THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1821. THE FUNDS. The report of a reduction in the Interest of Money gains ground in the City, and the real Stockholder begins to be alarmed. Sales have been very heavy for the last two or three days, .and no other reason is assigned for the depression. An immense quantity of Stock was thrown upon the Market yesterday by some respectable Brokers, which depressed Consols fiom 711 i to 70%. Settling-day will be to-morrow week.

What will the hole and corner Addressers venture to say, now that the Counties are actually preparing and voting Addresses to the Throne and to Parlia ment? To be sure, the loyalty of the great body of the independent Proprietary of the kingdom is of a different stamp and value from that of the worship pers of the Kixo's Ministers: the one is sincere, ge nuine, and may be trusted; in the other is mere words—a tissue of unmeaning verbiage, which, in many instances, even the framers of the vouchers are ashamed to proclaim in the face of their fellow subjects, or to define, when they happcn to over-rate their own strength, and attempt to shew themselves in day-light. This blunder they have just committed in Derby shire. We announced,. a few days ago, that the Ultras, presuming on their influence there, had ven tured to call a Meeting of the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy. and Freeholders, to address the King at this important crisis, &c. Unfortunately for the Requi sitionists, the independent spirit of Derbyshire took the alarm, and a hand-bill was circulated, for the purpose of insuring a full attendance—not of mock Layalists, but—of Nobles and Gentlemen, whose loyalty is of the genuine stamp. The result was what could hardly have been anti cipated from the boldness of the Requisitionists; but 'such, surely, as might be expected from the inde- , pendence and staunch loyalty of any County in Eng land, expressing the public voice without fear or par tiality : for be it remembered, no attempt has yet been made, at any Public Meeting in England, to carry Ultra Addresses at the point of the bayonet.— The mock Loyal Address was not merely rejected with contempt; it was heard with disgust and uni versal hooting. The Amendment was moved by his Grace the Duke of Dsvoustuas, at the close of a speech, of which the sentiments and reasoning well became a Nobleman of rank and name so exalted, who, of all the British aristocracy, can best maintain a prescriptive :ivalship with the Rossau.s. The amended Address was carried by acclamation, en thusiastic, and all but unanimous, nor will those who sead it in our Journal of this day be surprised at the welcome given to such a document from any assem bly of free and loyal Englishmen. There is no shade - of ambiguity—there is no want of force or warmth in those expressions of loyalty to the KINGS person and family, with which the Address commences. The proceedings at the Inverness County Meeting, held on Thursday last, of which we have also given an outline in our columns this day, will likewise be tead with no small degree of interest—especially by those who know the degraded state of the Scotch franchise. It is, if possible, a more complete defeat to the Mock-Loyalists than even what they expe• rienced in Derbyshire; for the Requisitionists were actually compelled to come to a compromise with the independent portion of the Meeting, and not only to declare, that they did not, by the Address, mean to convey any approbation whatever of the conduct of his MAJESTY'S Ministers, but actually to agree to embody a declaration in the Address itself, disclaim. ing any knowledge of those other pretended causes of disaffection, blasphemous and seditious publica tions, and so forth !—a measure which actually nul lifies the object for which the Requisitionists called the Meeting. Will the Ultras attempt to shew themselves at the Wilts Meeting ? If they should be so bold, it is easy to anticipate their complete discomfiture. The fol lowing is a copy of the Requisition. It was signed by the Duke of Sous:tsar, the Marquis of LANs- DOWN, Lords CARNARVON, BOLINGBROKE, FOLKE STONE, ARUNDELL, HOLLAND, and 32 Gentlemen of the highest consideration in that great and opulent County ; and Mr. GODDARD, the High Sheriff, has appointed Wednesday next as the day of meeting: " We, the undersigned Freeholders of the County of Wilts, r e quest you will call a County Meeting, to consider the pro priety of declaring our unabated and unalterabk attachment to the Constitution and Government of this country, as by law established; of expressing our deep regret at the late unjusti fiable and unconstitutional proceedings instituted against the %seen, and of Petitioning both Houses of Parliament to take the most effectual steps for the removal of every obstacle to a s atisfactory and final arrangense,ut ; and to prevent a recurrence to useatures of t similar tendency, and the mica! of di.cussions equally mischievous to the public snort's and dangerous to the peace of the country.", . We have this morning received an aecoont of the loss cf . the Abeontt transport, bound to the Cape of Good Hope, with settlers. The following is an ex tract of a letter from the Agents to LLOYD . II, dated " Ltsamr, DIOCIXIIIII 30. " The Condessa da Ponte, which arrived on 20th instant from Bfaranharn, has brought 49 persons who escaped from the Abeona transport, bound to the Cape of Good Hope, which took fire, and was burnt on the 25th ult. in lot. 9. N. long. One hundred and twelve lives were lost. The Agent, Lieute nant Mellor, the Captain, Surgeon, 21 men, 16 boys, four women, arid five girls, got into three boats, and fortunately fell in with the Condessa da Ponte the morning after the fatal event.", The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived at a late hoar last night.