Yesterday morning • courier was dispatched

A &ire.

Tire five per cents. yesterday declined about
one franc. The cause of this fluctuation in the
public funds is aitributed, to the rumours of war,
a which certain speculators had advice three days
!go; but the majority of the stock-jabbers were
ignorant of the fact until yesterdry morning.—

Yebterday several couriers .arrived from the
north. The definitive rupture of the negocintises
between Russia and the Porte was lost night an.
flounced as certain.—(

The
.intelligence• which we have received from
Frankfort gives consistency to the rumours which
have been in circulation on 'Change since Saturdsy
last, and which relate to some •ovements of the
Russian armies, which, it would sppear,- are pre-
ps ratory to the commencement of hostilities. It is
said that mdvices to this effect have been received
by the Anihasaidat of a great Power. All these
reports produced on intense sensation on 'Change
ye►terday ; the decline in the funds become
more sensible, because considerable, sales, it is
thought, were mode oo the account of Ger•so
bankers. It is almost needless to say, that a rise
in the funds announces peace, and that a decline
excites fears of war.—(Comstitutionnel.)

The !Montan Blanc contains the following arti-
cle :—" The Mayor of Thouars did not, as was
slated, proceed to Paris, but he has given in his
resignation." Such, it is said, is the state of the
town of Thouara, and the spirit which prevails
there, that that e►teemed magistrate did not think
he possessed sufficient power to do any gold. The
Government, it is supposed, will be obliged to send
an officer intrusted with higher powers to that
town.

Accounts from Tours, of March 30, announce
that two squadrons of Monsieur's carabineers have
passed through that city on their way to &maw,
where, in the course of • fortnight, they will be
joined by two more squadrons of the same regi-
ment, which are at Chatemittn. The Journal
erlndre and Loire also states that a considerable
number of officers have pissed through Tour.

The Courier de Ls Haste Marne, under the head
of Chaumont, March 30, says—" Some time since
• prisoner was conveyed to the central house at
Cleirvaut with tatraordinary precautions. It is
said he is guarded with particular care ; a prohibi-
tion has been issued against any person ap-
proaching the chamber in which he i. confined,
under a severe penalty, and the head gaoler alone
is allowed to communicate with him. It is thought
that he has not yet been tried, which is scarcely
probable, because, from the purposes to which the
house of Clairvaus was destined, those persons only
can be imprisoned there who have been condemned
by the Tnbuni,

' We hove received the following intelligence direct
from Fronk fori

MAacH It seems impossible that a war
between Russia mid the Porte ►hould not be the
result of the misunderstanding which has so long
prevailed between these Courtv, and which, not.
withstanding the united efforts of the other Powers,
appears every day to asinine • more serious chi-
ructer. In supposing an arrangement, how will it
be possible to indemnify Russia for the enormous
expenses that have been incurred, in assembling
and potting upon the war establishment her armies
on the banks of the Truth? It is known that
Russia insists upon this point, and this demand
cannot be satisfied but by the uccnpation of IVO-
lochil and lLluldavia.

MASCH 26.—" Oo Monday last. the 25th, we
witnessed an extraordinary commotion upon the
Exchange, which remained uctispied by the crowd
fur a lung time after the cloying of business.
Couriers had arrived at the house of the bunkers,
Betlnman and Rothschild. The intelligence which
they brought reformed secret. and cern this day it
coidinues to be • mystery•. Nothing is known ex-
cept that M. Swim Georges, the bruther-in-law of
M. Bethinan, tied set off immediately fur Paris,
and that courier* had been dispatched to Berlin,
Amsterdam, sod other cities. A panic was dif-

teed respecting the public funds, and Auto.

0 Oar political horizon has singularly deepened
in gloom during three days past. The Austrian
State paper continues to decline. The letters
which we have this day received from Vienna, if
they do not positively announce war, say that the
Maintenance of peace has become very problema-
tical. In fact, the last advice, from Constanti•
simple, transmitted to the Austrian Cabinet by the
liaperiah Interanacie, Canute De Latzow, intimate
that the partisans of war hive regained all their
' idloence is the Dtrld. - The pore end simple sc.
eeptetion of the Rossian 1./irimotarm by the Mean,
pap 'offers numberless difficulties. The catastrophe
of Ab Packs, of Janina, has iospired the Tanks
frith an infatuated confidence iu the success of
their aims. They think themselves invincible, and
breathe only. war against the Russians. Things
h•ve reached such a crisis, that we every moment
expect the news that have commenced.
We should not be surprised to hear that the Turks
are the first to commence a war, the consequences
of which will he so fatal to their empire.

" Austrian Generals are now reviewing the troops
of their nation which form the 'Cordon established
on the extreme frontier bordering the Ottoman
Empire. Some persons affirm that Austria will
make common enure with Ruuia. It is asserted
that the latter Power has made an important com-
murricatioss to the Cabinet of Copenhagen ; it is
thought to relate to the new connexinus which
Denmark has jurt formed with England. It sp•

in concert with Russia, with regard to all that con-
cerns the safety of the navigation o? the Baltic."--

FIA IMPORT, 11 ARCH 28.
Yesterday's advice, put au end to the doubts of
which Mir speculators had been the prey during
several days previously. Several of the principal
commercial houses of this town have received eats-
fears from Vienna, with the important intelligence
that the Porte has refused to accerle t• the demands
of Russia ; sod that all the negociations at Coo-
stantinople are broken off.

♦ILMpI. MAICII 23.

The negociations with Turkey appear to expe-
rience difficulties on the part of that Power winch
diminish the hopes so long entertained of the main-
tenance of peace. This state of affairs necessarily
has an influence on our funds. The metallic: fell
this day to 74 9.10 th ; Batik stock is 6691.
The reports relative to a naval engagement be.
tweeu the Turks and the Greeks are, as usual, ex-
tremely contradictory. A Greek captain, from
Lime, says lie saw the two fleets engaged on the
6th, near Chi4retuxe, which is ten leagues to the
south-west of Patras ; the Greek fleet corniced of
70 sail, end the Turkish of 66 ; the victory was un-
determined. Another Greek captain state*, that he
saw the Turkish fleet take refuge on the 311 of
March in the Gulf of Lepanto, to the north-east of
Petra% The dates and places do out coincide. We
mast emit for further accounts.
