CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.

The French mail doe on Sunday, and also the
one due this morning, have been received. The contents of the
former were yesterday anticipated by private channels. The
Consols, this day, have been uncommonly steady. They open-
ed at soi a 81, and continued without any variation until the
closing of the market. For the settlement on the 17th Ja-
nuary, 1023, the price was 81a a 81i. The account to be
arranged to-morrow is rather a heavy one, and rumours are
credited in proportion as they coincide with the speculations
of individuals. The best informed fundholders, however, con-
tinue to believe that the peace of Europe will not to disturbed.
They naturally ask what cause for war has Spain given to
France ? and they cannot conjure up a satisfactory answer.—
They conceive that an attempt on the part of Louis XVIII.
(who owes his Crown to England), and his confidential
advisers, to impose thraldom on the Peninsula; would not
be viewed with indifference by the British Nation, for the
Ultra-Royal Government of France will not attempt ,a
crusade against Spanish liberty, without well-founded hopes of
success ; and what would the British Government think should
the effect of that success be the occupation of all the naval sta-
tions in the Peninsula by French troops ? Would such a state of
things be consistent with the safety, or with the glory of the
British Empire ? Would the virtuous efforts of the Spaniards,
with whom, only a few years ago, Englishmen fought in the same
ranks, and in the sacred cause too of the liberties of mankind, not
call up the indignation of the enlightened classes of society
throughout Europe against those tyrants who dared to oppose their
just rights, to form that Constitution which was best suited to thei'r
manners and customs ? Would Europe not be again involved
in all the calamities of warfare, and would the result not be the
glorious triumph of civilization and liberty over tyranny and
barbarism ? The worst enemies to the present monarchial
system could not wish a greater evil on the heads of the holy
allied legitimate wiseacres, than an attack on the freedom of
Spain by the present bigotted Government of France.
In Foreign Securities very little business has this day been
done, and there is scarcely any variation in their value. The

the undivided attention of the dealers, and confidence amongst

It is currently reported in the City, that an eminent house of
agency yesterday received, by the way of Bombay, letters from
the interior of Bengal, dated on the 4th July, stating that the
Ganges had overflowed its banks, and that an immense number
of lives had been consequently lost. They were estimated at
100,000 souls. All the crops had been swept away, and indigo,
inpaiticular, had risen enormously in value. Such is the rumour
this day circulated amongst the East India Merchants.---
