EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We have received by Express the Journal des
Débais of Tuesday. The following are ex-

tracts :

( From
_ll4 Journal de: Debatt of Tuarlay.)

lIAGIJE, FEB. l2.—'There is a good deal said
about Prince Frederick going as Viceroy to the
Indian possessions of Holland, this appoint-
ment being connected with the grand plan for
the reorganization of those provinces, which are
still far from being well administered, and
without a good state of defence, which their
richness and importance require. At present
the political state of affairs requires powerful
organizations, both military and civil, to ward off
the danger which all our India possessions are at
this moment threatened with. The Island of
Java, from which coffee, sugar, cotton, and in-
digo, are exported, augments every year its pro-
duce. The Island of Banks, with its immense
mines,—Celebes and Borneo, which are rich in
diamonds and gold,—the Islands of Atnboine
and Banda, so productive for spices, may be said
to be an empire more important and more rich
than the Brazils.

According to the last statement from the an-
cient Governor Daendels, the revenue amounted,
at 10,790,000 rix dollars, to 57,177,000 francs.
—(Correspondent of Nuremberg.)
This morning, after Mass, his Majesty gave
audience to the Duke Poliguac. Afterwards the
King transacted business with the President of
the Council of Ministers. The King was to have
gone out, but the incertitude of the weather pre-
vented him.

The moment the Duke de Bourbon learnt the
result of the consultation of Physicians, he im-
mediately proceeded to see his sister Louise de
Conde. The moment the Princess saw him; she
recognised her brother, and put out her arm,
and he embraced her. The Priuce remained
with his sister during the night.

The Marquis de Talaru has been made a
Peer of France, by an Ordinance of the King.

We are not yet so well satisfied as to the true
character of FERDINAND'S Decree for legalizing
the trade with South America, as to think, like
some of our contemporaries, that it is a subject
of congratulation for the commercial interest of
this country. A supicion has already been ex-
pressed, that the Decree is in fact a skilful
diplomatic artifice, contrived in the Cabinet
of Paris, for the purpose of not only avert-
ing the expected recognition of the South Ame-
rican States by Great Britain, but of in-
ducing her ultimately to permit the forces of ■
Confederacy to be employed in aiding Spain to I
reduce them again under her dominion. One of the
principal grounds of our resistance to the execu-

on of that fondly cherished project, certainly
isms to be obviated by a measure which throws
open the ci-devant possessions of Spain to our com-
merce. We have declared that we will not suffer fo-
reign hostile interference with the new States, be-
cause the continuance of that independence which
they have substantially achieved is of importance
to our own commercial prosperity. Here comes a
Decree, however, which assures us that we shall
have free commercial intercourse with South Ame-
rica, even if its present independent states should
be returned to the condition of Spanish Colonies.
The Cabinets of Madrid and Paris, &c., there-
fore, probably calculate that the English Govern-
ment will, as in the cases of Naples and Spain,
content itself with protesting against an unjusti-
fiable aggression on the rights of nations, which,
however, being unaccompanied by any direct at-
tack on the interests and honour of England herself,
is not of such a nature as to induce her to plunge
into a romantic and Quixotic war ! But, the
South Americans being once again bent to the
yoke of the Mother Country, what is to pre-
vent FERDINAND from hereafter annulling
his present Decree, and, Spain being now vir-
tually a province of France, what is to pre-
vent the Cabinet of Paris from compelling
FERDINAND to give a preference to the commerce
of France with the Colonies ? It may be said, that
neither France nor Spain, however strong may be
the temptation, will dare, by so flagrant a breach of
good faith, to provoke the hostility of England,
and that the dread of a war with this country will
always be sufficient for compelling them to fulfil
their implied or expressed obligations. But if
the dread of a war with us is so great that
it would prevent France and Spain from set-

Ling us at defiance, even after all the prin-
cipal difficulties shall have been previously
overcome by our credulous supineness, how
much more certainly would the dread of a
war with us now deter France and Spain from
prosecuting their designs against South Ame-
rica, if our immediate recognition of, and
alliance with, the new States of America, were to
convince France and Spain that the object for
which the war was to be undertaken could never
by possibility be accomplished ? This conclusion,
and the policy ou our part which it indicates, are
so obvious, that it appears to us to be unnecessary
to enforce them. 'We will only add one word
more as to the congratulations which are offered
to the Commercial Interests of this, country. Sup-
pose that during the present fallacious and
hollow state of affairs, they continue their ship-
ments to South America,—and suppose that Spain
regains her sovereignty de facto,--will she not
seize,—will she not heve a right to seize,—
every ounce of British merchandize which she
may find in the., ports of her Colonies, as
contraband, and 'to condemn them not only
for the amount of the thities which ought to have
been paid on their introduttion, but for those
which she may be able to prove, to her own satis-
faction, that the importers had previously evaded,
by their antecedent illegal transactions ? We
again repeat, that the immediate recognition of the
Governments of South America is the only safe
policy for this country, and the only policy tl►at
is worthy of its character and its honour.

