Notwithstanding the unfavourable news, by the French Papers, from Portugal, and the sailing of two ships of war, with sealed orders, from Portsmouth, the Consol market maintains its ground. Consols, which left off on Saturday at 841 sellers, opened this morning at 84 buyers; but soon after turned sellers, and were done at 83/ to 84, and Reduced may be quoted at 82i to I—a good deal has been done at 84; since which little business is doing. A number of suppositions are afloat in regard to the above vessels sailing; report says, that three .or four English Regiments are to proceed to Portugal. Consols have just been done at 114 g for the Account.—The chief speculation in the Foreign market this morn ing,!is in Chillan 'Bond% which have considet'ably improved, owing, ft is said, to accounts having been received, that she Chilian squa dron has joined that of Buen .s Ayres. Current prices: Old Spanish 14 4, Mexicans 701 1, Colombian 401, Chilian 43, Peruvian 32 34, Portuguese 741 751, Russian 874, Greek 181 19. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. Consols, which were in the earlier part of the morning at 831 for the Account, may now be quoted At 841 for the Account, and Reduced at 821 i, with little doing at present. Upon the whole, the fluctuation has not been more than 1 per Cent. and the market appears steady. The Express from Paris has brought the 3 per Cent. Rentes at 99f. 60c. and the 3 per Cents. 691. 45e. ex-div. By the private letters the 3 per Cents. left off at 69f. 10e. ex-div. We have no political information except the affairs of Portugal. Ctdllan Bonds were the spirit of the Foreign Market this morning from 39i they reached 49, a rise of near 10 per cent, owing to a report of • the Chilian Dividend baying arrived, since which the report is contradicted, and they have again fallen to 44.

The former contain only •ague reports on the subject of Portugal, which the latter, under the head of 4 6 lies of the day," formally contradicts. There is nothing else in these Papers worthy of no tice; whilst, from the tone of the Etoile, and steadiness of the French Funds, we may venture to say, that the affairs of Portugal are not likely to disturb the tran quillity of any part of Europe: The earlier French Papers afford Ito additional intel ligence from Spain or Portugal. There is an article from Madrid in the Motatetsr, but it is of an old date, and only speaks of the auempts of the Portuguese Refugees as scents to come, and not as past occurrences. It is said in this article that besides the two divirisos which were to enter Portugal through the province of Taisits.Mootes, there was a third collecting in Andalusia, to invade Algarve a second time, as soon as the Constitutional troops should have marched in a different direction. By the Buenos Ayres Mail, we have received the Mensagero Argenlino, to the 231 September inclusive, announcing the arrival of Lord Ponsonby, on the 14th September, at Buenos Ayres, as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, from his Britannic Majesty to the Argentine Republic. His Lordship was conveyed to Buenos Ayres in his Majesty's ship Ranger, corn. manded by Lord John Thynne, and was received bosh on his landing and on the presentation of his credentials, with every demonstration of respect by the President and Members of the Government. The following are the details, including the speech of his Lordship, and the answer of the President on the latter occasion:: BUENOS AYRES, &maims P2—(OrriclAL). The prent state of the war requiring the increase of all the forces, both the troops of the line and the mi litia, the Government decrees that the companies of the militia regiments shall be increased front seventy to a hundred men, and the Commanders are to proceed to enlist that number in their respective districts. (Signed) RIVADAVIA. _ - 156.—YesterdAy evening the English corvette the Sanger. Captain Lord Thy nne, arrived here horn Monte Video, having on board Lord Ponsonby, Mi. Scott, his Secretary, and nine servants. 19(11:—Lord P. nsonby, British Ambassador to thi , Republic, was publicly received to-day by his Excel leacy - the,P4ciitient. st.