tied' is not in consequence in any degree de-
creased. 'flue futility of these alarms breathe obvious during the
day. and the advance in the Console before the closing of the
market was as rapid as had been the decline after the opening.
'fhe last price was 94 4, and the market was very firm. After
Exchange hams a good deal of business was done et the closing
price of the dee.
In the Poreign Marktt, little buslnetet has teen done. South
American Securities: are generally lower. for there is little erectile.
tion now in nay of them. Colombian Bonds are bought in small
sums for the country. They yield a good annual interest, and the

for some weeks, with the Austrian, Russian, and Nether-

I the likelihood that, for sonic time at least, this tranquillity

The combination of workmen in Ireland is general, not
only in Dublin, and among all the trades, but in the country
also. A curious fact has just occurred. The Lord Mayor'

Extract of a letter from Marseilles, dated July IS:—
" M. Ilugues Pouqueville, Consul for France at Patras,
has just sent hither the sum of a thousand francs, to be dis-
tributed to the Christians who escaped from the massacres
of Scio and Ipsara, and who have taken shelter for there
last two years at Marseilles. A grateful Greek publishes
this new act of beneficence of an t.!ficer of his Most Chris-
tian Majesty, who, after having saved thousands of vic-
tims from the sword of the Mussulmaus, still conti-
nues to succiur them in calling the public charity to
their help."

AVe learn by letters from Madrid that a shorer of stones
had fallen at Torrecilla de Carneros on the 3th of last
month. Stones weighing from two Dunces to half a pound
have been picked up. Great damage has been done, but
principally among the cattle.
We learn from the German papers that Dr. Fischer of
Thornenburg in Austria, prophecies a vary warm and dry
summer and autumn, on account of the sun being exceed-
ingly den and without spots, and therefore giving snore
light and warmth to our earth. " Generally," says he,
•‘ vegetation will only be refreshed by dews. The western
wind will merely bring clouds, rarely partial, and never
'continual rains. In the month of July will be the warmest
weather, and will far surpass that of 1810 and 182. A
long, dry, and warm summer, will exceedingly favour the
vintage. Between the 10th tember and loth October,
the rare and interesting junction of three of the most lu-

and heat, and will produce us fine autumn mornit;gs."
The following is an extract of a letter, dated Alexan-
dria, June B.—" The great demand for the indigo of this
country has caused the Viceroy to direct the cultivation in
various provinces to the Fist of Cairo. He has further
ordered a new canal to be curt, which traversing the city of
Cairo, will extend to snore than 30 miles in the district of
Serkari. To execute this great work, there will be required
a sum of five millions sterling and four years labour, and
3000 houses in the city will be demolished. The proprie-
tors of these houses will receive indemnity in lands, with
the obligation to sow them with indigo. More than 30,000
men will work day and night on the excavation of the ca-
nal, which is destined to convey a great quantity of water
into the provinces beyond Frajum.'
The American papers slate that Commodore Porter has
been put under arrest, and received notice of trial by court
martial, from the office of the Secretary of the Navy. His
offence is not mentioned, but it is supposed for nnofficerly
and ungentlemanly conduct, its prematurely publishing the
proceedings of elate court of inquiry, and sending the
pamphlet to the President and to the Navy Department.
The late election for a delegate to Congress in Flerida
has given rise tea newspaper controversy, wherein Achilles
Murat (son of the late revolutionary King of Naples) was
a party. By the advice of the United States District At-
torney, Murat went to the polls at St. Augustine, and gave
in his vote, which some of the judges of the election dis-
Iputed, and which an anonymous writer in the Herald af-
terwards seproached him for an intention to deceive, in
exercising the elective privilege without the necessary qua-
lification of residence. Murat, in reply, denies any in-
tention of violating the laws. which we can readily believe,
in a spirited appeal to the Floridians, in a manner credit-
able to his feelings as a gentleman. And here the matter
rests for the present.
In the »eighhourhood of Matanzas, in the island of
Cuba, there has been a serious insurrection among the ne-
groes. They put twenty whites, overseers and others, to
death ; and when the last accounts came away there was',

concerned in the revolt.

DitrADITI. Ftnr. IN Orn CarENntsu-sr arm—Friday
night, about half past ten o'clock. a fire wr,s discovered in
the house of Mr. Jones. No. 4, Old Cavendish-street. The
female servant who first noticed the fire, which originated
in the parlour, had scarcely given the alarm whete
flames burst up stalls in every direction with prat.
fury, and completely choked every avenue of escape. At
this time the alarm and confusion were dreadful, and the
family had barely time to escape in a state of nullity ; and
it was stated that a child and two women were still in the
I house, A gentleman, who was stated to be a foreigner of
distinction, escaped by the first floor window. At length
the flames were subdued, being conlihcd to the house, by
great exertion, and a search was commenced for those who.
were said to have been burned ; about three o'clock the
body of an elderly female domestic was dug cut of the ruins
and about eight o'clock Saturday morning another body,
that of an infant child of one of Mr. Jones's lodgers ; aro-
tl:;•:. :nal; w.ts removed to the Hospital very mrch burnt.
