CM, ONE o'CLoca.
Four expresses have arrived from I'aris this morn-
ing, bringing some information of considerable im-
portance. A sort of bulletin or address to the
French army had been promulgated at the head-
quarters on the .21st of March, bearing date that
day, by which it was officially announced, that the
French troops were to hold themselves prepared to
enter Spain on the Bch of the present month. It
was also stated in Paris that the Russian troops had
commenced their march for the French frontiers,
thereto form a camp and artily ofnbservation.
Accounts have been received from Malaga this.
morning, bearing date the 12th ult., by which we
learn that fire English Consul to that port, William..
Laud, had expired on the 4th.
Wagers have been Wit this morning relative to'
the Spanish Bonds, in which the parties concerned
are giving 30 guineas to receive 100, if Spanish
Bonds reach 40 by the end of the present year.

Extract of a letter dated Rio de Janeiro, Jan. SO,
1823.—" Our sjuadron of fisur frigates returned
the other day front Monte Video, and sailed yester.
day for Bahia and Pernambuco, with supplies of
arms and about 600 volunteers from the militia,
chiefly mulattoes. but tolerably good troops and well
equipped. The command is intrusted to an Ante.;
ricun, named Jewett, .vho commands the largest
frigate. They are miserably off for officers; neither
Portugal or Brazil, has even one of note, sod Brazil
none she can trust. The first Lieutenant of the
Doris, entered into their service the other slay, and
as he was the first English officer they could engage,
they make--much of• him. He is „made Captain—
they have given him a fine frigate of S 8 guns, now
undergoing a thorough repair; but the paucity of
officers is such, that„Taylor is looking round among
the mates of merchantmen for his future lieutenant !
A 74 will. be ready.for sea in six weeks, as yet un-
commissioned, and no captain eligible. People sup-
pose, from the activity shown in getting their navy
forward withoUt seeing here Akers capable of tak-
ing the comment}, that they must have some well-
founded reason for expecting officers front foreign
countries. A code of regulations for the govera-
meat of privateers, and It of marque, has been
issued, but the system is bad, us they were rather
warmly told by the French Commodore, who ob.
4erved that they who had no navy should strive to
form one, and not throw the prizes of war into the
hands of the only nation (the Uaited States) who
would be the fitst ready to iittertere in the quarrel.
I have not yet heard of any lower of marque being
issued."

inamineot danger of the passengers, Witness narrowly es-
caped injury. Be remonstrated with Moore on the impropriety

covered by a young snail passing by, bursting through the shop
scoutters, anti he hat ing made an alarm, every means were re-
sorted to.to warn the Minutes of their danger ; ladders wore
placed against the windows to assist them in making their
escape, but no person made their appearance, and it was feared
they fell a prey to the devouring element, widish had gained an
alarming ascendency, and the greatest fears were entertained
for the tenements in the rear of the lomse in French-:sorn-yard,
is also the houses on the right and left of the one on lire. The
road in front was strewed with furniture of every description.
that had been removed from the neighbouring houses, and the
greatest confusion prevailed, till many of the fire engines arrived.
and having obtained a plentiful supply of water, soon abated the
devastation that presented itself. The risof.of Mr. Weakley's
Loose fellyn with a tremendous crash, mire ing with it the Cl”

CORN EXCHANGE, M3WDAY, Anus. /.
,The supply of Wheat and Flour is tolerable since this dry
week, but these articles are without any variation from our last
statetnent.—There is also a supply ot• Batley fully adequate to
to the demand, and this grain may be quoted heavy in sale at
our last price--of Oats, however, the quantity offered is very mu. •
dcrate, and this grain is in good demand at an advance of Is.
per quarter. In Scans and ..Peas- there is no variation worth
noticing. but both these articles arc dull. Flour supports We
price, and indeed there is but little this/ley-in the Corn Mackin.