—..oa the 1.90, as we have mentioned in our last Number s the Right Nish Lord Ponsonby was received by the President as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister' Plenipotentiary to this Republic. His Eicellency having bten brought to the Palace of, the Government with much ceremony; was received by the President, accompanied by the Ministers, the Diplo matic Body, all the General and Superior Officers, the Chiefs of the Departments of the Administration, the Deputies of the Congress for each Province, and many repectable citizens. His Lordship having taken his seat, made the following Speerh in English: " I am commissioned to deliver inio the hands of your Excellency a letter from his Majesty the King of Great Britain, appointing me his Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary. " I am highly flattered by the honour which has been conferred on me by choosing me to bring this additional evidence of the sentiments of esteem and friendship which animate my Sovereign in favour of the Republic of the United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata, and I shall constantly endeavour to execute the im portant mission which has been confided to me in such a manner as to merit the good will of this Government, and to promote the friendly relations which happily ex• ist between the two parties." To this speech the President replied in French, ex pressing the facts which guarantee the particular affec tion with which the Argentine Republic regards the United Kingdom of Great Britain for the recogni. tion of our independence, setting itself above the re serve which the other European nations have observed in this respect, and that it was with 'peat satisfaction he saw this noble sentiment still confirmed, since his Bri tannic Majesty had chosen to represent him to the Ar gentine Republic, a person so distinguished by his rank and personal merit. That the President for his part, and in the name of all the Members of the Republic, took this occasion to express to his Lordship, the parti cular esteem that was due to him, as well as to his Majesty George IV. and the British Nation. His Lordship was then re•conduucted to his Hotel, with the same ceremony as he had been brought to the Palace of the Government. 21.—The last accounts from the Banda Oriental are satisfactory, and give reason to hope that the distur bances will have a speedy and happy termination s Bernahe Rivera having been arrested, after all means that prudence could dictate had been employed to bring him to reason. 23.—The vessels which conveyed 700 men to the Banda Oriental have returned without accident, to the great di'grace of the enemy's squadron, which was 1 in sight. The brave Orientals who had been seduced by some unworthy sons of this land of liberty, an•i mosed by an indiscreet zeal to take steps fatal to their own interest, as soon as they discovered that a shameful treason was the real object of their chiefs, who were animated by a sordid hope of vile interest, have returned to their duty and itined their brethren, to combat with them for liberty. Since Ribera and Cabellere_were taken, all the other officers have been pardoned and incorporated with the army. L Extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres, Sept. 25: " Lord B. PONSONST arrived on the 151 h September, in his Majesty's ship Ranger, and was presented to the President on the 19th Sept. The affair was managed with considerable splendour, although his mission to Rio Janeiro is said to be without effect. The Emperor of Brazil is fully bent upon continuing the war.— In the meantime the blockading continues; troops are continually passing from this to the Banda Oriental. A few months will produce important events—active military operations are about to continue. A division of from 6 to 8,000 Buenos Ayrean troops, under General ALAVER, are destined to enter the Brazilian territory of Rio Grande, while another division, under General SOLER, will form the siege of Monte Video on the land side. Admiral BROWN left us on the 14th of August, to proceed overland to Patagonia, to take the command of three vessels of war, expected from Chili. The Buenos squadron is anchored in the Inner Road—the crew ex cellent, neatly all English, but the Officers contemptible. Hamburgh Papers to the sth were received this morning. The following are extracts: ST. PETERSBUROH. Noviwits it. The St. Pdersbure Gazette says, "Accounts from teorgia of the 26th of October afford no important in. relligence. The Schah of Persia .bas gone from Agar to Tauris, and left the troops he had with him at the disposal of Abbas Miran. The latter, notwithstanding the difficulty of finding provisions in Karabasch, has not withdrawn from the Arazes, for fear that General' Paskewitsch might employ his troops against the Per. I sians who still remain in Schirwan, under Shah Aly -Mirza. General Yermoloff, with