PITERSBURGH, JULY 28.—The committee for the
ire-organization of the fleet has been ordered by the Empe-
ror to resume its labours. His Majesty has appointed
Prince Menzikow and the Intendant-General, Golownin,
members of the committee.
" The St. Petersburgh Gazette of to-day reports (after
foreign, we believe French, papers) from Odessa, under
the date of June 24, 0.5., that according to an account
which is not yet to be affirmed as certdin, peace with Persia
was on the point of being concluded, and that the Sella!), is
to cede all the country as far as the Araxes, including the
fortress of Erivan, a tract which is stated to produce in silk
alone to the amount of 50,000,000 of francs. (Query ?)
When we consider the last accounts from the army in
Georgia, this does not seem very likely.
" HANOVER, Aye. 4.—Their Royal Highnesses the
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge set out on the 2d to
Rnmpelheim, on a visit to the Landgrave Frederick of
Hesse, accompanied by their children, Prince George and
Princess Augusta.
" STocxnotal, JULY 31.—The Gazette orAyesterday
contains a very long address from the Storthing of Norway
to his Majesty, declining to grant the sum of 280,000
dollars for continuing during the next three years the
building of the Royal Palace ; alleging as a chief reason for
their reusal, the declining prosperity of the kingdom.—
While the Storthing wishes that every thing should be done
for the accommodation of his Majesty, it thinks the plan
proposed too expensive and costly, and begs his Majesty to
submit to the next Storthing a more precise plan for the
completion of the work, which may show accurately what
the total expense is likely to be.
" His Majesty in his reply says, he finds a great contra-
diction between this address and the view of the state of
the kingdom which was given at the opening of the Storth-
ing, and he desires the Norwegian Government to compare
the two documents, it being his earnestwish to know the
real state of the country, to draw the attention of the nation
to it, and to oncert with its representatives the best mea-
sures of promoting the general welfare. His Majesty does
not at all approve of the reasons alleged for suspending a
work already begun, and which all classes of people greatly
desired to see executed ; and he observes among other things,
that if foreign trade has decreased, they must contrive to
find more employment for the people at home. This may
be done without increasing the debt, and the overplus of the
revenue in the last three years clearly proves the care of
the Government in this respect. Even the most powerful
nations have suffered a stagnation in their foreign trade, and
Norway' cannot hope to eseape the effects of it.
" BERLIN, AUG. B.—The Marquis of Hertford passed
through Warsaw on the 27th of July, on his return from
St. Peteraburgh, and arrived at Vienna on the 31st."

Montreal and Quebec Papers, the former to
le 19th, the latter to the 18th ultimo, have been

received :

Their contents are chiefly occupied in dis-
cussing the merits of the various candidates for
the honour of representing'the people in the new,
Provincial Parliament ; it is believed the contest
will be warmer than was ever known. A Gene-
ral Order from the office of the Adjutant-Gene-
ral of Militia had been published at Quebec,
under date the 12th July, by order .of the Go-
vernor-General, to one of the Ist Battalions of

the York Militia, conveying his thanks to thel
Colonel-CommEtpdant for the notice he had
taken and report made of the conduct of certain
officers under his command, in encouraging and
taking part at the public meetings tending to ex-
cite discontent in the people. The order informs
him also, that, by virtue of the powers vested in

the Governor, several officers standing in this!
situation (the names are given, consisting of ali
major, 6 captains, 1 lieutenant, and a surgeon),l
shall have their commissions cancelled, and dial
those individuals shall be enrolled as privates
militiamen. The cause of offence is, for the 'pro-
minent part taken by these degraded officers, at
the Unconstitutional Meeting, at St. Eustache,
which is considered to have rendered them unfit
to hold commissions, not on account of the
danger they are likely to effect, but as unfit from
a want of self-conduct to command others. _

The Quebec Paper ofi the 12th says, the
United States schooner, Marian, had sailed that
day, for Boston, without any outward freight,
taking back the principal part of her cargo, beef
land pork, owing to its not being permitted to
entry on, coming seawise.

Frankfort Papers, and the Allgemeine Zei4
Lung to the 9th instant, reached us last night,c
from which we make the following extracts. The
intelligence from Constantinople comes down to',
the 17th July, and leaves but little hope of the
Sultan's acceptance of the mediation of the i
Great Powers of Europe. t
RUSSIA.—The Vasiosoy frigate, of 44 guns, belonging 1
to the fleet that sailed from Cronstadt, was wrecked upon;
a rock in sight of the harbour of Revel ; the crew and ;
effects were saved. The Emperor had assigned it to
Count Kotschubey and his family to convey them to Revel. 1
The stormy weather had luckily induced them to leave the ,
ship before the accident, and to continue their journey by
land. I
ODESSA, JULY 31.—Letters from' Constantinople, of
the 17th July, leave but little hopes of thy Sultan's coo-1

