It was said that General OUDINOT was to advance
against Rome on the 14th at the head of 6,000 men,

day the regiment of Roselli and several other com-

The Contemporanco of the 13th instant has corre-
spondence from Ancona of the 9th, from which it
appears the inhabitants of that city are prepared to
make a desperate resistance. They had warned off
two French vessels of war, threatening to fire on
them, on which the French Consul lowered the
French flag, and with his family quitted the place.
The Consuls of Naples, Austria, and Spain were in-
vited to follow his example.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet, and
prices remained much the same as on Friday last. The sales
were estimated at from 4,000 to 5,000 bales, 500 of which
were for export.— Railway Shares were quite inactive, and
very little business was transacted.
The six weeks' average price of grain is returned at 455.
3d. per quarter.
The Continental advicee have again been the general
theme of comment, and are unfavourably construed.
Indeed the impression becomes almost daily stronger.
that some strong coup d'etat will be attempted in France
with the view of crushing the war party, or other-
wise, that a mischievous quarrel will arise. All seems
chaotic at present, and the sensitiveness of the Money Market
at Paris is likely to endure until some settlement of pending
difficulties can be reasonably foretold. The French Funds
lost yesterday pert of their previously improved tone, but
rallied a little after the Bourse, according to what is
stated in private letters that have been shown to us.
In the Amsterdam Bourse on Tuesday there was great
excitement, owing to the news from Paris, and large
sales of French rentes being pressed; the Three per
Cents. declined 46k, nor did they rally subsequently. Dutch
Stock suffered likewise, being 47 for the Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. Spanish were most depressed among the foreign
investments.
It is stated in the continental papers that England, France,
and Russia have acquiesced in the plan of a federal govern-
vernment for Germany, because such does not violate any
existing treaties.
The advices by the overland mail report very favourably
upon the markets in our Eastern possessions, and in most
articles of British manufacture a fair business was doing at
Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras.
The China market report is not altogether satisfactory.
There had been a moderate business done a short time pre-
viously, but a suspension of dealings occurred, owing to the
uncertainty about the opening of the gates.
The Committee of. Spanish American bondholders have re-
ceived another communication from Messrs. Manning and
Mackintosh, in which the great probability of a further
appropriation by Congress of the United States indem-
nity money towards the payment of a dividend
is reiterated, with a hope that the Mexican Govern ment
will make certain concessions in respect to the cotton
licenses that will render them more saleable. It is like-
wise intimated that we may soon expect a further remittance
from the tobacco duties.
At the meeting of lonian Bank shareholders held to-day
a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum was declared,
with an addition to the reserve fund.

The English Stock Market opened firmly upon the in-
telligence from India of the entire subjugation of the Pun-
jamb; but the Continental news by the second delivery
has since had an effect. Consols have been 9118
lA, and are now 91 to Ig. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. realised 90% to 3/4. Bank Stock is worth 1931
to 195. Exchequer-bills have been 475., and India Bonds
68s. to 71s. premium.
In the Foreign Market There is not much doing Spanish
Five per Cents. are 16 to lA, and the Three per Cents. 321%
to % ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 48j,i.

donian, South-Eastern, and Brighton. The French lines are
cheaper again.
