STOCK ESCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.—The lung ar ticle from Paris, in the Journal des Debuts, has created some sensation in the city, hut so many articles of late have been inserted in derrencli papers,both pro and con, in the affairs of Spain, people have become indifferent to them. In consequence of this, the Funds have not expe rienced so great a rise a+ nay expected. By some, it is thought, a stock•jobbing maoceuvre, but, by the well. informed, it is supposed to be a forerunner to a declara tion on the part of France, on her conduct regarding the affairs of Spain. Consols opened this morning, at Eftt¢t• and are, at present, steady, at :+Ol. An express is ar rived from Paris, with papers of Sunday, consequently, no price of the French Funds can he received.

" By his Britannic Majesty's ship Myrmidon, on Mon day last, we received the distressing information of the loss of one of the Spanish prizes, the Ycanam of Ha- Vann:Lb. taken in the 11 'tiny, on board of which, me. lincholy to relate, nearly.-100 slaves, and 16 seamen, of the Iphigenia, perished. The officers in charge, Messrs. Betty and Dought, are unhappily among the number.— At the time the dreadful catastrophe occurred, the Yea naut was in sight of theiSlyrmition, and from the violence of the torna , lo in which she was upset, any assistance was totally in, possible. A boat with seven of her sea men, oho bad miraculously saved themselves from the reek, sere picked up four days after it happened. All the Paris papers of STiturday that were due, have arrived ; and with the excep:ion of that which reached us yesterday by express, they *till are of a pacific cha racter. While the Pate retains its hankering for war, and its penchant for the Spanish Royalists, the Journal des Pala,' (another Ministerial paper), exhibits an ar ticle of considerable length and ability to pro►e the fully Of an armed interference in the affairs of Spain. From the authority attached to the publication in which this article appears, and the intelligence dippl iyed in', its ar gument. an inference is drawn that the tiovernment of France is at this moment diverted from iik warlike pur poses. Linlr. reliance, however, can be placed on such a sett of demanstratioo, whl;e - lhe other indicatidba re in sin on the Frontiers that are so Nerdy hostile. 'Till the answer of the Spanish Govern Merit be obtained to the Declaration or Message of the French, it may be politic to assume the tone. of moderation and forbear• since. The postscript of the /Wile: indeed, slates that the Cortes have determined to reject any proposition fur modifying their Constitution, which was one of the French demands. If this account he correct,war may be postponed, but must be inevitable. The Courier Franrais contradicts the report which it had pre viously noticed of the arrival of the Duke of Wel lington at Paris, and mentions that an evening journal had announced that he was not expected until towards the end of the month. The same paper also states on tie authority of a private letter from Verons, that five clerks belonging to the Austrian diplu• many have been arrested. They are accused, it is said, of cdlmuunicating secret documents to one of the Powers represented at the Congress. The French Clambers, it is understood. will he conruked for the 4th of January.

