In consequence of a rumour that the Spanish
Cortes have offered to negociate with the French,
and to give up the KING, on condition that the
safety of their persons and property shall be
guaranteed, Consols opened this morning at 82,
and rose to 821 I. It is also rumoured thitt'Slr.
WILLIAM A'COUItT had followed the Kim: of
SPAIN to Cadiz, and that the KING Was'on his
return from Cadiz to Seville !

We place no reliance on the above rumours,
and have reason to believe that no such intelli-
gence has been received by Goyyrument.,

Two Expresses have, arrived fin the City this
morning from Paris, bringing the price :.of the
French funds on Thursday, 'BB€. 85 c.

Mr. Rom Nicol, one of the' Messengers of the
Foreign Office, has arrivectALDowning-street
from Seville, with Dispataies...Mt} ROBINSON
left Seville oi► the (lth inst. - (nine days before
the departure of Mr. WARD, 4110 brought the
intelligence of the removal of ?the Spanish Go.
vermnent), and has been so long detained by the
prevalence of contrary winds.

A Cabinet Council is, we
,understand, sum
moned to meet at three o'Clock this day.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THE URITISH VICE
CONSUL AT HAMA, DATED 28TH APRILd

j" The reports of the preparations that are makingiat,ltio
Janeiro, and the attempts that it is intended will be made to
force the Portuguese troops to embark for Portugal, are such as
to justify the fear that some desperate attack will be made by
the Brazilian Admiral on the squadron anti shipping in this.
harbour; and in consequence, at my suggestion, precautionary
measures have been adopted by the'lllasters of British vessels,
who have changed their births, and taken up a new one nearer
the squadron under Sir TIIO3IAS HARDY, and whose example
they are all ready to follow in case of any danger presenting

" P.S. The Portuguese squadron is under weigh, and going
out of harbour in smell of the Rio squadron. M e are looking
with great anxiety for the result."

We have before had occasion to notice the
mischievous tendency of many of the Police Re-
ports which find their way into the Newspapers,
and to reprehend, the mis-timed levity with which
the feelings and characters of respectable per-
sons are often sported with, by the. Reporters
of one or two Yournals, who seem to seek,
in the Police Offices, occasions donly for
the display of their own powers of ridicule.
Even charges involving the honour or the lives of
individuals of unblemished reputatien, though
they may be afterwards proved to be
,entirely
unfounded, are frequently made to assume a
colouring highly prejudicial to the parties un-
justly accused, as respects not only their estima-
tion with the publiciobut also their defence before
a Jury. A stronger instance can hardly be ad-
duced than that of a Reverend Gentleman,
who, accordingio the report of a Morning Paper
of the 4th inst. was brought before Mr. HAL/A,
the Bow-street Magistrate, and after three ex:
aminations, was bound over, himself in 100!.,
and two sureties of 501. each, to appear at the Ses.
sions, and answer a charge preferred by a common
soldier for indecent behaviour,'which the worthy
Magistrate denominated a misdemeanour ; and,
as if the charge lied not been in itself sufficiently
malignant, the report stated
that the accused
Gentleman was a Clergyman of the Established
Church," and his name and residence were given
in a subsequent Paper ; whilst the Paper in ques-
tion has omitted to state, what another Morning
Paper has done, that 46 on the first day of the
Sessions, the Grand Jury had rejected the
Charge preferred by two Soldiers of the 3d
Guards, against the Rev. \V. Brown : we
have now great satisfaction in mentioning the
complete failure of the
malignant accusation."
Malignant indeed ;;and for the sake of justice,
we are sorry that it did not go to trial, as we
understand it could have been proved that there
were not even the slightest grounds for the charge.

THE KlNG.—(Windsor, June
JESTY took an airing on Wednesday in his phae-
ton to 'Windsor Castle, where he staid some
time, and inspected the different apartments, and
then returned by Frogmore to the Lodge to
dinner. His Majesty rode out yesterday in the
delightful walks in the Parks. A Messenger
arrives every morning and pvening with dis.
patches from Ministers, and His Majesty returns
answers by Messengers also morning and evening.
The Messenger last night was lipid to bring the
proceedings of a Cabinet Council held in the
afternoon of the same day.

Dutch Papers to the 25th, and Ilamburgh Pa.
pers to the 21st inst. have reached us ; but they
contain no political news of importance. The
marriage of Prince OSCAR Was to take place on
the 22d inst. The QUEEN and the PRINCESS ar-
rived at Stockholm on the 14th inst. The Ber.
tin State Gazette contradicts the report of large
quantities of corn having been sent from the
Royal magazines at Dautzic to supply the for-
tress on the Rhine ; but a small quantity has
been sent from Ruthenau to the Rhine, by way
of Harnburgh and Holland.
Thursday the Russian and Austrian Ambas-
sadors transacted business at the Foreign Office;
and yesterday the Austrian Ambassador again
transacted business at the Foreign Office.
The Grand Orange Lodge of Dublin has issued
a manifesto to the brethren, against celebrating
the next anniversary of the 12th of July. The
Dublin Papers seem to question the good faith of
this proceeding.
