STUCK EXCILINGE, TIVELVE O'CLOCK.
The chief business transacting at the Stock-Et-
change this morning, is paying and receiving the
differences of the last Account. Consols opened at
751 i for Money, and 751 76 for the Account.

Paris papers to the 23th have arrived this morning.
They contain an article from Vienna dated Aug. 16,
giving a minute detail of the reduction and destruc-
tion (by the Greeks) of Aivali, a town situated at a
distance of 12 leagues from Smyrna. The carnage
is said to have been caressive. The inhabitants who,
previous to their disasters, amounted to no less than
35,000, were all either ruined or destroyed. The fire
rage.l nearly two days, and, wills the exception of a
few isolated houses, the town was completely con-
tained. The Turks, on finding it impossible to resist
the attack of the Greeks, set fire to the town in more
tllast twentp places. The Greeks who effected the.con•
quest, had landed from a fleet consisting of 70 sloops
of oar.
Dy acconnts from Spain dated Madrid, August 16,
it would appear, that that country still remains in a
state of great agitation.

Mr. Sheriff Warrimas's letter to the Secretary of
State, is assailed by all the Ministerial writers with
inure than their astral malevolence. In their endea-
vours to refute his statement all regard to truth and
decency is rejected. and every trick is resorted to that
sophistry and artifice can suggest. To one passage of
his narrative a false construction is given; another
which is striking and conclusive it suppressed ; here
an effort is made to attack his conduct with petulance,
and there to intimidate his spirit with threats. The
contempt in which tlrete writers bold the under-
standings of the people is in nettling more clearly
manifest than in these attempts. and evinces such an
ignorance of the state of the public mind, and such an
awkwardness in the arts they possess of delusion, as can-
nut, one would think, hut expose them to their employers.
Who, fir instance, could conceive that the statement of
the Sheriff, when the coleavour was marls to throw
his horse over the te ry, could furnish ad occa-
sion for misrepresentation or derision? To the
Courier, however, it affords enough. The object
is to hare it believe.' that the Sheriff was in little
danger. One would suppose, says this shameless
.pint, that the descent wa♦ like the fall of Niagara;
and then appealing with unblushing effrontery, to the
knowledge of all, as if they were referring to an in-
contestible fact, they flippantly remark in a tone of
affected ridicule, that every body knows that the ele.
ration of this causeway would not have upset even a
child's go-cart!!! It i. child's play, incised, to at-
tempt, in such a style, to delude the public; it is only
such children of a larger growth, with whom it is a
favourite, that can read it without disgust. lint it
is not only by petulance and contempt of truth that
the character of the spirited and prudent Sheriff is at-
tacked ; it is assailed, on the other hand, with the most
audacious and serious threats. Referring to the 'transac-
tions that took place on the day of the Qintex's funeral,
and insinuating in a sly and covert manner, what he hail
tot tote frankness to speak out, the Editor of a morn-
ing paper of to-day, has the boldness to subjoin such
paragraph as this Mr. lyat•ruKAY's Conduct."
says see of our correspondents, "` Must aid skull be
inquired into. If others will not do it and an in-
dividual can, his proceedings shall be exposed to a
severe ordeal. lie shall not escape if the law can pu.
tusk him."—That Mr. Sheriff WAITIIMAIN will ever be
an object of resentment to the enemies of constitu-
tional rights, and popular freedom, ire cannot be sur-
prised. The spirit, firmness and consistency with

power. It was not, it will be remarked, till after ai,e
public spirited Sheriff had distioguished himself is
this investigation, that any umbrae bad been tared
at his connect 'during the deer of the funeral. Of tile
disasters of diet day, the whdle blame was thrown ee
first, by the ilinisteiial papers, on Sir Roam:- BAXii,
and afterwards on the COmMittee that had met at
Freemasons' Tavern. Mr. Sheri:f WALTHAM< tat

not thought of, till be exposed the conduct of the Life
Guards on Sunday towards himself as well as the
people ; and for the purpose of recrimination, not only
is recourse bad to the grossest perversion of facts, Let
to the assertion of doctrines more hostile to the spirit
of die laws and the safety of the public than have ever
been broached since England boasted of a tenstitt-
lion. If the military power is not to be subject to
civil authority, what senility can we have for per-
sonal or political rights ?

On Saturday last, the solemn entry of the bake(

Packet-boat at llambnrgh, and proceeded to thateitr.
Atlviers from Frankfort, dated August I', state,
that Professor Krug's Proclamation had prothicmi
great effect in that neighbourhood. In the first few
days after its !publication, 100 young men of gong
tropilies applied to Captain Dulhcrg, in Aschaffenburg.
It is said that a Prince of one of the most distinguish.
ed Sovereign houses in Dermany, who acquired great
military reputation' in the late wars, took particular
interest in the cause. It is even added, that Le
contributed 30,11011 florins towards the equipment
of the young volunteers, and that there was reams
to hope he wobld take an active part in the expe-
dition. 'that the promoters of the husihess are is
earnest appears front the circumstance that large
purchases of cloth for uniforms hare already heel
made. The uniform is blue, with a Red Cross ea the
hreatt.

A letter from Leipsic, Aug. 16, says, of *Mem Btis of
August the proclamation in favour of the Ureeks,p&
fished by Professor Krug, was confiscated, and pis-
ceedingi instituted on account of it, both against
author and the printer, M. Brokhads, the bookseller.
