The letter of our City Correspondent shewa that the great
Constitutional Campaign, thus gloriously opened yesterday,by
that Hereditary Champion of all England, Lord Jou
RUSSELL, is viewed sensitively in the money market,by those
who are not weighing the plan proposed, by its abstract merit,
as to its extension of popular power, but who are weighing the
contingencies which may occur on its not passing into law. The
monied interest view certain results more clearly, than even
those who assume to themselves the character of impartial
deliberation. The confiding quiescence of a stockholder
depends on the security of the Government, which may be con-
sidered the holder of his purse. The national debt has been
thought a grand secret of governing in this country; and
therefore it is, that those Administrations who have
tried the most severe experiments on the vital interests
of the people of England, have contrived, by Saving Banks,
Government Annuities, Friendly Societies, and all the various
branches of legislation, tending to urge investitures in the
public securities, to intertwist,—ifsuchla bold metaphor may
be allowed,—the nerves of so many of the good people of this
country,among the complicated wheel work of national finance.
This we say has been thought by thePt 'yrs and ROBES of former
times, a grand security for the permanence of the extrava-
gant and corrupt system they were supporting; and this
even was strongly boasted of in parliament yesterday, as a kind
of safety valve, to which still the corruptionists—for by no
other terms would we designate the anti-reformers—look

with satisfaction, for the preservation of the fire balloon
in which they wish to float. But cunning often contrives
its present security by its future destruction ; and such will
prove to be the case on this occasion.

As long u the taxes could be filched from the people,
to discharge the interest of the debt, without the amount

being noticed, so far, was there safety in their plan. But
when the amount to be obtained sets at defiance all mantra-
vre—and when it becomes not the surplus penny, but the
half of his crust that the labourer has to relinquish—it is found
that he is not likely to part with it, without having
some questions to ask, and some authority to exercise, as to
its disposal. This, therefore, forces the monied interest to
see, that their only security now consists in satisfying the
wanes, who, sooner or later, govern all states, by admitting
them to the reasonable privilege they have been forced w
perceive, is essential to their interests.
If we reason correctly, therefore, the Stockholder, and all
who have been artificially made interested in the public
finances, must now see his real safety in supporting that re-
form, which will reader taxation rationally receivable from
the pockets of the payers ; and enforce, at the same time,
that economy which may insure their pockets to be ade-
quately supplied.
The sagacious man thus interested in the State Finance—
the Stockholder, mediate or intermediate—will, according
to our view, ponder with solicitude, on the probable fate of
this brave attempt of a virtuous Administration ; and
if such a misfortune should occur as its failure, they will, if
we have any knowledge of human prudence, run to the mar-
ket, and endeavour to get realized that species of property,
which, from that moment, will be precarious of existence,
if not certainly evanescent.

By the Dutch and Hamburgh mails this morning, we have
the Prussian State Gazette of the 22d Feb. which contains
a variety of exparte statements and letters, giving vague
accounts of the advance of the Russians, and the movements
of the Poles. There is no possibility of forming any true
estimate of the Russian forces, that are said to have entered
Poland in various quarters. We have endeavoured to trace'
out their positions, and places of alleged entry, on the map;
and find the statements very discrepant and unintelligible.
These accounts represent the majority of the invading forces
as Cossacks. Among many passages in these papers, evi-
dently written to dishearten the patriots, by representing
the apathy of the citizens of Warsaw, we find one at variance
with such representations—it is, that they have unpaved the
City, preparatory to barricading it. We subjoin a few ex-
tracts which are of a more cheering description :
BERLIN, Feb. 17.—The expulsion of the Russians from
Sieldce, which is reported by the Warsaw journals, is said
to have been effected under the direction of General Citi.o-
PICK I, who is at the head of the staff. According to the
accounts received, several days ago, from the Russian head
quarters, the army is collecting about Lamega and Nur.—
The inhabitants of those parts made no resistance. The
Russian General-in-Chief thought, at that time, that there
would be no Important battle in leas than 10 or 12 days.
HAMB u no, Feb. 22.—A letter from Warsaw by the last
mail, says—" News is this moment received, that General
Skrzinecki has surprised a Russian camp, and taken eight
cannon, two standards, a quantity of arms, ammunition, and
baggage."
TimTIII HAGUE, Feb. 22.—Last night couriers arrived from
London, Paris, Maestricht, and also from the army.
BREDA, Feb. 23.—We have received news, that the
King intends next week to visit the army, and the fortresses,
beginning with Nimeguen.
Path Papers of Monday are this day received by express;
but their contents are anticipated, so far as regards the
Russian and Polish hostilities, by the preceding extracts.—
In addition to what we had previously stated with respect to
Italy, we find that Austria is serious in commencing
hostilities.

Private letters from Antwerp confirm the report, that the
King of ROLLA); D had determined again to blockade the
Scheldt. The National Paris paper affirms, that Lord
Poxsow ay had instructions to leave Brussels, on the ap-
pointment of SUBLET de CHOLTER as Regent.
This day, the KING held a Levee at St. James's Palace;
after which there was a Privy Council, when the Re-
corder's Report of the criminals now under sentence of
death in Newgate was laid before bis MAJESTY.

CITY. ONE O'CLOCK.

The new measures of Reform proposed by Ministers in
the House last night,have caused very great excitement in the
City this morning; and have had a material effect on the
Funds.

The Stock Exchange was fully attended, when a great
deal of bustle and confusion took place. Consols, which
had improved yesterday to 76f, 77 for the Account, opened
at 76i, which price lasted but a short time, and they soon
receded to 75;, a fall of one per cent. ; by which it is
evident that it is apprehended, that the measure will not
pass the House of Lords.
CITY,• TWO O'CLOCK.
Consols have somewhat improved at present, and are
done at 76; to f.
Charlestown papers are received at the North and South
American Coffee-house to the 27th January, but they are
void of interest.

By the Dutcb mail papers have been received to Satur-
day. The Dutch Funds have fallen 2 per cent. owing to
the news from Italy, and the report there of a war.
Gen. Chasse has notified that all defensive preparations
at Antwerp, on the part of the Belgians have ceased, by
orders from Brussels.

CITY, THRICE O'CLOCK.
Consols which were in the early part of the morning at
75j for the account, are at present 76}. The report of the
French rentes having come considerably lower is not true ;
the 3 per cent. rents are 55-85, the 5 per cents. 90.
Great anxiety prevails for this evening's debates, by which
the strength of the opposition will be ascertained.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing.
