the French Administration, and adds--" 'The
VlLLELEAdministratibn did not like the Peerage;
it had to avenge itself on it ; and yet it never did
any thing so burdensome as:that which it is nook
doing. This public discussion on money, with
which it is sought to infect a dignity which the
Charter wished to create independent and pure
from all pay, is the most mortal blow which
could be struck at its splendour and importance."

The Allgenteine Zeitung, quoting the
Austrian Observer on the subject of the affairs
of Greece, observes, " the PRESIDENT had
embarked on the 2d March on board the Helena
Russian frigate, from Egina, intending to go to
Napoli di Romania, and afterwards to Navarin,
with the intention of travelling through the
Peloponnesus. He previously issued a decree
for the management of the affairs of the Govern-
ment during his absence.• In the course of
February, the PRESIDENT
,also issued decrees
for the organization of the Ministerial Council,
and for the completing of the Panhellion. He
'had also, at the desire of the political and military
Chiefs, of Continental, Greece, appointed his
brother AUGUSTIN CAPO D'ISTRIA, to be the
authorised Representative of the Government
among them." The remaining contents of this
Journal are unimportant : such as they are, we
have given them below :

SYRA, DIARCH 28.

Captain John Stoja, of the Tuscan brig Mercury, with
about 170 Moorish pilgrims, bound from Tunis to Alex-
andria, was obliged by stormy weather to lie to, off the
island of Serpho, where he remained a few days, to make
some purchases. After he had paid for them, and also
the anchorage, and was preparing to set out, the Port
Captain came on board, and demanded an extraordinary
fee of four Spanish dollars, a demand which the Captain
resisted. During the dispute, the Moorish pilgrims, who
did not know the cause, began to murmur. The people
who accompani. d the Pelt Captain, fancying that the
Moors were going to murder him, fled with their boat, and
left the Port Captain on board. When the latter found
himself alone. and saw that he had failed in his object, he
leaped into the sea and swam ashore, where he alarmed
the inhabitants, by assuring them that the Turks were
coming on shore to murder them. The inhabitants on this
took up arms, and fired a volley at the ship, by which five
Mahometans were killed, and several wounded, as well as
three sailors. Captain Stoja made his people return the
fire, and several of the islanders were killed and wounded.
After the action was over, and the Serphiots had taken
possession of the ship, Stoja sent a boat to Syra, with a
complaint against the Port Captain, whom be accused as
the author o the dispute. The Government sent here-
upon a Greek brig to Serpho, and had the ship and the
Port Captain brought hither. We are anxious for the
issue of this melancholy occurrence.

VIEW NA, APRIL 13.

The Austrian Observer contains accounts from Greece,
in letters from Corfu, of March 28, Journals of Egina

(the Universal Gazette of Greece and the Greek Bee),
to March 10, and from Patras (the Courier d' Orient), to
March 12. The President had embarked on the 2d March
on board the Helena Russian frigate, from Egina, intend-
ing to go to Napoli di Romania, and afterwards to Navarin,
with the intention of travelling through the Peloponnesus.
He previously issued a decree for the management
of the affairs of the Government during his ab-
sence. In the course of February, the President
also issued decrees for the organization of the Mini-
sterial Council, and for the completing of the Panhellion.
He had also, at the desire of the political and military
Chiefs of Continental Greece, appointed his brother, Au-
gustin Capo d'lstria to be the authorised Representative
of the Government among them. Count A. Capo d'lstria,
whom they had expressly requested to be sent, left Egina
on the 16th February, on board the Greek steam-boat the
Hermes, and in the list week of that month landed at As-
prospitia, on the north coast of the Gulf of Corinth, where
he had an interview with Demetrius Ypsilanti, after which
the latter returned to his head-quarters at Archova, and
M. A. Capo d'lstria took up his residence for the present
at Kastri. The "Courier d' Orient, of March 12, has an
article dated Egina, March 3, in which it is said, that
Demetrius Ypsilanti had resigned, from disatisfaction at
the appointment of A. Capo d'lstria. But no trace of
such account is to be found in the Egina Papers of
March 10.
The Austrian &server also confirms the surrender of
Voniza, in the Gulf of Arta, to the Greeks, under Gen.
Church, on the 17th of March, in consequence of a total
want of provisions, after having made a long resistance.

It is said in the City that Lord COCHRANE

Our City correspondent says' that the English
Naval Officer, who has proceeded to Constanti-
nople to take the command of the Turkish fleet,
we understand, has not gone by the sanction
of the British Government. The affair originated
as follows :—A letter was written to the Grand
SEIGNOR by a certain great Naval Officer of this
country, recommending him to have a British
Commander for his fleet ; this letter was doubted
as being genuine by the Grand SEIGNOR, conse-
quently he sent it to England to ascertain the
fact, when it proved to be genuine, and the
person was engaged by the SULTAN.

TIIE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWPLVR 0' CLocr.

The non-arrival ol'Foreign Mails or ship letters
this morning, added to its being a holiday at the
Bank and both Stock markets, has rendered it one
of the most barren days for news we ever recollect;
in addition to the above causes the rainy and un-
favourable state of the weather has, if possible, aided
in rendering every thing flat and unprofitable. Very
few Brokers have appeared on the Royal Exchange,
and their looks were any thing but cheering. We
believe we are correct in stating that not more than
one private bargain has hitherto been effected of
5,000/. at 88, and that the price of Consols is quite
nominal at that rate at present.

The Foreign Funds remain in a similar state 01

were fined a few days since for neglecting to attend a meet-

swearing them into office. The fine, which, when fully
enforced, amounts to 201. was materially mitigated. This
neglect has latterly been so often repeated, that the Com-
missioners are determined henceforth to enforce a penalty,
