LONDON, MOND.4I; JUNE 18. Twa great fame and prestige of Louis NATO MIN need not surpriae any one who observes how diligently even his enemies labour to exalt it. His servants and followers can find, even with the utmost care, comparatively few occasions for their praise ; but the fears of his adversaries, magnifying all that he does, and supplying all that he might do, to influence the course of the world, abundantly make up the deficiency. If the breast of the French Earmunt is open to flattery, he must be peculiarly gratified at the un willing tribute paid him in the superstitious dread of • considerable class of our countrymen. Unworthy of Englishmen as is this morbid sensi tiveness to every breath of wind that blows from France, it might be unwise to check it if it sub served any useful purpose, if it helped us better to understand the policy and measures of a go vernment to the influence of which in Europe we can never be indifferent. But it has • directly contrary tendency. Lot-is NAPOLEON has been to Baden, and has there met the Prince of PRI:MIA, four Kings, and several lesser Sovereign Princes of Germany. If any friend of the Emricaoa were required to describe all the circumstances of that meeting, he would think himself fortunate if he could explain them so as not to wound the amour-propre of France. But the theme is taken up by an inveterate opponent of the Eifecacia, and straightway his Istrsai•r. Ms- Jerry is set on a pedestal and exalted as an idol before whom all Germany is bowing down. M. GCRILILONIBRZ could not have performed this ser vice for his master ; only an English journalist could do the work. The EMP2IOI, it is notorious, condescended to invite himself to this party. He carried complaisance so far, that to have refused to receive him would have been downright inci vility. He was willing to travel above three hundred miles, and to crone his own frontier. Certainly this is rather the facility of • bagman looking out for business than the state of a suaerain receiving homage. The sudden journey of the King of lisnovia to Berlin, and the explanations which the Prussian Ambassador at Vienna ham had to give to the Foreign Minister of Austria, show, among a crowd of other facts, the thoughts which the impending meeting of the Panics RIGINT and the E!dFZIPAIL awakened at the Courts of Ger many. The King of HANOVaIt must have re flected with some misgivings on the part not only inimical but insulting to Prussia, which his plenipotentiary had been playing at Frankfort for the last twelve months, from the date of the dis cussions about the direction of the military forces of Germany during the war in Italy down to the debates on the Hessian constitution. Throughout the whole of that period the Government of his MAJMITY betrayed a jealousy of Prus sia as paltry as it was intense. The readiness, let us hope the thankfulness, of the King of HANOTRI to accept the generous invitation of the REGENT to meet him at Baden is sufficiently explained. But although the position of Hanover marks it out as the territory which in any reconstitution of Germany should contribute to that aggrandisement of the Prussian monarchy which is desirable in the interests of liberty and peace, there is no German State which has not • legitimate interest in the relations which Prussia may form with 771111014 By encouraging the Princes of Germany to be present at this ■aseting with the En pzion, the Parses Rasa has taken the moat effectual means of calming the apprehensions of his neighbours, and at the same time gained an opportunity of appearing as the central figure in • rase sad illustrious German assembly. How it can serve the cause of Austria to proclaim in Lon de* that she is delighted at this spectacle, we are at a loss to imagine. At Vienna, as onr own columns have shown, they hold very different language. iierinany does not just now offer a very inviting field for a potentate speculating on the cupidity of his neighbours. There is not there, as in Italy, • foreign enemy strongly entrenched, and not to be expelled withoutextenial aid. The active elements, Of rather the elements which an appeal strong enough to rouse Germany would call into activity, are, first, nationality, and next, liberalism, and both of these, so far as they have been at all manifested, are against France. Moreover, easy as it might be for Loris NAM/LION to tempt one Gerneux Potentate to acquiesce in his plans by offering him the spoils of another, it would be diffi cult to make things pleasant, when, as at Baden, he had to do with all. If it is really ?lamasery to account for the meeting which has just taken place by the state and prospects of Europe—if the weakness of Lieu NA 'O LSON, so often exemplified in seeking unne cessary interviews with legitimate hereditary sovereigns, and a natural and right desire on his part to allay the feeling which recent debates in the Prussian and other German Parliaments have dis closed, are thought not to explain it adequately—. we should be prompted to look outside Germany for the mums which