STOCK EXCRANGII, HAL, PAST 12 o'CLOcs.—Owing
to the pacific accounts from Paris, this lifarket has ra-
ther improved this morning. Consols *penal at 801,
and went up to M. At present they us at 801.—Wedist
day being Christmas hey, the Stock Eschange,f Paris
was not open, and therefore there is 00 esprest thrived
relative to the French Funds; but A.private entrees of
that day, it is said, is in town, and Ike lettgra.44ltors
reported to state, that the Parisians ate become sick of
the iattay rumours which had of late prevailed merely
fur Stock jobbing purposes; and that it* now Credited,
in the above capital that eventually a peace with Spain
will be the result.
PORSIGN FUNDS.—There is not much doing this
morning in the abuse Market. Spanish opened at Sit,
went up to t.
Chill, 73—New Spanish. Jig—Old, 81—New Preislan, 66
isyl—Dnsaia, u3—Danish, 91—Neapolitan, 761—Co-
lombian, ON—Peruvian, 771—Spanish Scrip, 91 disc.

We have received this morning, by the regular con I 1
veyance, Paris papers to the 23tb instant. They bring,
however, no important addition to the intelligence
which reached us yesterday by Express; At present
there appears not only a dearth of information, but a
suspension of speculation at Paris—a phenomenon the
more remarkable when no consider the negotiations
that most be necessarily going on, and Om fertility of
invention for which the Parisians are: distinguished
Another circumstance may be also noticed at the present
crisis as equally unaccountable—thedeelinsof theFreuch
Funds, while the hopes of many of the Pariteleurnalists
are encreasing in assurance as to the continuance of
Peace. The passage of couriers between. France and
Spain appears to be 4ry active. Within Ulmer@ seven
have passed through Bayonne to and from Madrid. The
Bayonne papers repeat the rnmour noticed before in the
Parisjournals, that a commercial treaty has been con-
eluded between Great Britain and Spin, and even
point out some [arrangements which are to be made
for the purpose of keeping up arekitlar comma
nication between the two countries aftei: occurience
of that event. It appeen. by accentktkef the Sib
inst. from Lisbon, that besides entering-ittoati offensive
and defensive alliance with Spain, the Potfegiese Cortes
have admitted a project of law for" comp:Wing the regi-
ments and battalions of the first lines to the full strength
they had before 1814, in order to supply the
deficit caused by the expeditions sent to Brasil."
Reports from the Spanish frontiers in the French papers
are various. One of Mina's divisions, it is said, has
been repulsed in an attack on Seo d'Urgel. The intel-
ligence relative to the Greeks is highly favourable. It
is now said that the Turks lost twenty vessels, besides
the Admiral's ship, through the effects of Grecian en _
terprise.

