LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1929.

His Royal liig}mess the Elector of CASSEL
ias been pleased to nominate as his Minister of

Finances Baron ANSELNI DE ROTHSCHILD,

[c son of Baron SOLOMON DE ROTHSCHILD,

in doing which his Highness seems to have di-
rected' his eye to the proper quarter.

It would seem by amour ts from Rome that
the New Pope is daily becoming more popular.
He has already manifested a disposition to exer-
cise his high power on the most liberal and
tolerant principles—being a system of conduct
directly opposed to that of his late pre-
decessor, who deprived Christians as well
as Jews of the protection of the Romish
Church, in so far as their civil privileges
and immunities were concerned, and which they
were permitted to enjoy under former Pontiffs.
The New Pope has annulled all these privations
and prohibitions, and has restored the Hebrews
as well as Christians of every denomination to

the full enjoyment of all their former privi-
leges. This liberality on the part of his HOLI-
NESS was appreciated with due respect and
veneration, and gave birth to feelings of the most
lively joy among the inhabitants of Rome. We
have no doubt that this gracious concession must
have been made by the Pope in compliment to
the Duke of WELLINGTON'S glorious settle-
ment of the Catholic Question, the blessed
effects of which, both at home and abroad, must
daily be more and more felt and appreciated.

Hamb(ugh, Brussels, and German Papers, to
a late date, have been received this morning.
An article from Ancona says, that the Rus-
sians were on the point of making an at-
tempt to pass the Dardanelles with their squa-
dron in the Mediterranean, and that this attempt
was connected with a movement of the Russian
fleet in the Black Sea—the combined force to
attack Constantinople. We pointed out the pro-
bability of such a movement ten months ago,
and at the time that Admiral RICORD pro-
ceeded to the Mediterranean :

Livadia.

We learn, by means of a French merchantman, tha.
there had been some misunderstandings between the Greek
chiefs, to which the Turks were indebted for their tempo-
rary advantages in Eastern Greece, but that the firmness
of the President had restored order, and that the reverses
sustained by Ypsilanti's corps had been retrieved. The
Turks ate stated to have been totally defeated at the latter
end of April near Kaprena, and repulsed to Flockori, close
to the Thermopylae. The merit of these fortunate events is
ascribed to the brother of the President, to whom the Go-
vernment of Eastern Greece is entrusted. The organization
of the Greek army gradually improves, and the presence of
the French contribute greatly to it ; it is now divided into
corps, which bear the names of all the provinces. The
Albanians and Turks in Thessaly are at variance with each
other, and that province suffers severely by the ravages
which both co.nmit. Their quarrels,-however, are to the
advantage of the Greeks, as it is well known that the Al-
banians always serve that party to which they are attracted
by the offer of bightr pay, or temporary hatred to the other
party.
It is affirmed that Admiral Heyden has sent some ships
to the Asiatic coast; to prevent the Egyptians from land-
ing troops or corn there. It was even affirmed at Egina,
that the Russian squadron had received orders to make an
attempt at a certain titne to pass the Dardanelles. It was
added, that this attempt was to be cannected with a move-
ment of the Russian squadron from the Black Sea, and in
this manner Constanticople to be attacked by a large
naval force. It is recollected that the English formerly
forced that passage, and that Admiral Duckworth was re-
strained from pursuing his advantages only by the appre-
hension thaS he should not be able to return to the Medi-
terranean, Thtre would be uo room for such an appre-

bensign in the case of the Russian fle t," which would be
supported by the whole naval force of the Black Sea.

VIENNA, APRIL 15.

The mail from Constantinople is at length arrived.

CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 26.
The Sultan has not yet left the capital, but the prepa-
rations for his departure continue.
The distress arising from the scarcity of provisions has
not yet abated, though the Government does its utmost to
remedy the evil. The fleet is ready to sail to the Black
Sea, or as some say to the White Sea (Sea of Marroora) to
engage the Russians. According to the reports of Redschid
Pacha to the Sultan he had satisfied the Albanians before
his departure, and with the exception o:`ihree chiefs had
made new agreements with them. We have nothing cer-
tain from the theatre of war. Hussein Pacha is collecting
all the troops between Choumla and Adrianople. The
consequence of the landing of the Russians at Iniada has
been, that the Greeks living at the entrance of the Bos-
phorus have been obliged to leave their villages, and they
are now occupied by Turkish troops. The Sultan has
applied to the Mosques for a loan, but the Ulemas have
not yet come to any decision about it. The apprehen-
sions caused by the dearness of provisions increase, and
have perhaps delayed the departure of the Sultan, meantime
all the firmans lately issued prove that lie intends to per-
severe in the course which he has hitherto followed, and
to exert all his efforts to oppose his enemies both foreign
and domestic to which famine is now to be added.

