LONDON.
THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 20, 1828,

It is said in one of the French Papers, the
Messager des Chambres, that the lley of AL-
GIERS has made proposals for peace on terms

'cry advantageous to France. This is not at a

likely in the present state of the question, for the
blOckade of Algiers by the French fleet amounts
to-nothing. The Corsairs pass in and out just
as if no blockade existed on paper, for none
exists in fact at sea. The only thing in which
the French fleet can at all annoy the Algerities
is by occasionally preventing their prizes from
getting into port--Lthe men of war laugh at them.
It is not a little strange that with such a power-

ful fleet as the French possess, the Algerines
should be enabled to carry on their depredations
with such impunity. We are apt to suppose that
the French are not in earnest in their blockade,
or they would have brought the business to a
settlement long before this. They could not
only blockade by sea but beaiege Algiers by land,
and bring the DEY to a due sense of his own
.importance. Perhaps the French wish to keep up
die' appearance of a blockade in order to have an
opportunity of exercising their seamen without
giving other nations just cause of jealousy and
alarm. It is well known that the French are at
this moment paying the utmost diligence to their
naval affairs, and equipping many vessels of all
sizes, to be in readiness for sea when occasion
requires.

Private accounts from Colombia, state that
great apprehensions are entertained, when BoLl.

that a counter revolution will take place at
Bogota—as BOLIVAR'S Government is repre-
sented as odious in all the commercial districts.

Quebec Papers to the 17th Oct. have been
received at the North and South American Coffee-
house. The Paper of the 16th says-6( We
understand that towards the north. west of Que-
bec, to a distance of twenty-five miles, the crops
on the high grounds, with the exception of
Wheat, are- better than those of last year. This
applies particularly to Oats."

tioned, in an article from Berlin, to have died
suddenly and unexpectedly. She did not long
enjoy the pleasure of her son's arrival from the
wars. Her death will be felt throughout Russia
in more ways than one. She was a woman of
deep intrigue, and much presence of mind. It
was her determination alone which raised NI-
CHOLAS to the throne in place of CONSTAN•
TINE. She ruled the Court, and commanded the
implicit obedience of a great portion of the Nobi-
iity. Though apparently taking no part in the
affairs of State—
" She watched the game, and still o'er looked the cards." ,

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, Twszrz o' CLocz‘

The Consul market still continues dull, occasioned
more by the state of the account than from any other
cause. Consols opened this morning at 86+ 7 for
money and account, and 871 for January; a few
sales of time stock havelhad the effect of causing them
to recede to 861 +, and 87 for the opening ; the
Commissioners paid 86+; the continuation was at
one period nearly I per cent. The premium on
India Bonds has at length given way, as well as on
Exchequer Bills ; they declined late yesterday, and
continue heavy this morning, the former being 74 5
pm., and the latter 84 6 pm.
Scarcely a movement of any importance has taken
place in the Foreign Funds to-day, and the prices
are, with very trifling variation, the same as yester-
day ; Portuguese Bonds are, however, a shade lower,
being 54i 5R ; Brazilian, 641 .1. ACcounts have
been received this morning front Rio three days later
that our -former advices, per his Majesty's ship
Briton; the Swallow packet had arrived out on the
2d of Sept. ; the Exchange was 321 per milrea;
no news, but every thing wore a bright prospect,
and the activity in business, which was the result of
the treaty with the Buenos Ayrean Government, had
kept the place in a continual bustle, under the full
conviction that the treaty would be ratified on its
arrival ; the Commissioners had sailed in his Ma-
jesty's ship Heron on their return,
In Shares there is nothing to notice.

The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 13th inst.,
contains an article from the Banks of the Danube,
which rejoices in the prospect of peace being re-
established between Russia and Turkey, because
the question of war is reduced to the greatest
simplicity by the unopposed occupation or'the
Greek fortresses by France, and the neutrality of
other Powers. We presume this article is sent
abroad merely as a feeler of public opinion upon
a subject of so much importance to those con-
04aned

FROM '..11E DANUBE, NOV. 6,
The unopposed occupation of the fortresses in the
Morea by the French troops is extremely satisfactory
in every Doi/It of view. It redup.. tho voctioo of
the war between Russia- and Turkey to the greatest
simplicity, and ',thus renders the solution of it much
more easy. All Europe may now be considered as
absolutely neutral between the two belligrent
powers, and may therefore more effectually employ
its good offices with both parties to put an end to a
,eoi2teSt, the cessation of which is every way de-
iirable. The suspension of arms which the winter will
bring with it, wiilbe employed, as it is hoped, in pro-
tuotipg the work ofpeace,apd people flatter themselves
that the result will. e the moreAkely to 2rove favour-
able, as both Russia no the Porte may now
,rec.,e4p
from the contest without any derogation from their
honour. Of course it can only be conjectured in:
what manner negociations for peace may be set on
foot;butraloPrt speaks of a great capital of neutral ,!

By the Calista, Capt. HAWKINS, Letters and
Papers have been received from Hobart Town,
Van Dieman's Land, of the sth July, but their
contents are not particularly interesting. The
whale fishery was represented to.be going on well,
and likely to prove the source of much wealth
to all embarked in it. Sheep and cattle had
latterly falle❑ considerably in price,—the former
might be bought at ss. 6d. to 15s. each ; the
latter 50s. to 81., according to quality. Wheat
was high, 10s. 6d. to 1 ls. per bushel, and look-
ing up, in consequence of the large demand
from Sydney, and a rather short supply on hand.
Should the vessels sent to Valparaiso return
with Waif cargoes, or none, it was expected wheat
would be 20s. per bushel. Business was ex-
cessively dull, and money very scarce.—
A Dement Steam Navigation Company had
been established for the conveyance of passengers
and produce If Pots the Derwenj between Hobart
Town and Kangaroo feint; capital 5,000/. it
shares of 25/. each. Great apprehensions were
entertained by the writers of private letters that
many failures would be the consequence of the
depressed state of trade.