—The KIND, on Saturday, received the .Marquis de BUNNAY, on his return from his embassy to Prussia. The Court of Assize continues to be occupied with the trial of the persons implicated in the disturbances of June last. Prince METTERNICH arrived at Vienna from Trap pan on the 26th ult. The Emperor FRANCIS was ex pected in that City on the 28th ult. and the Emperor ALEXANDER on the 29th. They were expected to proceed early in the present month to Laybach, to meet the King of NAPLES. The proceedings of the Swedish and Russian Com missioners, who were drawing a boundary line in Lapland, have been approved of by their respective Cotuts, and the signature of a definitive Treaty on the subject is speedily expected. French Five per Cents. SAturday, 80 fr. 15 c. The Moniteur gives the following article from The qficial Gazette of Lisbon, as containing the precise intelligence brought from the Brazils' by the Provi dencia :—" The dispatches brought by the Providen cia, announce, that his Most Faithful Majesty, in formed of the events at Oporto, and persuaded that they extended only to a few towns in the Province of Minho, had granted a general amnesty- ; and that he had even authorized the assembling of the Cortes convened by the late Regency, though their convo cation, without the participation of his Majesty, was, in some respects, illegal. His Majesty further de-, dares, that after the Cortes shall have terminated their labours, and submitted their propositions to his Royal sanction, the King, or one of his august sons, will repair to Portugal, upon acquiring, however, by ulterior advices, an assurance that the Royal dig nity can in no respect suffer from the measures taken by the late Regency." By the way of France, we have received letters from the Portuguese capital, dated the 19th ultimo, inclosiag the Returns of the Electors chosen for the City and District. These letters express the un bounded satisfaction felt by the People on the success of the Elections, the whole of the persons returned being distinguished not only for their talents and acquirements, but also for their public spirit and ad hesion to the new order of things. The polls had been conducted with the utmost order and regularity, and no other feeling seemed to prevail among the voters, than an anxious wish to make such a choice as would beret their country, and tend to consoli date the new system. The Paris Papers of Monday have also arrived, at a late hour this forenoon. The individuals under trial before the Courts of Assizes, for the disturbances occasioned in June last, by the alterations in the Election Law, are proceed ing with the production of witnesses in support of their defence. Among the witnesses examined on Saturday were MM. CAMILLE JOURDAN, CHAT/Vt. LIN, KERATRY, and MECHIN, Members of the Cham ber of Deputies. The Journal de Paris says, that "an Extraordinary Courier from Madrid passed through Bayonne on the Ist of January, and arrived in Paris on the sth, at six o'clock at night. A report spread that he had brought very important news. The letters from Ma drid, of the 28th, give reason to fear some troubles." The Constitulicitrxel affirms, on the contrary. that the Courier, who had alighted at the hotel of the English Embassy, a was not the bearer of any ex traordinary news. He quitted Madrid on the night of the 29th and 30th. The news had been received at Madrid of the departure of the King of NAPLICS; but the details of the event were not known." A letter from Vienna is quoted, which states, that as soon as intelligence was received there of the arrival of the KIN° of the Two Bictuss at Laybach, a Courier had been dispatched to Berlin, in the name of the two Emperors, to invite the King of Patosta to repair to Laybach. The following extract from the Ballinwie Morn ing Chronicle, and other passages which we could se lect from a file of Washington and Baltimore papers lately received, manifest the importance which the Republicans attached to the late momentous pro ceedings against the QUEEN : " France, with all her power, while all Europe was pros trate at ter feet, was unable to overthrow the English Monar c hy. This reminds us of a passage in the Play of Piearro— " Pizarro (addressing Elvin; scornfully says)—Thou art a woman ! " Eltion—A woman ! knowest thou that, and trembkst not ? thou whom neither the terrors of the element, nor the fury of the foe, went alit` to alarm ?