LONDON,
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9.4, 18'24.

The arrival of our Express yesterday, enabled
us to anticipate the contents of French Journals
received in usual course ; and we have no fur-
ther intelligence by Express from Paris.to-day,
in consequence of the intervention of Sunday.

CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened at
91 to 9141, at which price they remain steady,
with little doing. For the April Account they
are 9141. 'Thursday being Settling Day in Con-
sols, most of the Brokers are busy in making up
their Aici;unt. The CIIA I'ICELLOR. of the EX"
EQUile3 Budget has had but little effect on
the Market, the fall being only per Cent, as
Consols left off yeqerday at 91-?,-. It is eNpected
that, after the present Account-is over, they will
get up. Up to, this hour I do not hear of any
Express from Paris. This day being a Holiday
at the Bank, no business is done for Money.

FOREIGN MARKET.—Very little business is
doing, except in New Spanish, which is on the

rise.

We have given a copious report of the CHAN-
CELLOR of the ExcnEQuErt's financial expos,
and of the debate which ensued upon it last
night, in the House of Commons. We reserve
our observations upon the Right Hon. Gentle-
man's plans, until the less crowded state of our
columns shall afford us an opportunity of •nter-
ing at some length into the consideration of the
subject.

BAYONNE, FEB. 12.—The French police is
extremely strict at the passs of Behobie. The
Prince of Anglona only passed the frontier be-
cause he had a passport from the Marquis of
Talaru, our Ambassador; it has been again
signed by our Magistrates, as he is allowed
to go to Grenoble, thence to proceed to Italy ;
but he has not yet quitted Bayonne. Several
Spaniards came to the frontier at the time that he
did, but not having passports signed by the French
authorities, they were obliged to return to Irun ;
among these was the Marquis of Florida Blanca.
—The Journals have, by mistake, said, that
The Marquis of Mata Florida had arrived at
Bayonne ; they meant Florida Blanca, who,
however, as we have just said, never passed Be-
hobie. There are reports of disorders in Estra-
madura; but no credit must be given to this
news'; nothing indicated it, and there is nothing
at pre,ent to confirm it in any degree.

gern i appear to have been pretty
successful
cruising against the Spaniards. The
Captain of a vessel
irheAl
in c
arrived at Gibraltar, from
Oran, on the sth instant, reported having met
an mgerine squadron off that port, returning
to Algiers to refit, having five Spanish prizes in
company.

.
In consequence of the war between this country
and Algiers, it may be important to know the
navi,aal we have already in the Mediter.
ate
following list of men of war is ex-
tracted from a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's
at Malta, dated the 17th of January, which
vessels had been at Malta a few days previous to
its date :—viz. his Majesty's ship Revenge (Sir
11. NEALE) ; Cambrian, Euryalus, and ,S:ybille
frigates ; Weasel, Martin, Rose, and Dispatch,
sloops of war ; Diana and Nimble cutters.

ALiattas.—(From the Royal Cornwall Gazette. )—" On
Thursday evening (the 19th instant), the Cameleon brig of war,
Lieutenant Burton, arrived at Falmouth from Gibraltar, with
dispatches for Government, which were forwarded express to
London, by Lieutenant Church, of his Majesty's ship Astrea,
the Camsleon having been put under quarantine. The Came-
kon left Portsmouth with secret orders a short time since, and
joined the Naiad frigate, Hon. Captain Spencer, at Gibraltar.
They proceeded in company to Algiers, where they arrived on
the 24th ult., to demand restitution of some Christian captives.
The Dey refused to admit Captain Spencer to a private confer-
ence unless he would consent to come without his sword—a
condition to which that gallant officer would not submit. Hav-
ing made his propositions, he gave the Dey till the 31st to con-
sider them, and in the mean time embarked the British Consul
.with his family, and the merchants, on board his ship. When
the time expired, and no favourable answer having been return-
ed, the men-of-war stood out to sea, and at 3 p.m. (in sight of
the town) fell in with an Algerine corvette, of 18 guns and 100
men, standing in for the bay. She was ordered to bring to,
but having refused compliance, a fire was immediately opened
upon her, which she returned, and in a short time the Cams-
lean ran her on board, and carried her in a gallant style. On
board her were found 17 Spaniards (prisoners), who with the
Algerine captain were take out of her. Captain Spencer then
suffered the prize to drift ashore, she being too much damaged
to bring away. 'The Canzeleon had some men wounded in the
action, but the particulars have not yet transpired. The Naiad
parted company for Malta on the Ist inst., and the Came/eon,
after calling at Gibraltar, sailed from thence on the gth."
Letters from Madeira, received yesterday,
dated early in February, communicate most dis-
tressing intelligence. The American ship Nupo.
lean sailed from that island on the 23d of Ja-
nuary, bound to the Cape de Verd Islands. On
the 25th, news was received that the crew had
mutinied, and that the Captain, mate, steward,
and a Portuguese lady, were murdered ! On
this intelligence reaching the Island, .b9ats were
immediately dispatched, and succeeded in captur-
ing the vessel. The crew, it was expected, would
be sent to the United States for trial.

On Sunday Lord Viscount GRANVILLE bad an
interview with Mr. CANNING, previous to his de-
parture for the Netherlands. His Excellency
left town yesterday on his departure for Hol-
land.

Sunday and yesterday Prince LEOPOLD dined
with the Duchess of KENT, at her residence, in
the King's Palace, Kensington. Last night their
Royal Highnesses, attended by Captain CONROY
and the Baroness de SPAEDTII, honoured Drury-
lane Theatre with their presence, to see the
Tragedy of Hamlet and the Entertainment of
The Cataract.
