The French papers, which arrived last night, are quite
barren of intelligence. The Drapeau Diane, a journal
•v!:A is understood peculiarly to speak the sentiments of
NI. nr tr ar a, throws some doubt on the reported recog-
titian of the independence of Hayti. Considering the po-
sition of that island in the American Archipelago, the ques-
Cat:, in the opinion of the writer, becomes " entirely
European." He admits, however, that " nothing is more
to be desired for the mother country than an honourable
.and advantageous arrangement with St. Domingo. But,"
Le adds, " such an arrangement can only be the result of
a great system, in which other interests would be combined.
'l".te treaty will require much consideration, and above all,
a !toed understanding between the parties interested." The
oti:"r papers contain no allusion to the subject.

like Journal dr Parii states that the Austrian Govern-
ment is meditating a reduction of the interest of its public
debt, from to 4 per cent. Negotiations, it is said, have
been already opened nit!, Messrs. ROTIIIICII/L1), and other
capitalists, for a loan to pay off the dissentients.

The Morning- CArGaide labours with great zeal to justify
the exclusion of religious instruction from the projected
" London University." If any doubts arc stated as to the
propriety of this new plan of education, the party who
ventures to state them is charged with " hatred to the
education of the body of the people," and the public are
told,that " as it would not be altogether prudent to display
UM real motives of the dislike, a regard for religion is pre- tin', TUESDAY EVENING.

eels of which the disposal was rendered necessary from &cum.
stances. monied men holding their property in this article firmly
for a further advance in its value. Rum remains in much the

same situation as it was lux week. The extreme priors arc 3a. 3d.
to Is. U. per gallon. Fine quality finds a consumption at the
highest price; but at is very doubtful whether inferior qualities
can be profitably disposed of to rectiners, and there is consequently
only ►+demand for this description on speculation. The best qua-
lity of rum, with the protecting duty of Is. 3d. per gallon added to
its current price, is at present dearer than the best qualities of
neutral corn spirits, and consequently it cannot be used to ad-
vantage by the rectifier, and it is impossible to conceive bow
low quality of Rum can in any degree be presumed to pro.
duce rectified spirits in any manner equal in quality to the
pure spirit distilled from grain. The future value of Rum, however,
entirely depends on the future prices of spring corn. lithe harvest
be fine and abundant, low quality of Rum will find no consumption
amongst rectifiers, but should the barley crop be not large nor of sus
perior quality, its value must preclude the competition of corn spirit
with spirit produced by West India planters out of the refuse of
canes, after ell the valuable ma•ter luta been extracted from them in
the character of sup,. Speculators in Runts calculate on a short',
barley crop, and they have, at all events, a prospect that their hopes
will not be entirely disappointed, for on light lands, where the best
barleys grow, appearances are at present by no means favourable.
On the Stock Exchange a great deal of business has again been
done this day. Consols opened at 91F.,i for the next settlement, and
advanced to 91t1. Some heavy sales, however, afterwards caused
them to decline to 914, and theclosing price was the same as the
opening one. Money is again scarce, for which it is impossible to
assign avy cause. Exchequer 11.11* declined iron 465. to 335. pre.
mium—sorne supposing that sales of them were efiected with the
view to place the proceeds of them in money stock, as being a more
favourable investment at the present price; °then that scarcity of
money alone could arose this sadden decline in their value.

There is a coasideralat demand this day for the securities of the
new American Republics, and this demand fur them tuts been more
respectable sources than during tinny months. Celombian bonds
are )1 and 'Mexican bonds / per cent, dearer than they were yester-
day. The favourable news from Greece has caused an improve-
ment of one per cent in Greek strip. In other descriptions of Euro-
pean securities no alteration can be noted.

At present there is much inactivity in t►te market for the shares
of public Associations. So many attempts ate made to bring be.
fore the public names for Joint.stoek Companies, without any
other qualification. that the absurdity of them is hourly opening
the eyes of capitalists, and it is expected that soon nothing of this
description will find patrons, unless it be founded on correct prin.
cirles, and unless it be supported by gentlemen of known honour
and respectability. There ere many of these Associations whose
prospects are fair, if not brilliant; but they are injured by others,
which cannot survive more than one settlement of a time account,
and which have no other object in view than to pay a few hundred
pounds to those who have nerve enough to expose their characters to
such unwarrantable purposes. The evil is, however, rapidly pro.
ducing its own cure.

