groat Excnsrecs, 12 oil:tom—Consols opened this
morning at 841 to I, and are sow, for money, 8414, and for
next]account 84ii. In the earlier part of the morning, there
was a good deal doing. The rise of Consols is owing to
its being a treat Rear Account; and it is supposed that
fore Thursday, the account day, they will reach 83.
Up to this Lour we do not bear of any private Esprees
from Paris. This is supposed to be owing to there being.
no great variation in the French Funds.

FROM CUMACCOA.—By the arrival of the schooner: The

27th.of Sept. Theyjcontain accounts from Career's, 400
Lapin, to the 6th. The news from Peru is favoneabli.
The troops from Columbia and the three thousand men

the President Bolivar was expected at Santa Fe.

Tha King of Spain reached Madrid on the 13th inst. six
days after the completion of the horrid butchery of Riago;
end was suffered, without feeling the indignant vengeance
of one daring heart, to proceed, in a public, triumphal pro-
cession, through those streets which bad so re' ently blushed
for the murder of the gallant martyr to his rosintry's cause,
and to his own virtue and moderation. It was sntficiently
evident, that the destruction of Itirgo Was not. merely the
act of a single tyrant, from the circumetanre that Fermis
troops patrolled the streets, to preserve order during the
horrible execution ; but the manner in which Ferdinand
was ushered into his capital, so soon after the murder,
demonstrates the fact that Itiego was the martyr of the
collective tyrants of Europe, lwyond all possible doubt.
The "arms of France and Spain, and the colones of , the
" two nations, were displayed united." The French
and Spanish troops were under arms together.—
" The French artillery" fired salnies. Itoond the car
in which Ferdinand was seated, were placed the officers mad

The question of the Colonies remains in the ease date.—
Our Ultras hope the Holt Alliance will be content to neg.-
I tint., and to intrigue, with South America ; and if eon they

.. 1'

say. we have nothing to do with tits matter. The New
Times thinks the qeestion " may lead 'to important sego-
tiationi, but will not distnib the peace of &trope." This
mean, plainly, that England wilt not go to war, upon any
oeconnt, or for any reason: If the negotiations were im-
portant, they could only be adjusted lay • the concession of
the one party :—and our good, amiable, condescending
cabinet, is already marked every where for the behaviour of
the complaistnt courtier.

A correspondent of a Morning Paper says, that of the
seventeen newly appointed Commis to South America, his
Majesty has furnished one; Lord Lowther another ; Sir
Henry Wellesley a third ; Mr. Planta, three orfonr ; Lord
Bathurst one; the Marquess of Londonderry .one ; Lord
Liverpool one; Lord Derby one; and the Marchioness of
Stafford another. The writer says further, that of eleven,
nine do not know a bill of lading from a bull's foot nor
speak a word of the language of the people they are to live
amongst.—Now, all this certainly appears Very ridieolous
and our South American merchants will readily perceive
that they Most pry journeymen to do Bari? duty, If it is to
b, done; but what of the absurd is there in this, compared
with what was done by a certain enlightened nation, some
eettury,ago ; prben.it absolutely sent for a man who never
possibly heard of 'a bill of a lading, and toutd not speak
one word (tithe language of the senders. Not to make a
Consul of him, but a King—to govern them and their
.pos-
terlty for ever! as Mr. Burke says.

A preliminary meeting, we understand, was held to-any,
-at the Crown and Anchor, to consider of the best means. I.
It:press, in a public manner, the sympathy excited for the
fate'of (!suers! Riego. We could not wait for the result
af its deliberations; but we understand that it was proposed,
to erect a'rnonoinent. This, indeed, seems to be the only
method of paying an adequate tribute to his memory. The
cause in which he perished, is the cause of every free State :
awl however pressing may be the personal necessities of
his suffering countrymen .amongst us, there is not one
amongst them who does not feel the still greater necessity
Of doing something to perpetuate the glory of their great
leader, in the career of true patriotism. The erection of a
monument to time memory of a foreigner is certainly a novel
proposition ; and it will be to the honour of England, per-
haps, aloni, "that she shOuld have given the exatnp'e of
adopting the fallen heroes of liberty as her children. Had.
Riego tridniphed, every city in Spain had teemed with me-
morials of his success. Let the patriot feeling 6f Britain
do honour to the virtue wbicit deserved the success it did
not meet with.

We learn from an authentic source, that his Majesty's
Ministers havirdetermined . to appoint Cornmissioners for
the purpose of promptly effecting the arrangemeut and
taytnent of •British claims on the SpanisbOovernment.--

mediately to. Madrid, and (without at all permitting the
question, whether the Spanish Locos now in existence shall,
