This morning Consols opened at 78t, fell to 78, then gradually rose to 783. This advance is principally attributed to tbegreat quantity of French stock that has been disposed of since it has been offi- 1 tinny announced that the Army of Occupation ' , is to quit the French territory. The principal part of the Stock has been invested in the British Funds, consequently there is a *teat indult of money. Most of the purchases have been made by Brokers con elected with respectable Foreign Houses ; and, as the scarcity of Stock continues, a further rise is antici pated by the monied interest.-.-The Commissioners gave 771 for Reduced, and were generally served by the Jobbers. The Paris Papers of Monday arrived this morn ins, and along with them the numbers of the Gazette . de Franre and Journal de Paris, which were wanting yesterday. The proceedings of the Emperor.of ItusstA and King of PRUSSIA, since their arrival at the head quarters of the Army of Occupation, are fully detailed it: *the following interesting letters from Valenciennes : " VALENCIENNES, OCTOBER 22. " The King of Paussin arrived here last night at five o'clock, and the Emperor of Rossm at half-past six. The Duke of WELLtstcrott . had prepared a sumptuous repast for their MAJZSTIES,.at the Chinese Pavilion, .on the Place Vane; but the august travel lers' were too fatigued to partake of it. IZeither were theirl i VlAsswrus present at the Theatre in the evening. Oti'the arrival of the Sovereigns, the cannon on .1- the illimparta were fired, and in the evening the city was illuminated. K It appears that immediately after the departure .of the Sovereigns, the posts will be delivered up to a • the National Guard of Valenciennes. It has never '`:• yet beep in service, and cannot commence tinder cir . cunistances more solemn and imposing. " Their Majesties will depart on the 24th for Maubeuge. " At ten o'clock this morning the Emperor of Russia and King og . PausslA, each mounted in a calash, repaired to the Cusp of Pulsars, accompa nied by the Duke of WELLINGTON and-a great num ber of Generals and Superior Officers, and reviewed the Russian, Englids, and Prussian forces. Their Majesties expressed the Itigh:st satisfaction at the discipline these troops had so long observed, and at the excellent appearance which they presented. " Almost the whole of the population of Valen ciennes thronged to witness this beautiful coup-d'-cril arid last review. At four o'clock the Sovereigns re= turned into the city ; they received some visits ; and at six o'clock repaired to the Chinese Pavilion, on the Place Verte, where the Duke of WELLINGTON had invited them to a sumptuous dinner. His Grace had prepared on the Place a magnificent tent, which their Majesties had to traverse before they arrived at the Banqueting Hall. This tent was adorned with armorial trophies ; and the colours of all nations were seen intermixed—an emblem of universal peace, which produced the most agreeable sensation. After the dinner the Emperor of Russia, who is still a little indisposed, retired to the hotel which his MA rxarr occupies, and the King of PRUSSIA, accom paaied by the Prisms ROIAL, went to the Theatre. After the Play, a ball was given by the City to the Sovereigns, who attended it for about an hour, and spoke in the handsomest terms to the Gentlemen who did the honours of the night. The most wealthy and beautiful of the Ladies of Valenciennes, enhanced the eclgt of the ball by the splendour of their dresses, and the illustrious strangers appeared as satisfied with the reception they experienced, as the City was with enjoying their presence within its walls." " VALENCIENNES, OCTOBER 24. " Yesterday, at seven o'clock in the morning, the Emperor of RusstA called upon the King of Pans- CIA, and the two Monarchs proceeded in the Empe ror's calash to Derain. On arriving there they alighted and mounted en horseback, as did also the Duke of WELLINGTON. The three illustrious personages then placed themselves at the head of their respective corps, and went through a sham fight, which lasted from eight in the morning till four o'clock. The Russians were victorious. The execution of these ma nceavres was favoured by the finest weather, but un fortur.ately some individuals were wounded; an Eng lishman, among others, was horribly mutilated. " At five o'clock the Sovereigns returned to Va lenciennes, and gave several audiences; after which they dined, as on the day before, at the Chinese Pa vilion, on the Place Verte. In the evening the Em. peror of Russia gave audience to the Marquis d'Au- TICRAMP and General DessoLze, and conversed with them a long time. The King of Panama visited the Theatre, which was adorned with much taste, and eahibitcd at the door of the =taw* the following Inscription, which may be regarded as a wish realized: Conconifee Gentiunt.' " After the Play the Duke of WittiNcrow gave a Ball to the City, in return for that which they had given on the day preceding. The Sovereigns ho ,noured it with their presence, and did not retire till two in the morning. To-day they are to repair to Maubeuge, but it is not yet known at what hour." The news from Paris presents little deserving of observation. -The Chamber of Commerce is said to have appointed, at one of its late Sittings, a Com mittee to prepare a Memoir to the two Chambers, so liciting that Paris may be made an entrepot for Colo nial Cybele French frigate, which has been for more than two years on an exploratory voyage to the Indian Seas, arrived at Brest on the 19th.