STUCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Alfeat deal of business was done this morning In the Maher

Is said that most of the Brokers will settle their differences
amongst themselves, and take what is offered to them. AU fo-
reign securities have Eaten this morning. New Spanish Bonds
were done at an early hour at 591 since which they have
lowered to Se*. Every person in the market seems to be sky

A prompt is to be paid today, at the India House, of half a

This forenoon we received a Flanders and Dutch
Mail, with Brussels Papers to the 26th instant, and
Dutch papers one day later. They confirm the re-
port of the Greeks having seized several Turkish ves-
sels in the roads of Damietta.

Colonel Vox Goncum has boo engaged since the
end of last month, together with the. Commissioner
of his Majesty the King of Famtca, in surveying
and finally determining the limits between the two
kingdoms, from the Sambre to the Meuse.
Letters from Paris affirm, that several Dignitaries
of the Order of Malta mow in that capital, have well-
foanded hopes of seeing their applications to the So-
vereigns met at Verona completely successful. The
great difficulty wid be to give them an island iu the
Mediterranean for the Seat of the Order.

England will never consent to give np Malta, which
insures its maritime supremacy in these seas, and which
fortunate circumstances have placed in its hands.—
Sardinia is again thought of, and it is even said that
proposals have been made to the Court of Turin to
cede that island, on receiving a sufficient indemnity.
What we here say, is founded on information received
at Paris from Verona, which seems to be of a nature
to merit attention.

iI German Papers assert, that a resolution is again
stated to have been taken by the Congress at Verona,
1 relative to individuals condemned by the tribunals in
'their own country for political offences, and who have
sought an asylum in foreign States. The following
are extracts :

FRANKFORT, NOVEMBER si.

The O,iental Spectator contains the following ar.
tide, dated Smyrna, October 18 :
ig According to positive information which we
have received from Damietta subsequent to the 15th
of September, four Greek Insurgent vessels, sus-
pected to be Cazziots, came to the roads of Damietta,
where, without loss of time, they made themselves
snasters of 13 small Turkish vessels or barks, which
had their :argoes on board. One of them had nearly
a million of piastres ; the whole was intended for the
Turkish fleet. The Greeks chose three of these ves-
sels, into which they removed the cargoes of all the
others, consisting chiefly of rice. They took away
these three and left the others: they did not even
touch the cargo of one which had goods on board
bearing European marks."
Accounts from Vienna of the 16th November have
been received at Frankfort, by express. At the same
time news was received of the falling of the French
and Spanish bonds; they had also llessenfromiTerona,
the contents of which were fiery pacific. They stated,
among other particulars, that the Congress would
close by the end of the month, before which time all
its labours would be completed. These accounts
have had ss favourable effect here oa the price of the
Austrian funds.

VERONA, NOVEMBER U.

It was thought. some time ago, that Om twaeuatiosi
of PleaKet bYtho 44striA4 Imps was a point agraad

~a

cop Soen-in theofoliminity canferdtseis which took
place* at 'Vienna between Prince IVl:etternich and the
Ministers of the other great Powers. It is now re-
ported, however, that unexpected dilicukies have
arisen on. this subject, because Austria judges it re-
quisite for the maintenance of tranquillity in the
kingdom of Lombardy and Venice, to retain, for a
certain time, a numerous garrison of its own troops
in the fortress of Alexandria.
Cardinal Spina has exerted hiniself in favour of the
Greek Deputation lately landed at Ancona ; and, it
should seem with some success, the Congress having
Lied Rovendo, four leagues from this place, as the
temporary abode of the Greek Deputies. Thence'
they will send to the Sovereigns a detailed memorial
on the present state of their country. If this news'
should, prove true, it is a great point gained ; and it
is not doubted, that after the arrival of Count Capo
d'lstria and of Baron Stroganoff, the Deputies will be
allowed to come here, to give the' necessary informa-
tion to guide the Ministers in their deliberations on
the affairs of Greece and Turkey.

