CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.

There are no arrivals from the Continent this morning,
and as the gentlemen connected with the Stock Exchange
have been fully employed in settling the late account, not
even a rumour has been circulated. In the public Funds
scarcely any transactions have been effected, and the Consols
for the May account, which opened at 784 remained
during the day without any material alteration, and finally
closed at 713 i In the French Rentes, scarcely any busi-
ness is doing, and the price here is 86f. 50c., being one-half
per cent. lower than yesterday. The prices of Foreign Se-
curities are more steady than they were two days ago. The
Russian 6 per cent. Paper Inscriptions are quoted at 82, the
fixed price of Exchange 12d. The Prussian 85 a 85i. The
Neapolitan 66 a 664, with a fixed exchange on Paris at 25f.
65c. Messrs. HOPES' Spanish 51 per cent. Loan, 62i a 62 ;
the exchange 12 guilders,. per pound sterling. The Spanish
Bonds issued in 1820 are 65 ; exchange 4s. 3d. a dollar, and
the Sterling Loan of 1821 is quoted at 65 a 654, and at these
prices they find buyers. In the American Funds scarcely any
business can be done, because the value of the dollar is fixed
here at 4s. 6d. and it is 13 per cent. less valuable in the United
States.—lnterested purposes have produced such conflicting ac-
counts respecting the differences betwixt Russia and Turkey,
'that less business was scarcely ever done in Foreign Exchanges
than on this day ; even a great character in money transactions
was observed taking a lounge in. Cheapside, under the arm of a
Bank Director, when some of his friends expected to find him
supporting his usual pillar on the Royal Exchange. The public
may, however, rely on the contents of theletter from Odessa, pub.
fished in The. Chronicle this day being perfectly correct, at least,
the writer of it never before misled his friends, and on this occasion
there is no cause for his attempting any deception.—The few
transactions which took place in Money Exchanges were
done on Paris, at 25. 40. for three months, paper ; and at 25..
francs for paper at three days sight. On msterdam, the Ex-
change was 1. 12. 5.; Hamburgh, 36. 11k. a 37., but on the
whole there were few buyers of Bills, because silver is considered
a more profitable remittance. Silver in bars is 4s. 111 d. though
in many instances ss. is demanded, and dollars can be bought at
Is. 101—There was this day a considerable sale of East India
Coffee, which went at 100 s. 103 s. being fully 3s. under the last
public sale of the same article. About 300 bags ofyepper were
sold at the same time, at 74d. which may be considered a fair
price. Sugar is exceedingly dull, and in Rum nothing is doing.
Brandy has advanced about 6d. a Gallon, occasioned only by an
idea that the vines may suffer, should the Spring be a severe one.
The advance on Saltpetre, since the certainty of the rejection of
the Russian Ultimatum by the Porte has been known, is from
12 to 15 per cent. The price of refined being 345. to 355. Cam-
phire and every article used in war have experienced a propor-
tionate advance in value ; and should the Ministers consult the
interest of England in preference to the interest of the Holy
Alliance, the first gun fired must be the signal of Commercial
prosperity, and of additional eomfortito the different Nations
of Europe. The Greeks may again call forth the gratitude of
the world, and in effecting their own independence, they may
be the media of extending the liberties and happiness of their
neighbours.—The supplies of all kinds of grain at the Corn
Exchange are still most abundant.. There is a very slight in-
'quiry after bonded Wheat, and one cargo has been shipped to
Portugal, and another to Amsterdam. There are likewise
some capitalists willing to purchase when the M editerranean
markets require to be supplied from ports without the Straights
of Gibraltar.' The millers also she a greater disposition to
buy fine and sound Wheat ; but there is no advance in prices.
Damaged and inferior qualities are as unsaleable as ever, and
for Barley and' Oats there is hardly any demand.—(Morning
Chronicle.)
