The Austrian Observer has a long article froui Con-
Z- ZtB t,
opie, dated 25th April, the greac part of which
I of statements already communicated through other
such as the death of Seida Effendi, the conti-
of't of the armaments during the Ramazan, the sailing
of the fleet from Gallipoli, &c. The reports of the raising
t 'liege of the Acropolis,in consequence of desperate
410°Nenaents at the end of March or beginning of April,
fro-,l3r(ived to he wholly unfounded by the latest accounts
A,",,Egina and Poros, which come down to the 11th of
1.111:;1.11, Which say, that excepting some inconsiderable skir-
ti °R the 28th and 29th of March, near Athens,
14Ing decisive had been done on either side up to the
thel ;aril, so that the Universal Gazette of Greece of
bst,tu, which since that date is published at Pores,
complains of this inactivity of the Greeks, and ex.
'4141 feu that if wale great effort is not mule, the

Acropolis Will fall about the same time, and from the same
causes as Missolonghi did last year (Missolonghi was taken
22d April, 1826).
The Austrian Observer notices the union of all the
Greek Deputies of the two assemblies at Damala (the
ancient Trmzene) where the first sitting was held on the
Bth of April. The Commission given to Lord Cochrane,
as High Admiral, was read and approved in this first
sitting, and his Lordship was introduced on the following
day (the 9th) and took the oath.
Two other resolutions are spoken of as about to be imme-
diately adopted by the Assembly; one appointing Count
John Capo d'lstria, in the absence of his brother, Count
Viario Capo d'lstria, President of the Government, or as
most of the letters from Poros and Egina express it, of the
Greek Repu'ulic, for at least five years ; and the other,
which seems to meet some opposition, giving the chief
command of the army to General Church. The Gazette
of the 11th of April does not mention either of them.
The Members of the Commission went to Poros, where
they issued, 00, the 7th of April, an Address to the third
National Assembly of Greece, laying down the authority
hitherto confided to them.

In the House of Commons, last night, two
Honourable Members, who are Directors of the
Bank of England, disclaimed on the part of the
Bank, the " Circular " which has been put forth
as emanating from that Establishment. Sir J.
WROTTESLEY having given notice of a motion
for the production of the letter in question, Mr.
MANNING stated, that the Bank had no means
of laying any such document before the House.
We," said the Honourable Member, " deny
" it—we disclaim it—we know nothing of it. The
" paper in question has not been issued by the
" Bank of England." This answer, however,
did not entirely satisfy Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY,
and the notice of the motion stands for the 7th
of June.

After the distinct declaration of Mr. MAN-

NING, no man can suppose for a moment that
this Circular was officially issued by the Bank.
We never supposed that it had been ; but from
certain circumstances connected with it, and with
the mode of its appearance, we suspected that it
was the scheme of one interested person, and
that he was a Bank Director. This opinion has
been strengthened by various circumstances
which have transpired, and has not been altered
by the declarations of Mr. MANNING and Mr.
PEARSE. Their disavowal of the letter extends
only to its not having been the production of
the Court of Directors, or issued by them, and
by no means implies that one of their Body did
not make the suggestion, and put it forth with
their knowledge, though, perhaps, not with their
actual sanction. If this were not the case,

the assertions made by our contemporary must
he base falsehoods, and we suspect a card
would have been issued from the Bank, unequi-
vocally declaring that the Directors one and all,
separately and collectively, were utterly and abso-
lutely ignorant of the pretended Circular. Until
such a denial is put forth, we cannot get rid of
the suspicions we entertain on the subject, and
we therefore rejoice that Sir JOHN WRO rrEs-
LEY persevered in his intention of bringing the
matter under the consideration of the House.
With reference to the scheme itself, we have
already expressed a very decided opinion against
it, and it seems now to be generally scouted. The
power of the Bank of England in affecting the
value of all description of property, by the ex-
tension or diminution of their issues, is already
infinitely too great : and the effect of the notable
scheme now suggested would be to place the
whole of the property of the Kingdom at the
entire mercy of twenty-four men, who, (without
meaning the slightest offence to the present
Directors, many of whom we know to be as able
and honourable men as any to be found in the
City of London), are chosen for the important
office they fill, not for their peculiar fitness for
the duties of it, but because they are partners in
certain wealthy houses, who have always a Re-
presentative in the parlour of the Bank.

