FRENCH PAPERS. 'CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES,—SrrriNG OF MARCH 25. M. Dupin, President, in the chair. The adjourned debate on the project of law rela tive to political associations was resumed. Two amendments, proposed by Messrs. Teste and Eschasseriaux—having for object, the one to limit the duration of the law to five years, the other to seven—were taken into consideration. M. Liadieres spoke 'against the amendments, contending that in a country where government had to guard itself against continual attacks, a permanent law for the regulation of associations was indispen sably necessary. M. de Rance said, as the law appeared to him in the light of an exceptional law, he thought it his duty to support the amendment. M. Salvandy opposed the amendment, because, in his opinion, he added, it Would have the effect of annulling the law. The hon. deputy, after describ ing the state of rallies, expressed his astonishment and indignation at the audacious display of Repub lican opinions. This party, he added, wishes to make our young monarchy carry it suspended at her girdle, in like manner as the law of Sparta forced a peasant to conceal under his garment a fox which devoured his entrails. Voice from the le t—What a fine metaphor! M. Salvandy—lt may not be fine, but it is true. This very morning, I received a threatening letter, and that has induced me to address the Chamber. N. Pages (de l'A?riege) spoke in favour of the amendment of M. Eschasseriaux, proposing that the law should expire in 1839, The hon. deputy drew a comparison between the present peaceable state of France and the almost European agitation in the midst of which Mr. Pitt brought forward in the British parliament only temporary Measures against certain political associations then existing. The Iron. deputy here read passage from a speech of Mr. Fox, in which he said, "if the ministers em ploying all the Means of corruption in their power, succeed in cAtaining a majority in this chamber" --(Cries from behind the minister's bench, " You insult 'us." Bursts of laughter from the left). 'M.- de Corcelles—But these are the words of Mr. Fox ; it was not of you that he was speaking.— (Renewed laughter.) M. Pages—l resume the quotation from Mr. Fox's speech—" Under such circumstances, obedi ence is no longer a duty, it is merely an act of pru dence." Mr. Pitt reproached Mr. Fox with exci dirg- ..the s neople to sedition ; to which Mr. Fox re plied, " It is only a pro - atitute majority which could attack the right of association ; (and if the nation is robbed of a sacred right, it has a right tcrinesist.”— (Murmurs from the centre.) M. Pages concluded] by declaring that if the arbitrary character of the I law was not at least tempered by the amendment of M. Eschasseriaux, he could not submit to it, and he was ready to join any one who should be willing to resist it.—(Violent exclamations.) M. Martin (du Nord) opposed the amendment, and contended that the proposed law was necessary to the permanent security of social order, and nova law of exception. General Leydet moved the following amendment : —" The law upon the associations shall only be temporary, and shall expire at the close of the ses sion of 1836." M. Teste again addressed a few observations to the chamber m support of his amendment.—(Cries of " Question, question.") The Keeper of the Seals (from his place)—l think it right to declare that the government con siders all these amendments as completely destruc tive of the principle of the law. The principle of General Leydet's amendment was first put to the vote, and being rejected, it negatived all other amendments upon the same point. The chamber proceeded to ballot on the ensemble of the law. The result was as follows :—Number of votes, 400—For the proposed law, 246 ; against it, 154.—The law passed. The chamber proceeded to take into consideration the project of law relative to the extraordinary credits of 1834 for the war and naval departments. The Minister of the Interior is said to be occu pied in preparing a new general system of police for the whole kingdom. The canton of Liestal (Basle Country), in answer to the recommendation of the Vorort to expel the refugees, expressed itself in the following terms : " As to the proposal that it shall be declared that the refugees who took part in the invasion of Savoy are unworthy of being granted an asylum, and that they should be expelled from Switzerland, we find it impossible to assent. We, on the con trary, are of opinion that this affair should be left to be regulated by the cantons which it concerns, recommending, in the mean time, that these refu gees should be closely watched, in order to