soLEx Quis FALSUM AUDEAT

LONDON,
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, ma.

Though some of our contemporaries were dis.
posed, at of:e period, to treat with levity the ap-
prehensions which we have frequently expressed,
respecting the designs of France upon the inde.
penitence, and consequently upon the corn.
meter of South America, the conviction seems
now to be generally felt, not only that those
designs are seriously entertained, and that their
execution will be vigorously attempted, but that
this country must either be involved in a war of
resistance to a project so prejudicial to her inte.
rests, or will tamely submit to the exclusion of her
commerce from the ports of Spanish America, and
passively witness the aggrandizement of a restless
and ambitious rival effected by that very process

which is intended to strike at an important

branch of her own commercial wealth and

political influence and power. We are now

enabled to speak upon thii most important
subject with the utmost confidence. The
subjoined extract of a letter from Paris we
can assure our Readers is written by a person of
high distinction, 'having access to the very best
sources of political information, and to the
highest diplomatic circles in the French capital.
It may therefore be considered as certain, that
the design exists, not only of attempting the con-
quest of South America, but of giving Russia that
which has been so long an object of her ambi-
tion, a footing in the Mediterranean. We hope
that our own Government will adopt prompt and
vigorous measures; and, as the strongest proof of
their earnestness, in addition to pressing forward
the completion of a powerful naval armament, that
they will forthwith pronounce their recognition
of all the South American Slates. Let them
not wait for the call of the country before
they adopt decisive measures, which are now
obviously requisite for
,preserving the best
interests of tie British Empire. The peo-
ple, they may be assured, will support them.—
Vory erroneous ideas are entertained as to the
supposed inability of the country to sustain the
expenses of boldly maintaining, at this crisis, its
station in Europe. Ministers themselves, how-
ever, are fully aware of the fallacy of these
despondiug apprehensions, and of the uuimpaired,
we may truly say, the tenprecedently flourishing,
state of our resources, which would be further ex-
cited and developed, rather than repressed, by
the exertion of efforts more than sufficient to con-
vince the world that the uplifted aria of England
is still irresistible,
" Besides all this, I cannot but anticipate war-
" like results from the present political state
"of the Continent. The French Authorities
" are most highly displeased with the conduct
" of England in the late Spanish affair, and do not
" hesitate to mark it very distinctly, and particu-
" lady they are displeased with Sir C. STUART,
" for not having beau to Court to offer congra-
" tulations, nor to the Te Deem upon the occa-
" sion of the fall of Cadiz. It is also generally
" spoken of by them and their adherents and
" supporters, that France means to engage to
" support Spain in the recovery of the South
" American Colonies, and even that Russia will
" also assist (M. Pozzo u BOUGO is very strong
" upon this point), receiving in recompence the
" Balearic islands, and thereby pining a, foot-
" ing in the Mediterranean. Surely England
cannot look on quietly at all this

A New Loan for Spain is in negociation, and,
it is understood, will be arranged forthwith. We'
believe that it is settled that the Spanish Bonds
of 18`1 and 1822 are to be received in part of
the Loan, if not at their full nominal value, at
least at a trifling reduction. At all events, it
may be considered as a decided point that the
debts contracted by the Constitutional Govern-
ment will be recognized by the King of SPAIN.
We give this statement on assurances in which
we place confidence.

Cm-, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this
morning at 831 to 4, but soon after they be-
came heavy at 83k, with little doing in the
Market.—There appears in the City much spe-
culation in regard to the French assisting the
Spaniards in recovering their South American
possessions, which has rather damped the Funds
this morning. The private letters from Paris
state that two great Continental Power's
are greatly in favour of the Expedition,
and will lend their assistance to the King of
SPAIN. The failure of a gentleman of conse-
quence was spoken of yesterday. He formerly
belonged to the Bank. Upon inquiry, we find
'the failure is not of great magnitude. We do
not hear of any Express from Paris this morning.
FoßmoN MARKET.—Very little doing in the
above Market.—Spanish Bonds opened at 27 to
271.—Colombian opened at 59+ to GO. We un-
derstand that the Mexican Loan, for the present,
is put aside. In regard to the Jerusalem Loan,
it is all a fudge.

WINDSOR, Nov. 10.—Yesterday (Sunday)
his MA J EST Y had a performance of sacred music,
at which the Royal Horse Guards' band assisted.
This day being remarkably line for the season of
the year, the KING took an airing up the Park
to the Royal Cottage. Count LIMES, the Rus-
sian Ambassador, and Mr. and Mrs. STANHOPE
left the Castle this morning for London.

Sunday the Duke of YORK attended Divine
Service nt the Chapel Royal, and heard a sermon
by the lion. and Rev. Dr. WELLrst.r..v. The an-
them was ATWOOD'S Coronation Anthem, which
wns sung by Master WESLEY, Messrs. SALMON,
VAUGHAN, and J. B. SALE.
A Messenger arrived at the Foreign Office
yesterday morning, with dispatches from Sir
CHARLES STUART IO Mr. Secretary CANNING.
