We 'have received a file of the EC(' de Ms 'Amid, a paper pub-
lished at Mendoza, a city at the toot of the Andes, and also a
copy of the first Message of the Governor to the Legislative As-
sembly of the province—one of the United Provinces of Buenos
Ayres. The political articles in the papers inculcate the most
I liberal principles, and many of them have in vie* the free tolera-
tion of religious opinions. The Governor in his message congra-
tulates the Assembly on the state of the public Enauces, and on
the generally improving condition of the country.

CITY, 1110,SDAT EVENING.

The transactions In the English Funds were not extensive this
morning, but the prices continued steady. Consols for the open.
ing were folf j. in the early part of the day, and they left off at
I. The Reduced Annuities were 91, 903 I.
In the Foreign Market there were very large purchases made In
Spanish Securities ; the interest respecting which appears email,
to have increased since the rupture of the negotiation. The reason
of speculators purchasing under these circumstances, must be the
conviction, that fERDINAVD'S necessities will cause him to grant
any terms that the capitalists here may think tit to demand, and
consequently that the Bonds will ultimately be recognised ro the
full. At the conclusion of the market, they had considerably Im-
proved. The old ones closed at 22j, and the new at 17. Greek
Scrip was again materially depressed, being 11 i discount all day.
The Bonds were 18i ; South America?' Securities were a shade
worse; Colombian Bonds, 871 8; and Mexican Scrip, 21 j dis-
ceunt ; Brazilian Scrip was 3 A discount; and Danish do. 3,2 i
discount. The new French Rentes were quoted at 781.

can Company's Shares were 25, 7 ; the new Potosi Shares were 61 ;
the General Mining Shares were 11, 12 ; and thine of the Paseo
Peruvian Association, 141.
A new Company, called the Tywarnhall Mining Association,
was in the market to-day, the Shares of which were at 2, lt
premium.

There is a report that an Austrian Loan is soon forthcoming.
The letters by the Lisbon mail yesterday are to the 4th
of June, hut their interest Etas been supersetled by the last
arrival of Frenth Papers, which bring communications
from that capital to the Bth inst.
The Exmouth has arrived from Bedgil, hut the letters
and papers she brings are of an old date. The letters by
this vessel, from the Cape, are to the 21st April, but they
contain no political news; neither do the communications
from St. Helena, by the same conveyance, bring any intel-
ligence
of interest. 1
Co LOMBIA.—The following is a statement of the cargos
of the Vulture, from Puerto Cabello, which arrived on
Thursday at Liverpool. Such details as these supply inte-
resting information at the opening of a new trade:—
Indigo - - r.B scrons Cocoa . - 19 barrels
Cotton - a 214 ditto 1 Hides - . 50

Coffee - 811 bags Nicaragua Wood 30 tors.
A law has passed the Senate of Colombi., by which no
Colombian man who has not completed his 21st year, and
no Colombian woman, who has not completed her ISth
year, can conttact marriage without the express consent of
the father and mother.

The Lisbon papers received yesterday contain a notice
issued by the Secretary of Slate to certain parties, who
were anxious to gain the sanction of Government for the
importation of foreign corn, which conveys to them an an-
swer unfavourable to their wishes, observing, that such
importation cannot take place beyond the limits of the ex-
isting law.
Accounts have been received from Gibraltar, dated to

given official notice that the Spanish Government will al-
low 14 per cent. to all masters of vessels who will take

In the Amsterdam courant of Saturday there is a com-
munication from Smyrna, confirming the news that the
Egyptian fleet had been almost entirely burnt in the har-
bour of Modon. A Dutch brig was present and witnessed
the scene.

L.ttere from Trieste received yesterday state, that Nava-
rino had surrendered.• The intelligence was said to have
been brought from Corfu by an English frigate, which had
arrived there in seven days. We suspect that this is only a
reiteration of the groundless report which was explained
in the French papers a few days ago.
A letter dated Messina, June 1, says—" In consequence
of the alteration in the quarantine laws in England, vessels
arriving from thence are now subjected to twenty-one days
quarantine from the time/ of unloading the last package,

zaretto."

We have received Qaebce and Montreal papers to the
20th ult. The greatest rejoicings appear to have taken
place in all the British North American possessions, on re-
ceiving the intelligence of the free trade acts lately brought
into Parliament. At Halifax, and other places, the inha-
bitants waited upon the Governor with congratulations,
and celebrated the news by entertainments of every de-
scription. These Papers also mention, that a new coin for
the province is immediately expected from England. The
Commissariat has received orders to take 103/. sterling, in
British money, for every 100/. bill on the English treasury,
without reference to the rates of exchange.
STATE or TRADI.—A very considerable change of feel-
ing has taken, place in the Liverpool cotton market, and it
is now brisk at some improvement in price. Since Wed-
nesday, we understand that there has been a Emewhat
better demand both for goods and yarns ; but we do not
learn that any actual advance has been obtained. It is
said that there is again a considerable disposition to heavy
speculative buying, but this we are inclined to think would
be one of the worst things for the holders of cotton that
could take place ; for, unless the prices of goods and yarns
should rise (of which, generally speaking, there appears to
be but little prospect) so as to afford a profit on the price
to which such an operation would drive the raw material,
the certain effect of it will be to decide those spinners who
are now hesitating, at once to reduce their time of work-
ing. Since our last, msny other partial stoppages have
taken place. At Hyde, and the neighbourhood, the mills
are working four days a week ; and we believe at ararty all
tile factories in Stockport and Btayley Bridge a greater re-
duction has taken place.—Manchester Paper.
We have authority to state, that the report which ap-
peared in our paper of Saturday last, of a fine of thirty
thousand pounds being due to the present Bishop of Salis-
bury, is wholly without foundation.
It is privately mentioned at Morpeth, that an oppo-
sition will take place for that borough at the next general
