A private letter from Zea, in Greece, dated
the 16th September, states that the Greeks have
obtained further successes against the Turks in
Attica and the Island of Subcea. The strong
town of Chalcis, in Eubcea, has fallen into the
possession of the Greeks. It is situated a short
distance from Negropont, the only place in
Euboea remaining in the hands of the Turks,
which is now closely besieged by the Greeks :
and the occupation of Chaleis will enable the
besiegers to carry on their operations more
vigorously.

COLOMBIAN LOAN. We lay before our'
Readers, with much satisfaction, the following
copy of a Notice %,';itlelt was posted this morning
at the Foreign Stock Exchange:—.
" The Contractorz.have received this morning by a Jamaica
Mail a Lett.: trom their Agent at Bagota, Mr. W. C. JoNES,
dated August 9, of which the following is an extract:—
" On the 30th of July I received a note from General San-
tander,* requesting my attendance at the palace at two o'clock.
I accordingly waited on him at that hour, and was informed
that the purpose for which I was summoned was to acquaint
me that the Congress had conferred full powers on the Exe-
cutive to arrange the affair of 'dr. Zea's Loan, and that
he purposed in consequence to recognize the 20t per cent. dis-
count, the interest, and the commission ; that is to say, all the
leading stipulations of the contract. That it only remained for
tl4 Contractors. to !trove that the money had been paid by them
tor the Republic to Mr. Zea's order. To the justice of this he
of course most readily assented, and assured him that you were
quite as desirous to place this point beyond the question as
himself."

• The Vice-President.
t This expression refers to the contract price of this Loan,
which was 80 per cent.

CITY, Twelve o'Clock.--Consols opened this
morning at 820, at which price they remain
steady.—The Expresses from Paris this morning
bring the French Rentes at One per Cent. higher
(89 80.)—Spanish at 31.
FOREIGN MARKET.—A great bustle took place
this morning in the above Market, owing to the
information that the Executive Power of Bogota
had ratified the Colombian Loan, in consequence
of which Colombian Bonds experienced a fluctua-
tion of JO per Cent.: they left otT yesterday at
59, and were done this morning as high as 63.
Thoe was also a great deal doing in Spanish
Bondc, which opened at with a brisk
Market.
one'olC/ock.—Private letters received by ex-
press from Paris state, that there is to be a

new Loan for Spain of 100 millions of francs, to
be guaranteed by the French Government, who
are to take the Old Spanish Bonds in part of
payment for the New Loan. I am also informed
that Lord C. STEwarrr has been absent these
eight days from Paris. It is said that he set off
incog. ; and his destination is supposed to be
Madrid. His Lady and family are at Dover.
Half- past One.—Accounts from Paris state
that it is expected there that the King of
SPAIN intends to sanction the Old Loan in order
to obtain a new one.

ports, nor any public defaulters in Foreign Secu-
rities, although this is Settling Day.

COLOMBIAN REPUBLIC.—It is stated, in ac-
counts received from Carthagena to the 3d Aug.,
that the Province of Gantamalu has joined the
Republic of Colombia. This was to be expected
from the recent events which have taken place
on the Spanish Main, so favourable to the cause
of liberty. The total extinction of the Royalists
in Colombia is not only calculated to inspire con-
fidence in such of the neighbouring provinces as
might be open to their intrigues, but it has
placed at the disposal of the Colombian Govern-
ment a force sufficient to put down all opposi-
tion. Peru, with the aid which it can now give,
may safely calculate on its entire emancipation.
