on that Point. The following are extracts:—

the decision of the Porte, and have

were rejected.

(S‘PA IN.)

" 'RUN, AUG. 14.—The cause of the Greeks
is an object-of general interest to all Spaniards.
On the Ist of- this, month a vessel fitted out at
the expence of several private individuals sailed
from Barcelona with ten thousand muskets, as
many swords, a large quantity of powder, shot,
and other military stores, for the use of the
Greek insurgents, who are fighting for their in-
dependence. Several Neapolitan and Piedmon-
tese Engineer and Artillery Officers, with a few
Spanish volunteers, went on board to offer their
services to our brethren in Greece. Two Cata-
lonian monks wished to embark in this little
expedition ; and when the vessel left the port,
an immense crowd assembled to witness her
departure.

" Other vessels are getting ready-, and many
mercantile houses have entered into speculations
from which they expect to derive great advan-
tages. During the last few days many
.brave
and experienced French Officers passed through
this town, with the intention of embarking for the
Greek Isles from our ports by the first favourable
opportunity : among them we observed a Lieu-
tenant-Colonel of Artillery, under Napoleon,
who served it: Egypt."

TnE FuNos.—The Market opened very heavy
this morning, and the house was exceedingly fu!!,
all eager to obtain the first price, in consequence
of the expected war between the Turks and Rus-
sians, which caused a panic between the Buyers
and Sellers.—Much business was transacted in
consequence of the return of the parties from
Paris.who proceeded there to bid for the Loan.
Consols opened at 75, and the Funds looked
downwards until 11 o'clock, when they recovered,
and, at 12 o'clock, were 75k.

The Ultimatum of the Russian Government,
delivered to the Porte on the 18th ult., was ac-
companied, according to the advices from Con-
stantinopie, by an intimation, "that " f the Turks
do not conduct themselves better in future, the Al-
lied Powers will not allow them to remain longer
in Europe." It might be supposed that this plain
language, addressed to a Power at war with its
own subjects, destitute of internal vigour, of re-
sources, of a well disciplined army, and of Al-
lies, would at once awe it to submission, and se-
care, for the present at least, the continuance of
peace, or rather the further sufferance of a
nuisance which disgraces all Christendom. But
those persons who apply any of the ordinary
maxims of prudence or policy to the Turks, be-
tray utter ignorance of the character 'and
condition of that barbarous people, and
of the nature of their Government. Though
the SULTAN and his Divan apparently exer-
cise uncontrolled power, and though they
might be disposed to make the most abject sub-
missions to Europe, for the purpose of being al-
lowed to retain a little while longer their tyran-
nous.authority, yet the question of peace or war
does not really depend upon them, but upon the
will of the ignorant populace and the ferocious
soldiery, who have too little foresight, and are
too obdurate and brutal, to calculate the conse-
quences of their own blind fury, which, once
roused, is not to be restrained by any thing but
superior force. That very threat, therefore,
which is calculated to humble and subdue the
arrogance of the Government, will probably
have no other effect on the Turks themselves
than to rouse their fierce and ungovernable pas-
sions, in which case the Sultan must yield to
their demands or pay the price of his temerity
with his head. The Russian Ultimatum, it is
said, demands--

Ist. The evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia.
2d. Amnesty to the Greeks.
3d. The property of Greeks who have become Russian Sub-
j ects to be preserved to them.
4th. The re-establishment of all the Greek Churches.
Lth. Free navigation of the Dardanelles, full and complete.
6th. Full and complete indemnification to the Greeks for the
loss of property already destroyed,
.and security against any
future destruction.

7th. An ample and public apology to Baron STnoccworr,
for the continued insults which the Porte had offered him.
Before our paper is put .to press,,we may pro-
bably receive more accurate and authentic infor-
mation on the above points, and perhaps even
the decision of the Porte respecting them. It is
evident that affairs between
,Russia and Turkey
are at length brought to a crisis ; and that many
days cannot now elapse before the anxiety of
Europe respecting this most interesting and im-
portant subject is satisfied. It is thought, indeed,
that the British Government is already in posses-
sion of the final, determination of the Sultan,
though there may be reasons for not suffering the
intelligence to transpire through the medium of
the British Ministry. We look for the next ar-
rivals with the greatest impatience.

Halifax Papers to the 4th of August arrived

us morning.

