[FROM A CORRESPONDENtri

Srocx EXCHANGE, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols
opened this morning at 77- 1, at which price
they remain steady with little doing. The Ex-
presses from. Paris bring the French Funds on
Monday at tile closing 84f. 75c. They were
done previously at 84. 30. Spanish New Bonds
381 to 39. Old Bonds 44. A report prevails
on 'Change that Saragossa has surrendered to
the French ; but the account rests on doubtful
authority. Consols have just been clone at 771.4.
FOREIGN MARKET.—This being settling day
for all Foreign Stock, all parties are chiefly oc-
cupied in settling their acconnts. At the close
of the Market yesterday two defaulters were an-
nounced, one a Portuguese and the other a
Hebrew ; the first of some consequence, but the
latter to a small amount. This morning we un-
derstand another failure has taken place, said to
be a French House, to a considerable amount.;
Spanish, Bonds opened at 33

After another Wag and deeply interesting dis-
cussion, the debate on Mr. MACDONALD'S motion,
was again adjourned at half past one this morn-
ing. The debate will be resumed in the House
of Commons to-night. How must those few pet;-
sons, in this country, who have either so igno-
rantly mistaken the true interest and policy of
Great Britain, or who have so basely pandered
and prostituted their talents to the further,
once of the iniquitous views of the French Go-
vernment, as to instigate them day after day,
and month after month, to the perpetration of
that criminal aggression against Spain, which Is
.now in progress,—how much, we say, must these
persons be now ashamed of themselves, when they
find that not a single voice has been heard in the
English House of Commons, but in the loud
and indignant expression of one coffin= sense
and feeling of abhorrence and reprobation of the
unprincipled, unprovoked, and perfidious outrage
against the rights and independence of nations,
which is so notoriously involved in the French
invasion of Spain ! The English Public, and the
Civilized World, will rejoice at Mr. PEEL'S ho-
nourable disavowal of the construction which M.
de CHATEAUBUIAND put upon what the Righl
lion. Secretary had said on a former occasion re,
specting the intervention of the Allied Sovereigns
with the Neapolitan Revolution,—or rather of
the inference which the French Minister had
drawn from those observations in favour of the
intervention of France with the Government
of Spain. The Right Honourable Gentleman,
however, has at length proclaimed to the world
that he fully participates in the sentiments
of his Colleagues, Lord LivEnroor., Mr. CAN-
NING, and the CHANCELLOR of the E_,NPIIE.:
QUER, on the Spanish Question, He has
distinctly separated the cases of Spain and
Naples. Ha has, with the high sense of honour
and the liberal spirit of a British Statesman,
admitted that the Spanish Revolution was ne-
cessary for the safety of the Spanish Monarchy ;
and he has not hesitated to apply the epithet
" iniquitous" to the conduct of France; Is
there any man who can suppose it possible that
neutrality can be long maintained, under those
feelings of excitement which now obviously agitate
the whole British nation, in common with their
Government, unless, indeed, (what we have
good reason for believing to be the case), our
neutrality is the implied condition on which

the Continental Allies of France are to
abstain from assisting tier in the War ?
It is evident that the debate is protracted
in the House of Commons, not from any ex-
pectation that there will be s Oong divi-
sion against Ministers, but from the, anxiety
with which so many Members of the House
are desirous of adding strength and golemnity
to the grand Protest against the conduct of
France, which the proceedings of the House in
fact constitute. The effect of the Speeches,
when they are known abroad, will he deep, ex-
,

The answer to inquiries yesterday after the
tlealth of the KING was MS MAJESTY is

Plans to lreland.—Thanks were given to Mr.
OwEs for his benevolent exertions in behalf of
the Irish peasantry, and thp Meeting, by buzzes
and acclamations, cheered that Gentleman, who
mildly and unostentatiously bowed hii thanks.
