THURSDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 23, 1823.

STOCK EICRANGE, 12 o'CLocrt.— Consols opened this morn-1
ng nt tint for the Account, but owing to the want of Weill-
gence from Paris up to this hour, the market appears heavy.
and Consols are sellers at ft 3 for money, with little doing. A
report prevails that a ship of the line, and three frigates have
been ordered to sail fray Portsmouth in great haste, and their
'destination is not known. 13y some it is supposed their destina-
tion is South America. Another report also prey:tile that
owing to the intrigues of the Russian Cabinet in the affairs of
Spain, a fleet is to be fitted out. It was stated early this morn-
ing, that the French Rentes had come to 90, 2.i, but we could
not trace the report to any authentic source.

FOREIGN Ft:NOS.—Scarcely any business doing ln the above
market, except in Columbian end Spanish ponds. The Go-
vernment having appointed Consols to South America, has
given great satisfaction to our merchants.

German papershave reached us this morning, to the 19th

VIUNNA, September 11.—(Prom the Court Gazette.)—
Oo the Sth of the month the P.ipil Nuncio Count Leardi,
had the honour to present to his Majesty, in a private au-
dience, the customary letter °like Sacred College. for the
notification of the death of his Holiness Pope Pius VII.—
His M sjesty, profoundly afflicted at the loss of a head of
the Church, distinguished for his virtues, wisdom, mild-
ness, and heroic firmness, had not waited for this formal
notification, to give the necessary orders for performing
in all the metropolitan churches of the empire, the solemn
funeral service usual on such occasions, and at the same
time the reading of public prayers for the happy issue
of the approaching conclave. On the same day
the Commander,. . Nacarro d'Andratle, who was formerly
mbastador Extraordinary, and Minister Plenipotentiary,
from the King of Portugal, to this Court, who was recalled
after the restoration, which took place in Portugal, but
is now reappointed to the same post, had the honour to
deliver to His Majesty, his new credentials.
VtexNs, SEPT. 11.—The departure of the Emperor is
fixed for the ISth. His Highness Prince Metternich, with
a few attendants, sets ont far Czernowitz on the 15th. It
is thought that His 514 j .sty will be here again by the 24-th
October. The last letters from Bucharest, which are of the
31 s t of August, say that the Turks were preparing to cele-
brate, with many solemnities, the great victories which
they say they have gained in the Mores. The next letters
from Constantinople will probably inform us what we are
to believe of this story. Iler Majesty, the Duchess of
Parma, passed through Salzburg on the 4th, returning to
her dominions through Tyrol.

HANOVER, SEPT: S.—Councillor Falke, who was MUD-
ber for Hanover of the central Committee of Enquiry at
3layence, has returned here, and it is said will not return
to Mayence. His Majesty's Secretary, Mr. Cruse, remains
at 3layence for the present.

SWITZERLAND, SEPT. 12.—The great council of the
Canton of Tessin, in its last extraordinary session, accepted
an eventual capitulation with the Kingdom of Naples,
which has been very lately concerted between the Depu-
ties of the Canton, and a Neapolitan Commiisioner.

Riego has begun to emulate the activity of Milano.
is true, that the French already boast of baring put Mtn
"completely to the rout;" but they have so often routed 1
Milan' and dina, without being able to terminate the
' contest, that we do not think any thing unfavourable
can be drawn from their statement. After leaving
Malaga. Riego made a movement upon the cantonments
of the corps of Ballasteros; and it is admitted that 'tame"
of the soldiers of that army went over to him. Bellasteros
himself is represented as having been made prisoner ,by
