Little or nothing doing in the foreign market this
morning, Spanish Bonds opened at Sfl—went up
to S9l.—The• price of these Bonds at Paris is from
37 to SB.

Six French expresses were in. before the market
opened, and on the rattle going bargains in Consols
were done at 751. They subsequently went to
75i 1,--and there remaiped.steady for some time,
when the arrival of a seventh express drove several
heavy sellers upon the market, and Consols declined
to 75•-• st. which price they remain. The first ar.
rivals from Paris brought the French Fives at 80f.
654. It is now rumoured that the last arrival
brings them 791. 65c.--a fall of three per cent.—
but the trickiug fluctuations of the French Funds
have nearly ceased to operate upon our market.

A vessel arrived at Havre, has brought intelli-
gence that on the 16th of December last, a violent
tire broke out in the town of Port-an-Prince. A
considerable part of the town, the custom-house, a
great number of buildings, immense magazines, and
the whole quarter of the merchants, became the
prey of the flames. The loss caused by this disaster
is valued at five millions of piasters. Three.funrths
of the loss, it is said, falls on English houses. The
loss was the more considerable in consequence
the negroes having taken advantage of the disorder
inseparable to such a catastrophe, to plunder part
of the property which was saved from the fire.—
The only foreign hotis which the conflagration
spared were those of Messrs. Torbeche, Magnus and
Oldenburg ; Heland and Weber • G. Windsor ;
Phelps, 134.aksted and Co.; and V. Wusfield.