'senting to agree to the propoal of the Mediating Powers.
(On the contrary, it is reported in Pere, that the Sultan
,had signified his displeasure in the strongest terms, and in
'conformity with the preceding declaration had expressly
prohibited the Reis Effendi from entering upon any farther
`negociations on the subject. The warlike preparations be-
come daily more serious, though, hitherto, their osten-
!sible object is strictly confined to the suppression of the
Greek insurrection. Except a corps of Bor 10,000 men
near Adrianople, no preparations are making on the side
of the Danube, from which it may be inferred that the
Porte knows itself to he secure in that quarter.
DRSSDEN, JULY 31.—Yeaterday a Royal Proclamation
was issued, as usual, at the commencement of a new reign,
promising to protect and uphold the Protestants in all their
rights and privileges, the Catholics to enjoy the exercise of
their religion on the same footing as the Protestants, and
tke members of both churches to enjoy, without restriction,
equal civil and political rights. Christians of the Greek
church, who are in the kingdom, are to enjoy the same
civil rights.

SWITZERLAND, AUo 3.—ln the Sitting of the 23d of
July, notes were read to the Diet from M. de Maltzen,
Minister of Bavaria; and M. de Herzog, Counsellor of Fi-
nance of Wurtemburg. These notes, communicating the
Commercial Convention concluded between the two king-
doms, express a desire to know if Switzerland is inclined to
join in it. The commissioners of the two kingdoms were
ready to confer with those whom Switzerland might ap-
poir, and did not hesitate to give the assurance that the
transit 'and importation of the principal productions of
Switzerland would be favoured.

The Diet unanimously resolved to appoint commissioners
o hear the overtures announced, and to make a report on
diem.

New York Papers to the 25th July were re-
ceived last night, having been brought to Liver-
pool in twenty days. They state, 01,4 the autho-
rity of letters from Port-au-Prince, that a con-
spiracy, having for its object the murder of Pre-
sident BOYER, had been discovered, and four
Haytian Officers had been shot. The following
paragraph spews that the Slave Trade was still
carried on 'from the Island of Cuba with all the
horrors usually attendant on it.

SLAVE TRADE. —This abominable traffic, we regret
to end, is still prosecuted with energy from the Island of
Cuba. By an arrival at Charleston, we learn, that "e
schooner from the coast of Africa, with 250 negroes, came
to anchor about four leagues off Trinidad de Cuba on the
29th of June. She landed the negroes at night, and en-
tered on the Slat under Dutch colours. She was dis-
patched from St. Jago de Cuba : this is her third trip
within a short time. She lost 110 on her passage."

His Majesty's brig Britomart, Captain Cha-
'niter, had arrived at Tampico, from Vera Cruz, prior to
the 20th June. She is stated to have received at the latter
port 400,000 dollars, and was to receive 50,000 more at
Tampico, from which she would proceed to Havannali and
England. The Britomart may be expected in a week or
ten days. Estiva, the late Finance Minister at the city of
Mexico, who had returned, was not appointed Governor at
Vera Cruz, but Superintendant, and the cause of refusirg
to receive him in that capacity arose from his being a menu'
her of the Yorkino, a lodge which was founded by. Mr.
Poinset, the American Envoy, which was held in great
I horror.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELvB o' Moor.

The English Funds opened this morning at 89i I
for account, and 894 4 for October ; a trifling rise
afterwards took place to 894 4 for this, and 4 for
next time, but they have net continued at that prices
having gone back to 89 4 for August account; the
market is not so good, money being rather more
scarce; but as the Courts of Chancery shut , to'
morrow, an expectation is entertained that sales of
money Stock - may probably be made from thh'
quarter. The French Funds have come over at
better prices, the Five per Cents. at 104.4.5, afld
the Three per Cents. at 73 50, India Bonds are
92 4, and Exchequer Bills, 59 60 pm.
The trifling transactions which have taken place
in the Foreign Funds have been chiefly in Mexicali
Bondi, which are slowly recovering from the panic
which took place in this security yesterday afternoon
in consequence of the report of disturbances ifavifig
broken out in the Republic; more importance was
given to it than it deserved, if, in fact, it deserved
any. We would rather consider the intelligence
of their raisin; a loan, if wanted; among there
selves, as a proof of the stability-of their. Govern'
ment than otherwise; the offers made have►
however, been on such high terms as •to induce

them to not accept the propositions ; the present
price is 6844 ; Colombian, 304 1; Greek are a shade
better, from the arrival by the Hamburgh steamer 0'
;the Count Capp d'lstria, and are 15 4; Real de/
Monte Shares were done at 30 pm. yesterday; the
present price is 20 to 25; the other Shares rem"'
in slcau quo, except Brazilian, which have been
bought at 13 pm. It is a circumstance which
w 4 are sorry to mention that of the daily instance,'
of dishonesty which so frequently, occur among
the Clerics in the City, three or four instance;
