complained that he was, by a sort of conspiracy,
cruelly and unjustly held up to the hatred and
execration of mankind.

Extracts from the French Papers will be found
in another column. It is said that the Servians
have revolted ; but this, though not at all impro-
bable, requires confirmation.

By the following extracts from German Papers
received this morning, it will be seen that the
eause of the Greeks begins to look brighter :

ANCONA, XARCII

By a vessel from the lonian Wands we have received
accounts from Zante of the 20th of this month, which give
the important intelligence that all the Greek ships of war
and merchantmen at Zaute had, with the permission of the
Government, hoisted their national flag on the 18th, a
proof that the new Government of Greece is considered as
likely to be consolidated, and that England recognises its
independence. The respect of the Greeks for Count Cap,
d'lstrias is said to be boundless---his commands are
blindly obeyed, and in all the provinces private and public
affairs are gradually assuming an appearance of order, re-
gularity, and obedience of which there was before no notion.
Count Capo d'lstrias will return from Napoli to Egina.
No Creek ship can now sail from any port without per-
mission in writing from the President, by which a salutary
check is put upon piracy.
Sixty-eight transports have arrived in the Archipelago
from Alexandria, to carry home the Egyptian troops still
remaining in the Nlorea, respecting which negeciation•
have been going on with Ibrahim since January, but who
was obliged first to wait his father's instructions. The
Egyptians have entirely evacuated Tripolizza, and assem-
bled on tire coast between Modon and Navarin. Tripo-
lina is little more than a heap of ruins; the greater part
of the town was burnt and abandoned by the inhabitants.
'lle letters from the camp of General Church again
'peak of the capture of Anatolico, and of the hope of the
speedy surrender of Alissolongbi.
A convey of 20 sail, with ammunition and provisions,
hound from Alexandria to Candid, was overtaken by a
storm near Damitti, and most of the ships sunk with their
crews.

Letters from Alexandria, of Feb. 21, say, that in conse-
quence of the decrease of piracy, the Levant trade was be-
ginning to revive, and several convoys were ready to sail
to different ports in the Mediterranean, especially Leghorn
and Marseilles.

TRIFSTI, RCH 31.
Our accounts from the Archipelago are to the 24th of
February.
It appears that Count Capo d'lstrias was engaged about
that time on an important military operation, which would
require the whole military and naval force of Greece, and
that orders had been sent to all the military commander,
t 0 act for the execution of a common plan. A corps of
1,800 infantry is said to he assembled near.Napoll; a corps
4,000 infantry near Trezene, and a third, of troops of
all descriptions near Corinth ; and all are employed in pre-
Para, tion.s for future operations. Similar orders are said to
L'oe been sent to General Churz.b, who is still in his old
Position, near Dragomestre. Count Car d'lstrias em-
harked on the 19th of February, on board the 'Wm-spite,
141' Poros. All the foreign and Greek ships which were
'o the harbour of Egina, accompanied the Count. A new
life appears to animate the whole population of Greece, and
the dangerous spirit of insubordination appears to have left
the troops. since the President takes care that they receive
their pay punctually, and even distributes presents ou
'very occasion when they perform any thing remarkable.
Altus the the Arabs and Turks, on the contrary, all discipline
has vanished, to which the battle of Navarin, and the dis-
trft, which the troops suffer, have chiefly contributed.—
Whole bands of Turkish marauders are said now to be met
With in the Morea, who traverse the country in search of
Plunder, under leaders of their own choosing. The
Turkish fortresses are likewise in the greatest want of pro-
visions, and the districts in which the Turkish troops are
ultrer much from want of provisions. It is therefore be-
lieved that Ibrahim will at length resolve to leave the
Mores. It is said that he has lately been advised to em-
Lark as soon as he can, if he thinks to lead the troops un-
der his command with honour ont of the field.

