WEST INDIA INTERCOURSE tEXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM APRIL 6, 1822.1 " The opinion you give me relative to our public Colonial Affairs ie nearly what my own mind suggested, when I saw so riche or, indeed, rcthing, said in the House in our favour—not a sale friend to urge a point either for the Ship-owners or the Northern Colonists. The fact is, wonderful to relate, that the 14pposition wish success to every project that has a tendency to Aii.inaernbeT the Empire, as I learnt from them unequivocally. ' when I was in . They, especially, greatly affect every - aggrandizement of their old cronies the, Americans, and there is some secret cause which I may conjecture,. but dare not state that inanenees elsewhere ; therefore I agree with there is no hope except in "contending for high duties," mad also I think for guarding a g ainst the Smuggling Trade— la.st certainly comprehends a 'g reet deal ver y interesting to lans Kingdom.. IRELAND will soon feel the effects in Her **Sion supplies • G REAT BRITAIN, in American manufac- Invel, such as boots, shoes, .cordage, canvas, nails, (cut and wrought), bar iron, gunpowder, candles (tallow and eperma . ccti3, unmanufactured leather, and sonic few articles menu -F*tured, especially ?addles, coarse slops, naval stores, tobacco, -eyaw and manufactured) soap, tin ware, books, American Etli :ions, very cheap, stationery, Fa. Scc.. Of the European -Continent, brandy, wines, gin,. sAecias,and other linens silks especially, silk stockings, dry fru its. Of the p roduce of linens, _and Curetie;teas, muslins, ginghams, nankeens in great quan-• titles, pepper, spices, Bandana handkerchiefs, fine slops twin thence, and many other such goods. As to high du tees, the best plan is that which was adopted by the old French '.itsvcenment immediately after the American Revolutionary wax. The plan proved most effectual, for it bad the tendency totentourage the fishery of St. Piere and Miquelon, and finally, drove the Americans away ; for the duties were given in 'BOUNTIES to the Northern Colonies, except a trifle reserved to I..ay . expenses ; but then that Government knew how to en ' Ibrte its ordinances, and as the Americans were not able to scanstglc, they dropped the trade altogether, except when in ac anal distrese the high prices of the Islatids attracted them._ Vet this is not the case with our Islands, where the Governors act in concert with the inhabitants, especially when they know that a slender excuse will be cheerfully received at home by the Ministry, as was the case in Mr. Fox's short Administration, When the Northern Colonirw , were reduced to a state similar to that I now anticipate. I am not scandalous in asserting that this laxity existed at that time. Indeed we have . always found that even total prohibition was a feeble defence against the Americans, except in the bulky articles of fish and lum e,-er ; but that mere restrictions, under island connivance, teceme a bounty, because they not only saved duties but port charges, to which all the British Colonists were liable, and at one period were even subject to duties. Besides, the Americans could always afford to lose upon fish and lumber, if, by direct or indirect means, they could make a profit upon prohibited goods. I could say, or rather repeat a great deal more, but thinking as I do that the poor Colonists are shamefully used -in not having an advocate to plead their cause in Parliameet— I am convinced that all is lost, except when connected with Party, and that when the Ports of Nova Scotia and New Bruns _ - - wick are given up to the Americans, the very first war with -that country will force the nation to see the error THEIR RULERS are about to commit. For myself, I am too old to contend, and having done my duty to the country, I am very -willing to bid it adieu, retaining only every sentiment of re g.ard and esteem for tions in so good a cause. Your youth will enable you, and :your goodness will, I hope, induce you, to make yourself mas ter of Colonial Affairs, and that you will still become their Ad vccate as long as they continue their allegiance to the Parent State, to which, I must reluctantly confess, I think they own het very little affection." FOR Till SUN. MP. EDITOR—A man who was married a the end of March 1821, when it came in, accord lag to the old proverb, like a lion, and wen out like a lamb, could not help remarking on the difference of the same month in the pre sent year, when it came in like a lamb, and went out like a lion. He took it to heart as a reflection upon his own unhappy state, as in the blindness of love he had mistaken a lion for a lamb ; and then burst forth in a long jeremiade -upon the bitterness of marriage, in its