LONDON,
FRIDAY
.EVENING, AUGUST 31, 1827.

We might probably, without any egotism,
assume to ourselves much knowledge. of the
discussions which have taken place upon the
subject of the Ministerial arrangements as any
of our cotemporaries, who pretend to know the
very arguments which have been used by some
members of the Cabinet, or who put speeches
into the mouths of others ; and we might thus
cook up a dish which would be palatable to the
taste of some idle gossips. But, in the present
state of things, we consider that it is as indelicate
to mention any facts we do know, as to pretend
to a knowledge of others which have not tran-
spired beyond the narrow bounds of the Mini-
ster's closet. With this feeling we shall persevere
in maintaining the same reserve we have hitherto
done till the arrangements are made, when we
shall know them, and the causes which have
prevented their earlier adjustment, as soon as
our neighbours.

Mr. HusKTSSON, and
Viscount Gr.opEßlcit,
Mr. STURGES BOURNE, proceeded this fore-
noon to 'Windsor, on a visit to his MAJESTY.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday, and the Gazette
de France dated Wednesday, reached us last
night. The latter contains an article from
Odessa, dated the Bth instant, which refers to
intelligence received from Constantinople to

the 2d. At that time the ultimatum of the
Allied Powers had not been communicated to the
Porte ; but people were convinced that the
DIVAN would let things come to the last ex-
tremity. From Jassy, it is stated, that a requi-
sition of horses was talked of in the principalities.
A private letter from Zante, states the capture
of a Turkish frigate and a galley, by Lord
COCHRANE, off Poros.
All the Papers are filled with vague rumours
from Spain and Portugal. One states that the
Spanish army is forthwith to advance to the
Portuguese Frontier—another, that the British
troops are ,to evacuate Portugal immediately--a
third, that Don MIGUEL is on his road, having
been appointed Regent by the Emperor Don
PEDRO—and so on. The truth is, that the
affairs of both countries are in almost a desperate
situation, and it is a chance what will take place.

The Cours 'Authentique has not reached us,
and, therefore, we do not yet know the closing
price of the Funds on Tuesday evening. At
half-past two o'clock, the 5 per Cents. were
104 f. 95c. ; 3 per Cents. 72f. 65c., and 73f. 15c.
for time.

Extracts of the Papers are given in another

By the Flanders Mail, which arrived last

night, we have received Brussels Papers of the
29th. The following article fiorn Frankfort
describes the activity which prevails in the de-
partments of the Ministers of War and Foreign
Affairs in St. Petersburgh, and states that a new
declaration is spoken of, to be addressed by the
Russian Cabinet to the other great Powers of
Europe, relative to the negotiations With the
Porte.

" FRANKFORT, Aun. 18.—Letters from St. Peters-
burgh say that great activity is observed in the depart-
ments of the Ministers of War and Foreign Affairs.
" A new declaration is spoken of, to be addressed by the
Russian Cabinet to the other great Powers of Europe, rela-
tive to the negotiations set on foot at Constantinople, for
adjusting the affairs of Greece. It appears to be beyond all
doubt that the Emperor Nicholas has manifested the
greatest discontent at the continual tergiversation of the
Forte, and that, conformably to the wishes of the people
resolved to put an end to the
effusion and the clergy,o f blood i
einistlfilerm PleYloponnesus. It is affirmed that
the last despatches sent by Count Nesselrode to the Russian
Ambassador at Vienna, are drawn up with spirit. The
contents of the despatches were to be communicated to the
Court of Austria, with an invitation to send fresh instruc-
tions to Baron Ottenfels, the Imperial Internuncio at Con-
stantinople, to employ all his influence to snake the Porte
comprehend that its present policy ie calculated to bring on

events the result of which cannot but he injurious to the
empire of the Crescent.

" The report that Turkish troops, organized in
European fashion, were to come to Moldavia, had reached
St. Petersburgb. It is said that orders have been sent to
the General commanding the army in Bessarabia, to draw
his posts closer together, and to watch all the movements
that may take place in Moldavia ; and in case the Turks
should increase their forces in that principality, to send
immediate notice to the Minister of War at St. Peters-
burgh. Count Capo d'lstria was visited at Berlin by the
most distinguished Philhellcnes of that capital, who were
desirous of paying their respect to the future President of
the Government of Greece.

