FOREIGN FUNDS.
Tt was thought, in the early part of the morning, that the report
of the French Ministry going to remonstrate with the King of
SPAIN on the recognition of the Spanish Loan, would have operated
considerably on the Spanish Market, butt seems the ,Bulls of Spa-
nish Stock have been disappointed, for Spanish Bonds left off yes-
terday at 21}, and opened this morning at-28, after which they fell
to 271, at which price they remain steady.

Frankfort Papers to the22d inst. reached us this morn-
ing. They state that the Municipality of Warsaw has
published the Tariff of Custom-House Duties for goods
manufactured in the kingdom of Poland with foreign
materials and exported to Russia, but do not give a
copy of it. In another column we have given an article

,0e time of the catastrophe of Sanderli, that they may
serve to make an exchange.
We have spoken of on arrangement made by an Aus-
trian Captain, by which it was said that 4,000 Greeks
bad beery conveyed from Candia to Rhodes. The fact
seems to be false, at least as far as concerns Rhodes, for
the last letters we have received from that island do
not mention it.

Accounts from Ipsara of the 23d of August say,
" The same spirit of enthusiasm continues to prevail
here in favour of independence, and relatively to any
attack which might be made on the island by the Turk-
ish fleet, the inhabitants are perfectly easy, and have
persuaded themselves that the island is impregnable.—
The only four points of Ipsara, which were rather weak,
haye been strongly fortified by art; and we may judge
of the confidence of the people in their strength, from
the fact that they still ardently wish that the Ottoman
fleet would come and attack them.

" Fdurteen brigs have sailed from this island to join
the Greek flotilla assembled at Hydra, as had been
agreed upbn. But since their departure, an Envoy from
Hydra has arrived here, and has excited new ardour by
speaking, like one inspired, of glorious prospects on the
eve of being realised, and asking for fresh assistance to
achieve the most brilliant success at sea. In conse-
quence six or eight additional vessels are fitting out with
all speed to be sent to Hydra.
" A thing which will excite surprise,, if anything can
do so in these times, is, that our Wand has sent four
vessels to blockade Samos.

K The Government of Greece has appointed an Ip-
sariot to the office of Eparch of Samos. The latter not
being able to repair to his post on account of indispo-
sition, the Ipsariots have chosen in, his room, the famous
commander of the fire ships, who repaired to Samos,
with two others who had been associated with him.—
, But the Samiots drove them away, telling them they
did not want anybody, nor any assistance from the Ip-
sariots or from Greece, to defend themselves against all
the attacks of Turkey ; that they were resolved to be
independent, and did not recognise any superior autho-
rity. The Eparch was therefore obliged to return to
Ipsara, where he has informed the Senate of the reso-
lution of the haughty Samians, whom it has been de-
termined to blockade in their island, till orders are re-
ceived from the Supreme Government."
The Bairam bas passed at Smyrna in the most satis
factory manner: not 'the slightest accident interrupted
the tranquillity which the city and neighbouring vil-
lages have long enjoyed. The Pacha resolved that on
the first day of the Bairam all the bazaars should be
open, as usual, which is unprecedented. Unfortunately,
the day after the Bairam, a drunken Turk wounded a
Greek child; and a Turk, whom the guard endeavoured
to arrest, having attempted to fire on it, was killed by a
pistol-shot. The first was immediately put in irons.—
Many persons waited on the Pacha to request his par-
don, but he was inflexible: -he caused him to be exe-
cuted in a manner that would strike terror, and his
body has been exposed to public view with that of the
second. Tie orders of the Sultan in favour of the
Greeks were never more precise, more rigorous, and
more formidable than they now are.

The following is an Extract of a Private Letter from
Madrid :

MADRID, OCTOBER 17.

The 30,000 French who are to occupy the Peninsula
will be distributed through the Provinces according to
a new territorial division. There will be in Madrid a
Marshal of France to command in chief, but not Ou-
dinot, who appears extremely disgusted with all that
takes place here. It is believed that this important
place will be sonfided to Lauriston. You 'will hear of
the repugnance which the French shew .tor the extreme
Oleawres of Ferdinand. It is a fable. When the Decree
of the ist of October came to be known here, the Libe-
rals were insulted, outraged, stoned, and beaten in the
streets. The French did not oppose these excesses, with
the exception of the gens d'armes, who snatched a few
unfortunate men from the fury of the populace, and
who next day received orders to quit Madrid.

Riego has been tried and condemned to death. He
will be transferred one of these days to the Town Prison.
Cavia was his Judge, the nephew of the Bishop of Osma,
one of the Regents, and the crime in the Act of Accu-
sation is the having voted, as a Deputy of the Cortes,
'the-deposition of the King, during his translation to
Cadiz, and the nomination of a Regency. It is it
to form 'an idea of the horrible treatment to wirich this
unfortunate man has been subjected. By a refinement
of cruelty worthy of the Serviles, the custody of his
person was confided to Zuluaga, one of the chiefs of the
rebellion of the 7th of July, who took a pleasure in
tormenting the prisoner in every possible manner. The
populace were permitted, on the first/ day, to approach
the dungeon in which Riego was confined, and to load
him with insults.

