SATURDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 20, 1823.

STOCK EXCHANGS, 12 o'CLoca..—Consols opened this
morning at 834 to I, but soon after they were sellers at
834, with little doing. Up to this hour we do not bear
positively of any Express having arrived from Paris, al-
though a report prevailed thatthe French Rentes had come
91-30.

Another report also prevails, that the Duke of Angoulense
has allowed that the terms proposed by the Cortes were

admissible, with a few exceptions; and it was expected that
the affairs of Spain would soon he amicably terminated.
FOREIGN FUNDS.—Colembiaa Bonds have experienced
a depression this morning, owing to the intelligence of two
French frigates appearing on that coast, which are sup-
posed to be hostile to that Government. Spanish Bonds
opened at 3d, but soon declined to 354.—ColumbiaaBonds.
54—Russia, s4.—French Scrip, 2ii.

Advices front Bayonne to the 13th instant, have reached as

this morning, from which we extract the following :
RATONNI4 September 12.—We have received, by the army
Courier, the following information, from Madrid of the 4th
instant.

" From the public and private conversations of the partisans
of the Regency, it may be inferred that they are incensed that
the Cabinet of Ht. James's has not thought fit to recognise
their Government, and lint they are not now so apprehensive
as they were a month ago of the English infittence in the pre-
sent contest. One of the members of the Regency (M. Cal-
deron) gave his opinion on this subject very explicitly, in a
privy council held a few days since in the Royal Palace. Let
thsEnglish,' said he, 'govern their island, and not meddle with
our affairs. By what right does that nation, which is neither
liberal nor aristocratical, think to make itself a mediator, and
bring about an accommodation with a faction which we have
vanquished without its assistance? It is to our efforts and to
the sacrifices of France, that we shall owe the approaching
triumph of our cause, end it will therefore be for ns to reap the

fruits and induce the monarch, when he is at liberty, to in-
demnify France. What, then, does England seek ? to stop our
triumphant march ? to replange us into ao anarchy by a false
arrangement? No mediation—no compromise with those
wretches. Such ought to be the principal point which should
be the basis of our despatch to the French Friona.'

It is affirmed that this despatch was thus forwarded to
the Duke on the 2.ith or 28th of last month, that is as
soon as news was received of the taking of Corinna. The
moderate French who in general do tilt participate in the
confidence of the Regency, with respect to the success, if
mot of the war, of the pacification of the country, would
not be averse to the intervention of England, but the Ultras
who daily become more numerous in the army, exalted
by the advantages hitherto gained, and especially by the
taking of the Trocadero, openly blame that Power for de -
siring to interfere in their quarrel with the Constitu-
tionalists. They boast that they can subdue and sur-
mount every thing. Even Gibraltar Hull would not be a
morsel too hard of digestion for thew.

The opinion of the Liberals towards England produces
the same results, though the causes are different. The
more violent bitterly complain of the indifference of the
Cabinet of St. James's in this war, the success of which,
if we believed them, would even now depend on the least
assistance director indirect from the English. They do not
perceive that they have perhaps been themselves the cause
of this policy of Great Britain, by their pride and miscon-
duct toward, it. The moderate Constitutionalists though
they do justice to the Eoglish nation fur the little aid it
b&S sent, are however dissatisfied with the Government.
The neutral and peaceable part of the nation, going on
the false principle that "the English Cabinet assisted Spain
i u the last war against Napoleon, only for its own interest,
now say, that the English are inactive, because they
have nothing to gain on this occasion ; yet, if the French
should drove conquerors in Spain, which may be expected
from the great resources they can command, this country
will be very much under the influence of France, while
that of Great Britain will be diminished here, and is the
sequel, perhaps, in Portugal: for, this is the tendency of
the policy of the North.

. -
1 In the general Improvement of Internal commerce in Spain,
n consequence of the large sums spent by the French, the
English are nearly excluded from it the advantages of it es-
pecially since the invasion of GalleM, by the exclusive protec-
tion given to French goods, which now have the advantage in
the provinces on the Ebro, the Asturias, Arragon, and even
the Southern provinces where the blockade is a great hinder.
anee to the importation of English goods which will be mill
more restricted when the orders of the Regency for tbe organi-
sation of the Custom houses on the frontiers of Portugal,
shall be put into execution. Mean time the English merchant-
men sail about our seas without knowing where to land. Remo
bound to Galicia have been obliged to proeeed to Gibraltar,
not having been able to enter any Spanish port on the ocean
in the Mediterranean."
September 13.—We have nothing sew from oar hoofers,
uleas it be tie disorder at Passages, which is talked of, but
