GREAT BRITAIN.
On the 18th of January, a sudden decline was
experienced in the Consol Market In conse-
ouence of the reports in circulation relative to
the resignation of Lord Grey, which was posi-
tively stated to have been accepted, according
to some reports, in consequence OF difference
upon the Portuguese Question; and to others,
upon Church Reforms. Up to the 18th, no con-
firmation of any of the rumors had been re-
ceiyed. and a slight advance had taken place
in Consols, which were quoted at SO 1-2 Ia
The market became shade better before the
close of the day The Courier adds, emphatl-
callv.-" that there is not the slightest founda-
ton for the reports of the intended resignation
of Earl Grey"
M.Nur.cruRING INDUsTRY.-The Morning Post
savs-" All the information we have lately re-
ceived from the manufacturing districts, leads
ms TO believe that the operations OF trade Will be
materially impeded by the present position OF
the United States. Almost every letter we have
seen from America contains caution to man
ufacturng and shipping houses, not to send out
goods as there is no money to pay Tor them-
We are glad to find in many instances manu-
facturers are acting upon this caution"
The Alleemeine Zeitung asserts that the En-
glish and French squadrons have been recalled
from the Dardanelles in consequence OF the
clear explanation given by Russia, IN regard to
Turkey.
London paper on the same subject says
The line to be adopted by Great Britain and
France in respect TO Russia and Turkey, being
now generally understood as implying no inter-
ruption to the general peace, the sensation IN
that direction is rapidly declining The British
and French fleets in the Mediterranean, have
been ordered the former 10 Malta-the latter 10

on the 1st of February.
AFFAIRS OF SPAIN
The intelligence from Spain is assuming
new shape, and additional importance. Bar
ceona paper of Jan. 8, says:
eve have just been witnesses OF most remar-
kable events. A Captain-General Lander in
concert with our municipality (Ay"ntam'e7n-
toy has sent an embassy to the Queen to init
mate 10 her the wishes of the province, and the
resolutions which they had just adopted. The
following are the conditions:
|. That the Spanards receive Representa-
tive Government, with the liberties connected
with il.
2. The suppression of the abbeys and all the
monkish rabble (ydemas fraylesca cacalla)
g. The liberty of the press.
a. The reform Of the clergy.
5. The distribution of its property among the
people.
g. The suppression of the tithes and other
;mnosts injurious to farmers and land owners.
The above was forwarded to the Queen, at
ter having received the sanction L!ander's col
leagues. among them Quesado and Morillo.
The Memorial Bordelais of the 18th January,
saws that Lander has $4,000 men at his COM
mand, in whose name he makes his demands
The address he forwarded to the Queen had
near $4,000 signatures. The people in Catalo-
mia have resin en- msasse, in support OF Llander's
demand of constitution The Queen IS SAID to
have returned Llander's address, without giving
anv satisfaction as to the course she would pur-
sue.
II was asserted on the Paris Exchange, on the
18th January. that the Queen, yielding to the ne
cessity of the circumstances in which she was
placed-had changed her ministers, and con
scented to the convocation OF the Cortes Inc
MARQUIS de las Amarillo. Whether this is true
or false the news produced an Improvement of
the Spanish funds. The London Courier OF
January Is, however, evidently questions the
truth of the rumor. We quote the following:
The French papers speak of the change in
the Spanish Ministry, which we yesterday men
toned as one of the rumOrs of the Stock Elk
change. Some Of the papers, however, trace 1t
M to the messenger which had arrived at the
English Ambassadors. More than one of them
sneak of this series of events-the demands of
LANDER. and the other Captains General, COM
bined with the number of persons who have ia
ken an interest in the proceedings in Catalonia
AS a true revolution in Spain. We observe
that General Don Jose Valdez, with other Con-
stitutionalists have returned to SPAN rom Far
;S Nina will nrobably also now find his way
back. The other news from Spain IS OF trlhng
importance.
Advices from Lisbon are To the 18TH OF Janu-
ary. The differences between the Government
and the Duke of Terceira were settled. Inc
Army of Don Miguel had suffered considerably
from sickness No movement had taken place
