which money is obtained .for a vecqic object, a
superintendence be the duty of the persons
-entrusted with it, the holy cause for which the Greek
Loan was raised, demanded that its appropriation
should be watched with a thousand times more than
ordinary vigilance. But what was the fact ? Many of
the parties who had undertaken the sacred trust, never
attended to it at all ; and thus others were enabled to
convert it to their own selfish and speculative purposes.
Amongst the men who so neglected, or betrayed
their duty, are to be found some of the most promi-
nent of the systematic opponents of the Government--
men, too, who were the last props of the Wing Party,
and who boasted of all those patriot feelings which
once adorned the professors of that creed. The poli-
tical
party to which they belong, has been thus de-
graded still further, in fact, it is annihilated,

" And, like the baseless fabric of a vision,
Leaves not a wreck behind."

His Majesty's Ministers are consequently left in
possession of the " vantage ground"--they acquire
strength by comparison in public estimation, and will
improve the advantage which fortuitous circumstances
have thus given them, by an adherence to that line of
policy which, in other periods of distresss, has trium-
phantly carried the country through seas of difficulties,
to prosperity and happiness.

The American Papers notice the meetings in
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and other States, of the
friends of Mr. Adams, and General Jackson, as Can-
didates for the next Presidency. From which it would
appear, that considerable excitement has already been
shown by both parties ; the friends of Gen. Jackson
appear to have been very violent, and personal assaults
took place on their opponents, whom they threatens 4
tvith Jackson law.

THE FUNDS.

CITV) Twelve o' Clock.

Scarcely a bargain has been fatted in the British Funds since
the opening of the market ; Cositile have been 814 for nraney,
and 814 t for account, without any variation. IndiA Bonds are
'educed to S 6 8, and Exchequer Bills are 20 2 pm. In the
Foreign Funds considerable anxiety was felt by the spectators be-
fore the opening of the market, it being knuwn that the Jamaica
packet had arrived, as well as the Corinthian, New York packet
ship, at Liverpool. The information hitherto known to have
come by these conveyances has not tended to satisfy the expecta-
tions of 'lose concerned in Mexican and Colombian Bonds ; it is
indeed said that the Jamaica packet has on board 70,000 Dollars,
bitli these are believed to he on Merchants' accounts,—not a Dollar
for the Colombian Government. The manifest of the Specie on
beard tax not been received at the Bank, and consequently there
is some uncertainty until this document arrives ; in the mean time
