" In the last dispatch, from the Commandant of ,Purto Rico, he
demands of the Government five thousand men,•which has been
refused for two reasons, a want of men, and funds to fit out a new
expedition. 'The appearance of new bands in the..province of Va•
lencia has canoed General Longo to leave and return to
his post. Government have received dispatches from the Captain
General of Catalonia of the re-appearanceof strong bands in Lower
Catalonia, aid on the borders of A rragon. Orders have been sent
to Count d'Espagne to detain the Regiment of Guards at Barcelona.
From Seville we learn that the first French division which left,
has arrived at Panalleros. Several regiments of the line, destined
for Cadiz, are now employed for the cordon sanitaire of Gibraltar.°

little business is doing as yet. Consols, which, left off, yesterday at
86# j fur Account, opened at the same price, and remain at the
same quotation at present. One defaulter has been declared this
morning—the son of an old and respectable broker, who has re-
tired trom the House; his differences are not of great extent.

A report prevails of the fall of Varna, but nothing a yet positive

CITY. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

Since Twelve o'Clock the Consol Market has become very
heavy, owing to a sale of 250,000 Money Stock, the property of a
persondeceaved, left to Charities.

the Account, receded••to 851 Sellers. At first it was thought
-that the above sale was in consequence of some intelligence from
the Continent; but soon after it was known to the contrary,
re-action took place, and Consols may at present be quoted 86,
alternately buyers and sellers for the Account, and 851 tor Money.
The report of Varna having surrendered dues not gain credit,
although the event is expected to take place.
A letter from Lisboa ♦tates that there was a current report there
that the Cortei would be again assembled, to ashrise on the means
to put the country in a state of defense, tearing that the foreign
Powers would refuse to recognise Dun Minus:. as King : it adds,
that the least demonstration on the part ut England Would be sot
ficient to dethrone hint, without even shedding a drop of blond iu
