intelligence of her own arrival out.

letters for General and Mr.. Geo. w.

The cotton market had been lively
and sales had been made as high as So
to 40 sous for Uplands, and up TO As
for Orleans, but it appears that on the
18th, some alarm existed in the mar
ket. We are favored with the follow
ing extract of private letter on this
subject.
"Havre, 10Th April, 7 n. M.-The ar
rivals OF Cotton pouring in after a long
spell of easteriy winds, some of the
holders and principal importers who
make immense profits, begin to trem-
BILE and are disposed to realize even be-
fore arrival. Considering that the
wants of the interior are great, we a.
vailed ourselves OF panic that was
felt, and purchased yesterday the fol-
lowing parcels expected-5oo bales
Uplands from New York, at $50; and
700 do. at So. We bought day or
two previous, 600 bales Mobiles, per
Louisa at 500; 400 Uplands per Pho
cion, (not yet ar at $50; 500 Maran-
hams, at Al. 1t is not unlikely we may
carry our purchases further, should we
find importers disposed to give way -
These purchases are not yet known to
the public. Egyptian co,tons which
were at 90 % at Marseiles, are now
at SO, and likely to go to 40"

Our Paris papers arc TO the l4th OF
April inclusive. Dates from Constan-
tinople to March 10th, state, that tran
guilty was restored at that place, and
that Patras was still in danger. The
information of the recognition Of the
South American States by the British
Government had been communicated
to the Porte. And it was rumoured
and feared that the same government
was about to acknowledge the indie
pendence Of Greece.
London dates Of April 9th. British
stocks 934. Mr.. Canning was confin-
ed with the govt. A meeting of the
Common Council Of London, was held
on the 9TH, when petition to parlia-

was adopted with but one dissenting
vote.
Paris, AprH lS.-A great noise has
been made for some time respecting a
memoir from the Russian Cabinet, in
which the fate of Greece is treated
with all that Oriental pride SO charac-
teristIc of that cabinet. The authors
of this memoir dispose of the indie
pendence of the Greeks to the advan-
tage of the Holy Alliance, represented
by the Sovereign who is considered as
chief Of it. The Morea must receive
a constitution, and even Prince that
will suit Russia, and the other revolt
ed and free provinces must come again
under the yoke of the Porte, OH the
conditions which are imposed on the
principalities of Moldavia and Walla-
ehia.
This diplomatic document has caus-
ed great sensation in Greece and in
Constantinople. MIR. Rodios, Secreta-
ry OF the provisionary government Of
the Morea, has addressed letter TO
MIR. Canning, dated oath August, 1924,
claiming the protection of Great Bri-
tain against the protectorate Of Russia,
even more than against the oppression
Of the Turks. On the LIST December,
of the year, Mr.. Canning answered to
this demand, declaring the neutrality
Of England. Both of these papers are
published in the Augsburg Gazette.
MIR. Rodios asserts that Greece is
worthy of independence from the sac
rihces she has made to obtain it. He
also declares, in the name of the Gov
eminent of which he is the secretary,
tina, their compatriots prefer death to
| the condition which the Note of the
Cabinet of Petersburg prescribes to
them. He makes formal claim of
the protection of the English Cabinet
from all interferences of whatever kind
they may be, and appears to rely upon
this protection, from the policy which
Great Britain has adopted with respect
to the new states of America.
MIR. Canning has anwered that he is
ignorant if this document which has
caused so much alarm to the Greeks,
can be considered as official; but at
all events, he is persuaded Of the good
