happily removed by the information given by Mr.
WARD, the Dank Director, of the actual amount of the
plaint gold currency. The sum in circulation in April'
bast was rd million, which, with eight millions of silver,-
makes a metallic currency of thirty millions. The
two millions 'and a half of small notes will, beyond
a doubt, be replaced pertly by gold, and partly by
an increased is.ue of large noter ; so that the ap-
prehensions of a fall of prices, even in'• that very
small ratio, are deemed groundless. We anticipate
unmised good froth the restoration, so far as we are
to
have it,.of a metallic currency ; and we confidently hope
that this measure may tend to secure to the poor man
the harts of his honest earnings—that it may bring us
never to that Utopian period prophesied by Mt. CA'N-
NINO. when every labourer in England " shall have a
fowl in his pot."

The last French arrivals are wholly barren of any
intelligence from the seat of war in 'the East. In the
absence of any information confirmatory of the defeat
of the Talks by the Russians, of which we copied the
details some days ago from the Leatburg Gazette, it is
now very generally suspected that the battles which it
reported as having been fought, never took place. At
all events, it appears most esttani dinary thai siccount-
uf the engagement should have reached Lemburg, with
such rapidity, and taken such an.untaual le,,gih of
time to find their way to the capital of a Power, so
deeply interested as Austtia in procnring the curliest, as
well as the most accurite, information. The Govern-
ment of this country has not received sinv account,
beyond the crossing of the Pruth, of the actual corn-
mencensent of hostilities between the Russians and Turks.

By the German Mail, we have received the Amer.
burg Correspondent to the 30th, and AlgeneehteZeitsenji
to the :31 st ult. They are Eoth silent respecting ve late
re;oit, battles between the
.Russians and the Turks.,
Actor ding to An article in these Papers trom Trieste, the
southern ports in the Morea,Nevatiti,Modon, and Caron,

Allied Powers, chiefly French. It is likewise stated
that the .Albanians in the SERANCIERIS army, in con-
sequence of their pay having been in arrears for eighteen
months, had rebelled, and seised upon Coron, where
they had been attacked by the Ottoman Commander,
whom they had beaten in battle, with the loss of nearly
1,000 men. The Albanians ire reported to bars written
to the Porte, and threatened, if they are pot paid, to
give up Caron to the Greeks. If this statement is 'true;

FROM THR DANUBE. M*v as.
, According to a private letter from Venna of the
*d instant, the Mist:.lan Government had borrowed
the sem of eight millions of Imperial florins of the
houses of Rothschild, Arnstein, and Eskeles. Germuller

and Steiner.. upon bilk of exchange, payable in 18
mouths. These bills have been discounted by the'
Bank, and as. a considerable addition to the dividend
may be expected from this operation, it 1. attributed

The events which have been slowly developing them-
selves during the last ten years, wavering between the
principtesof Royalism and Liberalism, have taken, since
the battle of Navarin, a different direction, and begin to
deceive all the expectations that had been entertained.
The Porte, in its infatuation, rejects every proposal of
mediation ; and as the Spanish Cones were dear to the
exhortations of the Allies at Verrina,. the Porte, with
the same arrogance, ors to meet its destruction. But
the obstinacy of thel inks may draw a'ter it more dan-
gerous consequeoces to the political, system of Europe
than the delusion of the Liberals could do, and the
Russian Eagle planted, throngb the irovudenee .of
the Sultan.. on the shores of the bosphorus, can-
not be contemplated by the other Powers with the
same indifference as the French coloors displayell at
Cadiz. The moderation of the Russian Emperor gua-,
rantees, it is true, the integrity of the Russian empire;;
but the war, which. 's probably now raging on the shores
of the Danube, affords too manifest a proof that politi-
cal results cannot be determined by the will of the
Cabinets, and that- imperative circumstances often in-
tervene. Toe Porte has at this moment wearied out
the Russian Emperor; it has changed his magoaoimity
into displeasure; it may change victory into perma-
nent conquest, if, in its fanatic zeal, it prefers destruction
to concession. The Greek question, which only six
months since. took the.lead in the politics of Europe,.
and according to the solution of which the political re-
lations of Europe seemed to be calculated, is now sub-
ordinate, and events may go so far beyond it, that in
spite of the conferences of the three Ambassadors, to be
held at Con u, fur the purpose of entirely arranging this
subject, it becomes uncertain in what manner Greece is
to be independent; for if the supremacy over the Greeks
should be reserved to the Porte, but the seat of the
Turkish Government not remain at Constantinople.
such a step could only teed to impede the labours.ot
the negociators, and a new political problem would
arise, the solution of which they would find. more dif-
ficult than the execution of the Treaty of July 6. Un-
der present citcumstances, the declaration of the entire
independence of Greece cannot be otherwise than ad-
vantageous to Europe. The municipal liberty which
it has now to expect from the Allied Powers might
then, perhaps, 6e followed. by greater dangers to
the public tranquility; it might become more op-
pressive to Greece. than the Turkish despotism, and
excite in the unhiippy Greeks the wish rather
again to bear the old chains, broken by so many
efforts and sacrifices, than to be in a state of constant
uncertainty, and. to behold a contest kindled on their
soil and in their seas, which, by the importance of the
contending Powers, and the magnitude of the interests
at stake, must fill Europe with terror,and expose Greece
to be ruined tor ages to come.
It is reported that a great Power has already recog-
nised the truth of these considerations, and proposed
that Greece shall be put in possessioo of the most com-
e &rising, Mow 30.
