CITY BUSINFIIII.—The Lord Mayor yesterday held
a Court of Aldermen at Guildhall for the despatch of
goteral business. The Court took into consideration
the petition of the ship owners of Newcastle and Sne-
derland, presented at a former court, for the reduction
or the wages of the coal-whippers, when it was re•
s .acrd that the wages of the coal-whippers he reduced
to the standard of the Act of Parliament of the 47th
of his late Majesty. the same to take place fro:n the
2.5 th of December next. The inquests of the Wards
of Queenhithe Intl Alsigate, and of the Parish of St.
Squlchre in the Ward of Farringdon Without, at-
tended, and made presentments of ruinous houses :ind
ron.fremnen, which were severally referred. The
Court broke np at half past four o'clock. IR the
coarse of the arrangement for the ensuing Lord Mayor's
Day, it is understood, that the Sheriffs objected to the
introduction of the military in the procession from
the Guildhall to support the renowned men in ar-
moor, in the apprehension that some disturbance
or breach of the peace might be occasioned in the City
by their appearance ; probably from a recollection of
what had recently excited the popular feeling in an-
other part of the town; and that any thing which
might, in the remotest degree, affect the general liar-
moil or excite acrimonious feeling, or might inter-
rupt the day of carousal, ought to be carefully avoid-
ad.—The Lord Mayor Elect, we understand, was
against the violation of the ancieat custom, and did
not consider it was possible that the appearance of t.
military could excite any disturbance among the citi-
zens. Whilst this question was under discussion, it
is said, the circumstance came to the knowledge of
Lord Sidnsouth, who settled the dispute, by sending
word that Government bad determined that the Horse
Guards should not attend to join in tit^ procession.

STOCK EXCH.4NGE, ONE O'CLOCK.

On the arrival of the French mails this morning,
the contest in the Stock-Exchange commenced
with great spirit. Some large purchases were
made by the leaders of the speculation for a
rise, which of course improved the market t—but large
lots of stock for money, being offered and not taken,
checked the advance which they were -intended to
effect. Upon the whole, however, although the al-
teration in price is trifling, the Bulls we think have
the best of I:. Consols for Account 7S buyers, and
761 sellers fur money.

A series of Paris papers have arrived this morning
to the sth instant.
Private letters from Augsburg of the 29th ult. state,
on the authority of news from Vienna, that previous to
the departure of Prince Metternich for Hanover, a
Courier was dispatched to St. Petersburg, and that a
few hours afterwards another was sent after him by
the Russian minister Count Oolowkin.
Reductions have recently been made in the Austrian
army, which induces a belief that peace will still be

maintained.
By advises from Hermanstadt dated O: t. 21st, we are
informed that the Pacha of Brussa had arrived with his
army on the North of the Straits, and that ail the city of
Constantinople was filled with troops at the period of
the 26th and 27th of September. Two fresh armies
were then expected there, one under the command of
the Paella of llamas, and the other under the Chief
Ibrahim Bey. All the Paellas of Asia had received
orders to muster as many troops as they could and
have them at the disposal of the Porte. The formation
of an army on the frontiers of Persia has become a
question ; because the Schah of Persia has rejected the
propositions made by the Porte. The opinion
however, at Constantinople is, that an accommo.
dation will he effected ; but that it will be impos-
sible to prevail upon the Schah of Persia to form
an alliance offensive and defensive as was previously.
offered to him. The Grand Seignor is absolutely deaf
to all reasonings, about rights, and, above all, about
concessions. In ease of a war with Russia, lie has re
solved to place himself at the head of the Ottoman
forces. All these things prove that peace is not much
reckoned upon at Constantinople. Nevertheless, the
negotiations go on without interruptions; they even
seem to take a favourable turn. The contents of a
letter, dated the 27th, from Constantinople, in some
measure, bear out this appearance. They state, that
the Porte had successively adopted several resolutions,
which fulfilled the different demands of Russia.
The accounts from Vienna, October 20, are of a
satisfactory nature. Two of the principal commer-
cial houses there have heard by way of Trieste, that
Tripolina, the capital of the Peloponnesus, has
capitulated to the Greeks. Besides a great quantity
of munitions and provisions the Greeks have found in the
place an immense deal ofsilver. The reduction of Tripe,.
zza places at the disposal of the Greeks 14,000 effective
men who carried on the siege. A ship from Calamata
brought the news to Trieste on the 13th. An English
vessel arrived at Calamata from Smyrna two days be.
fore the departure of the above vessel, and brought
the intelligence that all the French and English
vessels had quitted that place unexpectedly. This af-
forded to the Turkish populace an opportunity of
renewing their persecutions against the Greeks.
Advises from Madrid dated Oct. 24th, on the au-
thority of a letter from Castellar de la Nuch (Catalo-
nia) announces that Oriol the Chief of the Royalists
hail appeared in that commune at the head of a consi-
derable body of men; he burnt the public copy of the
constitution, and displaced the constitutional authori-
ties. All the militia in the neighbourhood were sent
in pursuit of him.

New York Papers of the ult. arrived this morn-
ing, one day later than those received yesterday. From
these we extract the following :
The Dutch brig of war Mercury, of 10 guns, which
sailed front Curracoa and Porto Cabello was struck
with lightning the same night, which carried away
the mainmast and rendered her unmanageable. She
was run ashore near the ?tulle Plantation, where she
was entirely lost in a heavy storm. Shortly after the
lightning struck the Mercury she was discovered on
fire ; all the powder on board having been thrown
ot•erboard. Three persons were injured by the falling
of the mast.

with several other vessels, sailed from Havannah on