prevent a recurrence of similar proceedings. To abandon to an uncertain fate men who, after all, have but di rected their efforts to obtain an object which we con sider as the greatest of national blessings, would be inhuman, and would not in any case be in harmony with our institutions." The Munich Political Gazette, speaking of the resolw ion of the canton of Berne not to use violent measures against the refugees, says—" This means, in other terms, that the Grand Council of Berne will not acknowledge any right of dictation in any European Power ; that it will not alarm itself with regard to the neutrality granted to Switzerland by the great powers, and that it is determined to act according to its own free will. Conduct like this, by the greatest canton in Switzerland, calls for the serious attention of the European Cabinets, and particularly of the German Cabinets, which must at length take measures to maintain their honour and dignity." _ _ The Sentinelle des Pyrhz6es of Bayonne of the 22d inst. has the following :—" It appears that the Carlists had received the promise of three days' pillage at Vittoria, but the very day of their entrance they thought proper to abandon that town. The Commander of the Queen's troops, Osma, pursued their rear-guard, and made 27 prisoners, who have probably been shot, in retaliation for the execution of the prisoners made by the insurgents. The Car lists had 380 horsemen, commanded by a chief who had fought in America." We have the following from St. Sebastian :—" 200 militiamen were at Ga marra, near Vittoria ; these unfortunate men, after a vigorous resistance, in which 40 were killed, sur rendered, on the express condition that their lives should be spared : but they were instantly shot. The insurgents then penetrated by different streets into the town, where they met with so obstinate a resistance that they were obliged to retire, leaving a great many dead, and 50 prisoners, whose death was loudly called for. The greatest praise is due to General Don Joaquim de Osma, who, without hat or sword, put himself at the head of the militia and the volunteers, and gave an example of the most brilliant valour in falling upon the Carlists. On the following day several carts were laden with the in surgents killed ; the rebels required 150 horses to carry away their wounded. Thus, but for the loss of the 200 militia, the attack on Vittoria would have been a glorious day." We learn from Geneva, under date of March 21, that all the States of the Confederation have acceded to the measures proposed by the Vorort in its circu lar letter of February 22, with the exception of Berne and Basle Country. It will be recollected that the measures proposed by the letter are to have the effect of expelling from Switzerland all the Poles who took part in the expedition against Savoy. A letter of the Bth inst., from Rome, says, " The receptio KV.l":6ez de Castro, as Minister from Spain c?%t,liisv 11 -- _„`tvill probably meet with great 4, - obs ek , ':""gilb)hBft„ the young Queen be ac knoiiledged, Ak :li C t... .47V t appear likely at present, it wia undouhtedly e remembered that this ambas sador was a ranibes-ofige ancient C or t es , an d acte d as secretary to - that \44,briably from 1807 t o 1808." Tile Academia.C4.lll4of Dijon have lately eon demnad a law stndenWri4med Duvigner, to exclusion for fo ft ur years- frolti,lhe faculties of France, for having published i'revolutionary pamphlet addresse 1 to the army. The Journal des Dad.: says that its hopes have been realized by the adoption of the Association Bill without any of the amendments that would have ren dered it an exceptional measure. It then takes a general review of the debate, and adds : " This dis cussion will remain a memorable enc. On both sides great talent has been displayed. But there is some thing that we admire more than talent ; it is a frank ness and firmness of heart ; it is the courage to avow one's opinion without reserve, and this is what all persons of good faith will admire in the majority. The bill which the Chamber has just thrown in the face of the associations is its profession of faith be fore the country and the electoral body. It is its title to re-election, and it wishes for no other ; it is upon this title that the country will soon have to decide between it and the Opposition." The Journal de Paris considers the adoption of the bill by nearly 100 votes as adding to the autho rity of the law an incontestable moral authority. " All the shades of the Opposition," it adds, " have united to repel the bill, for no amendment was passed to change it in its principle, or in its main provisions. This law is therefore important ; it will have its