LONDON,
VEDNEADAY EVENING, JANUARY 17, 1827•

We received last night the several French Papers
Saturday and Sunday ; and at an early hour this morn-,
big an express reached town, bringing an Etoile of the
date of yesterday morning.

The latter communicates to us that a considerable
decline in the Funds had taken place in Paris on
Monday, which is said, by private letters' received by
the express, to have been occasioned by rumours of
war. The 3 per cents. had been as low as 66f. 30c.,
but left off at 66f. 60c., and the 5 per cents, at 99.

This last number of the Etoile has not a word of,

news from Spain and Portugal, but in quoting a para-
graph from the Quotidicnyte O'er the purpose of class-
ing i(under Lies of the Day) which stated,'that cc the
Etoile announces that there are 30,000 men assembled
on the frontiers of Portugal," the Etoile observes,---'
We said it was affirmed, that there would he above
30,000 men on the line, but we do not believe that
there arc 10,000 at this 4 moment." This, however,
by no means amounts to a contradiction of the asser-
tions of the other papers. It is understood that the
Paris Morning Papers of Monday do not contain any
more recent news from the Peninsula than that in the
papers of the preceding day, which brought the accounts
from Madrid down to the 4th inst., at which time no
conclusive determination had been taken by FEB'
DINAND. Mr. LAMB still remained there,
but the greatest activity in the military depart-
ments
continued. Of the 30,000 men which
it is said will be assembled along the line from
Galicia to Estremadura, 3,000 are to be cavalry ; and
it was then rumoured that Lieutenant General SARS-
FIELD will have the chief command, with Major
Generals RODIL, OREIL, SEUTI, &c., under Vim/
in command of divisions. The same letters mentioned
that M. de LIMA would be received on the following
day at Court as Charge D'Affaires, in return for the
reinstatement of Count de CASAS FLORES, in his
functions as Ambassador at Lisbon. The intelligence ,
from Portugal, in these papers, has been entirely an-
ticipated
by our direct communications from Lisbon.
The arrival in Paris of the Prince de POLIGNAC, the
French Ambassador at our Court, has given rise to
various surmises ; and it would really seem that his
visit had connection witl► some important political or ,
ministerial arrangements. This Nobleman has had
frequent audiences with the King of FRANCE, the
Minister for Foreign Affairs, and M. de VILLELE•
The Courrier Francais of Sunday affirms that he
will not return to London, but that this change
does not arise from any alteration in the political
relations between Great Britain and France.---
The Prince is said to be too warm a Catho-
lic for a Protestant Country, and to dislike the
policy of M. DE VILLELE with respect to Spain and
Portugal. Hints are thrown out that the Prince will
be sent on a special mission into Spain, or that as he
is the principal hope of the Aristocratic and devout
Party, M. DE VILLELE will cede to him his direction
of public affairs. Whether these reports may in some
degree explain the fall in the French Funds we will
not say: but there can be no doubt that matters. of

high • Prince
France.

We observe by the Etoile that he was to set out for
Louvain as yesterday.
We subjoin the Extracts from the Etoile received
this morning, and in our former columns will be
found extracts fro►n the Papers of the two preceding
days :

(From the Etoilc, dated Tuesday.)
ST. PETERSBURG/I, DEC. 30.—The Gazette of the Senate has
Just published the Letters patent which his Majesty the Emperor
has been pleased to grant to the Moravian brethren in Russia.

LIES OF THE DAY.
PARIs, JAN. 15.—The Constitutionnel.—The Minister
of Finance could only obtain by bribery the information he has
Procured respecting the receipt and expenditure of the Constitu-
tiotind.

The Quotidienne. -The Etoile announces that there are
30,000 men assembled on the frontiers of Portugal.
(We said it was affirmed at Madrid that there would be above
30,000 men on the line, but we do not believe that there are
1000 at this mome,nt.)
The Prince de Polignac, who had a private audience yesterday
0f his Majesty, before mass, sets out to-morrow for Louvain.
Accounts from Paraguay say, that on the 18th September per-
fect tranquillity prevailed there, in spite of the troubles that had
been excited by Lieut.-Col. Abendano. Zapidas, who still corn-
"lands, had thanked the tribunal for its zeal in trying the guilty.
The Etoile has not a word of news from Spain or Portugal.
The Count de Lanjuinaits, Peer of France, has just been carried
ft., by a disorder of only four days' duration. His obsequies will
take Place on the 16th.
The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies for examining the
Project of Law on the Press has appointed M. Dudon its Presi-
dent and M. Macquillie its Secretary.
Nats, JAN. 15.-A letter of the above date, accompanying
the express from Paris, says-
" A considerable decline has to-day taken place in the funds.
The only reason assigned for which is vague rumours of war.
" The Three per Cents. have been as low as 66f. 30c., and
left off at four o'clock at 66f. 60c. The Five per Cents. have
been down to 98f. 90c., and left off at 99f. 20c."

