new Spanish loan will be under the guarantee of France
for the first three yeah, during which period the French
will retain possession of Cadiz." Whether the French
Govenitnent will after all give this guarantee, we cannot, of
course, so yet know, lint it Is certain that they are taking a
very active and decided part in the negociation.
Advice, from Madrid, dated on the loth of March, re-
present the health of FESDINAND to be in a very dan-
gerous condition. The writer, who has good means of in-
formation, says—" The Kiso is kept alive entirely by the
skill of his physician, Dr. Caartito. The opinion in the
Palace is, that he cannot live another month. He is con-
sulted on no public affairs, because the slightest effort of
mind or body aggravates his malady. The Royal Trea-
sury meanwhile is exhausted, and the Government is car-
ried on from day to day, by miserable expedients, to which
a reputable tradesman in England would be ashamed to
res-rtrr• Young LUC/EN Mtaar is still lying in confine-
mentit Algeciras, buten° one dare speak of him to the

originating no one could tell whence or how,
ted yesterday respecting a pretended insurrection
or revolution in Mexico. We expect in the space of the
neat month to have several other reports of this nature.
The honest financial statement of the Mexican Minister,
Esv Iva, has excited the alarm of come timid and absurd
persons, who see in his frankness a sure symptom of dia.
honesty. On the fears of these people there will, for some
time to come, be artifices continually operating ; and as
this Is the settling day on the Stock Exchange, it was to
have been expected yesterday that some attempt would be

made to produce a depression in the Mexican Stock.
There was an interesting discussion last night in the
House of Commons, on the subject of the Quarantine
Laws. Mr. JOHN SMITH expressed his regret that the
Bill now before Parliament did not go the full length of
the doctrine of non-contagion. We agree perfectly with
Mr. WALLACR, that this subject is one that requires
much consideration, and therefore we would have the in-
quiry renewed at the earliest opportunity. Legislation, we
think, ought to keep pace with the progress of public
opinion, but never go far beyond it; and for that reason
we hold it the more desirable that those inquiries should
not be delayed, which in all probability would in their re-
sult convince the public that the dreaded danger is wholly
imaginary. All the weight of evidence is decidedly subver-
sive of the opinion that the plague is contagious. To us it ap-
pears that no proposition was ever more clearly established
than that the plague is simply an epidemic disease. Why
then, if this be so, should our commerce be burdened with
restraints to protect us against evils that do not exist ? Why,
at any rate, shcu'd not further inquiry take place to decide
whether we or those who diTer from us are in error? 'We
are not friendly to precipitate legislation, neither are we to
the continuance of absurd regulations, founded on ex-
plcded and mischievous pr. judiees.

CITY, WEDNZSDAT EVEWING.
In the English market, Consols maintained their price,
although very little business was doing in them. The
money bargains were done at 9314, and those for the April
account at 9317 j 4.
Whether it was in anticipatism of the settling day to-
monow, or from what other cause we do not know (for
certainly there arc no political reasons to produce it), there
was a gtneral glonm in the foreign market. Colombian
Bonds were at 194 ; Mexican Scrip was as low as pre-
mium. Nothing was doing in Brazilian Scrip. Creek
Scrip partook of the depression of the morning ; it was at
The Bonds rise 61 e. The Spanialt /lauds. both Old
and New, were a shade worse ; the former were done at
24 I, and the latter at 18. Danish Scrip was at / dis-

count.
The Share Market was also languid. The principal bu-
siness was in the Pearl and Coral Company. The Shares
in that speculation were done at 46, and for the account on
the ISth April at 19. Pasco Peruvians were at 19. The
Mea.ican Company was steady at 64 74, and the Shares in
the Peruvian Trading and Mining were done at 3.
Is the Colcnial Market there were 50 hogsheads of strong
coloury Jamaica Sugar sold at 69, and some low Jamaica
ditto at 63. There was no public sale of Coffee to-day.
The departure of the Emperor of Austria for Italy ap-
pears to be fixed for the sth or 6th of April. His Majesty
will stop at Clagenfurt, Goertz, Padua, and Verona. He
will not proceed to Mantua till the latter end of the
month.
We hear from Cadiz that on the 10th of this month, the
anniversary of the massacres ordered by General Cainpana,
alt the city went spontaneously into mourning, and that in
a brilliant concert, which was given in the evening of the
same day, not a single Spaniard was to be seen ; that
there was only there thirty-tour ladies, all belonging to
foreign families established at Cadiz. We also learn that,
besides the great works at which the French are at present
employed in the fort and island of Leon, they arc men-
pied in fortifying the coast from San Lucar to Algesiras.
I'he same letters which inform us of these things say, that
Cadiz daily losee a portion of its population, creating an
appearance of desolation.
Letters from Teflis, dated the 31st of January, inform
us, that on the 11th of that month a violent hurricane had
revagtd the coast of /ilingrelis. Its direction was from
west :o east. It was preceded by heavy rains, which
have completely inundated the country. The sea was dis-
turbed to its lowest depths. A Itussian corvette perished
in sight of the Retlontekalo. Of the crew of 145 men, 30
only have been saved : four officers are among the number
of the dead. Houses have been overturned, and trees torn
up by the roots. As the Black Sea is not frtquented at
tint 'season by large ships, there will not be S 3 many
w:.oks to lament as there otherwise would be.
Extract of a 'letter dated Bombay Ist November:—
" The crops of cotton at Bawnaghur, Porebunder, Mang-
role, and all the districts near Cutch, are entirely lost;
they had-no rains at all there, and people are coming daily
from thence in search of food. Surat, Broach, and Jam-
booster, it is stated, will produce about half the usual crop,
er 25,000 hales, and now common old broach cotton sells
here at 104 rupees per candy. The Upton Castle carriesl
home 500 bales cotton at 91. per ton, and will leave this by ,
the Ist of December. She has succeeded in getting pas-
v:igers to the extent of 40,000 rupees. The Katharine
Stewart Forbes will have seven guineas per ton for her cot-
ton, and she is engaged so take from the Government 1100'
bags of coffer, of 3051b5. each, at 71. per ton, and will sail
ftetn hence in all January."
'f he trial o, Fort was continued on Sunday in the Court
of Assizes in Paris. The remainder of the witnesses were
heard. They all of them spoke to the probity and hentour
of the prisoner; but some of them represented bin as
having violent passions, and on an instance being given,
he admitted the truth of it. No material facts were proved,
r:lithe pleadings were put off till the following day.
Trfk soNAr•ITz FAMILY.—The following is an ex-
tract of a private letter from Rum., dated the 6th of this
month:—
" The wife of the too fsmous Prince of Peace, Emanuel Oodoi,
a Prircess of the Blood of the Bourbons, and cousin.german of

only a few of the initiated' are allowed to see. Our Emperor'directs
himself all the important diplomatic tiegonlitinin With foreign Ca.
hinete, and confides the execution only to Count Nesselrode, who is
at the head of the Foreign Department. It is generally taken for
granted that the affairs of the 0-reks, which have excited such
general interest for some years past, are a chief subject of these
conferences with the English Ambassador ; but at present there are
only conjectures with respect to the manner in which their future
lot will be determined. It is however the general opinion here, that
if Greece is to form in future a part of the European system as an
independent Power, our Emperor, in concert with his allies, will not
consent to this independence of the Greeks, except on condition of
their recognising a Prince given them by the Allied Powers. and
under a Constitution framed by themselves; but then it is alarmed
that the English Cabinet is of a different opinion.—AUgemeine
