all Secret Sects !"—are the precious ejaculations
of the Catalonian Proclamation, and speak pretty
plainly what sort of men direct the present in-
surrection. No mention is made in the French
papers of FERDINAND'S movements,or whether he
really intends to trust his precious person to the
ultra loyalty of the Rebels. The conduct of FER-
DINAND has been altogether so crooked and
equivocal that nothing can be inferred from his
intentions—we must look wholly to his actions.
He has left Madrid ostensibly to convince the
Rebels that he is at perfect liberty, but he may
change his mind before he reaches the scene
of action, and betray a deeper purpose than his
faithful Ministers yet dream of. The continued
inaction of the French army in this state of
insurrection is not a little curious. The
French are now in possession of the strong
holds of Spain, avowedly for the security of the
KING and the preservation- of his Government.
How then does it happen that they remain in-
inactive when they behold his MAJESTY
in danger, and the tranquillity of the king-
dom disturbed by the increasing power of
the Rebels ? Do they wait till matters ap-
proach the last extremity, .in order to gain
more glory by the display of their might, and
thus demand the KING'S, gratitude in propor-
tion to the extent of the benefit conferred ? A
few days will solve the mystery. •
The Monitcur is not a little angry at the ill-
sinnation lately hinted in the English Papers,
that the insurrection in Catalonia was the
work of the French Government. The
Editor trusts, that the well-known loyalty of
vile
the French Government—that its horror of
crime—that the mere name of the Bourbon and
of France will be a sufficient answer to
these
insinuationswhiwhich
w oul
d;
notbutbe
pleasing
some strange facts to counterbalance these p ompous
guarantees at all
to the virtuous Government of the most Christian
KING. -We might instance the inva •of
invasion Spain
las a happy illustration of the good faith and
frankness of the French Government, and the
protracted, stay of their army in Spain as a plain
proof of their unambitious views and straight-
forward policy.
We have no further news from Greece. An
article from Smyrna, dated the 2d of September,
says that Vice-Admiral CODRINGTON had suc-
ceeded in restoring concord at Napoli di Ro-
mania. Extracts will be found in another
column.

We received this morning Frankfort Papers
to the 23d inst. According to an article from.
Frankfort, the general opinion there viewed
the affairs -of the East in a light wholly
favourable to Peace. The Porte, though re-
pugnant to the intervention of the Allied
Powers, would yet, it was believed, make
a virtue of necessity, and yield, because
it must, in fact, be itself . naturally desir-
ous for the restoration of tranquillity. The
same authority says that there is no foundation
whatever for the report of a new Austrian Loan,
and hints that' the report, like many others,,may
have been got up from interested motives.
According to an article front Constantinople,
dated August 31, perfect tranquillity. prevailed
there, and well-informed persons were also of
opinion that there would lie no for Mal rupture.
It says, however, that 3,000 or 4,000 men, in-
fantry and artillery, had left the capital for the
Dardanelles, where great preparations. were
making fob• defence :

FRANKFORT, SEPT. 17.
The private letters from Vienna continue to represent
the efl;sirs of the east in a light wholly favourahle to the
continuance of peace; they cannot, indeed, deny the con-
vention of the 6th July was delivered to the Porte, ac-
companied by very'energetic notes, but they do not consi-
der this fact as authorising the apprehensions that hosti-
lities must necea.sarily ensue. For they say the interfe-
rence of the PoWers will have become destitute of an ob-
ject by the result bf the great Egyptian expedition, which
would probably have landed on the Aimee before the Allies
had decided on the means to he taken ; or should this at-
tempt prove abortive, the Porte, notwithstanding all the
repugnance it has hitherto shown, will, in the
end, yield to the intervention, as it must in fact
be itself desirous to see tranquillity restored by some
means or other. On the other hand, the same letters ap-
pear to ascribe the late rise in the Austrian funds to the
solution of the Portuguese question, respecting which more
serious apprehensions were entertained than respecting that
of Greece and Turkey. Persons, who are well informed,
positively declare that there is no foundation whatever for
the report of a new Austrian loan; and it is not impro-
bable that the report may have been spread from inte-
rested motives.
LEIPSIC, SEPT. 10.
A Royal Order has been made known to all the inha-
bitants of this city, forbidding any person to lend money to
students on books, beds, or merchandise : whoever trans-
gresses this order must give up the articles so pawned with-
out any indemnity.
The Ex-King of Sweden continues to reside here, and
his present mode of life is very different from that he for-
merly led. Of a journey to Turkey which he was said to
intend, there has been a report, indeed only a report.
The building of a prison near the Exchange, which ex-
cites so much sensation among our citisens, on account of
the great exptnue, seems now to be intended to be hastened
as much as possible, so that the work is carried on even on
Sundays (luring divine service, which is again a matter of
no small surprise.

A novel has lately been prohibited here, in which several
of the inhabitants are introduced by name, or so plainly in-
dicated they could not be mistaken. The book was
priuteil here.

CONSTANTINOrLY, AUG. 31.