COLOMIIIA.—In one of the recent numbers of the Con-1
stiturional of Bogota, now lying before us, we observe a list
of persons eligible to serve as Jurors for that department
for the year 1625, from which we conclude that the system,
of Trial by Jury is now in active operation in that country.
The seamen at New Orleans have turned out for an ad-

We have great pleasure in noticing, by an advertisement
in an Exeter Paper, that on a requisition signed by the
Bishop of Exeter, the Dean, Precentor, Archdeacon, and,
Chancellor of that diocese, and several gentlemen of the
highest respectability, a meeting of the inhabitants of the,
city of Exeter has been convoked by the Mayor " for the
purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of form-
ing
a Committee in aid of the Society for promoting the
Enlargement and Building of Churches and Chapels. If
the example set by this learned and excellent Prelate were
generally followed, the Society would be able to continue
those valuable labours which at present, for want of funds,
it is compelled to suspend.

YELLOW FE v La.—One of the most important questions
for the public health, is to ascertain whether the yellow
fever be or be not contagious. A very interesting fact has
recently been mentioned on this subject in a Memoir pre-
sent... 4 to the Academy of Sciences by M. Costa. In the
presence of that learned assembly, M. Costa, who is of '
opinion, supported by Messrs. Lassis and Lasserre, that the
yellow fever is not contagious, has made a proposition
which proves how strongly he is convinced of the truth of
the cause he sustains. Ile desired, Ist, that the 31inister
for the Interior should give orders to have brought from
the Antilles, where the yellow fever generally rages, clothes
belonging to the persons who may have fallen victims to
that disease; 2d, that these clothes should be deposited in
boxes, hermetically sealed and sent to Marseilks, or some
whir part ; :Id, and lastly, that individuals in perfect health
should clothe themselv( s in these habiliments.; and wear
them for forty (lays under the most strict supermtendance
of a commission, composed ut• those physicians who may
be most convinced of the doctrine of contagion. Well
aware of the difficulty of finding men disposed to go
through this experiment, and desirous to show his agree-
ment in the opinion of Dr. Lassis, he proposes himself
along with Dr. Lasserre to be the objects of the experiment.

The Emperor Alexander has resolved that his Am-
bassador to the Papal See shall distribute the sum of 5,000
rubles annually among the best young Russian artists
studying at Rome. They are to copy the best paintings of
the Roman school. To indemnify the Crimea for the
asters which it has experienced, and to promote trade, the
duties on raw hides and pot-ashes have been considerably
reduced, for this year, in the ports of the Euxine and the
Sea of Asoff, and in Bessarabia. The gold sand, of which
large quantities are yearly obtained at and near Tekater-
inenberg, in Russia, contains, according to the latest ac-
counts, a metal hitherto unknown in Russia, which ap-

Du nu N.—At a Meeting of the Catholics of St. Audeon's
Parish, on Saturday last, some opposition was made to a vote
of thanks to Mr. O'Connell, on account of his -" advocacy
of the wings." Mr. O'Connell, in returning thanks, stated
that he never would have approved of the Bill fur pension-
ing the Clergy, if it had not received the sanction of two
of the most venerable and pious of the Roman Catholic
Prelates. Ile also declared that he would never again firing
forward or support such a measure, as he now felt convinced
its ciliTt would he to retard, rather than advance, the Catholic
iCause. This declaration was received with much applause;
and the Meeting, having returned thanks to the Chairman,
separated.

Sir Harcourt La‘s has addressed a letter to the Protest-
ants of Ireland, charging them, as they value his past
services, and look forward to his future support, not to have
any public procession on the ensuing 12th of July. " lf,"
says he " you should be mad enough to act in open de-

you will arm your enemies with the most deadly weapon
