themselves with the cloak of religion in pointing out the ultramon-

In proportion as the truth comes to light we lose the little hope ,
which reniah,ed of preserving a small part of our transmarine pos-
session*. Official despatcher' were received a few days ago, which
have thrown ottr Ministry into consternation. M. Pinillos, the
new Intendant of the Hatrannah, has written from the United
States, whets he has stopped in his way to his destination. He
announces, rot only to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, but
to the King himself, that the naval and military prepare-
tions, which are now malting in Colombia and Mexico, are
so considerable that it must be concluded as impossible long to de-
fend the isle of Cuba and that of Porto Hie° against the attacks
which app.ar to be manifested against them. The hostile force will
also find a powerful auxiliary in the elements of discord which pre-
vail in the interior, and in the fermentation which the republican
spirit excites. The report of M. Pinillos says also, that the fears
which these preparations inspire must extend beyond the colonies
which have remained faithful to the mother country. Spain itself
ought to be on its guard. Next spring the enemy will not confine
h nt<tlf to privmeering war; a landing on the coasts where the
discontent is the most general may very likely take place, and aug-
ment the embarrassment of the Government. In short, the picture
which lie draws is most alarming, and has cached the most serious
uneasiness. It is remarked that the conferences between the King
and the Duke del Infant:trio have since been 'ter); frequent.

It was but the other day that the public were informed,
through the medium of the Morning Herald, that " the
Barra or ENGLAND had refused, for the last three week:,
to discount any Boorseccsa's Bill"—while the same
Paper of yesterday stye, " In our opinion it is folly to
praise the Bank for being liberal in its discounts; it
ought rather to bo censured. At present, what an encou-
ragement does the Bank hold forth to gambling !" What !
censure the Bank for being liberal in its discounts, at the
very same time that it is affirmed to have rejn-.tel the hills
of one entire class of traders_aPti that a class, too, well
known to be as weal. 4-4, as respectable, and of course as
solvent, as any east can be named with it. If the fact is to
be bled that the Bank refused to disccunt their bills,
and if the cause assigned for its having set done be true, viz.
" the depressed state of the bookselling trade," it would
seem that the Directors, so far from being censurable for
their liberality, make a very minute inquiry, in every in-
stance, into the concerns of ezcli trade, and ascertain not
only which is in a declining state and which is not, but to
what special and peculiar causes that decline is owing.
The Herald, for example, tells the world that " this state
of things"—that is, the annihilation of the booksellers'
credit with the Bank, and the falling off of their business,
was occasioned by the refusal of the respectable Newspapers
to insert their 'errs without the word " Advertise:ant."
Now, the Bank or England, if we assume it as true that
their bills wens thrown out, must have previously ac-
illta4llo itselc,tot only with the declining; state of the
bwvlorbiat' suit the particular cause which occasioned
It; 114.; this alone could have warranted so marked a
stigma-, For the same Journal, therefore, to charge the
Bank with being so lavish in its discounts as to hold forth
au encouragement to the spirit of gambling, and to desire
the public, in its own Cockney phraseology, to " see what
amiss-the BANK or ENGLAND ha: BROUGHT A 1101.7," is
to hold).• language equally at variance with common tense
and with itself. But thus it is that falsehood arrays'
flounders, and that, in the end, it never fails to expose its
own malign i ty.

The weather seemed to affect the Money Markets, for
there was but little elasticity about them to-day. Consols,
! after having been done at 84, settled down to 84, sellers,
and closed at 841. Exchequer Bills were 9s. 7s. discount.
The business in the English Fonds was uninteresting,
and in the absence of information a report was circulated
relative to an intended issue of one-pound notes by the
Bank ; we allude to it merely to contradict it. There
never was a more groundless rumour. The few money
bargains that were done in the Reduced Annuities were at
82;e.

curities in the early pert of the day, and the prices of
them centrally gave way. Greek Bonds were 17 18;
Spanish ditto 13; Danish ditto 61. South American
Stocks maintaimal themselves rather better than the other
Stcuritics this morning, and confidence in them we think,
front an the facts that we are acquainted with respecting
them, trust shortly return. Colombian Bonds were 6441;
Mexican Six per Cents 6416; Guatemala Scrip 12 10 ;
anti Bri-zilian ditto 133 dis.
T re was a plentiful supply of grain, of all kinds, n
Mat k-lane, and the quotations rather lower.

