His Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies arrived

Icsudence prepared for him at the royal ralace.

sian Consul-C _ oral in Walachia and Moldavia, is

li,,nutt, JAN. ;.WO Ir . a, John Nugent
livine and Hullan . who were arrested
l ere in November, have sold, since Cie begin ling of
)819, a vast number of bills of exchango, f.wged
by themselves, on numer.ma journeys which they
made, chiefly under false names, (rim Paris, through
Franev, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Poland,
Russia, Finland, Sweden, Denlark, Holland, Spain,
Old other countries ; a great part of these hills has
already been sent by the persons deceived by them
to the criminal court in this city, which is charged
with the investigation of the affair. A third Irish-
inm in particular, who et•companied the prisoners
for several years, is said to have cheated, by title:
bills of exchange, many houses in France, Gem.va,
Rome, Lucerne, Zurich, St. Gallen, Belzano, Aix-
la-Chapelle, Brussels, Valencia, Vittoria, St. Peters-
burgh, Stockholm, Leghorn, Milan, awl Laybach.
Some of these cases are specified in the 1 ' lie
make issued by the criminal court.) The two
prisoners bud with them, when arrested, 6,000
dollars, which is to be divided timing their creditors.
J AN. .—The Spectaterr Oriental,
of November 30th, gives an account of the plun-
dering of the Sardinian brigantine, the Spirit°
Santo, Captain Cornesigo, by a Cassini. brig, which
first sent u boat to seize the captain, and when he
was on beard the Greek pirate his vessel was pier-
tiered of every thing. The captain thinks the
Creeks would have murdered him and his crew, had
nut a large vessel appeared in sight. The Greeks
then put the Sardinian captain on board his vessel,
and sailed in a different direction. The captain has
come to Smyrna.
A shocking affair has happened off Missolonglii,
the details of which are not, however, known. We
have merely learnt that the Creeks of Nlissolonghi
have seized an Austrian sloop, and cruelly murdered
the captain, Count Ivanovich, and three of his crew.
Letters from Syra of the Bth mention, that great !
agitation prevailed there, in consequence of the dis-
covery of a conspiracy to plunder the island, and to
carry olf every thing in the warehouses, and on board
the vessels of the European nations, of which there
arc generally about fitly in the port. Some hundred
Greeks were suddenly to appear, who were in concert
with about 40 persons in the island; the latter were
to give notice to the former when the French and
Austrian ships of war should be away. The plot,
which was to be accompanied by setting fire to the
town, and the massacre of the Catholics, were flamed
by a number of Greeks of the various islands, and it
is said even of Ithaca, one of the lonian Islands. The
infamous plot happily came to the knowledge of some
persons who privately warned the Primates of
Syra, who in their turn hastened to communicate
till the particulars they had collected to the Euro-
peas agents on the island. The latter immediately
intiirmed the consuls at Smyrna, that they might take
measures to preserve Sera from the danger which
threatened it. Syra is guilty of two great crimes
in the eyes of the Greeks; it has remained faithful
to its Sovereign, and has by this fidelity gained con-
siderable wealth This was more than sufficient to
excite both hatred and cupidity. However, it is
happy for the inhabitants that they have discovered
their danger, and doubtless they will do every thing
to secure themselves against it.
The Speetateur Oriental contains long reflections
en the Greek insurrection, in which it vehemently
reproaches the Greeks fur their proceedings:—
" Your Sovereign, it is true, was the Sultan, and
you are Greeks, but Providence hall given him to
you for many centuries, and you ought to have
respected him. It was not in his power to change
his Government and his religion to please you;
but he left you at all times the free exercise of your
religion, and every year his benefits made you ad-
ValiCc gradually towards your emancipation. Your
credit daily increased in the capita.--your com-
merce absolved every thing—your privileges were
on a footing with those of the Europeans—your in-
creasing wealth enabled you to found every where
rich establishments—your armed merchantmen co-
vered all the seas—your public schools multiplied in
Turkey—the th.wat of the revival of letters already
tinged the horizon with its brilliant colours—the
tree el litb in Greece began to take root, and to put
fort It tender foliage : but, alas! it has been suddenly
blighted by the infectious breath of pernicious sects,
enemies to the repose of the world; it has groaned
beneath the repeated strokes of the ri_volutionary
use, and already bowed to the earth, it is an object
et mourning, when but lately it seemed to encourage

