BANCA.

By recent accounts received from Banca, it is stated
that that island, which, since its occupation by Euro-
peans is 1811, has had frequent visitations of sickness,
has just been visited by a violent and fatal epidemic,
in the fours of a remittent fever, which has swept off a
number of the Public Functionaries and European
troops, and vast numbers of the Chinese population.—
It is singular that this island, the loss of which by the
Convention of 1815, was at the time a matter so much
regretted by the British nation, has proved nothing to

Bombay Papers have arrived to the 15th of May,
and those of Singapore to the Ist of April, conveying
very important intelligence. The fears of the King of;
SIAM had been so worked on by his lordly and power-
ful neighbour, the Burmese Emperor, that he felt him-
self almost under the necessity of making common
cause with him, till happily, hearing of our victories on
the coast, he was released from his former appreben-,
sions, and had willingly entered into an alliance with
the British Authorities. Thus the enemy is entirely cut
off from the sea coast, which may now be made the base
of a series of military operations, all cotverging to the
Capital, and rendering the ultimate subjugation of the
Birman Empire a matter of moral certainty. In addi-
tion to our intelligence of yesterday, it is strongly re-
purled in private letters, but we fear prematuteiy, that
both Donabew and Prome, two of the eaemy's chief
strong holds, had fallen to Sir A. CAMPBELL. For
this, considering the date of his last dispatches and that
of the letters in question, there was scarcely time.

We have copied from the Etoile of Wednesday, an
article under the head of Nuremberg, professing to
give the substance of a remonstrance made by the REIS
EFFENDI to Mr. TURNER, our Charge d'Affaires at
Constantinople, on the subject of the assistance ren-
dered by English individuals to the Patriots of Greece.
From internal evidence, we are inclined to think those
details somewhat authentic, more especially from the
concluding part, in which it appears that Mr. TURNER,
on being threatened by the ItEts EFFENDI with ho ti-
lities, replied with the spirit of a true-born Briton. He
declared, with great energy, th it the Porte had
" been more than once indebted for the preservation of
a its existence to the Crown of theat Britain, and that
" the latter was not to be intimidated by threats."--
Such, we hope, will ever be the language of the Re-
presentative of a King of England, in reply to the
threats of any and every Power; and, in this instance,
it produced its effect, in extorting, subsequen! ly, a
milder written communication from the Turkish Mi-
nister. We sincerely wish that the moment may be
improved for a direct and manly interposition on be-
half of our fellow Christians, to obtain, by negociation,
that moderate degree of Independence for Greece, at
the expense even of pecuniary indemnity, which, al-
though they may ultimately wrest from the oppressor,
w;11 yet be accompanied with such scenes of misery
as humanity shudders to contemplate. As to the
threats of the Porte, the Divan has not forgotten the
last visit of a British fleet, which lay under the walls
of the Seraglio, and which, but for the unhappy mis-
take of our Admiral taking up the pen instead of his
good sword, and so allowing himself to be amused with
long negotiations till his retreat was well nigh cut off,
might have dictated peace in three hours, or laid Con.
stantinople in ashes.

The Dardanelles may again be passed, as thesTurks
well know, by a fleet under better management, and
which, if matters come to that pass, can in a single day
change the Ottoman Dynasty, if it should refuse to
listen to reasonable compromise. All threats, there-
fore, from that quarter, may fearlessly be disregarded,
except on the single score of the personal safety of our
countrymen and their families, who are dispersed over

_

the territory of a fanatical and Serni-barbatous people.,
The welfare of those innocent I ersons we would not
willingly put to hazard.
This forefioon we received the Aust, ian ()Lyra* of
the 18th ins% It contains no later accounts from Greece,
but details at great length the opening of the Hunga-
rian Diet at Presburg, and the prepara ions making
for the Coronation r.f the Empress of AusrittA as
Queen of Hungary, on the 2.5 th imtant. Their Imperial
Majesties were to arrive at Presburg on the 17th inst.

Accounts have been received this fotenoon from Paris,
stating that specie to the amount of forty millions of
francs, with several bills rn Hamburgh and other towns,
have arrived from Hayti, as part of the price of the
French qualified recognition of the independence of that
country. This seasonable supply is expected to relieve
M. DE VILLELE from all uneasiness about his financial
plans. The French Funds are expected to rise con-
siderably.

The decree of the King of SPAIN appointing a new
Junta for financial purpose,,, chiefly chews the obsti-
nacy of the infatuated Ma.t trch ; for, although his
treasury is empty, his army in arrears, and many t f
the public officers unpaid, he yet pertinaciously refuses
to do that act of justice by which alone his necessities
can be relieved—the acknowledgment of the loans he
sanctioned, and the proceeds of which he received
during the existence of the Constitutional Government.
This Junta, principally consisting of Bishops, is to pre-
pose the resources which can be made applicable to
the exigencies of the State, cover the yearly deficit, and
" pay with religious exactness the interest on the
legitimate and acknowledged debts of the State." This
is a distinction important to the holders of the Corms
Bonds, as it positively excludes them.

A letter from Madrid of the 19th inst. states, that M.
TASSIN had arrived in that capit.4l, and had made pro.
positions, on the part of certain French bankers, for a
loan to the Spanish Government. They propose, it is
said, w undertake the loan on commission, and that its
am,unt sh ill be the moderate sum of £24,000,000 ster-
ling, in five per cent. Stock, with the interest payable
in Paris at the rate of six per cent. This stock is to be
irredeemable, and the contractors require that the pro-
duce of the tobacco duty, and of the customs generally,
shall be pledged for the payment of the interest, and
for the sinking fund. The Paris bankers claim a six
per cent. commission on the loan, and offer an imme-
diate advance of £2,000,000 sterling. This project, if
such an one has been formed, which we much doubt,
must fall to the ground ; for there is not a banker in
Christendom would take the word of FERDINAND VII.
for a ducat, and he cannot give security for the repay-
ment of a single million, much less tsentyfour mil-
lions sterling.

A letter from Ferrol, of the 10th September, states
that an expedition of about 3,000 men will sail for the
Havanna on the 15th or 20th instant. It is said the
men were almost pressed on board, and that fears are
entertained that they will mutiny. It is reported, that
at Grenada, Tarifa, and Tortosa, the Carlists have com-
mitte3 great excesses against the Constitutionalists.
Tie state of feeling in Spain may he judged of by the
following account, which we quote farm the Courier
liancais :
" In the sanguinary re-actions which have desolated Spain since
the restoration, two men have signalise d themselves by a ferocity of
which even the Spanish character furnishes few examples. The first
is Chaperon, who always presided at the executions, and even some-
times assisted the executioner ; the other is Ruffino Gonzales,
brand purveyor to the military commission and public executioner.
These two sanguinary men have been implicated in Bessieres' plot
and recently banished from Madrid. Chaperon has been sent into
the south of Spain, and Gonzales to Pampeluna. The latter has
arrived at his destination, and if we may rely on the Ecko du Midi,
the following is an account of his reception :--tßuifino Gonzales
is at large ; on the road he was escorted by two police guards ;
be is now lodged at the Carpus Hotel. The authorities of
Pampeluna and people of all classes have eagerly visited him.
The Spanish Royalists will not forget the service, rendered to legi-
timacy by M. Gonzales. It is only the Revolutionists of Spain
Who can be against that ationile man.' One may judge, both by
the proceedings of the authorities, and the welcome given by the
fanatics to a man loaded with public execration, and under the dis-
pleasure of Government, of the spirit which reigns in the provinces
of the Peninsule ; and of the little ellict produced by the execution
of Bessieres on the Carlist party."
