PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. • •
" Ltamoex, Si',. se.
" After so many vague and contradictory reports
respecting the late events in Greece, we. have just te•
ceived the most authentic dispatches respecting the
battle which has once 'mote saved M;ssol'righi friirn
the fury of the barbarians. The Porte, tired of the
promises of Redschid, and despairing of his ever making
himself master of that town, had exiled him to Asia,
where death will perhaps soon overtake him. Jussuf
Pacha, being appointed in his room, left Patras, the
command of which he gave up to lbr•hint, with the
Turkish fleet and 7,000 men, commanded by the apos-
tate S Ives. These troops joined the remains of the
army of Redschid Pacha, and, on the SO .h of December,
Missolonghi was again attacked by sea and land. The
garrison defended it with unparalleled courage: yet i;
was threatened with total destruction, when the G:eek
fleet, consisting of 72 vessels, appeared in the Gult. The
brave Miaulis manseuvred on this occa,ion with so
much ability, that he forced the Turco•Egyptian fleet
to a general action: it was very obstinate. The ship
of Miaulis was sunk, but he happily got on board ano-
ther, with his crew. At length victory declared for the
Greeks: the enemy took to fl;ght, 'after having lost
about 16 vessels, as well frigates as brigs, which were
burnt and sunk. The Greeks lost four vessels, the
crews of which were almost all saved. As for the
Turks who attacked on the land side, they not only
failed in their enterprise, but after having been driven
far from the town by the garrison of 7.000 men, and
by 5,000 fresh troops whom Miaulis had landed, they
were almost all destroyed. A report is even current
at this moment, which, if true, would crown the joy
of the Greek:. It is said that Colocottoni, profiting
by the absence of Ibrahim Pacha, has made himself
master of Tripolizza, the Egyptian garrison of which
has been cut to pieces.

Our Readers will observe with satisfaction, that at
the Meeting of the Proprietors of Bank Sock, which
was held yesterday, the utmost readiness was evinced,
by a very large majority, to meet the wishes of
'`is Majesty's Government, for improving the state
of the Currency, as far as that depends on the sur-
render of the exclusive privileges of the Ba.•.k. This.
important Establishment has acted wisely, and prudent-
ly, by such a well-timed concession. The later from the
Earl of Ltv EltfOOL, which was read to the Meeting, car -
not fid to attract the atteLtion of the puttlic,as it et..!

I.,„dies the views of Ministers:Ott the prtsent asyeet or
.jmmercial credit, and on the ilheans of restoring it to
wonteJ vigour. This docuMent is to be printed,
.nd until we shall have had an opportunity of con.
)iJering it, with all the attention which its importance
demands, We must postpone such observations as the
T. Lure of the -subject is eminently calculated to awaken.
T:ie basis, however, of the improvement which Govern-
ment I.)ok I rward to, consists in at return to cash pay-
!lien's by All possible mans. This end is undoubtedly
forwaided by the propoied suppression of small notes•
But it never can be lintirey accomplished by any

conceivable process, 'fat that of limiting within a very
narrow compass the'amount of circulating medium in
paper. Nor is the question, in our humble opinion,
materially alteredby the-ultimate validityof such paper.
rn whatever quantity the Bank of England, or any
other establishment, shall issue their notes beyond the
_
amount of gold and silver actually in their posse-sion,

