LONDON.
Rph„,
Z4ESD Ay EVENLNC, SEPTEMBER 17, 1928.

urivate letters received yesterday from Paris
4lte, that a Treaty would shortly appear of an
teensive and defensive nature, between France
aild. Russia, touching the affairs of the East of
b
"I.°Pe ; but it was understood that this Treaty
Pi'Llid not, in any degree, interfere with the
eXisting friendship between France and England.
This may be understood by those who have an
i_
°.terest in believing desirable news, but we are
;41.Y much mistaken indeed if the fact of such a
Treaty can exist with the friendly concurrence
of England. If Russia and France under-
stand each other, at whose expence must
it be but that of England ? England may
not lose
an inch of ground, but may suffer
far more than millions of acres could com-
pensate. The prosperity of England does
11'4 depend upon the possession of terri-
tory, so much as upon the power of a friendly
and commereial intercourse with the owners of
arch territory. We wish not to cultivate the land,
but to barter the produce of our own labour and
manufactures for the surplus production of those
%untries with which we trade. Now, it is
dear, if France and Russia understand each
Lther, that they will not suffer England to
barter her manufactures in preference to their
°wo, with countries over which they obtain a
commanding influence. It is upon this principle
then, we say, that France and Russia cannot
%ter into a secret treaty with respect to the
arfairs of the East, without prejudice to England.
knd will England submit to this indirect inter-
ference ? Judging from her recent policy, we
4a) She will—but judging from her policy under
the spirited and enlightened Administration of
111. r. CANNING, we say that France and Rus-
4ja would not have dared to contemplate
41111 eh a treaty—far less have framed it.
tit those days are gone !—and the French
dhow it. The Russians, too, rejoice in
the.tiwide latitude which is opened to their ambi-
t:n by the pusillanimous policy of England.
en bon MlGUEL—that precious Imp of Le-
eitilnacY--who fled in terror from Mr. CAN-
llll4G's manly promptitude—now returns to
titiile former haunt of his follies, but now,
,of his crimes--and laughs to scorn the
b4je3tY of England, whose Foreign policy has
:eh so conducted as to ensure either his friend-
84ip or contempt.

e received at a "late hour yesterday afternoon
the liamburgh Reporter to the 13th inst. It
(10es not contain any later news from the theatre
q War than was previously received through
°ther channels. A report prevailed that the
Russians had suffered a severe defeat in Little
Wallaclaia, but the report was not much cre-
tlited. It is not however to be supposed that
hw Russians cau be successful everywhere.
betached portions of their army must occasion-
-7IIY come in contact with superior numbers of
the enemy, and that too in situations wholly
iBadvantageous to the weaker party, but a casual
'444 of this kind is surely not to be laid hold
of as evincing either the general superiority of
he Turks, or the imferiority of the Russians.

he Allgemeine Zeitung of the 9th instant
c°lltains the following

TBANICTORT, SEPT. c_.
i!irbrate letters from Paris ascribe the late rise in the
bahespecially the five per cents., to the large purchases
hare lately been made in them by the Spaniards
"aiished front Mexico ; should this be true, it would
tionhtleas be important in its effects in the traffic in the
ernment securities in general. It would appear, that
e"sequence of the emigration of those Spaniards to
44".°110, the mass of capital represented by the precious
44, on the whole, increased in the great money
ar k ets of Europe fur the these capitals will, for the present, be
--e most part placed in Government securities, 28
r
af
•fording the quickest return of interest, and consequently
4i4.3 the prices everywhere by the re• action of
"5 place on another. Mr. Nathan Rothschild, the
bt:,nler' will set out on Thursday next to return
to
by way of Ilamburgh. A Decree of the Legis-
4"e body of this city, of the 29th ult., has introduced
wh.riius regulations for the facility of trade. The difference
'Zeh has subsisted for many years in the duties paid upon
s introduced by the gates on the land and river side is
toll 1111. ed, so that henceforward they will be equal. The
,Pa.ld for draught horns, which increased the expence of
Vherttaeriap, is reduced, and the oppressive double toll
o leVied during the autumnal fair is also abolished.
4rue expences, to which pal titular goods were liable, are

