Comb opened this morning at 7114 for the Account, with
acutely a bargain doing up to the present time, the House being
very thinly attended; and they may be quota for the July Ac-
count at 714. The fall of Alissolonghi has caused some sensation
fiM the City, in consequence of which Greek Bonds have fallen near
per Cent.
There is quite a dearth of intelligence this morning.
The same stagnation prevails in the Foreign Market.

In a preceding page we have given some further in•
telligence from India, principally relating to Bhurtpore,
which, since the termination of the Burmese war, ac-
quires on -increased interest: Bhurtpore is about thir g-
one miles North by West from Agra, lying in lat. 27.
17. N. long. 77. 23. E. The State of which it is the
capital occupies an area of about 5,000 square miles,
and is included among the Members of the Confedera-
tion which was under the protection of the English
Government. DOORJUN SALL, the present occupier of
the 'throne, is of the Jaut tribe; he is deemed an usurper,
and these is a party within the fortress favourable to the
lawful heir. Upon this division of parties Among the
besieged, the besiegers build great hopes.
This forenoon we received such of the French Papers
of Saturday and Sunday as had not previously reached
bL o.te of them, the Pdote, contains an article from
Lisbon, which represents the popularity of the Pat NMI
RzoesT as daily increasing; she had recalled many
persons exiled for their political opinions, and had caused
the cordon of troops drawn towards the frontiers of
Spain t be strengthened. She had also ordered some
denunciators to be arrested, and confined till they
should have proved the truth of their accusations.
Intelligence from Cadiz to the end of April, states
that the commerce of that city suffered much from the
depredations of a Colombian Privateer, of twelve guns,
which had been cm:zing on the coast for a fortnight.
The steam-boat between Cadiz and Gibraltar had sus-
pended its voyages in consequence : it had taken many
valuable prizes, and five Spanish vessels of war sent in
its pursuit had either not been able, or had not dared,
to come up with it.
Frankfort Papers to the 9th, and the Austria* Ob-
server to the sth, reached us this forenoon. They contain some
accounts from Constantinople to the I Ith of April, but they have
lost their interest by subsequent intelligence. It is said the Go-
vernment of Napoli was about to dispatch vessels with provisions
and ammunition to hlissolonghi—that Colonel navies had given

notice to the European agents at Athens, that the ports in the island
of Negropont and of the gulf of Vole were blockaded. The
ft:Mowing is an extract :
CONSTANTINOPLE, Ann 11.

The notorious Vasso Braicovich, after having, with the adven-
turers under his command, visited the Islands of Zea, Pares, Naxos,
and Syria. and laid them under contribution, has extended his des-
perate piratical expeditions to the coast of Syria. The Porte has
received the news that these banditti have surprised and plundered
the town of ileirout and massacred part of the Turkish inhabitants.
A part of the new squadron, under the command of Ibrahim
Bey, destined for the Archipelago, sailed'on the 7th to tbe Darda-
nelles, the remainder is at anchor off Beskiktash, tbe summer resi-
dence of the Sultan. One of the ships of the line, on getting out of
the harbour, was carried by the current en to a shoal on the coast
of Scutari, and notwithitanding all the exertions ghat have been
made, has not yet been gut afloat again.

The brave garrison of Missoloaghi, after defending
itself fir twelve months, with a heroism rarely excelled in ancient or
modern warfare, has at length fallen. The brave Greeks have died,
but set surrendered; and if their example is net lost on the rest of
their countrymen, they may yet be free. It appears that on the
night of the 22d of April, the garrison, without provisions, and des-
pairing of relief by the Greek fleet, made a desperate sortie, deter-
mined to sell their lives dear to the besiegers; the town thus com-
paratively deserted, the Turks rushed in, roassacreing ail who had net
yet perished or destroyed themselves, rather than fall alive into the
hands ef the barbarians. The number who have perished cannot
yet, and perhaps will never, be correctly ascertained, but such was
the nature of the esailict that the slaughter on both sides must have
been very great.
A Morning Paper states, on the authority of its private corms.
poedence, that " for five days previoui to the fall of that place the
food lathe Greeks was the dead bodies of their countrymen, who
mostly had perished through want ; and it is said that they them-
selves put to death several of their women an.l children previous to
the unsuccessful sortie which they made for the relief of the place.
Of 7,000 inhabitants, it is supposed that nearly 2,000 have escaped
eup tile mountains, after cutting their way through the enemy."
Suds is the account of our contemporary ; but mho gives a letter

from mother private Correspondent, which asserts that " the Grii-'
clan fleet had arrived at Ildissolonghi with provisions and succours,
and that great hopes were entertained at saving the place," only two'
or three days before it fell, we with be bad informed Us which of
his Correspondents are best entitled to credit.
It IssiU, perhaps, be recollected that when, on the 6ik of April,
Otte of our contemporaries gave an official account of the fall of
blissolonghl (which did not take place until sixteen days after)...
and another Journalist gave the full particulars in a letter from an
English Colonel, we fearlessly asserted that whatever might be the
ultimate fate of klissolongbi, there was not the slightest truth in
those statements. How far we were correct is now seen.

It it matter of regret, and indeed of surprise, that while Misso-
longhi so long distinguished itself by its defence, aft the other Greeks
both by sea and laud have been supine and inactive ; and we cannot
but fear that selfishness and disunion are greater obstacles to the
Independence of Greece tha■ even the Turks and the Egyptians.
