It is to be observed, that although Consols have teen done 78% for account, they bare not been under 79i E:r money, at any time this day. Tlve orders, both town and country, for purchases of meney i.tock, continue to tow in. Spanialsbasbeen dons at 371—but the declara tion of two jobbers, not indeed of the Miscovy breed, but still of magnitude sufficient to affect the market, brought Spanish down to SS. The market has, however, rallied, and the present price of Spanish Bondsis 35146—market excellent. The quantity of actual money purchaaes to-day, has been unpreeelented. This is attributable, to the unprecedented difficulty experienced by the Bears, in obtaining bonds at almost any price, foe delivery to the Bull►—whose demapds eau no longer be cvaded. Colomhian stands in • situation similar—the atuney buyers insisting en delivery. Hence, these bonds have advanced from 63i to 661—not withstanding which, the supply is inadequate to the demand for delivery. • Letters from Rio Janeiro of the Bleb of February reptment a considerable degree of distract to prevail among the public generally, as to the design* of the new Imperial Court, which is suspected of certain legitimate propensities, not over-favourable to the interests. or integrity of the Constitution,. If any attempt to restore, or rather to continue, despotic power, be exhibited, great confusion, it is said, will take place, there being a strong party for a republic, mid many of the provinees mese than half inclined to liresk,off the ionnettion with Rio Janeiro, and to am emit npoit its own bottom. The installation of Uraemia's Was looked for on the 264 of February, led sattelr evil anticipated in case of that event be ing tray longer postponed. As embassy was to Epremed to- Vienna, to atmostnee to the Emperor lue& the birth of a grand-daughter, on the 17th otf Felintary ; and, perhaps, besides that formal ob ject, to feel the pulse of the Cabinet of Vienna, touching • recognition of the independence of Brazil upon the mother country. Portugal being now in bed odour with .the Holy Alliance, the time has probably not been ill-chosen fir such a diplomatic experiment.—We have received a copy of a Go vernment pmchunstien, tis rather address, to the Brazilians, the team* of which serroborates the in- telligence transmitted by the private letters. In other respects, it is only remarkable for its declama tion against those who are supposed to be inimical to the measures of " Pedro, the incomparable hero, the perpetual defender, the demigod of Brasil." The parties in opposition to she Government are characterised as " Carbowari," and " partisans of the disorganising Cortes of Lisbon." It is asserted that Deputies are daily arriviag from the provinces, and that the Constituent Assembly will soon be in stalled, notwithstanding that the vile calumniators continue to my that " the Emperor and his Minis ters are darts—that they want no constitution, and that if one be framed, it will be something to snit themselves." Exttact of a private letter float Constantinople, dated March 1.0. 1823..—" A curious paper is wad to have been lately presented to tire Sultan. This paper or document is nothing less than a writing which was found by s guardian of the tomb at Mecca, to whom Maltomet apleared at midnight, whilst he was reading the Koran near the tomb; the Prophet had. made him widersti nd, the ob ject of his appearance, by telling him how mush the misconduct of his people had troubled him, he observed that since the late commotion' 70,000 of his people had' gone into the other world, out of which number only seven individuals had been found faithful ; that the remainder, by their neglect of prayers, giving themselves up to' luxurious plea sures want of care of she poor,. and indifference towards the Ullintalis, or Heads of she Faith had thee forfeited his regard mut intercession ! The paper then continues deploring this fallen Mate of his dock, and predicting several evens which are to occur. such st. the disappearance of the stun, mis conduct of the women, loss of the Koran, and con cludes with a mandate, that this warning be copied end Spread from city to city, and. village to village. throughout the Ottoman Empire. This is likewise to have the double effect of giving fresh vigour to their endeavours to put down their enemies, a mere rigid performance of their religious duties, as well is to keep them from molesting, the unoffending.-- Tbe guardian of the tomb was directed by Mahomet to 'forward the paper to the Sultan.

Charles Duke bf Rich mood Provincial Grand Mester for lussex. which appointment has been accepted by his Crrace. The election of officers of the grand ledge of free- • masons for the ensuing year, took place on Thurs day last at Freemasor&-hall,where a greater number of the brethren of the order assembled than has been known for many years on a similar oecasion.— His s iloyal Highness the Duke of Sussex was, for the twenty-fifth time elected Giand Master.— Neerly five-hundred masonic brothers, among whom were the Dukes of Athol and Leitister, several' noblemen and provincial grand masters, sat down to en excellent dinner. The comp a ny, as well as a number of elegantly dressed ladies io the gallery, were entertained by some admired sorep,• catches; and glees, by several professiotial gentlemen.-- Brother Attwood presided at thejsespeishorg. His Royal Highness was in excellent Itesith and spirits, and largely contributed to theant'Priedity and har mony of the meeting. Opinions have recently dhlge pife . ted in Pa- Lament, and circumstance, have occurred, that show our political connection with die Holy Alliance is much greater than is generally. imagined. .This must lead to embarrassment- with respect to the uourtay *hewn to • Ministers, as .Ihtngep dos, in such neentessil • 'es to eke Minutes. of Austria, Itusia,and Psuasis, and theattention shown to the Ambassador of Spain. The etiquette ob served at Levees and Drawing-rooms must, of nun*, be affected, *bannere appears to be a great diversity of opinion on - Imports'st subjects in the courtly and asissisterialuircies, and must prevent them, we imagine, fsodi being held se often as they otherwise would. On Wednesday and Thursday *most interesting cesemony was performed by various ladies of dis tinetion at the 'Cmven and Anchor Tavern, in pro motion of the London Society for promoting Christianity among the Jews. The room was fitted up in a neat style, and stalls were placed round the room, so as to give the place the appearance of a Bazaar, on which were placed fanciful articles of various descriptions; such as dolls' bedsteads, pin anibleas, fame, purses, scissors, reticules, baby linen, lac. the l productiona of the objecteef the Society in the country. The ladies who attended are friends • to the institution, and sat each day from 12 to five orclock, during which period 700 to 1000 persons visited the room, consisting of ladistand gentlemen, who did not confine themselves to the mere value of the trifling article, but paid roand saws; order to contribute to the funds of the charity. The 'ladies *were elegantly attired, and exerted every effort to gain customers to the shop, and they did not fail in their object. The satiety was established in the year 1809, and since that.peried has met with considerable success. The seriptures have 'ban widely disseminated among this class of persons, the effect of which has been very great. The product of' the articles disposed of will afford extensive means to the funds of the institution. It was pleasing to witness so much beauty and splendour uniting their efforts• in the promotion of so desirable and 'charitable en object. An official account was exhibited on Ftidayst the Foreign Stock Exchange, of the proceedings that have taken place in Chili., relative to the ?nun con cluded in this country. The Supreme Director, O'Higgins, immediately ceded provisionally to the House of Representatives, mil the control over the money which might have belonged to him as head of the executive power, until a national bank shall be. established, the managers of which would be chatted with the roannement of elf affairtsonnected with the loan, the payment of the interest, and its redemption. Atr order was made foi the deposit of the money, ad interest, in the Treasury of the Mint, at the sole disposal of the-houses. - PARDSAMENDAiIi Resorts...-From a comparison of the minorities on Lord John Russell's three mo tiens for Parliamentary Reform, it appears that of the 124 members who supported that question in 1.821, there are 10 whose names do not appear in either of the subsequent divisions.. and that of the 164 in 1822, 27 (besides two pair ed ofF), were not in the division of 1823; so that ma less than 208 members of the present House of Commons have, within tin lasatwo yearspeotadja a refetutin Par liament.
