MOST IMPORTANT.
SUN OFFICE, One o'clock.—Our warmest hopes
of the preservation of peace seem to be realized.
Since the
_preceding articles were written, we
have received the following communication from

our City Correspondent: There can be little
doubt respecting the truth of his principal

statement, viz.—that the French Cabinet -has
at- length DECIDED in favour of Peace !! !
All speculation on this vital subject, therefore,
may perhaps be considered as at an end. Most
heartily do we• congratulate our Readers, the
British Public, and the Civilized World on a re-
suit so gratifying to humanity :
STOCK ExCILANGE, licif-p'ast Twelve o'.Clock.-
-A great bustle and confusion took place in the
above Market this Morning, in consequence of
the -pacific information from Paris: Consols
opened at 81, went up to 81 t- 4, after which a
private letter was exhibited in the StoCk Ex-
change, dated Paris, Thursday, five o'clock in
the, afternoon, saying that there had been a
report there that the Duke de MONTMORENCY
had resigned, but that it was not believed. This
letter had the effect of damping the above Mar-
ket, and a great number of Brokers 'would not
believe the important information from Paris.—
Seven Expresses have arrived early this morning
from the above Capital, and about 11 o'clock two
More arrived, but they cannot have brought later
accounts than the former ones. A private letter
by one. Express states that on Monday a Privy
Council was held, at which DE VILLELE had high
words with MONTMPRENCY an' COUBILtt the for-
mer was.decidedly on the KING'S side, for peace,
and the two latter for war, with Spain. We are in-
'formed that the French Papers of Thursday do
n•
ot mention the resignation of MoNTmoucscir.
Nevertheless there is not the slightest doubt of
the truth of the important decision of the Coun-
cil at Paris on Wednesday evening for peace;
and the well informed on 'Change give implicit
-credit to it. The French Funds on Thursday
left off 881. 35c., but were done in the course of
•that day at 88f. 90c. ,

FOREIGN FUNDS.—In consequence of the de-
cision of the French. Council for peace with
Spain, Spanish Bonds opened this morning at 571
were done at 571, went down again to 57 562,
rose again to 577 at which price they are up to
this hour.

Germail Papers arrived this forenoon : the
following is the only Article worthy of notice :
FRANtrowr, DECEMBER. 22.—The Algenzeine Zeitung,
of the 18th of December, speaks of a new Austrian Loan
but in so incorrect a manner, that it 'were to be wished that the
Editor derived his information from more authentic sources.—
We know from good authority, that the Minister of Finance
at Vienna, has not applied to the Merchants of Frankfort for
this opetation. • After a transaction, which he has made with
.the National Bank of Austria, relative to the re-payment of
• the paper currency, called Einlosungs Schein; a transaction
which must tend to raise the value of the Bank Shares.
The Minister invited Messrs. Frees and Co., Armstein and
Eskelis, and Baron Solomon Rothschild, residing at Vienna,
to submit prOposals on the 31st 'Dec. to take upon, at a fixed
rate, 30 millions of bonds in metalliques, at 5 per cent. to be
delivered and paid in the years 1823, 24, 25, and 26, at deter-
mined periods. Till it is known that the Minster of Finance
finds the proposals acceptable, it cannot be said that the loan
Will take place, and it is very possible that the want of the
Imperial Treasury may be provided for in another manner.
But if the above sum should be really issued, it cannot
sensibly affect the price of the Austian Er per cent. metalliques,
since only six millions of florins will be put into circulation in
1823 ; 12 millions in 1824 ; and the same sum in 1826."

[FROM AN AMERICAN PAPER.]
By the schooner Felix, at Charleston on the
• ad inst. in five days from Havanna, we learn that
the English frigate Hyperion, LILLYCROP, with
an English, schooner in company arrived at
Havanna on the 20th ult. and sailed again on
the 27th for Cape Antonia, in search of pirates.
The Hyperion, it is said, is intended for the
iiavanna station, and would shortly he joined by
-six new schooners from England, but for the
purpose of cruising for pirates along the Coast
of Cuba.

By a courier which left Cadiz on the 18th
instant, letters from thence of that date have
been received, and of the 16th from Madrid.
As they were dispatched chiefly for com-
mercial objects, they contain no details of
public events. Andalusia is stated to be in per-
fect tranquillity, influenced by the strongest
attachment to the Constitution, and without the
apprehension of any attempts to disturb the
system. MINA'S official advises from Catalonia
had communicated the overthrow of' the insur!..
-rectionrin that province, and he had also, in his
private letters to the Government at Madrid,
given assurances that the whole of that part of
the' kingdom would soon be re-organized. The
knowledge of this fact, and ,of the alliance with
Portugal, becoming general at the same time, has
inspired the utmost confidence among the friends
.of the constitutional system. The prevailing sen-
timent is described to be the wish for peace,
though it is felt that Spain was prepared for war.
Not .the slightest interruption to public tranquil-
lity has taken place in the capital. •
