There is a general dearth and langour regard-
every:thing immediately connected with the
Janis!) interests exclusively, whilst every trifling
circumstance regarding Foreign States, that care
not one pin for England, is watched with the
Most anxious feeling, and evidently excites matter
of' great curiosity. To prove this, we may refer
simply to the Money Market. The British Funds
are now altogether considered matter of trivial
importance, whether they advance ,or fall in
vgiffe,; people here appear to- care but little
about them,. and but few take the trouble to in-
quire; but if the least repOrt is circulated, Or the,
least whisper abroad.. ,regarding Spain,
Greece,
Turkey,"Russia, or any of the newly-established
States of South America, all:persons Ore then in
the greatest state:of:anxiety, ptiblic expeepition
is raised on the tiptoe, and all eftre are ,pened
hear, although, perhaps, half of those who

I listen understand not what they hear. —A
report of a great victory, obtained by
either the Greeks or the Turks, by a
Royalist Spanish General, or a Republican South
American, provided the story be seriously told,
and the truth of it gravely vouched for, even by
the man who himself perhaps fabricated it,
obtains notoriety, is instantly believed, and the
scrip of Greece, the bonds of Portugal, Brazil,
Mexico, Colombia, Chili, Buenos Ayres, &c.,
rise and fall, exactly to suit the whole of the
party who first propagates the report ; and it too
often happens that a portion of the Publie Press
give these reports, with unlimited confidence,
without waiting-to inquire even into the probe.
bility of their truth. The story told yesterday
efteti•noon, and re-told this morning, of the
success of Bolivar, we think, is one that ought
to be received with suspicion ; it is a story
that has been so often told, and so frequently
vouched for, by interested parties, on both sides
the question, and afterwards proved to be false,
that, until a regular official document is produced,
containing the announcement of the fact, we will
not believe it. If the fact be really as stated,
and received from Begota, the official announce.
ment ought to have arrived; but, again, if true, ac-
counts ought to have been received of it by way of
Panama. The facts are, however, before the pub-
lic, and it must judge for itself. The alleged vic-
tory caused a very considerable advance in South
American Securities ; and yesterday the Old
Bonds of Colombia had been done as high as
83+, without the dividend of 3 per cent. on them
just' due, which, added, makes them 861, and
the New Bonds closed at 85 to I. Mexican
Bonds were as high as 67f yesterday, and
closed at 66+, whilst, in every similar description
of Securities, a similar advance had taken place ;
but whether the story which causes this is, or is
not, founded on truth, time alone can decide.

• [MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We understand there was a very full Meeting
of the Greek Committee yesterday, to receive a
communication from Mr. Blaquiere, connected
with his recent visit to Greece; when, after the
perusal of a letter addressed by him to the Secre-
tary, preparatory to his publishing a second Re-
port on the Affairs Of the Confederation, the fol-
lowing Resolution was unanimously carried :--
"*ltesolved, That the COmmittee are fully in--
pressed with the activity and zeal ivith, which
Mr. Blaquiere has exercised his best energies for
the aid of the Greek cause since his
.departure
fur England and they cannot but offer him the
testimony of their-admiration, for the generous
devotion with which he rendered himself per-
sonally responsible' for the pecuniary aid he was
the instrument 'of procuring to the Greek Go-
vernment, at a crisis of great difficulty and peril."

The following is err extract of a Private Letter
received in town yesterday from Mavrocordato.
It is dated from. the Prince's .head-quarters at
Lidoritzi, in Acarnanio, Sept. sth :—" Our ope-
rations against Arta nad the neighbouring dis-
tricts have been crowned with the greatest Suc-
cess. Omer Paella still continues shut up in his
old position at Carviiniara, and it is in vain that we
have made several attempts to induce hith to des-

ed our plan, instead of advancing, ay.! had hopedat the time, and when the Passes' were left open,
he retired with•the whole of his forCes. to Car-
vunsara. Now that his retreat on Arta is cut off,
it is more than probable 'he will endeavour to
gain Nonitza, and this can only' be effected by
the aid of his cavalry, in which we are as yet de-
ficient. In the ' event of my being able to de-
tach a part of the flotilla at Missolunghi, to pre-
vent his crossing the Gulf of Prevesa, I enter-
tain a confident hope of his total destruction.--

EN EIV TIM Eq.]
There was little 'Alteration in the Funds yes.'
terday, as there were no-foreign arrivals. Consols
closed at 9t14 for the Account.—Upon the sub.
jest of the South American intelligence there
continues to be much doubt; and it will be re-
collected by those who take an interest in the af.
fairs of that quarter of the world, that reports simi-
lar to the present existed last year about this
time, when the :Royalist Generals Canterac and
Valdez were asserted to have been defeated,
and the former taken prisoner by General Sucre,
commanding the Colombian forces. Some time
must elapse before we receive further accounts ;
in the interval, the prices of the. securities
maintain their late advance. Mexican bonds
yesterday .reached; 677, but closed rather lower.
'Colombian bonds were at 85, exclusive of the
dividend ; and those of the last loan at the same
price. Brazilian Scrip the same as the preceding
day. The French Rentes were done at 103, and
the Scrip at .15 per cent. premium. Russian
Bonds were one half per cent. above par. In the
Shares of the New Marine and Alliance Compa-
nies there was much business done at the prices of
the preceding day.

