FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 30, 1824.

STOCK Excitasoe, TWELVE o'CLocg.—Consols opened this
morning at 91 to for Account, and 9011 for Money, with
little doing, as the Bank remains shut, and no money trans-
fers can be made.

Up to this Lour we have not heard of any Express having
arrived from Paris, which causes the market to remain very
stea•iy.

FOREMN FCNEI9.—The most doing this morning is in the
Mexican Loan, which is chiefly supported by certain brokers,
bent into the market to buy it up, and keep it from falling. In
Spenisli Bonds there is but little doing. They opened at 2I Y;.
New Spanish, 164—01 d, 24 to 4—Colombian, 652 to 06—
New Aus;rian, 3f—Chili, 774—Russian, S9A—New Prussian,
S 9; to i—Old, 911—French Scrip, 7 to 4--Mexican,
Pc yais,

Charleston and New Brunswick Papers, the former In the
29th of Dec., and the latter to the 17th of Nov. have arrived,
but they de nut contain any news worth extracting.

By the Jamaica Papers to the 20th of November tk hide
have anivvd, it api)ears Olt the Petitions of the people of
colour, and of free condition presented to the Assembly,
had bet n rrad and disen:setl in a Committee of the %thole
Howe. 0:1 th:s occasion, a Mr. ltennalls argued, that
to accede to tlw prayer of the Petition would besubver-
sive of the CoLstitotion, and prejudicial to the interests of
the colony. A ,o.c:cs of ae%olotion, was agree(' to, among
tsas the &Bowing, wl!'.elt appears to be the only
one that proposes to coafer any boon on the peti-

tiorers

~That it be recommended to :he Houle to bring in a Bill
to dispense wit!' the neeesity of free persons producing
eerlifirates of freedom and baptism, and to admit other
proof of their competene:. t., i evidence."
The discussion in the ilanse on 11#:/ alleged breach of
pri wih.ge, rove rise to a disci-mire that some inquiry had
been instituted in the Ants, on the subject of certain
intrignes.on the part of the alleged agents 1 President
n bleb most be deemed a very dery 3 affair, as it
involves a cl,arge air;:iii,t the Chief )t‘iitrate of a
nei!lit..ourinz and inde,..mdent State, ag pt whom no
complaint has hitherto existed. Personk.:lll acquainted
' with 3a.a.tica, deemed this an extremely precipitate and
rash tneienre; but there seeing to be a fatality at the
present moment attentUng every thing consetiod with oar
I Cuhnies.

the prinei:lcs of that enlightened Statesman, as an
opportun'.ty to express or evince their own ; and, from
