LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, MARC!! 24, IBM

This being a close Holiday, we have no intel-
ligence from the City.

By letters from Madrid, it appears that the
Council of State has been engaged in delihera.
tions on a proposed increase of the Amu, which
from 30,000, is to be augmented to 50,000,
Infantry and Cavalry. It is asserted that great
difficulty is found-in raising recruits

Paris Papers of the 2211 were received last
It is stated in one of these journals, that
private, letters from St. Petersburg!' mention,
the Emperor Nlcnor.as to have been seized
by eti• alarming 'indisposition, under which . he
suffered for two days, but that he had perfectly
recovered. •
A. rumour is noticed in the Eioile orthe doath

of the Emperor of AUSTRIA, but is positively con.

tradicted, on the authority of private letters from
Vienna, which represent the state of the Est r Eames
health to be improving. In the same Journal it is
stated, that the Emperor of RUSSIA. had confer.
red the Orders of St. Andrew, St. Alexander
Newsky, and St. Ann of the first class, on Count
WETTERSTEOT, the Swedish Mini..ter for Fo-
reign Affairs. These distinguished marks of
favour are interesting at this juncture, as indicat-
ing a cordiality of feeling towards Sweden,
directly contradictory of the rumoured hostile
feelings against the reigning dynasty. Opposed
to this, private letters from Petersburg, hint at
discneeries connected with the late conspiracy,
which have excited an increased vigilance in
the police regulations on the frontiers of Sweden.
It is added that the rapid interchange of cou-
riers between the Swedish and Russian capitals,
bud sitracted much attention.

AVe have received Frankfort and other German
Papers, to the 18th instant. They are barren of
political intelligence, but a communication from
Carlshrue is interesting, in a commercial point
of view, as throwing some light on the late
disastrous speculations on the Continent of
Europe. ft is now asserted, that " the greater
44
part of the raw material, such as Wool and
" Cotton, was not purchased by the► English on
" their own account, but only taken on commis-

lit •
sion, consequently the loss falls on the Consign.
era, while the English Commissioners get ample
4( commission, and good interest for the money
" they have advanced." That such is the fact
generally, as regards the bulk of speculation to
which this assertion makes allusion, will not
obtain credence in this country, from %Ilia,
tt is notorious that immense orders for pur-
chases on direct account were seat, at an

early stage of the mania, even by special
messengers. In some instances, the proprietors
of wool, awl other German produce, tempted by
the unnatural advance of prices in almost every
article of commerce, certainly sent produce
to this Country, for sale on Commi,sion. The
House of the late Mr. GormsctiminT, was
the principal depository of German Wool,
and is known to have made advances on
the property, to so great an extent as to
have materially contributed to the embarrass.
merits which caused their stoppage. As con-
lignees of this large property, they are entitled
to the usual chargey, for commission and lute.
rest on their advances. But what if the amount
advanced should, in the winding up of the account,
prove to have exceeded the actual produce of the
-Goods—a result by no means improbable, from
the rapid fall in the price of wool, and every
'other description of produce. Assuming this as the
final consequence of advancing liberally on con.
signtnents, the complaint of the German mer-
chant is altogether groundless,lnasmuch as he will
have received more than the real value of his men.
chandize. If the commodities thus sent to Eng.
lucid, in the hope of obtaining enormous prices,
were the previous subject of continental specula.
tinny, the foreign speculator has been caught in
his own net, and the real ground of complaint is
oh the side of the too credulous " English Com.
missioner," who has been persuaded into a be-
lief, that the merchandize confided to his care
was of greater value than could be realized.

brings fresh proof of the intensity of
commercial dißt
resskthroughout the Continent of

