Stu,-alf•or readers may see, that, in order to calk-
Onset Mr. Colthett's advice, it was necessnry for Old
Smrnbi tse•explore the regions aloes! and to make a
trumpeter of Mr. : who says, in his next year's
Alma nark., that we shall have mars, horrid woes! 11111
t‘arom intends, by this pretended prophecy, to make the

will rise.;, and to Woe, them to remain on their farms,
till thrir last shilling is taken away by the Parsons,
Tag-gatherers, sett Laadowners.
A great many of as have hitherto been dogmatists ;

LOSDON:
TLESDAT EVENING, PECFMNIM 10, 1822.

STOCK ESCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.—The lung ar-
ticle from Paris, in the Journal des Debuts, has created
some sensation in the city, hut so many articles of late
have been inserted in derrencli papers,both pro and con,
in the affairs of Spain, people have become indifferent to
them. In consequence of this, the Funds have not expe-
rienced so great a rise a+ nay expected. By some, it is
thought, a stock•jobbing maoceuvre, but, by the well.
informed, it is supposed to be a forerunner to a declara-
tion on the part of France, on her conduct regarding the
affairs of Spain. Consols opened this morning, at Eftt¢t•
and are, at present, steady, at :+Ol. An express is ar-
rived from Paris, with papers of Sunday, consequently,
no price of the French Funds can he received.
FoREIGN MARKET.—The chief business doing is in
New• Spanish and Prussian Bonds, which appear to be
on the rise.

this is the day when the determination of the parties is
to be received. Bonds of IS2I. 514.

FROM THE SIERRA LEONE GAZETTE OP THE 21:1 JUNE,

(KIM-KT OF A LETTER.)

" By his Britannic Majesty's ship Myrmidon, on Mon-
day last, we received the distressing information of the
loss of one of the Spanish prizes, the Ycanam of Ha-
Vann:Lb. taken in the 11 'tiny, on board of which, me.
lincholy to relate, nearly.-100 slaves, and 16 seamen, of
the Iphigenia, perished. The officers in charge, Messrs.
Betty and Dought, are unhappily among the number.—
At the time the dreadful catastrophe occurred, the Yea-
naut was in sight of theiSlyrmition, and from the violence
of the torna,lo in which she was upset, any assistance
was totally in, possible. A boat with seven of her sea-
men, oho bad miraculously saved themselves from the
reek, sere picked up four days after it happened.

All the Paris papers of STiturday that were due, have
arrived ; and with the excep:ion of that which reached
us yesterday by express, they *till are of a pacific cha-
racter. While the Pate retains its hankering for war,
and its penchant for the Spanish Royalists, the Journal
des Pala,' (another Ministerial paper), exhibits an ar-
ticle of considerable length and ability to pro►e the fully
Of an armed interference in the affairs of Spain. From
the authority attached to the publication in which this
article appears, and the intelligence dippl iyed in', its ar-
gument. an inference is drawn that the tiovernment of
France is at this moment diverted from iik warlike pur-
poses. Linlr. reliance, however, can be placed on such
a sett of demanstratioo, whl;e-lhe other indicatidba re-
in sin on the Frontiers that are so Nerdy hostile. 'Till
the answer of the Spanish Govern Merit be obtained to
the Declaration or Message of the French, it may be
politic to assume the tone. of moderation and forbear•
since. The postscript of the /Wile: indeed, slates that
the Cortes have determined to reject any proposition
fur modifying their Constitution, which was one of the
French demands. If this account he correct,war may be
postponed, but must be inevitable. The Courier
Franrais contradicts the report which it had pre-
viously noticed of the arrival of the Duke of Wel
lington at Paris, and mentions that an evening
journal had announced that he was not expected
until towards the end of the month. The same
paper also states on tie authority of a private letter from
Verons, that five clerks belonging to the Austrian diplu•
many have been arrested. They are accused, it is said,
of cdlmuunicating secret documents to one of the Powers
represented at the Congress. The French Clambers, it
is understood. will he conruked for the 4th of January.
