copragement of the Turks is extreme.
Letters have been received this
morning from Barcelona, dated Nov.
, Their contents are important. All
:. efforts to raise a Royalist army
.,.e failed, although bounty equal
10 ls pounds has been offered for each
recruit, and the city is filled with refu-
Gees who had taken the alarm at the
threat of evacuating Spain. 1t was
fully expected that Ferdinand would

that more liberal system would be
introduced. 1t was also expected that
there would be speedy change in the
Ministry. In many parts Of Biscay
and Catalonia, distinguished Constitu-

LONDON, Oct. l6.
Cir, hall past one o'eloek-There was
great hustle in the foreign market this
norning, upon the arrival of three ex-
prsses from Liverpool, bringing &C
counts from Jamaica of some success
ses by Bolivar in Peru on the 9th Of
August. In a few minutes Mexican
bonds, which closed yesterday at 643,
rose to 81, at which price they re
manned firm for considerable time
Towards one O'Clock, however, when
it was found that the account OF the
affair between Bolivar and Canteract
had not been so decisive as was re-
ported, the price fell to 66a.
The hustle in the market has given
rise to the exercise Of much ingenuity
for the amusement of the jobbers. A
well executed caricature of bear rails
ing Iturbide from his grave with a
wand, and with scroll, "Rise
good Iturbide, or ! am lost" was post
ed on the wall, and also the following
rule of three proportion:-"f killing
200 Spanish soldiers viii produce rise
of9a percent. what will killing $4,000
produce?-Answer, 2s5 per cent"
In our own Market there has been
much business. Consols opened at
s5a rs, and rose to 90 l-S; they are
now IS 7-S 90 for this Account, and
s65 So for the next, which with the di-
vidend off would leave them at the set
Ting day, on the 18th Of January, at
s4a rs. The improvement here is at
tributed to the letters from Paris, in
which il is stated that large sum is
about to be invested in the funds there

NORTHWEST IxPEDITioy.
Portsmouth,, Nou. lo.-This morning
arrived, and ran into harbor direct from
sea, His Majesty's gun brig Griper,
capt. Lyon, one Of the ships employed
on the Northwest Expedition, having
been obliged to abandon the object fol
the present season, from having lost all
her anchors and cables, and discovered
that she is unfit for the service, being to.
tally unequal to beat off lee shore
The Griper was obliged to leave Re-
pulse Bay six weeks since, and after
cropping her way out Of 900 miles Of
the most difficult navigation that can be
imagined, in the worst Of weather, she
met with westerly gale of wind, which
drove her considerable way into Da-
Wis Straits. Fortunately change OF
wind with more moderate weather sue.
.ceeded, when, from the bad state Of the
vessel and the losses she had expert
enced, there appeared no alternative
but making southerly voyage home
She came in sight this morning at a
bout IL A. M. with the signal flying
"Lost all the anchors and cables" and
continued to stand in for the harbor
which she fortunately entered, and rar
into smooth water, where she brought
I'D with her disabled stream anchor.
The news the Griper brings OF capt
parry's part Of the expedition is favor
able as far as it goes; that experienced
officer had reached lat. II, all well, and
with the most favorable weather for hi:
farther progress. TWAS the design Of
capt. Parry to endeavor to communi'
cate with Lyon by means Of the Prince
Regents Inlet, and his conjecture with
respect to the natural facilities and the
pacticability Of doing so appear to be
we'll founded. Captain Lyon has had
opportunity Of correcting many mis-
t1Ses with regard to the navigation Of
Repulse Bay and Sir Thomas Rowe's
