The Market this morning commenced well ; Con-
sols began at 69j, and Omnium at only I discount.
They then rose to 694, and large quantities of Om-
nium were done at i premium ; but immediately

after the Commissioners were served, some immense
sales took place, and Omnium fell to r discount, at
which price it remained at one o'cloek.- :A report is
current on 'Change that the Bank' have agreed to
take in the Omnium.

It is rumoured in the City that a great proportion
of the sum to be paid the Bank by Government will
be in specie ; and tor tkis purpose two Commissioners
were sent to South America to procure bullion, a
large quantity of which, it is stated, has been pur-
chased at Vera Cruz.

On the f.th instant a dreadful hail-storm ravaged
most of the Communes of the Arrondissement of

Macon. The hail-stones were, in general, of the size
of nuts ; some as large as eggs. The. surface of the
gruund was covered, in many places, to the depth of
seven or eight inches. The damage done is incalcu-
lable. Fruits and crops of every kind have been de-
stroyed, and the unfortunate cultivators reduced to a
state of the greatest destitution.
Several other parts of France have experienced si-
milar visitations, particularly the vicinities of Metz
and Tours.

has undergone no change for these three weeks past.
The Physicians cannot foretell, v,ith any degree of
probability, the moment which will terminate his
painful existence.
The Spanish Government is said to have received
very recent accounts from various parts of South
America ; but as no part of them has been published,
it is generally concluded that they are not of a fa-
vourable description. The Merchants have however,
received some advices from the Havannah, of which
we are favoured with the following version :

" MADRID, MAY 30.

The capital of Peru, the opulent city of Lima, is
threatened by a formidable armament preparing in
Chili. The Viceroy has addressed a Proclamatien
to the Peruvians, exhorting them to take arms for the
common defence ; but this address seems to have
produced but little effect, and to have been coldly
received. The Araucanians, on whom great hopes
were built, persist in remainftng in their mountains,
which they indeed promise to defend; but they will
not leave them, notwithstanding all the promises that
have been made to them. In Mesita, a new Insur-
gent has appeared, and causes some uneasiness. Mel
pretends to be a descendant of Montezuma, and has
taken up arms, he says, to deliver his country from
the unjust successors of the first Spanish Conquerors.
This Chief appears to have at present only somchun-
dred men under his banners, but fears are entertained
of the influence of a name which tradition has pre-
served in Mexico, even among the meanest of the
inhabitants."
From the following article of East India intelli-
gence, we are happy to find that the Dutch have at
length so far innovated upon their old system of ex-
clusion as to throw open the navigation and trade
with their Indian possessions (the Moluccas excepted)
to all nations with whom the King of the Nzimmt-
LANDS is at peace :

BATAVIA, JANUARY 38.
