k'or the PAttLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS of last night,

The remainder of Tuesday's French Papers
arrived last night. The Constitutionnel contains
an article (taken from Tr; St5N of the 11th ill St.),
911 the probability of the Old Spanish Bonds
being at length recognized by 17 ERN N AND VII.;
and as the Constittaionnel had not thought it ne-
cessary to give its authority for the article in
question, it has been copied, as French news, by
several of the London Papers of this morning.
We have still reason to believe that a negociation
f" a new Loan to Spain is on the tapis—that one
of Its bases is the acknowledgment of the Con-
stitutional Bonds at 30—and that pretty confident
i'xPectations are entertained of a favourable issue.
The following are the only articles in the Tues-
day's Paris Papers which are worth extracting.
The brilliant exploit of the heroic Greek ODYS-
SEUS, we hope, will be soon fully confirmed :
French Papers to the 16th inst. arrived last
night. The principal article of their contents is
the following, which, however, is not official :
" It is at length probable that the Spanish Bonds, so un-
justly and so imprudently repudiated by the Spanish Ministry
will be recognized and received at the rate of 30 per cent. in
a new Loan, which is on the eve of taking place. Several
highly respected commercial houses in London are negotiating
at this moment a new Loan with the Spanish Government, on
the basis that the Constitutional Bonds shall be received in
Payment at the rate which we have just mentioned, and it is
ttirnily believed that the negociation will terminate in a satis-
trthrY manner. The Madrid Cabinet ought to be convinced

Pie Frankfort Gazettc publishes the following interesting
de ails of the capture of Carysto in Eubcea, by the gallant.

and pretends that it is not-entitled to credit, ne-
cause the Speetateur Oriental, the Turkish Moniteur, asserts
that Carysto still remained in the hands of its Patrons !
4` CORFU, PEn. s.—lt was Odysseus who conceived the
bold
resolution of taking Carysto by storm. For this purpose,
he assembled on the Ilth December his troops, to the number
of about 5000 men • he addressed them in a very animated
Speech, in which he dwelt on the importance of the place,
which decided the possession of the Isleof Negmpont. The
h.ext morning (after some religious ceremonies) he gave the
,!final for the attack, which ended in the capture of the town.
rhe whole Turkish garrison which had committed innumer-
able- cruelties while in possession of the fortress was put to the
sword. Only the women, children, and old men were spared,
who were immediately embarked for Asia:Minor on board ships
(2f war cruizing in the channel. The victors found in the for-
'ells provisions for more than two months, a great quantity of
ammunition, many cannon, and muskets. The Isle of Ne-
r°Pont may now be considered as entirely in the hands of the
,reeks,”

New York Papers arrived this morning to the
19th February, but they do not contain any in.
formation ; and Virginia Papers to the 14tH Fe-
bruary, also void of interest.

CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Little or no business
doing in the above Market. Consols opened fur
the Account at 931:17 got up to 938, and lowered
again to 938, at which price they remain
Steady. A private Express is said to have

rived from Paris; bringing the Rentes at
101 f. 25c. but at the close of the Market they
lowered to 100 f. 60c.
FOREIGN MARKET.--The above Market opened
with the New Insurance Company's Shares, which
were done at 141 to 15 prem. An attempt was
"lade at the opening of the Market to depress the
above shares ; but it had not the least effect, and
they stood their ground. Scarcely any thing
alonus areoing in
Foreign Securities. The following new
talked of—Brazil, Neapolitan Co-
lombia
-Pa"ish, and Chili.

Petitions continue to be presented to Parlia-
ment for the abolition of Slavery in the West
Indies. The conduct of Government towards
those Colonies, however, and the course to be
Pursued for the gradual improvement of the
slave population, may be considered as decided.
It is not a little singular that one of the strongest
arguments of the Abolitionists, in the discussion
or the question through the medium of the public
Press, has been drawn from the alleged fact,
that the labour of a free peasantry and other
free classes of workmen, -is cheaper than
the
labour of slaves,—in other words, that the
IPeasantry of Ireland (when employed), and a
large proportion of the labouring classes in Eng-
_"(l, Work harder, and for a less remuneration,
"11111 the West Indian Negroes ! Now, whatever
IlikY be the intellectual or imaginary pleasures of
state of freedom, we conceive that the Negroes
le ould not be, in the present state of their moral
Pa nd intellectual faculties extremely desirous of
urchaiing their enjoyment at the cost of in-
creased labour in the cane fields, and of the sa-
crifice of some part of (s those physical comforts
(such as they are) now provided for them by
their masters. Even the English and Irish
Peasantry, in times of severe distress occusiOned by
scarcity of employment, the low rates of wages,
or the dearness of provisions, would probably
b.e willing to exchange some portion of their
liberties for an improvement in the domestic
c...ondition of their families. Perhaps the West
of
Planters could not adopt a better mode
er conciliating their slaves to the slow pro-
r,?ss of gradual melioration contemplated by the
'-nvernment, and of reconciling them in the mean
ittnn,.e to their lot, than that of extensively circu-
ofutt,lic amongst them, in an authentic form, some
