Tbe most business doing among the Brokers, is making up tbpir Account for next Friday, which is settling day. The Express from Paris this morning, has brought the French Rentes at 91.-20., and Spanish 3 7k. We do not hear as yet, any important news from the above capital. The New French Scrip. seems, since the arrival of Mr. Roths child and his two Brothers, last night, to be on the ad. stance. It opened at 21, and remains steady at 21; the Consol market ha's declined to 84. It is reported that the affairs of Spain are in an advanced state of adjustment, with the French Government, and that the Spanish Loan contracted for in this Country will be acknowledged by France. _ _ Fortnum Forsns.—Very little business is doing in f..e above market, except in filer French Scrip., Russia and Spanish securities.

We ha►e this morning received Bayonne papers to the 9th ine•ant, of which the following are ettracts BATON N JULY B.—An Express that arrived yesterday from Cordova and Madrid, states, that the country was pretty tranquil, but that this was itt tact owing to the flight of the majority of the Constitotional Inhabitants- Our troops complain of the dearness of every thing; and thongh their pay is high, it is barely sufficient The approaching arrival of Marshal Lewiston, [who hail reached Bayonne on the 6th], was much talked of at Madrid, and it was thought the Duke of Angouleuse would soon after return to Paris. Should lte do this, it would confirm the opinion of those who think that the war-will be protracted. The letters front Madrid to-day, contain hardly any thing but the Proclamation of hlorillo, which we knew before. They mention that, according to letters from Cadiz, the Cortes having restored to the King the full exercise of his power as soon as he arrived in that City, are taking every means to defend their cause in the dif. ficult circomrances in which they are placed. IL Val des, whom they have appointed Commander-in-Chief of the forces by sea and land, is a distinguished officer, who received many wounds at the battle of Trafalgar, where he commanded a vessel. Cadis was said to be perfectly tranquil, and to be is want of nothing, and that the supplies which it received from all quarters, would enable it, with the granary of the garrison, to hold oat. a long siege. A drove of 500 Oxen, on the way to our army in Ands lit.ia, has heen stopped in La Mancha, by a detachment Of the army of Ballasteros; 330 were taken, and the rest dispersed in all directions. Some apprehensions are en tertained at Salamancas the garrison of Ciudad Roderi go makes frequent excursions, which it estends to a con siderable distance, and generally with advantage. Accounts from Curia, say, that the Empecinado en tered that place, after a successful engagement, and had imposed a large contribution on the town, and especially on the Chapter of the Cathedral. Since the proclamations of Morn) we have not heard that his army has joined the opposite party, and It is now said that letters have been received from Gana., announc ing that htorilio baying learned that the King's pelves , had been restored to him, had harangued his troops and declared o them that he was ready to resume offeneive operations, and to defend the Constitution with sore zeal than ever.— biller letters announce to the Royalists the entrance (of the French) into Coming. It is stated that an account of the French army having been lately taken, the result was, that Including the corps In Catalonia, there was a deficiency of 10,000 men. (It is not stated whether the deficiency was owing to sickness, desertion, or to actual toss in the field; or in what proportion it is to be ascribed to each of these Causes.) CONSPIRACY AT MANILLA. The Ship Milton, Smith, arrived at Boston from loauilla, informs that some papers which had accidently Miscarried were intercepted there on the 29th of Deeem.l I)er, containing part of correspondence relative to a horrid Conspiracy to be carried into execution of the night of the 31st which was to murder all the European Govern ment officers in the Island. On the night of the 30ths fifteen of the principal inhabitants implicated in the Conspi racy were seized in bed and sent on board a Spanish ship, and all their property was seized by . the Government. This affair caned great alarm among the European Mer pliant!. Many of whom sent their valuable property on board vessel. for security. All was quiet when Captain Smith SAtEfi, JUNG 13.