Gibraltar Chronicles to the 15th inst. have been re-
ceived by the Duke of York steamer. They announce
that the Spanish Coast continues to be daily insulted
by the appearance of Colombian privateers, who keep
the Spanish merchantmen in a continual state of alarm,
having made several captures already, and appear to be so
completely masters at sea, that the coasting trade is nearly
destroyed. The Spanish Government seem to have lost
their wonted pride, to permit two privateers, one of 14,
and the other of IS guns, to not only molest, but literally
annihilate their trade from one port to another, within the
view of their houses, and take no measures to put an end
to such insults.

The Cadiz Paper also has given official notice that the
political relations between Spain and the Dey of Algiers
hare been reinstated upon the same footing of friendship
and good understanding as before, and the Treaty of 1786
ratified.

A Paris paper, received this morning, contains the fol-
lowing : —Government has given orders to arm at Toulon,
two sail of the line, and three frigates; but we also learn
that a considerable armament is preparing at Brest, and the
opinions on the above armaments are divided. Acco►ding
to some, it is to assist the negotiations at Constantinople;
and to others, the French Government wishes to enforce the
execution of the Ordinance of Hayti, April 17.
Accounts from Barcelona, to the 19th of May, state that
the Chiefs of the Bands, Ballester Pexola knd Gure, who
have caused so much trouble in the above province, have
again united on the side of Lampourdan, and have under
their orders a considerable force, who commit great excesses.
The French Commander of Figueras, who resided in the
country, has returned to the castle of Ferdinand. The ce-
lebrated Chief (Estans) has gone into the mountains with
hie band, avoiding the troops sent after him.

Accounts from Constantinople of the 29th April, state
that Russia, England, and France, presented to the Reis-
Effendi new propositions for a peace with the Greeks.
A Mexican paper of the 26th March, says, that the
congress of Taycubaya would not be able to begin its Ses-
rion in that month, conformably to the expectation, owing
to the continued delay of the House of Representatives in
deciding upon the treaties made at Panama, which the
executive Government had before submitted to that body.

Mr. James, the able, indefatigable, and up-
right author of the " Naval History," died on
Monday last, after a painful and distressing ill-
ness of several weeks. His widow, we are sorry
to learn, is left entirely destitute of funds,
friends, and connexions, she being a native
of the West Indies. It is, perhaps, not
too much to expect that the professional
readers of Mr. James's work, which has done
the best of all homage—impartial justice—to the
unparalleled skill and heroic bearing of our naval
heroes, will subscribe their mite to relieve the
desolate condition of the relict of this " honest
chronicler."

TIE FUNDS--(TILLS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

The English Funds have shewn some symptoms of heavi-
ness this morning, arising, perhaps, more from the desire
of speculators to realise a profit on the late advance than to
any other cause ; the consequence has been that some rather
considerable sales caused a depression in the market. Con-
sols opened at 841 I, were done at 841 but subsequently
went„,down to 84 for account, the market has, however,
improved again to its opening price, sq it. India Bonds
have recovered a little this morning, being 76 8 ; and Ex-
chequer Bills are also a little higher, being 42 4 pm. •,Busi-
ness in the Foreign Funds has been rather limited, and
confined chiefly to Mexican and Colombian Bonds, the for-
mer being, in the early part of the morning, 69 but are
now 684 ; Colombian, 31 4 ; Danish Stock maintains
its price, being 611 and the reported extension of the for-
mer loan, which that Government had retained the privi-
lege of negociating, has nut had the effect of causing a
lower rate to be quoted ; it is said to be taken at 60, and
is a 3 per cent. Stock ; it is also said to be taken by the
same parties that were connected with the former loan.
Shares must be quoted at nominal prices, the discount,
however, on the chief of them, seem on the increase, and
daily getting worse and worse.
