CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.

The Holy Alliance were to commence their
conferences this day at Verona, and the best informed mer-
chants in the City have good reason to believe that the delibera-
tions will be of very short duration. Before the Emperor Alex-
ander quitted Vienna, his intention of being in St. Peters-
burgh betwixt the 15th and 20th of December was known in
the official circles, and the universal opinion was, that nothing
would be discussed likely to create any feeling capable of dis-
turbing the general tranquility of Europe. Whether the partial
change in theßritish Administration, or the more matured views
taken by the leading Holy Allied Legitimates of the progress
of knowledge, not so much amongst their subjects as amongst
those of their neighbour Legitimates, and the impossibility to
prevent the development of the human mind, have produced
this great advantage to mankind, must remain uncertain ; but
the less every Government interferes with the private opinions
and pursuits of their subjects, the greater is the chance of a
general increase of intelligence and happiness. It augurs well
for the liberties of Europe that these discussions are to be so
limited. Spain will gain her liberal Constitution ; Greece may
emancipate herself from the most iniquitous state of degrada-
tion that any nation was ever doomed to experience ; and should
this prove the last meeting of this Holy Legitimate Conclave,
there is some chance remaining that liberal opinions, and a free
interchange of commodities may yet increase the prosperity and
civilisation of the world.

In Liverpool, during the last week, the Plantation Sugar-
market exhibited much animation, and there was an advance
in the value of from 3s. to 4s. per cwt.; Molasses were sold at
30s. and nearly all the late arrivals are now in the hands of the
refiners. There was not any improvement in the demand for
Rums, and the prices were hl. per gallon cheaper. No trans-
actions of any moment took place in Coffees. One hundred and
fifty bags of Black Pepper, attempted by auction, were with-
drawn at 7d. In Carolina Rice no sales were effected. Dry
Hidesfully supported the late currency, and Horse-hides were
rather dearer. The week's transactions consisted of 18,870 dry
Ox and Cow at 100. to 120., and one lot at 1:20. Salted
Buenos Ayres Ox and Cow-hides were 63d. to 6,0. and Horse-
hides were sold ss. 6d. to 6s. hi. each.

This was settling day both in the English and Foreign
Funds. In the English the differences have been very trifling,
and the accounts were easily adjusted. Bank Stock is 246 i. a
246. Three per Cent. Reduced 81i less the dividend. Three
per Cent. Consols'B* 82. 82i. The 3l Stock 92g. Old Fours
92*. and the new 1.02 a. a 102. •Bank Long Annuities 204
b. India Bonds 57&56. South Sea Stock 93, and Consols for
the 27th of November, 8* B. Very little business was done,
and the names of no defaulters were made public.
The variations since the last settlement in Foreign Securi-

ties have been very great, but still all the accounts have been
arranged without any thing unpleasant occurring. In the
Spanish Bonds, both New and Old, a great deal was done, and
pilaw; have again considerably advanced. In no other descrip-
tion of Foreign Stock was much business done, though the
market on the whole continues to look very favourably.

The intelligence from Spain, brought by the
French Papers to the 14th instant, contradicts
the accounts of the capture of Tarragona by the
Royalists, and of the blockade of Lerida.
The Turks, in addition to their disasters in
the Morea, and the defeat of their naval expedi-
tion by the Greeks, have lost a battle with the
Persians. The details are of course not com-
municated, nor the amount of the loss sustain-
ed by the Ottomans, as the Porte never suffers
the particulars of severe adverse occurrences to
be made public, when it is possible to conceal
them. Besides calling upon the Mussulmans to
surrender their private wealth to the emergencies
of the Government, it appears that the Porte,
under the pecuniary embarrassments in which it
is at length involved, also meditates the fabrica-
tion of a paper' money. But neither the Janissa-
ries nor the Asiatic troops will long retain their
fidelity, unless their pay is continued in mo-
ney possessing a substantial value.—An ar-

ticle from Odessa confirms the fact, that
the Porte, in its arrogance, had not only
refused to take any step towards the re-
establishment of its diplomatic relations with
Russia, but that it had also drawn up a Protest
against any interference in its affairs by the Con-
gress of Verona!—Lord STRANGFORD had been
made the bearer of this Ultimatum of the " Sub-
lime" SULTAN !-Perhaps his pride has since
been somewhat lowered by the news from the
Morea and Trebisond.,

A report prevailed on the Royal Exchange
this morning, that a new Foreign Loan was con-
tracted for, of Two Hundred Thousand Pounds,
but the above being of a blackish cast, called
the hlaytian Loan, we should rather imagine it
to be an hoax.

No further information has been received re-
specting the arrest of Mr. BOWRING by the
French Government. In again adverting to the
subject, and requesting our Readers to suspend
their judgment upon its merits until both parties
have been heard, we are influenced by no motive
but that of a sense of justice to the mild and
paternal character of Louis XVIII., 'under the
difficult circumstances in which he is placed,
amidst the conflicting principles and parties
created by the Revolution and his subsequent
Restoration. The greatest danger to his Govern-
ment and Dynasty certainly arises from the disaf-
fection of a large part of the military, who eagerly
desire the return of those days of rapine and pillage
in which they were indulged by BUONAPARTE.
That there have been, and still are, military con-
spiracies in France against the present Govern-
ment, is evident from the late trials ; and it is
lamentable to think that those plots have been
encouraged by the pretended friends of liberty
in this country, e sincerely hope that Mr.
