Consols are rather imprered;and may be quoted at 841 1. It is
now ascertained that there is no news from Constantinople; but
the French funds have fallen 1 j per cent. in consequence of the
Elections, and it Is thought the French Ministry will be obliged
to go out.
CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.
At an early hour this morning, it was ascertained that several
Expresses had arrived from Paris, in consequeote of which, there
.was a full house at the opehing of the market, and all parties being
shy to make a price. Consols, which left oK yesterday at 854 4,
at length opened at n5l j for the Account; but on its being ascer-
tained that the French Reotes came considerably lower—reported
sof. 20c. after 'Change hours—a panic took place, and Consols re-
ceded to 844.,allpersoos imagibing that bad news had been re- I
ceived from Constantinople, which was not the case, the French
funds lowered in consequence of the Elections being unfavourable
to the French Ministers.
A private letter from Paris says, that in some of the Depart-
ments, out of 100 votes 60 are in the opposition ; but still the Mi-
nister thinks he will have a majority. Paris was illuminated on
Monday-evening, in consequence of the Liberals gaining an men•
dancy.—No news from Constantinople.

Ad Express from Paris arrived this morning. The pri-
♦ate letters which have been received quote the French
rentes at 69f. 80c. This fall in the Funds is ascribed
to the decided majority that has appeared in favour of
the liberal party in the present election of Deputies.—.

entered with his ship in
the English Admiral, whether it would be advisable to
continue his voyage to Odessa, to which place he was
bound from Trieste. When he got on board the English
Admiral's ship) be there found theCapitanaßey,andTahir
Pacha, who, hostilities being just terminated, were con-
ferring with the Englisir Admiral; ten or twelve of the
'Turkish men of war were still turning in the harbour.
An Officer of the Admiral's ship, who advised him
not to go for the present to Odessa, but rather to return
to Trieste, told him, that in the battle 'of the day
before, 50 men were killed on board the Admiral's ship;
and he, Captain Newton, saw that that ship had suffered
severely. The French Admiral's ship had also been
mach injured. The Russian squadron had suffered the
least-25 or 30 of the Turkish ships were blown up.
With respect to the origin of the hostilities, the English
Officer, in a few words, gave him the following account :
After that Ibrahim Pacha, notwithstanding the con-
vention concluded on the 25th of last month, had left
the harbour of Navarin at the beginning of this month,
with the greater part of his Beet to proceed to Pares,
the Admirals of the combined squadrons, after the re-
turn of the Turkish fleet to Navarin, had resolved
to enter that harbour, in order, as he had heard,
to be there able, secure from the stormy weather
in the open sea, to observe the Ottoman fleet in the
harbour itself, or to oblige it to return to Alex-
andria and Constantinople. The Turks opposed this,
and fired on the ships as they entered, and thul
ainated the battle, the results of which he now saw. As
.•
the weather began to grow boisterous while he (Capt.
Newton) was on board the Admiral's ship, he returned
ea board his own vessel, and immediately sailed to
grante ; and having stopped there two days, during
which time he heard nothing farther, he continued hist
voyage to this city (Trieste)."—Algemeeias Zeitung,l
