STOCK EXCIIANGZ, 12 o'CLocu.—Consols opened this
morning at 824, and went up to if, at which price they re-
main, with scarcely any businesidoing..Few of the Hebrews
have attended the above market this morning, owing to its
being with them a strict holiday.

Although it is reported,. that the French Itentes hate
come lower from Paris, we do not hear to any certainty
that an Express has arrived, consequently, it may be
doubted, whether the expected attack on Cadiz
had taken place on *the 2Sth, as it is nitoi days since that
period, and the result might hare been knows in seven days
at Paris. Persons wbo pretend to be well informed state,
that nothing would be done until the arrival of Mr. Ward
at Cadiz. Mr. Ward is the bearer of important despatches
k from this country.

A report prevails that the French have been defeated in
an attempt on the Trocadero, and that this has ocoasioned
the fall of their fonds, which rumour state' at 9'? 30.

We have this morning received Frankfort...papers of the I
30th ult. and the ILlgemcitee Zeitting, of the 27th. I eons.
these we liaro that his Prussian Majesty is .following the
steps of his Imperial brother of Russia,- in making prepri-,
rations for the grand autumn reviews ; but, with due regard
tothe inferioescale of his dominions, the number of troops-
that will be assembled at Berlin will amount to only one
half of what will he collected .under the orders of the
Grand Duke Con stanti ne,—about NOM men. Ftwa Frank.
fort we hear nothing hnt of specalatioos and speculators in
the Funds. The news of the liberation of King Ferdinand,
which was spread there by mercantile minders. from Stras-
. burg, before the arrival of the French Generals, had hut a
slight influence oil the price of Funds, end hence no effect
was produred by the non-confirmation of the intelfigence.Va-
duos accounts ere circulated oft lie profit which Rothschild
is said to have made by the late French Loan. Some make
it amount to twelve millions of francs, and others reduce it
4o four millions. On this, as on formeeoecasions, the house
is said to have given its numerous clerks a liberal acknow-:
ledgement of their zeal in its
.serviee. The snot divided
among them as a tlouceur, is stated at 11.111,000 francs of
which those in the rsrahliainwnt in Phsnkfort, are
stated to have received 49.0:!0. We may form some idea
of the extensive and impott sni business of this house, when
we learn that it has three tight vessels that constantly sail
backwards and forwards between Calais and Dover, in order
to convey to the houses in Paris and tondos, reciprocally,
the earliest informathin of all interesting events in those
two Cities, affecting the price of the fowls. In ISB this
House •reecieed information of the successful issue of the
bathe of Wateelol, (which' it was reported hid been lost,)
six hopes before the lioverninent ,received the official de-
spatches fronilthe field of.haerle. A traveller who has ar-
-1 rived at Frankfort fiord IttieLind direct, states that when
1 he lauded at Calais, there wai in. the lorbour a vessel ready
to sail fur England, the whole cargo tof which consisted
of gold and was consigned to M. Nathan V. Rothschild,
in London. It is said, that theta is now very little gold•in
circolati in in France, the coin having been 'exported
both in this manlier ind by remittances to Spain..-r---
Though some circumstances have arisen to delay the
final conclusion of a ccincoidat, between the See of Rome
and the Protestant Governments of Germany, interested in
the establishment of the Catholic Archbishoprics of the
Upper Rhine, those Governments hare not lost sight of
this object ; and it is understood, that the conferences will
soon be renewed at Frankfort. •

The postponement of the attack on the tile de Live,
accounts for the fluctuation of the French Funds, accord.
ing to the opinions that prevail as to the motive roi the ae-
lay ; for nobody gives any credit to the humanity of the

`Duke d'Appouleme, as the cause of any hesitation. The
enterprise is a most hasardons one. It cannot be disguised
that the risk is ttetnendous. The French force is but barely'
Sufficient to maintain a blockade. If an attack be made, it
must be made, to escape ridicule, in such a manner as to
render a repulse attended with the loss of perhaps one
fourth of the attacking force:—and such a repulse %valid
tender it impossible to maintain the blockade, without
great reinforcements; and even then,the time that must elapse
beforethe reinforcements could arrive,would afford the Con
stitutionalists in the rear of the French army an opportunity
to harrass ji,tein most formidably. If Ballasteros were to re
sume,or rather to Commence offensive operations, after a riz
-pulsed attack uponCadia,we might hope to bear of a convene•
lion to permit thePrench force to return to thePyrenneel.The
New • Tiines, with a perversion of reason that is truly ridi-
silos* fears there will be " some bloodshed" before Cadiz
sued* beCtutte,." no individual has influence enough with.
