LONDON, NIONDAY, A,*u. 11, 1845.

The Paris Papers of Friday are filled chiefly with dis-
sertations on subjects of donustie interest. The proceed-
ings in the Chamber of PeptitLs on the two preceding
days, were quite unimportant. Among other reports, by
which the Paris Stec!: Exchange has been agitated, it was
confidently stated that a telegraphic despatch had ecn
transmitted to the French Government, announcing the
sudden death of the King of ENGLAND.

The evacuation of Spain is no lengcr doubtful. The
movement of the French troops began on the 2d instant.
The places in which French garrisons will remain are
Fampeluna and St. Seharrian, in the North, Figueras and
Barcelona, in Catalonia, and Cadiz in the South. Madrid
will be occupied by two Swiss re,;iments. The disgrace

sailing onwards in an uninterrupted career of success ; but
as we have already, we hope, satisfied the curiosity of our
readers with samples of the mendacity of the official intel-
ligence of the Madrid Gazette, we do not feel disposed to
give currency to the useless fabrications we have now be-
fore us. The Viceroy LA SERN A, who, according to his
latest honour, is styled Conde de Los ANDES, gives a
pompous account of the preparations he was making for
the campaign, which he intended to direct in person against
" the rebel Bouvisa," over whom he hoped to triumph
" as in the glorious campaign of 1823 over the insurgent
Chief SANTA CRUZ." Unfortunately for LA SEAN A'S
boasting, he has, since he penned these despatches, found
Borman a very different person from SANTA Cauz. The
Viceroy little suspected how soon he and his valorous troops
would be in " the rebel Bo I.lv aa'i' custody. These des-
patches, which seem to be published now only to magnify the
glory of the Patriot victors, state, that after thej unction of L •
SKIINA and VALDEZ with CA NTARAC, the KING'S army
consisted of 14,000 veteran troops, well disciplined, with
several regiments of cavalry, of which the Revolutionists
were sail to be destitute. The Madrid Gazette concludes
in excrlle•rs kecptu;, with stating the contents of a letter
of the 12th November from Quilcs, "written by a French
Captain," in which he affirms that a report was then current
that General Vaunt had defeated the vanguard of the
r.:!lel army, commanded by General Secas !" It is really
iniliossible to go beyond this, unless (at which we should
not he surprised) the next Gazette should contain the
official despatches of LA SEINA, announcing the capitula-
tion of Bourse and the rebel army, and the universal
restoration of the Royal authority.

The question of the Spanish loan is, we believe, sub-
stantially decided at this moment, and the result will be
known by the arrival of the next express from Madrid.
We say substantially, because some time will elapse before
the propositions can be formally accepted, and the contract
definitively concluded ; but in all probability the terms
will be settled by the information communicated by the
next messenger. The propositions on each side have
approximated so nearly, that there can be little
doubt of an agreement having been obtained. In this case
the bonds of the Cortes will be acknowledged at thirty
with interest. This is lower than we had expected, and we
think the contractors do unwisely in conceding so much to
the prejudices of the Spanish Court. The success of the
whole transaction will be exposed to great hazard. That
the negociation will terminate with a contract, however,
there is every reason to expect. There is, we repeat for
the twentieth time, no invincible repugnance in FERDI.•
NAND to admit the bonds. The only question for some
months has been at what rate they should be received.

We have received Barbacloes Papers to the 18th of
February, from which we make the following extracts:—
[From the Barbadoes Globe, February 171
Yesterday morning arrived his Majesty's ship Eger's, 26 days
from Plymouth, last from Madeira, having on board 2 Commis.
sinners and 2 King's Messengers, destined for. South America.
The mail boat Mary, which arrived yesterday, passed Guadaloupe
on the 10th instant, and Martinique on the 12th instant. Saw
lying at the firmer place a 38 gun frigate ; at St. Fine, a 62 gun
ship, and a 22 gun corvette ; at Fort Royal, 1 line of battle ship, 1
vessel of 64 guns, 2 small frigates, and 2 brigs.

