• &Intl ITONDAII,..-Close HOLSIMIN
STOCK RXCIIANGP., TWELVE O'CLOCK.
This being a close holiday, the Bank, Stock Etchange, and Fos
rs-ign markets are closed ; but most of the brokers and jobbers are
assembled on the Royal Exchange, and up to the present time
little business is doing, except in Colombian Bonds, which have
fallen neatly two per Cent. in consequence of the re.ignatlon of
Doeivaa, which at first was thought to have been a forgery ; since
which, it is ascertainedthat letters hare been received, through the
Foreign Office this morning, horn Laguira, confirming 'his reds-
mition. Consols may he quoted at BSI 1, and Colombian floods
38}, Mexicans 701 71.
Accounts front Barcelona to the stis init. state, that DALLIS'S.=
and &sestets, Royalist Chiefs, are at the head of bands, each two
hundred strong, recruiting in the environs of Gerona, who are
supposed to be instruments of a more powerful faction.
Information front Perpignan mention, that an attempt has been
made to surprise Figueres, occupied by the French troops, which
did not succeed. A great fermentation also prevails in Cerdagne,
and reinforcements of troops have been demanded at Thoulouse
and retpignan. The Edo di Midi speaks of a conspiracy having
been discovered at Valpariso, near Cuenca. The conspirators are
to the number of 800 turn.

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

We remain in the same state as in the eatlier part of the morn-
ing, with scarcely any business doing. Consols remain at 82
Colombian 581, Mexican 701 71 ; all other prices are nominal, as
on Saturday. We have various opinions on BOUT/Ai resignation,
and doubts of its truth.
Accounts from Lisboa state, that SOO of the rebels have pre-
sented themselves to General Max°. The division of VILLA Mos
hcs cemtnenced its movements, and forms a line from Chaves to
Villa licit.

Nothing positive is yet known with respect to the
personnel of Mr. CANNING'S Administration, not but
that several lists are already in circulation. How-
ever, this uncertainty may not I.st the day through;
but, if it were to continue a week longer, we should
not feel much anaiety in consequence, knowing to
what grod hands the task is confided. In every ar-
rangement of this nature, the head is the principal
consideration; and if this possess the necessary requi-
sites for superintending and directing the whole, we
may calculate, with almost unerring certainty, upon
the efficiency of the subordinate parts. After the se-,
lection of the master-mind, the next chief conside.
ration is the harmony of the system; and, to obtain
this result, it is by no means necessary to have what is
called a galaxy of talents. On the contrary, such an
attempt, should it be made, would prove a miserable
abortion, and the country would have again to lament
the disgraceful and pernicious anomaly of a divided
and caballing Cabinet. The only appointment, posi-
tively known, is that of the Duke of CL/macs to the
Admiralty, under the revived title of Lird High Ad-
miral of England, with a Council to assist his Royal
Highness. This nomination, however, speaks volumes,
sod will be hailed with unmixed satisfaction, as a test
of the degree of consistency which the Ministry is likely
to have. Every one must see in it at once an indisputable
proof of the KING'S entire confidence, and consequently
one of the best possible guarantees of its solidity.—
Moreover, it is a clear indication, that 6' the Wooden
Walls of Old England" will be again practically looked
upon as the best, as they are the most natural, bulwark
of this sea-girt Empire. With this return to the old
and, we may say, Constitutional means of national
defence, a return to the whole of our ancient
policy may be expected ; and, therefore, the present
scheme is not so much a new, untried, and hazardous
experiment in politics, as the revival of the old system,
under which the country had so long flourished, and
which was attended with practical advantages, such as
no other country enjoyed. This is the point of view in
which we look at the subject ; and it is this, which
places the conduct of the Rua°, to whom the chief
merit belongs, in so fair a light ; and every lip quivers
with a prayer, and every eye glistens with a tear, as
oft n as the part, which his MAJESTY has had in the
proceeding, is mentioned. His reign also is now likely
to fulfil all those sanguine expectations, which had
been once formed of it ; and, instead of seeing the sum
of national happiness diminish from year to year, And
the coml. rts, as well as the morals, of the people,
regularly fall off, under the most ah'e and enlightened
of all onr S .vereigns; we may expect the cause and
effect to agree, and the reign of a liberal minded
Monarch to btcnme an era of national content-
ment and happiness. Nothing has ever so much
surprised those, who have had the best opportunity of
appreciating the character and knowing the sentiments
of his MAJESTY, as to witness how little lips been done
for real and permanent benefit of the public, since his
accession to the Throne. This painful riddle, however,l
is solved at last ; and a &mums, who might have
reasonably asp'red to rule over a thriving people, and
to see concord and progressive Improvement the lot of
every part of his vast dominions, has been obliged vi
forego this hope, merely bl.cause his Ministers, by their
disunion, realised all the evils of the fable of a divided
I. It is our firm conviction that his future govern-
meht will be attended with very ifffetei.t eff cts ; and
that the country, now that the cause, which has alone
impeded her prosperity, is removed, will rapidly rise to
her proper level, and enjoy the full benefits 1:f her
superior iptelligeme and unrivalled institutions.
In addition to the resignations we mention' d in our
last, we have now to attrition that of the D. ke of
Mozvitosa, as Lord Chamberlain, and that of his son
(tl'e Marquis of GRAHAM), as Vice-Chamberlain. The
1)1,.ke of Doman. has also sent in his resignation as
saner cf the Hoe.; and the Duke of WELLING ro:v

has thrown up the command of the Army, as well all
his situation of Master G. neral of the Ordnance. It is
unnecessary, after having mentioned the appointment
of the Duke of CLARENCE, to say that Lord Mar.via.za
retires from the Admiralty; but it may be proper to
add, that the secession of the Noble Lord, as it was not
grounded upon public principle, is stated to have given,
particular offence in the highest quarter. Many resigna-
tions, in addition to those we mentioned in our last, have
also occurred in the subordinate departments of the
Government. Mr. Gotrcauntr has quitted the Secre-
taryship of Ireland; and it is ale() certain that I.,rd
MANNERS has either retired, or is on the point of re-
tiring. from the situation he has so bog held of Irish
Chancellor. Some Lords of his fklajesty's Bedchamber
have also sent in their resignation, and, amongst the
rest, the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. Also, in t.ke
highest legal departments several changes have taken
place; for example, the ATTORNEY GENERAL has fol-
lowed the example of his patron, the LORD CHANCEL-
Lost. A more sweeping, as well as a more unez-
pec:ed change could not well have taken place; Out we are
unwilling to judge of their conduct, because we are not
sufficiently acquainted with their motives; whilst we
feel bound to say, that the Government will gain in
efficiency as well as respectability ; whilst it has only
confirmed the Kum in the resolution he has taken.

We received this morning Dutch and Brussels Papers,
both to the 14th instant, as well as Frankfort to the
9th. We learn from the Brussels Papers that the De.
base on the Project of Law for the organization of
the Courts of Justice terminated on the 10th in the Se-
cond Chamber of the States General, when it was a car-
ried by a majority of 59 to 42.
A letter in the same Papers from Corfu, dated the
13th ult. says, that the principal inhabitants of that
island had celebrated the return of Sir F. ADAM and his
Lady to the lonian Islands by a tournament. All the
horsemen were dressed in the costume of ancient knights,
and their horses caparisoned in a suitable manner.
According to the customs of chivalry, each Knight wore
the colours of a Lady, and the victor wore the colours
of Lady ADAM. A great number of persons from all
the Islands were present at this entertainment, in which
every thing, it is said, was perfectly well managed.