The Gibraltar Chronicle received yesterday states that
the fever on the opposite coast bad arrived at such a dreadful
height, that the inhabitants were falling dead in the streets.
A subscription had been opened at Gibraltar fur the suf-
ferers it Tangier.
The Bogota Gazette of the 15th September contains a
letter front General Sucre, dated Chuquisaca, 24th May.
It states that every thing was quiet in the five provinces of
Upper Peru. The General stated that lie intended to pro-
ceed on the 30th to Cochabamba, and thence to La Paz, to
meet the Liberator, who was expected to arrive there early
in June. Bolivar, however, on the Bth of June, was at
Arequipa. The letter which be wrote from that place, on
heer:ng of the recognition of Colombian independence by
Gnat Britain, Las already been laid before the.publie.
We have received letters and papers from Jamaica to the
21s• of October. The merchants connected with that island I
entertained great fears that the hurricane at Aux Cayes
would have extended to Jamaica. The gale appears to
have been severe, but the damage done is not extensive.
It did not amount to a hurricane. The island was rather
un!,;..ilthy, hut the rains had been very serviceable to
the c• ps.. The Kingston Papers mention the capture
of the notorious slave, Good Hope Harry, after a des-
perate resistance, in the woods of Hampden Moun-
tain. Ile was one of the
.principals in the late insur-
rection. The dates from Bogota are to the 14th of Sep-
tember, and from Carthagena to the 7th of October. There
was no intelligence of any interest or recent arrival from
Peru. The House of Assembly were to meet for the
despatch of business on the Ist of November. 'f he Royal
George, from Bombay, whence she sailed on the 28th of
July, was lying at the Cape, bound to England, and his
Majesty's ship Ariadne, from the hlauritius.
We have received Cape of Good Hope Papers to the 26th
September. The Enterprize steam vessel had not arrived ; '
at that date she was forty days Gut item the English Chan-
nel. These papers mention that coal had been found in a
rich tract of laud between the rivers Gam toor and Kromme.
There is a Proclamation in these Papers (inserted by or-
ders of the Cape Governor) by Ratlama, King of Mada-
gascar, in which his Majesty states the great reliect he en-
' tertairs for the English nation, and intimates he will allow
a trade with the town of hlazingay, and the bay and har-
bours of Boantock, on the most favourable term., and holds
out every inducement to settlers in his dominions. The
inhabitants of Van Diemen's Land are stated to have sent
strong remonstrances to England, to mike the: ;:sentry the
seat of a sepsrate government.

[From the Doily dated Sunday.]
The Journals of the Opposition endeavour to compare the fall
of our funds with that of the English funds. and to deny the influ-
ence which the financial crisis in England must titceisaarily exercise
over the quotations of the French funds. These Journals appear
to be ignorant that the English hold nearly twenty millions of
Renter in the French Five per Cents., and finer six minima in the
Three per Cents. These Renter represent six to seven millions of
capital which are realizable audeasure by England upon the Paris
Exchange, but fortunately only at the quotations of the public
funds. In order to prevent these quotations from giving way, in
consequence of the financial crisis in London, it would be tweet- ,
say ?hat French capital should be ready to replace that which
England had withdrawn from the Paris Exchange. This was not
the case. Every attempt made to sell at prices beyond the ordinary
proportions caused the quotations to fall, and took away all interest
to realise money for Hendon by the sale of French tanda in Paris.
It is thus that is explained the reaction of the financial situation or
Hendon upon the French Fonda. It is thus that is demonstrated
the ignorance of those daily declaimers who wish to represent as
the result of a 'lititsterial fault the inevlable consequence of the
possession of our ltentea by foreign capitalists, and as a public
calamity the temporary fall in the funds, which it the only possible
obstacle to prevent foreigners:id moments of difficulty, from trans-
porting to their own countries the disposable resources which are
necessary for ourselves.
The fall in such case compels foreign holders to transfer at lota
prices their stock to French holders, as long as there are any to
take them ; and when the Inclination or the means of purchase are
wanting to such persons, it becomes necessary to the others to re.
nounce their projects of replization, which a more marked depres.
sion and the want of buyers have checked. We will not conclude
without directing public attention to a comparison which has not
been made by those to whom we are now replying.
In England the Bank has had embarrassments, and in order to
prevent their augmentation the discounts have been limited. The
public treasury hashed difficultiee for the payment of its Exchequer
Bills, and the holden have consented to renew them. Here the
Bank has supplied all the wants which have been manifested, anti
it has still the means of supplying much larger if they should
occur. The Journals of the Opposition have gone so far as to ad.
vise the fielders or bank-notes to_glaim their reimbursement. Here
the Treasury had no want, and supported an insignificant floating
debt by issuing less than a third of the Royal Bonds which it was
authorised to create for its exigency : yet the Opposition has not
ceased to endeavour td briog discredit on the public funds to such
an extent as to induce the -holders of Revues to rush to the Ex.
change to effect sales at any price.
This comparison is useful to complete the appreciation of the
situations, resources, and disposition's of the two countries.
General Boyer, President of Hayti, has lost one of his daughters.
aged twenty-one yeetrs, of whom he was very fond. Wishing to
sitrrender himself entirely to the Indulgence of his grief, he quitted
Port-au.Prince and retired to the country. In creasing the seas,
this news her becomes plot of the negroes against the people of
colour. This rumour having had currency given to it by a Jour-
nal, found some credit, but we now know to what credit it is en-
titled. The event which we have stated above is the only cir.
cumstance of importance mentioned in the last correspondence from
St. Domingo.