" Letters from Corfu say, that Ibrahim Paella has sud-
denly suspended his march, and is now completely inactive.
It is supposed that he would again go to Navarin, where he
will probably wait for despatchei from his father, the Vice-
roy of Egypt. News had been received that a frigate had
sailed from Alexandria, bound fur the Morea. It will pro-
bably anchor at Navarin.
" BRUSSELS, Auc. 28.—The loan of 400,000 florins,
nogociated by the Magistrates of the Hague for making a
canal to Scheveninger, was filled up in four days."
PftemcFOßT, Auc. 18.—(Private Correspondence.)—
There is no longer any doubt that the Electoral Prince of
Hesse, with the Electrese, his mother, and the Princess of
Hesse, his sister, will come in the month of October next,
to fix their residence at Philipsruhe, near Hanau. Every
body has heard of the dissensions which have prevailed in
the Electoral family ever since the accession of the present
Elector. To put an end at once to the numerous disagree-
able affairs which have already resulted from their differences,
the Kings of Prussia and the Netherlands have intervened,
together with the Emperor of Austria, to effect a final
arrangement. _ .

lu consequence of this intervention, the Principality of
Hanau is to be given up to the Electoral Prince, to be poe
sessed by him, under the Elector, as Sovereign, in the same
manner as was done in the last reign but one, and under
circumstances nearly similar.

It will be gratifying to the Naval Service to
learn, that the appointment we alluded to yester-
day of the Hon. Captain ROBERT SPENCER, of
the Royal Navy, to be Private Secretary to his
Royal Highness the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL,
has taken place.

Colonel WILSON, Colonel STANNIERS, and
Lieutenant STRONG, arc said to have arrived at
Constantinople on the Ist of August. On their
route from India to Great Britain they passed
through Tuhrev, 28 days before, and they
learned that the Russian Army, employed in the
invasion of Persia, was in a state of the greatest
distress ; the cavalry had been totally routed by

that of the Persians, and the climate had been
disastrous to the invaders. Eight thousand Rus-
sians, before Erivan, had been nearly destroyed
by disease, and a retreat of the Russians was ex-
pected.

Overland dispatches have been received from
India, by which we learn that intelligence has
been brought of the death of RUNJEET SING.

His Majesty's sloop, Eclair, has arrived at
Spithead, from Lima, Valparaiso, and Rio ; the
letters and papers, brought by her from the
western coast of South America, are of old
date. The following official article is rather a
curiosity in its way, and the reasoning of

the Brazilian Baron is as conclusive to us as it
must be satisfactory to himself. He does not
seem to care about the means, so that he obtains

the end, and therefore pirates are as acceptable
to his Excellency as they must be unwelcome to
those against whom their operations will be di-
rected. The Baron is quite original in his mode
of surprising the enemy, and is much gratified
that his visit was unexpected. It would be quite
surprising if they knew he was coming upon
them unawares.

OFFICIAL ARTICLE.-CISPLATINE PROVINCE.

RIO DE JANEIRO, JUNE IS.
Slit—By the despatch, of which I enclose a copy, that
your Excellency may do me the honor to lay it before his
Imperial Majesty, your Excellency will see that on the
17th of this mouth I caused the Imperial ei:lours to be
hoisted in the city of Maldonado; thus completing my plan
in the manner that I communicated to your Excellency in
my despatch of the 11th of March last. This plan was
one of the most important that could be struck at the enemy
under the present circumstances, on account of the advan-
tages which accrue to us from it.

1. By putting in our hands the support of the pirates,
who have done so much injury from that point.
2. By facilitating the communication of the army of the
South.

3. Because the insurgents, considering that city as their
capital, are deprived of it, and consequently their civil and
moral force is diminished.

I cannot but be much gratified by the manner in which
this surprise was effected, without any person's expecting
it, and notwithstanding the brisk firing that took place, we
had only one soldier wounded and a corporal killed or taken
prisoner (and by his own fault). The enemy, besides the
killed, wounded, and prisoners, lost also a considerable quan-
tity of ammunition. Our force did not exceed 170 men, which,
in conformity with my instructions, occupied the bridge of
Leste, which is already fortified with nine pieces of cannon
of different sizes, and to which I sent 100 men, viz.-40
cavalry and 60 infantry; and if I had had more troops, I
could have occupied the city of Maldonado itself. I have,
meantime, the satisfactionnot:only of having saved Colonia,
but of having the Imperial standard hoisted in that city.
Our troops behaved with much bravery and good order,
and the commander of the expedition did every thing with
great judgment. As soon as I receive the details, I will
transmit them, that his Majesty may, with his usual libe-
rality, reward those who have most distinguished them-
selves. God preserve your Excellency, &c.

were received in the most gracious manner.

