STOCK EXCHANGE. TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Cons* opened this morning at 93; to 04, for the Account; with
little business doing, but soon after they fell to 931. At present
they are 9.3 f to f.
In db. month of October the following large sums will become

payable to the Public; namely, Seven Millions by Government,
on the assented Fear per Cents. Siz Millions on Dividends (re-
duced); One Million by Mr. Romansch on the Austrian, Prus-
sian, and Basilan Loans. As most of these sums will come into
the Market, they will, no doubt, cause a rise in Consols.
It is not generally known that the redemption of the Five per
Cents. of 1797, the only :Stock lit the Market bearing that rate of
Interest, takes place, according to the Act by which they were
crested, in three years after the redemption of the Navy rive per
Cents. which was effected in 18.22. This Stock is therefore re-
deemable by law in the course of next year.

We are sorry to learn, on the authority of later
ligence from Jamaica than that previously received,
that the slave insurrection was more formidable than it
at first appeared to be. The ship Richard Reynolds ar-
rived at Deal yesterday, having left Jamaica on the Ist
of July. The Captain, ROBERTS, reports that Sir J.
ELAN; with five companies of the 82d Regiment, bad
embarked on board his Majesty's ship HUSSAR, for Sst:
vannah la Mar, to quell an insurrection of the Negroes.
Some persons thought it partial, others general. When
the Richard Reynolds sailed they were setting fire to
come sugar-works in the neighbourhood.
A Leeward Island Mail has also arrived, but letters
rare not yet been delivered. It is reported in the City
that Martial Law had been proclaimed in Jamaica...-
The Mail brings accounts from Barbadoes of the Ist ef
July, and from Trinidad of the 4th, as well as letters
from the Caraccas of the 18th of June. All was tran-
quil at these places at those dates.

New Brunswick Papers to the 7th ult. and Halifax
Papers to the 18th, reached us this forenoon. The latter
contain the Address of the Inhabitants of Quebec to
his Excellency the Earl of DALHOUSIE, with his Lord-
'
ship. s Answer. The inhabitants express sentient, of
warm and affectionate regret at the departure of his
Excellency—an acknowledgment of the benefits the
Colony has derived from his administration of the
Government praises the readiness and courtesy
with which every application was received and at-
tended to—and the hope entertained of his return.—
They also express the kindest wishes for a safe and
pleasant passage to himself and Lady. These Are all
strong proofs of the high estimation in which his public
conduct and private virtues are held in Canada.

We have received Bogota papers to the 6th of June,
but they contain nothing new from Peru, and are chiefly
filled with documents relative to the affairs of the
Colombian Republic. In the latest paper, the Gaceta
de Colombia, there is a decree of the Executive, for the
encouragement of education in the cities of Ocana and
Valle-Duper, by which 10,000 dollars are appropt iated
to the former, and 9,000 to the latter, for the support
of their respective primary schools on the Lancasterian
plan, out of the revenues of the convenis suppressed in
the said cities. The residue of the revenues is directed
to be applied to the College of the Province. Among
these papers is one entitled The Constitutional, printed
in Spanish and English.

Frankfort Papers to the sth inst. and the Austrian
Observer to the 31st ult. reached us this morning.. The
Frankfort Journal feelingly alludes to the recent suc-
cesses of the Turks, while the Austrian Observer gives an
article from Smyrna of • -ery different character. The
Frankfort Paper says, .e Austrian Observer publishes
apiece of intelligence w, will spread grief and conster-
nation throughout Europe; for it is very long since
any cause excited such general ir.terest as that of the
Greeks; never was thee an occasion in which fairer
laurels were to be reaped, when the gratitude of the
people would have been more certainly secured by a
laudable intervention, than in this cause, which deeply
.interests every feeling breast, every friend to learning,
every one attached to the religion of his forefathers.
The news to which we allude is that of the fall of Ip-
sara, announced by the above-mentioned Journal."
The following is from the Austrian Observer:
41 EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MYRNA, JULY 5.

" We can give you a piece of news, the details ofd
which we have received from the mouth of a French
Captain, who was an eye-witness to the event.

Ipsara was attacked on Saturday the Sd, at four
o'clock in the morning. Foarteen thousand men were
landed from the fleet of the Captain Pubs. The Greeks,
seized with terror, scarcely attempted to defend them-
selves. Dreadful confusion arose among them : flying
on all sides, they took refuge in a fort on the sum-
mit of the mountain, and there they received the
Turks with k well supported fire of musketry. This

~,.~

Tilts from, .caitying
semen o'clock in the
in thaii power. An infi-
childriiit, who had codes►
—red to escape, in the ronfisioss, on board the large
and small boats in the harbour, almost all perished in
the waves. The French schooner sailed through- the
midst of dead bodies. It is needless to ask what the
fleet did ? already at break of day it hurtled, carrying
away the Chiefs mid the money. It is a catastrophe
which ccafirtns the ruin of the unhappy Greeks. It is
the second instance of the basest cowardice on their part."