Calcutta Papers of the 15th of December,
and Bombay of the 27th of November, have
been received at the North and South American
Coffee-house. From the latter, we learn that
on the ist, Major-General Sir JOHN MAr.coLAr,
G.C.B. took the prescribed oaths as Governor
of Bombay, on the resignation of the Honour-
able MOUNTSTUART ELPHINSTONE, which
Was announced by a salute of 19 guns, and that
Mr. ELPHINSTONE will embark in the Pali-
"gB for the Red Sea, on the 15th, on his route
to England. The Calcutta Papers state that a
meeting had been held to petition Parliament
for the equalization of the duties on East and
West India sugars, and the removal of the
restrictions on the resort of British Subjects to
India, and their residence therein, with reference
to their influence on the commercial prosperity
of the country.
The Madras Courier of the 23d Oct. con-
veys the result of the campaign. After con-
Qerable demur, and refined equivocation, the
MALI A RAJA was at length,by dint ofintitnidation,
induced to fix his signature to an unconditional
surrender of himself and country to the British
government. In consequence of this most unex-
p,ected termination to the campaign, the whole
force marched to Colopore, on the morning of
the 15th ; and on the morning of the 17th, a
battalion of Native Infantry, under the command
of Lieut.-Colonel TR' NIAN, marched into the
I", under the immediate direction of the Corn-
tnandant of Docan, who tool: possession of
the capital of Colopore. The formidable and
almost impregnable hill forts of Pounghur and
Purnullahghur, were taken possession of by a
Naiques Guard. Two other forts have been
!;eeured by similar detachments. His Highness
the N'IAH A RAJAH, IS to retain the Sovereignty
of his country, but is to receive a subsidiary force,
c'onsisting of a brigade of Infantry, and one
htigade of guns, which force it is stipulated, is to
remain stationed at Colopore.

barbadoes Papers to the 12th March have
teen received at the North and South Amerioan
`:fre:-liottse. From them we learn that the
,
c,
o'lr and a half per cent. duty is the fruitful
of contention between the West India
Planter' in certain old colonies, of which ours is
9ne ; and the British Government is now afford-

"atlY
That in com.equence of the unpreced.nted mode re-
adopted in the rollertipu of the duty on Sugar at the

King's beam, this Meeting deem it indispensably necessary
to appoint a Committee to confer with the heads of the
Custom-house, to ascertain the cause of those rigorous
measures, and to take such steps as may be best calculated
to protect the interest of those concerned.
4. That the Meeting nominate John Barrow, Thomas
Holles, John R. Best, Renn. Hamden, Joseph W. Jordan,
Robert Hayes, Forster Clarke, B. Hill, ,Richard Deane,
Thomas Louis, and Thomas Lee, Esqrs. , or ahy five of them,
to be a Committee to carry into effect the object of the
Third Resolution.

It is hoped, however, that some satisfactory arrange-
ment may be made with his Majesty's Ministers on
this grievous duty, which since the Colonies have been so
impoverished, has pressed peculiarly hard on those who pay,
so as to relieve the agricultural and mercantile bodies in the
Island of a great annoyance, as well as take off the odium
from the Custom House officers, who in obedience to these
orders are obliged to impose this duty. A law has been
promulgated
supercargoes, and all %rho in any way whatever shall be
engaged in the slave trade, the captains and other officers
of the crew, and all who participate in the traffic, under
whatever title, tip banishment, and to a fine equal to the
value of the ship and cargo, taken in the port ; excepting
only such persons as shall have reported in fifteen
days from the arrival of the vessel, to the Commissary
of Marine, or Magistrates, Consols, Governors, agents
of his Majesty in threign parts, the facts relating to the
said traffic which have come to their knowledge. The
2d article declares the Captain, Officers, and crew, shall
be incapable of serving in any capacity in the King's ships
or in the French merchant service. The 3.1 article punishes
all others making a part of the crew to imprisonment from
three months to lire years. The late Governor and Coun-
cil of Martinique have issued also a decree against the im-
portation prohibiting merchandize, and ordering fines and
confiscation to any parties found offending. The tine to
be three times the value of the goods in question, and in
ease of a repetition of the offence the same to be doubled.

