The Stocks have risen One per Cent. since Tues-
day last. This morning Consols opened at 78t, fell
to 78, then gradually rose to 783. This advance is
principally attributed to tbegreat quantity of French
stock that has been disposed of since it has been offi-1
tinny announced that the Army of Occupation',
is to quit the French territory. The principal part
of the Stock has been invested in the British Funds,
consequently there is a *teat indult of money. Most
of the purchases have been made by Brokers con-
elected with respectable Foreign Houses; and, as the
scarcity of Stock continues, a further rise is antici-
pated by the monied interest.-.-The Commissioners
gave 771 for Reduced, and were generally served by
the Jobbers.

The Paris Papers of Monday arrived this morn-
ins, and along with them the numbers of the Gazette
. de Franre and Journal de Paris, which were wanting
yesterday.
The proceedings of the Emperor.of ItusstA and
King of PRUSSIA, since their arrival at the head-
quarters of the Army of Occupation, are fully detailed
it: *the following interesting letters from Valenciennes :
" VALENCIENNES, OCTOBER 22.
" The King of Paussin arrived here last night at
five o'clock, and the Emperor of Rossm at half-past
six. The Duke of WELLtstcrott . had prepared a
sumptuous repast for their MAJZSTIES,.at the Chinese
Pavilion, .on the Place Vane; but the august travel-
lers' were too fatigued to partake of it. IZeither were
theirliVlAsswrus present at the Theatre in the evening.
Oti'the arrival of the Sovereigns, the cannon on
.1- the illimparta were fired, and in the evening the city
was illuminated.

K It appears that immediately after the departure

.of the Sovereigns, the posts will be delivered up to
a •
the National Guard of Valenciennes. It has never
'`:• yet beep in service, and cannot commence tinder cir-
. cunistances more solemn and imposing.
" Their Majesties will depart on the 24th for
Maubeuge.
" At ten o'clock this morning the Emperor of
Russia and King og.PausslA, each mounted in a
calash, repaired to the Cusp of Pulsars, accompa-
nied by the Duke of WELLINGTON and-a great num-
ber of Generals and Superior Officers, and reviewed
the Russian, Englids, and Prussian forces. Their
Majesties expressed the Itigh:st satisfaction at the
discipline these troops had so long observed, and at
the excellent appearance which they presented.
" Almost the whole of the population of Valen-
ciennes thronged to witness this beautiful coup-d'-cril
arid last review. At four o'clock the Sovereigns re=
turned into the city ; they received some visits ; and
at six o'clock repaired to the Chinese Pavilion, on
the Place Verte, where the Duke of WELLINGTON
had invited them to a sumptuous dinner. His Grace
had prepared on the Place a magnificent tent, which
their Majesties had to traverse before they arrived
at the Banqueting Hall. This tent was adorned
with armorial trophies ; and the colours of all nations
were seen intermixed—an emblem of universal peace,
which produced the most agreeable sensation. After
the dinner the Emperor of Russia, who is still a
little indisposed, retired to the hotel which his MA-
rxarr occupies, and the King of PRUSSIA, accom-
paaied by the Prisms ROIAL, went to the Theatre.
After the Play, a ball was given by the City to the
Sovereigns, who attended it for about an hour, and
spoke in the handsomest terms to the Gentlemen
who did the honours of the night. The most wealthy
and beautiful of the Ladies of Valenciennes, enhanced
the eclgt of the ball by the splendour of their dresses,
and the illustrious strangers appeared as satisfied
with the reception they experienced, as the City was
with enjoying their presence within its walls."
" VALENCIENNES, OCTOBER 24.
" Yesterday, at seven o'clock in the morning, the
Emperor of RusstA called upon the King of Pans-
CIA, and the two Monarchs proceeded in the Empe-
ror's calash to Derain. On arriving there they alighted
and mounted en horseback, as did also the Duke of
WELLINGTON. The three illustrious personages then
placed themselves at the head of their respective
corps, and went through a sham fight, which lasted
from eight in the morning till four o'clock. The
Russians were victorious. The execution of these ma-
nceavres was favoured by the finest weather, but un-
fortur.ately some individuals were wounded; an Eng-
lishman, among others, was horribly mutilated.
" At five o'clock the Sovereigns returned to Va-
lenciennes, and gave several audiences; after which
they dined, as on the day before, at the Chinese Pa-
vilion, on the Place Verte. In the evening the Em.
peror of Russia gave audience to the Marquis d'Au-
TICRAMP and General DessoLze, and conversed with
them a long time. The King of Panama visited the
Theatre, which was adorned with much taste, and
eahibitcd at the door of the =taw* the following

Inscription, which may be regarded as a wish realized:
Conconifee Gentiunt.'
" After the Play the Duke of WittiNcrow gave a
Ball to the City, in return for that which they had
given on the day preceding. The Sovereigns ho-
,noured it with their presence, and did not retire till
two in the morning. To-day they are to repair to
Maubeuge, but it is not yet known at what hour."
The news from Paris presents little deserving of
observation. -The Chamber of Commerce is said to
have appointed, at one of its late Sittings, a Com-
mittee to prepare a Memoir to the two Chambers, so-
liciting that Paris may be made an entrepot for Colo-
nial Cybele French frigate, which has
been for more than two years on an exploratory voyage
to the Indian Seas, arrived at Brest on the 19th.—
Baron Picot de In Peyrouse, well known to the lovers
of botany by his Flora of the Pyrennees, and Secre-
tary of the Academy of Sciences at Toulouse, died
on the 17th instant, at the advanced age of 74.