Our files of Jamaica Papers to the Ist July
bring accounts that the crops in several parts of
the Island have sustained serious injury, by a
long and distressing drought. The Euryalus has

taken horne a large sum in specie. The Tartar
frigate, from the Coast of Africa, was daily
ex-
pected at Port Royal, for the purpose of taking
his Grace the tonke.Of MANGIIESTER to England.
Accounts from the Havannah represent that place
to be very sickly.—A vessel has arrived at Sa-
lem, which made one of the 36 sail, mostly Spa-
nish, which left Laguira on the 19th Jdrie full
of troops, and citizens with their property.
QUEBEC, JUNE 18.—Arrived the ship Nassau,
from Waterford, with 106 settlers ; brig Marga-
ret, from Greenock, 26 settlers ; schooner James,

merce, from Greenock, 422 settlers ; ship David,
from Greenock, 364 settlers.
HAVANNAH, JULY B.—Arrived the British
frigate Euryalus, W. BIGLAND, eight days from
Kingston.

It is with no slight satisfaction that we refer
our Readers to the account of the proceedings of
the SUFFOLK PITT CLUB in our Paper of this
day.—(See the fourth page.)—The foundation of
the original. PITT CLUB i❑ the Metropolis was
measure calculated at once to do honour to the
memory of an Illustrious Statesman, and the
purest, wisest, and most disinterested Minister
any country ever possessed, and to support a Po-
litical Constitution, comprehending and uniting.
the security of the Throne, the happiness of the
People, and the honour of the Country. It must
therefore be highly gratifying to_ the frie-nds- of
the country to see that the institution of Pro-
vincial Pitt Clubs is gradually proceeding ; and
we cherish the hope that the principles on which
they are founded will diffuse a general spirit of
loyalty and attachment to the. Constitution tha t
may firmly defy the malevolence of Faction, and
contemptuously reject the visionary schemes of
empirical Reformers.

The Chevalier D'ANDUASA, and suite, Envoy
Extraordinary- and 'Minister Plenipotentiary
from the Court of Spain to the United States,

THE THEATR E.-The Romance of The Moun-.
taineers, one of Mr. COLMA N'S best dramatic
works,. was represented last night at the Hay-
market Theatre. Mr. CON WAY acquitted himself
very ably in the part of Octavian. He is evident! y
improved since his retreat from the London
boardS. His action is more easy. Ii is performance
was marked by feeling and energy. The Floranthc
of Mrs. CHATT ER LEY deserves a particular no;
tice. It proved that she is capable of represent-
ing parts of the pathetic kind as well as those of
gaiety. They were both much applauded. The
new Piece, entitled Match-Making, brought for-.
ward for the first time on Saturday, was repeated.
last night with confirmed success. The plot
forms an agreeable intricacy, by the contrariety
and false assumption of characters, all of which
are well adapted to the several Performers.
The Piece is recommended by intrinsic merit,
and is admirably supported by TERRY, JON IS,
DECAMP, OXBER Y, and Mrs. CHATTER LE Y.
TRIUMPHAL A nen AT HOLYII EA D.-A t a meet-

arch under' which .his MAJESTY passed at his
landing on the Pier of Holyhead harbour, to
commemorate the auspicious event. A subscrip-
tion to carry the' measure into effect has already
been opened, at the head of which the Marquess
of ANGLESEA stands for fifty guineas, and Sir
J. T. STANLEY, for thirty guineas.
A. public Meeting of the principal Inhabitants

DARING STREET ROBBERIES.-Within the last
fortnight a mcst formidable gang of ruffians have infested
Eishopsgate-street Without.—Tuesday a Gentleman was et.
tacked near Houndsditch, about nine o'clock in the evening by
the gang, one of whom tapped him en the shoulder,
and at that instant another snatched a silver wat,ch from
his fob ; they all escaped.—Wednesday eveninry, .a Lady,
whilst standing at the corner of Widcgate-alley, had her
reticule, containing two silver watches and some trinkets;
snatched out of her hand, with which the thieves got
off:—The same night, and near the same spot, another Lady
had her reticule taken from her, in which was a sovererm anu
some silver.—Saturday night, about ten o'clock, a Gentkman
named Edwardson, residing at Mile-end, was knocked down in
Half,moon-alley, and robbed of ils. Gd. and his pocket-bor*,
which luckily contained nothing of any value.
