We are grieved to say that the KING has had a re-
tpse, and that his MAJESTY was bled again on Saw-
:day. The great severity of the season has been much
:Against his convalescence ; but when the weather breaks
- and even to-day the temperature of the atmosphere is
.%; Ty sensibly mitigated—our hopes are confident that the
btrength of his constitution will triumph. At the same
time, we do not desire to suppress the fact that we are
not without disquietude on the subject of his Ms Ernes
yeilth: nor can we regard with any feeling, but one of
'tile most unmixed disapprobation, the system of close
jnystery and concealment adopted by the KING'S Mi-
nisters, to keep the Country in ignorance to the last on
• a matter of such deep and general concernment.

There is a very confident report in the City, that
I.►oPOLD is to go to Greece—not as PRINCE PRO•
I ECTOR, but—as KING. It is stated that every thing
6- settled. It is needless, as indeed will be perceived in
the following remarks, to say that we utterly disbelieve
the rumour.

By an Express from Paris this morning, we have
received the Gazette de France, dated Monday the 18th ;
with the Messager des Chambres, Moniteur, and other
French Papers of Sunday. Their contents are, com-
paratively, unimportant, and may be briefly summed up.
In one Journal, it was announced on Sunday that the
King of NAPLES had granted an amnesty on the occasion
of the marriage of his daughter, adding that this amnesty
would be published by the Duke of CALABRIA. Some
doubt, however, seems to exist as to the truth of this—
t':e Neapolitan Papers to the 29th of December, being
alent on the subject. The Journal du Havre.oserta'
z'.:it the KING, in a secret audience, requested M.
.1)E COG RTOISIER to state the motives upon which
he• founds the opposition which he has se perse-
veringly manifested against the measures of the
President of the Council ; and that the Keeper of
tl/2e Seals assigned such reasons, as made a deep im-
presesion on the mind of his MAJESTY. To this, again,
ascribed the rancorous animosity with which the Ga-
zette has attacked afresh both COURVOISIER and
CIIABROL.

We give to-day in.anothercolumn the Proclamation of

CreEibillllll BESTAMENTZ and SANTA ANNA, from the
Espiritu Publico—a Mexican paper—of the 3d of
November last. While it rebuts, in dignified and patriotic
• language, the calumnies with which a few malignant. had
endeavoured to tarnish their high characters, it is other-
, wise interesting, as it exhibitsthese enlightened Chiefs as
• the advocates of a Constitutional Reform. "We

think"—they say—" some general reforms neces-
sary, to facilitate the progress of our country
Cowards its due prosperity." It is superfluous
' to direct the attention of the friends of Mexico to this
important document, from which it is manifest that that
rising Republic is likely to owe as much to the civil
energies of its promulgators, as it owes already to the he-
roism which has linked their names with its Inde-
pendence. •

A Correspondent having yesterday called our attention
'to a paragraph which appeared in the Times:Mid Globe
' relative to Prince LEOPOLD'S having sent an agent
round to collect books relative to the affairs of
. Groo"co, and which the City correspondent of the Morx-
tiry et ones declared to be a puff in favour
of Greek Bends, we owed inquiry to be made, and found
their* wins not s wstil of truth In the aforesaid paragraph.
Arc "a other hand, we ens ceniulently informed, that his
Riffbuses of SAXS COVIAO EPSDIfSSES so little interest
in "the honour said to ha thrust upon him by
.I,!e Noble Dui a, who now guides tbe destinies of Greece

