CITY, MONDAY EVENING.

Consols for the settlement of to-morrow opened at 79A, and
remained very steady till near the close of the market, when they
fell to 78g. As there are no foreign political news in town,
this decline must be attributed partly to the operations in the
market, occasioned by the settlement, but chiefly to a general
expectation that some new Wan for raising money, equally wise
and profound with the pension farming scheme which so lately
was laid before, and rejected by the monied interest, will be
immediately submitted by his MAJt sTY's Ministers to the` te-
presentatives of the People ; and little doubt is entertained
of its approval by them, whatever may be its merits. Out of
the discussion the usual benefits will arise, for most probably
it will afibrd amusement to such of his MaarsTr's subjects as
receive pleasure from contemplating sublime calculation.
CHARLES the SE coN-n used to say, that he received far higher
amusement from the proceedings of the House of Lords than
from the Play-house; and many persons receive now more
amusementfrom the proceedings of the House of Commons,
than they dare safely avow, so fang hs bringing into contempt
may bring them unde,r the operation of the Six Acts. As joy is
communicative, this restraint acts rather as a damper.—ln the
prices of Foreign Securitiea there is very little alteration.
The French Rentes maintain Saturday's quotation of 88 50.
Prussian Fives, 86. Old. Columbian Bonds, log 4; • Sixes,
85 ; and Scrip, 06. Danish Fives have fallen to 84i. Spa-
nish Old Bonds are 62if 63, and New, 63} a. It being under-
stood that there has been a change of Ministry at Naples, in fa-
vour of public freedom, their Fives have advanced to 69 f. Rus-
sian Sixes continue at 82, and Metallic Fives at 77. In Austrian
Fives nothing has, been done. If the Imperial Roman Empe-
ror would pay a dividend on loans formerly obtained, the pre-
sent Stock would receive additionhl value.—Letters have been
reteived from Amsterdam, dated the 17th, and from Ham-
burgh, dated the 14th curt. Very little business was doing in
either of these shies. At the former the exchange at two months,
on London, was 40s. 3d. ' • and for short paper, 40s. 6d. Spanish
bbnds, 64i a 65.• At Ilamburgh the exchange at two months, on
London, was 363.6 d. and 365. 9d. short. Gold was quoted 1011.
The weather was uncommonly fine, and though some grain had
been purchased for the South of Europe, prices were rather
lower. The best informed still expected that a war would be the
result of the negotiations supposed to be carried on at Vienna
betwixt Russia and Turkey. The carnage at Scio will not tend
to a speedy pacification. The benefits to the whole of civilised
Europe from the establishment of a free and Christian Empire
in the Levant and Morea are so obvious, that almost every
man 'wishes for its accomplishment. A vessel has arrived
in the, river from St. Petersburgh which sailed on the 7th
current. The Captain unfortunately brings no letters, and
he—irad heard no public news. Tallow was above 115 R.
and the Exchange 9s. Here Tallow is now selling by the
market butchers at ls.lld. a stone, being the lowest price quoted
since' 1772, when it was the same.—Scarcely any business has
been done this day at Mark-lane, and there is no, alteration in
the value of any description of corn. At Liverpool some wheat
is shipping to South America. The last accounts from Spain
still give an unfavourable description of the coming crops.
Any failure there will partly relieve the granaries in England
of a quantity of bonded gram.—There are no farther accounts
either from Greece or Turkey.—(Morning Chronicle.)
