they were done at 781, and may be quoted at the present time at
79; 4 fin the Account, and 791 to a for Money ; the continuation
being 1 per Cent. Little or no business doing : the inactive state
of the Market may be attributed to the struggle baying ceased for
the present between the Bulls and Bears. The Hebrew party are
for the the, and no doubt will remain Balls until after the Knices
Speech, at the closing of the present Parliament, as they are aware
it will tend to improve the Consol Market. The Bears, who fore-
see the operations of the Hebrews, remain on the defensive at pre-
sent. In the Foreign Market Russian Stuck continues to rise.

to require the attendance of the Commons.

al His MAJESTY further commands us to repeat to
you, that his MAJESTY'S earnest endeavours have con
