CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

Advices, dated in Paris on Monday afternoon,
were received early this morning.; hut only a part of their con-
tents were made public. On that day the French Rentes are re-
,' ported to have been done at 85 ; afterwards they advanced to
(36.75.; at which price they continued until the close of themarket,
when large purchases were made by a powerful interest, and a
farther improvement in their value was the consequence. The
last prices were understood to have been 87f. 10c. for cash,
being only a decline of 20c. from the quotations of Saturday.
Purchases were also made for the end of the month, at 87. 45.
The gentleman who received this express is understoOd to have
acted on its contents, and the chances of the continuance of
peace are no doubt increased by the improvement which
took place in the Paris Funds. The extensive opera-
tions, however, of many Fundholders, and the numerous ex-
presses which pass betwixt London and Paris, render it diffi-
cult, if not dangerous, to form any decided opinion on
this most • momentous subject, from the value of public secu-
rities in Paris, where they are so easily acted on, and
where purchases or sales of no great magnitude cad, pro-
duce considerable fluctuation. It was reported that Viscount
MolurmonEwcY, the French Ultra Minister at Verona, had
been on Monday elevated to a Dukedom, after a six hours'
conference with the Minister VILLELE. This promotion has
any thing but a pacific appearance. It is a reward for his
successful negotiation, and a complete approval of his conduct
in his important embassy.
.1n the mean time a gentleman, who
arrived this morning from France, states, that French troops
are marching from all directions towards the Spanish frontier.
Should hostilities commence, these invaders will possibly enter
Spain, but most probably few of them will ever return.
Consols for the January account, 'which closed yesterday at
79i, opened this morning at 79i, and were speedily run up to
80, on account of the reported advance which bad taken place in
Paris. Some west end of the town brokers, however, created a
panic by the extent of their sales, and a decline, more rapid than
the advance, was the consequence. They fell to 78i, and had
an extremely gloomy appearance until the Bulls rallied their
forces, and by powerful exertions again advaced the value to
791 Before the closing of the Stock Exchange, however, the
operations became extremely languid, and the closing price of
the day was 79a being,about per cent. higher than they
were yesterday. Oil the whole the news in the city this day did
not add any thing to what was previously known.
In Foreign European Securities very few transactions have
taken place, and the alarm created by the present unsatisfac-
tory state of public affairs has not so far subsided as to encourage
any extensive operations in any description of them. Some few
sales were made of the French Rentes by timid holders, at from
87 to Bbi.
The following are the-comparative importations of different
articles up to the 3d Dec. in the two last years, :—Hemp from St.
Petersburgh, 11,534 tons ; Riga, 1,639 ; It lian, 5,714, in 1822.
Do. from St. Petersburgh, 4,441 tons ; Riga, 607, in 1821.—1 n
1821, the total quantity of Hemp received was 6,762 tons from
St. Petersburgh ; 1,177 from Riga; and 534 from Italy. On the
3d December, 1822, the arrivals of Tallow amounted to 52,702
casks, and 343 serons. ,On the 3d December, 1821, the quantity
of Tallow received was 47,854 casks, and 499 serons. During
the whole of 1821, the importation of Tallow amounted to
66,204 casks, and 499 serons. To render the importation'of this
season therefore equal to that of 1821,-will require a further arri-
val of 13,502 casks' and 156 serons. In 1822, on the 3d December,
the arrivals of Tar from Stockholm amounted to 17,477 barrels ;
from Archangel, 7,300; and from America, 5,197. In the whole
•of 1821, there were received from Stockholm 15,179 ; from
Archangel, 6,095 ; and from America, 3,426 barrels. To the 3d
December, 1822, the arrivals of Bristlei amount fo 1,621 casks,
and the whole iniport of this article in 1821 was only 1,344 casks.
About 7,500 casks of American Ashes have been received this
season, which is nearly the same as the importation of last year.
Pot are however 20, and Pearl 15 per cent. dearer than last
season.

On the Corn Exchange since Monday,lhe arrivals of grain
hive been considerable. They amount to 4,800 qrs. of Wheat,
4,500 quarters of Barley, 8,600 qrs. of Oats, and 5,100 sacks of
Flour: Every article is fully as dear, and the holders of Wheat
are more firm, excepting that an alteration din the politics of
Europe will increase the value of agricultural produce. Fine
Malting Barley is free sale at 365. 'to 375. a quarter. The dis-
tillers are expected to use inferior Wheat when they have ex-
haused their present Stocks. In many instances the factors did
not exhibit their Wheat samples for sale: The prices are ex-
tremely low, and they consider grain an article worth the atten-
tion of the capitalist should the Public Funds continue to de-
cline in value.-(Morning Chronicle.)

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]

CITY, Twelve o'clock.—Consols opened this
morning at 79 -} for the Account. Soon after
it was known that an express had arrived from
Paris bringing the French Funds 87 f. 20c. upon
which our Funds rose to 79 -is 21. A short time
after another express arrived, which left Paris
Tuesday afternoon, at the close of the French
Funds, and brought them 86 f. 80c.—Six ex-
presses had arrived in the above Capital
from London, with the fall of our Funds,

upon which various reports were put in circu-
lation. The private accounts from the above
capital state that Lord WELLINGTON was hourly
expected ; and that the King of FRANCE would
not decide on the fate of Spain until he had an in-
terview with his Lordship ; it is also further stat-
ed, that the affairs of Spain were to be left to the

arbitration of his Lordship.—The Foreign All"
ket opened this morning at 49f. New Span"
went up to 502, and afterwards lowered again t°
494. Columbian Bonds have experienced 3
great depression, owing to a private letter from
the above Capital.

We have given copious extracts from the Pare
Papers of Monday, under the usual bead."'
They consist chiefly of speculations on the 40"
like article in the Moniteur ; and it is remark
able, that while the Constitutionnel obviously
tertains gloomy forebodings from the lowvl3
opposition of England to the designs of France upon
Spain,none of the other Journals, even those which
were the most clamorous for a war, seem to view
its near approach with feelings of exultation!
The uncertainty which must prevail as to the
course which will be followed by Great Drilla°
is alone sufficient to damp the ardour and to,Pl°-
derate the language of the war party in France;
and the same cause cannot fail to increase the

fears and the repugnance of those Who 113`e
throughout contended for the continuance °`r
r
peace. In the meanwhile, the preparations
hostility are vigorously carrying forward on Igt;
sides of the Pyrennees ; and in the opinion 6" t
parties no long time will elapse before the fill
sounds of the cannon will be heard on the fr°P.

The present state of Europe affords abundant

In our Paper of the 28th ult. we ventured lt