We have received a Nuremburgh Correspondent,
of the 6th instant, which contains the following article
,00 the often discussed queStion of the free navigation
of the Rhine
NUREMBURGH, JAN. s.—Aceounts from Frankfort say, "The
hope of an arrangement between Prussia and the Netherlands, re-
Vecting the navigation of the Rhine, is again diminished. We
hear that the Prussian Court is by no means inclined to consider
the ordinance of the Ding of the Netherlands, lately published, as
completely fulfilling the article of the Act of Congress ou this sub-
ject. Fresh negociations will he opened under the mediation of
41Istria, and, it is believed, under that of England likewise."
VIENNA, JAN. 3.—Metalliques, 88 3-16 ; Bank Shares, 1085.

In another part of our Paper will be found an ab-
stract of a letter addressed to Lord LIVERPOOL, upon
a subject of the highest national importance—the re-
duction of the public burdens to an enormous amount,
Without trenching particularly upon the interests of the
Landholder—Placeholder—or Fundholder, while it
Proposes, in its-comprehensive grasp, to benefit all
classes of the community. There can be no doubt
that such a plan is very desirable if practicable, and,
in order the more effectually to understand it, we have
given the plan and the arguments by which it is sup-
Ported at greater length than is usually devoted to
Pamphlets.

The author—a member of the Merchant Coin-
PallY of Edinburgh—seems to be well versed in
the subject of Finance, and he is entitled to more
consideration, as his views are founded upon a liberal
atandard—having no partial favour for one party at
the expense of another, but including all in the opera-
tion of a system in which all are presently interested and
Prospectively benefited. His plan resolves itself into four
parts—the first is to repeal the Assessed Taxes, which
be says will relieve the country five millions annually ;
the second, to reduce all pay emanating from Go-
yernment, in whatever shape, one fourth, which will
produce eight nzillions ;—the third is the repeal of
the Corn Laws, which will lighten the public burdens
twenty:five millions ; and the fourth, a gradual reduc-
tion of the National Debt, which will produce, with
other savings, aboutiburteen millions ; making alto-
gether, a saving off/fly-two millions annually. Now
all this golden economy appears too good to he true,
and strongly reminds us of the provident soldier, who
saved half-a-crown out of sixpence a day." But a
Story is not the worse for being marvellous, nor is a
Plan the less practicable because it is bold—the diffi-
eulty in either case lies in the want of faith or lack of
intrepidity. The author says very justly, that the re-
peal of the Assessed taxes would be generally popular,
but that the reduction of the pay of all those in the
"lee of Government would be felt as a grievance ;
while a free trade in corn would be very unwelcome to
the Landholders—and lastly, that a reduction of the
N'lttinnal Debt would raise a hue and cry, not only at
home
() but abroad. Now, there may be good reason
be
all these objections, if the interests of the parties
) :
taken separately, but not so if collectively consi-
(led• A man who has the wind and tide against
hllll't 'nay well envy the progress of him who has the
in his favour, and still more so the fortune of him

in kit the case of all would be altered if the four were
tkthe same boat. They would stern the tide or por-
ta a the gale alike, and swim or sink together—buoy-
-4.1,0n
.ths tide of prosperity, or lowered by the ebb of
adversity. Their condition would thus be equal-
-71..tt each be equally interested in the success of the
of this
or the safety of the vessel. Now, the people
r:
~ country are, or ought to be equally interested
r_6,n.e prosperity of the nation and the stability of its
brlotit. Supposing the country to be divided into four
• 'inches grower consumer tax-gatherer and
tusks creditor, and that these four were in the same
°,O at low water, would the relative situation of each be
altered_ by their elevation on the full tide, or their depres-
h:l by the returning ebb r' Clearly not. Such has been
of position of this Country prior to the accumulation
the'n,e debt--such is its present condition. But though
ka°llt parties of grower—consumer—tax-gatherer—
f ttublic creditor, are all interested in a fair adjustment
e business, they do not act with the same libera-
the Appear to touch but oneinterest, and you alarm
Kati
°til ers. They wake the cry of public faith and
onal honour while they think only of selfish secu-

