Consols opened this morning at 781 to 79 for the Account, and
at present little is doing. They may at present be quoted at 781 I,
with a heavy market.
Yesterday, some vague reports of a rupture 'mistreat 'pain and

Consols have been fluctuating the whole of the morning, from

tee to 79, and within these tw;hours, there has been a good deal
of business doing op to the present time. Consols may be quoted
at grli. buyers for the Account, with scarcely any difference for
menry,

In the Foreign Market the fluctuation has been of more conse-
quence. South Antonini* securities have fallen store dui earlier
part Otte morning, ewe per Cent. owing to a report of unfavour-
able infonatition from Colombia; but en enquiry we cannot Sod
that there are any arrivals of a fresh date from that quarter of the
woad ; therefore it may be inferred that the above fall is mere
speculation, and that parties are realising.-

" Dlv au.ovaz BROTH/11—T have received your letters of the 24
iletZd August, which I highly value, and which filled my heart
'With real pleasure by the sentiments of respect, consideration, and
love, which my Brother expresses and manifests fat the blessed
memory of our august Father, whose death I and our family, and
the whole nation deplore, and will lament as long as sentiments of
konoer, religion, and filial duty subsist among us.
" But it is not on this account only that I highly value your
letters; it is also for the agreeable impression which they make in
all good Portuguese (and those are the majority), and for the horror
with which they strike the wicked; who, under the false and deceit-
ful appearance of friendship to my brother, desired scenes of blood-
'bed and horror, to be able, in the midst of revolution and disorder,
t satire their rage upon the innocent, and to improve their own
fortunes. I have ordered your letter of the 6th of August to be
. immediately published, that the whole nation may know that my
dear brother is a good son and a good subject, and that by retaining
and putting in practice the sentiments which be expresses in his
letters, be will One day be a good father, and perhaps a good sove-
. reign. Ivly brother knows me perfectly, and that I have no desire
to resign meantime, however, I cannot do otherwise than remain
at the head of the Government, according to the last Will of our
sagsst father, till the legitimate successor to the throne, our be-

loved brother, the Emperor of Brasil, shall give his orders and de-
clare his will."

The same paper also contains an Edict of the Intend-
ant General of the Police, ordering the delivery of the
garbled and falsified extract of the ConstitutionAl Char-
ter. • Notice is•taken of the imprudence and audacity
of cettAin individuals of the lower classes, in insulting
persons wearing the medal of fidelity to Royalty.

We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday. Their
contents are not of.much interest. The Qlotidienite has
a private letter from Lisbon, in which there is a great
display of spleen towards England. These Papers are
chiefly filled with long discussions upon the denuncia-
tion of the Count De MON nos= against the Jesuits,
and their supposed growing ascendancy. It is a topic
of little interest in this country.

The Lisbon Papers contain a Royal Decree, dated
27th April, at Rio de Janeiro, granting an amnesty to
all such Portuguese as may have been imprisoned, pro-
secuted, or exiled, for political opinions, and pardoning,
besides, all crimes, for which no greater punishment
than three years' condemnation to the gallies had beed

awarded ; and, likewise, all climes, where not more
than three years of the sentence remained to be com-
pleted at the issuing of the Decree. Means have been
adopted for giving full effect to this judicious measure.
lAkOfficial Note from Oporto, of the 22d July, states,,
that, from the prompt and decisi►e meastires adopted
against the enemies of the State, public tranquillity re-
mained undisturbed. Almost all those• who had en-
deavoured to excite distur,bance had been seized and
imprisoned. Among the insunrectiunists are mentioned
Brigadier MADUREIRA and Colonel SILVA.
The Rarboleir contains a long letter from the
IK-
-IrAwTA RUMAT to Dow MOM. in answer to his of the
14th June, in which she mentions, that her exertions
have been principally directed to the execution of the
wise determinations of the King, Do* PIM*, her august
brother. She likewise presses on Dow MlauaL the
propriety of avoiding all communieation ;with these
who may endeavour to persuade him that those deter-
minations have not been received with the applause and
general approbation of the kingdom. _

As a proof of the present deplorable State of Spain,
we give the following citron from Madrid, of the *With of July t

This rumince must afford a high treat to the lovers
lof fictitious descriptions of human character. The pre-
' face consists of a few delightful stansas,dedicated to the
" Lady Love" of its author, which, as they are written
with uncommon pathos, we subjoin, as a choice noorcean
fur nur poetic 41 readers :
DEDICATORY STANZAS TO NT LADY LOVE.
When last we parted, Lady, %was in tears;