nature so opposite to charity which hides a multitude of Sins, while marriage not only reveals but aggra 7e.tes them ; and therefore it is called a country no stranger settles in, and its natural inhabitants aerazild with all their hearts be banished from Whose fault, however, is it but his own, if he will not open his eyes to what all the most stilp!d, even of his acquaintance, can see with half' an eye ? If he will wink, when he might look straight forward, he must pay for winking ; and, pezhaps, after all, he may only be looking on ore side now, clear sighted as he thinks him self. There may be something of the old ADAM lurking in him : he may be too harsh now, as he was before too tender, upon his better half; and may he -guilty of the same offence with ADAM, who in the most .sneaking, dastardly spirit, worthy only of the devil that betrayed him, laid the whole blame of his fall upon the lovely rib which his Maker had raised to be a helpmate for him, and • whom he could not accuse without accusing part 61himself, from whence she was taken. Pesldes, let the married man consider that When he took his wife for better or worse, she ' • might have been a lamb, but that from bad usage under his hands, from too much indulgence, or peevish opposition on mere trifles, she may have become that lion which the slothful are said to meet in the streets, and which the foolish husband Tight to expect for his folly to meet at home. To such a fool in his folly the best answer, next to the contempt of sileoce, may be the por trait of himself; for' such men are commonly iike.NARC“§USI delighted with looking at their own sweet pictures, when they will not take the . .trouble to look any where else. A young lover desired a painter to draw HYMEN more beautiful • than A:notirs, with a flambeau in his hands, more brilliant than Love ; and promised to pay him handsomely if he would give the portrait all-the charms of the imagination. The painter com plied with his wishes, and brought -it to him the • night before his marriage. But he was far from satisfied with the figure—it wanted a spirit and air, a certain .7 . 3 tie sais quoi,—which dwelt only in his own imagination. ! says the painter, it is not yet dry : I will bring it back some months hence, a very few months, and then I prnmise you it will do. Soon after he appeared again, and the young husband, quite astonished, .said, you promised that Time should mend the picture, and it has ; yet I must tell you that its • looks are somewhat of the gayest—the eyes too brisk—the twit ensemble too deborznaire, &c. — .It is nut my picture, replied the painter, but only your imagination that is •changed : then you were a lover, now you are a hUSband. I will give you another to suit both lover and husband ; and he placed it at the end of a long gallery, the passage to which. was by a slippery step. — On this side, says he, is the critical spot on which • z , it looked so lavely—but beyond, it appears quite triste and melancholy. . If the giddy and the foolish will pass over this - slippery step, who can wonder at the faux pas but do not let them add insult to injury, and blame the very person who might still have been happy if it were not for them—nor lampoon marriage as the-triumph of Hope against Hope, merely because in their particular case they have proved themselves those fools of whom there can be no hope, whether t;ita . gle or married ; and who seem in whatever state to live Eke bachelors, " in Nature's despite"—self-tormentors.

THE SUN. SOLE? QUIS DICERE 17.11.511,11 AUDEAZ' LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL, 9, 1822. We received this morning the Paris Papers, and yesterday Mails from Holland and Flanders arrived, from which we give extracts in a pre ceding column. We are still without any deci sive intelligence with respect to the actual com mencement of hostilities, though rumour states that some skirmishing Vas taken place on the Pruth, and the tenor of the articles we have in serted renders such an event very probable. The French Farads continue to fall, as well as every other Continental paper, which can only be ac counted for by the general impression that war I consider it my duty to invite the attention of the Congress to a very important subject, and to communicate the sentiments of the Executive p 4, it, that should Congress entertain shrill , lar sentiments, there may be such co operation between the two departments of the Gevernment as their respective rights and duties may require. The revolutionary rr.ovemeitts in the Spanish provinces attracted 'the attention, and excited tite gym. pathy, of our fellor.Lcitizens. . From its commencement this feeling was natural cztl honourable to them, from causes which need not be communicated to you.