The arrival of an Espies: from Paris, with an account
that the French Three per Cents. had fallen on Monday
to 62f. 50c. (which is more than Five per Cent. lower
than they were the Monday preceding), had a sensible
effect on our rnatket, and Consols fell to 827/8 38, at
which price they now remain. The decrease in the
French Funds is attributed to the fall in our own.

In the STAR of last Thursday, when the agitation,
Which hag. since proved so disastroui, commenced in the
City, and when it was confidently.stated on the Stock
Etichan'ge, and 'in Most of the i.ther Journals, that Go-
• .vernment -had •no other reme.iy than to fund a large
iniourit rit Exchequer Bills, we denied the necessity of
to stub a remedy, in the following sentences:
We should think the more obvious rented!, would
" be, first to...issue a new set of Excheque r Bills at higher
44 interest ;•iirklthis we conceive is necessary. to prevent
tilos- now in the mai feet fromialling to a very heavy
"*.cliset;unt."--," And this measure would, no doubt.
" tend to repaii.ultitueeeperaryemil resulting from a
" scarcity of taoneyowhich, it cannot be denied, prevails
" at- present to iii4hitinarg extent." Since Thursday,
Exchequer Bills fill, as we predicted, to a discount of
20, and last night we had the pleasute to see an-
nounced in the Gazette, the intended issue of a new set of
Exchequer Bills, on the 16th of December nest, at a
higher rate of interest, to be substituted for those which
became depreciated.
This prompt attention of Ministers to the digresses
• of the commercial body, is truly worthy of a paternal
dovernMent, and will justly claim the gratitude of the
country. Neither can the measure fail to be instantly
efficacious in annihilating the panic which so unreason-
ably raged in the City, and throughout the Empire.
' The new Bills are to bear interest at the rate of 31•
lOd. per cent. which is an ample profit, considering
that the natural rate of interest resulting h om Consols is
only 37, pe: cent. They will, therefore, speedily be at a
premium, as they will absorb small particles of capital

to a considerable extent, and thus liberate and throw
• • beck into circulation, the money which, daring
tl'e late sensele.S fright, tad been pounced upon I,
ith such unrelenting voracity, by every credi-
tor; who had
.. the power of driving his debtor to
; desperation. The intended payment also at the Exche-
quer, on the 16th Desember.next, of the interest due on
tl-e old 'Bills, together with the principal in all cases,
in whia *money shall bf preferred to new sriuritige, at
1. tiller Intel esi, will be found a most reasonable supply
at the present moment,.while the C,,onwls and the Re-
- ••duced per Cents. ate shut.; and, beyond all doubt, tarp
▪ •
'the' trcle against' the alarmists, whose unthinking fears
• Lave -contributed tcrll.e Uepresion. The evil's; how-
ever, which have occurred within' the very short
. interval of the lait ten days are much to be lamented.
. Plany persons, especially bankers, who had purchased

public securities last year at emirmour prices, and sold
them auting the pan:i ata great depreciation; will now,
in a very short time, be compelled to repurchase them
again at aJvanced prides ; fot the le-action is unquestion-
.
ably at hand: indeed, it will be seen by our Steck
Exchange Report, that the re-actihn had ItheAdy com-
menced, and Consols w.re done this forenoon as high
at 84.'when news of ':be fill of the French funds
occasioned a:depression; which' vsi only consider as
t eMporary.
At a late houi' we received the Etoi:e of yesterday, by
express. It
.contains the further proceedings in the

Com Royale against the Courier Frunpis, which, after
.M. Mammy had addressei the Court some time fou

the defence, were again adjourned for a s eek.
stand the great offence of the Coirier, Fra. Kids consists
in inserting a letter of M. Mou.nriu LEFEVIIE, a most
respectable merchant of Lyons, whii thought fit to pub-
lish his reasons for embracing the Protestant faith. For
this nffence, an entire impression was stoppei at the'
Post-oflice, and the Elitor prosecuted by the Ultras.
We shalt give a copy of this letter in the Sr** of to-
morrow.

The E oile puhli.hes the decree of the Pe- ovian Go.
vernment, against the commerce of Spain, extending

Accounts from Madrid state, that the Kiso quitted
the Escurial for the capital on the 22.1 instant, where
the Duc del INFANTADO bad at r/ived.

Letters from Lisbon of the l'ith instant state, that an
extraordinary Council of State had been convoked to
receive the treaty with Brazil, w hich it v as believed the
KING would be advised to r ray. Comte de C:►sA-
FLORES, Ambassador from Spain to the Court of Li -
bon, had been received with the usual ceremonies.
Comte DE SAINT PRIEST, Ambassador from France

Accounts from Rome of the 16th inst. state, that the
health of the POPE is re estahlished ; adding, that " the
decrees which ernana•e from his wisdom, prove his
constant solicitude for the good of his f .41.10 subjects."
By one cf these decrees, the contribution fondue is to

We have received a file of United States Papers to
the 9.h instant. One of them quotes, from an Antigua
Paper, a letter from La Guayra of the 3d of September,
stating that an expedition was to sail from Carthagena,
against Cuba, on the 15th of that month, consisting of
the Mexican, of 61 guns, twa frigates, three brigs, al d
32 schooners, together with the Colombian Navy and
19,000 men.