to cease on the Ist of October, and all the duties are to
be levied only according to the specitic weight of the mer-
chandise, and the money all of one standard. The Magis-
trates are likewise engaged in revising the Title' of rates
paid at the city weigh-house, which are to lie reduced.
Lastly, we ought to mention, as a very important circum-
stance, the determination to repair the towing path on the
whole course of the Maine through the territory of Frank-
fort, which, by length of time, has become so deteriorated
as to be of little use. This evil is to be remedied by a
thorough repair, the expence of which is estimated at
52,000 florins.

It cannot at present be determined to what degree the
rivalship of Offenbach may injure our trade. It is certain,
however, that no difference either in the weight or the
quality of the goods brought to our autumnal fair is yet to
be perceived when it is compared, nor in the average of the
fair, for many years back, with respect to wool in particular;
the quantity now here does not indeed exceed 500 bales,
but fresh supplies are daily arriving, se that nothing posi-
tive can be decided respecting the amount that will be on
sale.

The French Papers give no news from the
seat of war in Europe, but announce the capture
Of two more fortresses by General PASKE-
WITCH in Asia. Thirty-four standards, and
several thousand prisoners, were the fruits of
the victory. A report was generally spread
at Odessa, that the EMPEROR has rejected
the conciliatory proposals of Lord HEYTES-
BURY. With respect to the departure of Nl-
ciroLAs to the army, it is said that he will first
goto inspect the military establishments at Sebas-
topol, and that he willnotreturn to Kustendje till
about the 10th of September. It was expected
that by that time the fate of Varna would be de-
cided.

A report prevailed on the Continent that the
Great Capitalist of this Country—ROTHS-
CHlLD—was going to furnish the Emperor
NICHOLAS with a loan of five millions sterling•

Our City Correspondent says, it is confidently
reported in the City, that the young Queen of
PORTUGAL has arrived at Falmouth—and that
the Marquis •PALMELLA and Viscount ITA-
BAYANA have gone down to receive her.

The following letter has been received by
Messrs. LONGRIDGE and Co., of the City, from
the Foreign Office, dated Sept. 13, 1828 :

Gentlemen—ln reply to your letter of the 21st ult.,
requesting to be informed whether the blockade of Algiers
is still enforced by the French Government, I ant di-
rected by the Earl of Aberdeen to acquaint you, that it
appears by a despatch received from his Majesty's Am-
bassador, that the French Government far from being dis-
posed to relax the blockade of that port, have directed
an additional naval force to be stationed off it, for the
purpose of enforcing it with the greatest strictness.
I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
(Signed) J. BACK HOUSE.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TvesLrx o'Ciocr
Consols left off yesterday at 88i, and opened at
that price this morning ; the market has been since
extremely heavy from sales of money stock, and to-
morrow, being a strict fast kept by the Hebrews,
is likely to want their support in case of need;
another cause has been assigned, that of a Bank
meeting taking place at the same time, upon which
some uncertainty seems to be entertained of the
subject of their deliberations. Consols, from these
causes, have since given way, and are 87i I for
Money, and 871 88 for the Account; India Bonds
continue to rise, and purchases have been made by the
public as high as 95 pm.; Exchequer Bills, 74 75.
The dividend hunters have been buying Bra-
zilian, Danish, and Russian Stock, the former are
641 ; Danish, 64 4; and the latter, 944. Some
stir has taken place in Portuguese Stock, arising
from a disbelief in the report of the expected pay-
ment of the dividends, and the Bonds declined from
.56 to 55 4, but have since rallied to 55k, from its
being known that the Portuguese Diplomatists
have been paid their arrears of five months; this is
supposed to indicate a desire in the Government to
keep their engagements. Some extensive purchases
of Greek Bonds have also taken place for French
and Dutch account, and they have improved to 194.
In Shares nothing doing, and prices remain with-
out variation.
