killed, but many were severely hats. and the lives of several were
despaired of. A poor man wax Cat down while -protecting his

The Gnws* of Canton demands, as the only
peace offering, that•two of the sailors, whom he ac-
cuses as the murderers of his countrymen, should be
given up, claiming from Captain AICHARDsON, the
Commander of the TOPAZE, the observance of a law
which he declares he would enforce against Chinese
subjects, and which, in similar circumstances, he
would allow • foreigners to enforce against them.—
Now as the execution of this law would occasion the
capital punishment of two individuals not conscious
of having committed a capital crime, the British
Captain refuses to comply, on the ground that such
a sentence does not; by the law of England, follow
an offence like that of which hironen have been guilty.
While the parties are thus at issue on a point to dif-
ficult to be reconciled, it is to be feared that the in-
terruption to the British trade may be longer and
more serious than it has been for many years.

The Market this morning is exceedingly heavy, owing, it is
supposed, to the closing of Consols to-morrow, which causes a
great scarcity of money ; and, with the idea of a great many that
Russia is on the eve of striking a blow against the Turks, causes
a great stagnation in the operations of the Market. Some prig
sate letters from Paris this morning, again assert that hostilities
will take place with the Ottoman Porte. Consols for the Ac-
count 791 1, and for Money 79 (sellers).
FoaveN FUNDS.—The now Russian Loan is scarcely men- ,
tioned or sought after In the Market, owing, it is said, to some',
snanceuvre having been played off on the Brokers, and the gene-
ral opinion is, that it will soon experience a great depression :
scarcely a bargain has been done in the above Stock this morn-
ing. The Chili Loan is still in demand and much sought after.

The French Papers of Thursday and Friday give
very contradictory accounti of the irate of the nego-
ciation between Russia and Tutkey ; and the only
thing really certain is, that nothing positive is known
on the subject. The following are extracts :
PARIS, MAY 31. _ _

The Augsburg Gazette announces that the Lord
High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, Sir Thos.
Maitland, passed through Inspruck, on the 17th May,
on his way from Italy to Constance.
Letters from Frankfort of the 24th of May say,
" Whilst letters from Vienna, of hood authority, an-
nounce the evacuation of Wallachia and Moldavia
by the Turks, and of the nomination of the new
Christian Hospodars iti those Principalities (the Aus-
trian Observer has not spoken of this last circum-
stance) as very near ; whilst the Austrian Govern-
ment seems to share the conviction that the differ-
ences between Russia and the Porte are upon the
eve of being accommodated, letters direct from Con-
stantinople maintain that it is only after the repres-
sion of the insurrection in Greece and the Morel that,
the Porte will really consent to make any conces-
sions to Russia. It is possible, add the letters direct
from Constantinople, that the Porte has politicly
given some hopes of satisfying the demands of Rus-
sia; but the question of peace or war still remains
doubtful." Will the evacuation of the Principalities
satisfy the ambition of Russia, after exhausting its
treasury, and maintaining nearly a million of men
in arms ? Cosutitutionnel.•

FRENCH FUNDS.—Five per cent. Consols opened at
89f. 60c. highest, 89f. 80c. closed, 89f. 75c.

Madrid Papers to the 2Sd ultimo contain an ac-
count of an engagement between a band of the insur-
gents and the Political Chiefs of Vigo and Orense,
in which, after an obstinate resistance, the rebels
were completely defeated, and a number of priests
were killed. Some accounts state that the number
of rebels killed was 200, and that the Portuguese
troops fired on the fugitives, who were endeavouring
to escape by crossing the river.

A Dutch Mail, bringing Papers to the Ist inst.
reached us this forenoon. The accounts from Peters-
burgh are to the 16th of May, but they are entirely
silent as to any arrangement between Russia and
Turkey. The Grand Duke NIOHOLAS had *left Pe-
tersburgh for the army. The Crown Prince of
SWEDEN is about to pay a visit to Copenhagen,
where the King of DENMARK is making preparations
for his reception.
In the sittings of the States-General on the 28th
ult.'a message was presented from the King, accom-
panied by a Project of Law of the greatest inte-
rest,
,relating to the finances of the kingdom, which
it is proposed to relieve by uniting the Caine el' Amor-
tissentent with the Syndicate of the Netherlands. The
Ifollowing is an outline of his Mitntares message:
By our message of the 21st of December, 1821,
we signified to your High Mightinesses, that we had
taken into our serious consideration the question,
whether the Caine d' Amortiuentent will always be
able to continue the operations for the redemption of
the deferred debt in the manner last adopted? and
dux it was our intention, in due time, to submit to,
youtAmembly proposals tending to this end.
44 A seruptdous examination of this, interesting sub•
ject has con,yinced us of the nev.ssity, at the high
price of the deferred debt and the lottery tickets be-
longing to it, W take measures on the subject to avoid
being obliged to increase the means of the Caine
feAgnortistement and consequently the burdens of the
contributors.
.1 In these measures the rights of the creditors of
the State were to be scrupulously maintained. We
'bar*, tharefOgo• adopted the idea of the offer of a vp.