of which such notes profess to be tie representative, to
that same extent, and nu further, is the power of the
rrecious metals to purchase commodities diminished.
;::aless, therefore, the contemplated improvements are
to reach so far as to restrain the amount of paper sent
forth, prices will corrinue to else slowly, gradually,
and certainly, as we have recently witoessed, ' until
they attain their old level, such as they were before
the removal of the restriction as to cash. payments!
Left to themselves, the Country Banks, although each
and every one of them shall be as solvent as the Bank of
Elgland, are not likely, because of that solvency and of
the superior credit which is its necessary result, to re-
strain the quantum of circulating medium in paper.—
N,,; is such a consequence to be expected from the
establishment at the principal cities in the country,
of branches of the Bank of England, of which
we observe the Directors think favourably. This
must greatly increase the issues of the Bank, which
many are disposed to consider quite large enough
already ; and we cannot, without fear and trem-
bling, lonic forward to the possibility of such an ex-
tension of the paper circulation as shall affect the
market price of gold. vire know the inevitable conse-
quence wiil be the renewal of the Bank Restriction on
cash paymeas.
The case of Scotland is referred to, in proof of the
efficacy of unlimited partnerships in Banking concerns.
We have already shewn, at some length, that from the
mere circumstance of simple contract debts bearing in-
terest in that country, a smaller quantity of circulating
medium suffices for the purposes of ordinary affairs.—
Thus, as stated by the Earl of LIVERPOOL, there are
only thirty banks its Scotland, while there are between
eight and nine hundred in England. The discussion of
these su'ijects, however, in Parliament, is at hand, and
ve, in common with the rest of the nation, wait the
event wills no small, anxiety.
In the Royal Speech at the opening of Parliaments
on Thursday, his MAJESTY announced the conclusion of
a. Convention between this Country and France, foundqt
on those liberal principles of trade and navigation
which received the sanction of Parliament last Session.
This Convention is also a sdhject of congratulation in
the Speech of the King of France, to the Chambers, on
Tuesday last. His Majesty CHARLES X. says it will
lender more uniform and less onerous, the condition to
Which the reciprocal navigation of the two kingdoms*
and their colonies, are subject, and he declares that be
expects from it, happy results to maritime commerce;
that such will be the case we have no doubt.
The principles of trade and navigation to which the
Royal Speech alludes, are those established by two
Acts which passed the Legislature last Session. By
one of these it was enacted, that the privilege then first
granted ta foreign ships, should be limited " to ships of
those countries which, having colonial possessions,
should giant the like privileges of trading with those
possessions to British ships."
If, however, instead of meeting us on this basis, any
country should levy higher duties on British produce
or manufactures than upon those of another nation,
it is provided, by another Act, also passed in the
last Session, to counteract the effect of such policy, by
enabling his MAJESTY, by Order in Council, to direct
,at there should be levied an additional duty, not
exceeding one•fifth of the amount of the existing duty,
Lyon all inerchandize, the growth, produce, or manu-
lecture of any country levying higher duties on our
bierchandixe than on that of any other nation.
In pursuance of those principles of (tee trade which
.uit Government has adopted, we began in the most
t,heral way towards France, by reducing the duties on
ler wines, without demanding any equivalent, and
sonie persons thought we had carried our liberality too
tar; toe French Government, however, must have felt
how well the twe Acts prevented any Power taking an
undue advantige of our concession, which was, in fact,
sttioly conditional so far as regarded the colonies, and
partly so is: respect to the wines, the duties of which
ve cotild at once increase one fifth. The French Go.
sell merit has, therefore, wisely recognized the principles
end the Convention to which we have

tave stated, and the Hanseatic towns,

This forenonn we received the Austrian Ueserver to
the 2SJ ult. It contains an esposi, of the mistatementsl
in the private correspondence of certain FI ench Journals,
respecting the time the news of the Emperor Autitam • ,
DIM'S death readied Zante, and the manner in which it
was-received in Greece. Leaving, however, theinurn
of Paris and Vienna to settle these matters themselves,
we shall only quote from the Austrian Observer, the
following sho:t article:
VIENNA. -ANVILS', 51.

Accotding to accounts fromConstantinople,of the 25th December
little information of any consequence kad been received front the
theatre of war since the last post. A letter of Admiral Nikons,
dated oil Clarenza, inserted in the Hydra Gazelle of the 2d of
December, fully confirms the news of his unsuccessful attack on
the division of the Turkish nett stationed at the entrance of the
Gulf of Patras.

Besides Euuney Bey and Nedsthid Effendi,.the.Commissioners
sent to Greece, several Greek Priests of high rank have likewise
been sent thither by the Porte, to exhort their deluded countrymen
to submission. The Sultan has, at the same time, sent fresh orders
to all Governors and Pachas of the Provinces inhabited by the
Greeks, to treat all Raja* with mildness, to protect their rights,
and to refrain from all violence and oppression. The uews of the
unexpected death of the •Emperor of Russia, at Taganrog, was
brought here an the. 2241, by several letter* from Odessa.
Just at our Paper was going to Press, we received
the Constitutionnel of Thursday, and the t toile of yes-
terday. Nothing of interest occurteJ in either of the
Chambers, for the Legislative Body in France does ;tot
proceed so soon to business as in England. The Moils
contains the speech of the Duke of CAsnotpost, on
opening the Assembly of the States of Hanover, on the
24d ultimo.
An article from. Madrid of the 25th ult. states, that
a Spanish Ambassador will be sent to this country, and
among the persons named as likely to be appointed,
are the Duke of SAN CARLOS, Comte d'ALCUDIA, and
M. de LABRADOR*

Letters from Trieste of the 17th ult. confirm the ac-
count of the successes of the Greeks at Missolonghi,
and repeat the report that CoLccomtNi had retaken
