It is now ascertained that there is no news from Constantinople; but the French funds have fallen 1 j per cent. in consequence of the Elections, and it Is thought the French Ministry will be obliged to go out. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. At an early hour this morning, it was ascertained that several Expresses had arrived from Paris, in consequeote of which, there .was a full house at the opehing of the market, and all parties being shy to make a price. Consols, which left oK yesterday at 854 4, at length opened at n5l j for the Account; but on its being ascer tained that the French Reotes came considerably lower—reported sof. 20c. after 'Change hours—a panic took place, and Consols re ceded to 844.,allpersoos imagibing that bad news had been re- I ceived from Constantinople, which was not the case, the French funds lowered in consequence of the Elections being unfavourable to the French Ministers. A private letter from Paris says, that in some of the Depart ments, out of 100 votes 60 are in the opposition ; but still the Mi nister thinks he will have a majority.

When he got on board the English Admiral's ship ) be there found theCapitanaßey,andTahir Pacha, who, hostilities being just terminated, were con ferring with the Englisir Admiral; ten or twelve of the 'Turkish men of war were still turning in the harbour. An Officer of the Admiral's ship, who advised him not to go for the present to Odessa, but rather to return to Trieste, told him, that in the battle 'of the day before, 50 men were killed on board the Admiral's ship; and he, Captain Newton, saw that that ship had suffered severely. The French Admiral's ship had also been mach injured. The Russian squadron had suffered the least-25 or 30 of the Turkish ships were blown up. With respect to the origin of the hostilities, the English Officer, in a few words, gave him the following account : After that Ibrahim Pacha, notwithstanding the con vention concluded on the 25th of last month, had left the harbour of Navarin at the beginning of this month, with the greater part of his Beet to proceed to Pares, the Admirals of the combined squadrons, after the re turn of the Turkish fleet to Navarin, had resolved to enter that harbour, in order, as he had heard, to be there able, secure from the stormy weather in the open sea, to observe the Ottoman fleet in the harbour itself, or to oblige it to return to Alex andria and Constantinople. The Turks opposed this, and fired on the ships as they entered, and thul ainated the battle, the results of which he now saw. As .• the weather began to grow boisterous while he (Capt. Newton) was on board the Admiral's ship, he returned ea board his own vessel, and immediately sailed to grante ; and having stopped there two days, during which time he heard nothing farther, he continued hist voyage to this city (Trieste)."—Algemeeias Zeitung,l November 14. coed to their itika into Wale 4.-....1.-- -:.L and shall not be detained till after the expiration of the 15 days, uuleu it appears dust after notification of the Order they have been guilty of plotedering,&c.This measure is abundautly justified by the excesses committed by the Greek Pirates; but we have , some doubt as to the means for giving effect to it. The Archipelago is so favourable to Pirates, the Greeks are such expert sailors, and their vessels are so admirably adapted for pursuit or escape, that it will be no era,' matter to abate the nuisance. It will be seen from the 'Court Circular, that Vise . Admiral Sir Jolts Goes was sent off ye.terday morning with dispatches from the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL to Sir EDWARD eODIHNOTON ; and that Sir Jous was accom panied by Captain CODRINOTON, Sir EDWARD'S .01. The dispatch of an Officer of such high rank would seem to intimate th tt farther operations are in cont. m plation. It is, we believe, a general notion that the acceptance of the office of Uoder Secretaty of State vacates a seat in Parliament. This, however, is not the easel the Under Secretary is appointed by the Chief Secretary, and not by the Crown ; and consequently does not in cur the liabilities of the statutes of Anne or of Geo. li. We believe that the offices also of Secretary of the Tieasury, and of Secretary of the Admiralty, do not compel the surrender of a seat in Parliament.

Yesterday the Lords of the Paivy Council assembled at the Chamber, Whitehall, to hear witnesses in support of the petition of several proprietors of plantations in Demerara and Serbice, against the recent orders issued by the Governments there to compel the manemiss;on of slaves. The Chamber was crowded with West India planters, who have formed themselves into a body to watch over their interests. Their sittings are held weekly during the sitting of Parliament. Mr. ADAM and Mr: HUMBERT appeared in support of the petition, and the Common SERGEANT and Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUEI tended on behalf of the local authorities of the colonies ' The Lords of the Council present were, the hoiden of the Duchy of Lancaster, the Judge Advocate, Sic Hunts ELLIOTT, Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH (his first AP ' tendance on the Privy Council since he was sworn in last week). and Mr. WILMOT HORTON. Mr. BELLO was in attendance as Clerk to the Council. There were three witnesses examined, Mr. Illstpsage Mr. Micas*, merchants trading to Demerara, and Mr. ALES. *DONALD, Secretary to the Committee of West India merchants, whose testimony was on behalf of the prayer of the petition. and to the effect that it would, under the present circeiiistances of the colonies , be impossible to carry these orders into execution. The! stated that the slaves would, in the event of obtaining their freedom, rather starve than work for their main tenance. One of these witnesses, in &flaw& to questions from Mr. Waseca Honeos, acknowledged, that dosing the last 20 years the slave population bad increased in civilisation, but not in industry, and gave, as his opiai" that manumitting the slaves at present would sot ha" the effect of increasing that spirit. Each of these wit nesses was ably cross examined by the Costasonlak °SANT, Mr. Hon Ton, and Sir JAIL'S MAcatanoses. Two other witnesses were heard before their Lord ships, whosa evidence went to prove that a considerable depreciation had taken place in the value of West India property since the determination of the Legislature was taken to put an end to slavery in the Colonies. Mr. Wit.mor Hoarox remarked on this, that it was strange, since Mr. Canning had declared in 1824 the intention of the Gosernment, not a single remonstiano ad been made to "Parliament on the subject.