effect ; it will inspire the factious with a salutary dread ; it will remain a monument of patriotism, and, in voting it, the majority have deserved well of their country." M. ROSSINI. On Friday last the Tribunal de Premiere In stance, at Paris, *as occupied with the suit of M. Rossini against the Paymaster of the Civil List, under the following circumstances :—During the reign of Charles X., Rossini was sent for from Italy by that monarch, and very advantageous arrange ments were made with him, with the understanding that he should devote his musical talents exclusively to France. Rossini, however, some time afterwards wishing to return to Italy, entered into a fresh ar rangement with the minister of the King's house hold. By this arrangement the title of First Com poser to the King and Inspector-General of Singing was bestowed upon M. Rossini, as well as an annual pension of 6,000 francs for his past services. M. Rossini also bound himself by another engagement to compose exclusively for the Academie Royale de Musique, and to produce for that theatre five grand operas, in the space of ten years, under certain pe cuniary conditions, but subsequently fearing that the 6,000 francs might be considered as the compensa tion for the operas which he had engaged to furnish to the Academie, he made an application to the minister of the King's household with a view to settle all doubts upon the subject. The consequence was that Rossini obtained a document, signed by Charles X. himself; in which it was expressly stated %Ault the pension of 6,000 francs was for his former services. •Matters were in this state when the revo lution of 1830 took pila,e, and M. Rossini suffered the same fate as the other cladnalafs upon the civil list of Charles X. The payment of ►t x nension was stopped. M. Rossini having applied to the paymaster of the ancient civil list for what he con sidered to be his right, and claimed his arrears, the latter would not take upon himself the responsibility of paying a pension granted by another government, but said the question must be referred to the com petent tribunals. The case, therefore, came before the First Chamber of the Tribunal of First Instance. M. Dupin appeared for M. Rossini, and established the fact of the pension having been granted, M. Gairal, who was counsel for the paymaster of the civil list, endeavoured to show that the pension ought to be paid by the Academie Royale, as M. Rossini was under engagement to write for that establishment ; but the court decided that M. Rossini was not only entitled to the arrears of his pension, but ordered it to be regularly paid in future. Thus has Rossini been paid the debt which France and the friends of art owed to him. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. A letter of the 25th ult., from Constanti nople, after some general observations on the treaty of the Bth of July, which it considers much more hostile to England than to France, on account of the greater extent of the commerce of the former power in the Levant, contains the following :—" You will recollect that discussions have taken place upon the chances of success of an expedition by Russia against India. Opposite opi nions have been entertained, but it has never yet been stated that such an expedition has been actually commenced, and that the Persians, urged by Russia, had already gone half way to India, and overthrown the kingdom of Cabul, which separates them from the British possessions in the East. This attack, which was begun two years ago, cannot be unknown to England ; why, therefore, does she remain silent ? The following are the facts :—" Abbas Mirza, the Prince Royal, who died lately, undertook, in 1831, an expedition against the provinces of Yezd, Herat, and Khorasan, as an experiment, to show how far he could advance with his small regular army." During his different campaigns he was accompanied by staff officers of the Russian army. Abbas Mirza him- 1 self, invested with the Order of St. Andrew, acted according to the intimations of his Sovereign, the Emperor Nicholas. However, as the questions which agitated Europe were not cleared up, and appeared to be imminent, the Czar took an opportunity of showing England what he was able to do, and sent forth the Per sian prince against India, still attended by Russian staff officers. Herat was gained, and the son of Kamran Schah, King of Cabul, fell into the hands of the conqueror, who advanced towards the capital. Death, however, seized him before he could accom plish his undertaking. The distance from Taurus to Herat is much about the same as that from Herat to Pischaver, the boundary of English India. He passed the Desert, and after he had