STOCK-EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In consequence of the various fluctuations this morning in the Omni.= and Funds, a great bustle and confusion prevailed at the Stock Exchange.— Consols opened at 68k. and fell to 68—Omnium opened at dis. and was done at 2 1 dis. and are now (twelve o'clock) Omnium dis. Consols 64. ONE O'CLOCK Notwithstanding the combined efforts of a great majority iu the House to depreciate the new Omnium, it has recovered from the depreciation experienced in the early part of the rooming. Last night it left off at If discount, but at the commencement of busi ness today it opened at two discount, fell to three, when several eminent Brokers began to purchase, and one Gentleman alone b3ught llalf a Million.— The Bear then became alarmed, and were appre lensive they had carried matters too far; a re-action took place, a nd purchasers were eager to buy dis count, the price at one o'clock, and the markets locked exceedingly well. Consols commenced at 68f, and at the same' hour were 681 Z-3. The Com missioner gave 67; for Reduced. Last night the CITANCLLLOR of the Excitutina bmught the Budget in detail before the Commons, but in fact he had infore communicated the leading parucularc, and little remained but to put the respec tive Tax to tae vote. The total supplies of the year are £15,477,000. T:ie amount of aPplicable revenue £7,074,000. The Loan of £12,000,000 being addc,!, l-aves a surplus over the Supplies. But in addition to the £18,477,000, there remain to be provided for £1,570,000 interest on Exchequer Bills, £430,000 Sinking Fund thereon, and £10,597,000 for the pay. went of Exchequer Bills, of which £5,000,000 are chit to the Bank, and the remainder to meet Exche quer Bills in the hands of the Public, the whole making the charges for the year £31.074,000 ex ceedlng the Ways and Means already stated by £12,000,000, which twelve millioni are met by the Loan of £12,000,000 from the Sinking Fund.

The fixed Stock to be given for every £lOO, as our Readers will recollect, was £BO in the three per Cents. and the Biddings to be in the Reduced ; and the Bidding!: were, as we stated yesterday, Mr. It Ol 'RCM= ,C6ll Is P Messrs.

Rim, I Kvomorad Co 65 10 0 _ lamest 4 .5 8 Mr. ROTHSCHILD proposing to take the lowest quantity of Reduced* was of course declared to be the Contractor: _ _ _ It appears by the statement of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, that in the next year £11,000,000 may be wanted beyond the produce of the ordinary resources of the Country, and £5,000,000 for the re payment to the Bank. If £12,000,000 should then be taken from the Sinking Fund, as has been done in the present instance, only £4,000,000 will remain to be raised ; and if this cannot be avoided, the Right Honourable Gentleman hopes it will be the last time Government will have occasion to trouble the Money Market in time of Peace. The principal subject of discussion in the debate thatlollowed related to the Three Millions of Taxes imposed towards the creation of a new Sinking Fund. The Tax oil Malt was strongly objected to as one that would fall upon the grower—an absolute ab surdity ; for this Tax can only affect the grower to the extent of his own consumption. The argument of the Cumict'LLOtt of the ENRIQUE" is equally void of foundation: for he contends that it may be expected the Brewers will pay it I Yes, indeed, they will, in the first instance, with a profit to the Malt titer; but they will charge both to the consumer, and also a profit upon both, to remunerate themselves for the increase of capital required to carry on their bu siness. Such shuffling in arguments for or against a Taz is ridiculous. The question is a very simple one, the necessity of raising the moneybeing once admitted. Is the Tax one that can be as easily borne (for borne it must be) by the people, as any other that could be devirzd ? and, can it be easily collected? The question before the House was not how the sum wanted could be raised on the rich, without burthen ing the poor, or the arguments would haye assumed a different complexion. No taxes whatever can be raised that are not ultimately paid by the industry of the community ; and it needs no argument to prove which are the classes that furnish the requisite labour. The fact to which this points should never be lost sight of by the Legislature; for if this body ever suf fer itself to believe that money, for the expenses of the State, can be derived from any other source than the labour of the industrious classes, farewel to all ef6cient attempts to introduce a system of real fru gality in the Public expenditure. We might here point out, we will not say the cri minal, but, the impolitic and imprudent indifference with which some men view from day to day the self expatriation of numbers of people from the want of the means of subsistence! Every man separated from the country is so much lost to its Revenue ; for it is not the M.tit, the Tea, the Coffee, that furnishes the Taxes, but the mouths that consume the Malt, Tea and Coffee. Think a little, ye blind men, who pro mise yourselves a reduction of taxation by sending away that very class of people uhimately pay every farthing that is paid to the Pubic Treasury Cr to your Pari..h - Rates. You might a: well expect to increase the quantity of wool brought to market by killing all the she? that they may not eat up the grass, as premi,e yourszivek a diminution of burthens by lessening the population. Away with such non sense. The greater the number of :he Imes of bur den in any caravan, the less will be the weight that each will have to carry. The P.o is Papers rf -day arrived :hit ..rorenoon.

