FRANKFORT, OCTOBER a.

The Sinyrnenn gives various accounts from the Greek
island:. One from Casso, of the 19th August, says-
4, We enjoy perfect tranquillity under the Governor
whom the Vice-Roy of Egypt has sent us. We have
just given up our large vessels, and have nothing but
small boats left. Sensible people are glad of it. We,
hope that restless spirits will have no opportunity to
plunge us into fresh misfortunes; we have had enough
of revolutions."

The report of a Spanish Loan being contracted fur at Paris, does
not gain credit on 'Change. It is only thought some Spanish
Bonds have been received there, to be negotiated by certain Agents
of the Spanish Government, who were to try the pulse of the Eng-
lish Market before they took a Spanish Loan.
This day is a Holiday at the Stock Exchange, Bank, and Fo-
reign Market, in consequence of which a great number of brokers
have assembled on the Royal Exchange, and Consols are doing, but
to no great extent, at 96i i for the Account ; Mexican 603 to
French Scrip I.

In a preceding page we have given some further de.'
tails of the successes of the Greeks, which, though of
a less splendid character than at first represented, are
important, and would almost seem decisive of the pre-
sent naval campaign ; for with the activity the Greeks
manifest, it is scarcely possible that the fleet of the
Capitan PACIIA can effect anything, unless, indeed,
it should be joined by the Egyptian fleet, which seems
seinewhat doubtful.

Indeed, it appears that the Pacha of EGYPT leas neverl
been sincerely desirous of giving his assistance to the
Forte
.for the subjugation of the Greeks, any further
than the prosecution of the designs of the Divan might
agree with his own ambitious projects. We suspected
that his wishes were fixed on the Island of Candia, and
we find, from the last numbers of the Smyrncan, that
no doubt of the fact exists in the Levant. That Journal
has published several letters from CAndia, which un-
questionably prove the intentions of the PACII A to add
that important Island to the vast territory l►e has al-
ready under his authority.

The Editor of the Snurnean seems to consider the
acquisition ai completely made, though, according to
other intelligence, the troops of :MEHEMET AL: occupied
only those places into which the Turkish gatrisons had
admitted them. The Greeks, who were defended by
inaccessible mountains, had the entire command of the
country.
As some incorrect versions of the Proclamation issued
by the LORD HIGH COM NI ISSIONER of the Idnian Isles
have gone forth, we subjoin a correct copy: our opi-
nion as to the necessity of issuing such a Proclamation

until the Greekslevoke that which gate rise to it a e
before the public. The following is the Proclamation :
► PROCLAMATION.
k. HIS EXCELLENCY LIKUToOENERAL SIR FREDERICK
ADAM, CI C.S. MAAS. HIS NAJOKTY'S LORI) HIGH COM-
MISSIONER IN AND TO THE UNITED &TATES OF THE
lONIAN ISLANDS, &Z. &C.

" Whereas, a Proclamation has been issued by the
Provisional Government of Greece, and addressed to
his Majesty's Consuls and Vice• Consuls of the Powers
of Europe, in the Archipelago, to the following effect :
" :That, as the Masters of sundry European
vessels have freighted their ships to the Turkish
'Government, for the conveyance of troops, stores,
and provisions, in opposition to the advice of their
Consuls, and in contravention of the principles of neu-
trality professed by their respective Sovereigni, in the
present contest, in which Greece is engaged ; all such
vessels, together with their crews, shall be considered
as no longer belonging to any neutral nation, but as
enemies, and shall as such be attacked, burnt, or sunk,
together with their crews, by the ships of the Greek fleet,
pr by any other armed Greek force, that may fall in
with them.

And whereas his Majesty, for the vindication of the
rights of that neutrality—the duties of which he has
himself strictly and uniformly observed during the
existing hostilities—and for the protection of the com-
merce as well as of the lives of his subjects—aad of the
lonian people placed under his exclusive protection,
has directed the Lord High Commissioner to require,
in his Majesty's name, of the Provisional Government,
the immediate recal of a Proclamation so contrary to
the Law of Nations and every principle of humanity,
and of the intercourse of civilized Countries.

" And whereas the Lord High Commissioner has
accordingly required, in his Majesty's name, the ma/
of the said Proclamation, and the Provisional Govern-
ment have refused to recal the same ; and whereas such
refusal has been duly notified to the Commander-in-
Chief of bis Majesty's naval forces;

'6 13e it known that in conformity with Instructions
to that effect, given by the Lords Commissioners of
the Admir:ilty, the said Commander-in-Chief will forth.
with proceed to seize and detain all armed vessels, or
vessels carrying armed men, fitted out by, or under, or
acknowledging the authority of the Provisional Govern-
ment of Greece; and that those Instructions will con.-
tinue in force until the mid Proclamation shall be
fully and authentically recalled by the Provisional Go-
vernment, and the recal duly notified by the Lord High
Commissioner to the Commander-in-Chief of his Majes-
ty's Naval Forces.

" The present shall be printed in the three languages,
English, Greek, and Italian, promulgated and sent to
whom it concerns for its execution.
" By Command of his Excellency,
K J. RUDSDELL,
Secretary to the Lord High Commissioner.

