CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

Two expresses were received from Paris this
morning, bringing letters written late in the evening of the
26th current, which advise a very considerable improvement in
theyalue of foreign securities there. The Rentes, which closed
on the preceding day at 88f. 45c., advanced on Tuesday to
89f. 60c. Neapolitan Bonds were considerably improved, and
were in demand
,at MA, and the Spanish Bonds of 1821 also
rose to 59. It was universally believed that the Patriot Gene-
ral MINA, heading the national troops, had pqrstied so closely
the hordes of priests and vagabonds, impiously denominated
the Army of the Faith, that no opportunity to rally them had
been afforded to the traitors under whose command they had
vainly attempted to destroy the liberties of their country. 'At
the date of these expresses opinions continued to be divided
respecting the duration of peace.
There was this morning on the Stock Exchange an evident
inclination for improvement. Consols for the next settlement
opened at 813, and some extensive purchases having been made,
they advanced to 82k. Two considerable failures during the
day, however, were announced, and probably the sale of their
speculations caused a sudden dullness, and the market closed
at 811 -7„, being nearly the same as the rate at which it opened:
In the Foreign market the advanced pricea in Paris partly dis-
pelled the gloom which hangs over all transactions. Neapoli-
tan Bondsadvanced fully 1 per cent. and. the Spanish of 1821
were sold at 6(4.• These latter, however, again declined, and
no confidence will be reposed in any description of Foreign
Stocks until the result of the settlement on Saturday next be
made known.

much.—(llforning Chronicle.)

INTERESTING ACCOUNT
OF THE PRESENT STATE.OF PITCAIRN'S ISLAND.

NEW BEDFORD UNITED STATES), OCT. 10. —The ship
Russell a few days ago arrived here, which touched Pit-
cairn's Island on her way home, and a passenger in her
has favoured us with a journal of the stay they made
there, which will
.be found particularly interesting, as what-
ever tends to shew the progress -and. condition of a settle*.
ment tints singularly founded, cannot but he regarded
with interest... The perfect system of harmony and moral
purity which is found to exist among these Islanders is
very striking, and forms a strong instance-nf the effects of ek-
ternal circumstances on individual character. .The.first settlers
came to this, island fugitives from justice, outlaws of the most
degraded kind. Cot off as they soon were from all hope of in-
tercourse with other parts of the world, they must have looked
on each other as sharers of a perpetual exile, and. added to a
Peeling of mutual dependence, the best sympathies of their
nature must have been called forth, and good affections gained
strength, while what was bad' in their characters might be sup-
posed, in their simple way of life, to find few occasions to operate
and .by degrees to lose dominion over them. John Adams
is the only one of the Bounty's crew now remaining on the
Island. Ile appears the Patriarch of the little community,
and has no doubt been instrumental in forming the minds of those
born on the Island in those principles of religion and virtue
'which are so conspicuous in their characters. We give the jour-
nal unadulterated as we received it.
