Yesterday the Funds left off at 6s, and this morn- jos they have experienced a further decline. They peed this morning at 671, and the market looks my l i nty, which is owing both to the external and imolai situation of the country. A number of sa ki have been made within these few days by the Maid iaterest. We kale this morning received the Paris Papers a igawilay. Those of Friday arrived at a late hour algia. fetters from Italy state, that the Prince Vicar-Ile- 'Kral of Naples bas abolisbed all the extraordinary tribtnals. The Spanish Minister at Naples, Doe Loots lhits, has presented his credentials, and has been received by the Royal Family. The 31inister of Jus tice has published an official declaration, announcing that no letters transmitted by the public conveyance shall be opened. Vimem*, Jvt.r 31.—The subject of the Conferences between the Prince de MITTRIINICII and the Prince de CIRIATI, Ambassador of the Neapolitan Government, h not yet haew■ with any degree of precision. It is confidently stated, that the Court of Austria has not yet adopted any resolution withrespect to the affairs of Naples ; the Prince Cantart has returned to Italy without having had an audience of the Km PritOlt. The order for sending Austrian troops into Italy has been eountertnanded. This information was at first doubtful, bat Las lately been confirmed. The number of troops as st-mbled on atisorcasion, amounted to thirty battalions , of Hungarian Infantry. Fur the , present, no expedition against Naples seems to be contemplated. The troops aborementioned, it is said, week destined to maintain tran. t ullgty, in the Austrian . pes4inces in Italy. JLLT 31.

In the Sitting of to-day the Cortes were employed in a discussion respecting the brigands and factions persons. It was proposed to organise an armed force of b,230 men, divided into 36 companies of Infantry, and 16 of Cavalry, which are to be paid as soldiers, to be called the Legion of National Safeguards. This pro• position was ordered to be taken into consideration. Fairecu Fuxos.—Pive per cents. 78f. Bank * Actions 1,380 fr.

THE STAT Tise Queues Letter to his Mainly, has mired with redoubled %ekortence, all the Jest and terrine feelings which her sufferings and noble Wad had so strongly excited. It is not our intention to add any thing to what we said yesterday. to express our sista of its strong and eloquent reasoning. Nor owl we occupy any part of oar columns now, i■ vindicating the cause of the QUERN against her semen sad their vile associates. Every step of her own conduct, in her defence, has been her vindication ; and we have no public to win in her behalf, for they are won already by herself, and are wholly hers. A duty, not withstanding, remains for us to perform ; and bow evrr hopeless may seem the attempt to discharge it. we shall not suffer ourselves to be silehced by despair. We, therefore, address ourselves to that House which is called upon, in the first initance, to sit iu judgment upon her MAJ6STT ; and if that assemblage of Nobles is not to be appalled by the danger which threasees itself, with the whole aristocracy of the realm, the Nouse of Commons may be induced to arrest the progress of this evil when its portentuous gloom shall come to overshadow its sittings. The first thing for the House of Peers to look sted featly at is, the temper of the nation respecting these proceedings, and respecting themselves as involved in these proceedings. It is saying only half the ttuth, to state that the great majority detest the proceedings, and that no rank screens the persons concerned in them from a concurrent hatred. If the nation were utterly wrong, still the Peers of this Realm would be unfit to stand in the rank where fortune has placed them, if they persisted against 'o generals feeling as that which condemns only the Querv's enemies. Thrones are seldom upheld against the will of a raised and incensed nation, and cannot be so upheld but by one arm whirl► now no wise mail will rely on solely for safety. Is it impossible to induce the Lords to look at this fielly P And is it possible they shall go on, when they have felt the fearful magnitude of this single argument ? But it is not only prudence which demands concession, under circumstances such as we have just glanced at. itrATlCEramkes the acme demand ; and if Justice were even silent on the subject, gees rosity to 6 people to whom the Throne and the Anis. tocrary are uncounted obligations, 'that gejsposity Would say—". (live them this boon, pour in cost to you, but every thing to their warm and whir hearts." There eat be no error in this reasoning. Who shall lose by the concession we ask of tht tlovernment and the Peers N.—not the nation, for th.erere the elaituaslit of matey here (we cell it mercy fur the argument*, ftke)--not the Sovereign, for be has deviated the fruition to be no lours personal, by his refusing to .soliod ' wake the QCP:BN:11 letter is bin personal capacity oti sad a moik-sArlterhits is to he luhatel IoP. Itillatesio• ? The safety of the state may be end** peed by a contrary coarse ; and who has more to loio with the overthrow of the state, than the Moose of Peers ? . If this cannot be ugliest against us thus far, and we l i dilak it cannot, will any one hew bold an to say the :Ilissatisfactioao• against there prweediugs, is : not that of the Nation, but of a Party? Why! that will make a sort of an argument for Ministerial papers, when they can get nothing else; and they do resort to it, because they can get nothing . better. But no sober and honest man will say, that the Natioh does not al most universally detest the very name of all Vila am. oven supposed to be enemies to the QvaeN. Amu* the multitudes of the high and low and middle classes, who associated so cry up the Monarchy, and frightened us with their iti - rin* for Its safety, none are famioll back Ministers in their present fearful proteedings, ii ear paper of yesterday, we gave an instance of - whit are the honest feelings on this %abject, ci,f_ the . ia pendent men