.AL:C;SBURG, APRIL

Letters from St:es cf the `2oth March, say, that thc
Divan has resolved to send tl:e grandson of the Luau's.
Ali Paella (i.ow about 20 years of age) to Juannina.
here he is vappsed still to have partisans. But ever:
-should this trews Le continued, it is most probable
*the Albanians and Greeks would not be inclined to put
much corifl:!eace in him. Since this young m.in era
cal tied off by violence, after the murder of his grand-
fuller, the state of affairs in that country has undergone
(no great a change for the Porte to derive any a.i vantage
from this n,c4Alle. Jr is said that the artful Vasaik,i,
vidow of Ali P..cha, by whom he is surposed to have
taf;ein bctraycd, wi:l;:c.:crnpany the grandson.
Aitoamia i. te.id, ..1 Nt4l-lia, 01 the 44th

of March, to be a scene of confusion and disorder.
The Turks, part of whom obey the Pacha of Scutari,
and part the inferior Bays, carry on an inveterate war
with each other, of which advantage is taken by the
Christian Albanians, who are in alliance with the
Greeks. The cause of these dissentions seems to be,
that the Beys have refused to furnish their contingent
to the Pacha of Scutari, who is supposed to be in dis-
grace with the Porte, on account of his unsuccessful
expedition against Missolonghi lait year; and it is ge-
nerally believed by the Tut ks, that the Porte only waits
a fair op pot tunity to remove him, or to put him to death.

We have received from Paris the Etoile, dated Thurs-
day last, with a letter cram our Correspondent, written
on Wednesday evening, from which it appears that the
debate. in the Chamber of Deputies on the general
question relative to the reduction of the five per cents.
was closed on Wednesday. It would be put to the vote
on the following day, and there was no doubt but it
would be carried by a large majority.
The French Funds were improving on Wednesday.

The discussions relative to lowering the interest of
the funds run high. Government says, " I created 100
francs o rentes at five rer ceiu,. and very frequently
get only for my 1001. 32i. 561.. 601. and set on to 59f.
I am now in better circumstances; my crelt is panly
established ; and I can pay oil' my d'2l3ts at -par.—
I give you 100 f. for the 52f. I roceivei, and• you
ale dissatisfied, though I only am the loser ; but, say
you, wl‘at shall we do with our money ? If you cannot
employ it better, I will take it at a lesser rata of interest.
If you do not like this, employ it in commerce, or lay
it out in building, or in mortgages. If I want money,
I can have it at a less rate than five per cent. and though
it is my duty to go to the cheapest market, yet I give
you the preference." These are plain and simple facts,
which must strike every one. The measure, however,
is more important in an indirect point of view than in
a direct one. The low rate of interest will lessen the
fever of Stockjobbing—it will induce many to employ
their funds in commercial speculations, which have
hitherto been employed in gambling on 'Change : for
the stagnation of commerce, comparatively to what
might be expected, arose from the large interests paid
by the public funds : for no one would risk his fortune.
in commerce, when the funds possessed equal or superior'
advantages without any risk.
Dissentions are stated to exist in the Ministry as to
the measure ; but this is mere report. An event, which
perhaps is not far distant, unites all the Ministers with
the President, for they all wish to be in place, not only
now, but when it may happen, and they know that
cannot be if they do not support the measures of the
Minister of Finance.

We have received Madrid papers to the 22d olApril,l
which contains a few unimportant official documentsl
and details respecting the visit made to Toledo by FER-
DINAND, the Redeemed (El Rescatado), as we find he
is now sometimes called in the addresses of his loving
-.,...:bjects. His MAJESTY, the Royal Family, and the
Foreign Ambassadors, who followed the Court from
Madrid, were constantly occupied during the Easter
week in the performance of religious ceremonies. They'
41su visited a convent of Bernardine Monks, near To-
ledo, where they paid their adorations to the body of
St. Rai mond, the founder of the order of Calatrava.—.
The P..per of the 21st contains a Royal o:der, requiring
o(II,:ers who have served in the Constitutional armies to
remove to a distance greater than that of a radius of
ten leagues from Madrid. This order is made on a re-
presentation of the Superintendant General of Police,
staling that many officers of that description enter the
city under various pretexts—that the time of the police
is occupied in looking after them—and that their pre-
sence gives rise to not a little displeasure and strife. In
the same Paper there is a notice that Mass would be
said on the 22d to the Members of the Military Com-
mission, as a preliminary to the trial of Leon Vargas,
accused of having spoken seditious words against the
Majesty of the KING !