entered Cabul would have had no natural obstacle to con tend with. It may be well believed that the pre sence of a Mahometan Prince on the frontiers of India would have been sufficient to cause all the Mussulmans of the country to rise and to shake the fidelity of the inhabitants, and thus compromise the British authority. And yet England has remained totally silent as to this attempt, without venturing to make the least complaint or remonstrance. The Emperor Nicholas has conferred a suitable reward on Abbas Mirza in the person of his son Mehemet, who, in the St. Petersburgh Gazette, is styled Royal Highness. According to the law of succession, on the death of Abbas Mirza during the life of the King his father, the next surviving Prince Royal, Hussein Ali Mirza, Governor of Shiraz, became the heir to the Persian throne ;` but the Emperor of Russia, having acknowledged Abbas Mirza, carries his acknowledgment to his children. This is at variance with the laws of inheritance, and yet, strange to say, England makes no remonstrance, although the Prince of Shiraz is friendly to her interests, and the sons of Abbas Mirza are the partisans and vassals of Russia."—Galignard s Messenger. Lord Lyndhurst stated at the assizes last week, in reply to a question from Mr. Clarkson, that the Judges had recently decided that former convic tions should invariably be produced and read in Court on a second charge of felony.—Brighton Gazette. BRUSSELS RAILROAD.—The question of the railroad was decided in favour of the Ministers, to the great advantage of the country, inAast Sunday's sitting of the Chamber of Representatives: The prin ciple of the projected construction being admitted—for all hope of effective opposition to it became evidently futile—the opponents of the measure were satisfied to try their strength on the question of whether the enter prise was to be intrusted entirely to the Government, or to some company of private speculators, on the sys tem which prevails in England, and finds occasional imitation elsewhere. Ninety-nine members voted on the division-55 in favour of the ministerial plan, 35 against it. This majority of 20, so considerably more than the Ministers expected, proves various valuable truths. It shows that the real good sense of the coun try is still broad awake ; that party or personal motives do not sway the great body of the representatives ; that ministerial influence is not upheld by any pledged or privileged band of corrupt legislators ; and above all things, it is important that this measure should have been so carried as to put an end to all cavil on the part of local coteries, and to remove all fear of successful obstacles in the senate. HAMBURG, BRUSSELS, AND GERMAN PAPERS. ST. PETERSBURGH, MARCH 12.—The accounts from the interior' of the empire become more and more fa vourable, in consequence of large supplies of corn that arrive from all quarters. Provisions have fallen con siderably in price in the provinces where the distress was the greatest. The humane measures of the Go vernment have been everywhere seconded by the public charity, and the greatest exertions have been made to relieve the distress of the poorer classes. Our journals are full of accounts of patriotic gifts, as well of numerous individuals as of public bodies. An article in the Allgenteine Zeitung, dated from the Polish frontiers, affirms that final sentence is passed on the authors of the Polish revolution. We believe we may affirm that this statement is premature. As far as we have been able to learn from an authentic source, the investigations are indeed closed, and it may therefore be expected that sentence will soon be passed. The same article says the inhabitants of Warsaw had been obliged to contribute the large sums required for the fortifications of the city, to which we reply that the expense for the erection of the citadel of Warsaw is defrayed out of the general revenue of the city of Po land, and that no new burdens have been imposed on that account, either in the city of Warsaw or any other part of the kingdom. The correspondent of the Allgemeine Zeitung farther states the garrison of Warsaw at thirteen regiments of infantry and four regiments of cavalry, to which we must reply that in the whole kingdom of Poland there are only twelve regiments of infantry and four of ca valry and the cossacks necessary to guard the frontier. BERLIN, MARCH 22.—The collection of the laws contains the convention between Prussia Russia, and Austria, for the punishment of political offenders. The military journal announces to-day the nomina tion of Prince William, his Majesty's brother, as Go vernor, and of General Muffling as Vice-Governor of Mayence.

