on. England at that time. '
This .inqinvenience is now removed, and Bills on
England \rill i& future be simply at. a premium or,
discount in sterling mosey, according to _the guar.-
_
tity -of them in the market. And.:..it._ is obvious,

from the evidence to which we have adverted, that
Government, in regard to its own claims, has rated the,
rix-dollar more liberally than the average state of the
currency might have justified, inasmuch as it is content
to receive 40 rix-dollars for three pounds instead of 42,
as has long been the current rate.
We think the extension of-this system to ill our Co-
lonies hkely to be attended with the utmost conveni-
ence to Commerce, as well as conducive-to simplicity
and correctness in the public accounts. We kern,
however, that the measure in question has excited a
strong sensation among some of the Trading Interest
connected with the Cap: of Good Hope, and that a re-

presentation to Government is about to be made. Until
we shall receive further information on this subject,
therefore, we are not prepared to say what case may
be made out by individuals sustaining a temporary in-
jury by the measure, though there can be little doubt
of its permanent and general utility.

This forenoon we received German Papers to the Ist
inst. They contain some intelligence from Greece of a
favourable nature. but it was partially anticipated in the
Srmt of yesterday. The following are mulcts :

FRONTIERS OF ITALY, AUGUST 21.

We are still without any news from the Mores that
can be depended upon : the latest came to us by Bey of
Zante and Corfu; but at the beginning of August, no-
thing positive was known even there of the movements
of Ibrahim and Colocotroni, and from Napoli di Ro-
mania there were no accounts. It is true there were no
want of reports ; and that of Ibrahim having been
wounded, was so general, that it obtains some credit.—
It appears also, that there have been several sanguinary
combats between the two armies or corps, in which the
Egyptian and Arabic troops, whose communications
are really cut off, have constantly been the aggressors,
but have always been repulsed with loss. The Arnauts
last landed at Navarino, are stated to have suffered very
severely on their way to Tripolizza, having beers at
one time completely surrounded, and obliged to cut
their way through the Greek corps which opposed them,
in which they succeeded, it is true, but with very great
loss, and at the expense of all their artillery, baggage, &c.
These are the accounts current inCorfu and Zaike,but still
they want further confirmation. As for the Egyptian
Beet that has returned to Alexandria, it is uncertain
whether Miaulis has been able to come up with it,
but there are some reports of an engagement in fa-
vour of the Greeks. Mistolonghi has been hard
pressed lately, -but defended, rigoTou,l4,and bad
repulsed all the attacks made ts 6 it. But it: carnet
hold out, unless the blockade by sea is raised.Fredschid
Pacha has received reinfoccements, but Will not un-
dertake anything against the Peloponnesus, till he has
taken Missoloughi. His detached corps are in Lif4dia,
and make excursions beyond Salona. Goura is obliged
to confine himself, walling all the approaches to the
Isthmus of Corinth. 'llse state of things there is not
very favourable to the Greeks, though the ThessAian
corps had lately received a check.
