THE MINDS, YEIVIIIWAY.- HALF-PAST Two oletoca. Little or nothing doing in the foreign market this morning, Spanish Bonds opened at Sfl—went up to S9l.—The• price of these Bonds at Paris is from 37 to SB. Six French expresses were in. before the market opened, and on the rattle going bargains in Consols were done at 751. They subsequently went to 75i 1,--and there remaiped.steady for some time, when the arrival of a seventh express drove several heavy sellers upon the market, and Consols declined to 75•-• s t. which price they remain. The first ar. rivals from Paris brought the French Fives at 80f. 654. It is now rumoured that the last arrival brings them 791. 65c.--a fall of three per cent.— but the trickiug fluctuations of the French Funds have nearly ceased to operate upon our market.

A vessel arrived at Havre, has brought intelli gence that on the 16th of December last, a violent tire broke out in the town of Port-an-Prince. A considerable part of the town, the custom-house, a great number of buildings, immense magazines, and the whole quarter of the merchants, became the prey of the flames. The loss caused by this disaster is valued at five millions of piasters. Three.funrths of the loss, it is said, falls on English houses. The loss was the more considerable in consequence the negroes having taken advantage of the disorder inseparable to such a catastrophe, to plunder part of the property which was saved from the fire.— The only foreign hotis which the conflagration spared were those of Messrs. Torbeche, Magnus and Oldenburg ; Heland and Weber • G. Windsor ; Phelps, 134.aksted and Co.; and V. Wusfield. In consequence of the refusal of the High Sheriff of Hants to convene a county meeting, Sir Thomas Baring has offered his services to join four other magistrates, in giving a legal character to a county meeting, fur the purpose of discussing the causes of the ?eget agricultural distress. 4 TB: NATIO' REGISTER POR EXPLORING THE OOUREE OP THE NIGER. The missien consisting of Dr. Oudenay, Major ;Denham, and Lieutenant Clapperton, had on their first journey arrived at Moursoult, the capital of the kingdom of Fatima, in the month of April last, in the best health and spirits, having performed the journey in 44 days, a distance of 600 miles. On Arriving at Moursouk, the same house was prepared for•them that was inhabited by Mr. Ritchie and his friends in the year 1819, and where he fell • vie. tim to the arduous enterprise he had undertaken.— All those who have read Captain Lyon's interesting-. narrative of this journey will recollect the delays and difficulties that presented themselves to the fur ther prosecution of their object, and the prixations they had here to encounter and endure which pa ralysed their exertions by exhausting aLoncatheir health and resources. Major . Denham, fearing lest his hopes had been defeated brsimilaa miens, and all his endeavours to advance to Bourn proving ineffectual, decided on the hazardous altetaative of returning to Tripoli, sad he describes his journey in these words:—" In pursuance of my intentions, which you were made acqiminted with by my letter from Morsouk, I left the .placeon the 19th of May, and after 23 days of great.latiaue, arrived here (Tripoli) on the Ilth-of last month. One Arab Sheikh and two camels composed, ,with myself, the caravan.

At night we generally got a little kennels. sous, with some fat sad salt—no bad supper; but a cup of tea was a luxury supreme, as it satisfied thirst, sad took-off.the edge of the , putrid taste of the bad. water ; our fire, .which was always made by. 'creeping together camels' dung whit.* we lotusik was consequently. uncertain, and we sometimes could. not find more than was necessary fur boiling little water.' 1 had a tent with me, bat seldom pitched it, we were all too tired, and my Arab thought it quite useless; we slips off our hopes when nearly sleeping with fatigue eaulheat, the , nose-beg was put over the poor animal's head, and. a .cord sound his two fore legs; the loose stones were soon cleared from a spice large,euough, to receive our carcasses, and soiled up in a.bormouse, is two minutes ail our troubles were fergotten." Fresh arrangements having been now . made, by which it is hoped all the difficulties, except those of climate, may be avoided. . Major Denham has again set forward to join his associates, and in a subsequent letter says, "I shall certainly make the attempt of -returning, home by the way of Egypt." A-meetingof theiteeholders. .the county of Carmarthen was held at the Shire Hall, in the town of Cerruerthen, on Tuesday, the 28th of January, " to take into consideration thepropiiety of petition ing Parliament to adopt, measures tot the relief of the agricultural interests from the unparalleled dis tress under which they at present labour."

Phillips, Eq.; John Saunders, Esq. and several other gentlemen OCCUM wined to interest themselves in the political affair. of the mina'', were present, and a Petition to. Pitt. liament was agreed on. The Spanisii Government has published the de cree of the Cartes, which orders the calling into. active service the whole of the militia of the king- . dom. This term militia requires an ezph►natiun fur foreigners. There are three kind► .of militia in Spain, each of which has a particular denaininstion and object, viz. the Active Militia, the Volunteer Militia, and the Legal Militia. The first is a kiud oferdiy of reserve, and in time of war those whit serve in it mina pet form the seine duty as the troop* of the line. Tt►e Volunteer Militia are enrolled tor the purpose of mai►►taiuing order in the interior, and above all of delmding at all risks the constitu tie,isl system. ,Finally, toe Legal Militia is nothing else than the great body of the male population capable of bearing arms, who are liable to be called out if need be, in aid of the volunteer militia, or to co.operate with the other troops in defending the national independence against the attacks of timeign Powers.