A Boston Paper states, that extentive failures had
taken place in that city in consequence of the specula-
tions in cotton.

One letter from a Commercial Gentleman says, the
merchants along Trent and Pearl-streets are cracking
like parched corn. It is stated that the debts of five of
the mercantile houses, which have recently Wed in
New York, were e,timated at 2,500,000 dollars, and
that the available funds would not exceed 75,000 dollars.

General JACKSON having been unanimously. recom-
mended by the. Senate and Uou,e of Representatives of
Tennessee, as the nest President of the Uniteil S:ates,'
he thought it his duty to resign his situzion of Senator
in Congress, lest he should be tempted to [mess the
amendments which he wished made in the Cons•itution,
and by doing so, should seem to recommend measures
calculated to facilitate his future election.

The e Papers contain intelligence frm Lima to the
4 h of August, which state that Callao still held out.—
A cannonading was almost incessantly kept up between
the fortresses and Patriot army, who had advanced a
battery within point blank shot of the C 'sties, say about
half a mile,, and had got a mortar from Guayaquil,
which they had mounted, and had in full operation.—
We have already noticed the visit of the British Officers
to General RODIL, when it appears a great parade was
made of the strength of the fortress. To heighten the
effect of previously concerted arrangements, the maga-
zines were thrown open for inspection, when they pre-
sented the aprearance of being fully adequate to main-
tain the troops for some time, which led the British
Officers to imagine the supply was abundant, and that
all the inhabitants were participating in the enjoyment
of plenty—on the landing of the British Officers they
were saluted by a discharge of 100 guns from the Cas-
tles, and on the return to the frigates a similar number
was fired in honour of the occasion, and as a proof that
there was no deficiency of ammunition.

On the `24th of June, General BouVAR was met by
the Municipal Officers of Cuzco, four leagues from the
city, and the following day made his entry under the
triumphal arches, and amid every demonstration of joy
which an affectionate pelrle could bestow on the de-
liverer of their country.

We hate seen letters from Lisbon, of as late a date as
the 16th instant, They mention the arrival of two Eng.
fish line-of-battle ships, the SPA IiTIATE and ALBION, in
the Tagus cn the 9th; the SPA lITI ATE: from South
America, in a very leaky state, with her main-mast
sprung, and making nearly two het water an hour:
she was met with at sea by the. ALB! )24, which kept
company with her and saw her safe into Lisbon. The
ALBION being from Gibraltar, was put into quarantine,
and still continued so when these advices came aWay.,
Tile SUPERB was to sail in company of the SPA RV ATLI,
for Eiglan,!, on the 2011 i oc this month; and, from the
prevailing winds, may be hourly expected.

SAINT ANDREW.

This day is the anniversary of this Saint. He was the younger
brother of Simon, surnamed Peter, and traversed the vast northern
regions of Scythia, upon the dispersion of the Apostles, surmount-
ing every difficulty. He passed over the countries of Thrace and
Macedonia, and at Patra be was so successful in the execution of
his trust, that Ageas, the Proconsul, condemned him to be first
scourged and then crucified, a sentence which was put into
tiro:don with peculiar cruelty. His body was embalmed and ho-
nourably entombed by a Chistian Lady of quality and fortune, and
some time afterwards his relics were removed to Byzantium, by
Constantine the Great. Saint Andrew, in pictures, is represented
bearing a cross in the form of the letter X. The Scotch have cho-
sen Saint Andrew for their tutelar Saint, and they assert his re-
mains were brought and deposited in Fifesbire in the year .168; a
town and University are named after him.
This is the anniversary of Edmund Ironside being murderer] at
Oxford, 1019; of the birth of Dean Swift, 1667; and of Voltaire,
1624; of Charles the Twelfth being killed at Frederickshall,l7lB ;
:be birth of Prince Charles Edward, called the Young Pretender,
1720; of the marriage of Peter the Great to hi; Prime Minister's
daughter, 1729; the t Keen; ion of John Rann, called Sixteen String
Jack, at Tyburn, 1774; of the duel between Charles James Fox
and Mr. Adam, when the former was slightly wounded, 1779; of a
frost which commenced this day in 1788, which continued till
January, during which the Thames was frozen ; and cf the French
forces evacuating St. Domingo, and surrendering to the British
fleet in 18C`3."