Bayonne Papers to the 22d instant reached us this
forenoon. The following is the only interesting ar-
ticle they contain:
BAYONNIE. NOVEMBER 11.
A report has just been spread in this city, that Ge-
neral Torrijos, who had been fur some days in the
vicinity of Salvatierra, four leagues from Vittoria,
at the head of about 2,500 men, had an engagement
on the 15th with the united bands of Navarre
and the three ptovinces in the Valley of La Boronda,
and that he completely routed them. We cannot
guarantee this news.
It is affirmed that three batteries, of eight pieces of
cannon each, have received orders to march for this
place at the first notice.
Major-General Longa arrived yesterday at Socoa,
flying from the Constitutionalists. It is known that.
he was implicated in the affair of the 7th of July, and
that he had even shewn himself on that day. Yes-
' terday, sonic unfortunate inhabitants of Estella, who
had been taken prisoners by Guerguet and Arre-
dendo, and who saved their lives only by promising
a sum of money, caused 50,000 francs to. be paid to
the Defenders of the Faith who are at Bayonne.—
People even go so far as to mention the House which
has advanced the money, which is truly scandalous.

All the accounts from Verona, whether in private
letters direct from that city or in the French Papers,
concur in representing the labours of Congress as
drawing to a close : but as to what those labours have
really been, the Gentlemen of Verom. appear to
know as little as the inhabitants of Otaheite or Kamts-
chatka. They talk of Sittings held on such and such
days, and cf the subjects supposel to be discussed,
but there is not a word that can be relied on how
they terminated, We are told that the first object of
the Allies was to put an end to the war in Spain, but
while they have been deliberating, MXNA and the
Constitutional forces under his command have pretty
nearly done that business without the pestilential in-
terference of the Holy Alliance : had this not been
the case, the firmness of the British Cabinet in pro-
tecting Spain from foreign attack, must have neu-
tralised the intentions of the other Powers. Ns to
what the Congress may do or attempt to sio in the
affairs of Greece the Public "is weary of conjecture."

In the STAR of yesterday we stated, on the autho-
rity of a French Paper of
.Tuesday, which we had
received by express, that a Commercial Treaty had
been concluded between this country and Spain. We
have now received the other Paris Journals of the
same day, all of which contain the same statement
and it appears to have created some uneasiness iri
Paris. The Constilutionnel says— " If this news
should unfortunately prove true, our trade will owe
the serious injury it must experience to the absurd
and anti-national fury of the fanatical party. But
what signifies our commerce or our manufactures ?
The cause of the Inquisition and absolute power in
Spain is far more important to the prosperity 6f
France."

According to information from Madrid, declared
to be well authenticated, authority was granted to,
the Executive Government, in the sitting of the Cortes
oa the 14th instant, to negotiate a Commercial Treaty
with Great Britain. The intelligence from Spain is
highly gratifying. We yesterday announced that the
Trappist had abandoned the rebels to their fate.

The French Government, as we are informed, has
official intelligence of the total defeat of Baron
EnoLas, who is blamed of course for baying lost the
fight, by engaging, as all unfortunate Commanders
are said to do, either too early or too late, or by some
other species of es pest facto imprudence. On the
side of Navarre, the General Toaauoa commands at
Vittoria, with 7000 men, where there seems to be no
enemy to combat, unless Baron d'AuTten.tur should
descend from the Pyrennees, to try what he can make
of those whom some of the Paris Journals, with equal
taste and veracity, densieninate the .1 beaten" Spa-
niards. MITA is said to have entered ,Puycerda. 1
A letter frau Paris reports, though not from offi-
cial authority, yet, as we believe, from respectable
quarters, that the Congress has actually closed its
labours. The Sovereigns, as might have been fore-
seen, have not been unanimous in their resolutions.

appal to Spain ill the forth of an oasis' not,

CORFU, OCTOBER 24.

The army of the Albanian league has been beaten.
From Tricala they write, dated October 11 :
Odysseus and Contoyanne have just destroyed 8000
more Turks in the defiles of Trachis, the advanced
post of the Thermopylae. They were the last rein-
forcements which Chourschid Pacha had received
from Romelia, and which he had immediately put in
motion under the orders of Vragna Pacha. These j
fatal gates of Thessaly and Locridi have become in
1822 the grave of more than 20,000 Turks. Odys-
seas has advanced to Democos, and is now on the
way to Harmgros, to support the Greeks of Mount
Pelion. Stouuaze occupies Aspropotaman, and Chasia
Tassos holds Olympus, and has cut off the commu-
nications of Chourschid with Salonica. The latter
only possesses the great plains of Larissa and Cour-
navos. Cassandra is again occupied by its inhabit-
ants, commanded by their intrepid Chief, Diamantes.
The Turks have lost all their confidence in their
superiority.

