STOCK EXCHANGE. TEN O'CLOCK.
Consols opened this morning 77$ sellers, bat sone
after there were buyers at that price. The cause of
the French Fends rising, is owing to the Bank of
Paris taking i■ the F►ench Loan. By letters re-
ceived from Holland this morning, we understand
(that all Foreign Fonds are higher.

We received, this looming, Quebec papers to the

Captain Toupin, of the schooner Annabella, has
arrived from below. This schooner is totally lost ;
saw the 'pasts of a brig out of water, a little below
Isles Magielslas, on the south shore,—and another
schooner deserted, which be heard bad been hound to

that both the Ultras and the Liberals exalt os its re-

scarcely be so galling as the late surveillance. Prince

attempt to rival England is bailed in Germany as a
matter of mach commercial and political importance.
Private letters are said to have been received from
Paris of Tassday last with the price of the French
Fends. This is variously stated. According to oar
account the relates closed that day at 89f. 40r. ; another
states they had reached so high as 89f. 75c. and a
third report gives the closing price at 891. 70c.

In another column we bare inserted extracts from
the Irish papers arrived to-day. The recent sews is,
on the whole. less distressing tban what we bare of
late been accustomed to receive. There have, how-
ever, bees many instances of mange, besides those
quoted ; but as these bate been of the usual character,
for the purpose of collecting arms, we have abstained
from occupying oar columns with the details. Thou
chiefly occurred in the county of Kilkaany ; but other
outrages and threatening notices have also appeared
in the county of Dublin. In the county of Kerry a
party of the %Vhiteboys, to the moons( of two hundred

of a pri►ate Gentle=an, when their loader was killed,
and two of the party were made prisoners.

we confess, is a melancholy prospect ; for the Hon.e
consented to his Lordship's propositions. Yet, we do
Dot despair; fur the Commons have to take into con-

haps they may not then think that new coercion. are
the remedy most fit for their unhappy ease. Thb
alone it is on which we rely for the country's re-
demption from the rain which threatens it. If the
gentry of England, when their own sores Lome to be
probed, can endure the rough hand of Lord LONDON-
Damn-, and not rise as cue man to resist his unre-
lenting quackery, England will be gradually reduced
se the prestos state of Ireland, and thence to a state
of as great slavery as ever cursed any ancient or any
modern people. Lord LONDONDERRY, as if aware that
mate's minds might perceive the full extent of the
et ermity of his policy, soot►ingly said (speaking of
the Habeas Corpus Art) " he was least disposed
to adopt that which would deny to any of Ms
Majesty's , subjects the advantages of that Act."
We plainly say, we do not believe his Leo&
ship. This is harsh langeage, best it grows ea
of his Lordship's long course of conduct. Is
his tenderness fur Ireland become, on a sodden, so
evident, that a single protestation of his shall make
us believe in it ? Ireland owes the
visit that unhappy country, to his Lordship's ignor.
ante, or to some qnslity of his mind worse than
ignorance. England has also owed to hint the share
s►e has bad (at times) of like ezeesses--and we
shall see still more of the same, is both countries,
if he continnes to govern both, as he does at pre-
sent. His Lordship said, in Isis memorable speech
of lass night—" 'I hese excesses were dictated by
an invisible, unknown power." We cannot accede
to the assertion. The power which has caused these
egresses, is known to the whole world, and is not so
far from his Lordship's own knowledge as he wouli
insinuate. His Lordship's policy is no secret in Eu-
rope; and, i■ Entlan I, we are not blind, however
patient we may he. Lord LONDONDMIXT, however
emitioas, mould not help, in this very debate, betraying
Ale hidings which dictate the policy of his Borers-
beat. both of England and Ireland. Speaking
the outrages of tits latter country, be says—
'e They were not characterised by those re►ile
priociples which pervaded all other part
of the world !" Here we see betrayed the obi&
'epee of Lord Lottoormenny's mind, and also. thc
erkple mipd of the HOLY ALLIANCI. All Europe
(says his Lordship and the Alliance) is Infected with
a desire for Reform. We must dragoon all the loathes
of Europe out of this spirit; and that we may nor
want an excuse for our &griming, we mast inveith

to one " part of the world," infected with the disease
of which he complained. The partly a:owed,
and partly secret association among despots, to put
down liberty throughout Europe (or as his Lordship
calls it " all the world") was the issoceat caw.

will, it is to be hoped, grow into mere and greater
jealousy. Lord LONDONDCRIT said—" He hoped he
