No cause is given as yet for this sudden decline of per Cent. since yesterday morning; but within this half hour, the market has rather taken a change, and has somewhat improved, and Consols may now be quoted at 80 to I). In the Foreign market, the same heaviness also prevails, and Mexicans have been done at 601; since which an improvement bas taken place, and may be quoted at 61i. L Shoo bathing is doing.

There is no doubt that a plan for reducing the whole of the military force of the Papal dominions was in contemplation ; it is said that it was to be diminished one half. eery person most regret that like many others, this plan, which would have essentially relieved the burdens of the people, and have allowed of the application of the sums thus spared, to the advantage of the country in.-general, has been defeated, by cir cuinstances over wirich the will of the Pope has no *coutroul. It k certain that Leo XII. depending on the spirituel power which the G.)vernment exercises over its subjects. and cotorinced of the truth cf the prindiple that when a Sovereign places confidence in his people, the latter, as a whole, is never ungrateful, was ready to make this reduction without any political uneasiness. But it is said that such urgent remonstrances against his measure were made ta.ltim from abroad,•that be w s as obliged to comply ; but he may have thought that the crimes of a few wretches, of the dregs of the people, might be suppressed by the ordinary proceed ings of the Criminal Courts, without a permanent mili- tar? force. It may be easily supposed that discontent is excited by the reforms of his Holiness, who wishes to remove the abuses that prey on the vitals of the State, especially in the Finance department (reverenda camera apostolica) ; but a late and striking example has shewn how unne• cessary these reforms are. Nine clerks in the Computis feria bad not shewn themselves in the office a single day in the whole monartifJuly, (in which it has hitherto been the fashion, on account of the hot weather, to keep holichry); but at the end of the month they came to re ceive their salary. Instead of this, however, they re ceived their discharge; and were told, that their absence having been considered as a voluntary resignation of their places, they had already beeq given to others. With respect to the provinces, his Holiness seems resolved to take a very rigorous measure, which is, there fore, extremely 'repugnant to his feelings, but is, unhap pily, the only one likely to prove efficacious: military tribunals are to be established there, which are to decide promptly, and without appeal, in cases of homicide and carbonarism that for R avenna is already appointed.— Under the super intendance of a Prelate, it will be chiefly directed by Col. Ruvinetto, of the gendarmerie, who has performed such services against the banditry of the Campagna and Maritime. Very severe penalties are again denounced against the bearing of arms. The dislike , entertained in Ravenna towards the Cardinal pe g ate seems not to have abated, though, as it is said, by a special ordinance, the Carbonari, condemned a year ago to the galleys or other punishments, have had half of the penalty remitted. It is said that a paper was posted up on his palace, with the words " Quod differtur sou offirtur." The following is a new instance of the noble and un suspicious disposition of his Holiness. Four of the Neapolitan exiles who have sought refuge at Rome, had a dispute with a Roman, who challenged them. They appeared at the place appointed, where they found instead of the Roman, half a dozen Gem d'Armes, who arrested them, and took them before the Police, by which they were condemned to leave Rome, because, as the Roman affirmed, they had spoken ill of the Go vernment. They appealed to the Pope, who pardoned them, merely imposing on them eight days' penance. —Unpleasant reports are received from the Kingdom of Naples. It is not only said that troops of banditti are forming on the frontiers, and towards the Abruzzi ; but the letters speak of great discontent, especially in Calabria and Puglia, where the new Excise system was very disagreeable to the people. We bear of a hortatory letter said to have been ad dressed by the Pope, at the instance of the French Court, to the province of Poston, and which is reported to bear the following title : u Ad Galles dissideites pre sertins Diocese Pictaviensis fui vsdgo Anticoncordalisite appellantun Exhorlatio." If we may believe persons who affirm that they have read this document, a kind of schism has broken out among the Clergy of the diocese of Vienne, to which Poitiers belongs, which consists in this, that a great part of them—viz. all the Priests who remained faithful to the Constitution of the Church existing before the Revolution, have withdrawn themselves from the two concordats of 1801 and 1817, and accordingly have renounced spiritual obedience to the