An article under the head of Stockholm, dated the 24th May, states, that according to reports which are in circulation there, a considerable assemblage of troops is forming in the environs of St. Petersburgh ; that in Denmark all soldiers absent on leave have been recalled; and that an invitation has been made to the Pam! 111tOEST (of England) on the part of a great Continental Power, to form a strong cordon of troops on the Elbe, which may be in communication with the troops of a neighbouring Power. As to our own military state, adds the writer, by way of hint. we presume, to the Powers who are taking up this threatening attitude--it is complete, and we do not see how it can be augmented Colonel MASSENBACII has been cashiered, and condemned to five years imprisonment in a citadel. Who were his Judges ? FROti OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. " PARIS, JUNE 7. " We thought better of M. Bignon than to sup pose him capable of the miserable subterfuge which, in the absence of all news, set the quid nuucs agog., His secret, his terrible secret, is a mere farce enve loped in mystery, the insignificance of which we would not hesitate to unfold, by telling the whole xtcry, were we not certain that M. Bignon, to keep up his credit, would act like the Marquis de Barthelemy, and change his ground. What need have we of any secret, real or forged, relative to the exiles? In a*- presentative Government, every man's property and person is under the safeguard of the laws and the King, who has no more right to infringe the laws than the meanest of his subjects, and for every breach of them he ought to be brought to trial in the per tens of his responsible Ministers. If this be not the case, the government is merely despotism, wearing the mask of a free constitution, a political Tartuffe or Mawworm. As to the exiles, and especially those called Regicides, they are unjustly banished, because every form of law and the constitution has been vio lated with respect to them : on such a principle no man's life or property is safe, for it only depends on the King's pleasure, that of a Minister, or perhaps his valet, or his valet's mistress, to banish any person whatsoever without any form of process or trial what ever. Can such a system inspire public confidence? Impossible 1 for no man is safe; it is but one step more to lettre de cachet and the Bastile, and but ano ther to the ancient practice of getting rid of trouble some persons by the bowl and dagger; it is only an extension of the principle already put in practice.• Bet let the lovers of despotism beware : the military am. :,~ potisat of Bonaparte was suffered. because it led to honour and glory ; but that despotism which has no other object than to replace the nation under the feu dal yoke, under the axes, the saws, and harrows ef the Church, will never be tolerated. It is only by a strict adherence to the Charter, that the House of Bourbon can hope to remain on the Throne : let it secure the love of the nation, and not excite its hatred or contempt. The danger is great; it is imminent with respect to the Regicides—all France i 3 regicide, and most of alt those who cr y out so much against them. Certain letters are not forgotten : they are too precious documents to be neglected, and were. we to produce them, the real Regicides would be found where they are least suspected; but even grantiv,g the charge to be true, and part of the exiles were Regi cides, the will of Louis XVI. expressly forbids all his family either to avenge or punish ; and the Char ter declares, that no one shall be troubled for any opinion, or votes emitted before the restoration. Here, then, oblivion of the past is recommended by the Charter: there was no pardon to grant, no person to pardon; the faults, errors, and crimes, of all parties, Royalist and Republican, were equally to be buried in oblivion. But say the others, the Regicides re lapsed and brought Bonaparte from Elba ; we deny the charge, and we defy them to produce the slightest legal proof of the fact; indeed, four years have elapsed, and it has been impossible to discover the slightest trace of any one having co-operated with him. The cause of his return is very s'mple : he ceded the crown on certain conditions, those conditions were refused to be fulfilled, and he returned to re sume possession of what he considered his property ; every man would do the same Its an estate, why not fora kingdom? But, add the Ultras, the Regicide.