CITY, Twelve e'Clock.—Consols opened at
91-N for the Account, and for Money at
which price they remain, with scarce any fluc-
tuation. An Express arrived this morning from
Paris, with the French prices of Tuesday.—
Rentes were done as high as 101 f. 20c., fell to
99. 70., got up again to 100. 40., and the last
price 100. 10., with a continuation of 46 to 50.
—Spanish was done at A 5, and left off at 205 to
264-----Neapolitan was at 87, but left off at 86+.
By the above Express, `1 do not hear of any par-
ticular news from Paris, except that they expect
some favourable news concerning the Old Loan
from Madrid. Little business is doing this morn-
in; in the Consols Market.

FOREIGN MARKET.—Since yesterday morning
most of the Foreign Securities have lowered, and
this morning they continue heavy, and not much
business doing.
Ilqi-posr Twelve o'clock,--.Consols are, up to
this moment, gii, buyers, for the Account ;
Money, 911,..

Tn 2 KiNG.—Yesterday morning, about a
quarter past 1I o'clock, his num.'s- left Wind-
sor in his travelling carriage, with outriders, and
escorted by a party of the 3d Regiment of Light
Dragoons, and arrived at his Palace in Pall-Mall
about half-past one. Soon after the King re-
ceived visits from the Duke of York and the
Duchess of Glocester.
his Majesty was attended
by the First Lord of the Treasury, the Secretary
of State for the Horne -Department, the Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs, the Secretary of
State for the Colonial Department, the Master
General of the Ordnance, the Chancellor
of the Duchy of Lancaster. Lord Viscount
Granville was introduced to his Majesty by
upon his being appointed
AMmr.bSuesscarteituarrytuCatriting
the King
of the Netherlands, in
the room of the Earl of Clancarty. The Noble
Viscount kissed hands, and had the honour of a
private audience to take leave, previous to his
Lordship's departure for the Netherlands in a
few days' time. The above Cabinet Ministers
had also audiences of his Majesty. The Court
at half-past four o'clock. At ten

e s
up
before five his Majesty left town on his re-
turn to Windsor, escorted by a party of the 3d
Light Dragoons.

Extract of a recent mercantile letter from Lisbon :—" It is
said that all idea of arrangement with Brazil is abandoned,
and, in the meantime, preparations are making for sending
troops to Para and Maranham, and emissaries to the Province
of Rio Grande to revolutionize' it, in order that Brazil may
be on fire, as it were, in its two extremities. The emir-
Marks are two confidential Officers, who will depart secretly
in an American vessel freighted by the Government. They
are instructed by General SALDANICA, who was Governqr of
the Province of Rio Grande, and who counts on the co-operation
of the friends he has left them. The plans are not yet known ;
one of the means of annoyance in view is to prohibit the ex-
portation of dried meat, 4i.c. with the view of inconveniencing
the provinces of Bahia and Pernambuco. Marshal BERNSFOILD
was consulted; and, notwithstanding his disapprobation, the
plan will be carried into effect; the authors of the plan antici-
pate a favourable result; but sensible people see only the ruin
of this kingdom in the prolongation of the war with Brazil.
A continuation of the maritime war must destroy our com-
merce. Courtiers form plans at their ease, while we poor mer-
chants are ruined by successive losses."

The SPEAKER'S first Parliamentary Levee, for
the present Session, will be on Saturday next.
Mr. B. Sfriw has succeeded the late Mr.
MARRYAT, as Chairman of the Committee of
Lloyd's.

We are sorry to learn that Sir THOMAS Rein
was attacked on Tuesday afternoon last, by an
apoplectic fit, and is in considerable danger.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-.On Wed nesday
afternoon, the Union Coach, which runs between this town and
Sheffield, was upset at IVorsbrough-bridge, about 2 miles from
Barnsley. By this accident, Mr. Gordon, of Sheffield, a highly
respectable teacher of dancing, was killed. His head unfor-
tunately fell against a large stone laid on the left-hand side of
the road. The blood instantly flowed from different parts
of the head ; and so violent was the effect produced by the
fall, that he neither spoke nor seemed sensible of his me-
lancholy situation, and only survived a short time. Mr.
Gordon has left a widow and two daughters; and we should
not be fulfilling our duty, were we not to recommend to
the Proprietors of the Union Coach the necessity of af-
fording pecuniary relief to his bereaved family. On their
part, we consider it a paramount duty ; and having thus
briefly alluded to it, we leave the case to their serious reflection.
—On Thursday an inquest was held over the body, before
A. A. Hardy, Esq. After several depositions the Jury re-
tired for some time, and then returned a verdict of" Accidental
Death."—Mr. Gordon's remains were buried on Saturday, in
the Churchyard of Worsbrough.—(Lcecis Independent, Feb. 170
