LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 2, 1826.

Some alarm was occasioned yesterday
by the pro-
pagation of reports that serious disturbances had taken
place at St. Petersburgh, and, an embargo placed on
the shipping at Cronstadt ; but it subsided on its being
ascertained that the only foundation for these reports
was a letter received from a person at Cronstadt, dated
the 19th ult., and received in the regular course of
post from Yarmouth.

An event of such importance as an insurrection in
the Capital of the Russian Empire, would be commu-
nicated to this country by some more expeditioul
means, than through a person from Cronstadt to his
private correspondent at Yarmouth ! The letter was
evidently written by an uninformed person, and
carried with it its own` refutation as far as it referred
to matters at Saint Petershurgh. With
er rega rd to
those affairs at Cronstadt,' it will probably prove to
be an exaggeration of a statement communicated
.in
accounts from the Russian Capital up to the I'7th of
May, brought to this country by the steam-boat. In
consequence of the detection of a system of robbery
and smuggling, to a very great extent, at Cronstadt,
the Russian Government had come to the detmih ne-
tion of employing the military to put a stop to tese
practices. Accordingly, active measures to this effect
had been taken, and it is said that they had occasioned
considerable offence. It is also said that the Russian
Government have appointed a Commission to inquire
into the frauds committed in the naval departmentFuld ,
edeal specially
in
tbheeen"iprooiolfuciel
among a certain class of persons, and it was threatened
that the whole subject should be scrutinized with great'
severity. The private communications say nothing re•
davbaly stores. A go•od

had fallen to 9 7-32., which is a shade lower than
by the last accounts.

We mentioned in our City article yesterday, that
notice had been given by the Bank of England, that
. ,
the Directors had come to the resolution of taking 0-
the new 4 per Ceut. Scrip ; or in ether words, of
making the payments on it for those parties who wit;ht
wish for that accommodation, at the rate of 51-
Cent., till the final payment is to be made in islal"rY

next.
As this measure will enable p 13004
d a
New Scrip, to borrow money for the puTP"' of
making the payments on it, it is thought that it "I
ll
tend to remove the weight which has hung over the
Money Market for some time, and which hes Partly
an
arisen from the anticipation of the future payments -
the last Loan. No doubt in the event of any el;
siderable pressure on the Market taking place, I)ers'L
will avail themselves of this accommodation;
can hardly see how it will answer the purse t
holders of the Scrip, to borrow money at this time
the rate of per Cent., to make payments on
liar
Stock which will yield them little more than P
Cent. It will-enable speculators, however, to Carl oiit
their operations more successfully ; and we
help thinking, that we see in this measure, the recoil:
mencement, by the Bank of England, of the
of advancing money on Stook generally--a sy.stel)
'
which, we feel confident, led ito much of the noi°l
tune which has since befallen the monied world.