- did not defend the King in March, 1815 ; true, znd we should like to discover the name of one sir.gl? person who did defend him : it ought to be hung up in the Temple of Fame, and thus pronounce the con demnation of all parties, from the Ultra to the Jaco bin, who deserted their Monarch in the hour of ncel. The Ultras, indeed, s•xote to defend him ; these gen tlemen in pace Lconcs, in prali9 cerri, sheaved that the old parable was preph;:tic as to them ; for no deer could run so fast, or so ftr as they did when the moment of danger approached. It is to the advice, the wretches that N pions pension was not pi.l ; dint he returned 'coin Elba ; and that sixty millions sterling of 13titish property, and much of her best blood was shed to replace matters as they were. Thee are the wretches whom England fed with the bread of her children during twenty-five years, and who, after . all, are seeking, even at this very moment, the downfall of England, and intriguing with Russia, who strives to be prepared for all circumstances ; but - a previous operation is called for by certain ti.en ; viz. the dethronement of Charles John. This has long been meditated, but a certain Power is not yet strong s ough to attempt it, and England knows her own interests too well to be cajoled by the sycophan tic promises of the parries to the Sainte Allitrnce; she will not forget that the league was formed under a similar name, La Sainte Union. etr The expreulons of M. Bignon, alluded to by onr Corres pondent, appeared in a speech which he published as intended to have been spoken upon Cie Ea* question. The following is the passage literally : Independently of all the other considerations which I have had the honour of presenting to you (the Dcputica), there yet remains, in favour of the proscribed exiles, a particular argu mert,fusuided upon a fact with whickfe:cpcee are acquainted ; a ter-nide argument, the echo of which I dread in the Chamber, and on which,fcr the sake of Me Government, I think it my duty to be silent. I check myself. The dart, once discharged, will not return. I abstain from using, for the present, a weapon so tfangerosa, and nothing shall force me to employ it at a later period, unless invincible obstinacy, on the part of the Govern ment, shall compel me to dose in the fulfillment of my rigorous duty. I persuade myself tLe Ministry will duly appreciate my present silence.' " Such is the mysterious menage thrown out by M. Bignon. The Journals pronounce it beyond their penetration, and call upon the author to explain it. The Ministers have not dared, eltlizr In the Chamber or in their Journals, to demand ar expli cit stawrnent of the accusation with which they are threatened. a is stated that a Membe: of :he Chamber has intimated to M. Pignon his intention or cziHng publicly for an explanation of what he meant, in 'his place as a Deputy. M. d'Argensdn also thrcatzns a disclo, , ure in his printed speech. lie has in his pos session a sufpleincntaty pros:rlption list, drawn up and duly signed by the French 'Minister, under the influence of, and in concert with, foreign legations, but which was not enforced." We have this day received New York P. pens one Jay later than those of yesterday. mem THE COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER OF 15TII MAT' BRITISH CONSULATE orricr.. 4' Washington, May 10. • " In eonsequer.ee of the absence of Mr. James Patton, who has returned :o Er.gland on his private affairs, Mr. John Craw ford is appointed to act in the interim, and all matters of British shirs ar.d ethers having business with IL: V:et-Consulate, are recu:stcti to adOress the:r.selves to him as-cordiu,Ay.
