CITY, MONDA EVENING.

The Prevoyante, Antwerp ship, from Havan-
nail, was captured by pirates off the Collorados on the 14th
July, was entirely plundered of her valuable cargo, and was
burnt on the 14th of August.
Mails have arrived at the Post-office this morning from Franc;
Flanders, Holland, and Lisbon, but they do not communicate
any politic l jq~g3li~o~~~Rfo j'AP.VOIWRA ewaveh Siv.rek;-.BL.Veta-;
state, that a generous spirit of devotion to their country had arisen
in the Morea ; and that all the Grecian male population had
joined the military service, and thus done what in them lay to
accomplish the liberation of their illustrious country. From Lis-
bon, on the contrary, private advises are not so favourable. The
Kingdom of Portugal will not surrender her rights in the Bra-
zils, and another expedition of 1500 men was about to proceed
to Bahia—.vain effort ! The communications from Verona are so
far satisfactory, that the maintenance of peace for the present
may be considered certain. The Holy Allied Despots cannot
take one step against the liberties of mankind which will
not produce results very different from their intentions ; and it
is well known that the Emperor AranwiDEß will make the de-
liberations as short as possible. His return to St. Petersburgh
on the 15th December at the latest, is calculated on. He feels
deeply hurt at Austrian and English interference in his views on
Turkey, and his ueople are equally
.indignant at the high tone
held by the Sublime Empire against the efforts of Russia
in favour of the Grecian Christians in European Turkey.—
His army on the Pruth is literally without clothing, and, at tlic
present moment, cotton-shirting for the officers, at 6d. per yard,
or about I Bd. a shirt, is shipping in London to supply the wants
of Russian Gentlemen. What would the Dandies at the Horse-
Guards say to tin 18d. shirt?
From St. Petersburgh the letters are dated on the I4th ult.
At that time the Exchange was 10 1-32 on London, and about
2,000 casks of tallow had been bought at 110 roubles. It is
considered that this purchase completes the time bargains of
an extensive importer, and will enable him to deliver, with
little loss, all his contracts to the great speculators, without pay-
ing them any differences.
This was a holiday at the Stock Exchange, but some time
bargains were effected-on the Royal Exchange at rather higher
prices. Consols opened at 82i for the November settlement,
and closed at 82+ buyers. In Foreign Securities the business
done has been unusually small. The Spanish have again de-
clined. The priests and smugglers are certainly more nume-
rous than was expected ; but still the friends of Spanish liberty
will soon put them down, if the Holy Alliance does not take the
part of their Pioneers of the Faith. The Colombian Bonds are
also again lower. It would be well if those who put forth
statements on the subject were to authenticate them by their
names, that the public might know the authority to which they
are entitled.
