Yesterday the Consols for the settlement on
Friday
,next opened at 95ii, but notwithstand,
ng the great abundance of money, there does not
appear much inclination to invest capital in them
at present. The lfd Exchequer Bills. are at ,a
premium of .from 44 to 47 per hundred pounds,
for they are considered a safe channel for the in-
vestinent 'of surplus capital, even although they
should leave no annual interest whatever. The
deplorable condition to which Spain has been re-
duced,a'nd the Critical situation in which Portugal
is now 'placed, are viewed with no small degree
of alarm by the monied interest of Europe, for by
them it is not difficult to see, that the seeds of
distrust are' deeply implanted amongst the na-
tions of Europe already. On the Foreign Stock
Exchange the Brokers were chiefly occupied in
settling the account' for the middle of this month,
,which, in American Securities, has turned out
to be. what is technically called " a Bull ac-
count." The sales consequently were heavy, and
Mexican Scrip declined one per cent., and Co-
lombian Bonds 1i per cent. There are heavy
instalnients now due on these Stocks, and the
whole of the Mexican will be paid up to-day,
when its value will be quoted by the price of the
Bonds, without any reference to the contract
price. At present these Bonds leave an annual
interest of little less than ten per cent., and if no
convulsion happens in the Government, they are
certainly open to a most extensive improvement.

If he finds the Government sufficiently con-
Olidated to receive a representative of his Bri-
tannic Majesty. Peruvian Scrip has fallen to a
diconnt of 20 per cent. and is exceedingly un-
saleable at this decline. General San Martin
proceeds forthwith to join General Bolivar in
Peru, and much benefit cnay be expected to the
cause of liberty, front the military' talents, local
knowledge, and personal influence which he is
known so abundantly to possess. The new Buenos
Ayres Loan has fallen to par, so that even the
patronage,of Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co. is
not Sufficient to protect the credit of this Re-
public, purged fifteen years ago of Spanish influ-
ence, and now in the enjoyment of the most pro-
found traiiquillity,from the hostility of a party who
cannot view, without regret, the progress of civi-
lization amongst mankind. Spanish Bonds are
per cent. higher, because rumours are still con-
fidently circulated, that the beloved Ferdinand
finds he cannot raise any money until he acknow-
ledge the Validity of the debts which he already
owes. Neapolitan Bonds are + per cent, lower,
for which the only reasonable cause is, the gene-
ral want of confidence which at present exists
in the public debts of all nations. Northern Se-
curities maintain their prices, but the business
done in them is not to any great extent. In
the Austrian and Portuguese Bonds no business
has been done. French Recites a►re in demand.

The last advises from Lisbon to the loth
represent that city to be still in a very unsettled
state. Many arrests had been made, tied amongst
them the editor of a popular journal was includ-
ed. The movements of the disaffected are closely
patched, and their hopes of success are declining.
But the army remains as much as ever a source►
of uneasiness and alarm to the King, who, it is
understood, persists in requiring military aid
from this country. His Most Faithful Majesty

that British troops had been applied for, and the

[TIII4 TIMES.]
'Me French papers of Sunday, which arrived
last night, contain a judicial decision *extremely
important in the present state of French politics,
cud in the present position of the French Cabinet
—namely, one which relates to a journal prose,
cuted on the law of tendency. The Courier
Francais' was last year brought before the

Royal Court on a charge of having, in more
than a hundred articles, given utterance to
sentiments whose tendency was subversive of 'le-
gitimate government. These articles were chief-
ly directed against the policy of the Spanish war,
and the principles of national interference pro-
fessed by the Ifoly Alliance. It was brought
its an unpardonable offence against the journal,
that it had spoken with levity of die Army of
the Faith, when that army was described as
rebels by the Allied Government, which it was
osudeaveuring to subvert ; and had praised the
Constitutional Government of-Spain at the time'
when that Government had an Ambassador at
the Court of the Tuileries. The whole charge,
in fact, was made up of absurdities and iticon-
oistencles like these, not alleged-to be contained
