" The Cm-nut-General of Spain in France, Don Pedro
Ortiz de Zugarti, seeing the sudden fall of the Royal loan,
and of the Rentes pet petuelles, on the Stock-Exchange
of Paris, in consequence of the late exposure of those
frauds in:the Chamber of Deputies, and ih the columns of
the Journals, has published as announcement declaring
the statements in question to be falie. This agent of Fer-
dinand knows right well that all further advances are
stopped the moment that a suspicion is excited respecting
the security of advances already made; that the game is at
an end as soon as the loaded dice are discovered ; that the
juggler can only succeed while bit trick remains a secret.

Mr. THWAITES brought up a letter addressed
by Si: Robert Farquhar to the Government, rela-

ordered to be printed.
Mr. ()TWAY CAVE, on presenting a petition
from Leicester, said he took that opportunity of en-
tering his humble protest against, and utterly dis-
claimed all participation in, the proceedings adopted
by the influential persons of what was called the
opposition side of the House, who seemed resolved
that all important business should be postponed
—every inquiry into abuses stifled—all affairs,
foreign and domestic, of whatever importance,
suffered to drop through in a way little creditable

Had Ferdinand obtained the full amount of his contem-
plated fraud, he might have shut his Great Book,' as
lie calls it, and laughed at his dupes, like other more dex-
terous conjurors. The holders of the new bonds would
have been treated like the holders of the old, and an in-
scription on the " Great Book" of the public debt would
have cost him just the value of the parchment on which
it was written. But his object was not yet accomplished.
He had only got 6,000,0001. or 7,000,00 W. sterling, and
he expected 8,000,0001. or 10,000,0001. He had not
paid out of the produce of the juggle the debt due to Eng-
land, or that' due to France, and he is therefore enraged
that the spell is broken before it had operated its full
effect in enabling him to exchange Spanish castles for
French gold."

in the present state of the country. For two years
public attention bad been fixed on the affairs of the
East. It w•as understood that Turkey was to be

pacified—that the theatre of war was to be
circumscribed—but though it was clear that
Russia had not waived her belligerent rights in the
Mediteranean, and that not one of the promises and
predictions held out by Ministers had been fulfilled,
no satisfactory explanation had as yet been given to
the country on these points. Still less had it been
given in our conduct towards Portugal, and our
breach of neutrality in favour of Don Miguel.
Our interference with Btitish troops to keep

In our Paper of to-day will be found some
sensible observations extracted from the Times,
on the subject of Benefits at the King's Theatre.
Our cotemporary, after directing attention in a
proper spirit to the extraordinary public claims
of Mr. BOCHSA ; and commenting with an
equally happy effect on the obligations entailed
on the musical part of the world, by the services
of the Messrs. CHAMBERS' creditors ; comes
lastly to the consideration of Monsieur LAU-
RENT'S right to a benefit. This gentleman,
who has, it seems, been amusing himself
during the season in Paris, has just dis-
covered that a benefit in London would
be no unpleasant addition to his income. He

him on the throne—our breathless haste
to recognise his blockades—above all, our vio-
lation of the law of nations, in the sending from our
shores the loyal Portuguese, whose Queen at that

moment we ourselves acknowledged as legitimatg—
and our afterwards cannonading them at Terceira,
for attempting to land in her dominions—he (Mr.

0. Cave) feared that this was a stain on the honour,
and a prejudice to the interests of this country,
that all the victories of our armies never could wash
away, or the life of the oldest Statesman be able to
atone for. He, of course imputed no blame what-
ever to the officer commanding on that deplorable oc-
casion, who only acted by the orders of his Govern-
ment; but he feared that the effect would be such as
to make Europe suppose that we wished well to
the cruel and usurping government of Don Miguel.
He asserted that the interests as well as the honour
of this country were connected with the independ-
ence and improvement of Continental nations; and
even if our political Institutions should not be ulti-
mately injured by the countenance we afforded to
Continental despotism, our commercial relations at
all events would suffer by it, as every thing would be
done by Absolute Governments to stifle every prin-
ciple of commercial improvement and free trade.—
Looking to our domestic policy it might safely beassert-