— Baron Picot de In Peyrouse, well known to the lovers of botany by his Flora of the Pyrennees, and Secre tary of the Academy of Sciences at Toulouse, died on the 17th instant, at the advanced age of 74. We have received this forenoon Papers from Air la-Chapelle to the 23d, and from Brussels to the 25th instant. AIX-LA-CIIAPF.LLE, OCTOBER 22. Messrs. Baring, La Bouchere, and the principal Bankers who were here, have left us for some days. Prussia, not thinking its cla:m for 50,000,000 of francs sufficiently secured by the signatures of the' houses of Hepe and Baring, had desired, as a further security, the signatures of a certain number of the Bankers of Berlin ; but these two houses have pre ferred discounting the 50,000,000 at the sate of Five per Cent. To perpetuate the memory of the Congress of the Sovereigns, the ancient names of the streets in which the houses occupied by the-Allied Monarchs are situated have been changed, and are to be henceforth called Alexander-street, Francis street, and Frederick William-street. The absence of their Majesties the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia Will be about twelve days or a fortnight at the most. Mean-time the Con ferences between the Ministers continue, and are still involved in the same mystery. BRUSSELS, OCTOBER 44. Their Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Tour and Taxis arrived here yesterday from Aix-la-Cha pelle ; also Madame la Marechale Soult, Duchess of Dalmatia, on her way from Aix-la-Chapelle to Paris. It is understood that a distinguished partizan of the Spanish American Patriots, .who has passed some months in the different parts of the United Kingdom, has been eminently successful, notwithstanding former disappointments, in procuring volunteers to cross the Atlanti: under his orders. He hit already obtained the promises of one thousand five hundred indivi duals, of whom about one thousand, it is said, will proceed in a few days, in four transports, from the River—the rest will be shipped at Greenock, and from the North of Ireland. The Agent alluded to ha: char tered for this service ten vessels, half of tl)e freight of which has been paid to the owners in advance. A considerable accession of volunteers is expected from the Continent ; so that before the close of the ra-r, the European force destined to act under him, is ex pected to amount to not less than three thousand men. The different vessels will, it is supposed, ren dezvous at Old Providence, off the Mosquito shore, where Commodore ALAN has already made a lodg ment ; and thence, the Leader of the expedition will direct his future movements, according to circum stances, so as either to oper. a direct communication with the Independents in the interior of New Gra nada, or to produce an important diversion in their favour, by landing on the Isthmus of Darien. It is by some conjectured, that his ultimate views are not unconnected with the intended operations of Lord COCHRA NE in the Paeific, It is no longer a secret that his Lordship has proceeded to take the command I I of the Independent naval force at Valparaiso, and it cannot be doubted, that successful attacks upon the wealthy Spanish Settlements to the northward of that port, are contemplated by that enterprizing Officer. Hence, it is not unlikely that a part of the troops, now on the eve of sailing, may be destined to pene trate across the Isthmus, and to be employed by his Lordship as a corps of debarkation. According to letters from Cadiz, to the 7th inst. and from Madrid to the 15th, advices had been received from Vera Cruz, to the SOth of July, representing the whole kingdom of Mexico to be then hr a tranquil state ; but admitting that there seemed to be a disposition to revolution. Several millions of specie had been deposited at Vera Cruz, and only waited vessels of war to convey it to Cadiz. The Insurgent privateers had left the neighbourhood of the port of Havannah, but they were not far distant, and the object seemed to be to entice out richly laden Spanish vessels.— No news had been received at Cadiz at the date of the last letters, of the rich convoy frern Havannab, which sailed so long ago ; great apprehensions are entertained that it has fallen into the hands of the privateers, under the Patriot flag. The pregnancy of the Duchess of CLARINCE has been officially announced to the Plume RZOZNT. The Countess of Livsaroos., we are concerned to state, is indisposed at Walmer Castle. The Fail of ROMNZY has resigned the situation of Chairman of the Western Division of Kent. The Duke and Duchess of Monvaesa, and the Ladies Gnaws, arrived yesterday at the mansion of his Grace, in Grosvenor-square, from their seat in Scotland. THE QUEEN. " Kew, Wednesday Night. I " No perceptible change for the better has taken place in the health of the Qualm, although she has now passed a great part of each of the five last nights in a state of apparent repose. It becomes, therefore, every day more probable, that the