Bishop. French Papers to the 18th inst. and the Etoik of Mon day, have been received. Accounts from St. Peters burgh to the end of August, make no further mention of the Persian invasion. The Constitutionnel gives a long letter from Coustantinope, dated August 12, which states that it is the intention of the SULTAN to make a levy of 300,000 men, to replace the immense numbers of Janissaries, wto can no longer be considered or trusted as soldiers of the State, even when they consent to serve in the new corps to which they are attached. The writer, however, draws a lamentable picture of the l finances of the empire, and contends that an addition of l 100,000 is the utmost that can be made to its military force. Meanwhile we are told that the SULTA N continues his plans and his exercises ; fences with a spear, fires a pistol in the dress, and with as much correctness as a Cossack, and turns the whole capital, lately the seat of slaughter and conflagration, “into a dancing room, where the Mufti amuses himself with singing *des, *ended as epitaphs upon Christianity, which he ,pur poses to regenerate at the point of the bayonet." The following is from a French Raper : M. MORlERitonsul General from England, set off on Thursday for London, and returned again on Saturday evening. We were well informed, in speaking of the discussions between our Commissioners and those of England. It appears that these discussions took place in consequence of an English Governer claiming a sum he bad advanced 30 years.ago to one of the Governors a our Colonies, for the public service, for which he had received a Pill of Exchange on the Treasury of France, and the Bill was accepted by the French Government •but by some neglect of the clerk it was mislaid, and the Minister now disgusts its validity. When further par ticulars come to our knowledge, we sill publish them. We are, as every public Journalist should be, ever ready to hold up to public observation and comment any arbitrary proceedings of Magistrates or other per sons in office, or any decisions of theirs which may ex- ceed their legal authoriiy, and trench upon the liberty of ,the subject. It is, however, equally our duty to set the public right in cases where Magistrates are er roneously supposed to have stretched their powts, it being very important that the administration of justice, in any par t of the country, should be free even from suspicion: With this view we copy tCe following from the Cinque Ports Herald of Sunday: „ s.syrsos TO BOATMIT Ala Orness.—On Tiesday. the 12tb, Thomas Marsh, Thomas &erre, John Lawes, William Basuto, and William Stevenson, all of Folkstone, were convicted (the three forme► for the naval service, and the two latter in the penalty of one hundred pounds each) before James Brockman and George Stringer, Esqs. Justices of the County, for having been on board the Susanna boat, to which some half ankers were seen to be attached while at sea, off Folkstone, on the 4th inst. and on the arrival of the boat in Folkstone harbour, she with the crew were seized by Lieutenant Brockensha, of the Coast Blockade at that plate, although the half ankers were not discovered. The three men fit for the Navy, were immediately after conviction, impressed, and sent on board the Ramillies in the Downs ; and the two convicted in the penalty, in default of payment were sent to Maidstone Gaol. And from another part of the same Pa per, the follow. ing observations, written with a creditable moderation, but which cannot fail to leave an impression that the smugglers in question have been illegally convicted by Magistrates for the county of Kent : A statement of the recent proceedings against five Folkston Boat. men has been received; the insertion of which, would subject us to air action for libel. We presume that conclusive evidence was adduced upon which the Magistrates decided on a conviction agreeably to the 'recent Act; and although so convicted the parties have the right of appeal to a higher power, and of representing the grievance which is alleged, by the County Magistrates deciding upon a case within the jurisdiction of the Folkstone Justices. Now, all doubts on this subject will be at once re moved by turning to the Act 6 Gao. IV. Cap.loB, Sec. 74; by which it it enacted, that all smuggling offences on the high seas, are to be deemed. to have been com mitted at the place where the offenders are taken ; and that offences committed in any city, borough, &c. shall be deemed to have been committed within the county in which such city, borough, &c. is situated, and that any Justices of such county shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine the same. Much useful information on this subject, to Magis- trates, Revenue Officers, and others, will be found in a small Epitome lately published, called The New Smug gling Prevention Act, with notes, referring to the •arious cases, decided on seizures, convictions, and penalties.