—The conspiracy at Buenos Ayres , an the 19th March, was the result of the extensive com /Anew° of disaffected persons in the province of Santa Fe, Rios. sad Buenos Ayres. The blow was to be struck at the same time in several places. Nothing, however, was at Santa Ye. There was a rumour of a rebellion in Rom Rios, bet said to have been suppressed. The pro vince of Saaw Ye and Entre Rios have united in war limiest the Brazilians, and are determined to drive them • out of Banda Bunts!. Colonel Garcia, has been shot - at Bows Apes, for conspiracy against the tiovernment. Mr. Selma, Minister from Columbia, to the United • States, on his being presented tc the President, addressed in a long speech. Baltimore aad Philadelphia pape rs hart arrived this mural ing to the 20th ant:, by which we learn that some .dissatill fiction had 'misted mods tbd takers of thb Colombian Squadron; in consequende of which, Captain Matthews , and Lieutenants Rogers and Bartlett, with another, threw op their commissions, and retired from the Colo , rblan ser vice. The crews became disorderly, and it became neces sary to send shoat 33 of them on board the Bolivar in irons. Accounts from Maracaibo' are to the 19th of May, They state that the Commandant Padilla, having received inform ation of the result of the action of the Ist of May last, did not think it prudent to remain any longer at Los Tapes, butresolved to force the entrance to the Bar of Maracaibo, which he effected on the Sth, with It sail, large and small. One of the brigs was sunk by the guns of the Castle, and two others were soon aground. This discomfiture forced Pa dilla to retire to Panto Palma. Another account aye, Mo rales has been obliged to abandon Maracaibo. On the 40th of May, the Spanish troops, nine hundred in number, re occupied Coro. PARLIAMENTARY COMMENTARY. The Bill to consolidate the laws relative to the Slave Trade, has been postponed until next Session, at the re. quest of the Lord Chancellor, who said it would take a month longer before it could be properly examined. May we Lope that the Lord Chancellor will be equally op posed to the business of legislating in a hurry, upon" the Spitalfields Bill. The third reading of this Bill stand. for to-day, without there having been the least opportus laity for either the Committee, or the House, to consider tie voluminous evidence which has been given for and against it. There was some reason to believe the thing was a ministerial measure, from the flippant style, and want of argument, which Mr. Huskisson displayed. But when the House of Lords declared that consideration was necessary, and that time should be allowed to hear what could be offered against the measure, we had some hope that it was determined to consider, as well as to hear ; and that common sense, and common justice would prevail If the Bill is read a third time to-night, we shall hay s been disappointed; and, did the matter end there, we should not complain; but we are satisfied that the result of the new measure will be to compromise the peace of the metropolis, upon every difficult crisis. Nothing but the Bill about to be repealed has enabled the population of Spitalfields to bear the occasional privations to which they have been subjected. We bad no idea thatthe Ministers could afford to lose nearly so much popularity as they mast lose by this measure; bat that they would encounter so much further rids as they tn tilt run by their interference,we could not give them credit for a sufficient degree of folly. Their common policy should be to divide the masses of the labouring population through the country; and it would be far better for them, that the Silk trade should leave Spitelfields, than that the whole of the Silk trade should be brought to the Metropolis. Here, at least, they should endeavour to keep a contented population. But if they despise all the warnings of prudence, they must bear with the result. There is yet time to pause, and we have done our duty in pointing oat the danger of proceeding. The half-official manifesto of the Holy Alliance, which I we noticed yesterday, is one of those daring outrages upon the common sense of the world, which have often I proceeded from the modern corn lave of united depots. With a total disregard of troth, and contempt of the un derstanding of the parties to whom it is addressed, it falsifies facto, and assumes, data at the pleasure, or for ' the convenience of the Royal dictators. The existence of such an alliance as that from which it proceeds, is one of the monstrosities of the age :—and the people of every nation ought to rise against the pretensions upon which it is founded. The document contains one curious con fession, the compulsion to admit which ought to teach the allied depots, that they have undertaken a business for which they are as utterly unqualified, as to 'titillate the weather, or to reach the moon. The writer admits, that it was necessary for France to seek, in the at noble occupation of war," an employment for those unquiet spirits, who were not satisfied with the paternal sway of the Bourbons. Treason, it is