A letter is published, which is said to be written by the Duke of San Carlos to General Morino, in South America, and intercepted by Admiral .Brion.

Et.—.T adjourned meeting on Hunslet Moor did not break tip till near ten o'clock ; 1 have just returned, arid have Duly time, previous to the setting out of the.ma I, to gite you a hasty sketch. .Ftotat six till mute o'clock, the hiboutitig population of Leeds, Hunslet, Holbeck, and all other townships for many mike round, kept pouring towards the Moor,every cross-road and arcane to which was crowded with pedestrians. At onetime it was cal culated that the assembly amounted to at least80.00o; het it was not possible•to estimate the number with any degree of accuracy, as many hundreds, apprehensive of mischief front the terbulent disixisition of some unruly characters who mixed with the crowd, left the ground at an early hour ; but I am happy to say, 'that though there was much appearance of a disposition to mischief, I have not learnt that any-serious accident occurred.— Both the military and police officers kept aloof from the place of meeting, and the speakers gave full scope to their arguments, unawed by any interfereuce of either civil or military power. The principal speakers were the same as those who kgured a: the meeting this day se'intight, with the exception of NVie iains of I)ewsbury. Mr. Mann, book seller, of this town, opened the Inrsinesa of the meeting, in a short breech, and proposed that a Mr. Booth should take the chair, which was decided in the afhrinatire by a ,hew of hands. Mr. Booth accordingly cause forward and addressed the assembly. He appeared to be evidently labouring under the pressers of that distress, which is lint too generally prevalent in this district, and addressed those around hen with much feeling—" NVlty," he asked, "arc we now labouring under this acute distress? Our enemies say it is a just punishtnent for our sins; but that cannot he, es Providence has for two seasons ble , sed us with the must abundant crops, and plenty smiles throughout the land. We can therefore only attribute our distress to the misrule of the ministers of the crown, and •the defective 6134: of our representative system." After another speaker of ruiner note bad (Mitered a few sentenee- , , Nlr. l'etre (who ti;ureil coosptetiously the last meeting) Caine forward and addressed the crowd with great vehemence for nearly an hour. He went over the old topics, butt mite intemperance and the ill judged iiimy which pervaded it throughout, gave great offeuce to litany. The dsfferent speakers exhorted the multitude In de part peaceably and orderly to their -respective louties ; anti, previous to breaking up, they passed a resolution to meet again ao the same place on M on d a y next. ...... . _ . .. .. The 'Stock Exenangc, Ottriti4 the whole of the last week, hus been alternately tinder the influence of two contending parties, one seeking to depress, the other to raise, the price of the Funds. Neither party, strictly speaking, can Inuid to have been successful in its object, the price of lllin:iium not having (vett lower .ban I dis count, or higher than i premium. The public, meat , - time, appear to have berm lookers.on, and, taring some very material change, whose direction is wholly uncer tain, have abstained in a great measure from all 'peel]. taboo. This stale of things is likely to monitor, tintA one of the contending parties is exhausted, or till the public opinion taken a more decided turn. The chief ar gument agaitista rise in the Fonds is founded on an an ticipation of the effect that will be produced on the market when the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund cease their purchases. It is impossible to foresee the result of this measure ; but any reliance upon it, fur purposes of speculation, may prove extremely fallacious. In every other respect circumstances are favuural.le in a rise. There is at present a 1110.4 excellent money inwi.ei, which wilt be reinforced in a few days by the d ividend. on Consul. and other Smock : to this is as be added the amount of the deferred dividends on part of the limo, made last year, and which becomes doe (*mike first time on the sth of July next. It is well m own, to", t 1 t . many of the principal speculators are out I t srort, -awl will probably he compelled to purcha ,e to a dhsgelvan. tape; they have lately uteri driven, as it is said, to the necessity of borrowing stock, and at a higher rate, isi coke to enable them tu deliver what they had previously sold. Th e F u nds, probably, will never ret.tain the p..itit they hail reached a few months ago ; but, considering the great fall which has since taken place, and th e sot to quantity of new stock c .aied, tiny at e a t pit.:eni, wit think, tsalow their true 1 .1. f.
