[FROM A. CORRESPONDENT.]

STOCK EXCHANG Ilatf-past Twelve o'Clock.—
Consols opened this morning at 75f, to 1, and in
consequence of the anticipation of his MAJESTY'S
Speech to-morrow being pacific, they rose to 76,
and up to this hour they are 751 77, The Ex-
press from Paris this morning brings the French
Funds 77f. 50c., but it is said that they after-
wards rose to 78. 20. The Foreign Market also
has improved. Spanish Bonds opened at 36, and
are now 361. It is reported that Sir ROBERT W
SON is preparing to leave this country for the
Peninsula.

FOREIGN MARKET.—The most business is
doing in Spanish Bonds and Colombia.
One o'Clock—A report prevails of a revolution
at Madrid and a change in the Ministry there.
We had not time to trace the above to any official

The ground assumed in the Speech of the
King of FRANCE, as a justification of the intended
attack upon Spain, has excited the astonishment
and reprehension of all classes and parties in this

country. Some persons, it is true, expect tha
the Manifesto, or, Declaration of War, still to be
issued by France, will enumerate some real
or pretended injuries inflicted upon her by the
Spaniards, as an apology for the outrage which
'., she -is about to perpetrate upon a neighbour-
IS ing nation. But nothing can now efface
l' the impression which has been made upon
17' the public mind, that, if the war be undertaken,
r... it wilt be one of the most unjust and indefen-
la
p, sible that have arisen in modern times. No sub-
?: sequent pretences can now alter the fact, that the
ir King of FRANCE has declared that he enters into

Of'
