COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Letters received yesterday from ficamd state, that
the former predictions, of the Emperor Nicholas being
obliged to raise more money to carry on the war against
the Ottomans, are realized; and that the firm of Hoe
and Co. of Amsterdam, are the Contr Jetts:a, or Agents
is the Contract of a Luan of 2,000,004. at the very
high price of 99, bearing an interest of five per cent.—
It would seem that the Dutch capitalists did nut much
relish the terms on which the Loan was taken, not more
than one-fourth of the amount having been disposed of
up the beginning of the week; the new Loan is, in
lac., nearly two per cent. above Russian Stock in cir-
culation here, and yielding precisely the same rate of
interest.

Dispatches from Colonel Campbell, at Bago,a, dated
the 10th of April, were received yesterday at the Foreign
Office. No political event appears to hive occurred in
that quarter between Colombia and Peru; tranquillity
prevailed throughout the Republic. Colonel Campbell
had left Bogota for a few weeks, for the benefit o' his
health, and purposed making a tour to the mines work-
ing by the English Company. Sir Robert Ker Porter,
his Majes:y's Consul at Caraccas left that city for Eng-
land, via the United States, an leave of absence.
We have had letters from Panama to the 25th April.
His Majesty's ship Alert had arrived there from San
Blas, front which place she sailed on the 19tH of the
preceding month. The Alert landed at Panama trea-
sure to the amount of 63,447 dollars, and departed from
that place on 23d April with 911,380 dollars, destined
for England by way of Cape Horn.
The British merchant ship John Catto was cot out
from under the batteries of Panama by four armed
launches from the Peruvian vessels of war, Congro and
Macedonia, on the 7th April. She had been previously
taken possession of by the authorities of Panama on the
plea of her having been engaged in smuggling at the
Pearl Islands.

Accounts from Algiers, by way of Leghorn, give a
different explanation respecting the Envoy sent by the
Sultan to the D., to that hitherto current. It is stated
that the object of his visit is to call upon the Dey for a
contingent of vessels of war in defence of the Empire,
and that the Dey had acquiesced, but expressed his belief
that the French blockading squadron would not suffer
them to sail. The Commander of tie French force had
been applied to, but his answer had not transpired. The
Turkish Envoy had proceeded from Algiers to Tunis,
Tripoli, and Morocco, with a view to obtain horn the
different Governments similar assistance.

A letter from Alexandria, dared May 5, says, that

able part in the interior administrati,n, yet hr has made
many important amel.orations in the system ; and a
measure which he has just adopted to er force the pay-
ment of notes when &It., has given great satisfaction to
the European merchants. The brig Tambour had sailed
a few days previously for Egina, with 136 Greek slaves,
which were ransomed by France. Two French physi-
cians, who are charged with p' ironing the Chief of a
Turkish battalion, and 16 soldiers, have b-en roarchial
to the military hospital at Cairn, where they await the
decision of the Council of Health upon the circumstances.
The North Star has, we understand, been the bearer
of some brilliant gems from South America, namely—
diamonds, on account of the Brazilian Government—a
great part of which are already cut—that Government,
with its usual sagacity, having long since imported
from Europe machines of the newest construction for
that purpose. These diamonds, with the Brazil wood
arriving almost weekly, are the exclusive property of
the national Tr eavury, and, together with other remit-
tances from the Northern provinces, in sugar, cotton,
and bills of exchange, being at the free disposal of the
Brazil Legation in this city, must, under proper manage-
ment, contribute essentially to uphold the credit of
Brazils in Europe, and to improve the currency at Rio
d e Janeiro.

FORGERY AT THE BANK ON THE TRANSFER

OF STOCK.

A forgery has been discovered within the la .t day or
two in the transfer of stock. It would appear that the
fraud was effected by an individual representing himself
to be the proprietor of stock, and standing in his name.
The particulars, as far as they have transpired, are
the:et—The individual alluded to went to a broker, and
desired him to sell out 3001. ,tack, which was effected.
the broker identifying the party at the Bank in the cus-
tomary manner, as the party owning the stock standing
in the name on the Bank books. Subsequently, it is said,
another sale of 501. stock was made by the same broker,
'or the person before alluded to, who again personated
the owner of the stock, making the total amount for
which the forgeries were committed, 3501. stock. The
forgery was soon discovered, but the loss will, we un-
derstand, in this instance, wholly tall upon the stock-
brokers, who undertook the task of identifying the in-
dividual who has thus personated another, but who are
fortunately well able to bear the loss. The individual
committing the crime has been able to escape, and must
have been acquainted with the amount of stock standing
in the name of the person whom he represented. and
with the manner of transacting business at the Bank.
The name of the person committing the forgery has
not transpired, but the above statement is given as an
accurate account of the transaction.