- [From the Barbadian of 15th Feb.]
An ordination was held on Sunday last by the Lord Bishop of
Barbedoes, at the cathedral and parish church of St. Michael,
when Mr. Mark Thomas, lately from England, was ordained
Deacon, and the Rey. Bryan Morse (son of the late Eooch Morse,
Esq. of this island), lately arrived from Demerara, was ordained to
the priesthood. An excellent and well adapted ordination sermon,
describing the origin and progreas of the Christian church, and the
several offices of the ministry, and exhorting the ministers and
people to a due performance of their respective duties, was preached
by Archdeacon Parry. The very, numerous congregation assembled
on the occasion were gratified by witnessing a ceremony perfectly
novel in this part of the world, and of a highly interesting and
impressive character.
The Lord Bishop of this Diocese has been pleased to appoint
John Chase Eversley, Esq. to the office of Episcopal Registrar.
Sir Henry Warde has left the Island of Barbadoes one tour of
inspection of the garrisons in the Leeward Islands. J. B. Skeet,
Esq is sworn into the administration of government.
The execution of D'Egville, convicted of the murder of his
wife, took place yesterday in the jail-yard. He expressed great
contrition for the sins of his past life, but persisted to the last
moment In declaring his innocence of the crime for which be was
about to suffer. _ _ _

The Rev. Uri Warn Marshall Hart, Rector of the parish of St.
Lucy. and the Rev. J. B. Pindar, A.M. are appointed Domestic
Chaplains to the Lotd Bishop of this diocese.
(From the Barbadian of February 4.]
The Clergy of this island waited upon the Lord Bishop on
WedLesday last at his residence (Gibraltar), when Mr. Garnett,
the Senior Rector, read an address, congratulating his Lordship on
his appoit.iinent to the See of Barbadoes, and his arrival amongst
us. To their address his Lordship replied in an extemporaneous
effusion, with considerable feeling, acd in so gracious a manner
as to aflOrd the highest gratification to the Reverend Gentlemen.
His 11a)esty's yacht Herald, Captain Lecke, sailed yesterday
morning for Jamaica, with the Lord Bishop of that Diocese and
suite, and would, we understand, touch at Martinique.

CITY. SATURDAT EVLWIXO.

The holidays have been kept up throughout the week,
and there was as little business doing to-day on the Stock
Exchange as oa any pre•cetlint• one of the week.
In the English Market, Consols were at yesterday's
prices, :end the transactions for money and time did not
vary, viz. 931 i. The business in this Market is now at all
times so limited, that settling days are not much thought
of. Ilowtver, the Jobbers and Brokers are making up their
accounts for next Tuesday; the differences must be very
trifling.
Ite the Foreign Market there was but little variation
from yesterday's prices, with the exception of Spanish
Bonds, which rose considerably; the old ones being done
at 2Sil, and those of 1823 at hs 101. Greek Scrip may
M. be quoted at 41 discount, and the Bonds at SM. In
South American Securities there were scarcely any trans-
actions, and the prices as compared with yesterday rather
languid. Colombian Bonds were bO4, and Mexican Scrip
if. Brazilian Scrip was 2H, and Danish 211 discount.
In the Share Market there were a few bargains in Pasco
Peruvian at 17, and in Anglo-Mexican at loeb 105; but
the great proportion of the business done in this Market to-
day was in the Rio de la Plata Company's Shares, which
went off lightly at 51 61.
Sev..ral new Companies for Agricultural Purposes were
announced this morning, viz. a Halifax and Nova Scotia,
a Mexican and a South American Association. The capi-
tal of the latter is stated at five millions. A Ship Building
Company and an Atiglo-Peruvian Mining Association are
also talked o".

'fire private bargains in the Colonial Market this morn-
ing confirm, as far as they go, what we stated yest'rday as
to the probability of improved prices there next week.

The Rapid, which has arrived at Liverpool, from Mon-
tego Bsy, from which she sailed on the 23d of February,
brings accounts that apprehensions were entertainA for the
safety of the packet from Carthagena to Kingston, a
vessel having arrived at the latter port, which sailed from
the loaner nine days after the packet.
Letters from Demerara, dated the 26th February. have
been received. They state that the Colony still suffered
severely from excessive drought. Such a succession of
sultry weather had not been experienced for twenty years:
the crops were absolutely burnt up. The report as to the
public defaulter is confirmed, but we are happy to say the
amount is not so great as was previously reported.
appears to be abundant in Paris, if one may
judge from the extensive buildings now going on there.
New streets arc forming every where that land was to be
had. In a back street near the Boulevard de la Madeleine,
a piece of ground has recently been purchased for 1,700,000
franc., which twelve years ego was sold for 200,000. In
the Champs Elysees the rise-hes been still greater—a piece
of I Ind which, twenty years ago, sold for about 2COI.
sterling, last week fetched T3,',09!.
