BANKS IN GREECE

PATaAS, Arm 24, 1841.—The Government has at length
published its law for the establishment of a National Bank by
shares, with a capital of five millions of drachmes, of which
three are to be hard cash, and two paper money. This law is
sent round to all the capitalists in Europe, in the hope of in-
ducing them to furnish the funds requisite to put the Bank in
operation, for not a single share is yet taken, nor likely to
be taken, so long as the affairs of Greece are in the hands of
a swarm of hungry foreigners, who alone possess the King's
confidence.

But the Commercial Bank established by our countrymen at
this place and the Piraeus, with two millions of drachmes capital
in cash, and conducted on honest and independent principles,
free from all political bias, and asking no privilege of the Court,
is in active operation, although scarcely two months have elapsed
since the Royal charter was signed. It is both poputar with the
Greeks, and will become highly beneficial to the country and pro-
fitable to the shareholders. The success of this British bank has ex-
cited the envy of M. Eynard, the ci-devant banker of Capod'ls-
trias, and of the Intendant of Finance, M. Regny, both of whom
hoped that King Otho would have granted them a monopoly of
banking in Greece, by which they might inundate the coun-
try with paper money, and have an opportunity of converting
the old Greek bonds (of which M. Eynard is a large
holder) on favourable terms. I will not recount all the intrigues
practised by M. Regny and the Court clique to bring about
their views. M. Eynard at length, unable longer to stifle
his ill humour at the Royal charter to the Commercial Bank,
accuses the Piraeus manager in the Journal des Debats of being
an usurer, to which caluminous attack that gentleman has given
an ab!e contradiction in the Greek papers. Mr. Eynard and
his Bavarian, French, and Russian friends in Greece, cannot
bear to see British enterprise successful and popular : they
hate England and Englishmen, because we will not quietly put
up with their impertinence. They will do us all the harm
they can, but fortunately their power of doing harm is dispro-
portionate to the will.

LABOURS OF THE FRENCH CHAMBERS.--
" The Chamber of Deputies," the Debuts observes, " assem-
bled in its Committees the day before yesterday, and this was
probably for the last time this Session. The subjects of their
discussion was the Bill for regulating the duties on beet-root
sugar, the principal provision of which is a heavy penalty
against fraud upon the revenue, the fines being put down at
from 100 f. to 500 f., and the Bill for continuing the privilege
of the Rouen Bank until 1864. This bank has been in ex-
istence from an VI., 1797-1798, under different forms. Its
primitive capital was original}, 100,000 f., but has since been
brought progressively up to 2,500,000 f. Its prosperity has
gradually increased. During 1840, the number of bills dis-
counted was 27,610, amounting in value to about 52,500,000 f.
The Committees seem to he generally of opinion ,that these
measures cannot be brought into discussion before the recess,
but they intend to enter immediately upon their examination,
so that they may he in a position to make their reports before
the closing of the Chambr‘rs."
A Correspondent writes from Naples on the
26th ult., that Lord Brougham, who had been stopping there
a fortnight on a visit tQ a relation who was ill, had returned to
Rmle. During his stay his LadshiLi ioet with the most marked
attention from his fellow-countrymen, and was received at
. Court with every distinction. Lord Ipswich, newly attached
to the British Embassy at Naples, had arrived, and was about
to be presented to the King of the Two Smiles..