He assured his audience that lie would leave Scotland without the least particle of enmity to his old connexions ; enumerated the number of pulpits he bad preached in during his present visit (exclusive of is sermons in the fields); and expressed the gratifica tion he felt at being attended by such a number of auditors, and particularly at seeing the plumes of a number of gallant hussars waiving over the heads of the assembled multitude.

The following extract of a letter from Constantinople concurs with, and perhaps explains, the accounts received from the same quarter by the French Papers: Ave, 21. " I just hear that hostilities have begun between Russiasand Per. da, in the direction of Tiflis; and it is said that the Prince Abbas Mina has a secret Treaty with the former against his father." The prompt manner in which the Right Hon Secre tary of State attended to the application of the paro. chial authorities of Bethnal-green, respecting the riots in that neighbourhood, has afforded great gratification to the parishioners, and by the formidable appearance of the detachment of horse patrol that were parading the thoroughfares in the partth the whole of Monday, the gang was deterred from coming forth. Three fel lows were taken up on Monday night. One is sup posed to be of the gang that so inhumanly attacked and 'robbed Mr. Fuller, the.surgeon, at Cambridge-heath, for which three fellows are now awaiting their trials at the Old Bailey. Mr. PEEL has given authority to the Magistrates of Worship-street, to establish a horse patrol, under their own jurisdiction, and the expenses to be paid out of the funds of the office. A Royal Proclamation, somewhat similar to that which lately opened our Ports, was published on the Slst of August, in the Swedish State Gazette, reducing the Duties on the importation of Barley, Oats and Peas into that country, to one Crown 245. per ton for Bar ley, one crown for Oats, and two gowns fur the Lane quantity of Peas. FIRS AT EAST HADIPSTSAD.--FURTHIIIt PA SVC(/- ' Liam—Sunday afternoon, a fire bloke out in the m in sion of East Hampstead Park, near Oakingham, Berks, the seat of the mar q uis of Downshire, while his Lordship and the rest of the tuna y were at Church. The flames had got to such a height before the fire was discovered, as to threaten destruction to the entire building. El. fective assistance was however speedily obtained from the neighbourhood. A fire-engine was proceied from Oakinghath, and another was immediately dispatched from the Royal Military College, a distance of five miles, together with a detachment of tore 12th Light Dragoons, which promptly arrived, under Capt. CHA o 'mot. The fire began in the kitchen, in consequence of a foul chimney, and the flames had burst through the roof of one end, containing a range of servant; apartments, which, together with the kitchen, were reduced to a heap of ruins. By the judicious and in , defatigable exertions of those employed, ani the assist ance of the fire-engines, the mansion itself was provi dentially saved. During the conflagration, the family of his Lordship took shelter in Southall Park, in that vicinity, the seat of the Earl of Limerick. • A contemporary Paper inserts the following para. graph, with reference to some recent proceedings in Brighton EVILAMILDIKA KY Aerate —With rerence to the various paragraphs which have appeared in the public prints under this head, the Lady who is principally made the subject of attack is advised that she will best consult bee character and peace of mind, as weU as ensure a favourable consideration from the public, in the distressing situation in which she is placed, by forbearing to enter int, any counter. statements, and confining herself for the present to a denial of the charges brought against her, and a pledge to the public to make her accuser answerable in a Cot;rt of Justice for his infamous libels. She doubts not the public will readily sympathise with her on account of any notoriety which may once have attached to her name from cir cumstances to which any further allusions will be spared, and will as readily condemn the man who could avail hinutelf of a know ledge of these circumstances as a ground-work in inventing the n;oit unfounded accusations.
