An elpedition sent from the Moluccas to the coast of New Gui-

I deg. 21 min. South latitude, and 133 deg. 57 min. longitude from
Greenwich. The lag of the Netherlands was hoisted on the 24th
August, 1828, his Majesty's hinh.day, and a proclamation hared
by which possession was taken of the coast of New Guinea from
141 deg. longitude from Greenwich, on the South coast, in a N. W.
direction to the Cape of Good Hope on the North coast.

A Correspondent assures us that the conduct of the
newly-appointed Constables who were stationed in
Coventry-street on Tuesday night was shamefully in-
decorous : that, instead of enforcing regularity, they
themselves set an example of the most disgusting
profligacy ; and that, so far from endeavouring to
preserve even the appearance of good order, the
" trusty guardians of the peace " (whose first object,
we are told, should be " the prevention of crime") were
actively and openly engaged in solacing themselves for
the fatigues of duty, by wanton outrages upon public
decorum, and taking the most indecent liberties with
every unfortunate female who approached their " beat."
Really the Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Depart-
ment should look to this. For the introduction of this anti-
national system—for the appointment and organisation of
this unconstitutional species of getulareserie—we are in-
debted to him; and as he has thus incurred a serious re-
sponsibility,we are anxious, for his sake, that the experi-
ment may have fair play—which it certainly cannot have,
if the humbler instruments be the promoters of licentious-
ness, and the encouragers of vice. But we foresee, that
unless a very rigorous system be immediately adopted, it
will, ere long, become necessary to appoint a Watch and
Ward Establishment of the inhabitants, to keep the
Armed Police of the Government in order.

This afternoon the LORD MAYOR went to the Foreign

CITY. TwaLva o'CLocc

Consols, which left off yesterday at 89A to i for the
account, opened this morning at 891 buyers; at which
price they remain steady ; but there is little or no busi-
ness doing, owing to the speculators being put to their
wits how to act, by the various contradictory accounts
received within these few days from the East. It now
appears, however, by the express from Paris received this
day, that the negociations were not broken off, as re-
ported, but only suspended ; the Turkish Commissioners
having asked time of the Russians to consult with the
Sultan, on certain concessions as a security. It also ap-
pears, that the Sultan is more in dread of his own sub-
jects than the Russians ; which is confirmed by the ac-
counts from Pen, of the 6th September; and that peace
was expected to be signed on the 13th September.
In the Foreign Market there is a complete stagnation
at present, and the prices are nominal.
CITY. HALF-PAST OWL.