Thy cheek was dimmed with sorrow's trickling dew,
And from my heart the grief of many years,
Hoarded till nigh forgotten, burst anew,
aid offerings to love and memory true;
Shall ever memory faint, or love be cold?
Ah, no! that cheek may lose its breathing bye,
And those dear eyes their living beams withhold,
But love shall still endure, With faith unknown, untold !
Accept the tribute that to thee I bring,
(It is the first, and it will be the last,)
The leisure fruit of fancy's wandering:
But fancy rules no more—her sway is put,
And into other paths my course is nut;
Me now no more shall fiction's dreams beguile;
Their hues, like fading rainbows, vanish fast;
My feet shall tread in paths of drearier toll,
And fiction bide her wreath, and poesy bef while!
Yet, if to me a loftier lyre were given,
And round my harp were twined a brighter wreath ;
If I could snatch immortal verse from llzaves,
And pour Its melody to souls beneath,
It may be that I would not cease to breathe
Thy name in accents love should make divine,
And round thy beauteous brows a band enwreath,
A garland bright, whose flowers should brighly shine
More lovely, and more bright, when sunn'd by smiles of thine!
My Lady Lovel am I not far from thee?
Far, far away—but soon again we meet;
Ye moments swift, oh, yet more swiftly fire,
Ye slower hours, away on winged feet ;
Waft me, oh, waft me upon pinions Iket.
Olve me again my vows of love to tell.
Steal food 'pyre's! from her blushes sweet,
Adore her glering cheek and bosom's swell,

And win the silent thoughts, that in that bosons dwell!

The scene of the story is laid in Chiverton Hall, an
ancient castle in the north of England, and its date ap-
pears to be the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The plot is
founded on and describes the nefarious devices of a
brother of the heroine, Lady Ellice, to prevent her mar-
riage with a lover, for whom she had formed a romantic
attachment. These he carries into execution by em-
ploying two villainous agents, Scymet, a physician, and
a dumb Moor, both of whom are represented as acting
Ithe most infernal part, till their machinations end in the
violent death of their devoted victim. The characters
are drawn with a masterly hand, and represent, in a
striking light, the workings of the malignant passions,
when bent on perpetrating some fiendish deed. But
although the chief part of the work is employed in de-
lineating atrocious characters, it contains also several
corm sketches, which are well supported, in conformity
with the style and manners of the age of Elizabeth.
The Gerwea Novelists : translated frons the Originals.
with C►itical and Biographical Notices. By TMOIIAI
Roscoe. In 4 vols. London, 1826. _

It is highly important to the interests of science, when
Imo of talent are found not only applying the energies
of their powerful minds in illustrating particular sub-
jects in the literature of their own country, but also in
enfolding the treasures of foreign authors by correct
and elegant versions of their most admired works. Of
those who have thus distinguished themselves, Mr. Ros-
coe is none of the least considerable ; and the work be-
fore us affords an excellent specimen of the skill and
ability with which he has executed a faithful translation
of the most popular German Novelists from the earliest
period to the end of the last century. He has en-
riched the publication with critical and biographical
notices, which elucidate the most important passages,
by shewing the different moral lessons contained in the
narratives. It is impossible, within the space allotted in
our columns for noticing publications, to give even a
condensed view of the subjects contained in this.
The first tale, viz. Reynard the Fox, adroitly repre-
sents, in allegorical language, and under the picture of
court of beasts, the intrigues carried on in a human
court, where the most mischievous plots are concerted
by a wily politician to serve his own purposes; 4, By
such means," says the Translator, 44 the Lion risks the
loss of his dominions, while Reynard (who is supposed
to represent the Duke of Lorraine), and some other
personages, doubtless imitated from real life, carry their
obnoxious measures."
• The allegorical description given is thus explained in a
pitical notice by the Translator. 6, By the Fox's hypo-
erisy is seen the dissimulation of worldly men, who as-
Aloe the cloak of religion while perpetrating the worst
,deeds. His grand escort shows the flattery and base-
ness of people laying their services at the feet of a new
.favourite, whom before they had opposed and despised."
With such occasional notices interspersed throughout
the work, its hidden meaning is clearly developed, and
whit appears on the first glance at them a collection of
of fairy tales, is found to contain a treasure of instruc.
tfon for inculcating the most useful lessons of morality.

Books of general knowledge have of late years issued
from the Press in such numbers, that one is at a loss to
select what are best suited for the purposes of education.
Each of these has its respective merits; and if exten-
sive information embodied in a work be any recom-
mendation to it, this volume is certainly entitled to no
small degree of praise. It contains notices on a great
variety of useful subjects, particularly those connected
with Education, and is, in short, an epitome of general
knowledge. well calculated to enlarge the ideas of the
youthful mind. ' The details are accurate,. short, and
c..mprehensive, expressed in simple language, easily
intelligible by every class of readers. The Work de.
serves great credit for its abundant store of useful and
amusing information, and may, indeed, be said to con-
tain a World of Knowledge."