Intelligence has been received of the arrival in the
Downs of the Eagle, a South Sea whaler, which vessel
is known to have sailed from Rio de Janeiro some days
after the Courier, but no letters by her have reached town.
Letters, however, from Rio of the 25th February, are
quite silent on the subject of the French fleet which
was stated to be hi that harbour, which goes far to
prove that the repo; is have been grossly exaggerated.
Had that feeling prevailed among the British residents
which was announced, it is quite impossible that it
should not have been alluded to in those letters ; but
though several of the principal Brazil houses in London
Lave received advices of the same date, and by the same
ecnvcyatice, they do not allude to the circumstance in
question in the slightest degree. So far from the Eta-
i:::Vi;ig disbanded any troops, he was making
L;reat exertions to augment his force, which prevented
the .:eaters from the interior and adjacent parts coming
to the capital to make their usual purchases, from an
appithein:Lii of being subject to military duty. This
is intntitmed in the letters, as one reason why trade was
in such a deploiable state.
lc is very probabl.: that some French ships of war had
artised (their number has no doubt been designedly
much es:tgzcritted); but there is nothing either unna-
tural or unprecedented for the French Govei n•
meat has lug ci.nstantly ships of war on the *several
points the Sou.h American station, they would of
course 'Dave lc he relieved from time to time ; and Rio
is the point of rendezvous for them as well as for our
own vessel,. A rrtrchant lately returned to this
cOuLtry says that this Whi irequently the ca.e whii;t

was there, and in one instance some of the ships of war
came from Martinique, an indirect course, which the
paragraphs above alluded to would represent,as very
suspicious !

FROM THE NEW YORK G zErrE OF THE sTil.

Letters from Cal thagena state, that an expedition of
four brigs and seven schooners was fitting out there, to
be commanded by Gutra, against Torquia de Omoa,
and that the Government of Carthagena bad furnished
2,000 men to pillage Omoa (doubted).

APRIL I.—Tariff 11111—Mr. Rankin concluded his
speech on the general principles of the 1311. Mr. Webster
began his speech, and continued until three o'clock,
when he moved for Ole Committee to rise—carried,
and the House adjourned.

Letters have arrived in town from Caraccas, of the
13th March, which state that all was tranquil there at
that time.

We are authorised to state that the rumour of eight
French frigates having appeared at Rio Janeiro, is
quite false. Ther.: were only there there at the dare
of the latest accounts, and one of there was sup-
posed to have entered the port merely for refreshment
on her way to the Pacitic.—.llotiling Parer.

WINDSOR, APRIL. 9. We feel great pleasure in
stating that his llA.:L.Vtli.3hedlth is still further improved
.since yesterday; and we have no doubt but he will very
soon be able to tal:e h!s usual healthful rid,n.

Yesterday, in honour of his MAJESTY'S Birth-day,
there was a Public Dinner at the swan Inn, Win ,?...or,
when between eighty and ninety of the most tespectal:le
inhabitants of the :own and Eton met together on zne
ucta‘ion. Mr. TnutAs JESiaNCS in the Chair.

On the cloth being removed the Chairman rose ansl
propose the health of his. present MAJESTY; with four
times four, which was drank With reiterated' bursts of
appliose, and was followed by the popular Anthem of,
GoD save the King by three Gentlemen Amateurs, the
Company joining chorus.
All the other branches of the Royal Family were,
given with great applause; several Gentlemen addressed
the Meeting in loyal and patriotic speeches, and the,
whole afforded a most gratifying treat.
