friend of CORBETT with a white hat, nor is the matter
worthy of public notice.

[FROM A CORRESPONDEKT:]

CITY, Twelve o'clock.—Consols opened this
itorning at 792 1., and were done at 4 and-;,.
An Express arrived from Paris this morning,
bringing the French Funds at 87f. 50c. ; but up
to this hour we do not hear that the above Ex-
, press brings any information of consequence. In
the Foreign Market there has been a good deal
of business doing in New Spanish and Colmobian
Bonds, which fluctuate continually in their prices.

The Foreign journals received since our las
are unusually barren of intelligence. In the
awful pause before the final resolution of the
trench Cabinet respecting Spain, we are not even
furnished with speculations of any interest on
the probable causes which may still influence the
decision,—on the political motives which may
even yet avert hostilities,—or on the comparative
strength and chances of success possessed by
the two great parties to a war, in the
event of its breaking out. A kind of stupor
,seems to have seized the faculties of political
writers ; and in the uncertainty which continues
to hang over the question, they appear to be
not only incapable of anticipating its result,
but of taking a Statesman-like view of the
consequences which may arise, if the peace
of Europe shall be disturbed. We are not
Without hope that the energy of Great
Britain may even yet give a desirable pre-
ponderance to the friends of repose in the Coun-
cils of France, and that by the unequivocal ma-
tifestation of a resolution to make common cause
with Spain, if persuasives should be found inef-
fectual, the English Government will compel
Prance to yield them that deference which was
refused to their wishes at Verona. The present
situation of Europe has given another and
-an irresistible proof of the truth of the pro-
position, that the interests of England will be
-secure in proportion to the degree of freedom
,possessed by the Continental Nations. Three
or four Sovereigns, invested with unlimited
power, may at any time unite with facility
to her prejudice; and if the whole of the
Continent be either under their immediate do-

minion, or in part parcelled out amongst Go-
vernment. dependent upon them for protection,
it is obvious that their hostile confederacy 'mist
be destructive of her prosperity and power. On
the other hand, in proportion to the popular form
and spirit whicl, may be communicated and in-
stilled into the Continental Governments, must
be the difficulty of uniting them for any coin-

Thon purpose, not clearly demonstrated to be
for the equal advantage of all. The per-
sonal ambition or aggrandizement of absolute
Monarchs may be gratified by enterprises which
are very far from being conducive to the real in-
terests or happiness of their subjects. If the
latter, therefore, have any important share in the
direction of their own affairs, it is scarcely pos-