make the Emma°, desire to guard against a second outbreak of anti- Gallican sentiment on the eastern frontier of Prance while he is making war. But when those THE reasons cannot be pointed out to the pablic eye it i not the office of the journalist to exorcise inrentia in the cultivation of distrust. Tax state of the weather and of the crops has during the last week engaged the attention of the commercial and financial, almost as much as of the agricultural classes. The rise in the corn markets has not yet proceeded so far as to indicate that real apprehension prevails in the quarters best qualified to form a judgment. Any gloomy im pressions which are at present entertained, being based upon that most shifting of all conditions, the state of the weather, may soon be dispelled. Nevertheless, it would be foolish not to acknow ledge that our prospects are becoming serious. A season so backward as the present one has not been known for many years. We are now in the middle of June, and the temperature resembles that ordinarily experienced in March and April. Vegetation makes very little progress. Any stimulus that is given to it during the day is checked by the coldness of the nights. The prevalence of heavy cold rains has thrown all agricultural operations very much back. It would appear from inquiries rather extensively prosecuted that the breadth of wheat sown this season is considerably below the average ; and as regards the condition and pro mise of what has been sown the reports are deci dedly unsatisfactory. A favourable feature is involved in the fact that the stocks of grain exist ing in the United Kingdom are above the average, but too much importance must not be attached to this. A consideration of perhaps equal weight on the adverse side is the exhaustion of the stocks of fodder throughout the country. The effect is seen in the present prim of butcher's meat, which might be termed really exorbitant, were it not produced by the action of natural laws to which we must all defer. There was a foolish open-air demonstration at Bristol on last Wednesday evening, whereat resolutions were gravely passed pledging those present to abstain "as much aa possible " from buying butcher's meat until prices are lower, censuring the butchers, and petitioning Parliament for an act by which the killing of lambs or calves for sale shall be prohibited until they attain the age of eight months. The fact that between 5,000 and 6,000 persons are stated to have taken part in this stupid demonstration shows how slowly cor rect economical principles permeate the community. The majority of the community, whose individual means are limited, are already, without ventilat- ing their grievance publicly, searching about for economical 'substitutes for butcher's ' meat ; and the price of the latter would have risen much higher, but for this en forced abstention, and consequent decrease in the daily demand. Judging from the present appearance of the country, some persona do not hesitate to express an opinion that the wheat harvest in the United Kingdom will be three weeks or a month later than usual, and deficient in quantity. Of the probable extent of the deficiency it would be pre mature to speak. The accounts from many part of France, where the season is always much more forward than here, are of a still more discouraging character. Anxious inquiries into the condition of the crops in Great Britain have come from the other aide of the Channel ; and the replies will certainly not tend to allay the uneasiness felt there. At Paris on Saturday there was a con tinuance of cold rain. It cannot excite surprise if these considerations are weighing upon the funds, both in England and France, exciting the watchfulness of the monetary world, and inducing caution in every department of business. A deficient harvest in either country —much more so in both—would instantly disturb the money market and embarrass trade. It is true that France could sustain a considerable drain for pur chases of grain in other countries, the stock of gold in the National Bank being extremely large ; but the very fact of the accumulation of so large • mass of treasure attests the stagnant condition of French trade ; and we may be sure that if enter prise has refused to revive under the stimulus of an abundance of unemployed capital, its depression would be aggravated considerably by the introduc tion of a new cause of disquietude. The amount of bullion in the Bank of England (16,194,5691.), though quite adequate to all our immediate re quirements, is not so large as it has been ; and it is manifest from the general position of the money market that a drain of gold outwards would be im mediately followed by a considerable rise in the value of money here. Considering these unfavourable contingencies— the operation of which, however, even if they be not modified by more propitious circumstances, applies rather to the future than to the present— the condition of our internal trade continues good, but the tendency is less satisfactory than of late. The amount