EXCHANGE OF PARIS.
At the arproach of the I liquidation, it was re-
marked, that the operations of several speculators
surpassed their means; embarrassments were felt
upon 'Change; the liquidation became drtficiilt ;
and a considerable diminution necessarily resulted
iu the price of the Stock.
Provisional measures have been adopted to arrest
the ntischief; and some definitive regulations have
been decided upon to prevent its return. The
Batik of France has discounted at 60 dayv, during
the whole or the liquidation; a company of Ex-
change Brokers displayed in these circumstances
the most honourable conduct, and abundant means
hare been furnished or secured. A body of the
principal merchants, bankers, and capitalists of
Paris, hare oputitausenusly entered into au engage-
ment to purchase, when required, several millions
or setae. A subscription was opened to this effect,
and it was nmnnediatrly accomplished. The sub-
scribers of the Lite loans eagerly took part in it.
From the most attentive examination of these
proceeding*, the fullest conviction is entertained
that the lode cannot rest urn' a more solid basis,
and that it was solely the exaggeration of momentary
demands, ill-known 1 ill-judged, that produced
the impediment.. This truth once known, the ut-
most calm prevails, stud every thing is climged.
The liquidation-psynieids are elected without dd.
ficulty. The stint will not be •t-
-tended with any : the rente has riven.
To produce this agreeable result, it was not even
requisite to make use of the resources utfarded by
the union of the merchants. capitalists, and bankers
above mentioned. This association cunt .s. Tisch
confidence seconds the views and solicitude of the
Government iii a most laudable niamier, and adds
further to the mass of guarantees. All interests are
united ; only Our sentiment and one end are pur-
sued, which are the aelfure of the State, and the
support of a credit so happily estublislerd a..d so
firmly seemed I.y our rulitical ColllirXlolls, by our
internal situation, and by the well-Liman state of

INesTOll, SEPTsUllett 26.
We regret to mention that two attempts were
made on Monday to set tireit> the ill-fated town of
Port Royal. At one piaci a fire-slick was placed
under the east door of a new house, opposite the
Polygon battery, belonging to Henry S. Beer. Esq.
which began to blase, but one of the neighbours
going a fishing, diticovered it and gave the alarm,
when it was extinguished. The other was at a she*
house, the corner or Atfalo's-alley, near a retail
shop, under the shingles or which, at tire west
corner of the roof, /DIM combustibles were placed,
and they began to burn bri-kly, when u young man
in the adjoiiiing yard awoke from the ke burst-
ing into Inc room, and by hi. assistance the fire was
subdued. Fortunately there was little or no wind,
iu cousequence of which the files were extinguished
without any serious injury. From • circum-
stance there cannot be a doubt but that the diabo-
lical attempt was the work of nn isicendi.ry or in-
cendiaries : the Nlagiqratis and N'‘ b' • y hate there-

fore offered a reward of 201. with a view to diF
cover lino or them, and, if brought to light by the
rid of a slave, thry promise to use every exertion
to obtain his or her freedom.
Yesterday his Grace the Governor was pleased to
issue his Proclamation, callow the lion. lloose of