The third battalion or .11k, .*hied regiment of chas seurs on foot, which was in garrison at Brussels, re ceived orders yesterday morning to go to Lierne. It set out immediately. The Journals mention various other movements of detachments of troops. Persons who have arrived from Turnpont, and let ters from the frontiers, inform us that the Dutch are in force in that quarter. The soldiers have received ball cartridges ; ammunition of all kinds has been sent them within these few days. The men have received shoes, and are quite ready to take the field. The Dutch are also reinforced in Dutch Flanders.—Phare. Letters from Thionville and Longwy say, that the number of French troops that have been collected on that part of the frontier since the late events in Luxemburg, amount to 10,000 men. The Journal of Navarin says that the Minister of War, has ordered the militia men of the classes of 1827-28, whose furloughs had been prolonged till the Ist of July, to join their corps by April 1. This state ment we are able to confirm. Orders were this morn ing addressed to the officers of the garrison of Brussels, to recall all the militia of this class by Ist of April. The whole class of 1826 still remains on furlough. It is probable that a new vote of credit for the war de partment will soon be asked of the Chamber. The discussion of the project of law for the iron rail-road continues in the Chamber of Representatives. Brussels Papers, March 27. ROME, MARCH 13.—The budget, called here Ii Preventivo, is now more better known, and the deficit is not so great as was supposed. The floating debt is covered, so that with good management the last loan of Messrs. Rothschild will set all straight. Much is hoped from the appointment of Monsieur Fosti to the office of Treasurer : he proposes many changes ; economy in the finances will avail but little, unless something is done to promote the industry of the country. The principal re ceipts are those which foreigners, from all countries, bring to Rome. On the other hand, all manufactured articles are imported from England, France, and Germany. The money we have had glides away, and the country loses considerably. The revo lution in Romagna has also cost the State a heavy sum : 347,000 dollars were expended on military equipments, which were either spoiled or embezzled by the revo lutionists, and have now been furnished again : , 1 255,000 dollars fell into the hands of the anarchists at Bologna alone. The deficit in the public treasury is chiefly to be attributed to these events. The Papal militia now costs 3,000,000 dol., formerly it cost but 1,000,000 dollars. The Papal Court costs only 255,000 dollars; the Cardinals 103,000 dollars. The Administration, that is, the entire Ministry, only 42,000 dollars. The Papal Nuncios cost yearly 58,000 dollars. A saving of 80,000 dollars was made last year in the payment of public officers, compared with that of former years. The Queen Dowager of Naples has visited the Pope, and was re ceived with due honour. She has also given a brilliant assembly, to which all the Roman Princesses were invited, as well as the nobility and artists, of Naples. The General of the order of Dominicans, Jablot, is dead. VIENNA, MARCH 18.—The Prussian Minister M. Ancillon arrived here yesterday evening. This morning he has had a conference of several hours with Prince Metternich. It is said that there is to be a full meet ing of the members of the German Conference, the day after to-morrow, at which matters of great im portance will probably be decided. We hear that the Luxemburg question has lately been subjected to long discussions, and it is hoped that it will soon be settled to the satisfaction of all the parties interested. VIENNA, MARCH 18.—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 98 1-32 • Four per Cent., 88 7-10 ; Bank Shares, I,2s3.—Allgemeine Zeiiitng, ' March 23. BERLIN, MARCH 14.—The late debates in the British House of Commons on the corn laws have excited great interest here, for they affect Prussia more than any other country. Since they have been in force, the ports, Dantzic and Konigsberg, which previously were so animated and wealthy, have become de serted, and the value of land has fallen upwards of a fourth, and as the commerce of the interior of Po land is annihilated, the progressive decline of this hitherto flourishing province need create no surprise. Notwithstanding all the efforts made by the Govern ment to recover by other means the expiring prosperity, it is easy to discover that as the geographical position and the productions of the country cannot be ch a nged, its former opulence cannot be recovered until exporta tion to England and the communications with Poland are re-established. Mr. Hume and Mr. Thomson said, the only question was how long it should be be fore the corn bill should be abolished. This language proves that, in all probability, the Go vernment will not be able to postpone the re peal of the bill, for it becomes a question of vital im portance to the manufacturing interests, which are the more closely connected with it on account of the Prussian system of customs, which is clearly more and more threatening and injurious to commerce. We may, therefore, entertain a hope, which is warranted by the declarations of the ministers, that the corn laws will be abolished, or at least modified, and that in con sequence the commerce of Prussia will be greatly in creased. A Plenipotentiary from the Netherlands is about to proceed to Biberich, to meet there the commissioners from Russia and Austria, in order to come to an un derstanding with the Duke of Nassau, relative to the territory of Luxemburg.—Allgemeine Zeitung. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKE T , MARCH 27.—The sales of the day amount to 3,000 bags, and of the week (which has closed to-day) to 19,000. Prices have not undergone any material variation since Friday, though some cotton has been sold to-day a shade lower than was asked for it yesterday. The import is heavy.