the detachment that he has assembled, has proceeded from Kaketia to Tschari. and intended to cross the river Alazan on the 29. h of October." The Journal of St. Pelersburgh of this day gives the following farther accounts from Georgia, of the 31st of October:—" The Persians have evacuated the pro• vince of Schirwan, and Major General Von Krabbe, who was at Kuba, has already advanced to• Staraja Schamakba ; Mustapha, formerly Khan of Schirwan, had here received orders horn the Schah to send Schaksadi Schekali Mira back to Persia, to keep the Persian infantry with him, and to remain himself in Schirwan ; but as soon as Mustapha learnt that Gen. Krabbe was advancing to Staraja Scharnakba, he hastened to cross the Kor at Dschajaaak, endeavouring, however, to get the inhabitants of the country, especially the Normades, to accompany him in his flight. They, however, being informed of his intention, had dis' persed. The few whom he compelled to follow im were soon set at liberty by Mustapha Khao's brother, Gaschim Khan, who, with the other chief men of the count! y, was with General Krabbe, and who, at the head of the cavalry of Schirwan, pursued Mustapha • 'to Dasthaviat. The enemy fled in such conrusiob, that they left behind untouched the • magazines of provisions found in the villageiof lAcki and Nuwaga. Accounts [ from Persia say, that the Scheh on his interview with Abbas Miiza at Agar, bitterly reproached him, and threatened to declare him deprived of his right of silo cession to the throne, and to have his eyes put out ; hut that yielding to the intreaties and assurances of his son, lie had consented to give him fresh troops. Having received these reinforcements, Abbas Mirza has pitched his camp near a place called Maksizlou (Makrisla), a few wersts from the Bridge of Khudaperim, and spread a report that he was going to repass the Al axes. Should he do this, be will meet with the corps of General Paskewitsch, which is between the Arazes and the Akh-Uglan, on the little river Tscheraken. The St. Petersburgh Gazette says, that Count Nesiel rode, on his return to the capital, has, by his Majesty's command, resumed the direction of ail the branches of his department. We have also received Dutch Papers to the 9th, from which we quote as follows : HAARLEM, Dicinunta 6. Accounts from Zivolle, of the 4th inst. state, that the sickness had abated in the province of Overyssel in the course of last week, and the number of deaths had decreased. Bth.—The report of the Board of Health, appointed by the Minister of the Interior to investigate the origin and nature of the disease, declares the opinion of the Committee to be, that the disorder is not contagious, that it is not communicated from the sick to the healthy, but that it arose from general causes, among the prin cipal of which they reckon the inundations, followed by the great heat ; the exhalations arising from the ►tagnant waters, the burying of the dead in the churches and towns, poverty, kc. Accounts from Madrid state, that a great number of arrests had taken place in that capital, and that the Clergy are becoming military men, they enlist recruits, and are purchasing gunpowder. Dispatches have been received at the Foreign Office, and the Admiralty, from Lisbon, from Sir WILLIAM A'Covar and Vice-Admiral Lord Auaraus BiALIGLISE, brought by his Majesty's brig Lyra, which sailed from the Tagus at day-light on the 27th ult. Their contents have not transpired, but their arrival has been followed by various reports. Among others, it is said, that the Marquis Ds Cwaves had invaded Portugal with 3,000 rebels, who had advanced twenty miles into the country, and expected to be joined by other deserters. Another report says, that a disposition to favour Don Mauer., begina to exhibit itself in Lisbon, and a third asserts, that our Government has taken up tr..nsports to convey troops to Portugal. These should, however, be received as unauthenticated rumours. THE ITALIAN OPERA. La Vestals was repeated on Saturday night, and with a marked improvement in its effect. Comm was in better voice, and Ma dame BIAGIOLI being recovered from her illness, displayed talents which must prove extremely useful to the establishment. Madame CARABORI again sang and acted very charmingly. In the-procession the horses did not appear, and their parts were quite as well acted by certain biped performers. The Opera un doubtedly produced a better effect than upon its first presentation. and will, we have no doubt, improve as long as it is played. The House was