STOCK EXCHANGE.

The first bargains in Consols, this morning, were
done from 691/4 to 70; but it was soon discovered
that an express had reached town, from Paris, an-
nouncing a farther fall in French Stock to 76, when
the bustle and anxiety of yesterday was renewed, and
Consols dropped to 691/4 ; but no confirmation arriving
of the retorted battle, caused a revival in the droop-
ing mat ket, and Consols ascended once more to 70.
When our Reporter left the Exchange, at one o'clock,
Consuls bad declined to 69% Ya, and were looking
heavy. A vast quantity of business has been done,
and anxiety is depicted on every countenance. The
Capitalists, as well as the Public, appear to be getting
out of Stock.

We are informed that no less than twenty'espresses
were dispatched from this country and arrived on
Saturday or Monday-at Paris, with orders to sell
French Stock at the best prices which could be ob-
tained. This fact will account for the extraordinary
depression of the French Funds.