The French Coercion Bill has at length been carried by a majority of 246 to 154. The total number of Members opposed to the bill (some of whom were necessarily absent) was about 170, which, in a house consisting of 460 members, is a vast minority, and shows the determined opposition made to the measure. The Irish Coercion Bill occupied the House of Commons for nearly the same period, namely, one month ; but the division was very diffe rent, there being not more than 89 out of 466, opposed to it. The difference between the provisions of the two bills, however, was still greater. The Irish bill applied but to one part of the United Kingdom, and was to last only for a limited and short period, whereas the other extends to the whole of France, and is passed without limitation. The large minority ought to make the Government pause, and inquire what chance they have of enforcing a measure opposed by so many in the Chamber and out of it. In this country it would not be endured for a week, and from the sympathy which exists between the two nations, and the strong feeling which French juries have lately dis played in tffoobaryvopcurlroothhsioeinbfgit the sale of atw freedom in political dis cussion, we d ou bt muc h if it c an be enforced witho u t exc i t i ng a genera l commo ti on . H ow far th a t may b e f avoura bl e to t h e O r l eans dynasty an d th e peace o f E urope , we l eave displayedLoutrde r s PHILIP to judge. The spirit lately the theatres French elvenee— he the o laweleven papers in the streets ; and, last of all, a bill to prevent every meeting without the sanction of the Minister, certainly gives rise to serious apprehensions ; and it is probably as much with a view to warn the French KING of his danger, as to communicate with him on the affairs of the East, that Lord DURHAM has proceeded on a mission to Paris. We do not wish to exaggerate the danger, but it is impos sible to deny the fact, that these strong mea sures must alienate the affections of a vast ma jority of those who banished CHARLES X., and placed his cousin on the throne. Nothing could serve the views of the Autocrat of Russia so much at the present time as a commotion in France, which would occupy the Government at home, and prevent it from joining England in an y attempt to stop Russian aggression in the East. It would appear by the latest intelligence from Portugal, that the cause of Don PEDRO does not advance with so much good fortune as the friends of the young QUEEN have been led to e xpect, and that the inhabitants of Lisbon are not at all sanguine in the expectation of dis lodging MIGUEL from Santarem, or of driving the supporters of the Usurper from the occupa tion of the interior. Lisbon is considered per fectly safe from any reverse in the event of the Miguelites acting upon the offensive ; whilst by som e it is represented that the troops of Don MIGUEL are dispirited, ill clad, diseased, &c. On the other hand, it is declared that they are well disciplined, in excellent condition, and abundantly supplied. On all sides it appears to be agreed that the contest is likely to conti nue for a considerable period longer. The spe culators in Portuguese Stock, who are con stantly on the look out on the coast for arrivals, and whose plans of communication are well or ganized, and almost certain to procure the earli est, if not the best intelligence, are most san guine as to the next battle proving decisive of MIGUEL'S fate. They speak confidently as to the superiority of the QUEEN'S troops before Santarem, and profess to know for a fact that Colonel :BAcoN had 5,000 troops under his command, for the express purpose of compelling MIGUEL to abandon Santarem. These gen tlemen have latterly been successful in their operations, and are likely to speculate high for a rise. The Hamburg, Brussels, and German papers contain no news of importance. They mention that the late debates in the House of Commons on the Corn Laws have excited considerable interest at Berlin, for the reason that they affect Prussia more than any other country. On Thursday evening a meeting of the in habitants of St. Saviour's, Southwark, was held in the Ladye Chapel, for the purpose of adopt ing the best means of securing the advantages obtained from the Borough Market, and for opposing the intended new market in St. George the Martyr. Much nonsense was talked on this occasion. The speakers were all vehement in their opposition to the new project, but for no reason that we can discover, except that they imagined it would militate against their own interests. These interests, however, must not be permitted to interfere with the public good. The market proposed to be erected in St. George the Martyr, is one, the utility of which is so very obvious and undeniable, that we are convinced it will be successfully completed, notwithstanding all the desperate efforts that monopoly may make against it. --- PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE.