rity. But if all are called upon to sacrifice alike in
a case of general concern, where is the individual
grievance ? Four birds are called on to supply a
feather each to form the plume of national prosperity—
all murmur—the first bird who suffers, nat u rally awakens
the sympathy of the others—but when the second
comes to be plucked, his cries are doubly plaintive—
and the third is three times more wretched by witness-
ing the distress of the other two, coupled with his own
apprehension—while the fourth in his turn makes four
times as much noise as all the others, though it is clear that
he suffers no more than the first. Thus, each man's case
is the hardest in his own estimation, as every bird is
best pleased with its own music, however discordant
to others. But those notes are by far the sweetest
that conduce to the general harmony. We would
therefore enforce the necessity of cordial co-operation
in a cause of common interest ; for that policy is but
short-sighted which enjoys to-day at the expense of
to-morrow. The plan before us may be impracti-
cable—perhaps erroneous—but the ultimate necessity
of some such plan no wise man can doubt. We
know that there are those—and it has been said,
perhaps calumniously, that there are some Journals,
interested in a continuance of the present feverish
system, as it affords more play for the mystic exercise
of their ingenuity—more sea-room for raising storms
on the ocean of probability, that they may take better
advantage of the coming confusion created by appre-
hension, and kept up by wars and rumours of wars.
But the great body of the public have an interest dif-
ferent from those lovers of chance—the sea-mews of
the storm ; and, while there is sufficient public virtue,
there is no danger of public credit ;—the soldier who
has magnanimity to bear his wounds without murmur-
ing, will have firmness to undergo amputation, if
requisite, to save his life.

Frankfort Papers of the 10th instant have been re-
ceived this morning. Their contents relate chiefly to
Constantinople and the Greeks, but their dates are
nearly two months old. The Turkish population con-
tinued to be pacified by arrests and banishment—the
usual precursors of their destiny. The SULTAN'S
Ministers were indefatigable in enforcing his various
plans for the anzelioration of all the branches of the
Administration. It seems that canvasses, soldiers
belonging to the Body Guard of the GRAND VIZIER,
have been sent, by the express command of the Sur,
TAN,to the hotel of the English Legation, at Therapia,
to replace the Janissaries that formerly attended the
British Ambassador. It does not, however, appear
whether this change is occasioned by any thing amiss
in the conduct of the Janissaries, and the Ministry
disavow any_ design to disregard what is due to the
Diplomatic body. The British Ambassador is said to
have despatched a courier, for London, with dispatches
of the highest importance. The Ottoman Govern-
ment is endeavouring to devise means for repairing the
ravages caused by the frequent fires. Three thousand
disciplined troops have marched, under the command
of three Colonels, for the Morea.

STRA, NOV. 20.

Four Colonels have arrivetlat Methana among whom is Colonel
Bourbazui, by birth a Greek, who has served with reputation
in the French army. These Colonels want nothing but their
regiment. Including Colonel Voutier there are now twelve Eu-
ropean Colonels in Greece, besides those who pretend to be such.
It is affirmed that Colonel Fabvier will leave Greece, being weary
of a contest in which no honour is to be acquired and no impor-
tant result to be expected.

Th. state of affairs in Portugal is represented, by
many of the private letters which have been received
from Lisbon, as being more favourable than the official
accounts published in the Gazette describe. The force
under the Marquis de CHAVES is stated to he in full
retreat towards Celorico; and dismay is said to prevail
in all the Insurgent Corps, in consequence of the ar-
rival of the British army on Portuguese ground. Such
an effect, it is natural to suppose, would be produced
by the presence of our troops ; and by the circumstance
of Lord BERESFORD being about to assume the com-
mand of the Constitutional army, provided lie is al-
lowed to have some British officers in each regiment.
If this permission should be granted, there is no doubt
that a fine and efficient force would be organized.
'ithout it, nothing will be effected. Some delay,
however, must take place before a force, so con-
stituted, could take the field, and in the mean
time, we apprehend that it will be found necessary
to increase the number of British troops in Por-
tugal. The rebels may he overawed for the mo-
ment, and checked in their advance by the British
troops in Lisbon, but it ought to be remembered, that
they will derive new courage when they find that a Spa-
nish army is forming in their rear for the
probable support
of their cause. We apprehend also, that the insurrection
is too widely extended over the greater part of Portugal,
and that too many regiments of militia have joined the
guerillas formed by the inhabitants of several of the
districts, to justify the expectation that it can -be put
down without some fighting, and if this is to be the
case, the present British force must be augmented, for
the purpose of allowing a sufficient number of troops
to remain for the security of Lisbon, while others are
sent into the Provinces. At Oporto, in particular, it
is stated that the presence of 800 or 1000 British
soldiers would have the happiest effects.
For a detailed history of the events in Portugal, as
connected with the operations of the rebels, we would
refer our readers to an article taken from the Morning
Chronicle of to-day, which will be found under our
head of " Spirit of the Journals ;" and under our
" Foreign Intelligence " will be found extracts of some
private-letters, and an official Bulletin issued from the
War-office on the Ist inst., which would not appear in
the Lisbon Gazette till the following day.