declared, bad tainted the French army, as well as the French people; and it was necessary to send them to be killed iu Spain, to prevent them from compelling Louis to a third departure from the beloved kitchen of the Tuilleries. This dreadful result would have completely undone all the previous labours of the Holy Allies. They would have been all compelled, io the appropriate language of the Queen of Portugal, to have gone again " into the workshopof royalty, to forge new chains for the maintenance of s' saga, order." One part of the secret is thus disclosed. Foreign war was necessary to Vrance to prevent a domestic explosion ; and Spain was selected as the object of aggression, because the weakest, as well as the most obnoxious to the Holy Allies. The other reasons attempted for this aggression are as contemptible, as they are detestable. They are founded either in the grossest disregard of known facts, or the basest perversion of them. The Constitution is denounced as the work of a faction against the majority of the nation. This cannot be true ; because the Cation would not submit to what it disliked. A faction could not controol a nation ; and no foreign force could have been requisite to liberate the King of Spain, had the people thought proper to demand his restoration to power. The same falsehood is told of Naples, and of Piedmont. It is said the revolutions were put down because the people preferred the old order to the new ; If so, why were the Austrians required to vindicate the preference of the people? But these are all falsehoods of the worst nature—told in the open face of day, and against the better knowledge of their authors. The Holy Alliance are well aware that their own Govern ments only exist by coercion-that they are more deeply bated than they are feared; and That they could not exist an hour, if they depended upon the feelings of the people for support. The worst feature of this document War as we are immediately concerned, is that there is sn English air about its composition and arrangement. It is a month old; and would have been more in time with circumstances, if it bad followed hard upon the counter-revolution in Portugal. And if the plot to seise Ferdinand at Seville bad succeeded, we should pro. bably have been treated with this document sooner. It "-.lllmLx...Ak lb a piece of sophistry evidently composed for a crisis though like one of Mr, Canning's speeches which has been prepared, and is too rood to be lost, k bas been produced; although the crisis has not yet happened• An ultra-paper, indeed, says, th e business of the Penin• sula is considered es " remind/ed." By wbdm It is so considered, except the French have made the discovery that they can do nothing more, we know not; for Cadiz is not yet tiken, nor Mina overtaken—nor the fortresses subdued—nor Gallicia entered. Nor would the business be terminated, if all these things bad happened. Welted a revolution in England,and a restoration that lasted for some years; but Ole business was not"terminated" until &second revolution succerded.The contest between freedom and op pression, can never be terminated while oppression exists; because the love of freedom cannot be eradicated; and that feeling mast always prompt resistance to tyranny. — Spain may not achieve her freedom in this age, or is the next ; but she will still be free ; for the seed is sown, allfi the harve , t will be reaped, in the fulness of time. The voice of nature, and of nature's God, bare gone forth against the blasphemous pretensions of the impious Atli ance. daring to call itself Holy,while it advances the prix ciples of slavery and desolation; and, however formida ble that Alliance may seem to superficial observers, it will be blown as chaff before the wind, by the irresistible authority which it has audaciously ventured to dispute. A report of the proceedings at the public dinner given on Monday, at Birmingham, to Mr. Hunt, is given in our preceding columns. It was conducted with perfect order and propriety. His Majesty is this day to hold a Council at Carlton Palace; also a Court, at which it is expected that his Majesty , will receive the 'Recorder's Report. The out lines of the Speech on the Prorogation of Parliament are also expected to be submitted to the King in Council for the Royal sanction, lty the • Earl of Liverpool as the Prime Minister, according to the customary forms. There will be a Chapter of the Order of the Garter held this day, at Carlton House, to invest the Marquess of Bath, who, for some cause or other of which we are unacquainted, was not present at the Chapter last Mon day. There was a very full Court, and after waiting an hour for the Noble Marquess, the King adjourned the Chapter to this day. Yesterday the Princess Sophia visited the King.