—lt has been gratifying to all to see the general agreement which has been manifested in t he policy which the constituted authorities have deemed it proper to pursue in regard to this contest. As soon as the . . movement assumed such a steady form as to make the suc cess of the provinces probable, the rights to which they were entitled by the • la* of nations, as equal :parties to a civil war, were extended to them. Each party was permit ted to enter our - ports with its public - and private ships, and to take from them - every article which was the subject of commerce • with other nations. Our citizens also carried on commerce with both parties, and the Government has protected it with each in articles not contraband of war. Through the whole of this contest the United States have remained neutral, and have fulfilled with the utmost impartiality all the obliga :ions incident to that character. This contest has now reached such a stage, and been attended with such decisive success on the part of the provinces, that it merits the most profound cor.- sideration whether their right to the rank of independent na, tions, with all the advantages incident on it, in their inter• course witlr the United States, is not complete. Buenos Ayres assumed the rank by a formal declaration in 1816, and has enjoyed it since 1810, free from invasion by the parent covintry. The Pro , ;inco composing the Republic of Columbia, after having repeatedly declared their independence, were united by a fundamental la* of the 17th December, 1819. A stron; Spanish force occupied at that time certain parts of the territory within their limits, and waged a destructive war; that force has since been repeatedly defeated, and the whole of it either made prisoners, or destroyed or expelled ft-cm the country, with the exception of anlinconsiderable proportion which is blockaded in two fortresses. The Provinces in the Pacific have likewise been very successful. Chili declared independence in 1818, and has since enjoyed it undisturbed ; and of late, by the assistance of Chili and Buenos Ayres, ~the revolution has extended to Peru. —Of the. movement, in Mexico, our information is less authentic, but it is distinctly understood that the new Govern ment has declared its independence, and that there is now no opposition to it there, no a force to make any. For these last three scars the Government of Spain has not sent a single corps of troops to any part of that country, nor is there reason to believe it will send any in future : thus it is manifest that all these provinces are in the full enjoyment of their inde- pendence. • • When the result of such a contest is manifestly settled, the new Government have a claim to recognition by other Powers, which ought not to be resisted. Civil wars often excite feelings which the parties cannot controul. The opinion entertained by other Powers as to the result may assuage these feelings, and promote an accommodation between them useful and honour able to both. The delay which has been observed in making a decision on this important subject will, it is presumed, have afforded an unequivocal proof to Spain, as it must have done to other Powers, of the high respect entertained by the United States for her rights, and of her determination not to interfere with them. .The Provinces belonging to that hemisphere are our neighbours, and have successively, as each portion of the country acquired its independence, pressed their recognition by appeal to facts not to be contested, and which ' they thought gave them a just title to it ; but to motives of interest this Government has invariably disclaimed all preten sions, .being resolved to. take no part in the controversy, or other measures in regard to it, which should not merit the sanc tion of the civilized world. It was incumbent on this Government to look to every import ant fact and circumstance on which a sound opinion could be formed, which has been done. From th 4 px4sent condition of the parties, and the utter inability of Spain to produce any change in it, we are compelled to conclude that its fate is settled, and that the Provinces which have declared their independence, and are in the enjoyment of it, ought to be recognized. Of the views of the Spanish Government on this subject no particular information has been lately received, nor has any authentic infOrniation been recently received of the disposition of other powees respecting it. A sincere desire has been che rishedto'at,.:in'epheert with them in the proposed recognition, of which several were some time past duly apprised; but it was understeiod they were not prepared for it. The immense space between these powers and these provinces makes the movement an affair of less interest and excitement to them than to us. It is probable, therefore, that they have been less attentive to its progress than we have been. It may be pre sumed, however, thP.t the late events will dispel all doubt of the result. In proposing this. measure it is not contemplated to change thereby, in .tho slightest manner, our friendly relations with either of the parties, but to observe, in ail respects, as hereto fore, should the war be continued, the most perfect neutrality between them. Of this friendly disposition, an assurance will be given to the Government of Spain. Washington, March 8. JAMES MONROE. Washington City Gazette.