The Meanwell, Captain Rimurs, arrived
off Dover, sailed from Jamaica on the '4Bth Feb.,
and has had a most tempestuous passage.

The Britomart and Cordelia sloops of Scar,
which sailed from Portsmouth some time since,
have arrived at Oporto, for the protection of
British property. The Badger has also since
sailed for the same destination ; and this force is
considered competent to afford the necessary
security.

Private letters, by the packet Hope, from Rio
de Janeiro, are of the 15th and llith of February,
but contain little that is interesting. The Ex-
change was a mere shade higher, and is quoted
at 314; 32 per milrea. The prospects of
peace were still distant. Some reports had
existed at Rio, that the British Government
would interfere as a mediator with increased
energy. From these letters it appears the Bra-
zilian flag was suffering much from the activity
of the Buenos-Ayrean privateers, and the block-
ade of the River Plate was a mere farce. The fre-
quency of the American vessels sailing and ar-
riving had given rise to suspicion that there was;
an understanding between them and the
blockading squadron. The British Admiral,
it is said, intended to put an end to this sham
blockade, and not allow it unless it could be
shewn that a sufficient and effective force should
be destined for this operation ; in the mean time
the American merchants were making immense
fortunes by the facilities given to their flag, whilst
the English were suffering every insult, capture
and detention, for acting in a less spirited manner.
The following are extracts from papers re-
ceived by the packet

2.10 DE JANEIRO, FF.I3. 16.

1. The General Mansilla privateer, on its return to
Buenos Ayres, was chased by our ships, which obliged it
to run aground on the coast between Burragan and Buenos
Ayres, and set it on fire.
2. The federal Argentina privateer, coming out of
Buenos Ayres, having already escaped the vigilance of our
vessels off that port, was, however, seen and chased by
others that were cruising lower dotvn, pursued till it ran
aground, and was also burnt.

3. In the night of the 26th January, Brown came out
of Buenos Ayres with four of Lis best ships, and meeting
with only three of our vessels, he was forced, after an action
of an hour and a quarter, to retreat to his old place of refuge.
Our loss was two sailors killed and some wounded, among
whom wes the Commander of the Maranham. This is
the summary of the despatches brought by the packet.

BUENOS AYRES, JAN. i.

We are sorry to announce that a few days ago only the
Deputies of Buenos Ayres and of Cordoba had assembled
at Santa Fe, the place appointed for the convention. This
delay in the meeting of that august body is undoubtedly
very prejudicial to the general interest.
JAW. 9.—A letter front Cerao Largo, in the Banda
Oriental of 27th December, says, General Lavalleja ar-
rived here four days ago. The army is content, and there is
no desertion. The General has addressed a pro-
clamation to the troops; and I understand that we shall
soon march. The enemy's force decreases daily. All the
Germans desert in bodies ; the last party that came over
to us consisted of ten. The activity and zeal of our Go-
vernment have filled us with confidence.

JAN. 22.—The General in Chief of the army of ope-
rations, by a note of the 12th instant, states, that as hr
was on the point of marching with the cavalry to surprise
some encampments of the enemy, the latter had made a
general and precipitous retreat, abandoning even the
fortress Cerrito, directing their march to the Camacn-
ceses. In consequence, a part of our cavalry was march-
ing to take a position on the Yaguason, which is more
favourable for attacking the enemy.
Our boats had taken three vessels richly laden.

