a summary of its most important Tea
lures:
The London Globe Of July 9th, says:
"The Treaty .. the great European
Powers for the protection Of Greece, has
been signed in England The British
ships OF the line, from the Tagus, have
probably. by this time, sailed for the
Dardanelles, under Admiral Beauclerc."
There are many circumstances which
lead to the belief that this CRAFTY ing in
formation may be relied upon. Another
London paper, the Times, states 1t thus;
"a Treaty for the settlement of the
affairs of Greece, between England,
France, and Russia, was signed IN
Downing street, London, on the 9th
July. The stipulations of the Treaty, 1T
is said, would not be made public until
the ratifications were exchanged. The
London Times says, the delay which
has occurred in signing this Treaty, has
been occasioned by the opposition oil
Austria"
Che Porte is positively stated to have
refused the intervention OF the Euro
pean Powers in regard TO the affairs Of
Greece, and to have resolved to listen
to no further applications upon the SUBJ
iect. All Mussulmen are to be sum-
moued to arms.
The Bank of England, has resolved
to discount bills and notes, not having
more than 95 days to run, at the rate OF
four per cent. per annum. This notice
has been followed by like notices
from the Provincial banks. y Branch
bank has commenced business at Liver
pool.
The news from England inserted in
our columns to day, ~corroborates the
statement made by the French papers,
that the Great European Powers had
determined to interfere in the war be
tween the Turks and Greeks, and res
cue the latter from annihilation. What
may be the result of this interference
when the paciication of Greece is efiec-
ted, must be developed by time, but It
would seem that the Turks are not init
Undated by the appearance of the threat
ening storm.
The Porte assigns these reasons for
its refusal to permit the Intervention OF
foreign powers in behalf OF the Greeks,
namely,-lst, Because they are contra
ry to the doetrlne of absolute obedience
which subjects " to their legitimate
Sovereigns. I'd. Because the right OF
the sovereign to regulate his affairs
himself cannot suffer any %dIminution,
and because the Chief, as well as the
people of the mdssulnans, have never
permitted such an Intervention. Sd Be
cause these proposals are contrary to
the declarations made 90 his return to
Verona, by Lord Strangford, the late
English Ambassador, who affirmed that
be would never interfere in this affair.
4th Because they are equally contrary
10 the Convention OF Akerman.
Athens has surrendered, land the terms
OF capitulatlon secured the lives of the
garrison, and afforded protection to the
inhabitants, a mercy scarcely expected
from the length o! time consumed in its
defence, and the number of lives which
must have been sacrificed by the pro.
tracted siege, and almost daily sklrmish
ing with the advanced posts.-B Bal. GAG.

"Since our last, the schr. Phebe and
Susan, which sailed from P~ernambuco
July 10, has come up from Quarantine,
and we regret to find that the news of
peace is not so completely established
as we had hoped. Captain Hedge only
mentions the intelligence as a report
which bad reached there several days
before he sailed-and a number of let
tiers from American houses of the first

silent on the subject of peace, which
certainly would have been spoken of, ii

of the American Consul, July 9, which
makes no mention of the reported

There seems little doubt, however,
hat the preliminaries of a Treaty had
been formed at Rio Janeiro aud sent to
Buenos Ayres; but when or whether
they would be ratified, remains uncer-