--It is currently reported that the Government of France has dispatched a Charge d'Affaires to Carracas, for the purpose of recognizing the independence of Colombia; it is not certain therefore, even if Congzess promptly acquiesce in the President's recommendation, that weshali be the first to do so. France may have preceded us in the holy work. A. Jamaica Mail arrived this morniug, with Papers to the 20th February. They contain nothing of importance. IRELAND.—There is no intelligence this morn ing respecting the disturbances, of any import ance. A rralee Paper mentions the arrival of a cargo of 100 tons of potatoes, sent by Mr. Do- NOVAN, of Devonshire. The vessgl was consigned to Mr. DONOVAN'S brother in Tralee, who hu manely resolved-on selling them to the working classes at cost price. The relief was very sea sonable to the town and neighbourhood. The notice we bestowed lately on a pamphlet called The Elector's Remembrancer, was per haps more full than the merits and importance of such a production could justly dernan;l, but we were willing to avail ourselves of the opportunity it afforded, tc exhibit in . a . cleiir light the species of censorship which some persons are desirous s inevitable. Letters from Lisbon of the 19th.ult. contain the following important intelligence : In the Sitting of the Cortes of that day, the Committee of Twelve, appointed to take into consideration the state of the relations between Portugal and Brazil, made their report, which was unanimously agreed to. The report is of the following tenor, and was officially made public in Lisbon on the same day :- 1. That orders be dispatched, directing the Prince Royal not to leave Rio Janeiro, and to remain there until the general organization of the kingdom of Brazil be completed. 2. • That the Provincial Junta being inconsistent' with his re sidence in that province, he shall not install it there. 3. That he shall cause to be executed the decree.for:the abo lition of the tribunals simultaneously or successively, according to its intention, and -particularly in the latter way with respect to the Junta of Commerce, .he immediate extinction -of which appears to be very inconvenient. 4. That it shall be declared that the Junta of Finance of 'the provinces of the kingdom of Brazil is subordinate to the Pro vincial Junta, and must have for its Chairman one of the mem bers of the latter Junta. 5. That the Commander of the armed force of each of the provinces shall be subordinate to the Provincial Junta, of which, however, he shall he a member, and in which he shall have a vote, but only on military questions. G. That the plan of the decree respecting the commercial re lations, which the committee considers one of the strongest bonds of the union, shall be discussed, and immediately re fert-ed. to the provinces of the kingdom of Brazil. In it the Brazilians will not discovpr a single article which does not correspond with the most perfect equality and reciprocity ; but, on the contrary, will be convinced that the Congress treats Brazil as a true friend and brother. 7. That the bases of the financial system to be established for both nations shall be specified, dividing the charges into those which are general for the whole union, and into those which are particular for each branch thereof. It.shall be de clared that the • particular charges shall be :defrayed by those interested therein ; and the general charges, such as the dota tion of the Royal Family, the expenses of diph«natic agents, of the navy, and of extraordinftries for war, shall be borne by both kingdoms. 