The most gratifying splendour was displayed, and the servants of the House hobd wore their rich state dresses on the occasion. his Majesty will give a Wand Entertainment to morrow. Yesterday at three o'clock a Cabinet Conneil was held at the Foreign Office, Downing -street, which sat till near half-past font o'clock. There were present the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Harrowby, Mr. Peel, Mr. Canning. Earl Bathurst, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord ildarybotough. Mr. Wynn, Viscount Sidmonth, &c. The subject under deliberation was supposed to be the ar rangement of the Speech to be submitted for the King's a pproval fur closing the Session of Parliament. The following are, Extracts from the French Papers of Sunday : MADRID, July 7.—(Extract from a Private Letter.)— Tliq write to us front Cadiz, that, on his arrival, th e King did not wish to resume the shadow of authority which the factious had left him, but that he was deter mined to it by the Chapter and the principal Commercial Body, who represented to him that his constitutional inviolability was necessary, in order t h at his subjects might defend him. The Militia of Wiz are revolved to protect the life of the King. Th , re have been already divides between these and the Militia of !Madrid and Seville. As soon as the King appeared on the terrace of the Custom House, the inhabitants of Port St. Msry's, and of other places round the bay, manifested their attach ment to him by shouts, and by decorating their houses, The Government has interdicted the King from this pro menade.

The com.nand of this army, which is now in a ruined state, has been given to Zayas, 1141lasteros has been sent to the isle of Leon. Mention is made to -day of a letter written by General Bourdesoulte, dated the 16t of July, in which this pas sage is remarkable : " I hope to be able to inform you to-morrow that the French shall have entered the island of Leon."--(Quotedienue.) Peartnmas, July s.—Mina arrived on the Nth tilt. at Sans, a village a quarter of a league from Barcelona., un der the cannon of the fort of Moniajonic, where he remains in consequence of the gout, occasioned by the fatigues of his last march, and the snow he encountered on the mountains of Norio. The Duke of Norfolk, with Lord and Lady Surrey and family, have arrived at Arundel Castle, to reside there daring the summer. Sir John Wrottesley seems likely to come in unopposed for Staffordshire; and Mr. Heathcote for Newcastle, in the same comity, is consequence of Mr. T. !Caner 'ley, the brother of the deceased member, declining to oiler himself. _ . . . _ On Friday Lord Ingestrie attained the age of 21 years, on which occasion there was a grand fete at Ingests-le, the seat of his father, Earl Talbot ; from 6to 700 Ladies and Gentlemen were invited. The bells in Stafford were ringing during the whole day. On the 19th of June, the August ceremony of the mar riage of the Crown Prnice with the Princess of Gencliten burg was celebrated at Stockholm with great pomp and splendour. The subscription for the Spaniards in Edinburgh goes on vigorously. The Scotsman says—b. It gives us much plea sure to notice among the subscriptions for the Spanish cause, several sums contributed by industrious mechanics. Be sides those already advertised, we understand that from 71. to SI. base been subscribed by a ember of cabinet-makers la a workshop in thei New Town. Offers have also been made to the committee of manufacturing pikes•for the ser vice of the Spaniards, but it has been thought hest to con gae the contributions from this part of the country entirely to money, as arms can be furnished at a cheaper rate, sod be more easily conveyed from the south." 1 .....