of business going forward in the seats of the cotton manufacture is very large, and the operatives are fully employed ; but the Manchester market, in which the produce of all this industry is disposed of, is still characterised by depression. Some of the local reporters think they can discern signs of • revival in the demand for goods for ex portation to the Kest, but any alteration is of a very partial character, and prices in many instances are quoted slightly lower than in the previous week. It must not be overlooked, however, that the decline which is still taking place in the price of cotton will enable manufac turers to consent to a reduction in prices, and yet to get • fair profit. The concessions already made by them appear to meet the views of buyers for some of the minor markets, such as those in the Levant, and business in that direction has accord• y increased. At Liverpool during the last week • fresh re duction of id. to id. per lb. has taken plate in the price of cotton, and holders are still pressing sales. The computed stock is no less than 1,334,610 bales. Another very large crop is looked for in the United States. The accounts from several of the woollen dis tricts, including Leeds and Huddersfield, report rather more activity. In some quarters we are told that the high price of wool has brought a portion of the machinery to a stop, and in others that the demand for manufactured goods is below the production, causing an addition to the stocks; but this condition of affairs appears to be exceptional, and the general state of the woollen trade is described as healthy. In the local markets the price of wool has still an upward tendency, owing to the prospect of a late and limited supply from the new "clip." From Rochdale—• seat of the amulet trade—we hoer of the tint local purchase of the new " clip "of wool being effected by a manufacturing firm at the unusually high price of Is. 7d. per pound. In the hosiery districts of Leicester and Not tingham trade is very dull, and in the latter a number°f the workpeople are out of employment. In some branches, including the lace trade, the prospects of business have been greatly interfered with by the long-continued cold and wet weather, which, of course, restricts the choice of garments. iiMIIP EXPRESS. MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 18 , FrOM the twit districts the scooimts are satisfactory. Both at Berminghamrd Wolver: l hampton, the influx el orders bas lecreesed, sod business generally, though not active, is Oonaldered healthier. From the latter town it is stated that most of the large employers are able to keep their men on "at as much time as they usually " make at this season ;" and it is owned that " there will not remain much cause for complaint " if the moderate trade which is now going on "can be sustained." The orders received, how ever, are prinzipally for the home trade, the de mand for the United States and other foreign markets being slack. From Paisley there are some complaints of the failure of the spring trade, caused by the weather. The linen trade at Belfast and Dundee is steady. The Irish flax-growers appear to be obtaining very good prices, and to be so independent as to be oc casionally indifferent to selling. The Belfast spinners have accordingly been rather glad of the opportune arrival of a considerable quantity from Rigs. The Scotch export iron trade shows signs of improvement. LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

The Emperor after his arrival yesterday dined with his suite. At about 5.30 p.m. the Prince Regent, who yesterday paid the first visit to the German Sovereigns, sent Lieutenant von Loen to present his compliments to the Emperor. It was the Emperor's intention to have visited the Prince Regent first. The Prince Regent, however, came at 8.30 p.m. to the Villa Stephanie, and remained with the Emperor till 9.15 p.m. The Emperor then intended to surprise the Grand Duchess Hamilton, daughter of the Grand Duchess Stephanie, but did not find her at home. He thereupon took tea with the Grand Duke of Baden, the sovereigns of Weimar and Coburg, who reside in the Duke's palace, only being present. To-day a grand dijetner, attended by all the Sove reigns, took place in the old palace. This morning the weather was very fine. The Emperor, the Prince Regent, and the other Sove reigns breakfasted at the Grand Duke's palace. To morrow they will dine at the Grand Duke's chateau, a little distance out of Baden. Yesterday, at a con cert in the Kursaal, the public opinion was that the congress of the Sovereigns would strengthen peace. This morning at nine o'clock the Emperor, while taking a promenade on foot, was surrounded by great numbers of persons. It is reported that the Duke of Nassau has arrived, and that the Emperor of Austria is expected. This evening there will be a meeting of the Princes at the palace, which will be illuminated. The Kings of Saxony, Bavaria, and Hanover again visited the Emperor. At five o'clock p.m. they will all dine at the Grand Duke's palace.

