MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Arrivals this morning—the French and Hamburgh
mails, ship letters from Batavia, and New York to the 7th
December by the Independence. The Exchange from New
York conies at 10 per cent. ; Bank Shares, 1191.
The Hamburgh mail of the 21st instant has arrived.
Metalliques, 105,1 ; Bank Shares, 1,475.
By accounts from Coblentz to the 18th December, it
appears that for several days past there have been move-
ments in the troops of that province. The garrisons of
Aix-la-Chapelle, Treves, and Cologne, are going to be
augmented, and everything announces that a corps d'armec
of considerable strength will be concentrated on the fron-
tiers of Belgium, to put in force the decision of the Con.
ference.

HALF-PAST ONE.
We have received Java Papers to the 9th September.
They state from Batavia that accounts have been received
from Amboyna, that great sickness prevailed there, and out
of 11,700 inhabitants, 2,400 had died, 253 Europeans, and
761 native Christians, but the mortality had abated, and the
last information was of a more favourable nature.
There has beef a very thin
attendance during the morn-
ing of the members of the Stock Exchange, and the only
feature worth notice is, that the Government broker pur-
chased about 5,000/. Reduced at 93.
The affair of the Russian Consul being at length de-
tailed in a letter at the North and South American
Coffee House, received from
a person well informed, gains
much credit in the city, although of an anterior date than
previously received.
Consols continue firm at 03-1. 94 for the Account ; Re-
duced has improved to 9371 ;
Exchequer Bills higher, 65
