CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

An Express from Paris has brought private
letters, giving very strong assurances that the
fears lately felt respecting the Law for the Re-
duction of the Rentes are no longer entertained
in the higher political circles. These assurances
are reiterated, in consequence of the echo of the
first alarm upon this subject having not yet sub-
aided. This Express has brought the price of
the French Recites on Thursday, 1041. 90c. for
money.

The British Stock Market is heavy this morn-
ing, and but little doing. Consols opened at 96
and are now 95Z- for the account.

FOREIGN MA RKET.—The market is rather
dull, and there is hilt little doing in any kind of
Foreign Stock. Portuguese opened at 931, and
are now 94.

Our City Correspondent' yesterday expressed
his reliance on the authenticity of the important in-
telligence from Lisbon, contained in THE SUN of
the preceding day, although it had not yet been
confirmed from any other quarter than that
whence the information was originally derived.
The article, however, which we yesterday ex-
tracted from the Second Edition of the Exeter
Flying Post, though it does not bring down the
accounts from Portugal to a later date than the
4t,h, certainly tends to corroborate the intelligence
transmitted to us from the City. Our City
Corespondent, after announcing the fact
of the termination of the crisis, said, " the
failure of the Queen and the Infant is chiefly
attributed to the great and judicious exertions of
Lord BERESFORD and Sir EDWARD THORNTON."
The letter communicated to the Exeter Flying
Post says, that before the Corps Diplomatique
succeeded in gaining admission to the King,
44 Lord BERESFORD and Sir E. THORNTON ap-
plied for entrance at the Palace;" and that
after they had, in common with the Foreign
Ministers, gained access to llis MAJESTY, " Sir
EDWARD THORNTON said, he was COM.
manded by the King of ENGLAND to offer
every assistance which the King of PORTU-
GAL may require to support his power. This de-
claration completely settled the business." But in
addition to this corroboration, there is a still more
satisfactory one in the Morning Chronicle of this
day, which we subjoin :

" It is confidently asserted that intelligence was yesterday
received from Lisbon, dated on the 9th current, by an overland
Express, which fully confirms that part of the information
contained in The Chronicle of yesterday morning, communi-
cated by a letter, dated in the Portuguese capital on the 7th
instant. It is impossible to come at the particular information
received by this conveyance; but it is said Count PALKELLA
had been again restored to his ministerial functions. PASIPLUNA
is not, however, mentioned. The Royal Rebel had, it is also
said, retired to the country, and Lord BERESFORD, and the
British Minister, continued to enjoy the confidence of his
.MOST FAITHFUL MAJESTY. A Lisbon Mail is now due,
and a few days will put an end to the.existing suspense."

The information of the 7th, given yesterday by
the Chronicle, was in fact the identical informa-
tion given on Thursday by the Sun ; and if it be
true that accounts of the 9th have been received,
then the important intelligence in question is
fully confirmed.—We shall probably hear some-
thing further on the subject before our present
Paper is put to press.

We have received French Papers of Wednes-
day, and the Etoile of Thursday. They contain
no intelligence from Portugal later than the 4th,
and are therefore several days behind us on that
important subject. The proceedings of the
French Chambers were unimportant, and will
scarcely possess any interest till this day, when
the Report of the Commission in favour of Mr.
BENJAMIN CONSTANT'S admission is to be dis-
cussed. The Illoniteur of Wednesday announces
the presentation to the KING of Mr. CASA To-
ItIGO, Secretary to the Spanish Legation, in the

quality of Charge d'Affaires, till the arrival of the
new Ambassador, whom FERDINAND had sent to
Paris, but who, it was said, had been stopped as
soon as he reached France, under some pretence
or other, but really because he was not favoura-
bly viewed by the French Government. It
had become mown to the Conductors of the
Paris Journals that serious apprehensions were
entertained for the fate of the Project of Law
for the Reduction of the Rentes in the Chamber,
of Peers. The Readers of FILE SUN were ap-
prized of these fears so long ago as last Monday.
The Parift Papers now state that great interest

