uur own Stock Exchange. In consequence,
Consols yesterday remained steady : their closing
price 'was 88i. Spanish Bonds closed at 2414 ;
cototnbian at 624-3; and Chilean 762-6. MeK-
ie:44 Mine Shares were done at 61 prem. and
closed at Sf prem. A failure to some extent was
yeSterday announced in the City ; and it took
place under very aggravated circumstances. The
de4ciene,i-es of the insolvent are reported to be
extremely large ; and it is believed that he has
6'itiitted the coutilry with the fruits of his dis-
110fiest speculation.

[MORNING posT.-2,
Nils Papers to the ith inst. reached us last
night. by express-. The Journal des Debdti, con=
titioe.i.to hold the most pacific language,' and the
rapid and unprecedented advance of the French.
tutids shows that no doubt is entertained of its
sincerity.•'"-Slfre have seen during a nicinth," says
that Journal, " both in English•and french Papers-
such absurd statements relatively to the political.
situation of Europe and the plans and negociations
of Cabinet's, that we have not thought it necessary
-to-point out their contradictory and ridiculous na-
ture: Amongst these were the reported occupation
of the Balearic Islands by Russia,and the prepara-
tiOnS for war of England. The Jobbers of the'
Stock Exchange and the speculators in elections
will prove equally mistaken in their calculations;
never was Europe. more .pacific, or the internal
and external tranquillity of States more surely
established, than at the present moment" This
alitision- to the-" external tranquillity of States"

a fresh contradiction. of the rumoured intention of
FraUce and her Allies to join Spain in an attack
on: South America., That a new light is broken
in upon the Councils of European -Monarchs
since the sentiments of England respecting the
independence of the New World have been re-
echoed by the United States, becomes every day
snore probable. Those who were deaf to the
claims of justice, are disposed to pay more at-
tention to those of prudence, and to abstain from
an'-etiterprize • which could never rP-establish
despotism in America, and might shake its exist-
ence in Europe.

[BRITISH PR ESS.I
• T.he Moniteur of Tuesday, in its non-official
part, states, under date from Vienna, the 25th of
gecember, that a mutual understanding between
Russia and the' Porte again prevails, effected
through the Austrian Internuncio, who succeeded
ln making the Reis Effendi most comfortable on
4fie subject of the Russian hordes stationed in
Podolia Volhynia, and the neighbouring pro-1
vinces; and that a pert of these mercenaries
who were cantoned in Bessarabia, the pro-
vinCe which adjoins Turkish Moldavi,), hay-
-srik been withdrawn. to more distant can-
e T
lents from the urkish frontiers, the Divan,

stll.,Was,„ that through the disinterested negocia.-
Cons, of ,Baron Otteafels, the Austrian Inter-
nuffoto, hermony was in pi.ospect again; and the
provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia, it was ex-
pected, would be evacuated by the Turkish
bands. This consummation, however, we very
udi.doubt : Turkey is now in anything but good
temper with her Grecksubjects, and little inclin-
ed go make any concessions to Russia, whom she
esteems the author of the revolt. In proportion

rating her part of apparent disinterestedness, and
affecting only to be anxious that her confederate
(Russia) and Turkey should be terms of
amity. -The 'destiny of the latter power is, how.

venture to assert that the independence of
Greece is ultimately assured. The • third cam-