Europe. The King of SIXONY is stated to have
sent 200,000 dollars to Leipzig, for the relief of

ie merchants t---

CAIILSRUIrE, 111Ancir 12.—The disasters caused by the
commercial crisis have brought some facts to light, which merit
the serious attention of the German Governments and merchants.,
First, it is now shewn, that the greater part of the raw Materials
such as wool and cotton, were not purchased by the English tas
their own account, but only taken in dommissiou ;
the loss falls on the consigners, while the English' Ceintuia:
sioners get ample commission and good interest for the 'money
they have advanced. Secondly, the English manufacturers are
now able to procure, at a cheap rate, from the propiietOrs, who
are pushed on all sides, the raw Materials that are accumulated
in the warehouses; they will. endeavour to depress them as
much as possible, in which they will the more easily succeed
as the English commissioners, regardless of the loss of their
foreign consigners, in order to get their commission and the
money advanced as soon as possible, urge the sale on the tak-
ing back of the goods deposited, and thus secured the ruins of
the manufacturers. The raw materials will therefore be for a
time cheaper in England than in the countries which produced
theist.—(Frankfort Paper:, March 17.)
NUREMIWIIG, Mancrt 14.—0 n the II th of this month
the celebrated composer Mayerbeer arrived here from Milan,
where he passed some weeks, and set out again the next day
to Berlin. lle said that he intended to stop there only a few
days, and then to go to London —The King of Saxony sends
200,000 dollars to Leipsig, to relieve the commercial (listless.
The estate of Ileichenbach will now be better, because the
funds are rising.

We have extracted from a German Paper the
following communications on the affairs of Greece,
which still continue to he involved in inexpli•
cable mystery and confusion :

SMYRNA, FEn. 3.
( From the Oriental Spectator. )

SALAMI(' JAN. 4.—From time to time fugitive ti•rceks ar-
rive here from Athens and other parts of the continent, where
the state of the affairs of the Greeks grow worse every day. '
Goura, who has a fortress under his command, does not think
himself safe there. lie has caused his money and most vain-
able effects to be brought to this island. It is equally remark-
able that all the Greeks at Athens, who were supposed to be re.
solved to defend the place, have also sent hither every thing
they possess, removing only a light covering to protect them
against the raw night air. Should the Turks invade Attica,
and seem disposed to attack the city of Minerva, they would sea
the Greeks, as they have done before, retire to these coasts.—
The Salaminista, who have been innocently involved by cir-
cumstances, respect the Porte, lament the unfortunate state of
affairs, and are inclined, if the Capitan I'acha should make
them a visit, to receive him like faithful subjects. The soldiers
at Athens commit robberies whenever they have an opportunity,
and if complaints arc made to Goura, he answers sarcastically
—" What would you have ?—these poor people must live—
some by robbery on land, and the others by robbery at sea."
" This is the only resource we have left," said one of those
Greeks to me, who some time ago sunk the English cutter
Chambroc—(Qucre—Shamrock.)
CANEA' JAN. 1.--MUStapha Bcy has sent his Lieutenant
with 500 men to the province of Abocorona, to protect the
Greeks and natives in the olive harvest. As it is very rich in
that province it is especially infested by robbers who cannot be
wholly extirpated, because the mountains an'ord them an asylum.
The wise measures now adopted enables the country people to
carry on their labours in the field in safety. Slustapha is still
encamped near Carabusa to observe the mo►ions of the pirates,
who have remained in that little island. Thus the Turks con.
tinue to give fresh proofs of their desire to hinder the Greeks,
who persist in their insurrection, from plundering those who
have submitted.—(Allgetneine Zeitutsg, March 17.)