From 3,000 to 4,000 men, infantry and artillery, left
this capital last week, for the Dardanelles, where great
preparations for defence are making. Perfect tranquillity,
however, prevails here, anatvell-inforrinal persons are gene-
rally of opinion there will be no formal rupture.
ANCONA, SEPT. 12.

A Greek schooner, which had several times toushed at
our port, and had always been received with the greatest
hospitality, has seized, near Ithaca, a pontifical trabacolo,
commanded by John Sanson, whom it robbed of 400
erc,wns and his rigging. It is thus it has returned the
hospitality it received in the States of the Pope.

We recommend to the attention of the mer-
cantile part of our readers, a recent publication by Mr.
Crowgey, Accountant to the Brazilian Legation in this
City, as we consider the Table of Algarisms contained in
4. the Universal Calculator," the work to which we refer,
is admirably adapted, from its simple, and at the same
time comprehensive construction, to facilitate all the
various kicds of calculations to which mercantile
transactions are subject. We feel a pleasure in recording
the favourable opinion we entertain, from the specimen be-
fors us, of the assiduity, ingenuity, and ability of the au-
thor, and hope his efforts to familiarise the science of
figures will meet that patronage and encouragement to
which we think them justly entitled.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWALI,E, CLOCK.

The non-arrival of any foreign mail, together with
the unfavourable state of the weather, has tended to
make to-day one of the least interesting days in the
City which has been experienced for some time.—
Consols opened at 861 for money and 864' I for
account, and for the first hour not a single trans-
action took place ; they have since been done at
for account, and the nearest price is now Shy.
The business which has hitherto been effected bag
been, however, to a very limited extent.. India.
Bonds and Exchequei Bills haVe again declined, the!
former to 89 91, the latter 55 6 premium,. occa-
sioned by the continued sales of the Government
brokers, who have sold Exchequer Bills to the'
amount of 90,0001., at 52 pm., they are now quoted'
at 51 2.

Every thing in the Foreign Market has a heavy
appearance, particularly Mexican, which declined

this morning from ....491 to 481, and are now 47k;
there has been a constant succession of reports mkt-.
tive to these Bonds, witlr the. evident intent of creat-
ing an idea that the dividend would be declared for
Monday next; all these attempts seem now to have
died away, and the Stock looks extremely heavy.
Colombian Bonds- have also declined, having gone.
down to 271 S. There is nothing new to commu-
nicate relative to Shares, except in Colombian,.
which are lower, being 7 9 per share.

Consols remain at 86 for Account, with little
business; Exchequer Bi3la continue at the reduced

remium of b 1 2.

Mexican Bonds, now that every prospect of the
dividend has evaporated, seem quite lifeless, and are'
depressed to 47k; a good deal of business has been
done in them this morning, and a still further decline
is by many persons expected.

Paper.
BILLIARDS.--A curious little work, called

the Theory and Rules of the Game of Billiards, by A. Teys'
sieire, has lately been published at Paris. It is divided ion
two parts. In the first, the theory of the game is explains
l
—the means of avoiding being cheated in the choice °
maces and queues are pointed out—the laws of the collision
of bodies are detailed—the strokes which result from tilos°
laws are described—and general principles are laid dm v°
with respect to the manner of playing and of conducting
the same. The second part contains the rules of the vary'
ous games of billiards. At the end of the work is a etteAk
bulary of the terms need in the game. —.Literary Gazette'

TURKISH CHARACTER.—The primitive CIIV
racter of the Turks is a simple one; it is that:of the 140
toral or warlike nations; they are by turns active and iv
dolent, cruel and merciful ; easily excited to combat, but
with difficulty induced to labour; equally pleased amid al
toils of war and the luxury of repose. In their genera
mode of living they are temperate, and even abstemious'
implicit followed of the commands of their Prophet, joiu
haughty despisers of all other institutions. By nature thei
are frank, candid, and sincere ; hut too barbarous to considef
properly the obligation of a treaty, or the sanctity of a pri;
nese, more especially with regard to nations of a differs
'faith.—Venality seems to have been long a blot upon their
character. Integrity is the virtue of extreme simplicity Of
extreme refinement : the Turks soon passed the one point!
and never reached the other. Yet, although the possessio°
of a rich empire haetended greatly to =rapt their manner
the noble nature of the savage is still perceptible ; the geue.
rosity of the Turk is spontaneous: and even his injnstiet
though violent, has something which savours of hardibeir
and grandenr.—London Weekly Review. . tee
THE SMITHS AND THE JOHNsONg•—v'i.
hare heretofore noticed the extreme confusion into wide'
society is thrown from the application of one name to see?"
ral individuals. Every once and awhile you see it notice il./
the Papers that A. 8., who is sentenced to the peniter
tiary, is not A. 8., the son of C. D., and that E. 14!
,
who run away with a horse and Fig, is not E. F., who
lives at No. I, Blankstreet. Same names have ep
so far that they are almost as general as how,. The no.-
of Smith for instance. There are thirty-one John Stnit),'
in our city, and fourteen‘John Johnsons ! What internro
able confusion must this create in the delivery of let ,t
and the manegement of business. Whenever we en
a man to whom we have been introduced, but whose tO3/1
we have forgotten, we always call him Mr. Smith or 14;
