It is to be observed, that although Consols have
teen done 78% for account, they bare not been
under 79i E:r money, at any time this day.
Tlve orders, both town and country, for purchases
of meney i.tock, continue to tow in.

Spanialsbasbeen dons at 371—but the declara-
tion of two jobbers, not indeed of the Miscovy
breed, but still of magnitude sufficient to affect the
market, brought Spanish down to SS. The market
has, however, rallied, and the present price of
Spanish Bondsis 35146—market excellent. The
quantity of actual money purchaaes to-day, has
been unpreeelented. This is attributable, to the
unprecedented difficulty experienced by the Bears,
in obtaining bonds at almost any price, foe delivery
to the Bull►—whose demapds eau no longer be

Colomhian stands in • situation similar—the
atuney buyers insisting en delivery. Hence,
these bonds have advanced from 63i to 661—not-
withstanding which, the supply is inadequate to
the demand for delivery. •
Letters from Rio Janeiro of the Bleb of February
reptment a considerable degree of distract to prevail
among the public generally, as to the design* of the
new Imperial Court, which is suspected of certain
legitimate propensities, not over-favourable to the
interests. or integrity of the Constitution,. If any
attempt to restore, or rather to continue, despotic
power, be exhibited, great confusion, it is said, will
take place, there being a strong party for a republic,
mid many of the provinees mese than half inclined
to liresk,off the ionnettion with Rio Janeiro, and to
am emit npoit its own bottom. The installation of
Uraemia's Was looked for on the 264 of February,

lue& the birth of a grand-daughter, on the 17th
otf Felintary ; and, perhaps, besides that formal ob-
ject, to feel the pulse of the Cabinet of Vienna,
touching • recognition of the independence of Brazil
upon the mother country. Portugal being now in
bed odour with .the Holy Alliance, the time has
probably not been ill-chosen fir such a diplomatic
experiment.—We have received a copy of a Go-
vernment pmchunstien, tis rather address, to the
Brazilians, the team* of which serroborates the in-

telligence transmitted by the private letters. In
other respects, it is only remarkable for its declama-
tion against those who are supposed to be inimical
to the measures of " Pedro, the incomparable hero,
the perpetual defender, the demigod of Brasil."
The parties in opposition to she Government are
characterised as " Carbowari," and " partisans of
the disorganising Cortes of Lisbon." It is asserted
that Deputies are daily arriviag from the provinces,
and that the Constituent Assembly will soon be in-
stalled, notwithstanding that the vile calumniators
continue to my that " the Emperor and his Minis-
ters are darts—that they want no constitution,
and that if one be framed, it will be something to
snit themselves."
Exttact of a private letter float Constantinople,
dated March 1.0. 1823..—" A curious paper is wad
to have been lately presented to tire Sultan. This
paper or document is nothing less than a writing
which was found by s guardian of the tomb at
Mecca, to whom Maltomet apleared at midnight,
whilst he was reading the Koran near the tomb;
the Prophet had. made him widersti nd, the ob-
ject of his appearance, by telling him how mush
the misconduct of his people had troubled him, he
observed that since the late commotion' 70,000 of
his people had' gone into the other world, out of
which number only seven individuals had been
found faithful ; that the remainder, by their neglect
of prayers, giving themselves up to' luxurious plea-
sures want of care of she poor,. and indifference
towards the Ullintalis, or Heads of she Faith had
thee forfeited his regard mut intercession ! The
paper then continues deploring this fallen Mate of
his dock, and predicting several evens which are to
occur. such st. the disappearance of the stun, mis-
conduct of the women, loss of the Koran, and con-
cludes with a mandate, that this warning be copied

throughout the Ottoman Empire. This is likewise
to have the double effect of giving fresh vigour to
their endeavours to put down their enemies, a mere
rigid performance of their religious duties, as well
is to keep them from molesting, the unoffending.--
Tbe guardian of the tomb was directed by Mahomet
to 'forward the paper to the Sultan. The event to

The election of officers of the grand ledge of free-•
masons for the ensuing year, took place on Thurs-
day last at Freemasor&-hall,where a greater number
of the brethren of the order assembled than has
been known for many years on a similar oecasion.—
His siloyal Highness the Duke of Sussex was, for
the twenty-fifth time elected Giand Master.—
Neerly five-hundred masonic brothers, among whom
were the Dukes of Athol and Leitister, several'
noblemen and provincial grand masters, sat down to
en excellent dinner. The company, as well as a
number of elegantly dressed ladies io the gallery,
were entertained by some admired sorep,• catches;
and glees, by several professiotial gentlemen.--
Brother Attwood presided at thejsespeishorg. His
Royal Highness was in excellent Itesith and spirits,
and largely contributed to theant'Priedity and har-
mony of the meeting.
Opinions have recently dhlge

Lament, and circumstance, have occurred, that show
our political connection with die Holy Alliance is
much greater than is generally. imagined. .This
must lead to embarrassment- with respect to the

Austria, Itusia,and Psuasis, and theattention shown

served at Levees and Drawing-rooms must, of

diversity of opinion on - Imports'st subjects in the
courtly and asissisterialuircies, and must prevent
them, we imagine, fsodi being held se often as they
otherwise would.
On Wednesday and Thursday *most interesting
cesemony was performed by various ladies of dis-
tinetion at the 'Cmven and Anchor Tavern, in pro-
motion of the London Society for promoting
Christianity among the Jews. The room was fitted
up in a neat style, and stalls were placed round the
room, so as to give the place the appearance of a
Bazaar, on which were placed fanciful articles of
various descriptions; such as dolls' bedsteads, pin-
anibleas, fame, purses, scissors, reticules, baby linen,
lac. thelproductiona of the objecteef the Society in
the country. The ladies who attended are friends•
to the institution, and sat each day from 12 to five
orclock, during which period 700 to 1000 persons
visited the room, consisting of ladistand gentlemen,
who did not confine themselves to the mere value of
the trifling article, but paid roand saws; order
to contribute to the funds of the charity. The
'ladies *were elegantly attired, and exerted every
effort to gain customers to the shop, and they did
not fail in their object. The satiety was established
in the year 1809, and since that.peried has met with
considerable success. The seriptures have 'ban
widely disseminated among this class of persons, the
effect of which has been very great. The product of'
the articles disposed of will afford extensive means
to the funds of the institution. It was pleasing to
witness so much beauty and splendour uniting their
efforts• in the promotion of so desirable and 'charitable
en object.
An official account was exhibited on Ftidayst the
Foreign Stock Exchange, of the proceedings that
have taken place in Chili., relative to the ?nun con-
cluded in this country. The Supreme Director,
O'Higgins, immediately ceded provisionally to the
House of Representatives, mil the control over the
money which might have belonged to him as head
of the executive power, until a national bank shall
be. established, the managers of which would be

the money, ad interest, in the Treasury of the Mint,
at the sole disposal of the-houses.-
PARDSAMENDAiIi Resorts...-From a comparison
of the minorities on Lord John Russell's three mo-
tiens for Parliamentary Reform, it appears that of
the 124 members who supported that question in
1.821, there are 10 whose names do not appear in
either of the subsequent divisions.. and that of the
164 in 1822, 27 (besides two paired ofF), were not
in the division of 1823; so that ma less than 208
members of the present House of Commons have,
