FRIDAY EVENING, JANI:ART 12, 1821.

STOCK EXCHANGE,ONE O'CLOCK.

The Funds have not rallied this morning. Consols
for the Account opened at 70i, and have continued
so during the morning. Money is plentiful, but there
is little busimess doing, to create any very great tluc-
tuation• As the Account-day draws near, which is this
day week, we may expect a change.

The political contents of our columns to.day present
a tolerably fair epitome of the general state of Europe,
as well as of the condition of public affairs in England.
In every part where courtly influence can operate, not
only abroad but at home, it appears directed to re-
sthin the progress of civil liberty and personal inde-
per.deuse, and snake the majority of mankind subser-
vient to the aggrandisement of the few. While in
the Nidnifesto of the new Portuguese Government to the
people of Europe, are exhibited the leading causes
which brought about and justified the Revolution in
tlivt quarter of the Penin%isla, there appears in that
article of The Atererian Observer, to which we yes-
t•rdav referred, a determination on the part of the
Allied Sovereigns, to oppose " their united strength
against the new state of things at Naples," in
like manner as they would, if they could, against
the revival of freedom in Portugal and Spain. Pro-
ceeding to those affairs among ourselves, which
some home to every man's husisie-A and bosom, while
we find the Common Connell of the City of London
no.snfoolly asserting the violated rights of Engli•lssuess,_
and deuranding an inquiry into the conduct of those
persons by wheat proceedings have been carried on,
" which have been wade to derogate from the dignity
of the Crown, and to inflict an irreparable injury on
the hest interests of the country," we see a meeting of
ItAnliers and Merchants cot tngether in a hurry to
countenance those proeeedings which have shaken our
pnlitieal fabric to its basin, and to calumniate the mo-
tives and the measures that would arrest its impending
fall !

This rantaiwg we received a briet ascowat, which
will be found in ['ruttier of our columns, of a meeting
livid at Liverpool on IVeduesday, for the purpose of
a.ldressing the King on the exigencies of the times,
and the misconduct of Ministers. We expect to he
e!,:ildell to• present a complete detail of the proceed-
ings, tvith remarks and other particulars tu-morrow.

The Right llonottralok C. B. Bathurst, it appears,
La. entered upon office as Pre,ident of the Board of
Controul. Whether he k ako to retain his sinecure
urChancellor of the Ducky of Lancaster, we know
not ; but the two salaried Comonisssoners, dependents
on Mr. Canning, continue to act under Mr. Bathurst.
The Chairman and Devilry Chairman of the India
Company yesterday paid their I ersonal congratulations
to the Right Hon. Gentleman on his appointment.

!tdrices from Naples t.► the 23d ult. were received
yesterday. Letters had arrived there from Cerma,
announcing that the orders transmitted to the mer-
chants of that city for the purchase of large supplies
of corn fur the consumption of the Austrian army in
Italy, had been suddenly suspended, and instructions
given to dispose of all that had been bought. The
I)uhe of Rail° set out for Florence on the 20th, to join
the King of Naplei. Reports were current that the
Congress would be transferred to that place, and that
the Pope would assist at it.
Letters from Lisbon of the 29th ult. state that the
election of deputies to the tortes terminated through-
out the kingdom on the 2-Ith, and that nearly all have
Leen on the popular side to the exclusion of the
nubility. The day fur pssembling the tortes had been
postponed to the 10th of January.
Owing to the heavy gales from the N. E. and the
severe weather, only 18 vessels from foreign ports, from
the Ist to the 10th inst. both inclusive, have been en-
tered at the Custom-house. At Liverpool only two
arrivals took place from the Ist to the 9th ; and at
Bristol there has not been a single foreign arrival
since the 23(1 ult.
Treetu•trro (aches of Carishrook, in the Isle of
Wight, have published a declaration full of loyalty
and liberality. They have resolved to admit no lady
into thei► society whose polities and whose doctrines
do not accord with their own. They were jealous of
the popularity of those of their countrywomen who
have expressed their sentiments to the Queen, and
therefore as a set-oil, and a little more substantial set-
off too—thee are determined to deserve well of the
party in power, and, as it would not be decent for
them, personally, to receive thejarorre of men, they
hope their husbands, sons, and other male relations
may not pass unrewarded.
There was another change of performance at the
West London Theatre on Monday night. The recep-
tion of the new barletta, called ify /11/i sad Free-
kW, marks strongly the indefatigable exertions of
the manager. This succession of novelty is likely to
please the gentry at that end of the town. The de-
corstious and comfort of this elegant little theatre,
seder the present proprietor, Mr. Amherst, deserves
t 5 obtain theism liberal patronage et the pablie.