Yesterday afternoon the Po It U G °ESE AMBAS.
sAnott had a long interview with Mr. Secretary
CANNING, et the Foreign Office.
Sir HENRY HALeotto left town on Wednesday
evening for the Royal Lodge, to attend the
KING, and returned to town yesterday morning.
Letters from Madrid dated the 6th instant
were received yesterday. They state that a
commission has been formed for the purpose of
adjusting the accounts connected with the. British
claims on Spain, and that the Commissioners ap-
pointed by the Spanish Government to meet Mr.
S. CocK, are Senors SALMON and Ilmtuot.t. The.
latter gentleman wits recently recalled front the
Spanish Commission sitting in London. The
Government, it is said, appear to be much
astonished at the account of British claims, of
• which they had not formed any previous con-
ceptimt.
Mr. Bisu has again actively canvassed the
Borough of Leominster, which, we understand,
he left with renewed assurances of success.—
( Hereford Journal.)
The Glasgow Chronicle says, " It is currently
reported, that one of the persons who have vo-
lunteered a journey to London, in defence of
small bank notes, lies sent a letter to Glasgow,
stating that he lied an interview with Mr. lies-
kissun; when he was Wormed that Ministers
were determined to give the benefit of a metallic
currency to every part of the United Kingdom.
CHAMBERS AND SONS' BANKIt UPTC Y.—Yester-
day the creditors to this estate met for the final
examination of the bankrupts, at the Com-
missioners' Court, Basinghall-street. A very
elaborate statement was presented by Mr.Chain-
bers's Solicitor. The gross amount of outstand-
ing debts was estimated at 330,0001., and the
assets were computed at 3,14,000/,, thus leaving
a surplus in favour of the estate of 14,000/,_
Mr. Commissioner itch ECK observed, almost
every item was burthetted with incumbrances of
so heavy a nature, us to leave nothing but a
merely nominal value behind.—Mr- Cilmsfuttts
declared had no wish whatever too over-rate
thel
property. He was then sworn, in the regu-
lar way, to the correctness of his accounts, and
the Meeting adjourned.
We are sorry to state, that Sir Rico Ann SOT.
EON, when out with his hounds on Wednesday
last, had again the misfortune to break his thigh.
The accident occurred a few miles from Canwick,
at which place the hounds threw off that morn-
ing.—(Derby Mercuu.)
Sir BELLvsoiLikst GRAHAM has disposed of his
stud and pack of fox hounds intending to reside
for some time iu Yorkshire. We understand
that two well-known and spirited
sportsmen
have purchased the hounds, which still continue
f to hunt iu Shropshire.--(Doty mem")

W e have just learned by Expresses dispatched from Vienna,
thatall the Public. Funds have experienced a very great de-
cline;. the Metallique.‘ have fallen to IN, and Bank Shares to
990. This fall had beet prepared by very
alarming reports
respecting the health of the Emperor Francis,.wliose situation
had become much worse within thesq,„fbw days t. but it was

LEGHORg, MARCH From a Private Letter. )-4n the
course of last month, a considerable cargo of wheat was sent
from this port consigned to Zante, by the Greet Committee at
Geneva, to be sent to the garrison of Missolonghl. Consider-
ing the favOurable news for the Greeks, which is confirmed
from all quarters, there is reason to hope that this cargo has
reached its destination. The same Committee sent last autumn
to Napoli di Romania 0,000 muskets, on the French model,
with the necessary accompaniment.

PARIS, 31.ancit N.—Private letter's from Trieste, of a very
recent date, say there is a report of a new attack made upon
3lissolonglii, by Ibrahim l'acha, and the result of which is
said to have been entirely in favour of the Greeks. We expect
the particulars of this affair.

(From I>♦e Journal de Paris.)

MAnntn, Manor 9.—(From a Private Letter.)—The last
dispatches from the Havannah speak of the great preparations
for defence which the inhabitants of the Island arc making, at
their own expence, in case of an attack. According to private
letters, there are 9,000 regular troops in Cuba, viz. 7,000 Eu-
ropeans and 2,000 natives.

The Deputies of the Biscayan Provinces now here have just
been called upon for a report of the privileges which their pro-
vinces enjoyed In the time of Charles HI. It seems that the
King intends to restore to them all their ancient privileges,
even those which were taken from them under the Ministry of
Garoy, but on condition of their increasing their annual con-
ttibution to the Public Treasury. Orders have been sent to
the inspector of the baths at Sacedon, to forward the wqrks
of the little Palace of-Queen Isabella. so that it may be able
to receive the King; who. it is said, intends to go thither this
year. General Quesada has been deprived of the command of
tke Province of Seville.

The Council of State has just laid before the King a Re-
port, stating, that in spite of the purifications, persona have
crept into all the til-anches of the administration, whose poli-
tical principles do not harmonize with the system of his Ma-
jesty's Government. The Council, concludes by requiring
a ,parittcation of the F.mpioyees. The King bat sent the
Report to the Council of Ministers to be examined, with
an injunction not to make any change among the per-
sons actually in office, even if the Report of the Council should
be perfectly well-founded, until a very detailed Report shall
have been made respecting that part of the conduct of the offi-
cer which would require his dismissal.

was reported at Paris. Letters from Vienna, of the 14th (in the
evening), say he was better.