full. CHINESE LADIES Hating been favoured witla an interview previous to the room being opened to-day, we feel great pleasure in calling the attention of the Public to the Chinese Ladies, at 94, Pall-Mall. The grace ful manners of these females, which evidently bespeak them of the class to which they are tepresented as belonging, together with the richness and elegance of their costume, give an impression of re finement , which adds much to the general interest excited by some of the mare striking of their national peculiarities. The interest was farther heightened by the youngest of the Ladies singing one of their national songs or ballads to a simple plaintive air, accom panying herself with an instrument resembling the guitar. The room is fitted up so as to give a complete idea of the furniturt and internal decorations of the Chinese, among which are specimens of the productions of some of their most celebrated living artists. On the whole we feel persuaded that the public curiosity will be at once strongly excited mod as amply gratified by the opportunity af forded of becoming acquainted, personally, with many of the cha racteristic features of that extraordinary people. THE ARMY. Major Ott.n of the 97th Regiment, is about to retire from the Four Home Service Companies; consequently, Major AL AAA zz H. Perrisost will assume the command of the Depot, immediately on his arrival from Scotland. Lieutenant MAXWKLL, of the 98th Reghneut, is appointed to succeed Lieutenant KINIIISVILY, of the 3d Foot, as Superintending Officer of the Recruiting Department in Cork. Lieutenant SCOTT it appointed Adjutant of the Depot of the 19th Regiment, now quartered in Cove.

THE KING: 1 1 A Correspondent of The Scotsman, who was near the KING on his visit to Drury-lane the week before lass, says—" Considerable anxiety had been excited with respect to tie state of his (the Kitgo'a) health, in con .' sequence of the representations made of his apprir rat debility, rind the evident niaoks of indisposition betrayed by him in the Honse of Lords, on periing the New Parliament. A more complete refutation could rot have been gisrmi, than by his apraranceorf Et iday, an d the evening befOre. lie seemed net only to be in pet, fect health, but in excellent spirits, anti durii,g the I . ti . lot mance of Rule Britannia, in particular, joined t zs is his usual custom, in the chorus, with a ti•naness t e tone very little chdractetistic of the lungs of an inv,d,o : It is impossible to conceive a more favoJrab;e reception than he received, and it evidently produced a stru ng impression upon his feelings. It is now generally s i l o . that it was not only at the advice, but at the perso l; .,l re. i t,est, and that, too, a strongly urged one, of the Duke of Yorix, that his MaJaart took this oppattin;-, of appearing in public. His Royal Highness, in ca l , mon with many others, knows well that the ptyalin ' , of his Royal Brother was never higher than at this moment among all classes of his subjects i and is naturally anxious that he should enjoy its effects. It is, morrov e ,, unquestionably a matter of state policy that he shook occasionally thus descend, as it were, from his e:. alted itation, to mix in a degree with the amusements of his people, and identify himself thus, as it vs e e, with their feelings, were it only'to prevent, by oci. lar demonstration, the bad effects of reports cir:us listed either by ignorance or malevolence. S:e ng believing,' says a homely, but true adage; and J, , :to Bull, in particular, is very fond of submitting every thing that concerns him to the test of his own eyes._. Many reasons may be conceived why his MAJESTY should be averse to these public exhibitions at his time of life. With much that mnst be personallygraiiiying to him must also be mixed that which is repugnant to his feelings and to his habits : it is, however, one at the many taxes which Royalty must pay, and the dignity of his station must naturally involve a considerable sacrifice of personal convenience. I understand that the chief objection of his MAJESTY to going in public in this way is the state of his legs, which are too weak to bear much standing upon." WINDSOR, DECEMBER 10. His MAJESTY this morning attended Divine Service at the new Private Chapel. He was accompanied by his Suite, and the greater portion of the Royal Household attended. The Rev. Dr. Pr.aa- SON officiated. The continued unfavourable state of the weather has prevented his Maiassvfrom enjoying his usual airings since Thursdry last.
