the Peninsula. Of this, all parties may be assured,
that the English Cabinet is vigilantly attentive
to its duties,—that it is 64 at its post,"—and, that
it will not neglect the adoption of such measures
as may be found necessary for the " preserva.
lion of the political sastem of Europe."

We shall to-morrow state to our Readers the
true cause of the failure of 'Ministers, in the late
Negociations, at Paris and at Madrid.

German Papers arrived this morning. The
following are extracts :

" STUTTGARD, APRIL 26.-1 letter from. Leipsig gives
rather an unfavourable account of the commencement of the Fair
for silk goods, English manufactures, and articles of luxury ;
as for Saxon and other German manufactures, there are scarcely
any purchasers from Poland and Russia, from Moldavia and
Wallachia also the purchasers are few. In one article, how.
ever, the business done at the beginning of the fair has been
very considerable and profitable, contrary to expectation ;
namely, in ordinary and middling Prussian and Saxony wool-
len cloths, which have been readily purchased at good prices."

" SWITZERLAND, APRIL 22.—The answer of the Court of
Rome, respecting the incorporation of the Cantons of Uri,
Schweitx, and Underwald, with the diocese of Coke, has not
been such as was expected, and the stipulations on which,the
Cantons laid the most stress have been rejected. It is now
thought that all idea of the union will be abandoned, and what
is called the Provisional State--that is, the Government of the
Nuncio—will continue.

"The Council of State of the Canton of Friburg, after a de-
bate of two days, has suppressed the schools of mutual in-
struction throughout the whole Canton. The votes for and
against the system being equal, the negative vote of the Pre.
sident decided. It was in vain that the Council of Education
had given its opinion in favour of this method. It Is thought
that the great council will be invoked in May ; it will have to
discuss the plan which will be laid before it for a new system
of education, the basis of which is to be simultaneous instruc-
tion.

" WARSAW, APRIL 14.—His Highness Prince Anthony
Radizwill, Governor of the" Duchy of Posen, arrived on the
9th."

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]

STOCK EXCHANGE, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols
opened this morning at 79i, declined to 78i, I. The Paris
Papers of Sunday arrived yesterday afternoon, consequently
we cannot expect Monday's Papers till late in the day. The
marching of thirty thousand fresh troops from France to
Spain has had some effect on the Funds, particularly on
Spanish Bonds. It is supposed the decline in the Funds
this morning is owing to a re-action by certain parties, who
think they have realized sufficient on the rise of yesterday. The
Hebrew party sold largely and contented themselves with
the first profit. We do not hear of any Express as yet having
arrived from Paris ; and the Market, which was heavy in
the earlier part of the morning, seems to have recovered.
FOREIGN MARKET.—Every minute there was a fluctua-
tion this morning in Spanish Bonds.—They opened at 314,
went down to 37i A, 3tii, and went up again to with a
heavy market. The marching of fresh reinforcements from
France to Spain has greatly operated on the above market.

11Amwrom arrived in a chaise and four, in Down-

A Gentleman who has just arrived from Rus-
sia says, that the province of Lithuania has been sadly infested
with a numerous gang of robbers this last winter. It is true
they have been routed by the activity of the police, though their
previous depredations have been severely felt by numerous
individuals.

A recent letter from Antwerp states, that
every thing connected with commerce is at pre-
sent very animated in that city. This agreeable
change (the letter adds) is no doubt to be
ascribed to the more liberal Finance system
which has lately been introduced, and especially
to the greater facilities accorded to the transit-
trade.

the counties of Essex and York, are of great value, afibrding
an opulent inheritance to his family.