8. That the past debt of Brazil be delayed national debt. 9. That the debt contracted by the Bank of Brazil be classed as public debt, and that sufficient loans be immediately as signed for the support of that useful establishment. /0. That it shall be intimated; iu clear and enegetic terms, to the provinces of the kingdom of Brazil; that the Congress has never decided on conceding to that kingdom one or two delegated centres of executive power, to obviate the inconve niences of the great distance of that kingdom from this ; those provinces remaining immediately subordinate to the executive power, in such manner as is requisite for the preservstion of their tranquillity and interests. Finally, that the Congress, once for all, saving the principle of union, Will not dispute respecting the concession of whatever may be proper for the better and more prompt administration of the Constitution in • Brazil ; that additional articles shall be forrned, which shall then be discussed, it being expected that by that time the Deputations from Brazil, which are yet wanting, will have arrived. The Brazilians may, however, be assured, that if these Deputies do not arrive P 4 the time indicated, the discussion will not on that ac count be delayed; and toe provinces which in consequence of their remissness shall have taken no part in this arrangement, cannot on that account be exempted from obedience, seeing that they have previously . reesignised the unity of the two Por tuguese hemispheres ; and this it never can be admitted as a principle in politics that the veto of one province should render inefficient the proceedings of the representatives of the whole nation. With regard to the European troops now in Brazil, the Com mittee are of opinion, that they should only be withdrawn when the circumstances of tie provinces render their longer continu ance there unnecessary, it being in the power of the Govern ment to order them to withdraw, when such a course shall ap pear proper, after taking the opinion of the provincial Juntas. New York Papers arrived this morning to the 17th of March. [From ae Zvra,tic.ral /7:telliger4er.] The following Mr.ssAGr. was yesterday (March 8,) transmitted by the PRESIDENT to the liousE Of REPRESENTATIVES : [A2STRAC.T.I iti transmitting to the liousz of ittepl-4sentatives the documents called for by the rtsJiutioa of that House of the 30th Jantlary, of instituting in these days, for the purpose of abridging, if not abolishing, the discretionary power with which the Constitution invests those who sit in the House of Commons as represent atives of the people. We should be sorry to see I the time when public opinion should cease to ope rate as a check upon the popular branch of our Legislature; but on the other hand we can perceive only mischlof hnd disorder in the attempt to reduce members from the office of senators to that of simple proxies,—frona the station of re sponsible and confidential functionaries to that of mere instruments and obsequious carriers of mes sages. Supposing that the popular will could be distinctly and decidedly signified on all ques tions, would not the House of Commons be vir tually abolished, if the expression of that will were to be the law of its proceedings on every separate occasion ? We know that the supposi tion is absurd, and , The Elector's Remembrancer will supply some apt exainples,of the indecency, injustice, and inconsistency, that would result from an attempt to bring such a system into prac- Nothing, as we have already observed, can he more arbitrary than the plan adopted in this pub lication, of condemning or acquitting Members by heir votes, or failure to vote on some half dozen subjects, and that only when the newspapers or reports happen to furnish lists of the majorities and minorities. Ent even this test is occasionally departed from for the purpose of blackening an enemy ; thus Members are set down as having voted rather against Ministers than for the QUEEN; and one gentleman, although it is confessed that he actually supported " most of Mr. liumE's motions," is declared to be " more tenacious of property than of freedom." Is the test then bad, or he who applies it unjust ? We answer, both• The compiler betrays, in many instances, all that partiality which is to be expected from so violent a writer. He applies terms of the most un courteous censure to Members not in favour, if they have a habit of absenting themselves from the . House ; upon this subject his maxim is cc He that not for us is against us." Yet Sir FRANCIS Bt , aDETT and Mr. BROUGHAM, whose names do nog invariably appear upon the division lists, even when questions of high importance are befo're the House, entirely escape reproof ; and the writer condescends to make apologies for some Opposition Members, on account of age, or ill health, or the illness of near relations. Many distinguished ornaments of the House are dis_ missed with the laconic Note " in office," and a memorandum of the part they took on the Ca tholic Question, as if their 'being in place rendered them unworthy of any further remark ;' and in deed the word Placeman is declared to be a term so disreputable that the compiler will not, except on one