s ired by inieir,u're, which, without amounting to war, will not implicate the pacific negotiation now pending with Brazil, and which, if not adopted, not only will Nentevideo be loss, but never afterwards regained by a ny peaceable negotiation. General Lecor occupies nothing, by right, on the Eastern territory, and, defacto, alone is he in possession of the country round. The fortress of Monte Video, on the eve of being evacuated by the Portuguese troops, places itself under the protection of this Government, and declares that it does not wish to belong to any other nation than the Provinces of the Union. In what can it .prejudice the result of the negociation pending with 'Brazil, if the Government of Buenos Ayres admits the protection of a town not in the possession of Brazil, and an which the latter had never had any right? Let this :Government protect the independence of that capital— not by a war, for which there is no need ; but hy pecu niary aid, .of which it stands in need, and by suitable .protests to foreign Chiefs. Let the force of the native; occupy the territory belonging to them, and which b about to be evacuated by the European Portuguese. Let Baron de Laguna hold the ground he occupies; and, without warfare, let us wait the result of the negocia tion pending ; for if the Imperialists should in the mean while invade Monte Video, it cannot then be doubtful 'who has been the infractor in the midst of a peaceable negoctation." CARACCAS, FEBRUARY 8. We enjoy throughout all the Republic the most per fect tranquillity, and it is incredible how much in •fluence our beneficent system has had in promoting the prosperity. and happiness of the people, notwithstanding the sacrifices which the struggle in which we are en gaged has, and still does require. The city has gained' so much by beiag occupied by the armies of the Re public, that it has changed the poverty in which tie Spaniards kept it for comparative opulence. The be haviour et the military is exemplary. I have lint seen one punished for :he eighteen months I have been here. The President, General Bolivar, has composed all the in- ternal differences among the Peruvians: and we expect instant news of great success in that country, .since, be sides the 6,000 Colombians, 8,000 Chiliant had set out for Peru. I hope that the ship Asia, and the two fri gates that were to sail from Cadiz, will arrive too late. SPAIN. PRIVATE colutEsroxbr:N.cg. MADRID. AIARou 1.2. This country is tranquil, at least there is not in Ma drid any report to the contrary. The Minister of Finance, to whose exertions Spain must finally owe its tranquil lity, is exerting himself in order to form regulations.for • the Sinking Fund of the present debt, 1,200,000,(X)0 reals N-12,000,0001. sterling. Ilia Decree of the 4th of Fe bruary aCommitteeol In vestigation for the debts of Spain 'was appointed, as also was a fund for their liquidation. The Spaniards are remarkable for excellent paper regu lations; but there are persons here who maintain that there never will be a good result from those two De crees. To-day a Decree was i,sned for annexing a fourth more to the amount of the sum granted for the previous Sinking Fund, making the whole 100,000,000 reals— or 1,000,0001. per annum—a mere trifle in comparison to the amount of the debt. That is but a prelude to a new loan of 8,000,0001. which the Minister has de clared necessary for the exigencies of the State. _ There does not appear to be the least inclination to admit the 'Bonds of the Cortes for any amount. I have been in. forrned that there are persOns here who arc using every effort to obtain the New Loan. There was another Decree issued this morning for allowing their ltlfipay to the Constitutional Officers who bad relinquished the - service of the Cortes prior to the Ist of OCtciber.. All those cf the rank of Captain, and above it, are to have half-pay; the subordinates only one•third.' THE EVENING STALL. LONDON. SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1824. THE FUNDS. STOCK EXCHANGE. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

T!lis forenoon w•e received the Moniteur and Etoile of Thursday, by Express, tog ther with a letter from our -Correspondent, which, however, contains no political rews. The Monitcur contains an account - of the pro• ceedings of the Chamber on the preceding day, which was almost entirely confined to. the nomination of the Members to the several Bureaux. In the official part there is an Ordonnance of the King, respecting French and Spanish prizes taken during the war. It is already known that a treaty had been entered int.) between France and Spain on this subject, by Ntiich, considering the prizes taken on both sides nearly eval, each Government undertook to indemnify its omit subjects. Intelligence is said to have been received at Paris, that ND had issued a Decree equivalent to a Thirtary amnesty, and had given the pledi2,e of the speedy publication of an amnesty embracing all classes. This Decree determines the situation of all those who have seiied in the Constitutional Armies as officers or soldiers, whether tliey voluntaiily abandoned their t - .!iiclards, were made prisoners of war in the field, or Were included in any of the numerous capitulations with ke French. A general pardon is extended tothem—a Pardo n for resitting foreigriaggression l—and no restric tions With respett to their place of abode are imposed , except that they shall not inhabit Madrid, or any of the places of Royal residence. But as they might be dan gerous to the State, if left free to 'Settle where they chose while deprived of every means of support, a hope is held out that they may be again recalled to active ser vice; and a pledge is given, that iil the Meantime all Officers, from the rank of Captain upwards, Shall receive the half of their former pay, and all subalterns two-thirds, Such is the arrangement formed with respect to the Constitutional troops—such are the promises and en gagements of the Government, to reconcile them to the existing order of things. The French Funds, in consequence of this Spanish news, and probably the arrival of Mr. BARING at Paris, rose to 1021'. 75c. towards the close of the Market on ' Wednesday.

