MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
The high rates paid in the Stock Exchange for discount
accommodation have bad the effect of keeping down the
value of the Funds. Consols for immediate transfer have
been marked 883 to 883, and for time 893 to 893. The
rate of continuation to-day was Bto 3per gent:, till 15th
April. Exchequer Bills brought SR. to 7s. premium, and
India Bonds were Iss. discount• Bulk Stock was at an
advance to 166 and 167, and India Stock was nominally
without alteration ; the New Tbrte•and-a. Half per Cents.
brought 97 to 3, and the Three per Cents. 893 to 883.
The half-monthly account in the Foreign Mirket -wa3
settled to-day, and attracted scarcely any notice, from its
extreme insignificance. Spanish Active Bonds have al-
ternated since the 12th instant not more than I Portu-
guese only 3, Mexican 3, and Brazilian 14 per cent.
Money is at present rather scarce in the Stock Exchange,
and it is pet haps so far lucky that the fluctuations have not
been mere considerable. Spanish Active Bonds were
marked to-day at 233 to 24, Portuguese New. Five per
Cents. at 313 to 3, Colombian of 1824. at 223, Mexican
at 273 to f, Brazilian at 72 to 3, Buenos Ayres at 25 ;
Russian Bonds were firm at 1131, Danish brought 773,
and Dutch Five per Cents. 993 to At Amsterdam, on
Tuesday afternoon, the Two-and-a-Half per Cent,. closed
at 503 to 7.l6ths, and the. Five per Cents. at 97 15-16
to 98.

The Railway Shares Were this at ernoon 'again rather
more dealt in, but the speculations having been recently in
favour of a dectir.e, tho account has sent down prices a
little. Great Western were 23 to 21k; the New 10 to
ioi ; the Fifths 5 ; the South Western 17k ; and the
York and North Midland 25f premium. Brighton Shares
were 71 to 71 ; Blackwell 5 ; Northern and Eastern 27;
North Midland 27 ; Birmingham and Gloucester 22 ; and
South Eastern 16f discount. British North American
Bank Shares were 5f discount.
This afternoon the Foreign Exchanges were again bet-
ter, the improvement being more decided than for some
post days past. The rate for bills on Paris was 25f. 60c.
to 65r. ; on Hamburgh, 13 7/ to 8 ; on Amsterdam, 12 3/
to f ; on Antwerp, 12 2* to i; on Frankfort, 149/; and
un Trieste, 10 lf to 2i.

BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, FEB. 23 —The notice that Ow

the Integrals got up to 50a ; the Actions of the Society of
Commerce were done at 160 h. Ardoin's Spanish was not

This being the settling day in the Foreign Market, and the

that it will go off well. Up to the present. hour no mischief

ME EIE VIET ALI

AND THE FOUR

POWERS.

The Augsburg Gazette publishes a memorandum of the
London Conference, addressed to Chekib Effendi, and dated
London, 30th January, 1841 :
" The undersigned Plenipotentiaries of Austria; Great Bri-
tain, Prussia, and Russia, have maturely considered the des-
patch of Reschid Pacha, dated December the Bth, from Con-
stantinople, and communicated by Chekib Pacha to Lord
Palmerston and to the representatives of the other Powers,
having signed the Treaty of the 15th of July. This com-
munication states that his Highness the Sultan hesitates
to grant to Mehemet Ali the hereditary government of
the pachalick of Egypt. The undersigned, after devoting
their utmost attention to the circumstances of the ease,
have unanimously determined to beg of Chekib Effendi
to communicate the following considerations to the Su-
blime Porte. They first deem it their duty to remark, that
at the date of the above despatch of Reschid Pacha
the representatives of the Four Powers had not taken in com-
mon that step which was resolved on in London on the 15th of
October, and that at the latest news from Constantinople of
December '27, the envoys in that city had not felt obliged to
lay before his Highness the Sultan the resolutions of the Powers.
liut the views of the Allied Courts have not varied. Sepa-
rated by considerable distance, and not deeming it necessary
to come to a new understanding, they had forwarded commu-
nications to their envoys in Constantinople, which bore all the
character of being their unanimous opinion. The Govern-
ment of her Britannic Majesty addressed, under date of De-
cember 17, instructions to their representative in Constantino-
ple, confirming the resolution of the 15th of October. The
Court of Vienna wrote in the same spirit to its ham-nuncio on
the '29th of December. The Court of Berlin adhered to
the same, and the Russian Cabinet wrote in the same spirit on
the '23d of Decamber. The undersigned, therefore, permit
themselves to hope, that the counsels that must have been given
by the four representatives in this sense may have had amarked
influence on the views, and removed the uncertainty, which
Reschid Pacha describes as prevailing irz the sentiments of the
Sublime Porte, In order, however, to remove this uncertainty
altogether, the Four Powers deem it best to lose no tima, arid
not await any further communications from Constantinople,
and to express fully the views of their respective Gairts, as had
been already communicated by word of mouth. Their view is
to invite the Sultan to employ mildness and magnanimity, and
not only to recall the act of Mehemet's deposition, but promise
him that his descendants in direct line shall be named to the post
of Pacha of Egypt, as often as the death of the Pacha leaves
a vacancy. In asking the Porte to show this favour to Mehe-
met, the Four Powers do not put forth any new idea, but
merely repeat the views—entertained by the Sultan himself at
the commencement of the Eastern crisis—views which served
as the basis for the Convention of the 15th of July. In giving
this counsel, the Four Powers are persuaded that they recom-
mend nothing contrary to the sovereignty or lawful authority
of the Sultan, or what would impede the duties which the
Pacha ought to fulfil as a subject of the Sultan, called by him to
govern a province of the Ottoman empire. This is not only estab-
lished by the 3d, sth, and 6th articles of the Act separately attach-
ed to the Convention ofJuly 15, but also by the instruction address.
ed by the Four Powers to their envoys. By paragraph sth of the
above Act, it was established that all conventions or laws then
in force, or to be in force throughout the empire, should be in
force in the pachalic of Egypt, as well as in Wiser provinces.
This condition, which the Your Court§ consider indispensably
necessary, creates, in their eyes, the, fastest bond to tie Egypt
to Turkey and the Ottoman empire. l'aragraph 6 establishes,
that the sea and land force of Egypt must be fully available
for the service of the empire. Lastly, it was established in the
conclusions of the 15th of October, in London, and the instruc-
tions of ilici4th of Novembtr, fi.,,irq; from them, that If Me-
hemet Ali or his successor should break through the condition
on which the hereditary Government of Egypt was confided to
him, his title might be revoked.
_ _

" The undersigned believe that the full accomplishment of
these conditions must meet the wishes of the Sultan, as
well as of the Four Courts, and attain the great aim of
pac.fication meditated by the Convention of July 15. The
sultan was henceforth certain of the obedience of his Pacha ;
the population of the province was secured against the mis-
government of the last years, and Mehemet Ali and his
family had their future position guaranteed without breaking
through his dependence on the Porte.