The following letter is from the Agent to the
North and South American Coffee-house, dated
Buenos Ayres, Jan. 28 :

The war and blockade still continue ; the latter becomes
every day more absurd ; there are no signs of peace. This
is, indeed, a most extraordinary war; the country is abso-
lutely prospering, even in it—that is to say, the great land-
holders and foreign merchants have hitherto, and I fear
will, in the end, have to pay for all. From necessity they
have become the chief holders of paper money, by which
the war has been sustained. I have no time or space to
ealarge upon the subject. It appears more than probable
that this Government, from existing circumstances, can
carry on the war I;ar an indefinite period, because it is
strangers that suffer, and not the people. Many persons
have ridiculed the idea of Buenos Ayres continuing to war
against an empire like Brazil ; that she was at the end of
her resources, &e. It was forgotten that the contest is
supported by the resources of others, who have been com-
pletely caught in the trap ; and that the very want of
credit to which Buenos Ayres has been reduced, is the
means of saving her. Foreign merchants now begin to find
this out, and are strenuously exerting themselves to prove
to their respective Governments the insufficiency and abuse
if the blockade, by which only neutrals suffer. The coast-
ing trade of this port is in its fun vigour, and scarcely a day
passes but convoys arrive and sail under the Republican
nag, from and to the Parana, Macquarie, and Banda Ori-
ental. Doubloons are at 70 a 71, paper dollars. Exchange
upon England, 111 per dollar.
The present Government seem likely to continue in office.
We have now and then reports of intended changes. How-
ever, as the Provinces side with the men now in authority,
and have promised to support the war with troops &c., we
do not think any change will take place.

The grass-parks let this season have suffered
a decline in value, in some instances, to the large extent
of 20 and 25
per cent.—Nontrose Review.

The notorious IKEY SOLOMoNS, famous as
a receiver of stolen goods, and w:n) escaped last summer
from the officers who had him in custody in London, and
embarked for the United States, has been cutting a con.
spicuous figure in New York, as a witness in a case of
grand larceny, under the assumed name of Wm. JONES ;
and although his testimony was impugned on the part of
the prisoners as unworthy of belief and tainted, the Jury
found them guilty. It appears from the trial that the real
character of this worthy is properly appreciated by the
American public.

THE FUNDS-(TMIS DAY).

CITY, TWELIN 0' CLOCK.

The general complexion of the English Funds hai
been cheering; and Consols, which opened at 841,
buyers, have gone up to 841 for money, and 844
for account ; the Commissioners gave 84k, at which
rate there appeared, however, an evident desire to
serve them, even if the extent of their purchases
had been to double the amount of their demand.

India Bonds are a shilling per cent. higher, as well
as Exchequer Bills, the former are 95 7, the latter
62 3 premium.
In the Foreign Funds there has been scarcely any
transaction. The arrival of a Buenos Ayres and Rio
mail, the former to the 30th of January, the latter to
the 16th of February, have not put us in possession
of any interesting intelligence ; war continued, with-
out any apparent prospect of peace. The Buenos
Ayreans are carrying on the war at the,expence of
foreigners, for they have become in a great measure
the holders of the paper money issued, and were at a
dreadful discount of 111, per the paper dollar; every
day produced accounts of captures from the Brazilians,
and the only hope now entertained by the latter was,
that the British Government, actuated by a desire to
mediate as well for her own interest as that of the
two belligerents, would continue with enervy her en-
deavours to put an end to the war. As to the block-
ade of Buenos Ayres, every day shewed more and
more its utter futility, and that it is neither more
nor less than on paper only, and upon this principle
it has been treated by the Americans, the citizens of
which have been reaping an abundant harvest,
whilst the English vessels have been aulsject to
every species of capture, detention, and rapacity,
which has had the most ruinous tendency on their
trade and mercantile benefit. Brazilian are .58 § ;
Buenos Ayres, 32i 3 ; Mexican, 6 per Cent., a few
buyers having appeared, are a little higher, being
32 i; Russian, 87i- 8; Spanish heavy at 1 I -.}.
In Shares nothing worth noticing has taken place
except in Brazilian Mines, which have risen to 50
52 premium.