HAYNARKET.—The Padlock %las again performed last night, in which Miss Lova and Miss Pavoy, as the re presentatives of Leander and Leonora, were rapturously encored in the airs which they respectively introduced of " Sao what is more dear to the Heart of the Brave,', and t. &use, Sweet Home." The Comedy of Exchange no Robbery bad all the attraction of the great comic ta lents of Lisvosi : FINING was an able representative of Sir Lennox Leinster ; and all the other parts were equally well and effectively sustained. ENGLISII Opens House.—The Dick Dasloll of Mr. WALLACK, in the farce of My Aunt, is as pleasant a per rorinanee as we have recently witnessel. We remember having before seen him at Drurv-Lane personate a man " overtaken with strong drink," as we thought, to the life ; but he outdoes his former efforts, in the last scene of Dashall. It is irrestibly comic. HIT3I.IRKST THEATRE.—The fourth Report of the Crown-land Revenue Commissioners (just printed by or der of Parliament) s• ates that "a -Plot of ( round on the east side of the Haymarket, and west side of Suffolk street, with a Theatre and Messuage thereon, was leased for 99 years from January 3, 1831, to David Edward Morris, Esq. at the yearly rent (a pepper-corn rent for the first two years) of 356/. 9s. 6d., and 391. 19s. in lien of hind tax redeemed by the Crown: the costs, charges, and expenses incurred in erecting and finishing the said Theatre and Mrssnage being 9,0901." Thus the Ground Rent alone of the " Little Tueatre," is near 41. M. a year Tice FRENCH Paess.—lt is said that the English re sident in Paris and other parts of France are to have a new English paper started for their accommodation. There is already snEnglish journalfin Paris, which is well circulated, and the proprietors of which are reaping a good profit. It appears, therefore, that there is a far opening for a second enterprise of this nature. A list of the French newspapers pablished here, with the amount of the number of copies printed, will chow that, not withstanding the low price of newspapers Ka paper being sold fur 21 English), there is by no means the Santo extent of intellectual anxiety here as in England.

These are all daily papers : no weekly newspaper, or three day newspaper, is published in Paris. —(Paris paper ) The extreme novelty of Charles Mathews's appearance in the character of Othello, at the Liverpool Theatre, at tracted a very crowded audience, and what is still more sin gular, Mathews is reported to have entered into the spirit of the jealous Moor with a justness of conception which asto nished all present. According to The Dublin Morning Post the myste rious pass words of the Irish Orangemen were : For the Orange—F. I. V. E. and Beth-ho-ron. Fur the Purple—flak-ke-dab. These words occur in the 10th thspter of Joshua, and have reference to the slaying of the five King., who were hang upon fits trees at hlakkrdah, and to the es termination of the Ammorites at Bethhoron. Messrs. Horst and Robinson, of Pall-Mall, purchased at Mr. Davison's late sale, Wilkie's picture of King Al. fred in the Nratherd's cottage, receiving the rebuke of his hostess for allowing her cakes to be burnt, at 509 guineas. We understand it is their intention to bare this chef d'oeuvre, which includes a striking portrait of the Artist bitnselC engraved as soon as possible in a style, and on a scale worthy of the subject and the painter. Kate ReenoROUGH LINF.N TRADE.—OiI Saterd sy last, about eleven o'clock, this Borough was thrown into an unusual consternation, its consequence of a sudden an nouncement by the m inufacturers, that they had deter mined to reduce the price of weaving, which, we under stand, exceeds more than 10 per cent. In the afternoon the weavers quietly assembled, and determined not to submit to the prescribed terms. Of course a Late of agi tation pervaded the town, though we ..re happy to add not tumultuous. On Monday abint two o'clock, p.m., the disengaged workmen, whose numbers amounted io nearly 1700, perambulated the streets in regular files, with peaceful demeanour, their situation producing general sympathy, and we are assured the anxiety of public feel ing, which generally unites itself on extraordinary occa sions, and particularly when they have an immediate interest, was deservedly displayed in favour of the work men. Our correspondent adds, that a deputation of Barnsley manufacturers have la'ely been actively en gaged, en secret, with those of the Borough, and that on .the evening previous to the turn-out, a consultation was held at Abbott's Hotel (Bay Horse). the deliberations of which extended to a very unseasonable hour, the gentle men not forgetting to secure to themselves plenty of "good things.
