FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY ee, 1828.

The French Papers of Tuesday partly confirm the
account of warlike preparations •by the SULTAN.
It is said that one hundred thousand Asiatic
troops have arrived in the environs of Constan-
tinople to strengthen the - European army of
the SULT tN—that is, troops, disciplined in the
European manner. If this really be true, and
that the SULTAN intends seriously to provoke the
vengeance of the Allied Powers, he will soon
have cause to repent his folly. The thing is
perfectly absurd, that Turkey, even though backed
by all the barbarian hordes of the East can hope to
sustain, far less repel, the conjoint attack of the
three most powerful nations in the world. How-
ever, at present, concurring accounts from all parts
of the Levant, tend to prove that the SULTAN is
in earnest—whether to gain more favourable terms,
or to seal his destiny by recourse to arms, remains
to be seen. His duplicity in gaining time will avail
him little, even though his forces' should treble their,
number, and their enthusiasm be as great as his own.
But we cannot yet believe that he will risk his
own safety and that of the Turkish Empire, by so
' rash a proceeding. The battle of Navarin is only a
foretaste of what awaits him in•the event of 'war.

We have observed of late► in a Morning Paper,
several attacks upon Mr. MusKtssoN, in a tone of
personality which appears to us to pass the limits of
what is justifiable political hostility, and particularly
founded upon a conversation which took place at a
private dinner party.

Mr. HUSKISSON. is charged with having made a
declaration in a precise form of words, " in words
to Lady CANNING and in writing to Lord SEAFORD."
Stress is laid upon this, as proving " a double delibe-
ration," and it is added, that " this cannot be denied."
In the next day's paper a positive denial appears
on authority, stating that Mr. HUSKISsON had never
written to Lord SEAFORD on the subject.
To-day a third article appears, beginning with a
flourish about veracity and equivocation—with what
sort of grace, from those whe have been convicted
of stating as an undeniable fact what, it is now ad-
mitted, must have been either an invention, or an
inference grossly, if not wilfully false—we need
not point out.

Those who are so little scrupulous about facts
capable of proof, are not exactly the parties to claim
implicit confidence in assertions, which rest only on-
the necessarily vague authority of ungnmded and
confidential conversation.

Frankfort Papers, of the 15th tilt., have been re-
ceived, this morning, but they contain no late news.
The Greeks prosecuted the investment of Scio with
great spirit.

A Morning Cotenaporary has stated, that the
Duke --of WELLINGTOIV called at the Treasury,
and found all absent; whom he wished to see.
We hase a Shrewd suspicion that it was our Heraldic
friend, and not the Noble Duke, who made
an unsuccessful effort at the Treasury.

THE FUNDS—(THIS DAY).
CITY, Twgr.rE o'Cr.o'r.

From the variety 'of opinions entertained on the subject
of nor foreign political relations with tegard to Turkish
affairs, added to the uncertainty which attends the measures
of the Finance Committee, the Consul market has been in
a confused state this morning, and Consols, which opened
at 84?-„ were done at that price and 8441 at one and the
same moment. The Bears, who forbode nothing but war
in the East, are calculating upon a fall in the price of Con-
lois, to which the differences among the members of a cer-
tain assembly have, in a great measure, materially contri-
buted to cause a growing feeling against their advance ; but
against this the Bulls say money is abundant, and stock
scarce, in favour of a contrary opinion ; the present price
is 84 , after being 844 for this, and b 44 for April
account. India Bonds are 92 4, and Exchequer Bills, 60
61 pm.
The Foreign Securities are still dial and heavy ; them
has been. some demand for Brazil and Buenos Ayres Stock.
Russian Bonds sympathize with the fail in Consols; the
present are the quotations; Brazilian Bonds, 624-; Buenos
Ayres, 37 8 ; Colombian, 244 25 ; Mexican 6 per Cents.,

Shares have little activity. Accounts are at length ar-
rived from Rio of the Bth of December. The Exchange
was 324-, and looking up, but there was no political intelli-
gence by this conveyance. An account has been received
of the last seven days!. workings of the Brazil Mines, which
amount to nearly 48 lbs. weight of gold ; the premium,
however, drops; and is now 43 45 ; Colombian are 61 5i
dis. ;• Real' del Monte, 40 30 dis., and United Mexican,
21 20 dim.
