CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this
morning at 83U, 84, with little or no business
doing. The statement published yesterday
afternoon in an Evening Paper, that the King of
SPAIN was to grant modifications of the Decrees
issued at Port St. Mary's and Xeres, has not been
confirmed this morning in any shape, or by any
fresh arrival up to this hour from Paris ; conse-
quently it is not credited in the City, which, in-
deed, is evident from the Consols Market open-
ing a half per cent. worse than it left off yester-
day. If the pretended news had been true,
several Expresses would have reached this
Capital long ere this, because the French
and Spauish Funds at Paris must have
taken a considerable rise. Eventually, it
may prove true, when the King of SPAIN
Le cannot procure money from France or Eng-
land without ratifying the Old Spanish Loan.—
Then he will be compelled to acknowledge it.—
We have no reports of any description.
FOREIGN MARKET.—Nothing doing except in
Spanish Bonds, and that to no great extent.

THE KING'S CovaT,TYesterday, at half-past
twelve o'clock, his Majesty arrived in his travel-

it appears from the Paris papers, that when

In the form required by the law. The appeal
c'llnot be heard before the 4th or sth of next

Ftred to the Bicetre.
Another remarkable trial is expected to come
the course of a few days, before the Paris
court of Assize. It is that of a Madame Bova-

by great Britain.