occasion, sully his page by writing it down• Yet Mr. COURTENAY, (very justly we believe, but not very consistenly on the part of this writer) is eulogized in his official capacity, his salary is defended, and Mr. Baouonam is reproved for his ignorance in attacking it ; and again, Dr. PHILLIMORE is eagerly justified for having ac cepted of a place at the India Board, with a sti pulation " that his professional pursuits are not to be sacrificed." The individual stigmatized by the term Placeman is Mr. WARREN - , who is also branded as " a notorious rat to boot," and this last reproach is urged against the Solicitor- General in words which it probably would not be safe, and we are sure it would not be decent, to repeat. But in the case of a Mr. LANGSTON, member for Woodstock, who, it seems, ratted from the Ministerial side, desertion becomes a subject of praise. " We have been given to understand," says the Remembrancer, " that when thiS 'Gentle man entered the House he was disposed to side with Ministers. He is therefore the more highly to be praised for having sacrificed his prejudices, instead of obstinately resisting the convictions forced on him by nearer acquaintance with their principles and conduct." The coarse familiarity with which this writer dictates to Members, and reflects upon theircon. duct, -is a feature of the work strongly illus trating the spirit in which such productions are sent forth. The pertness of the strictures occa sionally becomes ludicrous. " Lord CLIFTON votes well, but should attend oftener." " Mr. O'CALLAGHAN attends very well." " J. CALCRAFT should be more frequent in jas attend ance." " Lord ALTHORP is a very attentive Member." (From the tone of these remarks, as well as from the common-place Greek and Latin quotations scattered through the work, and, above all, from the writer's admiration of Mr. Hoinouse's speeches, we should guess this pam phlet to be the production of some country schoolmaster.) One or two Members are con demned as Ultra Royalists. Of Mr. MARTIN of Galway it is said—" This man plays the buffoon too much, but he has one good point ; we respect him for his humanity." Mr. WILBERFORCE is thus dismissed—" Really, Mr. WlLEtaroacc, should you die to-morrow, we should say, it is well, pray do not drop your mantle in your fligh.. heavenwards." The Remembrancer affects to be very nice on the point of gentlemanly conduct, and promises never to wound any. person's feel ings unnecessarily. We must therefore suppose that he .was necessitated to go out of his way in more than one instance for the purpose'of attack- ing Lord STO - vi ELL ; to observe of a Member for Devonshire, " It is a great treat to this young man to be shaken by the hand by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY ;" and to reprobate the silence of the Cathedral bells at Durham en a mo mentous occasion, for the sake of notic ing by name the individual " who poihted out this gentlemanly way of giving vent to Church spite, on the birth of an heir to Mr. LAMBTON." We do not perhaps comprehend all the turpitude of the offence, but we think the criminal might have been lashed elsewhere than in the " Elector's Remembrancer.'• We have always understood_ one of the great characteristics of a perfect Utopian Parliament to be the absolute independence of every Mem ber, the liberality enjoyed by all of voting on each subject acording to their consciences.— The• Remembrancer undeceives us. A repre sentative, it seems, must go every length with his party (unless indeed that party should be the Ultra Royalists), or he shall scarcely escape condemnation. Thus one of the Members for Somersetshire is believed to have the principles of a patriotic English Gentleman ; it is added, how ever, that he " votes well, except when the cha racters or conduct of SomeNetshire Magistrates, or Somersetshire gaolers, is in question." Lord STANLEY is commended, with a similar exception. ,If the Reader would know what is meant by voting well, the answer is very simple. It means supporting Messrs. HUME and CRLEvEY on every division. They are " the Castor and Pollux of the political arena" !!! " To be " one of Mr. HUME'S phalanx " is a title which, it seems, even Mr. BENNET may be proud of; and one of the principal compliments paid Mr. BROUGHAM (we hope he wilt duly value it) is that he unintermit tingly supported Mr. BUMF during last Session!! The having seconded, or failed to second, this Gentleman's exertions is in fact one of the prin cipal topics of praise or censure throughout the pamphlet; for instance, Mr. MILBANK is " a very . good Member—one of the few who was alwaNs in his place to support Mr. Humc." CHAMBERLAYNE " voted very well when he at tended, but only divided on one . of Mr. HUME'S motions." Mr. MILDMAY " votes well in ge neral, but should support Mr. liumc." With regard to Mr. IlumE himself, his very blunders are worshipped ; and it is boldly declared that " if he were to err on almost every occasion, it would not detract from. his claims to public gra titude.". Mr. CREEVEY is joined with him in honour, for " it would be invidious and unjust to say more in praise of one tlian the otber."