good deal of business was done in the early part
ti this morning ; and the market appeared rather
Consols opened at 71 f, but, from the large
purchases made, and an apparent scarcity of Stock,
oep went to 711. Bank Stork is 238 to 239, about
!i better than it left off yesterday. The prevailing
opinion is, that the next Dividend will not pay 10
per Cent. consequently a further depression is ex-
pected. The Commissioners, at twelve o'clock, were
Served in Reduced at 71, by the Jobbers generally ;
immediately after which the market looked heavy,

Me Paris Papers of Monday arrived this forenoon.
The only interesting part of their contents relates to
retain prosecutions which have been instituted
against the press, for an alleged libel on the Swiss
mops in the service of France. Count tie COURTEN,
COlOnel of one of the Swiss Regiments, had presented
%complaint on the subject to the Keeper of the Seals.
Ilis Excellency, in a letter which has been published
in all the Journals, answered, that the Courts of Jus-
tice were open to the parties aggrieved, and that they
'might apply there for the reparation of any injury
Ishich they conceived themselves to have sustained
The publicity given to this letter appears to have
excited the busy spirit of some Members of the Cour
Iloyale belonging to the Chamber of. Correctional
Police : and on Friday, the 23d April, that Chamber
Ong met, they resolved unanimously, on the mo-
tion of the President, M. DUPATY, to invite the
Pint Presidetit of the Court to convoke a General
Assembly of the Chambers, in terms of a certain law
tithe 20th April, 1810, which authorises any of the
letnbers to denounce to such General Assembly any
T:.rne or misdemeanour which may have come uncitr
/is purview. A General Assembly was accordingly
-ccn7oked on the 26th of April, when President
DVPATI denounced the Editors, Authors, and distri-
Vnors of three periodical works—the Liberal, the
3w;if,tiiegue Histnrique, and Novelle Homme Gris,
as guilty of a calumnious attack on the Swiss Regi-.
rams in the French service, and be therefore moved
that the Attorney-General should be enjoined to in-
Eitute prosecilions against them. President Acme
