-MORALES.

Extract of a Letter from General Morales.--

" Wishing to free the province of Coro from
the yoke of Colombia, and knowing'that the Cura
Forrelles was at the bead of 1000 infantry and a
few cavalry, I marched from Maracaibo on the
25th November, with 800 infantry and a detach-
ment of cavalry, and Coro surrendered without
firing a shot."—General MORALES writes that he
was ou his return to Maracaibo, having left a suf-
ficient force to maintain tranquility in the pro-
vince of Coro.

FROM LIMA.—We have perused a letter from
Buenos Ayres of the 14th November, which no-
tices the receipt of intelligence from Lima to
the 17th September, and confirms that General
SAN MARTIN had retired from the army.

an arrival from Maracaibo. We learn that Gen.

STOCK EXCHANG E, Haffpast u'Clock—
The Order in. Council, in last Saturday night's
Gazette, revoking the order. which prohibited
the transportation of arms and ammunition into
,Spain, has created a great sensation in • the city
this morning, and the public now begin to think
that war with Spain and -France will certainly
take place, in consequence of which, and the
early departure of the Duki• d'ANnour,kmc,
Consols opened at 73. a, and went up to
at which price they remain up to this hour.
FOREIGN MAniarr.—ln this Market there was
a great deal of business doing. Spanish Bonds
are 3,24, and most parties are selling. The French
Funds are 70f. 30c. Spanish 37.

It is rumoured that Russia has been tampering
with the United States, as well as with France,
whose Government have sheer►► so much finesse
during •the last year.-,-It is said that a most in►_
want ootninunicatiOu has been made to Ills
MAJESTY'S Ministers on this subject, by an in-
dividual who has recently arrived from the North
of Europe, and who has, in consequence, had
several interviews with the British Government.
We merely mention this. report without vouching
for its authenticity.

CAPTAIN PARRY.—We can state from autho-
rity, that a paragaph which appeared in a Weekly
Paper, on Saturday last, and which has been
copied into the Journals of this day, stating that
an account had been received at the Admiralty
of the Discovery. Ships under the command of
Capt. PARRY, is, totally unfounded ; and though
senseless and absurd in the extreme, is calcu-
lated to play on the feelings of the relatives of
those employed on the Epedition. Not only have
no accounts been hitherto received at the Admi-
ralty, but we understand that no expectations
are entertained of hearing from Captain PARRY
till next autumn, when, if unsuccessful, he may
be looked for at home, or if successful, may be
heard of from the Pacific.

On Saturday, about a quarter before one
o'clock, his MAJESTY left London for Brighton.
On Saturday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Conn-

SUN.OFFICE, Two o'Clock.

A rumour has reached us, which is of so in'.

portant a nature that we deem it our duty to stop
the press for the purpose of cornmunicating it to our
Readers. We hear that arrangements have been

made for the departure of the ROYAL FAMILY

from Madrid to Curunna ; an event wt►ich

it is supposed in Spain must involve this Coun-

try in war, as it i 3 the general belief that
the French will be able to overrun the country,
and dictate a Constitution to the Spaniards.

Cadiz, it
.is said, was first suggested as the place
of retreat for the ROYAL FAMILY, but was deem-

eta unsafe from the information which had been

received of a French fleet having been dispatched

against IL—We have reason. to believe that these

rumours may be relied on as most authentic.