The Prussian Gazette of the 16th inst. publishes the following article : This day the Emperor Napoleon arrives at Baden-Baden to greet the Prince Regent on German soil. It was the desire of the Emperor, expressed in the most obliging terms, to give to the Prince Regent this proof of his peaceful and friendly sentiments. Prussia ham reason to rejoice at these advance', sod to appreciate without prejudice their iDCOO. testable importance. Prussia has no cause to wish to trace new objects for her policy ; that policy has always been frank, upright, conciliatory, and tending to preserve the peace of Europe on its tried foundations : it will maintain that character. But the difficulties of the times have aroused anxieties which Europe will be glad to see dispelled by the friendly exchange of ideas between two powerful sovereigns, whose attitude always exercises en important and often a decisive hansom on the destinies of Europe. Germany will be satisfied if the Emperor of the French strengthens the con viction of the Prince Regent that the policy of France is pacific as well as rigorous ; and France will see a precious pledge for the continuation of his friendly relations with us in the fact that the Emperor Napoleon will hear from the Prince Regent's own mouth the sentiments and intentions of that straightforward and moderate policy which is the invariable rule of the ►cts of has government. Simultaneously with this meeting, which attracts the general interests of Europe, another event of a most auspicious nature occupies the German nation ; It is the Congress of eminent Princes of the German Con federation. It had long been the ardent wish of all sincere patriots that after so many differences which have recently agitated the internal existence of the Germanic dates, a personal interview of the sovereigns of Germany should re vive and strengthen the sentiment of concord. The world will be enabled to convince itself that, among the German states, there may exist differences of opinion on this or that important question of home policy, but that those diffe rences will always fade aw►y before the powerful union which links these states together on all questions of national independence and greatness. Never will the &mord of factions be able to weaken the bonds which, under all circumstances, connect the North and South by indissoluble links. We therefore dare to express the hope that the Confe rence at Baden will revive the confidence in a prosperous and assured future for Europe, and, at the same time, con solidate one of the most powerful mainstays of that future, the union of Germany. FRANCE. MARSEILLES, Julia 17. The brother of the Emperor of Moroooo, with the Moorish Ambassador and a suite of fifteen persons, have disembarked here. They were received with military honours. They will leave for Paris on Tuesday or Wednes day. THE REVOLUTION IN SICILY. TURIN. JIM 17. M. Thouvenel and the Marquis d'Antonini were mamt at the interview of the Commander de Martino with the Emperor Napoleon. It is stated that the Emperor, in reply to M. de Martino, said :—" Six weeks ago I could have accepted, and should have been happy to accept, the rdie of a mediator, but posterior engagements prevent my doing so now." - - - Juitz 1& Advioes from Rome state that an official despatch bad been received from Naples giving details of the capture of the two Manners with Garibaldians by the Neapolitan frigate Fulminante. These Mamma which displayed the Sardinian and American flags, had on board 25,000 muskets, 32 cannons, 2,000,000 pounds of powder, and a considerable sum of money. 800 armed passengers were made prisoners, and were, together with the steamers, conveyed to Gaeta on the 12th inst. General Lamoriciere had despatched troops to the Neapolitan frontier. A letter from Naples, of the 12th inst., mentions under great reserve a rumour that 2,000 Geribal diens, supposed to be commanded by Colonel Medici, had landed at Catanraro, in Calabria. It was also rumoured that an insurrection had commenced in Calabria, and that the Neapolitan , 1860. government had not Gamma Nunziante there as alter eo. Oth g er letters from Naples say that Gen. Planelli, the commander of the army in the Abruzzi, had been summoned to act in Calabria. The french government having declined any in tervention, a council of the Royal family assembled on the 12th inst. to deliberate. A political demonstration was expected on the 13th. --- Great anxiety prevailed among all classes. Eight French and two English men-of-war were in the Bay of Naples. Letters from Palermo to the Bth instant estimate the forces of Garibaldi at 4,000 men. Seven individuals found plundering had been shot by order of Garibaldi. The order of the evacuation had greatly discou raged the royal troops. Garibaldi had opened a national subscription on behalf of the war. The Archbishop and all the noble families in Sicily had subscribed. SARDINIA AND THE PAPAL STATES. MARSEILLES, Joss 16.

