" RECORD OF THE IMPERIAL WILL.

" The Censor, Hew Kewtseen, has presented a memorial re-

the drug be admitted.' "

HALF-PAST ONE.
The following appears in the French Papers relative to the
loan to the Spanish Government now in course of negotiation i--
" The amount of the loan is about eight millions ster-
ling, which, at the price of 55 per cent., with deduction
of commission, &c., will leave a nett produce of above
four millions sterling. M. Aguado is the contractor. His
first condition appears to be a complete surrender on the
part of Spain of all claims upon him, some of which, whether
well or ill founded, that country has often pressed him
for. The loan is to be guaranteed upon the revenues of
the Philippian Isles, Cuba and Porto Rico. There is also
some reason to believe that the Governments of England and
France have engaged, at all events, to secure to the Queen
the possession of the Island of Cuba.
" A condition of the contract is the due payment of the divi-
dends, and the arrears of last November, and the Spanish Go-
vernment will be pledged to relieve the market of the deferred
and passive debts by a series of operations."
The favourable accounts received from America this morn-
ing have enlivened the spirits of our American merchants,
who are new in great hopes that the disasters in the com-
mercial community will take a turn, by the relief given them
by the various banks, and their losses will not be to the extent
at first anticipated. This has caused an improvement in our
Funds.