By the Owiw GLICNIIOWZA, Captain PHILLIIO4IORI4
arrived yesterday at Portsmouth, from Cape Coast
Castle, we learn that the King of the ASHANTEES was
advancing towards that Settlement with a considerable
force: and it was understood that he had brought
with him one hundred thousand ounces of bullion and
gold dust, in the expectation that, by paying readily
for provisions, Etc. he would ensure a better supply for
his troops. It was apprehended he might do injury to
the Negro Town, but no fears were entertained for
the safety of the Castle, as it could resist any force,
however great, that was unprovided with a battering
train. Sir Officers and 150 troops had arrived from
the Cape of Good Hope, but many had fallen victims
to the unhealthy state of the climate.

Colonel SUTHERLAND was carrying on active mea-
sures. Several skirmishes had lately taken place in
the bush, under the command of Capt. BLENKASNE,
and the loss of the Ashantees was supposed to be great.
They bad surrounded the Fantee country in immense
bodies.

The squadron was thus disposed of—MAtrostoss, at
Cape Coast, to sail in a few days to the Bights of
Benin and Biafra, for the suppression of the Slave
Trade ; the DAMN, to Sierra Leone and Gambia ; SWIN-
GER, and VICTOR, in the Bights.
Letters received this morning from Trieste, confirm
the account we gave tw•o days ago, of the capture of
Ipsara, and the submission of Samos.

The last French papers announce what we from the
first anticipated—the rupture of the negociations be-
tween the French Government and the Haytian Depu-
ties, without coming to any amicable arrangement; in-
deed, while some of the French Journalists are openly
declaring the power of France to reduce St. Domingo
to entire subjection, it is not likely that the Government
of Hayti will enter into any terms which should em•
brace a cession of some of the strongest forts, as a gua-
rantee for their fulfilment.

The Journal des Debats, after quoting a letter from
Havre, which states that the rupture'of the negotiations
had spread con,tetnation through that port, and anti-
cipates, from that result, very disagreeable consequences
to the French traders in St. Domingo, adds the follow-
ing nnte:_,, We are assured that MM. Rot:an:az and
LAROZt, the Haitian Cbmmissioners, are on their re-
turn, and will embark in two or three days for Puri-
au-Prince."
It is stated, in a private -otter rom New Yo, tbat
General BRAVO had entirely succeeded in his expecti-
tirm against QUINTANAR, who had -been abandoned by
his troops. BRAVO entered Guadalaxara on the 13th
of line, amidst great rejoicings. General BRAVO,
was proceeding to open a communication with General
LA Gd% lizA, who, with a large-force, watches the coast,
to seize hunaros, in case of his landing.

In the STAR of the Sd instant we insetted, from the
Liverpool Mercury, a strange story of a dreadful mas-
sacre in a Church at Tempo, near Enridciden, which
we premised by stating that we did not believe a word
of it. Colonel DtcxaNs of the 34th Regiment, who
commanded the corps stated to have had a share in the
transaction, on seeing the statement, addressed a letter
to the Editor of the Paper in which originated, calling
upon him to give up the name and address of his in-
formant

" The article," says Colonel Dickens, " containing an aspersion
of the most serious nature on the Magistracy of the county of Fer-
managb, and the 34th Regiment acting under their orders, I consi-
der it my duty, as Commanding Officer, to contradict it in the most
public and distinct manner. It is from first to last one strain of the
grossest falsehood, and withal, so shoed, that my brother Officers
1 and myself would treat it with the contempt it deserves, and has
vile with from the Courier, were it not that the world in general,
,aisd our friends and connections in particular, might otherwise sup-
pose there was some foundation for it. On the 18th June, there
was not one soldier of the 54th Regiment in Tempo; and on the
50th May, when a Captain's party of fifty men attended at that
place, under the directionsof Sir Henry Brooke, a most respected
Magistrate of the county, se far from any mischief having been
dome, not a single man wag committed, and the party returned
to their barraCks at this place without having bad occasion to load
l%eir firelocks."

Madame CATALAN! desires us to say that the reports
which have been made concerning the Cambridge Musical Festival
given by her were incorrect, and in consequence thereof she finds
herself under the necessity of resting them, by observing, that far
from having experienced the slightest reproach, the Committee, the
President of which was Lord Messmer.; have voted her a letter
of thanks for the liberal manna to which she gave the Festival ; as
by the very eminent talent she engaged, and her own great exer-
