makers, are not to be brought down in their wages like
common Lbot ; and I thank God for it. Then,
spin, as to anstarnped papets, is not their price "fixed
by law ;" fixed by street and sensible and modest Six-
Acts? And do not we think this a great hardship ;
and should we not gain five times as much if we were
allowed to sell the papers at our own price ? That is to
say, at a low price? But, bet-ides the inewsrectness,Mr.
Arismoo is guilty of flagrant injustice here. Fur
surely, the Register and the STATESMAN belong to
" the press." And will be say, then, that they have dis-
covered no knowledge of this subject; that they have
shown no anxiety to arrest the confiscation ?
The truth is, however, and here we touch Mr. Arr-
WOOD closely ; Le wants us to adopt his remedy ; and,
because we will not do that, lie lumps us along with the
rest, as pet tons who are gaining by the robbery com-
mitted on debtors. I observed above, that I.e would not
tell ets his rerne4. lie has, however, told it to us on
touter occasions, though he is so very coy now. lie
told it to the Agricultural Committee of 1821 ; and, for
the mockery that they made of his project he has not yet
forgiven them. This scheme is a paper-scheme. tile
could hoist the Gridiron. 1 thank him for that ; but
I want to hoist it on a redaction of the interest of the
Debt, and not on a repeal of Nees Bill! He wants
Taat.'s Bill repealed: 1 want a !rectifying of contracts.
I like the "forte monnoie," for that will be too strong
fir Gallon and Gld Sarum. He is . for the Ministers
gining way. 1, honest and wise men asil know them to
be, am fur their persevering in the " stern path of duty."
At the close of paragraph 12, Mr. ATTIWOOD has a re-
. mark, which, we must confer', we can by no means
understand. lie says, that the landlords there been
doped by their own greediness; and that, while the jews
and lawyers are quarrelling for the " split", the " radi-
'. cats step in to claim the lion's share". What can he
mean by this? What "spoil" have the radicals claimed?
Are they getting any part of the "forte monnie"? Hare
they had any, thing to do with the matter, as yet? They
torso, indeed, if that be what you aim it, to get their
political rights ; het what has this claim to do with
Peers Bill? Ah ! Mr. ATTWOOD '• You are a
paper money man still ! A Pitt-system man to the last !
'lino know well, that the good hard money leads to
a blowing np of the Boroughs ; and you lore the
boroughs, in spite of what you bare here said, about the
horses qf creditors. However, make up your mind, as
soon possible, to the worst ; and, believe me, that
thessMorouglis must he blown up, or every thing will
1r blown up, It is useless to snake wry faces: swallow
11w dose the Oligarchs must; and the sooner and snore
kist-ly they take it down, the better it will he for them ;
the better it will be fur as aU, perhaps; bat, certainly,
the betterfor thou. WU. COSSITT. .

LONDON:
MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER .16, NM

STOCK EXCIIA !Mg, Ttr tLV6 O'CLOCK.—Owing to the
accounts from Paris, in the morning papers. Consols
opened this morning at Sift, but the moment it was
known, that expresses had arrived from Paris, with the
news that the French Funds were somewhat worse, they
immediately lowered to UR. We understand, the
French papers do not contain any information of itn-
portance, except that the Duke of Wellington is going
to remain at Paris for some time ; and that the French
Funds are 90. Private letters state the fall in the French
Funds is entirely attributed to different parties realizing
in the market. Consols at present, are Sitto
Foemnst %alit:T.—A great bustle took place in this
market this mot Mng. New Spanish opened at 60, but
the moment it was known the expresses were in front
Paris, the ahoy. Stock lowered to 354-57-4 and up to
this hour it is

The Paris pipers which have arrived to the 14th inst
wear a very pacific app ' . The Joaried des Debate
commences a long article on the 130104 'Orating, " the
preservation of peace between Fritictand Spain appears
this day to be certain." Raving oss farther occasion, as
tbc.lournalist professekto examine either the right of in-
terference, or the hazards with which its exercise would
user been attended,be then proceeds to consider what can
he the ulterior views of the Allied Powers respecting their
fature relations with Spain. The great length of the ar.
title prevents its insertion in our Minims, and it may
suffice to say that its ihject is to intimate that the Allies,
whilst renouncing the unsafe means of armed interfer-
ence will make an unanimous effort (by negotiation we
smpose,) to change the present state of things in Spain
The changes contemplated appear to be to divest the au.
tborities of their present power, to suppress the clubs, to
check inquiry into the conduct of public officers, to re-
store the property of the Church, and to place the ad.
ministration on the basis of a Constitution better ba-
lanced. The meaning of the latter suggestion is
hinted at as consisting in a definitive Royal Veto,
a Chamber of Peers, or a new institution appro.
priated to Spain. If measures are not taken to produce
some effects like these, a menace is held out to Spain,
that " Earope would see itself reduced to the necessity
of excluding her from the community of civilized na•
Lions." 'lite tone of the Etuile is certainly milder than
heretofore, but, after noticing the above article, it adds
—" the reader will be able to judge for himself whe-
ther peace can be announced as certain before it is posi.
Lively known what ameliorations may be effected in
