STOCK ler'll A NC; 1., TWEIVR 1E1'1.0( K. The Consol market is rather stationary at present, and Consols opened at 87i to and at present they are 871, alternately buyers and sellers. Accounts from Hermanstadt, dated the 31st of July, report that Schumla was attacked about the 21st or 22d ult. and that the Turks made an obstitaate resistance; but was obliged to yield to the superiority of tke Russians, who rude themselves masters of Schumla. Government dispatches have reached town to day from Terceira, but their purport has not transpired. We have letters front Rio de Janeiro to the 19th of June. It was supposed, in consequence of the change of Ministry, peace would be signed between Brazil and Buenos Ayres. The French Mail this morning brings the following from Vt• enna : it is ac ired thlt our Official Gazette will publish to-morrow a list of promotions in the army. This information has already caused our funds to fall. They write from Marseilles 9th of August, that Generals Si • saint:it and lIVROTINOT had arrived there, and reviewed the Bth Regiment. These two Generals, with General MAISON, left at ten o'clock at night for Toulon. Five transports, wkich were in the Roads, had sailed fur Toulon, and the others will sail, the moment 'they are ready, for the same destination. . CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. The Consol market has continued the whole of the morning at 87} for the Account, alternately buyers and sellers, with little bu siness doing : at present they may be quoted at 871 to 4. In the F reign Market, there has been a considerable fluctuation In Brazil Stock ; in the early part of the morning they went down two per cent. to 59; but on the report of peace being made with Buenos Ayres, a reaction took place, and they rose again to 61.- 111exican Stock has also been fluctuating from 38 to 391 down again to 39 —ln other Foreign Securi - ies little or nothing doing. Two letters ar in town from Bin, dated the 18th June, stating that a report prevailed there that peace with Buenos Ayres had actually taken - place. Private letters received from the City of Mexico of the Ist July by the Packet, says that there was to be an extraordinary meeting of the Congress, to cake into consideration the Law of the Election, and the state of the Finances of the country; General Gurus* is expected to be chosen President. Some conimotions have taken place in the south, and great tear was entertained that some riots would take place in the capital daring the Election. PRICE OF srocKs AT TWO O'CLOCK.

By the German Papers of the 11th instant, which arrived last night, we have received accounts from Con stantinople to the 24th ult. which state the arrival in that city of •e , ious news from E zereum and Trebisond. Gen. PAsicewirscu, it appears, subsequent to the cap ture cf Kars was advancing rapidly towards Trebisond• where there are magazines cf copper to the amount of 80,000 piastres, which, from the &fenceless state of the city, cannot fail to fall into his hands. All the accounts received in the Turkish capital from the army at Schumla, announce that preparations were making to oppose the most vigotous resistance to the expected attack. An aitcle from Odessa, dated the 23d Ju!y, in the same Papers, inform us, on the authority of advices floss the Russian head quarters, that the Turkish army at Schumla consists of 120 or 130,000 men ; but that nevertheless, the Russians were firmly resolved to attack the place. We therefore expect soon to receive news of some decisive events in that tpi vi ter. - The Yrustiars &lies tsacette, woich reached us last last night, contains a more detailed and minute account of the advance of the Russian army towards Cunstan tinople horn the 15th to the Vld ult. of which we gave accnutit on Thursday. The State ; Paper which we laid before our readers on Saturday, drawn up by the Brazilian Pienipotentiaries against the usurpation t f Don Nlrourt, is a document highly creditable to those functionaries. It is at once temperate, dignified, and ceeclusire: temperate, in its mode of charactetisiog acts of-great political enormity ....dignified, in abstaining front all direct inculpation or censure of the Usurper; and conclusive, as well in iti historical data, as is its inferences from them, by which the cerrints delicti is estAbli•hed. The great queltibn now'rt issue (for great it may be in rekripies, to the abstract principle which it involves and the consequences that may ultimately Tr ait), is clearly defined in the too hypotheses of the fol lowing par graphs: se We know (and all Publicists bold the same lancuagt) that in the extinction of the direct and legitimate line of the dynasty regnant, and when lathe eollaterate Knee there appear as candidates for the vacant throne a number of pretenders, whose personal rights are doubtful, it is the dui y of the higher authorities of the State to decide the important national question; and the history of Portugal itself affords two examples of this kind, the one on she death of king Feaotehtfe, and the other ea the period wls.n the Portuguese nation, onwhfewing off the intolerable rare of Spain, exalted the August House of Braganza to the Throne. " But, an that question cannot be raised where the Succession to a Clown is the result of the right of primogeniture (and such is the case in that of Portugal, la respect to his Majesty the Emperor of Beams, the eldest son of his Majesty Don Jona VI. who, has, be sides, been recognized bulb by his own father and by all the Powers of &rope, as Prince Royal te . Pwriptgal, both before and since the partitive which was made of the Crown of Portugal, by a solemn Treaty between the two Sovereigns), the hereditary rights of oar August Master could *at Or made subject of challenge on the demise of the Yin, his father—nor were :key." Altair* " In mit ) * the Treaty of the :nth August, 1125, by which I the partition of the Crown was ramie, his Majesty Joan VT. pro. tnulgated a law and perpetual edict, dated Nov. 15,1825; by which be recognises his eldest son, the Emperor of Beam, in his capa city of Printy Royal of Portugal, and expressly revokes all laws, customs, rules, and decrees of Cortes, which might be contrary to the intent and meaning of that law. " For a new and unforeseen case a new law was necessary ; and as the authority of his Majesty King JOHN VI. was as competent and unlimited as that of his august rredecessor, Joni+ I V. the law of the 15th November, 18'25 (published in consequence t f a treaty, which is a sacred and inviolable compict, and a supreme law amongst all civilized nations), is become a fundamental law in re• spect of Bind and Portugal, and is the only one that Is to regu• late, as it has done, the succession to the Crows of Portugal, it the moment when that Throne became vacant." It there were any one who really needed to be con vinced, by argumerl, that Dnn PEDRO is the lawful Monarch of Portugal, and that his brother, with an idle parade of obsolete Constitutional forms, has consen . ed to exercise a usurped power, we should say, here is ar gument enough to remove honest doubts. But we are not so besotted as to suppo•e any human being, capable of exerting the humblest functions of intellect, could entertain such doubts : and they who profess to lsave done so are not accessible to argrimtnt, because they are the willing dupes of ttitir own treacherous designs: they will only be convinced by that irresistible reasoning which belongs to a cannon ball, or which becomes so persuasive within the stone walls of a elungeon. Up to the time of our going to press, neither the French Papers of Sa:urday, nor any of the German Mails, had been received. THE kitili, &c.

The Volage frigate was lying at Catlao, on the 30th of March last, when the earthquake, which is described to have taken place at seven in the mori;ing occurred. The -elfsati,in produced from its effect, on borrd, resembled that of a ship's beating on a sand-sank ; the sea, which was before calm, suddenly bobbled and boiled all around, and became very turbid with mud and sand, although they were anchored in 25 fathoms water. On looking to wards the shore, the buildings were scarcely discernible, the dust flying upwards in such immense density. The upper part of the Church and the Castle were however both seen to totter and fall. The motion of the earth, and evidently of the bottom of the sea, lasted nearly three mi nutes; scarcely a house in Lima,Callao,or Calm is, escaped injury, and about 100 persons were killed. In some places eight and ten contiguous horses are tht own down, and the damage is estimated at twelve millions of dol lars. The former considerable earthquake occurred 80 years since, and though four thousand persons perished at that time, the buildings were by no means so much injured.