The House sat to-day pursuant to adjournment to hear Scotch appeals. The Lords present were the Lord Chancellor, the • Marquis of Clanricarde, Vis count Melbourne, and the Bishop of Hereford. LORD DENMAN. Llt being fully expected that Lord Denman would ave seen introduced ana - taken nis seat tins i rnorning, on being elevated to the peerage, for the purpose of performing that ceremony, the Earl Marshall (the Duke of Norfolk) the Lord Chamberlain, and Garter King at Arms were in attendance, but the noble lord not having arrived in town from the circuit, his intro duction was delayed till Monday. TURNER V. BALLANDENE. The house then proceeded with this Scotch appeal, the question in which was as to the right of the appel lant to throw off the water accumulating in his coal mines during the period of their working over certain lands in the occupation of the respondent, ca ll e d Wester Pit (lobar. Dr. LUSHINGTON and Mr. MURRAY were counsel for the appellant ; and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL and the LORD ADVOCATE for the respondent. Dr. LUSHINGTON had not concluded his address when we left. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. By the French mail this morning it appears, by ac counts from Antwerp and Brussels, that the movements of the Dutch army have caused great sensation in the above towns. It was expected, on the return of Prince Frederick from Berlin, that some important operations would take place. Other accounts state, that the news received from the east of Brabant causes great un easiness. It was believed that Holland was contem plating some new perfidy ; their troops were ready to march ; the army was only waiting for her chief to make a movement in advance. Accounts from Paris state, that despatches have been sent off from the Minister of War to the Commander of Bayonne, and assure us that several battalions of the garrisons of Bordeaux, Montpellier, Nismes, &c., were to march immediately for Bayonne. It It also stated that the dissolution of the Army of the Pyrenees has been abandoned. A report prevailed at Paris that King Leopold was on the point of again demanding of France auxiliary troops, should the Dutch make an eruption into Bel gium. Charlestown papers to the 2d March have been received at the North and South American Coffee House, but the contents are not of importance. A public meeting was to have been held, to take into consideration the money pressure now existing throughout the United States, and also to consider the propriety of forwarding to Congress a memorial to grant a charter to another national bank, to be located in the city of New York, with a capital of from 20 to 25 millions of dollars. Accounts from Madrid positively state that an ex pedition is decided upon to drive Don Carlos from Portugal. THE FUNDS. Although the French mail has arrived, the contents of the express from Paris have not as yet made their ap pearance. In the morning journals we understand that Spanish Stock comes higher from Paris 264. Consols opened at the same price they left off on Thursday, 91 ; at present they are 91 Sellers, with little doing. In the Foreign Market Spanish has been done at 30 • Portuguese 65 to i. if we can credit the information from Plymouth, a battle was expected to take place at Santarem on the 15th inst. The wind being now fair we may expect the result every hour. We hear that a merchant vessel, the Will-o'-the- Wisp, with a general cargo, has been taken by the Miguelites. HALF-PAST TWELVE. Since our former article was written both the Fo reign Market and Consols have become very heavy. Spanish has receded to 29# ii r . Portuguese 641. Consols have lowered•from 91 to sq. HALF-PAST ONE. Owing to its being settling day on Monday in the foreign market, there has been a great bustle amongst the speculators in Spanish and Portuguese Securities, which are the heaviest accounts to adjust; and the above Stocks have experienced a considerable fluctua tion during the morning. Spanish had receded to 29 ; Portuguese to 641. Since which, a reaction has taken place in Spanish, which may be quoted at pre sent 29,1 Up to the present hourwe do not hear of any arrivals from Lisbon, which are anxiously looked for. Con sols have also been on the decline, and have been done at 901 1 1 for the account ; at present may be quoted 90-a .['he express from Paris has not been published to the present hour, by which we prestime their is nothing of consequence to communicate. Report says General Rodil has entered Portugal with Spanish troops. Consols 901 s. THREE O'CLOCK FANATICISM.--A respectable-looking man, accompanied by an equally respectable-looking woman, paraded the Strand and Fleet-street on Sunday morn ing, the former having two large posting-bills, pasted on boards, suspended by a blue silk riband, before and behind him, and on which was the following : " THE MESSIAH IS NOW ON EARTH. " John Day, the annointed and appointed of God to reveal his holy will, will deliver a lecture," &c. The exhibition, of course, excited a good deal of attention. A BROKEN NECK NOT DANGEROUS.—We have learned with regret that Thomas E. Lalor, Esq., has been seriously injured by a fall from a horse in his own demesne of Cregg House, on Tuesday last. The worthy gentleman's neck has been fractured, but his friends have the consolation of knowing that his life is not in danger.—Waterford Mail. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-THIS DAN FROM LLOYD'S.
