CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

Private letters have been received from Odessa, of the Ist
curt.' They contain.no news of political_importance ; and, at
their date, the same uncertainty continued respecting the issue
of their disputes with Turkey. There is still some chance that
the freedom of trade may, be continued to this place, on a pro-
per representation being made to the Court at St. Petersburgh.
,Smuggling, under the late system, no doubt has taken place ;
but the injury done by it to the-government and to the fair
trader, can bear no proportion to the mischief which must re-
sult m depriving the Russian Empire of
_the benefits pro-
duced to that City by liberal and unrestricted commerce.--It
appears now to be ascertained that the fortress of Corinth sur-
rendered in the first week of February. It is reported to have
contained 25 millions of piastres, or about 700,0001. As soon as
the Greeks form a regular system of government, their friends
in England expect their cause to be successful, even without
the assistance of any of the Christian States in Europe.—Very
little -business has been done in the English Funds, and the
prices
._of the Consols have remained nearly at the opening
price of- 80i for the April account. The May account was
begun and done at 81 a. 81f. In the morning few transactions
took place in Foreign Securities, but they increased as the day
advanced, particularly in the Spanish, and -their value is much
the•same as yesterday. There is little demand for the French
funds, the private letters from that kingdom not bringing news
very satisfactory.—There is a great dulness in West India pro-
duce. Coffee is 2s. cheaper; and there is very little demand
for it. Sugar is likewise very heavy, but no visible decline in
its price has taken place.—No business has been done in Rum
since the Government contract. The holders of this article
still confidently expect an advance in its value as soon as the
Bill for promoting a fre6 intercourse betwixt the Colonies and
America is before the public.. Indeed a, great deal of the fu-
ture comfort of the labouring_ classes now depends on the deci-
sions of the Committees on foreign .commerce.—lrish produce
continues extremely unsaleable, and there is no. immediate ,
prospect of nny improvement. —All the Foreign Mails, except
one French, still remain due.
