BOLDF.RS OF COLOMBIAN BONDS.

Baring observod an advertisement inserted in the Morning
Chronicle and Times newspapers of the 10th, from the cortrac-
tors of the Columbian Loan, from the tenour of which adver-
tisement we cannot discover any intention on their part to call
a meeting of the Bondholders, sod being persuaded in common
with a great number of other persona, that an early opportunity
ought to he provided for a public, explanation on the present
state of the Colombian Loan in all Its points,

We the undersigned beg leave to acquaint the Bondholders
that a 'firedog will take pile, at the City of London Tavern,
on Tuesday next, the lOth inst. where some statement and con-
siderations of great importance will be made. The Chair will
be taken at 12 o'rlock precisely.

J. B. LUSADO,
Holders of Colombian Howl.

We are informed from a respectable quarter that the
Contractors of the Colombian Loan are daily expecting
arrivals from Bogota, with the ratification of the old Loan,
and that the new Loan will be contracted• for, and that the
price will not fall short of 80.

The German papers we have received this morning, bring
the following intelligence respecting Greece,. The Seraskier
hloilomet Paths, who, according to letters of the 7th, was Still
at Larissa, has entered Livadia with biz army, 'ad iiadvanc-
lag towards Corinth. ••` : •

The last letters from Bitoglia. Of the sth of August, confirm
the accounts lately received of the defeat of the division of
em army of the Pacha of Scutari near Agraphs.
In the late fire at Constantinople, the magazines near the'
arsenal were destroyed, and many Turks perished in them.—
The number of houses burnt is stated to amount to WOO.—
Constant apprehensions were entertained of fresh excesses of
the fanatical kfusseltnans, who loudly murmur at the course of
public events. Other letters say that the Paths. of Scutari is
endeavouring to gain the Greats by negotiations, before he
attempts his expedition against the Mores.

A long extract from the Oriental Spectator, a paper
hostile to the cause of Greece, reprcsenls the state of the
Greek Islands as extremely singular, each acting for itself
and all in agitation; and the conduct of Odysseus as strange
and inexplicable. It is alleged that there is not in all the
Moroi, a single limn capable of directing the affairs of the
State. Napoli de. Romania, ought, it ie said, to have 7or
5000 men to defend it, and there are only 300 Greeks in the
fort of Polamedes, and 6 or 700 in the town.
By accounts front Rhodes of the 2nd July, the Egyptian
fleet bad left that island, which enjoyed perfect tranquillity.
It had been interrupted for a moment at a point where the
landing of a corps of troops was opposed ; one or two farms
had been plundered. and two or three men killed.
Intelligence from Santonia states, that the Greeks have
laid that Island under contribution. and compelled the in-
habitants to pay them 60,000 piastres ; informing them,
that they would return and make farther demands. At
Spa they have levied a contribution of 40,000 piastres
in money, and 4 or 5000 in provisions. 'Flo invasion of
that Island, which is threatened both the Hydriots and the
Ipsariots, is so deplorable, that numbers of persons leave it
and come to Smyrna. Among them, ii M. Fanoil, the
French Coosa], who, when obliged to gait Athens, took
refage io Syrs, and is now foscedto seek an asylum on the
coast of Asia Minor