STOCK EXCH . /11406, IZJARCII - 9.3, Five o'Clock. The market has been very active to-day, but a t umour of the reduction of the interest of the Five Per Cents. occasioned a rapid fall in the price of Stocks, and a re port of a new Loan upon advantageous terms after wards gave a favourable impulte to the mat ket, antLthe pike of Stocks in some degree recovered.

At half-past twelve, M. Chilhaud de laligaudie, the President by seniority, took the chair. Immediately a crowd of Deputies entered the Hall. In a few minutes the benches of the extreme right were filled; there was a rush towards them. The first bench is occupied by Messrs. Rit, Syr ieys, Marinhac de Gra noux. The right centre was filled at the same time— We remarked MM. Rave!, Crignon d'Au zouer, de Mar tignac. A little group of eight Deputies, under the conduct of M. de Bois Clereau, took their places in the lift centre." On the extremity of the first bench of this part of the Hall sat M. Devaux, member of the faction of the sixteen. A detachment from the right went to fix themselves on the first bench of the extreme left, where we per ceived MM. de Castelbajac, de Legardiere, de Bois Ves trand, de ltrjez, de Bouvill, and de Blangy. A few minutes after, M. Benjamin Constant arrived through the hall of the Conferences ; he went towards the left, and seemed surprised to find there the members whom we have named. N. Devaux asks him to place himself by his side ; M. Cbnstant declines, and takes his seat on the fourth bench of the extreme left. Several voices were heard pretty loudly to cry," We must thrust them back on. the mountain"--(il faut les refouler our lu montague). M. B. Constant went hastily to take a place by the side of M. de Tliiars. The only business done was the formation of Provi sional bureaux by lot.—Adjourned.—Etoik. PARIS, MARCH 25. The inhumation and removal of the mortal remains of the Duc d'Enghien to the new Chapel in the Castle of Vincennes, destined to receive them, will take place on Saturday morning, at ten o'clock. Frankfort Papers to the 21st inst. reached us this morning, from 'which we make the following extracts: FRANKFORT, MARCH 19. The Dinrio di Roma of the 6th Match makes no mention of the death of the Duchess of Lucca. This news, therefore, published in Paris journals of the 12th, after letters from Italy, is no more true than that of the death of (he Princess Cunegunda of Saxony, announced by the same papers, and of which the letters from Dres den of the 15th make no mention. MARSEILLES, MARCH 7. We have received mercantile letters from Salonichi, of the, latter end of January, according to which, the communication with that port was again quite free, and several French vessels had arrived there. Two of them were indeed strictly searched by the Greek cruisers near Molo, but were suffered to proceed on their voyage. Strict orders were given to all the Greek armed vessels, to refrain from every kind of violence, and even unfriendly conduct towards French and other European vessels. This order, issued by the Greek Ad miralty, is caused by the numerous complaints made to it, by which it was engaged in various embarrass. ments which it wishes to avoid for the future. It has been intimated to the privateers that no protec. Lion will be in any case afforded them, hut that they k% ill be left to their fate if they ate guilty of the slig htest violation of neutialiq towards Europ,:an vessels.

Some buildings they had mtde on the' east coast of Thessaly were of more consequences they distributed great quantities of arms and ammtmition' among the inhabitants, in w h om much reliance seems to be placed, in the offensive operations to be under taken against Thessaly in'the spring. These operations, however, will probably be deferred till Patras and Le• panto have fallen. Meantime the Greeks are making great preparations for a new campaign. A large body of Albanians .will join them against the Turks—the i hgreement, which first led to difficulties, beiniclosed. THE ARMY.

