STOCK EXCHANGR, TWELVE O'CLOCIC.
This is a close Holiday, and the Bank, Stock Exchange, and
Yereign market* are an closed : in consequence of which, most of
• , the Brokers and Speculators are assembled on the Royal Exchange,
• but up to the present time little business is doing. Consols are
'II I nominally, and Mexican has been done at 471; but owing
to the letter from Jamaica not being credited, Mexican has fallen
, slain to 461.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The Jamaica letter, advising of the coming of X'700,000 sterling
from Vera Cruz. has been the general topic of conversation on
'Change the whole of the morning, being so important to the
Mexican Stockholders; hut the amount of the sum, and the date
of the letter, puts the credibility of its contents entirely out of the
question, and the well-informed do not give it the least credit.
On 'Change there is scarcely a bargain done in Consols, but a
*pod deal has been doneiti Mexican Bondi, which, in the earlier
part of the morning, reached 474, since which they have receded
to 40, and Brazilian Shares 10 to'IQ prem. Consols may be

quoted at 784 for the Account,- and 781 for October, which have
been fixed prices during the whole of the morning.

We stated a few days since that the King of SPAIN,

either thionzli poverty or disinclination, had withheld
annual tribute from the Dey of Anorzns. It appears
by the following letter, posted at Lloyd's this morning,
that the DEY had sent a squadron to crnize against the
Spaniards, to inforce, it is conjectured, the cu tomary
payment.

" GIBRALTAR, Avourt 1.

" The A,-Igerine squadron, consisting of one Frigate,
two Corvettes, three-Brigs, and one Schooner, was seen
off Majorca five days since, and it appears intends to
truize in this neighbourhood. The Angel de la Guardia,
horn Veneros to Marseilles, and the Virgina del Carmin,
-from Barcelona to Marseilles, prizes to the Colombian
privateer iigpublican, arrived here 31st ult. and 1 A I liSt."

The following is an extract of a private letter rusted
up it the Noah and South Arne' ican Coffee-house. If
true, it is of great importance ; but the date of the letter
is rather old, as we have accounts from Jamaica of the
11th of July, by the last packet :

" Kingston, Jamaica, June 28.
. DRAW SIR-I hate sent you, by the Niagara, via Liverpool, a file
.of Jamaica Papers. The DRITTONAKT, brig of war, which arrived
a few days ago from Vera Cruz, fell in with, during her voyage,
his alajcsty's ship TweeD, Captain Holm, from Tampico t. the

IHavannah, having on board Ico,ooo dollars for the latter place.

Captain limit informed Captain CHARMAIN, of the Bair:MART,
. •
ithat the Anglo Mexican Mitring concerti had completely failed.
, ,About. £700,000 sterling was ready at Vera Crus, to be shipped
to England, to pay off the instalment due on the Mexican Loan. A
• request had been made to the Commander-in-Chief, on the Ja-
, pnaiea station, to send. a frigate to take the specie, and to grant a
pawago, to the Mexican hlinister and his family. The Hussaa,
Captain !lariats, it is said, on her return from Barbadoes, will
, proceed to Vera Crux for that purpose."
.• The above letter has caused a great deal of sensation
'oii"Ch'ange, and on which various opinions are formed,
• some believing, and others disbelieving it.

The accounts from Vera Cruz, dated the 4th of
Jiine, state that the place still remained sichly, and that little or
. Rd business was doing. A convoy from Mexico was expected by
the middle of.tise ffillOaing month, when it was expected trade

would revive. Specie was never known so scarce, when the ac-
,
sourrs left.

• Letters from Milo, of the 10th of July, state, that since
• the fall of Missolonghi, IBRAnas army has been
dis-
persed n the Morea, waiting reinforcements : that the
Cheeks are in want of money, and have but few regular

troops; that Napoli is encumbered with people, having
*note than thirty thousand in the town : a great number
of them are refugees; and the typhus fever is raging
in' the City.

• :Accounts fiom Madrid state, they are waiting with
impatience for the return of the KING, as it W 35 expected
it would be followed by the change of the Ministry, on
a More moderate principle.

We have tecei•ed the French Papers of the 21st, and

the Eloik dated the 2'2d. The accounts from Greece
are not favourable. The Journals of the South ate full
of exaggerated news on both sides of the question with
respect to Portugal. The English General, Srunns, in
the Portuguese service, is appointed Governor of ()ono.
the arrival of the new Minister of War, the Officers
were erased from the list are again employed. In
~.144 War Department, and that 'of Foreign Affairs, an

- ~iictivity prevails which WAS never known in Portugal.

rrankfort Papers to the 17th have been received.
They contain some rumours of Ministerial changes in
-Russia- alter the Coronation; and an interesting letter
• from Rome,' giving an account of some recent disco.
sj, •
. verses aa antiquity at Brescia. The following are extracts:
POLAND, At:min- 7.
ts' Majesty the Emperor Nicholas, who left St. Petcrsburgh on
the filth of last month, was to arrive en the 30th at MOSCOW. It
is said that his Imperial Highness the Czarewitsch and Grand
Duke Constantine, will not be present at the Coronation at Moscow,
at &east we have not yet heard of any preparations for the journey.
The continued presence of the Grand Duke in the kingdom of
rni mil may indeed be considered as the none necessary, because
his I lightiess is Commander in Chief of the Pcpish and Lithuanian
,irmy, and the ceremony of the Coronation at Warsaw will take
place immediately after that at Moscow.
Among the many unauthentieated reports that are in circulation
here, is a revival of that of a change In the Ministry, immediately
after the return of the Emperor to St. Petersburgh. Otte pnliti.
clam, whose vocation it is true originates with themselves, have a
list of the new Ministry ready drawn up, in which important de.
partments are assigned to Lieutenant-General Baron Von Dkbitsch
and Count Cape (nark. It is also said, that the Russian Govern-
ment will make an application to that of Great' Britain, desiring it
'reeve up the Counsellor of State Turgueneen, who is reported to
have Bed to England. Whether this application will be acceded to is
another question, though there are some classes of misdeals to which
the Englfth laws afford no protection.