The proposed subdivison of the business of the
Court of Chancery has again become the leading topic
of conversation in the legal circles. The complete
fitness of Sir JOHN CoPLEY, for the discharge of the
arduous and extensive duties which would devolve upon
him in the event of his elevation to the office of Lord
Keeper, has been demonstrated since his appointment
to the -Mastership of the Rolls. The public import-
ance of abridging the duties of the new office within
limits, which would enable the Lord Keeper, with his
acknowledged industry and capacity for business to
avoid getting into arrear, must be quite evident, and

leads one to fear that if the LORD CHANCELLOR
should continue to preside in the House of Lords, and
retain the bankrupt business, which was the arrange-
ment originally proposed, the remaining business of
the Court of Chancery, increased as it has been of late
years, would be found too much even for such a legal
Hercules as Sir JOHN COPLEY. It has therefore been
suggested that a more equal partition of the business
of the Court of Chancery would be secured, if the
LORD CHANCELLOR should also continue to exercise
a jurisdiction over lunatics and idiots. It is well known
that this jurisdiction is entirely independent of the
Great Seal, and that his MAJESTY has power to con-
fer it on any individual he thinks fit, whence it has been
usual, on the appointment of,a new Chancellor, to
confer the jurisdiction by a Special Commission.
We understand that a new arrangement, founded upon
this suggestion, is at present under consideration, and
is likely to be completed without any considerable delay.

We have received Quebec Papers to the 12th December inch"-
sive ; their contents are quite unimportant. The weather had
again become mild, attended with a rapid thaw and heavy rain.

Gibraltar Chronicles of the 23d Dee., and lists of the 24th,
have been received, but their contents are of no importance whatever.

PARIS, JAR. 13.—The following is an extract from Monte
Video, of the 3d of November :—The Genevieve has been con-
demned, on the pretext that when, she sailed, the blockade of
Buenos Ayres was known. Our companions in misfortune, are
the Courier, Jeanne, Jenny, St. Salvador, and Jeune Jules.
The Iris, Lucullus, Phodon, and Antonio, are expected here, and
will no doubt meet the same fate.

SMYRNA, DEC. s.—No further act of piracy has been heard
of. It is reported that His Majesty's ship Zebra, destroyed some
Greek boats which had attempted to cut off some of her convoy.

Reinforcements from the French ports are continually arriving at
Cadiz. The accounts from thence received this day, among other
arrivals, announce, that of a French frigate on. the 21st ult., with
254 troops on board.

THE FUNDS.

CITY, (Tnis DAY), Twelve o' Clock.

This morning a complete panic seized the English market,
and every thing has worn the most gloomy appearance ; this was
probably occasioned by the French Rentes falling 1 per Cent. ; it
is also said that this fall happened after the French Ambassador
had his interview with the King of France and M. Villele.
Consols opened at 79,3,- for account, but fell rapidly to 7SI
and were afterwards done at 78i 9, being the same price with
the dividend for money ; they are now 79i for account and
for February. The Bulls are all frightened, and hastily dosing
their accounts, fearful that the next arrivals from the Continent
may produce materials for a further reduction. An opinion seems
to be gaining ground that, notwithstanding the pacific declarations
of the French Government, there is not that good faith or de-
pendence to be placed on their assurances, so, at least, say the
Bears, who are busily at work in depressing the market. India
Bonds are quoted at 88 40 ; and Exchequer Bills, 22 8 pm.
In the present state of the English Funds the Foreign have
naturally been extremely heavy, and nothing in the shape of busi-
ness effected, prices are consequently quoted lower in almost every
species of Foreign Stock. Portuguese have declined to 73 5 ;
Brazilian, 58 60 ; Mexican, 62 4 ; and Peruvian, 30 2. Shares
remain without life or energy, and nothing doing in them.
