Letters received in Paris on Sunday stated that
Mr. O'CONNELL (who had not yet, on Thursday last,
reached Lyons) had been unfavourably affected by
the journey and the wintry temperature.
The Minister of Finance has given notice, that
from the 12th instant the interest on Treasury Bon,ls
will be as follows :-4 per cent. per annum on honds
at from three to five months' date; 41 per cent. per
annum on bonds at from six to eleven months' date;
and 5 per cent. on bonds at one year's date.
This was held in Paris to indicate that no loan
would be required, and checked the fall in the funds.
The Madrid mail of the 6th inst. had not reached
Paris on Sunday.
The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de
l'Opera, at 77f. 921 c.

LATEST from the UNITED STATES
AND MEXICO.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING.—By the arrival of
the Speed from Savannah, and the Princess Royal from
New Orleans, we have later advices from both these
places. The former is dated March 12, and the latter
March 13. A conflict had been fought between the
United States troops in New Mexico :and tke native
soldiers. As usual, the arms of the former were victori-
ous. They had taken a mule-load of powder, besides
several horses and mules.
From New Orleans we find exchange on London was
quoted so low as 2i to 3i per cent. premium. All kind
of bread-stuffs had experienced a decline, and freight.
remained without any variation. The low receipts of
cotton at the several landing ports had caused this article
to be firm in value, and in some instances prices had ad-
vanced, particularly at Charleston, where an advance of
i 3. per lb. had been established during the week ending
March 12. Corn was in good demand at that place at
$B3 95c., and exchange on sterling bills, having sixty
days to run, 3} per cent.

COLONIAL.
SUGAR. —The market for British Plantation is heavy,
only about 70 hhds having been sold privately at rather
lower prices. The public sales have offered 127 hhds
Barbadoes ; 9,315 bags Mauritius ; 3,617 bags Bengal ;
and 808 bags Madras ; which went off heavily, Barba-
does selling in some instances about 6d lower,
whilst the Mauritius, Bengal, and Madras were
nearly all withdrawn ; a small portion of the
Mauritius (principally damaged) being realised at a
decline of fully Is. The Bengal ehiefly found buyers,
but at a further reduction of 6d to Is. Nearly all the
Madras was taken in. The quantity of British Planta-
tion landed in London this year to the Ist inst. has
been 8,539 hhds 1,138 tierces, against 11,503 hhds
1,272 tierces, to the same time last year. The
consumption was 11,904 hhds 1,436 tierces, being
a reduction of nearly 7,000 hhds and 700 tierces. The
stock in London, on the Ist instant, was 3,098 hhds
481 tierces, against 5,472 hhds 727 tierces at the same
date in 1846. The imports of Ilavannab, Brazil, Mau-
ritius, Bengal, and other East India, have decidedly
increased, and there is also a material advance in the
consumption. The stocks are larger, as regards Mau-
ritius and East India, but there is less Brazil.
MOLASSES.-64 hhds Bengal realised 22s to 245 for
mid to good quality, being lower prices.

to the Ist inst. was 3,443 puns 2,658 hhds, against

last year. The consumption has increased about 500

have to announce the demise of this distinguished naval
who. expired on the 7th instant at his residence in
sedAofffiteerear,pinroblsaltiznivarays
appointed to a Lieutenancy, and in 1829 was advanced
to the rank of Commander.' He was
a midshipman in
the San Josef at the siege of Cadiz, and, in 1810, while
h"lding similar rank, he served in the Andromache, on
the occasion of the capture of the United States frigate
the PresLiest. Pis next services were on the occasion
of the capture of Algiers. In 1824, when Lieutenant of
the Thetis, he commanded the boats of that vessel in an
action with the Ashantees.
EXPRESS TRAVELLING ON THE GREAT WESTERN.
—The twelve o'clock up express train on the Great
Western yesterday was, owing to some derangement in
the engine, upwards of half an hour late. at Bath. At
Swindon the train consisted of ten car pages, weighing
100 tons, and with this load the engine gained eight
minutes in a run of 77 miles upon the ordinary express
speed of 43 miles per hour. The average rate at which
this train of 100 tons, and conveying 320 passengers,
travelled between Swindon and Paddington, was 52
miles per hour.