We have received this forenoon Papers from Air-
la-Chapelle to the 23d, and from Brussels to the
25th instant.
AIX-LA-CIIAPF.LLE, OCTOBER 22.
Messrs. Baring, La Bouchere, and the principal
Bankers who were here, have left us for some days.
Prussia, not thinking its cla:m for 50,000,000 of
francs sufficiently secured by the signatures of the'
houses of Hepe and Baring, had desired, as a further
security, the signatures of a certain number of the
Bankers of Berlin ; but these two houses have pre-
ferred discounting the 50,000,000 at the sate of Five
per Cent.
To perpetuate the memory of the Congress of the
Sovereigns, the ancient names of the streets in which
the houses occupied by the-Allied Monarchs are
situated have been changed, and are to be henceforth
called Alexander-street, Francis street, and Frederick
William-street.

The absence of their Majesties the Emperor of
Russia and the King of Prussia Will be about twelve
days or a fortnight at the most. Mean-time the Con-
ferences between the Ministers continue, and are still
involved in the same mystery.

BRUSSELS, OCTOBER 44.

Their Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Tour
and Taxis arrived here yesterday from Aix-la-Cha-
pelle ; also Madame la Marechale Soult, Duchess of
Dalmatia, on her way from Aix-la-Chapelle to Paris.

It is understood that a distinguished partizan of the
Spanish American Patriots, .who has passed some
months in the different parts of the United Kingdom,
has been eminently successful, notwithstanding former
disappointments, in procuring volunteers to cross the
Atlanti: under his orders. He hit already obtained
the promises of one thousand five hundred indivi-
duals, of whom about one thousand, it is said, will-
proceed in a few days, in four transports, from the
River—the rest will be shipped at Greenock, and from
the North of Ireland. The Agent alluded to ha: char-
tered for this service ten vessels, half of tl)e freight of
which has been paid to the owners in advance. A
considerable accession of volunteers is expected from
the Continent ; so that before the close of the ra-r,
the European force destined to act under him, is ex-
pected to amount to not less than three thousand
men. The different vessels will, it is supposed, ren-
dezvous at Old Providence, off the Mosquito shore,
where Commodore ALAN has already made a lodg-
ment ; and thence, the Leader of the expedition will
direct his future movements, according to circum-
stances, so as either to oper. a direct communication
with the Independents in the interior of New Gra-
nada, or to produce an important diversion in
their favour, by landing on the Isthmus of Darien.
It is by some conjectured, that his ultimate views are
not unconnected with the intended operations of Lord
COCHRA NE in the Paeific, It is no longer a secret
that his Lordship has proceeded to take the command
II of the Independent naval force at Valparaiso, and it
cannot be doubted, that successful attacks upon the
wealthy Spanish Settlements to the northward of that
port, are contemplated by that enterprizing Officer.
Hence, it is not unlikely that a part of the troops,
now on the eve of sailing, may be destined to pene-
trate across the Isthmus, and to be employed by his
Lordship as a corps of debarkation. According to
letters from Cadiz, to the 7th inst. and from Madrid
to the 15th, advices had been received from Vera
Cruz, to the SOth of July, representing the whole
kingdom of Mexico to be then hr a tranquil state ;
but admitting that there seemed to be a disposition
to revolution. Several millions of specie had been
deposited at Vera Cruz, and only waited vessels of
war to convey it to Cadiz. The Insurgent privateers
had left the neighbourhood of the port of Havannah,
but they were not far distant, and the object seemed
to be to entice out richly laden Spanish vessels.—
No news had been received at Cadiz at the date of
the last letters, of the rich convoy frern Havannab,
which sailed so long ago ; great apprehensions are
entertained that it has fallen into the hands of the
privateers, under the Patriot flag.

The pregnancy of the Duchess of CLARINCE has
been officially announced to the Plume RZOZNT.
The Countess of Livsaroos., we are concerned to
state, is indisposed at Walmer Castle.
The Fail of ROMNZY has resigned the situation of
Chairman of the Western Division of Kent.
The Duke and Duchess of Monvaesa, and the
Ladies Gnaws, arrived yesterday at the mansion
of his Grace, in Grosvenor-square, from their seat in
Scotland.
