the inhabitants. All opinions concur on the
point that the present agitation is the fore-
runner of a great plan for the restoration of
ITURBIDE, which, it is to be feared, will
not be carried into effect, without producing
much bloodshed, and perhaps a Civil War.—
No relic -.ce can be placed on Mexican credit.
It is quite certain that the principal of tl►e late
loan will never be recovered, and most likely but
a very small portion of the interest."

CITY, OWE O'CLOCK.

There is a panic in the Foreign Market
amongst the holders of South American Securi-
ties, who are selling eagerly at reduced prices,
and a great deal of business has been done.
Colombian Scrip has fallen to 7 discount, and
IVT exican Bonds are at 511, which is equal to a
discount of 6 upon the Scrip of that loan. Greater
attention to the timely warnings of TILE SUN re-
specting these loans, would have saved many
families from ruin. In the British Market no-
thing is doing. Consols, which opened at 924-,1,
are stilt at the same price, looking gloomy.

Wr. have received the French Papers of Sa-
turday and the Dale of Sunday mornip " and
have given extracts from them in a preceding
column. The most important article of their
contonts is that in which the Journal du Coy.
merce states that a French squadron of fifteen
'hips of different rates is ordered to be fitted out
end sent into the Mediterranean. The French
are evidently paying the greatest attention to
their Marine ; and they have at this moment a
much greater number of ships at sea, in various
parts of the world, than are necessary for the
protection of their commerce. Those are not
circumstances that are likely to induce Parlia-
ment, in the next Session, to listen to any pro.
positions for relinquishing the practice of im-
pressing seamen.

The article we have extracted from the Journal
du Commerce, relative to General Sir GREGOR.
M4Gll.l4GrOlt, gives rise to many reflections. It
excited a good deal of sensation in the Stock
Exchange, where it WWI thought to portend no
good to Mexico and Colombia. Should M'GRE-
owl be employed by the kingof SPAIN, as is said,
to intrigue in those countries, and even to com-
mand an expedition against them, the pa-
triotic cause might suffer a great risk, from his
thorough acquaintance with, and the agency which
he has the means of putting in motion. We
should like to know whether or not he is acting
uuder the patronage of the French Government ?

Advices have been received from Rio de Ja-
neiro to the 17th of May, from Bahia to the 'NI
of June, and from Pernambuco to the 9th of the
same month. The Brazilian newspapers are
chiefly filled with accounts of the taking of the
oath to the Constitution in the different cities
and towns of the Empire, and of the elections of
Deputies. The blockade of Pernambuco is still
kept up. Lord CoctIRANE was actively pre-
paring a squadron of ships of war for a long
voyage. His destination was unknown ; but it
was conjectured that he is about to sail for the
Pacific, with the view of attacking the Spanish
ships of war in that sea.

The new arrangements which have been made
by the Admiralty for the ease and comfort of the
inferior orders of our Naval Defenders (an
Official copy of which we inserted in Tit E Sus of
yesterday), are highly honourable to the huma-
nity as well as wisdom of that great National
Board. It is certain that our seamen injured
their health by too free a use of ardent spirits,
which' were not necessary to stimulate the
courage of Britons, employed in supporting the
honour of their country, however necessary it
may be found to rouse the feelings or deaden the
fears of foreign sailors. To abridge, therefore,
the quantity of spirits allotted to our gallant
naval heroes, and to substitute comforts of a sa-
lutary nature, such as beer, tea, coffee, flour,
and to increase their pay to the amount of two
shillings per month, is in reality to Preserve
their health, to prevent the feuds that too
often arise from the free use of spirituous
liquors, and to render them more content-
ed with their condition. There is no cal-
culating the beneficial effect of these wise
and liberal arrangements, particularly as to the
increase of pay, which enables those who have
families at home to contribute more to their com-
fort. We may therefore confidently expect not
only to witness the preservation of the health of
British Seamen, but their moral improvement,
and therefore the country cannot but view the
conduct of the Board of Admiralty with the
highest respect and gratitude for regulations,
which are likely to be attended with beneficial
consequences of the utmost importance to the
Empire at large,