— We think so too. On the score just alluded to, their titles to public gratitude are nearly ba lanced, and when Castor takes stone- walls for men of war, and Pollux discovers Demerara to be an island, it would require nicer calculators even than themselves to decide which claims the larger share of national esteem and admiration ! The exposure of this paltry pamphlet will shew our Readers what the public would have to expect, if Parliament allowed itself to be pe riodically and at short intervals subjected to that kind of revision and schooling which our Radica!st are exerting themselves to bring into fashion, and to establish as matter of customary right. If the - L principles and practices illustrated by the Elec tor's Remembrancer were suffered to prevail, it were better that the apparatus of Representation should be at once dismissed, and the aye or no of " the People" be declared upon every questioli, without ceremony or loss of time, by the Blue coat boys who draw the Lottery. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. Seveial letters have been received this morning from Odessa dated the 12th of ' March, one of which states that the Trea surer, merchant vessel, had arrived there in three days from Constantinople, by which letters had been received date. the Bth, informing them that every thing was tranquil, and that strong hopes were entertained that peace would still be maintained betwixt Turkey and Russia. Though these let ters mention nothing in confirmation of the Russian vitiata tune having been rejected by -Turkey ; still they can by no means be considered as a proof -that that event has not taken place, and it is most prabable that their opinion of pes.ce being maintained, is founded on the impossibility of the Di van's complying with the terms of the Rassian Uitimatiaaa and the hope that the Emperor of RUSSIA may be induced to modify them. Few can doubt that the Divan has rejected the terms offered for an accommodation ; but still there is a hope that Russia may for the present forego her ambitious designs,. and not become the aggressor, it being understood that the Porte only means to defend herself in the event of being attacked- Accounts from Hamburgh of the 2d curt and from St. Peters burgh of the 15th March, have been received. At the former 'city, sales of ail kinds of foxeigen securities were extremeli dull, in consequence of large orders having been received from Vienna and Frankfort, to sell, and a dechnenf 3 to 4 per cent had taken place in their value. On the contrary, Saltpetre had advanced Is. and 2s. British, and was much inquired after- Coffee had fallen at the rate of nearly ss. per cwt. and Sugat were also lower. The Exchange on London •at two morale', was 36 4. aq a and paper on Vienna was as much in demand , 'at 1461, short dates. Gold, 'lOl/,. and the 'interest of money 2 per cent —At St. Petersburgh the Exchange has fallen to 95 a 9-9-16 on London. The 6 per cent. paper loan was 102 ; the 6 per cent. silver loan 91. The Exchange on Hamburgh , 8-23-32, and on Paris, 99,i 100. The Agio on Gold, 389, and on Silver 375. At the Stock Exchange, on Saturday, muea agitation was observed amongst those Gentlemen who usually go for an advance, and the Consols closed 'tit 78;}, being fullY I per cent. under their opening price. This day they open ed •at 79, in consequence .of the daunts entertained by some . speculators of the rejection of the Russian Ultimatum by Tuekey. Still, however, confidence could not be restored, and notwithstanding the assistance reeeli'ed by the pacific natura of the Odessa letters, this price could not be maintained, and they finally closed at 781 A very- powerful party, who tiave the, best means of information,. airplay great anxiety sell. Foreign Funds have declined in a greater propor tion than the English. The Spanish. Bonds are scarcely saleable at 66. The French Fives on Saturday were done at 86, and to-day at 87. In Pails, on Saturday, they vre'° at CV: 59c. and closed at 87f. 25e. The transactions in them are, however, so limited, that prices may be consider ed as only nominal. Neapolitan., Pressiaa and Danish 80n4 9 are without any demand whatever. The West India trade 1 5 very dull, notwithstanding all, the assurances received front tilt highest quarter of the prosperity of commerce.