A letter from Baden-Baden records the interest ing historical fact that the interview between the Emperor Napoleon and the Prince Regent of Prussia (without witnesses) lasted exactly forty-five minutes. It is said that the Prinoe Regent, on coming away, " looked pleased ;" and this is about the sum of the intelligence which we are permitted to know. The Opinion Nationale says, "the inter view of Baden is either a simple measure of peace and conciliation, or a mystery of high political im port, the secret of which has not yet transpired." This appreciation evidently leaves a wide field for choice. The Pays, however, gives it to be under stood that the visit is at all events not made, as the French guy, pour dea prunes, and that it is big with important results. " Unless we are much mistaken," says this government organ, " and, if we may believe the presentiments awakened in our soul by this grand event of the meeting at Baden-Baden, the Emperor has once more gained a great victory, which will not have cost a drop of blood, and will, neverthe less, exercise a great influence upon the destinies of the world." " Prave 'orris " these, which savour strongly of indefinite annexationist projects. The Empress went from Fontainebleau to Ville genic; yesterday to see Prince Jerome, and found him better than could have been supposed possible after the succession of serious attacks which he has lately had. The Bishop of Amiens, while obeying the orders of government in directing that a Te Deism should be sung for the annexation of Savoy and Nice, took the opportunity—or rather went very much out of his way—to call the attention of the faithful of his diocese to "other frontiers equally dear to their hearts," and to the necessity of preserving the "small remains" of the temporal power of the Pope. Money being the great desideratum at Rome, the prelate particularly recommends the Roman loan to the attention of pious seekers of good investments, and he takes upon himself to say that the government will allow the loan to be brought out in France and will place no impedi ments in the way of voluntary gifts. In order, how ever, to prevent " any pretext for agitation or malevolent constructions," the bishop abstains from ordering any collection either in churches or pri vate houses. A very curious story is told in relation to the litigation between the Bishop of Moulins and the heirs of the Marquis de Villette, which I men tioned the other day. The deceased was the son of the member of the Convention of the same name, who was fond of giving himself out to be the son of Voltaire. The wife of this Marquis de Villette was adopted by Voltaire's niece, Madame Denis, and Voltaire himself bequeathed to him his heart. The heart of Voltaire, enclosed in a silver urn, has been preserved in the family as an heir loom, and if the will now disputed shall be upheld, it will become the property of one of the most pious bishops in France. The name of the counsel for the Villette family was M. Marie, not Mane, as previously stated. POLAND. The Poles in Galicia have sent to their three countrymen at Vienna, Messrs. Starowiejeki, Vira sinaki, and Polanaki, called by the Emperor of Austria to take part in the council of the empire (Reicharath) the following patriotic address expres sive of great national spirit : We are all in common intimately convinced that all organic institutions, whatever may be the amount of poli tical liberty they enjoy, will be productive of but little benefit to our province, incorporated as it is with the Aus trian empire, so long as the vital condition of our existence is not preserved intact in its 611101106 and in the signs of nationality with which God has endowed us. Nationality ie the subsistence of life ; it constitutes the existence of every people, and it has even been guaranteed to us Poles by special international treaties. In this conviction we venture to hope, gentlemen ? that you will take advantage of every opportunity to obtain the restitution to our country of the conditions of a national existence which the authorities have hitherto refused to grant, and chiefly to use your beet endeavours to render our Polish language the one to be used for purposes of instruc tion in all the schools and universities of our province, for that is the only means of preserving the purity of the lan guage of our fathers, and to spread education in the coun try, and to procure the privilege that in our district all business relating to judicial and administrative affairs may be 'married on in the language of the country in which also all the ordinances of government may be publi,heil, the previous practice of the authorities notwithstanding, that in all meetings that may hereafter be assembled in the provinces for the purpose of defining the organisation of parishes and districts, and of the province itself, the Polish language alone be admitted as the official language ; that no obstacle, be piseed in the way of our efforts for the de velopment of the feeling of national art and literature, for which we claim the protection and favour of the govern ment; and that the care we take to preserve our national traditions and monuments may not be construed into a mark of insurrectionary tendencies on oar part. We con fuse ourselves to as expression of these wishes, which we believe to be also them el car fellow-countrymen, sad pass over in silence our other mum, as also the sad condition of national salaam in this country.