the foregoing is far from being a solitary instar ice. We
perceive that Mr. PAYNE, the Counsel, last wf :ek read
a lecture to the COMMON SERGEANT in ope D court,
and severely animadverted upon the " helter- (leiter"
way in which cases were conducted before hit. L. Mr.
PAYNE remarked, that " it was a long time s' . 'tee he
had thought this with respect to the conduct:. of the
Court, but that he felt obliged to say it then.' ' We
hope we shall be spared the infliction of having; again
to observe upon the administration of justice, in the
Central Criminal Court.

We have received the Paris papers of Sundr y.
The .National has a long article on the ,alleged
understanding between England and Spain ior the
settlement of the affairs of Portugal, which of course
it represents as an attack upon the interest of France,
thus admitting by implication that it is for the in-
terests of France that the affairs of Portugal should
remain unsettled. As we know from ex: perience
that the French Government is not over scr, u pulous
as to the means it employs to forward what i;: ima-
gines to be its interest, we may easily gut s who
were the intriguers who first excited these t..uubles.
The National thus concludes.—

" Our interests, our friendships, our legitimat e action
in the Mediterranean are attacked on every p
Greece, at Tunis, at Lisbon, and in Spain. This
might have been expected. The press ha ll often
warned the Government against such a contii gency.
What has been done to ward off the blow ? What
measures have been adopted to avert it ? It was
known that England intended to demand by fe;rce the
payment of the Greek debt, and our Government , every-
where so prodigal, never thought of giving to Coletti
the money necessary to deprive Lord Palmerstc 11 of all
pretext to commit that act of violence. Thus, eNt ery fo-
reign state protected by the system falls to ruin; Chris-
tina weeps over her sins; Isturitz will shortly set k a re-
fuge in Paris; and nothing now remains of the : rilliant
exploits which had raised so high the glory of M. Guizot.
We are mistaken; there remains a dowry, and another
signal illustration of the fact that the dynastic ;interest
is necessarily the national interest."

The Presse has an article on the recent chz :ages in
the Palace of Madrid, which, from its style: and its
violence, must, we should imagine, have been writte❑
by CHRISTINA herself, complaining bitterly of the
conduct of the Spanish Ministry, " which be gins by
ridding the Queen of SPAIN of her most faithful
servants, because they have opposed the pret+ msions
of the English embassy, and asking how it a: curred
that at such a crisis France was no longer set ciously
represented at Madrid"—a compliment which tivill' no
doubt be properly appreciated by the D-uc DE
GLUCKIRERG, the French Ambassador in Spa in, and
also by his father, the Due DECAZES.
The Journal des Debats says—
" The importations of wheat and flour in Mpirch ex-
ceeded those of the preceding month. The impo stations
at the ports on the Atlantic were 358,874 bee zolitres,
at those in the Mediterranean 637,797 hectolitres, by
the land frontiers 76,577 hectolitres, making a Total of
1,073,248 hectolitres. The importations from ;July to
December were 2,465,069 hectolitres ; in Janu iry and
February, 1,377,896 hectolitres ; making a totul since
the last crop of 4,916,213 hectolitres. This is the
largest importation there has ever been in :France.
During the same period the exportation of wheat and
flour to Algeria and the French colonies, akt other
countries, has been—of flour, 8,074 quintals ; wheat,
1,621 hectolitres; meslin, barley, and rye, 42,811 hecto-
litres; Indian corn, 82,014 quintals."
Notwithstanding these importations, the price of
flour has risen in the Paris and Havre markets.
The Inflexible, of 90 guns, has been ordered to sail
immediately from Toulon for the Levant.