has therefore hurried across the water with a view
to impress a sense of his services on the managers
of the King's Theatre. Now, in what do our
readers suppose these services consist ? Simply
in the fact of his having permitted (permitted !)
with singular liberality, " some of the singers of
his theatre in Paris to come to this theatre for a
while !" Assuredly, cool impudence can go no
further than this. If Mr. LAURENT really
thinks himself liberal, let him hasten to prove

ed that ;ince the carrying of the Catholic Question, the
merit for which he would be the last person to

the fact by resigning all claim to an unwarrant-
able remuneration. If he conceives himself en-
dowed with common sense, let him enlighten the
public on that point also, by giving them the
usual credit for justice and penetration. On the
plea that Mr. LAURENT urges, there is not a
grandfather and grandmother of any one of the
actors or actresses now engaged at the Opera, who
has not ten thousand times stronger claims than
himself. Claim a benefit, indeed! because in
his gracious condescension he permitted certain
performers to come and fill their pockets at the
expence of the generous English ! The thing is
as monstrous in its conception as it is super-
human in its impudence.

derogate from, as due to his Majesty's Ministers;
every question had been avoided this Session,
and every thing left undone that might ame-
liorate the condition of the country. He could
not agree with the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
that the present was merely a passing cloud over
the prosperity of the country. Recollecting the
deplorable scenes at Manchester, Rochdale, and
Spitalfields, where military force had been neces-
sary to keep down those deluded but unfortunate
persons, who attempted to obtain by force
a higher rate of wages from their masteis—
and recollecting that this misery and bloodshed
had been in a great degree caused by the
Corn Laws, which had prevented other nations from
producing food for our markets—and seeing the
Session pass away without any united effort made
in that House to alter those cruel and unjust
laws, he could see no ground for self-congratula-
tion in those who wished well to the best
interests of the country ; and he could not therefore
but repeat, that every question of ithiSortance, local
or general, whether relating to Colonial affairs or
Corporate abuses, (he alluded particularly to the Cor-
porate Funds Bill), should have been allowed
to drop through, or stand over till next Ses-
sion, without any plausible excuse for this delay,
in a way greatly tending to increase 'the pre-
sent prevailing opinion, that a sort of tacit under-
standing, arrangement, or coalition existed, be-
tween the leading persons of both sides of the
House—in short, on the part of some oppo-
sition Members, what was vulgarly called a species
of intrigue for office, which was little likely to raise
the character of public men in the opinion of the
independent and disinterested portion of the country.
Colonel SIBTHORE begged to ask the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer if there was any intention
of doing away, in the next Session of Parliament,
with the duty on inhabited houses.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said that it was impossible for a person in his situa-
tion to give an answer to such a question, or to say
what might be done hereafter as to any particular
tax, but it would be unfair to the Hon. Member if
he did not say that at present it was not in con-
templation to reduce any of the taxes on inhabited
houses.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

The French Papers of Sunday contain n
news whatever from the Theatre of War,
contents being chiefly occupied with the repor
of the debates in the .Chambers.

CITY, TIVELVB 0' CLOCK.

A Brazil Mail has arrived by the Lapwing, which
sailed from Rio Janeiro 26th Apiil ; also a Lisbon
Mail, by the Summer, sailed l4th June. The
priVate letters by'the former bring the Exchange
261 27, which is a considerable improvement since
the last accounts.. A private letter received by the '
Lisbon Mail states, that a telegraphic account bad
been received in the above capital of some more
executions at Oporto, but gives no particulars. This
account cannot be correct, as letters were received
yesterday from Oporto of the 14th, which do not
state that any executions had taken place. Both
the Lisbon mid Brazil Papers are void of interest.
This being Midsummer Day it is a close holiday
at the Bank, Stock Exchange, and Foreign markets.
At present the Royal Exchange is thinly attended
by the Brokers and Jobbers, and no business up to
this hour has been done. Consols may be quoted

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

The Moniteur contradicts the report, founded
on the authority of letters from Havre, that the
c, Brazilian Government, yielding to the threats
of England, had engaged to pay to it an indem-
nity of eleven millions of francs for the prizes
taken from the English merchants during the
blockade of Buenos Ayres. This news (adds
the Moniteur) is at least premature. Letters
from Rio de Janeiro, the authenticity of which
cannot be doubted, announce that on the 2d of
April nothing was yet determined respecting the
English claims."
The Moniteur may be right, or it may not.