Early in the morning the churches were crowded with the

The inscriptions for the loan of 400,000 florins being
closed on the 23d, were found to have amounted, in the
four days fixed for the purpose, to the sum of between
6 and 700,000 florins, in consequence of which tha in-
scriptions have been reduced in due proportion, and notice
given to the subscribers.

Accounts from the banks of the Rhine, say that the ex-
isting legislation on the Rhenish Provinces of Prussia will
remain in force till 1832, at which time it is believed that
the labours of the Commissioners charged with the general

that the Prussian Monarchy will shortly enjoy uniform
legal institutiens.

Exchange is as high as it has been for the last
four rnonths.

THU FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TVIBLIR 0' CLOCK.

The continued uncertainty which exists on the
subject of the Ministerial arrangements, and the
rumours which are continually promulgated in the
City, have caused the British Funds to be affected
by the most unimportant reports, which, even if true,
are improbable from their very nature, and shew
how susceptible the state of the money market is at
the present moment. This morning a considerable
number of transactions have taken place; Consols
opened at 864, for account, but afterwards declined
to 864; they then got up to 87k, and are now 87,
buyers, and 864 for money, the market looking
well ; India Bonds continue to rise, being 92 3, and
Exchequer Bills, 59 60 pm.
The Foreign Funds continue to attract but little
attention, and few bargains are reported; Mexican
Bonds are 67. A decline in Russian Stock is quoted,
they arc 954 6; this may arise from the arrival of
some of the Bonds from Holland, which have been
sent as a remittance, as well as the intelligence
brought by three English Officers who have arrived
overland from India, and bring very unfavourable
accounts of the disastrous situation of the Russian
army before Eri van, a Persian fortress; the besieging
army are in want of ammunition, guns, and materiel;
provisions they had scarcely any, and the force,
amounting to 8,000 men, had been nearly destroyed
by disease and the attacks of the Persian Cavalry ;
in consequence of which it was generally believed
that the invading army must retreat within
their own frontier without delay. If this is
a true statement, much difficulty will attend
replacing these losses in that quarter. Portuguese
are 75 4; Brazilian, 661 I; and Buenos Ayres,
61 4. In Shares, Brazilian Mines have risen to 20
premium ; all the other speculations remain in their
former inactivity.

PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL.—The
Liverpool Branch of the Society for Propagating the
Gospel in Foreign Parts, lately held a meeting, at
which the Bishop of the diocese presided, which was nu-
merously attended. We lately noticed the laudable exertions
made by the Parent Society. A Meeting had been held at
the Freemason's Hall, where his Grace the Archbishop of
Canterbury took the Chair. The proceedings at Liverpool,
may be considered as growing out of the meeting in the Me-
tropolis. It is impossible not to admire the comprehensive
benevolence of the Reverend Persons who assisted at it,
when we see them equally intent on giVing religious conso-
lation to the natives of India and the savages of North
America, animated by the pious hope, that all the human
race may share the same faith and unite to worship the
only true God.
Mr. Huskisson, in passing from Dover to
London, the other day, lost no opportunity of snaking in-
quiries as to the condition of the farmers. The Right
Honourable Gentleman put a question of this kind to the
landlord of a certain inn, who replied, that he thought they
were dohsg very well, but that they nevertheless grumbled
a good deal.--." I have no doubt of that," rejoined Mr. H.
" I never knew the time when they did not grumble."
DUBLIN.--An extremely distressing occur-
rence has, within the last few days, taken place in the
family of a most respectable professional gentleman,
resident in Merricn-square. His family being at pre-
sent in the country, the children were out during the
day in the lawn attached to the house, and while there, one
of the young ladies, a fine girl of fifteen, was struck in
the eye by an arrow discharged by some idle boy in the
neighbourhood, who was amusing himself at the dangerous
exercise of shooting arrows. The eye-ball was completely
protruded, and the eye-sight is consequently lost.
A sea lion was lately taken in Inver Bay, on
the coast of Donegal. He measured nine feet four inches
from the snout to the end of his tail, five feet ten inches in
girth, and weighed 729 lbs. His snout is like a coven,
his teeth like a dog's ; his head remarkably small, the nails
of his fore-paws seven inches long and very strong, those
on his hind-paws, or fins, are long but thin—the latter
paws are shaped like a goose's foot. This animal is the
Wonder of the fishermen, who go in hundreds to see it,
and some of them say it has been known in the bay these
40 years, tearing their nets constantly.—Lsinster Jour.
On Thursday afternoon, a young man, while
bathing on the beach at Aberdeen, got into a dangerous
gulph or channel, a little to the southward of the station
for the bathing machines, and the ebb-tide running strong
at this outlet, where the current is very rapid and dan-
gerous,he was swept out to sea and drowned, calling to
his
companion in the water to warn him of the danger in
which he found himself inextricably involved. The un-
fortunate sufferer had just returned from Greenland, where
he had been as a landsman, on board the Neptune, and had
been formerly a flax .dresser, originally from Montrose.--
Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle.
A young Nobleman, the son of a gallant Mar-
quis, and son-in-law of a distinguished Mar-
chioness, is, we understand, at present in this
country, incog. for the purpose of having the
immense Gothic Pile, the ancient family resi-
dence of the latter personage, situate in the
county of Meath, not fifty miles from Slane,
beautified and enlarged on a most extensive scale,
and in a style approaching in splendour to even
Royal magnificence. These improvements, it is
said, are preparatory to the arrival of a noble in-
dividual here, to preside at the helm of the Irish
Government.---Dublin Evening Post.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

HATTON-GARDEN.
Tula PETTICOAT-LANE DEPOT.—,IIE ET SOLOMONS.—''
In consequence of the arrangements yesterday made by the
Magistrates of this office, for affording every facility to the
numerous inquiries to be allowed to examine the property
found in the house of Ikey Solomons, it was removed from
the possession of the different officers, and placed in one of
the large rooms in the upper part of the office, under the
care of Limbriek and Edwards ; and as early as ten o'clock
a number of tradesmen, who had been plundered at dif-
ferent times, were in attendance, and between that hour
and half-past twelve o'clock upwards of thirty individuals
had access to the apartment.
The property as now seen is of the most astonishing vs-
4riety, comprising not only gold and silver watches, silks,
and jewellery, but a very large quantity of valuable Brus-
sels lace, pieces of woollen cloths, silk shawls, damask
table-cloths, waistcoats and waistcoat pieces, and a great
quantity of lace caps made up; but not any portion of it
was found on the ground floor as described. In the bed-
room on the second floor, after removing a bedstead
and a double carpetting, two planks were disco-
vered so contrived, that they could be removed at pleasure,
under which the greater part of the lace, the whole of the
watches, jewellery, and a large portion of the silk, were
found. The bag of counterfeit sovereigns, amounting in
number to 566, was not found beneath the flooring, but
was discovered by Limbrick most artfully concealed on a
sort of beam or rafter, in the lower part of the building.—
The adjoining house was in possession of the same party,
anti contained a quantity of valuable property, which could
not, at the time, be removed, in consequence of the limited
means possessed at the moment by the Officers, and tlit
immense number of persons by which the premises were
surrounded.

A considerable portion of the lace has already been iden-
tified by Messrs. Goustock and Copestake, of No. 7,
Cheapside, whose premises were lately robbed ; and several
gold rings by a pawnbroker named Lane, in the neighbour-
hood of Tottenham-court-road. A portion of the watches
are spoken to as being stolen from a pawnbroker's in the
City no longer since than Saturday night last. The influx
of tradesmen continues as numerous as when the Office first
opened; but the names of the applicants are kept as close as
possible.

The case will be fully entered into on Tuesday next, but
it is not expected to be public, as it cannot, by any means,
be disposed of on that day.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of all kind■ of Coro this week are small,
particularly of Foreign Oats. Fine Wheat being scarce,
fully supports Monday's prices ; Barley, Beans, and Pease,
are unaltered. In consequence of the very short supply
of Oats, good Horse Corn fully supports Monday's rates,
bat the business transacted is very limited.
