when it was determined, :bat the Rhole should
be abolished, with "the exi:eption of the Casa du
Supplicacdo, which was to remain on the footing
of a Court of Appeal. 11 -Board has been esta-
blished_ in Lisbon

M. Jose -Portelli and Dr. GregoriO .Seikas
have been appointed Members,. with a large

,Cortes.—General
Rego, •the late Governor of Pernambuco, .had
arrived at Lisbon in a French brig. The project
of .a. law for the establishment of a National
Bank had been approved of, with some few alte-
rations, and it was expected would be imme
diately sanctioned .by the King.---L-The effect of
this circumstance on the market at Lisbon was
SO great, as to improve the value of the paper
currency very considerably. In conformity to
Decree of the Cortes, an order had been issued
by the Finance Minister, for the sale of certain
portions of the public property, for which pay-
ment could only be received in paper money.

rMORNING POST.]
At a late hour last night a Flanders Mail
brought us Brussels Papers to the 20th instant.
They contain interesting and important intelli-
gence from Greece, conveyed in letters from
Corfu, of the 18th of December. The'C reeks
are stated to have made themselves masters of
Patras on the 2d-of last month, after a most ob-
stinate attack, which had been preceded by se-
veral attempts in which they had failed. Bub.'
what seems still more auspicious to their
cause, is the proposal said to have been
made by the Turkish Commander of Acro-
Corinth, the citadel of Corinth, and the real
key of the Peloponnesus, to espouse their
cause, if they would restore his son, made
prisoner at Tripolizza, and leave him the
command of his corps of 20,000 Albanians and
the undisturbed possession of all his treasures.—
This offer was transmitted to the Senate of Ca-
'amnia, who referred it to the consideration of
the Military Chiefs. Their decision was not yet
known, but it was anticipated that they would
not treject so. advantageous a proposal, and the
war was looked upon as terminated in that quar-
ter. The fortress of Modon had surrendered,
and Napoli di Romania was little more than a
heap of ruins. Prince Demetrius. Ypsilanti had
assumed the title of General in Chief of the army
of Coron. The Government is represented as daily
acquiring strength and credit, especially since fo-
reign adventurers had been removed from the
direction of affairs. Deputies from -the various
provinces were proceeding to Calamata, and the
great National Assembly was expected to open
its Session at the commencement of the present
year. These symptoms of a regular organization
are fully as gratifying_ as the gain of battles, as
they show that the Greeks possess not only bra-
very to regain empire, but wisdom to give empire
both form and consolidation. The intelligence
from Vienna states, that instead of making pre-
parations to evacuate Moldavia and Wallachia,
the Turks have lately sent several Asiatic corps
into those provinces, and that their army in
that quarter now amounts to 80,000 men.

[NEW TIMES.]
Consols for the Account opened yesterday
morning at 76. In the course of the day more
business was done than has been the case for some
days'past ; but in the afternoon the 3 per Cents.
declined to nil. They, however, shortly after
recovered, and left off at 768 buyers. If expe-
rience had not taught us with what facility
unfounded rumours obtain credence, if confi-
dently asserted, we should have been somewhat
surprised that any person could have seriously
believed the report of an intended tax of 2* per
cent, on Funded property exclusively. Such
a report, however, has not only been circulated ;
but we believe it has been one chief cause
of the depression of the Stocks. It is, there-
fore, necessary to contradict it in the most posi-
tive terms. No such tax is intended, nor will it
be acceded to on the part of Government. It
would amount to a breach of faith with the public
creditor, and therefore cannot be sanctioned by
his Majesty's Ministers; nor would it be less im-
politic than unjust. The monied capitalist would
withdraw his investment in the English Funds,
and carry them to other countries. . Our Stocks
would therefore fall, and foreign Stocks would
rise. The interest of money would increase, and
the principal would become more scarce ; and
this at a time when the distress of our Agricul-
turists peculiarly requires.a facility of obtaining
pecuniary accommodation on moderate terms.