We this day present our Readers with. a curious
Edict, issued by the Governor of Canton, relative to
the late affair of the TOPAZ', and with an extract.
•
from a private letter from Canton, dated January 16,
which is ten days later than the latest previous ac-
counts, and which states that no reconciliation had
at that time been effected ; the trade was still sus-

xctory concession. In addition to the statement

dens; it unfolds the nature of the plan proposed, and
she‘‘ s that while it will greatly benefit the nation in'
general by an immediate reduction of the contributions,
it will not be disadvantageous to the public creditor :
so that his Majesty expects a reduction of four mil-
lions of florins in the expenditure of 1823; and hopes
that, if the States General approve of these measures,
the nation will be in that happy situation which this
Assembly has so often desired ; when, being easy in
regard to its finances, their attention may be directed
more steadily to the other subjects connected with the
prosperity of the kingdom. •
We have received this morning a file of Calcutta
Papers to the 12th January. The following are
abstracts : •
Advices from Goa, to the 4th December, mention,
that the.Captain-General of P6rtuguese India, Don
Manuel de Camera, who had lately arrived there
from Rio de Janeiro, had obtained an ascendancy in
the Government, and that the five Members of the
recently constituted Provisional Junta had been ar-
rested and confined at the moment when they were
intending the same fate for his Excellency. Don Ma-
nuel had taken possession of the Palace at Pangim,
-with the appiobition of the, inhabitants; a new Junta
bad been formed, of which the Governor was President.
The Calcutta Journal gives a picture of Goa two
months after the revolution, by which the Viceroy
was displaced, and presqous to the counter-revolu-
tioti; by which the authority was restored to the
King's Governor. The revenues of the country
amount in ordinary years to between seven and eight
lacks of rupees. 'The military force of Goa and its
dependencies is stated at 4000 men, of whom 200
only are Europeans : to this force. there are three
Marshals, their pay is moderate, and the soldiers are
poorly disciplined. The Clergy of Goa are estimated
at 500 in number, and they are ignorant to a dis-
graceful degree.

EXTRACT OP A LETT= FROM HAVANNA% APRIL 15.
41 The piracies in this neighbourhood are less fre-
quent ; the arming of our merchantmen is the cause
of putting them down, and this Government are
doing what they can to suppress them : every dogger
or boat is obliged to have for number, in large
figures, on her sails and on the bow of the vessel.
You will be glad to be informed that two pirates have
been executed at Matanzas, and several more are
under trial. The Republic of Buenos Ayres lately
,decreed that it would not attend to the communica-
tions of any foreign ageht, unless he came with cre-
dentials as a diplomatic character."

Yesterday, the Duke of YORK paid a visit to his
MAJESTY.

Saturday;the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER
had a numerous dinner party.
The LORD CHANCELLOR and the Duke of DORSET
had audiences of the KING yesterday.
Yesterday, Divine Service was performed to his
Majesty's Household, at his Palace, in Pall-Mall, by
the Rev. Dr. F. W. BLOMBERG.

The Prince and Princess of DENMARK, and the
Prince FREDERICK of Holstein were at the evening
party given on Wednesday night by the Duke and
Duchess of GLOUCESTER, in honour of the Princess
SOPHIA MATILDA'S Birth-day.
The Marchioness of WATERFORD wore the ancient
Irish Dress and the Eagle Plume at the Irish Ball, in
consequence of the Marquis of WATERFORD'S descent
from the Irish Kings; one of the Barons LE Posit,
his Lordship's ancestors, having espoused the daugh-
ter of BRIAN BOROIIME, King of Ireland.
The Countess of JEnsay lost a diamond cross,
worth at least £lOOO, as she was returning from the
Fete at the Opera House on Thursday night—but the
loss took place, we understand, after her Ladyship
had left her carriage, in Berkeley-square.
Thursday were landed, and immediately forwarded
to his Majesty's Lion-office, in the Tower, of London,
a majestic male lion, and his noble consort, a fine
lioness. They were escorted by the keepers, and
safely placed in dens well adapted for the health and
comfort of those noble animals.

The Parish of St. Giles, Cripplegate, has obtained
the sum of £169, by a collection from house to house,
in aid of the general subscription for the poor Irish.

The cosset is now visible in the soath-west, between nee and
ten o'clock in the evening.

THE PARK.—The sultry unsheltered promenade,
and glaring drive, of Hyde Park, were almost en-'
tirely deserted yesterday, for the embowered and
fresh green walks of Kensington Gardens. Nothing
could be more beautiful than the scene which pre-
sented itself in this sequestered retreat from four to
six o'clock. The crowd was at once numerous and
select; and it was graced with the presence of more
than a usual number of the female Nobility ; indeed,
the softer sex, of whatever rank, had a majority of at
least two to one. There was not any particular no-
velty displayed.
KING'S TH EA TRE.—•Thi S shewy house was crowded,
as usual, on Saturday to see The Barber of Seville, and
was extremely fashionable and intemperately hot.
Tate Lvcems.—Mr. MATHEWS continues in great
force. On Saturday the boxes and pit were sufficiently
full, and the audience were obviously much gratified.
To-MORROW !—The Birth-Day of our late revered
Monarch is the day fixed on for drawing the State
Lottery ; and as the whole is to be decided in One
Day, the Two grand Money Prizes of Twenty Thou
s.tnd Pounds, and all the other Money Capitals ant.
small Prizes must be an draivn that day. Dixie%
Offices appear to be the favourites; perhaps this is
because he sold in Shares both the Two last Prizes
of Twenty Thousand Pounds ever drawn. Purchases
. may be made until Twelve o'Clock to•night.