Letters from Alicant and Carthagena state, that se-
veral detachments of these garrisons, as well as the
National Militia of these two towns, and of Murcia,
Orihuela, and several others, have gone to join the army
of Ballasteros. In fact, all those who are compromised
in the Constitutional party, have everything to fear
from the re-action which is manifesting itself, in conse-
quence of the famous Decree of the Ist of October.
Exposed to become victims of the populace excited by
the Monks, they will everywhere embrace the resolu-
tion of joining the different focuses of resistance scat.

down at the Congress of Verona, and that all ae Nati
for which, in the letter of Count NESSELRODE, Uri
STRANGFOnD was requested to contend, have been et,.
ceded by the Turkish Government. The navigatj
the BLick Sea is rendered free, not only for Rut%
ships, but for those of all European countries; and ke
Porte is also understood to have given way in the cpti.
tion respecting the interchange of shipments at el.
stantinople. ' This arrangement between the two coil.
tries had obtained implicit credit at Oassa, and 401
,given increased activity to commercial operations,

In the STAR of yesterday we inserted a letter fru4
our Correspondent in Paris, announcing the importatt
intelligence, that the representations of the French
nisters and the Due d'Aernout.ENlE had been successful
in suspending the sanguinary sentences of the Xisbi4
Regency, and the terror-striking Decreestof Fut:gull
VII. and although we have not received any prezei
Papers of a more recent date than those of Saturday,}ut
we find our intelligence fully confirmed by Privatek,
ters from the French capital,

It appears, that after the Marquis de TALAau had
been empowered to remonstrate with the King of 44111,
on the fatal consequences to be apprehended from hil
decrees, the French Ministers deemed a more direct
terference necessary, and a Council was held for that
purpose on Saturday, which continued until four o'clock,
The decrees of FearourAND had justly alarmed the
French Ministers. The indiscriminate proscription of
so many thousands of individuals was likely to awake
the dormant character of the Spaniard; and the Term.
tioa of every act of a Government of three years, nue,.
sarily involving a refusal to recognise the Spanish loans,
threatened to indict a very serious loss on many Fren4
capitalists, to say nothing of the opprobrium such

'breach of faith must cast on the Klock, and on thaa
ho sanctioned it.

The subject was amply discussed in the Council ofit,
nisters at Paris, on Saturday, when it was resolved

send immediate orders to the Marquis de T4SLARO,
state in the most positive terms the determination of tim
French Cabinet not to sanction a system of terrorizm.
but to remind the KING, that if he expected the support
of France, it must be in an endeavour to conciliate tbs
various parties into which Spain is divided, and that
restore tranquillity to the country. A wish was altais.
timated to the KING, that the loans contracted forleT
the Cortes should in some measure be recognized; but,
we understand,"this point was not positively insisterlos,
from some fears that such a declaration might Me
too great a fluctuation in the price of Spanish Stock,

This measure, we understand, was adopted with the
full concurrence of the British Government, which
determined on insisting on the fulfilment of all man;
entered into between this Country and Spain.
One of our contemporaries states that another pint
has been settled by the Fiench Cabinet, that of aban,
doning the project of reconquering the Spanish Colo*
in South America. We have great doubts that any
such idea was ever entertained ; but if it had, we Are
sure the first intimation of it would have met with*
very prompt declaration on the part of the British Os,
vernment to prevent any interference with Spanish Atop
rica on the part of France.
It is said that FERDINAND VII. will, however, retain
the title of King of " the two Spain: and the Indies;
and that an attempt will be made to compel the Colonies
to pay a sum annually to Spain, as the price of Euro.
pean forbearance. As for the tine, it is of little con.
sequence, whether the 'Cleo retains it or 'tot. Greg
Britain furnished an instance how long a title could ba
retained after the power and territory had passed into
other hands; but it is ridiculous to think of demandiags
subsidy from the colonies, unless the mother cotatuy
/had the power td enforce it,
It is further said, that some commercial privileges are
to be secured for Spanish subjects ; among which are
mentioned an exemption from the tonnage.duty on
shipping, and that no commercial advantages shall be
conceded except to the mother country, and that all
other nations shall be on a perfectly equal footing.

But all these conjectures are founded on the supPo•
sition that the South American States are still cologn
Of Spain. Commercial intercourse must depend on ye.
ciprocal interests; and the Republics of Saudi Anut•
rica are as little likely to bind themselves by disadvri
tageous treaties as the Governments of Zurope.

The Times has found an auxiliary in its condemn*
tion of the conduct of the British Ministers, in an obscure
Parisian Journal, which perhaps some of our Readers
may have heard of, called the Orryantme, Ewen*.
sometimes meet," says the proverb; and the Times, whicil
condemns the British Cabinet for not aisistiat the
Constitutionalists, joins the Oriflamme, which abasesigf°r
not joining France in exterminating them, Of the iota
rectness of the reasoning of the Orifiamme, it is Daly nog
cessary to state that the Editor asserts, that if the Coo,
stitutionalists had succeeded in Spain, the Oovern°
ment of England would have passed into the hands
of HUNT and BURDETT." How well _the Ulm'
'knows English policy, and English politics; but Mg
this ignorance is more excusable than. the rot"
perversion of the Times, which asserts, Chet b 7
serving this country from war, our Cabinet sf has AP
quired nothing by its feebleness, but the contempt of
those whom it feared to contradict, and.the distrust
and hatred of those to whims it refused protection,' The
Editor of course reckon; the approbation ancl !wont%
of the British nation as nothing: but what is the hap,