[MORNING POST.]
At a late hour last night an express brought us
'rend) Papers to the Ist inat.. and the Elulle of
Monday. Their contents stilt relate chiefly
to' the events of the struggle in 'Greece,
which daily assumes a most promising as-
pect. There is no doubt that the feeble
claim halt, put forth by the Turks than advantage
in one of the • naval actions which took. place
in September, had no, other foundation than
the number of fire-ships burned by. the Greeks•
themselves in their'successful attempt to destroy
the large vessels of the enemy. This is about
as' wise as if a beaten General were to call him.
self, triumphant because his conqueror had spent
much ammunition in driving hit,, off the field,—
Fire-ships are in fact mere ammunition to the
Greeks. They use them as•others do powder
,and shot, and the • number exliloded in an ac-
tioii proves that they have made great efforts, but
not •that they have sustained any loss, In •this
instance we have the authority of the Austriah
!Observer itself to say that the,• injury which
they inflicted upon the Ottoman fleets was tally

equal to their own, which, translated into impar-
tial language means, far superior. It now ap-
pears from accounts dated Zante, October 1, that
it was in that very action that Ibrahim Bey,
, son to the Pacha of Egypt, and the French
• Renegado, who filled a high post in the Egyp-
, tian fleet, were taken prisoners. They were con-
veyed to Napoli di Romania, and treated with
the humanity due to persons in their situation.
These accounts also confirm the important
fact, that the vessel on which they were found
contained eight millions of Turkish piastres, in
gold and silver coin, which were probably in-
tended to pay the sailors or the land troops, and
which will now be turned to the same use by the
Greeks, but in a juster cause. In addition to
this unexpected supply, the brig Florida, from
London, had arrived at Napoli on the 23d of
September, with the third instalment of the
Greek Loan, amounting to 1,800,000 francs.—
Whilst the Turks are losing men, vessels, and
money in fruitless efforts against a people whom
they had so long oppressed that they scarcely
thought them worth combating when the banner
of independence was first raised in the Mores,
the Greeks, deserted, by Kings and Em-
pires, but assisted by individuals, and visibly,
protected and guided by Providence, are in-
creasing in power, 'not only to maintain the
ground and the glories they have won, but to
extend the march of emancipation to the whole
of the countries once possessed by their ances-
tors, and too long occupied by encamped, Barba-
rians. On land their successes have not been
less decisive than at sea. We described yester-
day the disinters" which had befallen Derwisch
Pacha in Thessaly. In Epirus the other Otto
man Commanders had been equally unfortunate,
and the Greek armies had taken post at Bouila,
within a mile of Joannina, the siege of which it
was expected they would shortly commence.--
The mountaineers of Pindus, who had hitherto
remained quiet spectators of the struggle, had
at length risen in arms, and Arta, half-con-
sumed in the different . conflicts of which
it had been the theatre, had fallen into the
hands of the Christian's, whilst the Suliotes
`had regained and repossessed their native moun-
tains. From the additional details given in
this communication from 'Zante, of the visit of.
Sir Frederick Adam to Napoli di Romania, no'
doubt can be entertained of its having taken
place. lie was accompanied by his Lady, who
being of Greek origin, and a native of Corfu, is
said. to have displayed great interest in the cause
of her countrymen.

to. the Greeks, for, besides the energies that
belong to their cause (than which a nobler cannot
beconceived) they will acquire, by degrees, such
habits of discipline, and such skill in war, as
would alone enable them to triumph over a bar-
barons enemy, whatever advantages the latter may
claini from his numerical superiority. At the same
time, every Greek takes an active part in the
struggle ; whereas the Turks confide their
quarrel to the usual military force of the Empire)
or to levies raised on the sudden, which melt as
suddenly as the aspect of danger or difficulty.
'This' marked difference will exist between the
two nations, as longas the territory of the Greeks
is the theatre of hostilities. But should the scene
shift, and the war approach the ueighbourhood
of the Turkish capital, as it must, in the course
of events, the advantage which one side has
at present of warring with the whole strength
of the nation, will be balanced ; though, in
this war of extermination, victory will be nailed
to the banner, capable of inspiring the greater
share of enthusiasm and constancy. The Greeks,
it will be seen, on reference to the German
Papers which have reached us since our last,
have illustrated this campaign 1)7 another
naval victory ; and, amongst their trophies,
they reckon, it is said, the capture of a
vessel laden with a large sum of money belong,
ing to the Pacha of Egypt. The son of the lat-
ter, as well as the celebrated Ismael Gibraltar,
together with a nephew of the Bey of Tunis, are
also stated to have fallen into their hands; and
if this intelligence receive only a partial confir-
mation, it would place their cause on an eleva-
tion from which it may safely deride any fu-
ture efforts of its enemies. But it is reported
that the Holy Alliance mean to interfere, and
give the Greeks as strong marks of their
tutelary oars as they have exhibited towards the

this an idle report, as well un potent

out Russia, from the palace to the cottage, in fa-
vour of the Greeks, forms an insuperable bar; and
to this national feeling the policy of the Emperor
must give way, Austria cannot interfere alone,
and she would appeal in vain to any other Power,
to perform for her a service to which she is
wholly unequal herself, The Greeks have there-

and they

have given in this campaign such de.
that it may be safely said they are certain to
retain it during the rest of the war.
