CITY,. MONDAY EVENING.

The Consols, which closed on Saturday at
nearly 80, opened this morning at 80, advanced to 80ii, and
a good deal of business was done in them. This improvement
was occasioned by the, contents of the Paris Papers of Friday,
received last night, and by farther information which came to
hand early this morning by a private express, dated on Saturday
evening. These accounts naturally have induced the Fund-
holders to place greater reliance on the continuation of peace
betwixt Spain and France ; because they intimate circum-
stances, which, if true, must compel the Ultra Ministers of
France t 6 change entirely their
_policy, in as faad as the liberties
of the Peninsula are interested. 'The expected neutrality of
England suited well their hopes to make as easy a conquest of
Spain as Austria did of Naples, and that object once gained,
then the restoration of the pure religion of the 13th and
14th centuries, and the debasement of the human mind
would have been necessary consequences. The altered charac-
ter, however, of the foreign diplomacy of England has caused
the French Ministers, selected from the old Noblesse, to
pause, before they involve in ruin the HQUSC of BOURBON,
barbarism, and themselves—for the three are completely de-
pendent on each other. The chief cause, however, for the im-
provement in the British funds, is a very current rumour, of
which the confirmation is exceedingly probable. The French
army, intended for the destruction of civil liberty in Spain, is
reported to have exhibited a spirit very hostile to the designs of
the French Government. The French Army has, it is re-
ported, displayed their feelings in a manner which cannot be
mistaken. When the vagabonds, smugglers, and disappointed
Priests, called, sacrilegiously, the Army of the Faith, were
driven by the illustrious General MINA out of his country,
polluted by their presence, into that of Frenchmen, they were
attacked by a French regiment, and two hundred of them
fell before the interference of the officers could gain for the re-
mainder either hospitality or protection. The whole of the
army, assembled on the frontiers, is represented to be possessed
with the same spirit. The idea, that Mr. CANNING will on
this occasion spew the British Empire in the majesty of her
power, as the friend of knowledge and of human prosperity, has
given great confidence this day to the Speculators in National
Securities. England will not tamely submit to incroachments
by France on the liberties of her Allies.

A great deal of business was this day done in the Spanish
Bonds of 1821, and they have improved betwixt five and six
per cent. since the end of last week. The idea of peace has
also raised the Russian Scrip fully 2 per cent. The French
Rentes are exceedingly dull.—Colombian Bonds are 2 per cent.
dearer, and in demand.

Since this day week there issa large arrival of grain at Mark-
lane, chiefly consisting of the farmers' supplies. Of Wheat,
the quantity pp is 13,436 qrs. ; of Barley, 10,331 qrs. ; Malt,
10,506 qrs. ; Oats, 19,109, with 9,575 qrs. of Oats from Ire-
land. No less,than 16,811 sacks of Flour have also been added
to the quantity previously remaining unsold. Wheat is very
brisk sale, and prices are fully 2s. a quarter dearer, occasioned
chiefly by the prospect of the peace of Europe being disturbed.
In other descriptions of grain there is no alteration. Fine Malt-
ing Barley is quite as dear, but the distillers do not purchase
the inferior samples. The large supply of Oats renders this
article rather dull sale.—( Morning Chronicle.)

DUE L.-A meeting took place yesterday evening (Friday
the 6th inst.) a short distance below Bray, between F. Fergu-
son and Gabriel Stokes, Esqrs., when, after an exchange of
shots, the business terminated amicably. Surgeons Carmi-
chael and Kerin attended professionally.--( Dublin Freeman's
Journal.)

of peace or war,—in favour of peace ! Wheth
this Journal speaks from authority or not, ho'c'

France which was bent upon the invaiion °
Spain has begun to calculate with some degree
of coolness the perils of the enterprise on whic

it was but lately so eager to embark. The In“lse
which has taken place will doubtless be less Pr°-

convulsions which a hostile attack on the

morning, we experienced a slight shock of an
earthquake in the direction of the E.S.E. The
shock was more felt in the houses built of stone,
but it was not strong" enough to throw them
down. On the 25th, at three o'clock in the
morning, the same was experienced at Sulz,
'which was followed at five o'clock in the morn-

some houses.

HAGUE, DEC,
,G.—. Accounts from.Erankfort say, that the
Austrian Government had received news of a-recent date from
Turkey, saying that the state of Constantinople becomes daily
snore alarming. -In Pens, where. the Ambassador was, great
aPprehensions were entertained, since the publication of the
Order of the Sultan, by which all the Turks arc again sum-
'Mooed to take up arms.
Letters froM'Odesa say, that the Persian army, which had
advanced as Tar is Erguum, had, been obliged to retreat for
want of provisions. It was also reported ' that troubles had
broken out in the southern provinces of Persia, and that
the Court of Teheran had need of troops to restore tranquil-
lity. Letters from Verona of' the 22d ult. say, that Ministers
of the great Powers have been constantly 'occupied in their. last

We cannot but express our surprise and indig-
nation at the ahuSe and ridicule with which cer-
tain ..einti,Royascribblers are constantly assailing
his MAJESTY. Indeed seldom a day passes with-
out something of that' disgusting nature. We
are a loyal People, and therefore it is impossible
that such offensive articles can be satisfac-
tory to Readers in general. The writers
alluded to can only draw upon themselves
the just punishment of contempt and neglect.=
We cannot but express mir surprise also at the
continual abuse which the same writers pour
Upon the late Marquis of LONDONDERRY. That
abuse is as'absurd as It is illiberal and unjust.—
Can the N% rite rs suppose that, in the foreign and
domestic policy of the British Government, the
karquis was left to the uncontrouled exercise of
is own single judgment? The supposition would
14volve a deep censure upon Ministers in general,
*llO might justly be deemed ignorant and effete
indeed, if they could place so much confidence
ill any individual, however enlightened by know-
ledge and experience, or however actuated by
loyalty, rectitude, and patriotism. The Marquis
of LONDONDERRY could only offer his opinion on
th 7 general state of affairs, and the true policy
the, British Government, and' however solid
his opinion might be, it was no doubt sufficiently
balanced and weighed by the Cabinet in general,
and he could only act in conformity to the judg-
ment of the whole. We repeat, therefore, that
4 contrary supposition is a libel upon Ministers,
far submitting the national policy to one of
their Members, and even upon his MAJESTY,
far suffering an Administration to remain in office
Who had so little dependence on their own judg-
Illent, and who paid such unlimited homage to
that of one of their body.

Extract from the Sierra Leone Gazelle, of 2d June, 1822.)
• '`
By H. B. M. ship, Myrmidon, on Monday last, we re-
ceived the distressing inforination of the loss of one of the
Spanish prizes, the Ycanam, of Havannah, taken in the Bonny,
1211 board of which, melancholy to, relate, nearly four hun-
eted slaves, and - sixteen seamen of the Iphigenia perished !
...•'The Officers in charge, Messrs. Betty and Doughty, are
v happily among the number ot the sufferers. At the time
01,13 dreadful catastrophe occurred, the Ycanam was in sight
10,914 Myrmidon ; and from the violence of the tornado, in
14"lch she was upset, any assistance was totally impossible ;
thed we understand the first intimation Capt. Leeke had of
e fact, was from the boat of the Ycanam, which he picked up.
2dr days afterwards, at sea, with seven seamen, who had mi-
elilously saved themselves from the wreck.—When the ex-
..llftlation, which is now being. taken by the Commodore, is
:.4.lpleted, we shall have the painful duty of publishing further
'"ltieulars respecting this truly heart-rending event."

-tl.st have thought that the British Government would interfere
