LONDON.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15. 1821.
STOCK EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK.

The Funds are rather higher this morning, and
there h a confident expectation there will be a great
advance before the close of the present Account. The
Bears have lately taken up the idea of the ports open-
ing for foreign corn, and of a consequent alteration
in the Exchanges ; but nothing can be more un-
founded.
The fine wheat has no doubt advanced
greatly in price, but the average is made up from
all the sales ; and as the greater part of the new grain
will, according to the Bears themselves, be inferior
and damaged, the average price must be low, and
prevent the ports opening.—Current prices :

The tempestuous state of the weather has obliged
the KING to abandon his original intention of going
round by sea to Portsmouth. The Royal squadron
returned to Milford Haven on Thursday morning,
where his MaJesTv landed. Yesterday his MAJESTY
passed through Cheltenham, and at a late hour last
night arrived at Windsor. We refer our Readers to
another part for the details:of his 'MAJESTY'S progress

Reduction of Salaries in the Public Offices, the sub-

The Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday ar
rived this forenoon. The following are extracts :

" LOWER DANITHE, SEPT. :1.

(F.XTBACT or A rarrATK trrirs.)
" We have at last received news from Constanti-
nople of a date posterior to the departure of I. de
Strogonoff. The following particulars include every
thing important in the accounts:
" Two days before the departure of this Minister,
the Reis-Effendi addressed a note to the Russian Em-
bassy. We are assured that this note is of the highest
importance, inasmuch as it contains new explanations
on each of the points stated in the Russian ultimatum,
and that it might be regarded in certain respects as
a commentary on the Ottoman Declaration, which
the Russian Minister refused to receive, and which
was addressed directly to the Emperor Alexander.
We are assured that M. de Strogonoff, on being urged
by the Ministers of the other great Powers, consented
to receive this note, which is of a very pacific charac-
ter. He promised to transmit it immediately to Peters-
burgh, declaring, however, that this tardy communi-
cation could not induce him to delay his departure.
" In this authentic document the Porte expresses
the desire of living in peace with Russia, and its per-
fect readiness to do everything agreeable to the Em-
peror Alexander, in order to demonstr.ite by facts
how much the Ottoman Government wishes to avoid
a rupture. It must be confessed that such a decla-
ration is well calculated to encourage the hope that
peace will not be interrupted, and that it will give
occasion to the continuance of the negociations ; more
particularly as the Ministers of the other great Powers
at Constantinople hold instructions which authorize
them to do everything in their power to produce a
reconciliation between the Porte and Russia.
" The loss which the Ottoman fleet sustained re-
cently in the Archipelago, is not so considerable as
had been reported. The Greeks, indeed, have taken
some Turkish vessels of war ; but the fleet of Cara
All is still sufficiently numerous to keep the sea. It
is not true that he has run into the Dardanelles. All
the disposable ships and frigates in the arsenal of
Constantinople are equipping in great haste. As
soon as they are got ready for sea, they will be sent
into the Archipelago, and the Captain Pacha will
then take the command of the fleet. It is confirmed'
that the Pacha of Egypt has notified to the Grand
ships of war and troops will be at
Seignior, that his shi
the disposal of the Porte."
