LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 2?, Ise6.

The French PApcxs to the 20th inst. which reached
us last night, and from which we have given some
extracts in another column, do not contain any poli-
tical news of importance.

The Diario di Roma asserts, that IBRAHIM
PACHA had left Tripolizza with 20,000 men, and a
large train of artillery, to march against Napoli de
Romania.

Under the head of St. Petersburgh. is given a Pro-
clamation, issued by the Emperor NICHCILAS on the
30th ult., on occasion of the delivery of the Grand
Duchess HELENA, wife of the Grand Duke
MICHAEL, of a Princess, who has received the
name of ELIZABETH ; and also an account of an in-
spection by J his Imperial IVIAEsTv. of the fiortitica-
ttons of conispidt. : and the squadron commanded by
admiral CROWN.

By private letters from Madrid, it appears that the
Royal Family were to leave Aranjuez, for the Capital,
on the 22d instant. It is mentioned that all idea of
any further expedition against South America being
abandoned, the Government have placed at the dis-
posal of the Caisse d'Amortissement, towards paybig the
coupons of the Royal Loans, some funds remaining
of those destined for the last expedition.
The French Funds appear to be steady, but rather

improving.

Dutch Papers to the 20th instant, lik.wise reached
us last night. Their contents are of little interest.
It is stated in an article dated Hague, 18th June, that
important changes will he made in the War Depart-
ment, the chief direction of which will be given to his
Royal H►ghness Prince.FHF;DERICK.

Several Reports were in circulation yesterday, which
had a considerable effect on the value of all public
Securities. Early in the day it was stated that an
express from Paris, had brought accounts of a mercan-
tile failure of large amount, in that capital ; but this
report was soon contradicted in such a manner as to
leave no doubt of its want of authenticity. The
House, too, to which it referred, was stated not to be
of eminence sufficient to produce, any serious Conse
quences, even if it had tidied. Large sales ,of Stock,
however; havMg been made, another report,wes circu-
lated, that the amount of the public Revenue tip to the
present period of the Quarter, fell far short of the
Atinisters' calculations and that Minister's themselves
felt serious apprehensions on the subject. These
reports, acting on the feverish state of the Money
Market, occasioned a decline in the three per Cents)
from SOS' to 74. As the Revenue Accounts for the
Quarter, will not be made up for a
,fortnight, we ap-
prehend that these reports must be founded on probe-
bilities rather than on any actual information which
,can have transpired. We do not pretend to know the
present amount of the Revenue, SO we ,strongly
suspect that others are as ignorant on tbis, subiect as
ourselves., In the absence, therefore, of positive, in-
formation, apprehensions' ought not to be felt, at
repotta which may prove to Ibravenocfouilaton,, and

Letters of the 22d state, that Kumbhir and Weer had
both been garrisoned by our troops. Biana, it was
expected, would be occupied with equal facility by the
detachment sent against it. iNtanuro Siena, who is
in possession of Deeg, and the CHIEF of ALvAR,
are not likely to give much trouble, after the lesson
they will have learned from the fate of their, kinsman
and ally.

Jamaica Gazettes to the 22d April, and letters to
the end of that month, reached town yesterday: The
intelligence from England down to, the 10th March;
had created considerable alarm ; and the proceedings
in Parliament respecting the slave regulations excited.
much attention ; but the failures; particularly of B. A.
GOLDSCHMIDT, SO intimately connected with Colom-
bia, and money negotiations in the West Indies,
attracted intense interest, and had completely suspend.;
ed all business.

Charleston Papers to the 21st of May hays also
reached us. They contain an article from Mariega-
hints, one of the Lesser Antilles, stating that, by all
order of the King of FRANCE, the ports of that island
are to be shut against foreign vessels after the Ist of
July next.

We insert in another part of our Paper, a Decree,
issued by the Provisional Government of Greece,
assembled at Epidaurus, acknowledging the Loans
negotiated in England.

The launch of His Majesty's ship Powerful, of to
guns, at Chatham, (which from a misprint, was stated
in our last night's Paper, as to take place to-clay)s
was effected yesterday without the occurrence of any
accident. All the previous arrangements having been
made, the signal was given at 20 minutes ,past Ow,

Letters have been received this morning front

Extract from the Trieste Observer -A letter from Col"
staatiuople, brought by the last mail, says that Admiral tiliar
had been to Hydra, and exacted the payment of 19,0(X) Cabfr""
siatis for damages done by the Greeks to merchantmen of h 4
nation. He entered the port of Hydra with tour Greek ochOoner*
which he had detained at sea : he released them as soon as
payment was made.

Letters from Odessa, dated May 22, say that the prices or coe

It has been said by some philosopher, that the
spirit of liberty is unextinguishable, for it can be
subdued in one quarter, only to burst forth with
renewed fervour in another. No doubt tby
phila-
supher, in making this Observation, had airoplictic
eye to Ganeral Elections, for we now perceive that
though the idol of liberty at Preston is constrained t°
hide his diminished heed, yet a scion of the sone
Sock springs up with all its blt4ink "glories at
athester. Pie hero of Macedon said, that the
h rth
world could nut contain two Suns, nor t..e sta

two Sciveieikns ; and Mr.. HUNT, actingl 'in that
spirit; kept in his horns. till the Sun of WILLIAM
COBUTT had set. It is a great pity that
great men cannot agree, fur. if the labours of one
can benefit the world (and COBBITT assures us that his
will), surely the advantages .Would be increased
hillthel 4, matchleis" "addition of another. But
rival!: in politics are as bad as those - in love,
and thOse who wish' to' see both these outrival-
led, may look at the Preston and Ilchester elec-
tions. In sober sadness, we ask what could the
public expect from such representatives as HUNT and
COBBETT ? The one matchless for his impudence ;
the other unmatched,for his honesty, as logo bath it.
If our readers will turn to the report of the Preston
and Ilehester Elections, they will find enough to gratify
curiosity. The lovers of the marvellous (we mean
the admirers of universal sufli•age) will there find their
"beautiiiil theory" most uproariously personified.
It was but fitting that the "two Reformers of
the age," should play oft' their contemplated improve-
ments in our constitution, in order that those who,
remain in doubt might be convinced of its perfection.
But these would-be Legislators are not agreed on
the quantum of Improvement necessary to be made.
'itch would havOirnself as the centre of his plan, and
neither would have emendation at all unless the
public took the benefit at his hands. The Constitu-
tion they aver to be in danger, and each has his own
Specific for its cure. Like tinkers,' they keep trying
if it be sound, and knock till they (hopeful aim !)
make a hole in it. But the public are satisfied of the
litter worthlessness of such " candidates," anti a few
dqs more will send back the one to his gridiron,
the other to his blacking.

It is said by accounts received from St. Petersburgh,
dated 25th May, that the mercantile state of that capi-
ki was veu deplorable. No vessel had arrived or
tailed for five days. The great banker MOLL AWO
died, leaving property to the amount of one million
kid a half of rubles. Exchange on London, 95.16..

It is repprted this morning in the City, that Car-
thagena is blockaded by the Spanish squadron from
St. Jago de Cuba. It is also reported that ac-
counts from.. Napoli of the 10th state, that Colonel
likßvtztt, who has the command of the regular troops,
has set off for Athens, and the irregular militia are
611 the march to take possession of the defiles, by which
Arabs must cross to approach Napoli ; the ships
4 Hydra, Spezzia; and Ipsara, are on the eve of sail-
itt, accompanied by a great number of tine vessels to
meet the Turkish fleet.