-,Thou art lost ! a wassail has dr. creed thy fall I" • BRIGHTON, JANUARY 9., The KING took his usual walk on the Palace lawn. At two o'clock the Piincess AUGUSTA, attended by Lady MARY TAYLOR, took an airing to Lewes, and returned at four o'clock. General Sir WILLIAM and Lady JAN% HOUSTON, and General Nl , Ccoun, have the honour of being entertained at the Pavilion this 'evening. . NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Yesterday, a Court of Directors was held at the East India Mouse, when the ship Rose, Captain 111 , TaGoART ; and Princess Charlotte of Wales, Cap tain BIDEN, was altered from China to Bengal direct. LLOYD'S Books yesterday presented the novel spec tacle of not a single arrival in any of the outposts, though no less than six ve,sels were reported as having put into Scilly. The number of merchant men beating off the coast, and hitherto prevented from entering the Channel through adverse winds, must be considerable; no less than three packets from Lisbon must be out. The following communications from the Hon. KsP rsL CRAYRN, her MAJESTY'S Vice-Chamberlain,were last night made to the LORD MAYOR : " Brandenburgh House, Wednesday Morning, Jan. 10. "My Loan—l am commanded by the Qwers to communi cate to your Lordship, that her Msszsry has this moment re ceived a notification, dated January the Bth, from Baron Vow Ozwxnauswx, Charterlain and Vice Master of the Hone to she late Duke AIGUSTIIS of BLUNSWICIC, her Many-es Brother, announcing the melancholy intelligence of his Serene Highness's decease, on the 18th of December last : in consequence of an event so distressing to her feelings, her Maarery has commanded me to state to your Lordship, that she must decline being pre sent at the Concert which is to take place at the Mansion-house on Wednesday, the 17th ; and that the same considerations will preclude the possibility of her Mammy receiving the Address from the Livery of the City of London, on Monday, the 15th. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, " Your Lordship's very obedient, humble servant, " It. KEPPEL CRAVEN, Vice-Chamberlain. " To the Right Hon. the Loan Maros." " I have received her MAJESTV'S commands to state, that, in consequence of the melancholy death of her Brother, Duke An aimus, of Bit/MAIVICE. her ftlamery will not receive the Ad dresses appointed for presentation on Monday next, and that another day will be fixed, of which due notice will be given. ," R. KEPPEL CRAVEN, Vice-Chamberlain. Brandenburgh House, Jan. 10, 1821." A Requisition, most numerously and respectably signed, having been presented to the 'Overseers of the United Parishes of St. George the Martyr, and St. Andrew, Holborn, requesting them to convene a Meeting of the Inhabitants, for the purpose of con sidering the propriety of presenting a Loyal and Dutiful Address to the Queen, congratulating her Majesty on the failure of the Bill of Pains and Penal ties ; the Overseers consented that a Meeting should take place yesterday forenoon, at eleven o'clock, in the Workhouse. On the preceding evening, how ever, the Ministerial party, including Mr. REYNOLD'S (one of the Commissioners of the Insolvent Debtors' Court, a Commissioner of Bankrupts, and also a prac tising Barrister, particularly in Crown cases), Mr. WALTON (who holds a situation connected with the collection of the taxes), and several Magistrates, mus tered in great strength at the Board-room. Here it was contended that the Overseers had not a right to summon the Meeting—a point which was con ceded by one of them, without hearing any argu ments on the other side. It was then proffered by the Ministerialists that a Meeting should be held to Address the King, hot at which no mention should be made of her Majesty—a proposition which was flatly declined by the Independents, and thus the matter ended for the night. Yesterday, however, at a quarter before eleven, the Loyalists contrived to fill the Workhouse with their own crew, and constituted themselves a Meeting, fo r the novel purpose of im mediate adjournment, instead of discussing the ob ject of the Meeting. Having committed this amusing solecism, they instantly dispersed, and ordered the gates. to be shut, and the real Requisitionists to be told that the Meeting was over. These latter, how ever, were not to be put off; they got possession of the Workhouse. and after some severe and just ani madversions on the absurd and outrageous conduct of their antagonists, passed some appropriate Reso lutions, preparatory to a future Meeting on the ori ginal objects of their Requisition.—Tiroes. In consequence of a Requisition addressed to Sir RICHARD CA RR GLYN, Bart. Alderman of the Ward of Bishopsgate, he has appointed a Meetin g t o b e field at the L ondon Workhouse, Bishopsgate-street, on an early day, to take into cunSideration the pro., priety of Petitioning both Houses of Parliament, to resist any attempt to institute further proceedings against her Majesty the Queen, and to take such measures, as in their wisdom shall seem meet, for procuring the insertion of her Majesty's name in the Liturgy. and putting her Majesty into immediate and full possession of all those rights and dignities which belong to her Maje s ty as Queen Consort of tills realm. • COVIENT-GA 'MEW THEATRE —The new Tragedy of Mit-mach was repeated last night, and went o f with•still greater eclat than on the first night.
