counts from memory, and mathorit any book, nor I
is he scarcely remembered to have committed any
mistakes in the order for evenditure which he had
given ; but if such a thing did so happen, it was never
Ito his own disadvantage. This manner of keeping
accounts still opened to him another branch of re-
venue, which he does not neglect, and this is that of
the taxes he calls by the name of restitutions, which
he imposes on those who have, or have had, the ma-
nagement of money for his account ; and of this his
Jewish intendant, among others, felt the effects. One
day when his son Mouktar Pacha stood in need of
100 bags, (100,000 francs,) as an advance on the en-
try of his own revenue, he demanded the sum from
his father's intendant. Mouktar, a perfectly honest
man, had always paid his debts with exactitude, and
no one at Joannina would have refused to lend money
to him. Nevertheless the Jew, either too avaricious
or wrongfully distrustful, alleged as a pretext that he
had no money, and refused to make the advance ie.
quired. Mouktar complained of this to his father,'
who called the intendant to his presence, and after
reproaching him for such a want of confidence to-
wards his son, said to Listen, it is now 20
years that thou hast served me, and according to the
calculation of my revenue, thou must have stolen'
from me at the rate of five bags per year ; thou shalt
therefore instantly pay me 100 bags ; and to this he
added his ordinary saying, which never failed to an-
pose ready obedience.

This day we received Brussels Papers to the 7th
instant. They present but little novelty. On the 6th,
in the morning, their MAJESTIES the KING and
QUEEN, the Empress Dowager of RussiA, the Grand
Duke MICHAEL (who arrived on the sth), and all the
Members of the Royal Family, went in seven car-
riages, each drawn by six horses, to the Palace of
Laken, where the illustrious company breakfasted.
Their Royal Highnesses the PRINCE ROYAL and
Prince WILLIAM of PRUSSIA, who arrived there on the
sth, departed in.the afternoon for Aix-la-Chapelle.
A Hamburgh Mail has also arrived, bringing

STOCKHOLM, SEPTEMBER 30.

Oa the 23d inst. the American Ambassador, Mr.
Russell, left this city to return to his own country.—
Mr. Hughes remains here, as Charge d'Affaires.

Count Sandels arrived at Christiania on the 21a,
and immediately entered on his office as Vice roy of
the Kingdom of Norway. ,

The Paris Papers of Simday arrived this forenoon.
The official article on the recent depression of the
Funds, which we extracted from the Moniteur yes-
terday, has been copied into all the other Paris Jou-
nals, but without any additional remarks. On Sa-
turday, the Market had again rather a declining ten-
dency. The Five per Cents. opened at 70 fr. 25 c.l
but were afterwards done at as low as 69 fr. 50 c.—
Before the close of the day, however, they rallied,
and left off at 70 fr. being 15 fr. below the closing
price of the preceding day.
The mutual processes of calumny between General
CANUEL, Colonel FABVIEE, and M. SENNEVILLE,
relative to the events at Lyons, came on to be heard,
before the Tribunal of Correctional Police on Satur-
day ; but at the request of the Advocate for General
CANUEL, the hearing was postponed till Saturday,
the 28th instant.

The Kiso of BAVARIA, it appears, has issued a par-
ticular Constitutional Edict for Rhenish Bavaria, in
which he appoints certain modifications to be made
in the general Constitution which he has granted to
his subjects, in as far as it applies to this part of his
dominions. Among others, the dispositions relative
to the Noblesse, to patrimonial jurisdiction, to Jews,
&c. are declared to be inapplicable, as not being in
harmony with the institutions already subsisting in
that province.

In an article under the head of Madrid, we meet
with a gratifying notice of the obligations which the
Spaniards are under, in the working of their Peruvian
mines, to the progress of the Arts in this country.—
A Company, which, under the direction of an English
Engineer, some time ago undertook the drainage, by
steam-engines, of the mines of Pasco, is stated to be
proceeding with great success in its operations, an.
to be every day making new discoveries of extraordi-
nary riches. The produce encreases in such a degree,
that in the course of the present year, the Company
will be reimbursed of all their expenses ; and next
year will be able to afford a dividend of a million
and a half. The mineral proves to be much more
precious than was at first imagined.
A squadron of three. merchant vessels, for the Ha-
vannah and Vera Cruz, left Cadiz on the 19th of
October, under convoy of the Sabina frigate. Not-
withstanding the late arrivals at that port, trade still
continues very dull ; every sort of negotiation is dif-
ficult ; and foreign exchanges, always high, are now
clot to be effected at all. The crew of a merchant
vessel, called the Castille, which was lately taken by
an Insurgent corsair, off Cape St. Marie (twenty leagues
from Cadiz) have been landed on the coast. ne

ICastille was from Lima, and I:ad' 660,000 piastres'
fortes on board, with a cargo valued at as much,
consisting chiefly of cocoa.
The Vienna Journals complain of the great scar-
city of silver throughout the Austrian dominions, and
ascribe it, apparently not without reason, to the great
financial operations of the different Governments of
Europe, the loans which they have made, all nearly
at the same time, having absorbed the funds of capi-
talists, and withdrawn them for a time from ordinary
*irculation.

We have received Letters from Vera Cruz, dated
the 7th of August. They are only a few days later
than those of which we were previously possessed,
but in some respects they differ slightly from the
former accounts. Thus we find from them, that the
Guerrilla parties had made some encroachments
within a few days, which alarmed the inhabitants of
Vera Cruz in some degree for the security of the
communication between that port and Mexico. The
intercourse, however, had not yet been interrupted,"

nor were the Patriots in such force as to be able to
effect any thing important. They were, notwith-
standing, strong enough to make the Agents of the
Spanish Government look out with a little anxiety
fora convoy of two millions of specie which ought
to have arrived from the interior.

We understand that two more vessels, forming
part of the Expedition which General M'GREOOA is
fitting out against New Grenada, are to leave the
River to-day, in one of which is Senor MENDEZ, who
arrived in this country as au Agent from Venezuela,
but whose commission has not been recognized by
the British Government. General M'Gaaooa him-
self will leave this country in a day or two, and the
last ships belonging to this adventure will clear out
as soon as possible, under the orders of Colonel MA-
I
EERONI, formerly Aid-de-Camp to Mun Ar.
