London, June 2l.-The advance in
the French funds had a very favorable
effect on Consols this forenoon; the o.
pening price was Gil for the July &C
count, and the quotation now is ela.
Foreign funds are considerably higher
and the market is reported firm, with
every prospect Of a. further improve
ment.
GREEcE.-Letters of a recent date
from Zante, arrived yesterday by the
French mail, confirm the accounts be-
fore received of the Greek victories O.
yer the troops of the Pacha Of Egypt,
and those Of Redschid Pacha, adding
that the campaign may be considered
as at an end.
Paris, June ls.-The Austrian OBJ
server Of the 9th, contains further ex-
tracts from the Hydra Gazette, from
April %, to May 6.
We must observe, that we have CIV
en- much later news from the Morea,
and that if the Greek Gazettes do not
mention the burning of the Egyptian
feet, it is because it happened two days
later. The Friend of the Laws, No.
los, relates the taking of Odysseus,
who, at the head of Turkish corps,
was compelled by Goura to lay down
his arms at Artalandi. This traitor
has been conducted to Napoli di Ro-
mania.
The Gazette Of Athens confirms this
important news, and adds, that the
Turks, in their rage, masssacred all the
Christians, L;venates carrying away
the women and children.
The Friend of the Laws of the 9th
May, publishes letter from General
Goura himself, dated Dantia, 25th Of
April He says that 500 Turks sur
rendered with Odysseus. On the 2lst
there was severe action, in which the
barbarians lost many men in the plains
Of Turcochori, which is the famous
plain of Leuctra, immortalized by
victory of Epaminondas.
On the oath, the equally famous plain
of Cheronea was the theatre Of new
victory of the Greeks. The barbarians
had many killed and wounded.
The Gazettes of Leghorn and Genoa
announce the arrival in those ports of
vessels from the Ionian islands, which
confirm all the accounts brought to
Trieste by the Corfu packet boat, viz.
the destruction Of the Egyptian fleet,
and the shutting up Of the remains of
Ibrahim's army in Modon.
Paris, June ls.-Five per Cents, loaf

Extract of letter from Madrid:-
The King is in state Of terror at the
progress and audacity of Larega, Gan
ex-officer of the Constitutional army
very wealthy who still scours the
country near Aranjuez, and defies even
the body guard Of the King; but the
chief cause of terror, is an officer Of
cavalry, who has sworn to avenge the
mul der Of nine of the band which he
has formed. These men were execut-
ed here the other day, and died calling
upon their Captain to punish their MUIR
derers. A detachment of the Lancers
of the Royal Guard were seen out "a
gainst the band two days ago, but they
were shamefully defeated, and two Of
them fell by the sword of the Captain
whose head has since had a price set
upon it. A larger body of troops was
ordered out, but they refused to march,
unless they received the arrears Of pay.
This is now the tone Of all, and Fer
dinand threatens to raise money by
forced loan of sixty millions of reals
upon the merchants Of Madrid and
Cadiz. The greatest misery pervades
the country, and the fever is appear
ing in many places. In Andalusia the
people are starving, corn being beyond
their means Of purchase. Fifty miles
from the province it is only at one
fourth gifts price in Andalusia, but as
nine out of ten of the conveys fall into
the hands Of the Constituencies, lit
tie can be obtained"
From the London Courier of the erening of the
22d June.
At a late hour this morning we re-
ceived by express, the Paris papers OF
Monday, and the Etoile dated yester-
day. They do not contain much intel
ligence of importance. The Etoile has
an article respecting the conferences at
Milan, which we give; the Etoile does
not seem TO be well informed upon this
subject.