next paroxysm will be attended with alarming effects. Indeed, her MAJESTY is so much enfeebled, by the protraction of violent suffering, that it can scarcely be hoped she will be able to endure another, even slight, attack. " This day, another attempt was made to give the Royal sufferer some little change of air and objects, by removing her from her chamber to her boudoir, adjoining ; and, by slow degrees, and with the greatest care, the removal was at length accomplished, with out exciting any materially painful sensation. " The Duke of YORK visited the PRINCESSES to day, and, during his stay, accompanied them in their rural excursion through the grounds. His Royal Highness remained nearly two hours at the Palace, and then returned to his house, in the Stable-yard. " The PRINCE REGENT arrived about half-past five o'clock, this evening ; and Sir PRANCIs NIILIMAN im mediately waited upon his Royul Highness with the evening medical report on the state of his august pa rent. The Pitisce afterwards spent some time with his Ronal Sisters, and returned to town about nine. " Sir HENRY HALTORD left the Palace to-day, at noon, for Windsor Castle, to attend her Royal Iligh ness the Princess SOPHIA ; but he was expected back in the course of to-night." The folios% ing Bulletin was issued this day : " Kew Palace, Occobet 29. " The QUF.FN has passed another gOod ; it has not had, however, any material influence upon her NIAJIIIITY'S dirxasa (Signed) " H. HALFURD." MANCHESTER, OCTOBER 27. PRIVATE LETTER. The Cotton Market was more brisk to-day than for several weeks past, and several extensive sales were effected ; but I cannot quote any amendment in the prices ; this, however, is wholly attributable to the large importations : the quantity recently impor ted from the Brazils is unusually large. The ac counts from both South and North America, repre• sent the crops of the past season as greater wan, they have ever been within the memory of the oldest Planter. We expect more business doing to-mor row, as Wednesday is now become the chief market day here for Cotton, as the dealers and' others inte rested in the trade have then an opportunity of lco - owiag the result of the preceding day's sales at I Liverpool. A^other division of the SJth Infantry, and a small detachment of the 6th Carabineers, marched in•. here to-day. It is reported that the whole of the 80th will assemble in this town, previous to the regiment's undergoing the intended approaching reduction.-- They are a very fine body of men ; extremely healthy and clean in their apppearance and not a man in them but what is fit for active and immediate ser vice : there are few, If any, among them, who wish for their discharge ; they prefer continuing as they are, to the precarious chance of finding employment in the respective trades to which they were brought up, previous to entering the Army. The extensive reduction on the eve of taking place, though desirable in a national point of view, on the score of economy, will, nevertheless, be attended with its evils and dis advantages, by letting hiose so many thousands in search of employment, at a time when nearly every trade is overstocked with hands. The trials of the twenty-four Cotton Spinners (ar rested some time since, and confined in the New- Bailey Prison at this plhce) charged with a coaspi ra*, in attempting to raise their wages, are expected to commence !I Thursday or Friday. Messrs. ScA a- LETT, WILLIAM s, and another eminent Barrister, have, it is said, been engaged in their behalf. Mr. Cnos , :, it is understood, will head the legal phalanx that is to be arrayed against them. The above trials will probably be followed by those of the other men, who are now confined in Lancaster Castle. Those taken up at Stockport, and the vicinity, are confined in Chester Castle, and will not be tried until April next. The subscription in behalf of Drummond, Baggu ley, and Johnson, and . the other persons taken up on charges of sedition, goes on, as might be. expected, but slowly, and has not yet reached a sufficient amount to enable them to procure bail ;—and they will, therefore, probably remain in prison till the ver dict of a Jury has decided on their case. The fact is, the Reformers, as they call themselves, in this quar ter, are wretchedly poor, and unable to assist each other in pecuniary matters. 1 Lord ELLEICHOPOUGH, we are sorry to learn, was not so well yesterday, as he has been for several pre ceding days. In the Court of King's Berch yesterday their Lord ships were occupied nearly the whole of the day in heating arguments in the case of Twirl Ns v.WILLAn. The Defendant, being in possession of certain pre mises, which the Plaintiff wanted for his own use, the latter, without giving the notice ordinarily afford ed to tenants, sought to eject him, summarily, on the ground that he (the Plaintiff) being heir at-law to the lessor of the premises, h a d a ri g ht so to proceed. The Court held, that the heir-at- aw of the lessor could not assume a . pater right than the landlord. The situation in which be then stood did not ab solve him from the necessity of giving the usual notice—and, therefore, they were of opinion, that the nolunie originally attached to this case should be sustained.