letblng bad been settled with the Duke t that is to stay,
between nand the Park,s vols. If this be the mean•
iog, and if Datinti. Stzwawr is sot tipplog us an eclair,
we an clearly parties to the enterprise against Spain ;
for, what is moaned, or CM be weaned, by Deist,
when he says, that no difirence of opinion existed with
respect to " Ike interference ?" Wily, It means, tie right
and the expediency?). interfering ; and; it appears frog
the Courier, that in this opinion OUR GREATEST
CA MAIN CONCURRED! Do you mess that, Da•
mit.? Do you mean to say that, BD. High Sheriff of
Oxfordshire that was to be? Seigueur de I'Eclair, is
that what yon mean ? Very well, then, according to
all was settled between the Bow-doss and the Duke,
except the mode and time of the French making the at-
tack ! This is comfortable sees for our friend, the
Chronicle! And our sick neighbour, the Tramper,
then! Comfortable news for the Hospital, in which the
poor Tramper is a subject ; or, indeed, we should call it
a Bed/ens ; for the poor souls in it, Lord KiNTON'II
late paper, the Globs, the Tramper, and the British
Press, have been raring away at a shocking rate, for two
months past, against our "war-like" productions ! If
war should take place, according to " mode and lime,"
these poor creatures (if thry have any scam of shame
left) will certainly commit violence on themselves.
however, they are safe from the Cross Roads and the
stake ; flr, we are ready (and it would be our duty) to
come :steward, and to raiakeeeth,that they have all been
mad for a long time past. But, it is possible, that
Brother DANIEL may mean, that " nothitig wall," when
the Duke came from Paris," decisi►ely settled" amonget
the French themselves ; that there was no difference of
opinion AMONGST THEM. about the right and expe-
diency of attacking the Spaniards. In this case the
Duke is merely Dastet.'s witennonger ; and he picked
up this news at Paris ! Take it either way, the news is
warlike ; the news is decisive for war ; and the only
doubt that can remain is, as to the" mode and the time ;"
that is to say, unless Brother DANIIIL be tipping us an
Eclair. We think that the news is true ; that the mode
nil! be by marching and by shooting; and that the
time will be, just about that, when our Lord Johns and
Lord Charleses are in the thick of the mess of Agri-
cultural Petitions end Distress. Just then will our
polite neighbours take .f their hats, and walk into
Spain.
BATII AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The matter, brought forth io these Institutions of I
Polly, is generally of surprisingly little conseqaenco.,..'
In the present ease, however, it is worthy of remark;
for, it shows what• some of the rich, or once rich, use's
have to say, out of Parliament, &int the present state
of Weis. —This meeting took place, at Bath, some five
weeks back. The Marquess of LCII3DOWN was Jelin,
Chair.—lt is the custom of the. Society to appoint. 11:
Committee to make a report Wink It is as extreowelt
childish concern, and that is rho terth of it. It is like
playing tat Pelianieets, as the boys do at soldiers.—
However, such is tha practice; sad it appears that the
report this year, was in a very dismal tone. Sir Joni
Coz Hieessurr, and a wino( the name of LILLY, and
a man by the name of PATIVS, were for setting aide Usti
report, because it tended to dispirit the farmers ; that
is to say, tended to prevent them from giving tblie
last shilling to the landlord and the paean.
pretty long diecussios, however, this project of setting
aside the report was abandoned. And new we have
nothing farther to remark on 'except a passage in the,
speech of Mr. Wan Wiens. who lately lived at hie
house near Guildford in Starry, which house is now let
to one of the lucky mortals who belong to the funding
or dead-weight system; and on a passage of the Mae-
quell of LANSDOWN. Mr. Werra WISTON is (in nal
Bath and Cheltenham Gazette, of Tuesday. the titli
of December), reported to have raid :
" lie himself had farms in Sorry which he could not
" let at any price. His neighbour, hit. Page, had every
" acre of his estates on hand. At the present prices, no
" farmer could make such profits as would pay even low
" rents, his taxes, and his poor's rates. go did 'stet
" ham what had become of British spirit ; for the pr..
" perry of the oldest jumilies was now become the prey
“of the tribe of Less. He was no speculator in land ;
" his estates had been in his family for centuries, and
•yet he had been taunted as being a:pees/aloe, at a pub-
.. lie meeting, by a Man whom, let who mon/d reepect,
."he did not :he meant Mr. Cohbat. It was true, be
"bad been a life and property man; he hail been fool
-4 enough to yen./ thousands to support a system, which
"bad preyed .ruinous to its supporters. He had bad
"his regiment of infantry, and has regiment of cavalry
"too, in his time, and had figured away on his charger,
"with a sabre in his hand, and a dashing military cost
".on his back. He bad frequently been told of Isis folly
hy
i" a nobleinao, his neighbour ;.bot had been too blind
Flo see his error, and he now had the consolation, when
a be met that Noble Lord, to he taunted with the reward
"be had met for being a life-and-property man—that
" the system had spared his life, but bad taken away his
" property. He considered a fictitious paper co eeeee y
"the groundwork of their ruin, and the sudden reeve
altos cash payments bad completed the work of destree-
latinn. Whilst the system was nourishing, lie, in coin.
111011 with others, hid thought it prodigiously good ;
!drain had, in conseqnence, thrice raised his nuts. but
'"he could with truth affirni that i.e never was the richer.,
.•• - .
Now, we hope, that Mr. Wenn Warns, did not say,
about Mr. COMPIITT. what is here imputed to him.

The gentleman acknowledges, that he has been any
thing but • wise man; ►•t, we sboalel be sorry to Ititd,
that he has been guilty of teiylit and nudieionefiette•
hood. Not only does Mr. COBBLTT dewy ever having
called him a speculator, or called him by any ill name,
or spoken of him in a disrespectful manner; but, it is
evident, from circumstances, that the charge. as it is re•

ported here, cannot be Ire. Mr. CORBETT has been
said to have called him a speculator at a County Med-
iu.. The only counties in which Mr. C ever
was at such Meeting, were Hampshire, Survey, and Kent.
That he mentioned Mr. Witsforesname lb Hamp-
shire or Kent, is undeniable. And, at both the meetings in
Surrey; the only two at which Mr. COB/MITT has been
present is that county. Mr. WESTON also was present.
And every one must believe, that if he bad called Mr.
WS/ITO:. a specalator to his fare. Mr. WUTON would MIA
have remained silent; and it is very certain that be
sever opened his lips woo the subjeet at either of those
meetings. Add to this the circumstance that Mr. Con-
SSTS was born only about sixteen, relies frets the family
mansion-house of Er, WISTON. Me has {mire, sad he

must hate known, that Mr. Wasrow hisfamily lave
for ages, been gentlemen in Surrey. The fact,tlaeretate,
is witol4 false. How it came into Mr. WESTON'S heed
it is not fur us to say. As to Mr. WESTON ant haciaa
flay respect for Mr. CONOETT, before lie wade this deals.
ration he might have stopped 'till the laiter bad said cr
done something which woula lead Mr. Wasrox to sap.
pose that Mr. Uossair was sedition or obtaiaiag li:s
respect. If we can believe, which we can, a hat al..
WISTON says of himself here, we should be led to salvo i
that the want of possessing his geed opinion is cost
thing likely to break the heart of any mu.