was excited respecting the approaching di.cus-
sion by the Peers of the proposal to reduce the
annuities. It was anticipated that the opposition

in the Upper would be considerably stronger
than in the Lower Chamber. The Ministers, it is
even stated, were so alarmed as to propose to the
ohl►onents of the scheme to retrench the advantages
held out to the associated foreign bankers by
whom the Minister of Finance and his scheme
are supported. This• condition, however, was
not to be openly given or exacted in the Cham-
ber, but to depend upon the faith of the Govern-
ment, secretly pledged. The accounts from
Spain are of the usual complexion. Every ex-
ertion is made to enslave the minds as well as
the persons of the Spaniards. The rigour of
the Government and the Police is turned
against books in an especial manner. Pri-
vate libraries are ransacked for obnoxious
works, and the proprietor, if compromised,
is severely punished. To add to the miserieS
and distraction of this unhappy nation, the
French and Serviles are literally at daggers
drawn. Some lives have been sacrificed on bOth
sides at Badajos, where Frenchmen are garrison-

ed. The accounts from Greece slier, that upon
the whole the Greeks are gaining upon their op-
pressors ; and there seems reason to doubt the
efficiency of the Turkish expedition with which
their independence has been threatened for so
long a time. The following are extracts
(Moniteur ofifirednesday, May 19.)

The official part contains only the mention of the presenta-
tion of M. Casa Irugo, Secretary to the Spanish Legation, in the
quality of Charge d'Affaires, till the arrival of the new Ambas-
sador whom King Ferdinand intends to send to Paris.
The non-official part is filled with Lisbon news of the 3d.,
extracts from the English journals, and the debates of the
Chambers.

The Etoile, dated Thursday, contains nothing at all interest-
ing besides the news from Greece, in the other morning papers,
unless it be the following :
PrapiGNAN, MAY 10.—ll. Bernard de Titcon, Lieutenant
of a frigate in the service of his Catholic Majesty, arrived here
yesterday by the diligence from Barcelona. Ile is going t°
Marseilles and Toulon, on a mission which concerns his •Ma-
jesty's service, by virtue of a passport delivered at Toledo, by
Count Ofalia, the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs.

pers to a late date, but they contain ❑othing

worth extracting.

In anothor column we have inserted at full
length the Treaty concluded between Great
Britain and the Kingdom of the Netherlands,
part of which only appeared in THE SUN of
yesterday.

The Bill for removing the existing restrictions
on Silk Manufacturers in London was read a third time and
passed last night in the House of Peers, after a division, in
which 61 voted for, and 55 against the measure. About 10 or
15,000 Journeymen Silk Weavers were assembled in New
Palace-yard and the vicinity to wait the result of the struggle.
In the Commons the Wool Importation and Exportation Duties
Bill went through a Committee, and a clause was added to it
by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER for allowing the
exportation of Wool after the 10th of December next. This
clause excited some discussion and produced a division, in which
the numbers for the Bill were 180, and those against it 20.
The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER announced it to be his
intention to give up the proposed alteration in the Beer Duties
when the Bill gets into the Committee, but the Right Hon.
Gentleman persists in that part of the measure which relates to
the retailing of malt liquor.

Mr. HUME, last night, presented to the House
of Commons the Report of the Committee on the Combination
Laws, Artisans, &c., founded on the great body of evidence
collected by them. It directs the Chairman, Mr. Huts, to
move for leave to bring in various Bills-1, To repeal the re-
strictions on masters and workmen regarding the rate of wagcs
and the hours of working : also the Common Law under which
a peaceable meeting of masters and workmen is prosecutable as
a conspiracy ; 2, To amend the laws respecting arbi`rations
between masters and workmen; and 3, To repeal 1• c laws
which prevented artizans from going abroad. As to ques-
tion connected with the exportation of machinery, the Commit-
tee have come to no other result than that of recommending
further inquiry into the subject. We understand that the

Samee, Black Billy, Harlequin, Columbine and
Clown, in the Fantoccini. Their Majesties ex-
pressed themselves highly pleased with the en-
tertainment, and rewarded the Managers with a