the most delightful ht•pes. Thus from the very lie-
ginning the revolt of the Gretkit appeared t•• be
inconsidentto, itnj•:rt, a•t.l criminal. The cox! of
their liberty appeared in an unfavourable light. In
the midst .•f painful rec•llections, :ma well gmontle4
leers, the vl.•latpnl cr.! pinseilles 1.1 legitittuky
was lamented, which is the sacred foundation ot• the
isteial edifice, and the surest guarantee .if the happi-
ness *.f nations. The means employed by the Greeks
to oli.aits atl illtiCeto which Wad considered to be a
eltiment, have likewise tended tu *pigment the •in-
easineaet that was ti•lt, and alttigeiltet may explai.i
the desire of the Franks fi.r the tiiiiinplt of the Cres-
txmt, WA the safety of the Empire, the integrity of
which they think nceess.ay to the politictl

THE FUNDS, SATUVRDAY%

HALT-PAST Two o'Csocx.
Several expresses Lave arrived this 'malting tit,m
Paris, by which it appears the French funds con-
tinue to tall. They left oil' on l'hurslay at 70f.
4t ic. but in the course of the day they were done as
low as 77f.—Spurish 40. This depression created
great sensation and alarm in our markets--utore
particularly A. the answers of the Seiv.ish Govern.
ment tip the demai•ils of the ftireigli Ambassadors for
their passports, it being thought the Allied Powers
will never brook to the magnanimous reply of the
Spanislt Minister. All foreign securities have ex.
perienced a great fall—the ntarket appearing very
heavy. Owing to the probability that a war will
take place between France and Spain, the great
f.reign stock holders in the city are trying all they
can to keep them up, but the current of the tide
bears down on them, anti all their eiforts are iu vino.

Accounts from Sierra Leone are received to the
9th of November. The Ihiver, 18, Capt. I'. Wol-
ridge, has returned from her cruise: on the Gold
Coast, having taken three slave vessels ; th. last was
the Portuguese brig Counperciante. of four gulls,
249 tons, 30 men, for Bahia, with 17j slaves.--
When these poor creatures sastlerstood the cause of
their release (they here principally females) they
aPlimaclicd the 'deers of the ))river, and fell on
their faces, making every demonstration of joy and
satisfaction. The /)river examined 12 verse's ,luring
the crnizc. The Portuguese Authorities at Elwin*
(Gold Coast) vontintied to assist the Portuguese
slave-vessels with canoes! The Cyreue, 18, Capt.
Percy Grace, haul captured the Dutch schumer
Aurora, off the Gallitias, of 144 tons, fo,ir guns, and
26 men, well armed, with 130 slaves, via. 43 men,
21 women, 24 boys, and 42 girls. She was captured
by the bats of the tyrene, under Lieut. Courteisay.
with the loss of one man killed, and twu severely
wounded, by the batteries. Capt. Grace, in conse-
quence, burnt down several towns and slave factories
belonging to Siacca, the notorious slave dealer.

Late advices from Syria give a ileplorable account
of the sitnation of the inhabitants, who survived the
first shocks of the earthquake. In addition to the
siifFerings pn ducal by hunger, disease, and exposure
to the inclemency of the season, the stench arising
from the number of dead hoilies hail obliged them to
leave the camp they had firmed in the neighbour-
hood of the towns, abandoning ail hope of any reco-
very of their property, and reluctantly forsaking
their habitations.
The Lord Mayor, pursuant to a requisition pr:
[ seined to aim, has called a Common Council for
Wednesday next, to consider of the propriety of
presenting a Petition to Parliament, for Reform in
I
the Representation.