The Echo du Midi gives a letter from Urgel, dated
the 15th, which contains the following statements:
48 As I informed you in my last, the Trappist (Don
Anton Maragnon) arrived here in time to discover a
conspiracy which might have done us serious injury.
The day after his arrival he visited the fort, wishing
to exercise the artillery in firing. He found one bat-
tery in which the guns were chiefly loaded with sand,
and others in which the balls had been put before the
powder. Suspecting some treachery, he asked the
Commandant of the fort and Commander of the ar-
tillery to come into the town and assist him in inves-
tigating this affair; but the Commandant, supposing
that he might be compromised, returned into the fort.
The Trappist presented himself there again, but ad-
mission was refused him. He succeeded, however,
in getting in by a stratagem, and, assisted by the
faithful Royalists, 'he arrested and imprisoned the
traitors. After this transaction he left us, it is said,
for Navarre."
A private letter, dated Urgel, the 16th, adds what
follows The Trappist, who arrived here an Tues-
day last, and who was supposed to be destined to
command the place, set out to-day for France."
Another letter, (4' the same date, says—" Romanillo
is not the only traitor: it is believed there are a good
many more among the Royalist Chiefs. There has
even been a plot in the fort for giving it up to Mina's
soldiers. Four pieces of cannon were found to be
loaded with anything else than powder. There is no
doubt that if Mina had continued his march on the
9th and 10th by Organga, that he would have taken
this place without firing a shot."
PUYCERDA, NOVEMBER 11.
We have the Regency and Provincial Junta of Ca-
talonia here. About 60 cavalry of Romanillo's divi.
sion have just entered this place, which is crowded
with troops and strangers. I send you none of the
news of the moment—l should perhaps be obliged to
contradict them by the first courier.
FOIX, NOVEMBER so.
The famous Trappist has passed through this city,
on his way from Puycerda to Toulouse. The arrival
of this quondam General, in his cassock, was a sort of
event for us. All the inhabitants, from different mo-
tives, wished to see the man who has been so preached
up by his party. Some expected to see a giant, but
they were grievously disappointed. He was in the
Trappist habit, but he carried neither sword nor pis-
tols, as in the days of his glory. All our devout
Ladies kissed hiltands, and wished him prosperity.
The Trappist stopped only two hours, during which
he visited the Prefect.
This journey of the Trappist bas dismayed all his
partizans. They can no longer doubt the defeat and
complete destruction of the Army of the Faith in
Catalonia. They still rested their hopes on Baron
d'Eroles ; but in a few hours after, the arrival at the
inn of his family and baggage, on their way to Tou-
louse, was announced.
We are assured that the Regency, is completely
dissolved, and that the army no longer exists. Monks
and other personages are every moment arriving from
Puycerda. Persons worthy of credit, who have just
come from that town, state, that Mina has so well
manoeuvred, that he has succeeded in cutting off all
communication between Catalonia and Arragon, and
that he was expected at Urgel on the 21st or 22d of
this month.

CITY BuslwEss.—Yesterday the LORD MAYOR pro-

fallen on Lawn LEwis, Esq. His Lordship there-
upon proceeded to the Hustings, accompanied by
several of the Aldermen, and dissolved the Common

also transacted.

Wntnsoa Carrt.s.—Considerable improvements are going on
in the &ate apartments of the Castle, for the residence of the
King. For many years it has been suffered to go into decay, ar,d,
except those rooms occupied by Queen Charlotte and her
tete, all the rest were uncomfortable, and many of them in a
ruinous condition. Those apartments, especially the room
which his late Majesty died, are to remain sacred and unli st
Here is still the simple old bed on which the King breathed !;:s
last—the large arm-chair in which he so often sat, and the sLat•
tered harpsichord with which, during his illness, he so frequcn:li
amused himself. This room Is to be kept locked, and the
hag rooms, in which be occasionally took exercise, are like%
to be locked up. The library,which before the King's last
had in pall been removed, by Royal order, from Buckin;l3..-.1
House, has been re.conveyed thither, and the rooms will be con-
verted to his present Majesty's ore. The /tam which originally
extended round the Castle, and had a most characteristic effect,
will be restored; it was filled up by the late King many years ago.

and the one adjoining, the Royal library, which contains a mar
