CITY, HALF-PAST OITE O'CLOCI.

There is scarcely any thing doing this morning
in either of the Stock Markets. Consols opened
at 951+, for the Account, but have drooped to
951, though there is no assignable reason what-
ever for the depression.

Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at

Palermo, dated 15/la-May.

" There has been a report here of the capture
of an Algerine frigate by an English frigate off
the South side of the Island, but. it appears to be
unfounded."

Extract of a Letter from the Agents to Lloyd's

at Genoa, dated 29th Mai.

" A letter received here from Palermo, dated
the 18th inst., states, We are without any fur-
ther particulars of the engagement which took
place on the Ist inst. off Gergenti, but it is still
reported that an English frigate has taken an
Algerine frigate.—lt is probable that, as the
English frigate had a convoy of 40 vessels under
her protection; bound to the Westward, she has

carried her prize with her to Gibraltar.'"

We subjoin from Tuesday's Etoile the Royal
Ordonance, appointing M. de VILLELE Minister
for Foreign Affairs, ad interim, of his Most
Christian MAJESTY. It appears that the Viscount
CLIATEAUBRIAND was not even permitted to make

the customary skew of a voluntary resignation;

but that he was abruptly and unceremoniousif
dismissed.

PARIS, JUNE B.—We have received by a courier, news from
Madrid of the 3d of June, and from Lisbon 25th of May. The
King of Spain remains at Aranjuez. Our dispatches do not
contain any infhrmation of the news of the pretended disturb:,
antes which the Journals have spoken of, on the faith of daelr
correspondence, of time date of the 24th.
In the Sitting of the Chamber to-day, the Keeper of the Sea!,
withdrew the Projet de Lot, relating to offences committed 12
churches. In the Sitting of yesterday the Minister of Finances
withdrew the Projet de Loi on Navigation.
The King went out to-day.
The Kings of Spain and Great Britain, alike animated wit
k
the deAre to remove all causes of difference between the
two nations, by proceeding to no amicable accommodation
with respect to the reciprocal injuries suffered by captures of
vessels, detention of property, &c. have appointed duly autho-
rised Plenipotentiaries, who, on their part, have made a Con"
vention, which has been ratified by the said Sovereigns and eit"
changed in due form. It is therein agreed—
lst. That there should be established in London a mixed
Spanish and English Commission, composed of two individual*
of each nation, who will take cognizance of all the injuries out-
fired from 1808 to the 12th of March 1823.

2d. That if there he any diffirence of opinion, it shall be re-
ferred to the Minister Plenipotentiary of Spain, in Englan4,
and a Magistrate named by his Britannic Majesty : and
they do not agree in such case, the matter to be decided by lot-
The King of Portugal has issued a decree appointing the
Count of Subserra, Secretary of State, instead of J. A. 4e
Olivira Liette de Barron.

The- following letter from Paris throws sortie.
further light on the important, though partial,
change which has just been effected in the French
Ministry :
"Pa ars, 7.—A1l uncertainty is at an end. M. de
Villele, like the God Antimus, only touched the earth to ac-
quire fresh vigour. M. tie Chateaubriand, accused of having
promoted the rejection of the Law for the reduction of the
Itentes, is dismissed from the Ministry, and 11. de Villele
fulfils, ad interim, the duties of the Minister for Foreign Affaini•
This victory is particularly remarkable, inasmuch as it places
in a strong point of view a truth not hitherto suspected—. This
is, that the influence of England is much greater than the in-
fluence of Itussia in the ?rench Cabinet is at present. M. de
Villele, entirely devoted to British policy, has found support •
both in the King and Monsieur, while M. de Cha.teaubriandt
notwithstanding the united support of 111. Pozzo di Borg°,
the most zealous Ultras, the Clergy, and particularly the
Archbishop of Paris, and the Bishop of Herrnopolic, the
Grand Master of the University, formerly the Abbe Fraysinoutt,
has not been able to ,ret the better of his rival. We may here
remind the reader of the saying of Henry IV. to his gar-
dener, who complained that no flowers would grow at Pontairl.
bleau. " Plant gascons," said the King, " they flourish evert
I where." Many intrigues are now going on to ascertain wile
II will be the successor of N. de Chateaubriand. M. de IforO•
morency, the Prince de Polignac, and M. de Martiamac,_er°
all spoken of. The latter, one of the creatures of N. do V:;
lele, would be ready to become a Minister at any price. -0'
has already made a rapid progress in a short space, and a porte
feuille is so tempting an object, that he would accept it on en/
terms. As to M. de Polignac, in expectation of the ports:
feuille, he took a wife on the :Id of this month. He married
the Marquise de Choiseul, who, as well as his former wife, ie
very rich English lady. The great majtirity of the Chamber o
Peers seem much disappointed, and there is every reason °
believe that they are preparing to make other attacks."

