clustrious efforts were made to circulate a re-
port that " the Times was about to publish
a second edition, with intelligence decisively war-
like!"—The rumour, no doubt, was intended to
have its effect on the Stock Exchange. Our
Readers will see in this instance the necessity of
listening with caution to the interested specula-
tions to which every day gives birth:—

(EXPRESS FROM PARIS.)
Mfrs OrrrcE, Ten o'Clock.

A courier from Paris arrived at 10 o'clock this
morning. As the dispatch brings the first news
from Madrid since the arrival in that capital of
the Notes of the. Allied Sovereigns and that of
M. de V.H.L.r.r.E, it may be considered important.
The tendency of the news is certainly pacific,—
for who will, venture to go to war with Spain if
all her parties are united (as the following letter
leaves little doubt they will be) to reject the in-
solent interference of foreigners in their domestic
concerns.

" Paris, Jan. 12, 1823, 4 o'clock, p. m.—At
last public anxiety has been somewhat allayed
• by the arrival of three couriers from Madrid,
bringing papers and letters to the 7th inst. The
papers I send you on, and shall proceed to state
a fact or two contained in the private dispatches.
The Universal of the sth publishes the note of M.
de Vit.r.LE, and sees in it a tendency to peace. Pri-
vate letters state that it produced little effect on
the publicmind,that it scarcely attracted notice,and
was thought quite in the natural course of things.
M. DE LAGARDE presented this Note to the Spa-
nish Ministry on the sth, and the Austrian, Rus-
sian, and Prussian Ministers transmitted their's
from their respective Courts on the 6th. That
of Russia is known at Madrid to be very vioL
lent, but was received in the same manner as the
rest.. The Spanish Cabinet referred the tour
Notes to the Council of State, and the atiswer
will not be returned till the whole matter
is well considered. A measure which must
at once secure mature deliberation, and lead
to an imposing union, has been likewise
adopted by the Ministers. They have called a
meeting of the heads of the parties in the Cortes,
and mean to refer to them the notes of the Allied
Powers. From the list of the names which this
committee is likely to include, it is fair to infer
that a temperate hut firm.and collected answer
will be given. All parties seemed determined,
on this grave and trying occasion, to unite their
counsels, and to dispute the right of foreign
powers to dictate in their internal affairs.
" There had been a secret sitting of the Cortes
to treat of the question of the English indemnities
for the seizures of English vessels in the West
Indies, of which so much has been said of late.
The Cortes are willing to admit the claim, and
art amicable adjustment will soon take place.
64 We cannot expect an answer front the Spa-
nish Cabinet in less than a week, from the deli-
berate manner in which their proceedings are
conducted.

" You will see in the Quotidienne of to-day
that the party of Constitutionalists who entered
on the French soil with arms in their hands were
conducted by a French authority, which seems
to put an end to the supposed violation of ter-
ritory."

The following is an extract of an article in the
Universue of the sth of January :
" The Universal, in a long article on the in-
structions of M. DE VILLELE, observes We
see in this note only a second edition of the
famous article published in the Journal des Debuts,
on the 13th November. The same imputations
are here cast upon us ; the same principles
established ; the same conditions proposed to
us for preserving the friendship of France ;
and the political excommunication is threat-
ened us in case w•e persist in maintaining
the rights of our independence. In the mean
time we have only to give the same reply
which we formerly gave to the charges and
threats of the French Government, fully per.
suaded that our own Government will not on
this occasion belie its patriotism, and will repel,
with a noble pride, this new species of diplomatic
war by which our constancy and loyalty is en-
deavoured to be put to the proof.'"

they scarcely contain any article Worthy of no-
tice. The King of PRUSSIA arrived on the 3d

on the 7th. His MAJEsTy has appointed M.
VAN Voss President of the Council of

the place of the late Prince lIARDANI/EZ.
