CITY, MONDAY EVENING.

Consols for the November settlement opened
this morning at 83, but soon declined to 83i, in consequence
of considerable sales having been effected.. Two Expresses ar-
rived from Paris in the course of the day, quoting a decline in
public securities there last Saturday, which had been occasion-
ed entirely by the approach of the end of the month, when all
time bargains are arranged. The French Rentes on that day
closed at 92.85, but the principal decline was in the Spanish
Bonds of 1821, which had fallen to 68, being more than
Four per Cent. under the London value of them.—Many absurd
rumours gained credit this day, such as that the King of France
was unwell, from having again feasted too plentifully on ducks'
livers ; that the Holy Alliance had unanimously resolved to in•
terfere in the affairs of Spain, and to replace despotism and its
attendant vices in that country ; that his Most Christian Ma-
jesty had appointed the Duke d'Angoulenie, never heard of be-
fore as a General, to command the army on the Spanish fron-
tiers, with Macdonald to serve under him ; that the Emperor
Alexander had been opposed by the Alliance in his intention of
assisting the Greeks ; with various other reports equally cre-
dible. From Verona an eminent dealer in State Securities cer-
tainly received letters this morning by express, the contents of
which; hoWever, are any thing but warlike. 'hey continue to
assert that no attack will be made on Spain by the Legitimates,
and that their intentions are entirely pacific.
Every description of Foreign Stocks is, this day, dull, and
there is a decline in most of them. The settlement on the 31st
is an extremely heavy one, and much caution is necessary, in
consequence of distrust, naturally arising from very extended
speculations.—This is the real cause of the present dullness.
