STOCK EXCHANGE. 12 o'crmg.--Convols opened this m•)rning, at Btni, at which price they remain steady. The Exprcss from Paris this morning, brings the French Hewes at One Per Cent higher, 89. 80. Spanish at 31. The information said to be received yesterday afternoon ram Paris, of the old Spanish Loan bring sanctioned by the King of Spain, has not as yet received confirmation. It is expected. however, at Paris, thatthe King of Spain will acknowledge the old Loan, in order to get a new one. FO9EIGN Finns.•—A great bustle took place this morning in the abuse market, owing to the information that the Executive power at Bogota had ratified the Colombian Loan. In conse• (pence of this. Colombian Bonds experienced a fluctuation of 10 per Cent. They left off yesterday at 32, and were done this nmorni ng so high as 63. There was also a great deal doing in Sparish Bonds, which opened at 2915. with a brisk market. ONE o'CLocK.—Private letters received by Express from Paris, state there was to be a new Loan for Spain of WO all. es of francs, guaranteed by the French Government. wko are to take the OW Spanish Bonds in part for payment for the new Loan. It is stated that Lord C. Stewart has been absent these eight days from Paris. It is reported that he set oil ineog. and that his destination is Madrid. His Lady and family are at Dover.

The following is a Copy of a Notice posted this morning, at the Foreign Stock Ecehange : The Contractors have received this morning by the Jamaica mail, a letter from their Agent at Begets, Mr W. C. Jones, dated August the 9114 of which the follow ing it an extract:— "On the 39th of July 1 received a note front General Santander,* requesting snyattemlance at the Palace at two o'clock. I accordingly waited on hits at that boar, and was informed that the purpose for which I was summoned was to acquaint me that the Congress had conferred full powers to the Executive to arrange the *Clair of Mr. Zea's loan, anti that he purposed, in conseqnenee, to retss4enise the 24 per Cent. discount, the interest, and th:t commission, —that is to say, all the leading stipulatioos of the col.- tract. That it only remained for the contrictors to prove that the money had been paid by them for the Republic to Mr. Zea's order. To the justice of this, lof course most readily assented, and assured him that you were quite as desirous to place this point beyond a question as himself." Freeman's Court. Oct. 21, 1933.

The place of See Uriel is in the power of the Royal troops, and it has surrendered to the authority of his Catholic Majesty. The garrison are prisoners of war, and are conducted to France ; 916 men, officers, and sol diers. They had still provisions for nearly two months.

A coasuau, Orr. 24.—.0ur Gazette Universe! gives to. day the first part of the note remitted on the 30th Aug. to the Reis Effendi by Lord Strangford. This was the note which caused the Porte to make concessions to Russia, and it is to be remarked that the Court of Petersburg has left in stain quo the affairs concerning the places in Asia which were reclaimed by the Turks ; and it does not make any mention concerning the Greeks. New York papers to toe 29th Sept., and Philadelphia to the 29th Sept. arrived this morning, from which we select the following : (rams Tat FRANKLIN GAZETTS.) COLOMBIA is stated ill accounts received from Carthagena to the 3rd of August. that the pro►ince of Mutton's has joined the Republic of Colombia. This was to be expected from the recent events which 'have taken place on the Spanish Main, so favourable to the cause 6f li berty. The total extinction of the Royalists ioColombia.is not only calculated to inspire confidence in seek of the neigh- THE STATESMAN honring provinces as might be open to their intrigues, but it has placed at the disposal of the Colombian Government, a force sufficient to put down all opposition. Peru, with the aid which it can now give, may safely calculate on its entire emancipation. (FROM THE rsonrotat HERALD, a►.PT. 22) We learn by letters from Colombia received at New York, that the Congress of that Republic adjourned on the 7th of July, after having ratified the loan contracted in England. by Mr. 