VIENNA, APRIL 14.

The Austrian Observer contains a long article from
Greece, including a report of Demetrios Ypsilanti, slated
Arachova, relative to the expulsion of the Turks from

BRUSSELS, APRIL 23.

In the Second Chamber of the States General a royal
message was read, accompanying several documents rela-
tive to the Decennial budget. Among the petitions pre-
sented was one from forty-five wine merchants at Amster-
dam, opposing the increAse of the duty on that article,
and another from twenty-three proprietors of vineyards
in the vicinity of Huy, asking for a reduction of the excise
duty on wines, the produce of the kingdom, and at all
events deprecating the addition of 30 per cent. to the duty
on that article. On the 24th the debate on the law relative
to the Press commenced.

BERLIN, APRIL 22.

Private letters from St. Petersburgh say that, at the time
of the catastrophe at Teheran, the lady of the Russian am-
bassador, with one of tke officers of the legation, was at
Tauris, and thus escaped the massacre.

The Emperor of RUSSIA is now expected at
Warsaw on the Bth of May, and at Berlin by
the Ist of June. If his Imperial MAJESTY
really means to take the field in person, we do
not think he will visit Berlin before his return
from the army, unless indeed he has some poli-
tical matters to settle in which his personal pre-
sence is indispensable.

Accounts from Gibraltar of the 6th inst. state,
that a strong southerly wind has driven several
vessels on the coast of Spain, where they have
been unfortunately lost.

A letter from Widdin of the 30th March
mentions that a report prevailed there of Admiral
GREIG, with the Russian fleet, having suddenly
appeared at the mouth of the Bosphorus to
blockade Constantinople. That such an evemt
will take place we have little doubt, but we do
not believe that the Russian fleet was in a con-
dition to put to sea so soon.

An article in the French Papers, received this
;morning, dated Consta►►tinople the 16th March,
says that great rejoicings took place in that
capital on the 15th, in consequence' of the un-
expected arrival of two ships laden with pro-
visions. These vessels were obliged to enter
the port by stress of weather ; and so fervent was
the enthusiasm of the Turks for this providential
succour, that they considered it as a miracle, caused
by the intervention of the Prophet. The
Mosques were spontaneously opened in cor►se-
quence, to return thanks to MAHOMET. Now
if this be so, it shows pretty clearly that Con-
stantinople must have been in an awkward pre-
dicament for provisions before so much joy
would be displayed for the arrival of such a dis-
proportionate supply as two vessels. The Rus-
sian blockade seems to work well.

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVR o'CLoca.

With the resumption of business at the Stock
Exchange to-day there has been no increase of ac-
tivity, and the appearance of the market is nearly a
blank ; indeed, so little fluctuation has of late talieii
place, and the occupation of the Brokers is so com-
pletely done away with, that many are seeking to em-
ploy their talent in occupations of a different descrip-
tion, whilst others are either dissolving their partner-
ships or winding up their accounts. Up to the present
hour there has been but one price for Consols, both
for money and time, 88 4. India Bonds, 50 2 pm.;
Exchequer Bills, 59 60 pm.
In the Foreign Funds there is not the slightest
movement; Brazilian Bonds are nominally 53 4;

LA PETIT LAZARY.—The performances at
the Argyle Rooms reflect a great deal of credit on Messrs.
MArrr.v, for their exertions to please the Nobility
and Gentry of the Metropolis. M. Junts DE ROVNRIC
certainly exceeds all others we ever saw in feats
of slight of hind and optical illusion. Harlequin's
Table d' Hote is a most wonderful exhibition, and was
received with loud applause. The house fills nightly to
witness the performance.