E'3 ~ti, THE STATESMAN. BOURBON Ws lt. It Full+ , WOO, that ouridiaisters have promised Por tugal protection asaiost France. That is quite another thing Than preventing Prance from invading Spain; and we believe, that Spain will he invaded by France without any attempt on the part of our Ministers to prevent it. We do not pretend to have any informatioa on the subject, ether than that which reaches us theongh the public papers. It is said, in these papers, that Mr . CANNING has told the King of Portugal that the news that he has received contains nothing to justify the idea of the invasion of the Peninsula by France. Mr. CANNING newer wrote that sentence; we should thick it coined for stock jobbing purposesand many such tricks shall we see played off.—We are told, that there was great discordance amongst onr Cabinet iiinistersi bat that now they are all harmony, and all resolved not to remain neutral if France invade Spain. The Morals: Chronicle congratulates them on this! This is prema ture, at any rate; and we believe, that it will, at lasts ell , pose the Chronicle to ridicule.—There is a hint in one of the papers, that our Ministers have made an offer to the Spaniards to protect Mesa, at a certain price; that is to say, if they will mode•/ their government according to certain fashion. The French propose a modelling as the price of fifir6earonce; and we a modelling as the prier of protection. Now, if this he the case, we ate of opi nion. that the modelling that both of them want is just the same: so that, instead of defending the Spaniards against the French, we back the French in de manding a counter revolution in Spain; and , thus bring the Spaniards again under the old harrow. without putting the Spanish Navy into the Lamle of France! We most confess that this is injarious enough; that it is just such an artifice which one migh t expert to see resorted to ; and we cannot say, that we should be very sorry to see it succeed for the present ; because what is going forward at bome will be quite amusement enough for as and our pretty gentlemen. Nevertheless, such is the keenness of France for war; and so perfect is her certainty, that we are unable to oppose her ; and we must say, that we expect to see the invasion take place. Among the measures expected to be adopted by the Congress, they report great restrictions in the liberty of the press, as far as the journals are concerned, both in Italy and the German States, which have representative Constitetions. On the other hand, certain foreign journals will be strictly prohibited in • Russia, .Austria, and all Germany. Eetract of a letter dated Paris, Saturday, Dec 7,_ “ There is en important derision in the Court of Cessation to day. That supreme Conrt has annulled the judgment of the Cone d'Assises of Paris, which condemned the I liberal journals to silence in reporting the proceedings of the Courts. A letter from Marseille., dated the 29th ult., was re ceived yesterday, which mentions a fact remarkably in. dicetive of the disposition of the French troops with regard to the contest of the Spanish frontier. In one of the recent actions between the Constitutional troops and those of the Army of the ?aith, a party of the latter who had been defeated presented themselves before the French lines, to claim reception and protection as friends. As they did not immediately lay down their arms, the of ficer commanding the French troops, either did not or would not recognise to which party therbetoneed. but gave ar a er s to his men to fire, and was so effectually obeyed that near 2110 of the fugitives were killeßsese wounded. The remainder, when the supposed mistake was discovered, were admitted. The . conduct of the French troops, however , was deemed so repre hensible, that the officer and the regiment he com manded received immediate orders from Octal-qoeMers to march into the interior. This riitlinnstance has not been hulked in any of the French Journals. Yesterday, we received Bayonne papers to thesist instant. They state that the Frence Authorities still furnish the rebels with money and atutunnitiOn, and thus endeavour to keep alive the (mina's of an expiring insurrection. If, lien ever, the accounts from Spain by this ton vecarce are to be relied oa, there is little to fear from the French, as it is stated that Spain has now 490,001) men in arms, 100,0311 of which are of the line. Brussels papers to the :NI instant brought yesterday letters from Corfu of the 4th ultimo, which report the surrender of Napoli di Romania, and state that the.Paidia of Arta has been defeated. Accounts from Tiflis, via Odessa, mate that the Persians are negociating with the Turks, and that a Treaty of Peace is on the point of be. ing concluded. A serious difference has arisen between the itetsency of Algiers and the. United States of America inconse quence of a mistake relative to etiquette. T he Ameri can Consul, taking a ride oa horseback ont of the gate of t h e c ity, " m et the Ago, (or Chief Minister). The custom in such a rase is to alight and suffer the Minister to pass. The Consul. however, ignorant of this custom, rode on ; he was immediately attacked, pulled from hi s horse. and very ill treated. He demanded satisfaction for this outrage, vt hid. the Ley refused. The Consul, in consequence, drew op an account of the insult tellich he bail received, caused it to lie signed by several Euro- pean Consuls, and embarked the next day for-Mahon. An extraortlinaty courier arrived yesterday afternoen from St. Petersburg to the 211th ult. By this conveyance letters have been received wide.' state that all the vessels had succeeded in making their passagej from Cronstadt before the closing of the ice ; except the] four following vessels:—The Maria, Dauntless, London,: and I no.—The Exchange had expel ienced I slight ad.'. entice. being at 10 1-32.—The Isillowiag. seas posted at Lloyd's yesterday afternoon:— " St. Petersburg, 4th (lath) Nov.

As yet we have not touch ice is this vicinity, being detained by the contrary winds. In the Little Neva there is a good deal, and below on the Bar and the shal lows it is forming. Should the frost not abate, it is doubtful it all the vessels loading will Ott away. The wind here is south, so that vessels may yet sail from Constadt if the Channel beiree of ice. Ilse weather bore is cloudy, and now likely to fall."

FALM01:111 PACIETI.—We ara at length able to state, that as far as the decision of his Majesty's Ministers may be so considered. the question so long agitated respecting the direction of the Falmouth Packets. is, at length, finally settled. The following communication has been received at Falmouth, from the highest official authority. " The Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's T have determined on the expediency of transferring the au. perintendence of the Falmouth Post-Offiee Packets, to the Board of Admiralty," but " that no alteration will be made in regard to the Mallon from %%Weil those Packets now sail. That the ordinary refining of the Packets of Falmouth will continue as heretofore, and thst the Navy Board will adopt all the present contracts, and will continue the persons now employed. It Is understood that the first building of the Packets has not heretofore been wholly coufined to Fal mouth, and in future, it will probably take place, (at least is the time of peace), la the King's Deck Yards."