We called attention some days since to the retirement
of General CHURCH from the chief commend of the
land forces of Greece. Few of our countrymen are im-
bued with a more enthusiastic spirit of liberty than Sir
RICIIARD CHURCH ; few have distinguished themselves
more than he in that most sacred of all causes to nations,
whether when pleaded for in Senates, or disputed for in
battle fields. The retirement of the Generalissimo is—
by his own showing—on account of personal incompati-
bilities between himself and the Government of Greece.
Indeed, it has been long notorious that the Russian crea-
ture, CA PO D'ISTRIAS, viewed with jealousy and suspicion
the devotion of the Greek troops. to their English com-
mander : he feared the dissemination among them of those
anti-despotic principles, which might render them trouble-
some and untractable to Russia, when the time should
come for her unconcealed dictation to be imposed, and he
lost no opportunity to thwart, embarrass, and disgust the
object of their dangerous attachment. , Such a conduct
was natural in CAPO DISTRIAS, who owed his elevation
to the will of the AUTOCRAT, in the first place—who
absolved him from his allegiance, only on the understand-
ing of specially covenanted services—and in the second
place, to the diplomatic intrigues of Poazo DI BOAGo.
General Cit vault's letter of resignation, directed to
the national Representatives assembled in Congress at
Argos, and read there, does not blink the fact of his
own deep and irremovable disgust. " I do not mean,
honourable Representatives"--says the Generalissimo—
" to enter into the details of the services which I may
have rendered, nor of the difficulties thrown in my way
in the execution of my official duties in the _field,
where I was acting from principle, for the service of
Greece exclusively. I will merely say that Pao-
v DENcz, witnessing my unqualified devotion to the
cause I had espoused, the sacred cause of the
emancipation of Greece, finally crowned my ex-
ertions—exertions which were nobly seconded by
the valour, patriotism, and perseverance of the
troops of the land and naval service, under my imme-
diate orders—with the liberation of some of our most
beautiful and extensive provinces, and with the resto-
ration or acquisition to Greece of various cities and
fortresses. Among these is Misaolonghi, whose
fame will be for ever trancendent in the history of
the war for the emancipation of your coOntry." He
then desires them to be persuaded, that in separating
himself from the actual Government of Greece, he does
not separate himself from Greece in heart, nor in the
sincere and ardent desire for her emancipation, and the
re-establishment of her civil liberties. The Generalissimo
then proceeds:—
" /may say with truth, that had I consulted ass feelings wily,
wooded as they have bent on massy eeeasiews, I slieuld have taken this
step some time ago I and devotion to Ike cause I Gram has stow
prevented me from sto skim. The moment was not yet arrived.
Honourable Representatives, for my renouncing my command, for
the great work of driving the Turks out of Western Greece was not
yet accomplished ; but as soon as, through Theme P&O,121111CI and
my brave companions in arms, the operations on the Gulf of Arts,
the occupation of Macrinoros, and the capitulation of Canvassers,
had decided the fall of Lepanto and blissolonghl. and the total
liberation of Western Greece, I repaired to the seat of Govern-
ment, where, on the Ant opportunity offered me by his Ricelkncy
the President. "item him to understand that it was Ma ay steno-
Lion to serve tauter the actual system."
Such has been the noble forbearance of this magna-
nimous Commander, while western Greece—yet incom-
pletely liberated—was struggling in the toils of tyranny.
Until the attainment of that perfect liberation, he
brooked unmurmuring the systematised activity of
Russian insult, contumely, and counteraction : and
it is only when this grand desideratum is achieved,
that he withdraws—deeply disgusted—from the service
of the State which his talents and valour have redeemed.
The conclusions to be drawn, then, from this resiglation

Our City correspondent tells us that " the report of the
dispatches from Admiral MALCOLM going to Mr. GOR.-
DEN ,having been taken by the Russians, is void of truth;"
and he can also state, that " the best understanding pre-
vails between the Russian and the English Government."
The same gentleman adds—" up to the present hour
we have no reports in the city ! !"—This, at all events,
must be considered a new thing. If not in the City there

are reports elsewhere.
The Gazette of Madrid has published the following :
" His Majesty the King of Spain has taken the greatest
interest in the prosperity of the new colony, Fernandina
de Jugua, situated in the south side of the Isle of Cuba,
in a healthy and fertile country, which is fit for cultiva-
tion in every respect. His Majesty has given orders for
the protection of all persons and cultivators who wish
to establish themselves there, and land will be allotted

to them at certain prices."
The Journal du Havre states, by accounts from the
Havannab to the 2d August, that at the commencement
of the year, there only remained 8000 hogsheads of sugar
of the old crops ; and there was never a season promising
more favourable for the planters ; but great reins having
fallen, which have caused considerable injury to the qua-
lities of the sugars, the result is, that there remains in the
City as great a quantity of sugar as in the country ; for
exportation and consumption calculated at 80,000 casks.
Accounts front Paris say that the French Government
have given orders to dismantle 40 small ships, 19 of
which belong to the port of Toulon, most of which are
brigs and goellettes.

The Attakapas Gazette, of the 18th of July, gives a
most gloomy account of the state of business in that part
of the country. It states from all parts that the rains
which have lately fallen for a number of weeks, have
greatly injured the planted crops of cotton and cane,
which have been very distressing to the inhabitants, and
the navigation is entirely blocked up by the fall of the
Mississippi. The price of cotton is very low, and these
may be really called hard times.
The Earl and Countess of HADDINGTON left town

It is now given out as from good authority, that the
British beet in the Mediterranean is to be increased to
fifteen sail of the line, during this year. Great exer-
tions are now making in the repairs of the St. Vincent of
120 guns, and, along with another ship of the same rate,
she will be dispatched to the Mediterranean as soon as
she can be got ready for sea. The Donegal,
the
Ganges, and the Talavera, of 80 guns each, ars ordered
for the same destination. It is not yet certain, but it is
supposed, that the Kent, of 78 guns, will complete the
intended number.