LADY STUAltrei BALL IN PARIS. FROM OCR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. PARIS, MARCH 2.l—Last night, the English Ambassador gave a most splendid fancy dress ball. There were upwards of three thousand persons present, including the Foreign Ambassadors, the French Ministers, and the elite of the French and English society at Paris. There were seen assetkhled in the same Hotel all the nations of the earth, persons of all religions, and of all shades of political feeling. Brahmins, Chinese, Pagans, Jcws, Musselnsens, and Christians, Royalists and Republicans, all forgot their dogmas and their systems, or rather all offered them as a holocaust at the shrines of harmony and pleasure. Even Sir SIDNEY Slims, Pre sident of the Knights Liberaters , of the Christian Slaves in Africa, cordially shook hands with an Algerine pirate—such was the magic influence of a little rose-coloured billet, issued in the name of Lady ELIZASZTII &MARI! To describe the varied magnificence of the dresses would be impassible, and to select a few would appear invi dious. to. others. The supper and wines comprised all that hospitality on the grandest scale, and the most exquisite taste could devise; the dancing continued till Aurora peeped from behind the Dime of the Invalids, and bade the gay throng depart. The statement in a Morning Paper, of Mr. LUsHING vox, of the Treasury, being appointed to the Government of Bom bay, is without foundation. it was last night reported that Mr. SCARLETT, the ce lebrated Barrister, died at York on Wednesday; but the York Caro ni& of Thursday does not mention the circumstance, nor had any intelligence of the event reached his house in Spring-gardens, or his Chambers in Lincoln's Inn, to-day at one o'clock. His MAJESTY yesterday took hi usual airing, and went to view the improvements and alterations in progress at the Royal Cottage. Earl BATHURST entertained 'a large party to dinner, yesterday, at his house In Great Stanhope-street, May-fair. The Earl of WICKLOW has purchased the mansion of the late Mr. DAVID Rrcaano,-in Upper Brook-street.

Lady Fe BUOHA It entertained a large party of fashion ables yesterday evening, at her knuse in St. James's-street. • • The Hon. Mrs. PHILIPS had an elegant assemblage yesterday, at her house in Hill-street, Berkeley-square. The RECORDER' Of LONDON and Mr. GURNEY are both seriously indisposed. The death of Sir THOMAS PLUM ER leaves to the no mination of Government the Mastership of the Rolls, the second dignity in the Court of Chancery. It is believed he will be succeeded in his high office by the present Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas; an arrangement which. will afford greater convenience than at present exists for his Lordship's attendance as Lord Deputy in the House of Peers. In this event Sir J. Curtsy will of course be raised to the vacant Chief Justiceship, and Mr. Wiernitakm. will become Attorney-General. It has been for sonic time understood that Mr. TINDAL, who evinced so much - legal talent on the late Quests's trial, would be made Solicitor-General on the first vacancy. As Lord Gireora's accurate acquaintance with the Law of Scotland renders him peculiarly fit to preside on Appeals from the decisions of the Scottish Courts, so his thorougit es knowledge of the law e r real property has long marked him out, all persons acquainted with Chancery eractice, as calculated to adorn the Equity Bench. Ili, Lordship's intellectual acuteness is great; his rise to the present elevation has been the result of steady, persevering talent ; and he is now as i•ernarkable fat unremitted exertion as he was when he first came to the Bab. it is remarked by the Journal des Debats, that in the tribune set apart for the Diplomatic Corps, at the Royal Sitting on Tuesday, all the foreign Ambassadors were assembled. A con trast is hinted, between the commencement of this Session and that of the last. It will be recollected that last year the English Ambas sador, Sir C. SruaaT, was not present to bear the declaration or war against Spain, which his Government had tried in vain to prevent. A Requisition has been signed by some Me:libels of the Common Council, requesting the Lone Maros to convene rt Meeting of that body, in order that they may favour the world with their opinion upon the Alien Act. As a•proof of the increase in the trade of this port, a cargo of brandy, from Charente, has this week been landed, a cir cumstance which has not occurred during the last fourteen years, barring sniuggled.—Sourharraproir Chronicle. Tuesday, an act of sacrilege and burglary was dis covered to have been committed in Cbilcomb Church, near Win chester. The losiret part of the glass, and the lead of a window which gibes light to, and is a small distance from the pulpit, was removed, the glass lying broken, and the lead rolled together on the ground. The .pulpit cushion was found in she church-yard, ripped up, with part of the feathers it contained scattered about by the wind. It appears that an unsuccessful attempt was made to burst open the church-door, which was lifted off its hinges. \b thing was taken out of the church besides the pulpit cushion. Wednesday, in the evening, as the Plicenia Coach from Notwich to 'London, was on the ro. d from Ixworth to Bury, it by some means came in contact' sebh the carriage of Actostral. Witson, who was returning to liedgrave ; and, from the sudlen jerk, the whole of the Mattis horses were liberated from the coach, which they left oir the road, and arrived at the Greyhound; Bury, (the Inn where the coach stops) about the usual time, so the .sto nishmeut of the innkeeper, Ore.

These reductions sere unanimously agreed to by the Meeting, and ate to take effect on the 31st inst. Among other articles on which the rates are to be liiiwered are Sugar, Cotton, Coffee, Cocoa, Oils, Ginger, all kinds of Wood, Spices of, all kinds, also Leather, Wine, Rice, &c. &c. In all these articles there is not only to be a reduction in the Ju inte roles, bnt aho in the charge tor wareluipse rent.—The tonnage rates of ships are also to be reduced. NAVAL lATELLItiENCE.
