[PROM A •CORRESPONDEXT:]

ClTY,lppast Twelve o'Clock.---Owing-to the
Ncific.information from Paris in the Morning
l'apers, Consols opened this morning at 811
i 3 but after it was known that expresses had
arrived from Paris bringing the French Funds
littler • lower, 89f. 85c. 'or 90, Consols fell
t° 8144; and up to this hour they are 818 to 4.
We understand that there is nothing of impor-
tance in the French Papers of Saturday, except
that the Duke of WELLINGTON will make a
tiger stay at Paris, than was expected. The
fill of the French Funds is attributed to realizing.

In the FOREIGN MARKET this morning Spanish
oPened at 60, but fell, in consequence of the ex=
Presses from Paris, to 57, rising again to 58—
‘tid at this hour Spanish New Bonds are 58i.

Although the qUestion of Peace or War' can-
-4t be considered as finally decided, until by the
return of the Duke of WELLINGTON -front Paris,
it •
is proved that the negociations now carrying
'4)4 in that capital have been brought to a conclu-
• AL
• 1.011, yet the probabilities are now so strongly in
4vour of the maintenance of peace, that well-
Ninded hopes of its continuance may be safely
irldulg,ed, without, howeveri relaxing from that
igilance which anticipates and ?repares for the
I,or_st. The Etoilc, which, of all the Paris
• ~ Journals, was the most, confident in its as-

section that the invasion of Spain was re

161ved on, now retracts its declarations, and
t
Proves those who have been so ill-informed as
. believe that war was inevitable. The Journal
des Debuts, too, has published another pacific
article,
,which commences with the assurance that
''the. preservation of peace between France and
Pain now appears to be certain." If .this iM-
POrtant declaration shonld be verified,: Europe
will be indebted for the blessing of repose, next
.t 0 the decisive and wise conduct of the English
ernment, to the exertions of the press, and
• to.
the influence of public opinion, controlling the
~atantic:ins of States by its agency. Nothing
more strikingly demonstrate the inestimable
. ue of free discussion, than the triumph which it
APPears to have achieved over projects of aggres7
I'4 that might again have deluged the world with
blOod. If the intemperance and inflammatory
addresses of the war party in Francehad not been
°tinter:Wed by the cooler reasonings and the
I°.lid arguments of those who perceived the
414. qeis and the difficulties, as well as the un-
certain. advantages of hostility, that country
Itould have been precipitated upon an enterprise
lqijoh might have re-kindled the flames of war
throughout Europe, or have lighted up the fires of
civil discord within herself. If the strong expres-
sio
Of public opinion in England had not overcome
t" efforts of those English writers who not only.
•I al/oUred to incite France to the attack, but who
alleged that England would look on with indif-
fp • •

Z. 4 menaced, the remonstrances of the British
vlsi"erinnent, unsupported by the voice of the
ivlign, and by the manifestation of its spirit;
