business of any consequence has taken place in the market
this morning, all arc anxious to ascertain the result of the meet-
,g at the Bank. Various o?inions are formed in regard to the
c :use ; by some it is %apposed that the new Government plan of
the Naval and Militray Pensions will come into discussion ; by
others it is imagined, that it will regard the Specie system. The
appointed hour of meeting is twelve o'clock. Consols are up to
this hour 7Si for the Accountoand for Money 73e. Persons who
pretend to be in the Cabinet secrets attribute the cause of the
Funds rising yesterday to the messenger which was dispatched
to St. Petershergh on Tuesday evening. Report says, our
Cabinet is decidedly in favour of the propositions which Russia
has made to the Turks, which, when known by the Ottoman
Forte, will have great weight in their Councils, and ultimately

cause them to make peace.
FOREIGN FENT/S.—The business in the foreign securities this
morning is not of material consequence. By private accounts
it appears that Spain is perfectly tranquil.—Spanish Old 631 1 ;

The object of the Meeting at the Bank has just transpired.
The only subject. brought forward was, that Government has
proposed to allow all Banks, not Within sixty-five miles of
Loudon, to be upon the same footing and principle as the
Scotch Batiki; and for this concession the Bank is to receive an
extension of its Charter for ten years. This proposition has been
acceded to by a very crowded Court of Proprietors. Not a
word was mentioned about the reduction of the rate of Interest.
