Markets Consols opened at 791 for the Account, 79; for Money,
and for May Account *of to 'We have no confirnutkm up
to this hour of hostilities having commenced between the Ens.
Mans and Turks, but a report Prevails that the French Funds
have again fallen. Private Letters are in Town from Genoa,
stating that an Ambassador had arrived from Lisbon, to the
King of SARDINIA, who has refused him an audience, and would
not accept of their new Constitution, in consequence of which,
the Portuguese Ambassador departed immediately, and hostili-
ties are expected to commence between the two Governments.
The above circumstance may account for the reinforcement of
the Austrian army, as well as the French sending a large force
to their frontiers.

The latest arrivals from the Continent give little
hope that the peace of Europe will long be preserved.
The interferences of the Ambassadors of England and
Austria have not reconciled the differences between
Russia and Turkey ; notwithstanding the confidence
with which it has been stated that the disputes be-
tween these two Powers had been adjusted. While
Russia has never modified her first demand, Turkey
has protracted the negociations until some favourable
circumstances have made her assume a higher tone.
It had been stated in a private letter from Constan-
tinople, dated the 25th February, that, after much
difficulty, the terms of the Russian ultimatum had
been accepted. Nn sooner, however, was such a re-
port spread in the Turkish capital than the Public
became enraged, and the Divan, catching the alarm,
determined not to accept the ultimatum. This deli-
beration is said to have taken place on the 28th of,
February.
Such are the accounts direct from Constantinople;
and they are generally confirmed by letters received
in Paris from that city, which state, that on the 25th
of February the Porte held a Great Council, which
was attended by the Commander of the Janizaries,
and several Chiefs of the city. The next day some
disturbances broke out, which were suppressed by
the rigid orders of the Government ; and the Reis
Effendi then communicated a Note to the Ambassa-
dors of the Allied Courts, which was by no means
satisfactory, and which did not justify the hopes that'
had been entertained of pacific negociatiun. From
Russia, where the Press is under the immediate ma-
nagement of the Government, we hear of nothing but
war, and of the eager longing which the Russians
have for the commencement of hostilities.

Russia and Turkey, however, are not the only
Powers likely to be disturbed ; since, if we may judge
from the best information, France is not likely to re-
main long tranquil ; an imbecile but arrogant Go-
vernment, a Legislature split into the most violent
and opposite factions, and a discontented population,
are a few of the characteristics of France at the pre-
sent moment. General BERTIION, it will be seen
from our extracts from the French Papers, so far
from being cooped up in a forest, had shewn himself
at a fair, beating up for recruits, attended only by
seven men. What a picture does this exhibit of the
feelings of the French towards the present Govern-
ment, when a proclaimed traitor is thus not Only suf-
fered to remain at large, but actually to openly excite
rebellion against it.

The Agricultural Report seems peculiarly unfor-
tunate in that it does not give satisfaction to any
party. It holds out delusive hopes to the farmers,
which they well know cannot be realized ; and impo.
tent threats saf high prices and dear bread to the Pub-
lic, mho feel relieved of all anxiety on the subject
from the folly of the plan by which it is proposed to
effect it. Last night the Report was attacked in the
House of Commons, not only by those who are ene-
mies to commercial restrictions, but even by the Colin-
uy Gentlemen, who are equally dissatisfied with it.

This forenoon we received a Spanish Mail, bringing
Madrid Papers to the 22d ult. Some slight attempts
at disturbance had been made in the Spanish capital
on the levying of the conscription, but they were
easily suppressed. The following are extracts;