TURIN, Jerez 13. Last year we witnessed extraordinary patriotic zeal on the part of the young men of Ita—rich and poor vied with each other in setting at defiance persecutions and dangers, and flocking to the standard of the Italian King. This was not a mere momentary excitement, or a paseiug fashion. It was a genuine manifestation of renascent national sentiment, and subsequent events have brought out ' this fact more clearly. Were there forty or fifty ships ready to sail from Genoa, and were oppor- I tunity given to the youths of all parts of.the Icountry to go and fight against the Bourbon or the Pope, they would be filled in a few days. Many students who were reading bard for their degree, many who held lucrative ap pointments, or were making large incomes in com mercial pursuits, many men of independent means have left, and many more of all these claeses are about to leave. Of course, many are kept back by the love and the fears of their parents, and nume rous are the stratagems employed on the one side to effect, and on the other to prevent, a start. Last year some of these contests ended tragically. At Verona, for instance, a young man belonging to a wealthy family, who was shut up in his father's house to prevent his going to the war of indepen dence, attempted to let himself down from the win dow one night by a rope ; the rope broke and he was found next morning lying dead on the ground. An equally distressing thing has happened on this occasion. A lad of good family wished to join the expedition to Sicily. His father and mother were opposed to his doing so, but being hopeless of dissuading him feigned compliance with his wishes, int end ing, however, by some means or other, to keep him at home till the expedition, which they felt sure was a desperate one, had sailed. The evening before its departure they put a quantity of opium in the son's wine. The dose was so effectual that the brave boy never woke again. To-morrow Savoy and Nice are to be formally handed over to France. Our government has de puted Count. Bianchi di Caatagni to perform this office for Savoy, and Comnatore Pirinoli for Nice ; so to-morrow the sacrifice will be complete. At seven o'clock yesterday evening the Minister Carafe sent off from Naples a telegram in cipher to Signor Canofari, the resident minister here, who received it at half-past eight. If it had contained any great news it would not have been in cipher, we may feel sure. Probably it contained some in structions respecting the plausible and concessionary policy which the Neapolitan government is con strained to adopt just at present, while looking forward to better times, when Lamoriciere shall have got together his army, and Austria shall have made up her mind openly to aban don the policy of non-intervention. You may, perhaps, be aware that the Neapolitan govern ment has freighted five large transports at Marseilles. Is this done, I wonder, to prevent their getting into the bands of the Sicilians, or with a view to effecting a landing of its own in Sicily one of these fine days 1 Some colour is given to the latter supposition by letters which I have received from Naples stating that it was decided in council to blockade Sicily, destroy her commerce, and then make a bold attempt at re-conquest. It is hoped that the Neapolitans will be reconciled by a con stitution to the pro)ects of their Bourbon King. Meanwhile money will be spent to foster a repub lican party in Sicily, and the centre of this and similiar operations will be Syracuse, the least libe ral of Sicilian cities. I have reason to believe that information to this effect will be sent to Lord Palmerston by one who has good evidence of the intentions of the Neapolitan government. Marshal Vaillant is hourly expected at Turin, where he willstay over to-morrow, to take leave of the King on his return to France. At Milan he has been much feted—the object being to do honour to the Emperor his master. On his own account he has not been over-much liked, and he has shown himself deficient in sympathy for the cause of Italy in general and Piedmont in parti cular. Had he been sovereign of France we should have had no battles of Solferino and Magenta, no annexation of Tuscany, still less of the Romagna. I have informed you that the new expedi tion for Sicily was commanded by Colonels Medici and Coseuz, and so it would have been had there been transport ships enough ; unfortunately there was only room for Medici and his division of something less than 3,000 men. Cosenz will follow him, but I know neither how, nor where, nor when. In a private sitting of the Senate to-day, General Fanti, Minister of War, was questioned as to the condition of the army. His replies were more reassuring than could have been anticipated front the distrust occasioned by the disorders which have occurred in some of the new regiments. In two months the army will be entirely reorganised, and many deficiencies supplied. Even as it is, it could take the field in pretty good condition if necessary. Signor Giuseppe Lft Farms, a Sicilian, who was at the head of the "National Society," and who has been of great service to the national cause during the last two years, has gene to Sicily, where he was warmly welcomed. The extreme and republican party, while thwarting him, tries to sepa rate him from Garibaldi ; but these two loyal men will find no difficulty in acting to gether ; whatever differences there may have been between them hitherto have been differences as to expediency, not differences of principle. Like Garibaldi, Signor La Farina is much esteemed by Count Cavour, and this will increase his power of serving the cause of Sicily, and indeed of all Italy. I believe that before his departure be went to pay his respects to Victor Emmanuel, to whom he is in debted for a !generous hospitality during several years—a hospitality which he, at au) rate, has ap preciated and not abused. Signor La Farina is a historical writer of considerable merit, and a re markably good speaker. THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL IN Juvz 16.

One hundred camels, laden with specie, isicorted by 100 of the Emperor's horsemen, reached the town of Mersgan on the Bth inst. from Morocco. After depositing the treasure in safety, the escort was ordered to join the camp at the former party outside the town. the greatest harmony prevailed between the natives, who bring from the in terior the produce of their lands, and the European traders rending there. Trade continued brisk, eves clay in wools, which were in good demand. Several sail ing vessels of various nations were in port, some loading and others seeking cargo. Freights were lowering very much. At Seel the Maronsin left five vessels taking in cargo.