It is sated in one of the French Papers, that the ay.
plication on the part of the King of SPAIN to CHARLES
X. to prolong the stay of the French Army to the Ist
of June next has been unsuccessful; this we confess we
doubt, and are mote inclined to believe another state-
ment, that the French troops will not leave Spain, but
take up a position behind the Ebro. Should this be the
case, FERDINAND Will of course quit Madrid, and fix
the seat of Government perhaps at Burgos, for in the
present state of the country, he will scarcely entrust
himself to the guardianship of his own troops.
The occupation of Spain is riot only a serious expense
to the French Government, but is not a little embar-
rassing. It reminds us of the situation of the dramatis
persona in the Critic, when down on their knees they
enquire of Puff "how they are to get off ?" and are an-
swered, " Exit kneeling." Spain has been conquered
by France—the country has been completely occupied
—but yet it is far from being tranquil even. Indeed,
the spirit of insurrection is only kept down by the French
troops, and, where they are not to be found, is perpe-
tually shewing itself. Nor is it to the Constitutionalists
that dissatisfaction is confined, it almost equally pervades
the fanatics ; and the consequence is, that there are per-
petual collisions. Even the Government, in its ven-
geance, seems to select its victims almost indiscrimi-
nately, for among the persons now in prison, are several
Ultra-Royalists.
Private letters frpm Madrid and other parts of Spain
contain rumours of a strange and scarcely credible
kind ; such as that 1,500 Constitutionalists, commanded
by Colonel VALDES, have effected a descent at Beni-
caolo, and defeated the troops sent out to attack them
from Valencia ; that several vessels, with Constitu-
tionalists on board, had appeared off Valencia and Al-
aseira. But a very obvious question suggests itself,
where have all these Constitutionalists come from? Not
1 from Gibraltar nor from Tangiers. The conjecture
thrown out in the Paris Paper, which communi-
cates these rumours, appears to be well founded.
—lt is, that alarming rumours of this kind are set
afloat by the fanatics, to serve as a pretext for the per-
secution and murder of persons supposed of that party.
These fanatics, be) and all doubt, commit the most.
horrible excesses. At Bilboa, the rabble of the Faith
outraged the public authorities—these too most decided
Sordes—because they interfered between the victims
and their sanguinary persecutors.
While Spain is in this distracted state, the tumour of
a new Loan is revived for the hundredth time, but plen-
titul as money may be, and tempting as a large bonus
no doubt is to speculators, yet we cannot helieve that
individuals can be found so insane as to lend a shilling
anized Spain.

The following are extracts fro 'the French Paper!:
171110111 TINS CONSTITOTIONNEL.
EXTRACT OF A PItiVATE LETTER.
LISBON, suffinuncrt au.
The projects of April SO, 'to overthrow the Govern-
ment, and to introduce a perfect despotism into Porte-
gal, have not been stopped either by the favour shewn
to some guilty persons, or by the severe punishments,
inflicted on others. One party of the exaltes continues
the same coe,rse, and the Government has just disco-
vered another plan for accomplishing that object in
which they before failed. A conspiracy was to have
broken out at Lisbon on the '26th current, for which a
great number of armed melt were already collected in
one of the suburbs, who, united with one regiment,
were to proceed to the different prisons, release the pri-
soners, and then surround and make the King pd.
soner, and murder the Ministers. A great number
of persons have already been arrested, in conse-
quence of this conspiracy having been discovered,
and among them are some persons of distinction.
—Report says that the Queen's party, with the Patriarch
at their head, have set this conspiracy on foot, and that
immense sums of money have been expended. The
Government has published a decree, prohibiting the
entrance of any Spaniard into the kingdom who is not
provided with a passport, signed by the Portuguese
Ambassador at Madrid. The merchants complain much
of this measure, because the smugglers, who carry out
of Portugal a great quantity of English goods, will be
prevented from corning. The merchants of Elvas have
asked for its repeal.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
OCIOIIIII 4.

I told you in my last, that the Constitutionalists had
landed with 1,500 men at Benecasto, in Valencia. This
report still continues, and it is added, that Col. Valdez
is at the head of this force, and has had an engage-
ment with some troops sent from the city of Valencia•
that he has beaten them, and taken two pieces of artil-
lery. It is also said that five Constitutional vessels have
Appeared off Algesiras, and that. other vessels also be-
longing to them were seen in the offing off the coast of
Valencia. Ido not guarantee the authenticity of these
reports, though a Proclamation lately addressed by Gen.
Bassecourt, who commands in Valencia, to the in-
habitants of this province, appears to support them
This General says, that he knows the revolutionists
mean' to make an attempt tan Valencia; that he knows
their plans, and has taken measures to meet them.°
The Intendant-General of Police, who appeared to

relent in his plan oebanibhing from Madrid the persons
who followed the Government of the Cortes to Seville
and Cadiz, has resumed it with great activity. He has
sent some agents to Ocana, a town nine miles from
hence, to make some ex-ministers and ez-counsellors

leave it, because the law of October Ist requires that
they shall go fifteen leagues from the caOtal, and
Ocana is only Mae.
• We have already stated, that these reports seem spread by
design in Spain. Cot. Valdes cannot contemplate an expedition
which would only expose the moderate party to the vengeance of,
the fanatics. The only Constitutionalists who can have an in-

fluence, are tranquil in Englant4 and appear to have no notion of
quitting it.—Note of the Editor of the Censtitattionnel.

This forenoon we received the Madrid Gazettes to the
6th inst. They contain some accounts from South
America, which, however, are by no means to be re-
lied on. The King and Queen of SPAIN are stated to
be in good health, at the Escurial. The-following are
extracts:
