ECOLISIASTICA L PREFERMENTS.

The Rev. Walter Trevelyan, M.A. has been in-
stituted by the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells to
the Rectory of Nettlecombe, Somersetshire, on the
presentation of Sir John Trevelyan, Bart., vacant by
the death of the venerable Archdeacon Trevely4n.

Monday the Rev. J. D. Oland Crosse, B. A., of
Exeter College, was instituted by the Lord Bishop
of Bath and Wells to the Vicarage of Paulet, other-
wise Pawlett, Somersetshire, at the presentation of
the Crown. On the same day, the Rev. James
White, B.A. was licensed by his Lordship to the
Perpetual Curacy of Stoke-lane, in that county, on
the nomination of the Rev. Jacob Fussell, Vicar of
Doulting, with the several Chapels annexed.
The Rev. Henry Ellis has been appointed by his
Majesty Principal Librarian at the British Museum,
in the room of the late Mr. Planta.

More business than usual was transacted in
tte Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon, and on much
higher terms than on last post day ; the principal advance
was in the Exchange on Paris, which was quoted from
25. 47k. to 25. 52i. ; on Hamburgh from 36. 31. to
36. 4. ; and on Amsterdam, from 12. 1. to I,f. Owing
to the favourable statement of the affairs of the Bank at
Lisbon received by the last mail, the Exchange on that
capital, instead of falling, is rather higher.—The exporta-
tion of the precious metals can now be attended with so
little profit, as to remove the fears which became so gene-
ral of a scarcity, on the previous reduction in the Ex-
changes.— Chronicle.
GREECE.— No sooner had PirrrAr, King of
Macedonia, and his son ALEXANDER, rendered themselves
masters of Greece, than it was resolved to overturn the
empire of Persia.—About A.M. 3,670, ALEXANDER
marched an army of 35,000 Greeks into Asia. With
these, in the three great. battles of Granicus, Issue, and
Arbela, he, with but trifling loss, overthrew the Persian
armies, which it seems were, in the two first battles, about
five or six hundred thousand ; and in the last, ten or eleven
hundred thousand. In six years he made himself master
of tke Persian empire, and part of India ; and died, leav-
ing an empire about 4,000 miles in length.
