TUitIN, AUGUST 15.

The King, Charles Felix, •.vho continues to reside
in the States of-Modena, has concluded a Conven-
tion with Austria ; in pursuance of which 12,000
Austrians will occupy a military line, at a distance
however from tl:e c4ital, until the end of Septem-
ber,lB22. His Majesty, Charles Felix, will, it is said,
pay a contribution towards defraying the expenses of
these troops. The two Governments continue to main-
tain the most amicable relations.
TRIESTE; AUGUST 4.
Demetrios Ypsilanti has published a Proclamation
to the Hellenists, in which he announces to them that
he is commissioned by the Commander-in-Chief,
Alexander Ypsilanti, to act as his Lieutenant-General,
and to assume the command in Feloponnesus and the
rest of ancient 6i-coca Ile is a very young man,

the arrival of a packet-boat from Odessa on the 17th
of July, there are equally frequent meetings of the
litissian Legation and the Divan. It was generally
expected that the result would be made- known
very shortly.
The Sultan's Firman for the maintenance of the
public peace, is as follows:
" In consequence of the insurrection which has
broken out among the Greeks, it was necessary, ac-
cording to the laws of sovereignty, to arrest and
punish those Rajahs who had taken part in the insur-
rection. On this occasion the whole Musselnian po-
pulation took up arms, and placed itself in the situa-
tion of an army encamped opposite the enemy.
4. The care which every Government owes to its
subjects, requires, however, that the Rajahs who are
recognised as innocent and honest, of whatever class
they may be, shall be on all occasions protected.—
And as the Sublime Porte is at peace with all the Eu-
ropean Powers, it is necessary that the subjects and
merchants of those Puwers actually at Constantinople,.
as well as the persons belonging to the respective Em-
bassies, enjoy protection and security, according to
ti.e existing Treaties. •
"'Besides, as the arrest and punishment of those
Rajahs, who, whether directly or indirectly, have pub-
licly taken a part in the insurrection, is the right of
the Sublime Porte, it is the express and supreme will
of his Sublimity, that no private man shall presume
to molest any innocent Rajah, and that the most ap-
propi iate means shall be adopted to afford to the sub-
jects, merchants, and travellers, of friendly Powers,
that peace and security which they have enjoyed.
" In consequence, the necessary tenders have been
repeatedly issued by the Sublime Porte to all officers
of police, and others charged with the maintenance
of good order, not to lose sight for a moment of the
above principles, and most carefully to provide that
no individual of the lower chv.ses of the people com-
mit any act which might disturb the so much to be
desired tranquillity of the inhabitants of this capital,
and especially that no muskets or pistols be fired
witloi cause, and in general that tumult and dis-
order be avoided."
Flimf TUE ELBV, AUGUST

By the agreement respecting the navigation of the
Elbe, late"y concluded at Dresden, that river is de-
clared free, from the Melnick, where it becomes na-
vigable, to its mouth; The shippers of each of the
States on the banks may navigate at pleasure from
that point to the sea, taking freight and back freight ;
no staple (Magdeburg, Dresden, Pima) will impede
his passage along the whole stream of the Elbe—
(Hitherto none but Prussian and Harnbargh vessels
navigated the Lower Elbe, on acclunt of the staple
right of Magdeburg).—No privilege of any Shipper's
Company of any City or Corporation will be enforced
against the free shippers ; every merchant may go with
his own vessel and own crew from mw place to another.
The thirty-five Custom-houses which have hitherto
impeded the navigation, both on the right and left,
are reduced to 14. on the whole stream,- which flows
througli the dominions of eight States, viz. in Bohe-
mia, Aussig and Niederguend ; in the kingdom of
Saxony, Schandau and Strehla; at Muhlberg, the
Customhouse on entering the Prussian territory; it
Coswig, Roslau, and Dessau, i❑ the three principali-
ties of Anholt—(there is. great reason to hope that
the three Princes of Anholt will establish one, joint
Custom-house in lieu of these three); at Wittenberg,
the Custom-house, on leaving the Pi ussian territory :
those in Mecklenburg are, Schnakenberg, Domitz,
Bleakede, and Boitzenburg ; and, lastly, the Danish
Custom-house at Lunenburg.
The duties which have hitherto been so detrimental
to trade and navigation are riot only reduced, but
'fixed on an invariable principle, and arc never to be-
' augmented without the consent of all the parties.—
, Products of internal industry and the chiet necessa-
ries of life (corn, wood, building morello's, and fruit)
are liable to very low duties. The former innumerable
• examinations of the cargoes, and all the vex•itions and
• bribery of the tipper and lower Officers of thetustoms,
are limited to the revision and verification of one
' Stale. All the arbitrary proceedings of Officers in
• taking the duties and examining the cargoes are
banished from the Elbe by judicious regulations.—
Many excellent measures for-maintaining a suitable
River Police have been adopted to protect the honest
shipper, and watch over the skim: ea. No kinds of
erection on the stream or bai:ks injut inns to the na-
vigation aie allowed, and wile: ever there is now any
obstacle in the channel of the Elbe (especially in the
• Saxon part of the Upper Elbe), it is to be instantly
removed when the Convention is carried into effect,
' and thereby the original add chief object .of all river
tolls be more sti:ctlf attended to.

STOCK EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCIE.

. This is Settling-day. A great deal of business is
doing in consequence of the Jobbers making up their
accounts. Several have pure,ased largely for next
settling (October). We underyand an eminent Banker
has transferred £700,000 Cons and £300,000 Red.
into his Broker's name, to be delivered to-day.---
The Bulls have eagerly taken it out of the market.
Money is very scarce, ye, per Cent. being given to
the next Account, which is equal to 8 per Cent.—
No defaulter has been yet declared. Letters from
Petersburgh, received this morning, are of a very
pacific nature.

Intelligence has been received in town by an ex-
press from Vienna, of the departure of Baron ST RO•
CONOFF, with all the persons belonging to the Rus-
sian Mission, from Constantinople for Odessa. The
Porte had previously declared its willingness to fulfil
all the conditions required by Russia, except the for-
mal apology to Baron STROGONOFF, to whose vio-
lence it ascribes the differences subsisting between
the two Powers. It had also disclaimed, in the most
solemn manner, all intention 'of giving offence to
Russia ; and declared its
.readiness to give the pro-
posed satisfaction, provided another Ambassador
should be sent. We give this account merely as a
report, and without pledging ourselves for its truth.
Some ether particulars respecting the state of affairs
in the East of Europe, will be found among the arti-
cles of foreign intelligence which we have collected
together in another part of our Paper.

A Hamburgh Mail arrived this forenoon, with
Papers to the 24th instant. They contain some in-
teresting at-rides respecting a sort of crusade which
has been set on foot in Germany, in favour of the
Greeks, which will be found among the other ex-
tracts subjoined.
