CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The nuctuition of the Consol Market has been'about a per Cent.
during t►e ns'orning—front 754 to Out for the Account. The Bears
art still,baaihemaiing reports—such as the fall of Oporto, by Ex-

presi; the death of the Duke of Yoe' ; but up to the present
tine we have no twin! front Porttigal direct, which is now very
anziottiO looked for. No business of consevence, either in the
British or Foreign Marked, has taken place; the Jobbers have been
the greatest speculators this morning.

It is asserted that a blaolfmto is in Town, issued by the Royalists
of Spain, declaring. that if Fammismn departs from his present aye-
teM, be will he dethroned, and the brsar:Ana is to succeed 'him.—
Canals may be quoted up to the present time at SO buyers.—The
.eomthercial letters received at Frankfort state, that peace has taken
;place hetWeen the Russians and Persians, through the jute/defence
of the English Ambassador.
The Foreig Market Is very slack, and nothing doing.

We bave received this morning, by Express; the Paris
Papers of Tuesday, with the Etoile of Wednesday. Their
contents are wholly at variknce with the report that both
Coimbra and Oporto had fallen into the hands of the re-
bels. The Etoile :hews, by the stubborn facts of dates,
that the statement which appeared to thiseffect inthe4
Qiiatidienne, the organ of the morelanatical and untrac•
table portion of the Ultras, could not be true; and theke-
. fore the charge of deliberate. fraud, or of the grossest
credulity, must attach to the latter. We. 'wish the.
Efate could establish the truth of one of iu own
isiestiolls, as Muth to our satisfaction,.. ,it hai
aided is demolishing that of one of its contempi.

I believed in the Spanish caul on the 18th 'Ovum
tat King Faitiiwanas hid leveed to. accitde to el the,
'elernalds that were add:tossed ~,to bins by 'France an 1
•Englind. ' Wet strongly suspect that this 'statement hail
been got up to answer a temporary purpose; and out
suspicion is strengthened by the fact, that nothing of a
corresponding, nature is alleged in an article of the
same date, which appeared three days before in the Mo-
nitors.. As the Debate upon the Address was expected
to take place immediately in the Chamber of Deputies,
it is possible that the Etoik had recourse to a kind of
pious fraud, in order to enable its employers to pass
through this ordeal with as little injury as pcissible.
The observations, addressed to the first, Bureau of the
Chamber, by M. HYDE DI Minima.; and which will
be-found amongst our extracts, are no doubt a good
specimen of the temper in which a debate will be carried
on, by which the fate of the present Ministryand the
question of peace or war, may be at once decided.—
The sting of these observations is directed, however,
more against Mr. Secretary CANNING than against M.
DI Vittata and his colleagues; and we really tremble
for the reputation of the former, seeing that he has pro-
yoked the resentment of so formidable an antagonist,
the oracle of all.the old men and 'a omen of his party.
Irony apart, which is really, wasted upon this frothy
dcelaimp., we cannot help suspecting that the intelli-
getice of the conceding disposition of the Spanish Court
is „merely a manceovre to carry the Address in the
Chamber of,Deputies with as little opposition as possible.
In the mesntinie, the Royalist opposition must rely
solely upoi its own resources in the war of extermination,
which it has deciaied igainst the French Ministry. Aus-
tria has disclaimed alliallowship with them,aswill be seen
by the extract in the French papers from the Austrian
Observer. By that extract, all their hopes in the infant
Don' Minuet. are overturned:. and the pointed and
ostentatious manner, in which this service is performed,
chews theprofound contempt in which they are held by
the Court of Vienna. We !apprehend they are hid,
hbth themselves and their projects, in as much deri-
sion by 'every other Cabinet, that of Madrid excepted;
and we should Apt be surprised if a declaration, signed
,by all the continental Gt. a powers, denouncing the
arrogance, immorality, and revulutiopary tendency of
their manoeuvres, with respect to Portugal, were to
appear shortly.
• In the meantime, it will be seen from the subjoined
extract from a Dutch Paper, which has reached us this
morning to the 23J inst. that the Spanish Monarch is
not so alarmed at the remonstrances of the-French, and
the demonstrations of the British Cabinet, as has been
so confidently asserted of late. Instead of deprecating
the just resentment of ourCabinet,s'e discover him in the
very act of intriguing with that of St. Petersburgh, as it
would be difficult to give any other name to his applica-
tion for the intercession of that Power. If it was his inten-
tion to make reparation to Portugal, it is plain that he
could do it with more grace and promptitude without
the intervention of a third patty. Therefore his present
object can only be to gain time for the purpose of eva-
'aim, and not a wish to obtain a mediator between him
and the Power he has so wantonly and unjustly offended.
Howe'ver, he will gain nothing by this mission, as the
Russian Court,is too wise and too honourable to entangle
itself in the endless and dirty labyrinth of Spanish
politics; whilst it will shew the Statesmen of England'and
France how little reliance is to be placed upon the as
iutances of this perverse Monarch. Übe hopes, how.
ever, by his intrigues in foreign Courts, to evade the
just demands of this country, it will be seen on the
other hand •that the British Government has the start
of him in the Cabinet as well as in the field, and has
already entered into the most active correspondence
the Governments of Prussia and the Netherlands.
The following is the extract alluded to above :

BRUSSELS, Dreams 39.
A Cabinet Messenger, coming from Madrid, Passed &qui& this
city on Saturday, on his way to St. Petersburgh, with orders to use
all possible expedition. This -Messenger Is reported to be the
bearer of an autograph letter from King Ferdinand to the Emperor
Nichoias. It Iselin:Red that the King requests the Emperor's good
offices in the impleasan; circumstances in which he is placed.
It is said that wag Government and the English Legation yes-
ierday received dispatches from Berlin by an extraordlnari Courier,
to which an answer wia immediately returned.

We have also received this morning the .Allgemeine
ieitang tb the 21st inst. In an article, under thetead
si Odessa, it is stated,, that the Marquis de RzscAO•
nittits will immediately repair to his post at Con-

staintinople, to join Mr. STRATFORD CANNING his
negotiation respecting the Greeks, but that his in-
:unctions are to conduct those negotiations ga with the
moderation of which-his 'Russian Majesty has given so
many proofs since his accession." In this way Russia
hopes to conciliate both Austria and, England,—the
former by the temper she recommends to her Am-
bassador, and the latter by her offer of co-operation,
and in this way the Greeks are likely to obtain 'only a
qualified t'ecognition of their independence. It is as-
serted in the same article, that' for three weeks no news
had been xeceived from the frontiers of Persia.

There is. no other intelligence worth noticing.

The, account from Madrid state, that all the con-
♦ents on the frontiers .have of late bad a military
appearance ; and it is now knoarn that the new recruits
Mr the Portuguese insurgents,wes.e paid and trained by
the'Clergy, who have subscribed eight Millions of teals
towards the Portuguese expedition.