'Lea, and authorised a negotiation for a new loan of 30 millions of dollars. The letters state, that the Senate refused to confirm the nomination of Mr. Revenge as Minister to England, and at present, acting there as the agent of the Governm►nt. Extract from Jamaica papers received at the New Eng- land Coffee H3t1.0, to the 10th Sept. By the Lady Ito aley, we learn, that General Morales and the greater part of his troops had arrived at St. Jago de Cuba, from Maracaibo. The officers were billeted on the inhabitants, and a stun was about to be raised by contribu tion fur their relief. During the long vacation, his Majesty's Ministers have been preparing auother series of persecuting attacks upon the liberties of the press, under the mask of smiles and good-humour. We never like the smooth behaviour of these courtiere. It is a ominous of mischief as the wiles of a courtesan. But common prudence might have taught them that, where victory is defeat, they should he cautious in provoking any combat. Whether chagrined at the un timely and disgraceful end of the Midge Street Association, or mortified at the re-appearance of " the shop in Fleet Street," we cannot pretend to say; but the cry of persecution fur opinion is again raised, and the freedom of the press' is again as. sailed by the bar, and denounced by the Bench. Mr. Harvey, the editor, and Mr. Chapman, the printer of the SuudayTimes, have long load suspo tided over 'lcier heads an indictment chareing thew with seditiously insinuating that his afost Gracious Majesty was not so absolutely in posses sion of his senses, as might he desirable for the complete satisfaction of his people. This was given as a • amour, ander the head of latest intelligence, when It is the duty of a pithlic journalist to pet his readers in possession of whatever iliformation he •:y be able to procure. Whether such rummies be facts or not, a public joitrnalist is not in a eondition to ens quire. Mr. Harvey could not go to Carlton House, with the freedom of a Majoicciii, and knock at the door with, "is the Ring afflicted with any mental calamity," But he heard it et tteol,( ts he seys, and as we believe) in ptihVc company, in the public: streets, an I in other places of public resort ; and lie comolioinicate.l the matter, iu the most re spectful manner, to his revirrs. The proper answer 'would have been a contradiction in some Ministerial Print, by those who must have low ont such reports were in circulation, and whose duty it was to have furnished accurate intelligence. So many interests are in • volved in considerations relating to the hsJily health o f persons in such situations, that the intelligence of such a fact, if true, becomes a matt-r of the greatest importance to thousands. The Attoroey-tieneral says salt rainours ought sotto be published. Why not? Are they to he allowed to creep through all the private channels of cognate/1i ration deriving an a Iditional currency through the privacy ne ereasry for their elm-elation ; or are they to nppear in the only way in which tier truth or falsehood of them can h e immediately tested? The Jury have loom! the defendant guilty ; hat recommended them to the /here": of the Court. We do not understand the-priia ipie on which snche verdicts are retoarneol. A man who 'J.-serve-8 no prinishm-tit, can have committed no crime ; earl Woos he is not guilty. A Joey hoes to try whether all accessed person ha t wilfully violated a known law If they final he has, they have no right to recommend him to mercy. if they find any dr am/stances to show that he did not mean to offend, their verdict should nor he guilty. To pat a man out of their hands, laying .o the flattering once WU to their 6-ottla, " that they have ereortonensieal him to the mercy of the Court, seems a sad compromise with ith the determinate integrity of decision which should mark an English Jury. It two espied neatly fuer hours before the .Invy could agree to a verdiet of guilty. It is a principle of the law, that where say denbre are entertained, the accased should have the Item:Sit of them. Now, herr were doubts that it occupied lone heels to remove. We cannot say bow they uere so removed hot 'oppose the resistance of one or too imeiisidoals m ere overcome by a proposition on the part of those who bad no doubts at all, to recommend the -amused to mere)? If this did take place;—if a foreman bail said:—" Gone now agree to a verdict of guilty; and we still agree to recommend to itiercy''--will any one lay that the accused wonld have been dealt with fairly? Another case was tried, in which Mr. J. W. Trust, the shopman of Mr. Carlile, was the defendant. The offence was the sale of Paltner's Principles of Nature. The usual contest took plate beto ern the Judge mid the accused, as to the line of defence which should be allowed. These senseless and useless persecotione are a disgrace to the age; and it is