All acceahts- from Spain that can be relied Onl,
as authehtiC7 continue to represent that ill-fatea
country as being in the most deplorable condition.
It is now said that even a large party of the
Ultra Royalists, and Fanatics themselves, are
ready to break out into insurrection against the
KING'S authority, and to' set up his brother
Don CARLOS in his stead. We have ofto
said that the French Government, by 4i
iniquitous invasion of the Peninsula, had;
instead of serving, inflicted a deep and WO
stab on the security of crowned heads ; and the
dispositions now manifested by the Spanish sec"
viles is another proof of the soundness of the
conclusion. The following letter from Paris will
give our Readers some idea of the critical state
in which FERDINAND VII. is at this Immo
placed :

" PARIS, JUNE 7.—The following is all the intelligersl
from Spain which I have been able. to. collect. You will fin'
in it the complete address of the Supreme Council of Castile, s.
well as information respecting the Apostolic Junta :
"The Apostolic Junta continues its inanceuvres with ell
greatest ardour in several parts of the kingdom. Its agent''
have proclaimed Charles V.. (that is, Don Carlos, the brother
of the King), in Galicia, Arragon, and Catalonia. "The 01:
lowing are the Members who compose the Apostolic Junta A'
Madrid—namely, General Mata Florida, the son of the Meta:
ber of the Urgel Regency; the Captain-General Corbajal, .
King's Lieutenant in the garrison of Madrid 9 • General Ben'
sieres, Grimarest Capasse, Royo, alias Lotcho ; Aymerick,
Spector of Infantry, Chanvo, Merino, the Trappist, Mossan}
Colonel Cantero, and all the great officers of the Household 0'
the Infant Don Carlos ; the Archbishop of Zamora, the Arch"
bishop of Toledo, and Father Martinez, Friar of the Conver4
of La Merced, where the Junta regularly meets. Senor Etc-
nard, one of the richest men in Spain, is Secretary; and Victor
Saez, the late Minister and Confessor of the King, is Preal" •
dent. They count upon the assistance of Senors Palornersf
Antrugnaro, Davila, Campo, Romara, and Father Sivilo."
Nothing can be a stronger proof of the aced'
racy of the statements in the above letter than 00
subjoined address' to the King by the Council O
Castile, in which the Council, under pretext 01
givinc, his Catholic Majesty frank advice, evi'
dently dictate to him - the conduct which the/
expect him to pursue. Truly, 'the King of Spelir
appears to be at least as much in a state 0(
duresse as lie ever was during the Constitutional
regime :
" Sire,—The Council which has hitherto direced your-atter
tion only to the particular facts which have occurred at Ovied°'
but which could not remain ignorant of those which hn,,v°,
happened in other plaCes, nor neglect to fix its regard on t'''
distrust which has generOly seized upon Spaniards w: o are Or
voted to your Majesty, and decided to defend you and -r•our dew
crees, would fail in one of its most sacred duties, if, passing bit
the Present occasion from considerations of a base policy,„l
concealed from your Majesty established proofs and vie,'"
founded fears, that a torrent of calamities must inundate Span'
unless your Majesty dictates prompt and efficacious measure'
to re-establish confidence.
" We are not now, Sire, as in 1314—a period, when ignorant
of the extension and the object or the different sects united
under the general specious title of Liberals, the individu
fidelity of those who are proud of being your Majesty's subject°
was engaged or compromised to the last degree against ail
sects—we know by reason and experience what are the ides••
and plans of that race which our age has produced, which rev
,'
ther retrogrades nor stops; and whose members, labouring °'
their dark lodges, are painted in a thousand shapes,' presentia
themselves as feeble sheep, while they are within devourini
wolves. The people already know them, because it has hear
their doctrines, and had to suffer three years of calamities under
these cannibals.
" And how is it possible, Sire, that while so greata number
of these men figure now as they, figured formerly, when the/
are seen obtaining the most important places, and displacing
the management of your Majesty's service the most pure and
devoted subjects, whose fidelity they check—how is it possible,
we ask, that the nation can have . confidence, and not fear s
third revolution ?. Would this triumph be more striking this
that which they now obtain, in enjoying, not only impunity fa