who lately supported *vestment:that ‘, when they thought the state Silo in danger. Sir 'Donato NoeL's letter to Lord LreitaeooL, is a perfei4 specimen of the feelings generally, of our Gentry oa this aalsappy topic. If the Peers, therefore, have shut their eyes or earss or both, in this contest, let us hope the (ousts/ are irlser. We do very firmly entertain rush hope. We believe the Capstone an pot to be duped ; and we do .think their true hageroarr will be as saw by slum, as *Stake hi/Irene' fly up and leave the other teak pros. piliarating. Sir ellitAllb Noel. lied sot fear the being found in a . minority on this occasion. His patriotism and good sense will rally w assembligeof Statesmen round him, whom danger and well-grounded fear have made trim. The above would almost seem to have bees written In answer to The Courier of last night. It was, haw se's, written previous to oar having seen that paper. • The Courier cannot be so ignorant as ft preseadalo be, when it asserts that her MAJESTT "dies for pro .Wetion and acquittal to the rabble." If the writer will go into the places of resort which are frequented by persons of property, and of old and tried loyalty, be will scarcely find one voice in behalf of the Qvasn's innissers in any any one of them. It is a noiseless 10, which has cast a most serious alarm amongst the property and loyalty of the country, that the hotrod manifested against the rum. proceedings is ia , othe l public meetings and private assemblies, is oar etiode, our houses, and ergo in our places if worship: fr his feeling is not to be aigmatised by 'the pets scandalously heaped upon it by The C o wley.. ilfili the Ministerial Papers allay any port of the alas* IMAN. mated by the proceedings of which the QCIIII,I COW plains? The language of The Courier, in speaking. of the Qualm's letter, is coarse aid furious, and is as ill-calculated as its arguments to serve the cause which bas the misfortune to be defended by such an advocate. The hour is fast approaching when t'arliument will re-assemble ; and for what? To promote the tran quillity and prosperity of the nation ? to remedy the disastrous consequences of war ? to alleviate the bur- I then+ of taxation ? to remove the embarrassments of Mein? a fresh scope to industry? to relieve the wants of the poor? 0! no. The only object aimed at is that from which no benefit to the people can pos sibly result; by which the nation is convulsed, for the purpose of allaying a mere personal irritation ; and a Queen is to be persecuted to vindicate the honour of a King. This object, which had occupied the time of Parliament almost from its commencement, is now about to consume it till the termination of a Session. The consideration of the gravest questions of po licy has been entirely neglected, in consequence of the proceedings against her Majesty ; and an entire session has been worse than wasted, merely to gratify some of the worst feelings of the human heart, and to set another example of the studied contempt in which pub .4c opiuiois is held by certain pe.sons in this country. Neither the thundering see of reform abroad, nor the piercing cries of distress at home, could make any impression on minds, too long used to a false and stubborn course, to be capable of moving in the straight road, though the greatest perils beset the former. The pleasure of pursuing, even to ruin, a person justly dear to the nation, has overcome the dictates of prudence, and the plainest considerations of safety. Though the distresses of the labouring classes are as severe as they are unprecedented, it has been deemed of more importance to employ the powers of the government for the dettradation of au illustrious, injured, and helpless female, than for the relief of a suffering nation. It is not possible for any man, whose means of in formation ate confined to the metropolis, to have a correct idea of the misery that is spread over the greater part of the kingdom, particularly the mane. factoring districts. The sums, .which are expendell, beyond the fair proportion, in the metropolis, aro withdrawn from the use and succour of the remote parts of the kingdom. Bat the forced animation, which is thus given to the heart, increases tire debility of the rest, and is nrging on that crisis, which the rich and the great would have most cause to deplore ; thank they ate making no adequate efforts to avert it.. The lower class of Englishmen, instead of being that enviable class they had been long and justly re petered, are sot, by many degrees, as well a as the same class in France and the Netherlands. Per haps there would no exaggeration if they were re presented as the most miserable at this moment la Europe. What a light ayes this circumstance these/ epee the policy that has been pursued for years at the expense of so much treasure, and with so much injury to the .oonstialtion ! It shows also the 4us 'Ece as well as the modesty of these souiding stada* to national gratitude, which are occasionally put iieeth by Ministers. It proves at the same time the peopriety of' agitating one of the roust exasperating 4esstious, whilst the public mind is sore from the jpessere of accumulated distress. The powers, how- Wet, of delusion, are passing away rapidly ; and the time is as fast approaching, when Oorertintenis will be strictly judged by their acts and sot by their pro fessions. The House of Lords meets this day pursuant to adjournment; and the day, it is hoped, will not pass over without a question being put to his Majesty's Ministers as to their interference with the despotic Courts of the Continent, against the efforts of the people who are struggling fur a Representative 410. vernuient. Rumours of a policy fatal to the peace and credit of this country are abroad—and it is material that at a moment of suckiesseraal disturbance, the public mind should not be alarmed by accounts of sob sidles, sad of interference with continental disputes, that would to a mural certaioty•plunge us into the guiph of bankruptcy. - The I,llsigouiss frigate.
