MARSEILLES, AUGUST 4.i

The affairs of the Barbary pirates occupy the atten-
tion of our merchants and politicians much. We wait
with, impatience for the results of the combined cape-
jition against these Powers. And yet the French
iserchants !lave wit much reason to complain : the
Babary Powert have preserved with our Sovereign,
the ancient relations of amity and good intelligence,
*which unite the Sublime Porte and France. But now
it is the causeof huinanity, and whatever may be our
interests our wishei are not eqi:ivoo4l.

For some days we have rtnnarked that those em.
ployed at the English Consulate have worn the white
cockade. This mark of harmony thews that the E• ng.
lish do not all think like Wilson, Bruce, and Compa;iy.
The Police, instructed that one Sir James
to was enquiring tar the ionize/a of the last Govern-
ment, visited his residence, where, having found some
trash belonging to the Usurper, they packed them up
and pat their seals upon them.

PARIS. AUGUST 1..

We.learn from Avignon, that the silk-worms have
been very productive this year in the South of France.

Advice: have reached us from Buenos A yres to the

middle of May: It is now rumoured that the Portu-
guese Gnu:lntent, which was originally thought to
have sent troops to assist in repressing the patriots,

is looking forward with confidence to the union of
the provinces, of Buenos Ayres with the kingdom of
the Brazils. The external signs of concord, whatever

may be the grounds of it, between the Buenos Ayres
Goverootent and the Portuguese, is the passage of
frequent deputations• from Buenos Ayres to RioJa-
' nen*, while the Portuguese troops continue in great
surnberson the frontiers: • .
The next intelligence from Buenos Ayres may be
expected to possess considerable interest.

" As to Interesting events, I do not know of any deserving at•,

Yesterday was a very busy day at the Stock Ei
change. The-Market left•Coff.—Consols, for Money;
6li ; for Account, 61H. At font; o'clock one of the
fitst Jobbers was a very greitt seller for the Acco'unt:
The failure of one Broker for nearly a million
[i. e. for the difference on that amount of Stock] ex-
cited for a time considerable alarm. The faces of
the Balli and Beam would have furnished some fine
subjects for Caricatnrists, had any been-there in search
of subjects. By. the Beare it was remarked, that Mr.'
had long been the mouth-piece and cats.paW of
a certain junta of the Belk : the Belle, on the con-
trary, praised the exertions he had been making to
prevent the Funds from sinking through the effect of
false fears and• alarms excited by the Bear:, and
maintained that but for his spirit Consols would by
this time have been at 59 tw 58.
The Commissioners' for Liquidating the National
Debt gave yesterday, in Me Stock .Extionge, for their
lot of Reduced, 62i, while. if we are not much mis-
informed, there were sellers to any amount in the
Public Market at the New Stock Exchange and at the
Bank at 61i, even for Friday next. Does not this
fact shear, that but one place of tale for the
Public Funds ought to be tolerated ? When
the Act was passed for empowering Ministers to
purchase Stock for the public •acconnt, the Stock
ExMange was an qua Mat ket, and continued so till
the year 1799 when (by whom we know not) it was
shut up from the Public ; and it has continued so
ever since. This abuse should be instantly corrected.
We believe,that the Lois MAYOR for the time being
has a right to open this as well as any other Market
in the City to the public in general, or to compel them
to shut up shop it they refuse to comply. If so, the
Worthy Magistrate who so ably fills the civic
chair could not render the public a greater service
than by enforcing h:s authority. At any rate Mi-
nisters should interfere to secure for the Commissioners
the benefit of the lowest market. The difference be-
tween Gil and 62-1 on the amount of one day's put-.
chase M these Commissioner., is a sum of considerable
1 magnitude.,