'reaching the elasaic shore. But we cannot reconcile the
recent desultory wanderings of LEOPOLD to
.the idea sq
generally entertained of his elevation. There is a curious.
story among the pditical circles connected with this rmb-
ject. It is said that the Prince owes his nomination to the
strong desire on the part of those who proposed him, to
phase a certain Princess, destined, according to their
Opinion, to hold a distinguished place in *the councils of
country at no very distant period ! As we live in
times when human folly has na bounds, even this story
may not be totally destitute of some foundation.
With respect to the efforts making by Stock-jobbers to
raise the price of Greek Bonds, for this is the
main object of our remarks, we shall cite them
as a new proof of the gullibility which pre-
vails to such an unparalleled extent among a por-
tion of our Countrymen. Were we so disposed, we
could prove that a greater system of fraud and
iniquity scarcely ever existed than that which
marked the origin and progress of, the Greek
loans. We shall at present only ask the individuals
who have contrived to raise the sthck, whether C —A,PO
D'IsTRIAS has issued one solitary decree, or taken a
single step with regard to the English Creditors,
which can for a moment justify any increase in its value ?
We further aik, how long this system of fraud ind
•
iniquity is to lest ?

The address of Mr. Owaw to the Proprietors and Editors
of the Press is deserving of a serious attention :
and though that indefatigable innovator starts with
a premise, calculated particularly to wound the self-
love of persons who fancy themselves for the
most part—as a contemporary has phrased it—
the beat possible instructors of the world, still we
can follow Mr. 0w Ex in all his original and bold
suggestions, without either being out of conceit
with ourselves, or out of temper with him. Against
the sweeping assertion, however, of this philan-
thropic regenerator, that we are all destitute
alike of independence and intelligence, we are much
tempted to enter a conditional caveat—one, at least,
which should emancipate ourselves specially, from the
common opprobrium, in which he has left us to frater-
nise with the crew of our contemporaries. We agree with
Mr. Owen, that circumstances greatly conspire against

our possible independence, both corporate and individual ;
but we cannot coincide with hint, that we are all equally
destitute of intelligence. It is true, the intelligence which
most of us possess, is fettered by prejudice, or counter-
vailed
by colliding interests : nevertheless, there
are some among us, enlightened and public,spirited
enough to prefer the general amelioration to individual
and paltry profit, and we do not hesitate to avow
ourselves to be among the number. Party—faction—
sectarianism—we have ever held at arm's length ; and in
our exertions for the good of the community, our last
consideration is the proportion of it that must result
to ourselves. We recommend—to all minds which ars

not afraid of thinking—s dispassionate exeminetion of
the doctrines.of Mr, OwEn,

CITY, Tw eLv it o'CLocz.

The severity of the weather still prevents any arrivals of conse-
quence this morning, and the Funds remain in much the same
state as they left off yesterday, at 114 to for the Account. This
being settling day in the British market, the speculators are chiefly
occupied in making up their Accounts. At present all Is going off
well. although It is a very heavy Account. Nothing of conse-
quence is doing in the new French Scrip, which may bo quoted at
4 to 14 premiums ; but the arrival of M. N. de Rothschild last night
from Paris, it is supposed, will give an impulse to the new specs-
btion.—l'n the Foreign Market nothing of consequence going for.
ward as yet—prices nominal.

Accounts from Buda of the 25th December, by the French Mail
tills morning, state that the coaches pus on the Danube. and go
from Buda to Pest, owing to the severity of the frost; and the
roads were so bad that no news bad been received from Walachia
and Moldavia for several days ; but the Russians have provided
themselves with abundance of provisions in Sonia. The inhabi-
tants are more unfortunate : there appears to be a kind of war
between the civil authorities and the military, and continual de •
mends for money and contributions are made by the Sultan.

The accounts, via France, from Lisbon, state that they are then
on the point of some important event, and the misery in Portugal
is beyond description. Commerce is entirely annihilated, and
anarchy commences to show itself in various parts. The Governor
of Ithas, with several of his oaken, were near being dilated
by their troops, owing to not having received their. pay.

There has not been any fluctuation in Consols up to the pre-
sent boar. In the early pan of the morning they were at Ogi to

count has terminated, and Consols most now

February Account. at 94 es-dividend, and for money On O. The
market was looking very heavy; but a purchase of.abeett 00,900