with some shame we perceivetttrat any authority can lend itself to deem; seeing that they originate in the same feeling which offered the poisoned cup to Socrates, and sent thelioreat Founder of the Chris tian Faith, to an ignnmieeians death. When we read of the trial of Christians by Turks, of Protestants by Catholics, and of Jews by the Spanish Inquisition, we exclaim against the evident injustice; but the trial of Deists by professing Christians isa matter ofcourse,and passes without observation as right and proper. Surely the time is coming whea encrotry will out be prohibited by Act of P ar li amen t. I t isetill more surprising that juries should exetciseso verylittle discrimination. The Jury, in the case of Mr. Haney, is represented as returning into court after an absence of two hours, to enquire "whether a malicious intention should be Anon to constitute a libel?" This is a Special Jury in deed! The J Mgt., we suppose, leas been misrepresented in his answer; otherwise, there are snore Jesuits in the country than Sir Harrourt Lees is aware of. The Judge is made to say, " risme there was a libel, the malicious intention " woe to be presumed from the act." This then is the law. malice is charged as essential to an offence said to be corn• witted in an act, which if not malicious, is not an offence. The act may be, or may not be, malicious. But we are told that the malice may be presumed from the act. if this were only nonsaase,.it might pass without observation ; but it strikes us as something more prejudicial. We have before recommended a Magistrate, or two. to the protection of the society fur the instruction of adults. We would a!so re. commend lbs race of Special Jurors to their protection.— They . act honestly, no doubt—but fur their wisdom, the spec:ally thereof, dues not appear. If the readers of the Nese Tinter want any further proof of the infamous policy in the service of which it has been misleading them, let them take it, in the following extract from its leading article this morning:— " On a subject which we hare treated so very often, as we have the Spa:n.l) Finances, we shall say but littl —and that little may be summed up in the word cautiow.—Be cautious—no one can tell how far the Loans will be recog nized, and if they were folly recognized tomorrow, it is a still moredifficult problem to find what they would Le worth. All sides now confess that Public Credit in Sp lin in almost a non-enity ; and even a !loyal recognition will h artily be able to stamp a value on securities beyond the guarantee of solid resources." They will contrast this with his constant reiteration of theft/v:4od that the restoration of the Royal Govern tnent, would 'voice seearily upon the loans, and restore order to the finances of Spain! The Ti;nrs of this morning says its statement respecting Valdez is true in the main, and that the project is fea.ible, as the Americans used it against ve in the last war. This is news most new and wonderful. We remember they threatened to use it but they failed. The Timex lays the plan is feasible; and that the French Bert was alw•iys within god shot of Cadiz, or it would have Item of no use. We thought the Timer had told us it could not keep near Cadir, and that it was of no use. Morning Paper gives us a proof that the late war with France, tees " the people's war;" but the money changers on the Stock Exchange, threw up their hats when they heard of the breaking off of the peace of Amiens. Now, or believe they did no such thing at t ha t time ; vet if they had, it might have shown that it was a war of the ;money ekallger.i,hat not of the iseoi.le. It is state 1, on the authority of a letter from Paris, that Fer•linand has by French influence, been induced to revoli- the ct outta•eous of the decrees issued by him since his leaving (4.14, ilicinding the famous Decree of the Ist or Octolie According to other accounts these Decrees are only modified. Frankfort Pa t ters to the 1 2.1111 inst. have brought us intelligeooe which confirms the previous account; of the Ottoman fleet having ailed back to Constantionple. It adds, that the plague had broken out on board, and had compelled the Turks to raise the siege of Misso lunghi. The army of Jesece PACUA is also (mill to liave almost wholly disbanded itself. There are extracts in the sense Papers from the Oriental Speetator, which give a Turkish view of the affairs of Greece, that is to sty, represent them as in the molt deplorable state, from the divisions that prevail among the Greeks in tie Marco.

