WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1823

Considerable alarm prevailed in the City yes-
terday, in consequence of the great naval prepa-
rations of France having at length become no-
torious; and some of our contemporaries have
expressed their sufprize at the suddenness with
which the evidttnce of so important a fact has
burst upon them, and their hope that Govern-
ment has not also beeu taken by surprise, by, the
preparations of a Power with whom we may have
once again to contend on ;tire Oceart.—The
Readers of Tug SUN have been for some titue
aware that France was equipping her fleets, on an
extensive scale,—that she had been sEently,
though actively, engaged in naval preparations
for upwards of twelve months,—that there
was reason tp fear that those preparations were
directed against this Country,—and that our
Ministers were not, only acquainted with these
proceedings and designs, but were using prompt
ce of Great
measures for placing the naval for
Britain in a corresponding state of efficiency.,

These facts we communicated to our Reader";

some time since.

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT :2,

STOCK EXCHANG E, liqfpuit Twelve 6' Cr *ke—
rne opiniOns of the public still remain divided in
regard to the result of the question of peace or
war with FranCe and Spain. The majority of
the public are led to believe, by the gradual rise
of the French Funds, and the procrastination in
crossing the Pyrenees, that some accommodation
will yet take place ; but others affirm, that the
stationary.prices of the. French Funds are owing
to the manoeuvres of the French Ministry, until
they shall have obtained their. new Loan.
The Expressei froM Paris this morning,
brought ,the French Funds at 79f. 25c., and
Spanish 381. Consols opened this morning at
73,1 -I- n, at which price they are stationary. A
house in the City, of some magnitude in foreign
commerce, failed yesterday, it is said, to a con-
siderable amount; also, a Hebrew house at
Frankfort, of great note in the diamond line,
which has been speculating largely in the
Funds, to the amount of a million of 'florins.—
There is but little doing in Consols this morning,
as most of the parties are puzzled how to act at
this critical juncture, speculations in the Funds
being a very desperate game at this moment.

FOREIGN MAakET.—The Spanish Bonds have
rather improved this morning-. At the earlier
part of the morning they were done at 32i, but
afterwards improved to 33„1- I, owing, it is sup-
posed, to their coming higher from Paris. Ac-
counts from Paris still continue of a very war-
like description.

Bermuda Papers arrived, to the sth January.—
The Martinique Gazelle, of the 19th November,
contains the sentence given on the 16th of that
month against 16 slaves, for a revolt ; 8 of them
are condemned to the place of execution, dressed
in a red shirt, and their heads covered with a
black veil ; three 'to have their right hands cut
off, and their heads severed froth 'their bodies.

New Brunswick Papers, to the ‘27th of Dec.,
arrived this morning, but do not contain any

ne‘ys.

NASSAU, NEW PROVIDENCE, DEC. 17, 1822.
This quarter is at present so well cleared of the
Pirates, owing to the great exertions of Captain
Gory and the Officers under his command,
that the .Tyne has sailed for Jamaica ; but that
gallant officer, Lieutenant Nuitsr, who, in the
Etiza,Sloop, with twenty five men, beat off one
Pirate, and hoarded and captured her consort
(Le Firme Union) of three times his force, is
left behind, not having Sufficiently, recovered
from the dangerous wounds he had received in
the desperate conflict. •

We observe with pleasure that Mr. HUSKISSONj
in his last Address to the Liverpool Voters
(which we shall present at length to•ntorrow),
decidedly condemns principles of aggres-
-00;1 avowed by the Powers hostile to Spain,"
and declares that "'lt will ever be a principle
with him to assert,. and as far as in his power
to maintain, die: Weil' &lice of every nation,
and to oppose, hostile, :Machinationg by other
POrers agaNst• a nation's internal peace and.
freedom." , . _ -

A letter froin from the frontiers.of ,Spain, dated
Bth Feb., says., " The sick whom .ROMAUOSA left
behind him at' Urgel have not received any
treatment ;• on the contrary, they have all been
transferred to the 'hospital, where they were
treated with the same care as' the Constitutional
troops. In the ,morning of the sth, the women
children who escaped the massacre of the
night were- brought back to .the_
,Seo. Even the
soldiers who, have been met have been made
prisoners. The killed, comprising women and
children, are said to exceed 100. Mina found
very little ammunition in this fort, Romagosa
hay.ing directed his soldiers to cast all the powder
which they could not take with them into the
diatoms:. Mina is now occupied in provisioning
the forts. lie has collected grain from all parts ;
much has been drawn from the Spanish' Cerdagne;
The inhabitants of Cerdagne are in a delirium of
ioy at the taking of Urge!. Puycerda was spowt
