Numerous seizures of paper, with false.stamps on. the wrapper enclosing each ream. have been recently made in Bristol. It ot impossible for a consumer to detect the false stamps; but the paper is forfeited, although the shopkeeper may be ignorant of the ' fraud. Paper of this description is purchased fr3m persons who are in the habit of offering it ?It almost every shop in the city, at prices greatly below those of the honest manufacturer ; and we are assured that scarcely a ream of such paper pa) ; the regular duty.

Thus the few transectiens nut arising from speculation, have tended to Maher the -views of that body of speculators, now by Mr the most. powerful, who arc endeavouring to depress the funds. But, however powerful this body may be, the ap-. mach of the settlement of the account, which .takes place on- Friday next, is said to have caused. an alarm among them, amply justified by the extent of their transactions. As the stock sold i-, many times greater. in amount than they would. be able. if called upoo t to deliver, (and they. cannot•te • sure that no such call will.be made), the settling-thy may be fatal to many of them; indeed,. it is well known that the opposite ,party, under the persuasion of this over-speculation, are raising money in every direction, and otherwise preparing themselves to demand the delivery of the stock they hose bought.