GENERAL VALDEZ. Lord Nugent has generously stepped forward 'ts yin& cate the character of this officer, from the calumny pat &lied in the Timer, ern ler the mention of some " di, tinguisited Englishman." The Time: in-errs the followirt l etter from his Lordship ; but by a pertinacity, as shameht as the original falsehood, the • leading journal' appends a note; of which the pla'n Engli.h is, that if Calaway& did not call Valdez a ' dolt,' he ought to Laved ne so. This one way of creeping out of a slander— TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. g/R,- 1 111 a narrative published in your paper of yesterday, of an occorreure which took place during the late siege of dig, it is stated, as a matter of doubt, whether the condueteo Admiral Valdez, in declining to adopt certain means that Wee e proposed to him for annoying the French fleet, proceeded foss treachery or imbecility. lu the possibility of its bei sup. posed that such an insinuation could haves arisen out of say testimony of mine, I feel that I owe It to the reputatim of a brave-man. who has for half a century served his country wits honour, to correct, as far as I may he able, an inference info. rious to him, and, as I am convinced, unjust. From all the means which I had, during my residence at that place, of form. ing an opinion, either from personal information, or frost,* Information of otliers,l believe that there was not inSpain a man more devoted to her cause, or more faithful to the engage.. manta he had undertaken in her defence, than Admiral Valdez. Whatever rosy be the generil "mini .0, or whatever mar he my own. of his other qu , illticsions for the active duties whim were imposed upon him, I believe 'hat one who knows Ad miral Valdez could ever suspect him of treason to his country. or doubt his honest zeal against the common enemy. I oh. serve, also, that you state, that the Nliuister Calatrava, in subsequent conversation, described him as a " dolt." as enabled, of my owe knowledge, to assure you that, in the con. versation you allude to, Senor Calatrava used no phrase of that import or to that effect, but spoke of him personally, as he M. ways did, in terms of warm regard*. I am sure, Sir, that you will feel as I do, that it is hut ni act of common justice to endeavour to remove an imputatiot undeservedly cast upon a man, whose character for integrin and honour has never been impeached, and is perhaps all tha now remains to him out of th e wreck of private happiness, connected as his fortunes have been with those of an atilietel country, and of a cause hitherto uosuccessful. I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, Twickenham, Oct. 30. NUGEN'T. • It will he observed that his Lordship does not assert the our account of Calatrava's remark on Valdez was Incorrect is its general scope. but merely that he did not use the of enslue word " dolt," though It seems almost the only ward wine' could fairly describe the behaviour of Valdes on this °cession. ED. The following particulars are given by a cotemporary as tending to illustrate a devotion to the cause of his couo try, en the part of Valdez, which has never been Ties. tioned. 'there is reason to believe them authentic; and although we had much rather he had accompanied Vera.. • .nd to the bottom of the sea, than have steered him to Port St. Diary's ; yet there is WI ground for any suspicion that be was either false to his cause, ignorant of his duty, or unprepared to execute it. When the king left Cadiz, Admiral Valdez steered the vessel in which he and the Royal Family were conveyed.— On arriviog at Port St. 31ary's, he was invited to land, and if then he had wished to rrit.ge to the King or the Frenck Cersimander in Chief, he had a favourable opportucity.— flaring handed the Royal Family, lie, however, returned to his post—a melancholy one, considering the situation d Cadiz at that moment. Farther—on the following day he received the subjoined summons to surrender, Isom the King's new Alinistor, Vietar Satz:— "TO THE COMMANDAN i'-43R.NKRAL OF THE FOB TRESS AND LANES OF CADIZ.

This save rise to the following reply : " TOSENOIL D. CARTANO VALDEZ. . .
