L'alracts from the Morning Papers, October. 31.

[stottNnau eon]
An Exprecwarrived in town late yesterday
afternoon, bringing letters from Paris, dated
Wednesday two o'clock P. in.; according to
viehich it would appear that dispatches of a very
important nature from Spain had just reached the
FrVitch capital, announcing that Ferdinand had
determieed to recut that part of his Proclamation
of the Ist which annulled the Spanish Loan.
Although there was nothing official itt this corn-
muuication, the effect on the money market was
very great. Tr. Spanish Bonds of 1821 rose in
u short time four and a half per cent. ;.the ex-
treme quotations being 231 and SO. The im-
provement iu *he New Bonds was also .consider•
able, as they mounted from 19 to 24 ; and both
securities closed only one quarter per cent. lower
than the highest price which they had attained. Se-
veral versions of the intelligence received from Paris
Were immediately circuit' tell, but none of a contra-
dictory nature. That. which obtained most credit
stated drat it was the FrenchMinisters`who had in-
duced the King of France to declare to Ferdinand
that ha most recognise the loans which had taken
place, or be abatidoned by the French army to
Ilia own resources. The ferment in the Foreign
Stock market, yesterday, was much increased by,
the circumstance of this day being settling day.
In the course of the afternoon no less than five
failures occurred) but the names were not to be
announced till today, when several others were
expected to be declared. There was also a great
fluctuation in Colombian Bonds, in consequence of
the receipt of an Express from Falmouth, an-
nouncing the arrival of the ,Nocton Packet from Ja-
maica. The letters and papers have since reach-
ed town, and are dated on the 9th ult. They
confirm the unfavourable report of. the Executive
Government of Cidombia haviug sanctioned the
Act- of tire Seeate and House of Representatives
for not ratifying the Loan. The Contractors in
London, however, up to a late hour yesterday
evening, had not received their dispatches. The
fluctuations in Colombian Bonds yesterday were
between 551 and In, but in the course of the
afternoon they recovered two and a half per
cent, The news from Paris, with respect to the
Spanish Loan, operated in the first instance fa-
vourably on our own Funds. Consols for Ac-
eount, which were extremely depressed in the
morning, recovered one-half per cent., but ler-
or within a quarter per cent. of the lowest quo
tations,

[NiOnNINCi CnitONICLE.]
An •express from Paris, front a quarter which
may be relied on, states in a positive manner,
that Ferdinand has revoked the most outrageous
of the .Decrees issued by him ,sipee his keying
Cadiz, including the famous Decree of the Ist
'October. This has been effected solely by
'reach influence. A confident expectation has
indeed been for some time entertained that the
Spanish Bonds would be recognized. But as
we have already more than onee obeeeved, the
mere recognitiem of these Bonds emonuts to very
little. Their basis, that which alone gave any
value to them, cannot be recognized, the hypo-
thec of the rational estates. Ferdinand has
been restored to arbitrary povrer .by the Church,
and the Inquisition will not abate one iota of its
claims. A revenue cannot be raised in Spain, in
its present stifle; and, from the dominion of the
Church, deterioration rather than amelioration
must be expected. There cart be no eeterprize
ceder an Inquisition. Things will, soon return to
that state which Mr. Blanco White lets so ably
end feelingly depicted in his Doirludo's Letters,
tied the last number of the Quarterly Revieze.--=
intellect and activity of mind still only call down
persecutiou on, the, head of the posse,,or. For
tt'e Spaniards themselves, the occupation of the
,country by the French would be the greatest be-
cent which could be conferred on them, be-
ceuse, unprincipled as is the French Govern-
ment, the people being comparatively enlightened
arid accustomed to order, they could not fail to
introduce among the conquered many valuable
improvements. But the French will only occupy
es much of Spain as will enable the Inquisition
to proceed fearle4ly ie its career of debasement.
-What more iv required to, calm the apprehen-
sions of the nations? Ferdinand complies with the
wishes of his protectors, France complies with
the wishes of England, and yet, the prices of
the Public Securities of every country (those of
Spain excepted) ate, on the decline. Thellonar-
chical principle now prevails from one extremity
of Europe to the other—our Ministers, after their
toil, are now recreating themselves in the coon•

would be Cabinet Meetings. But the public
mind Was not been tranquillized by this assure
*nee, The truth is, that the people place no re.
fiance lehatever on the assurauces of the different
European Governments. They see their targy

The war in Spain is drawing rapidly to a
oiose ; there is only one, single Spaniard remain-
ing for The Tinio to abuse, .and even he is waver.;
lug. That consistent Journal, which breathed
Nue, entire confidence in the 1111361110114 and
heroic patriotism of !ht whole Spanish nation,
trns successively alrrr,sed every military Com
tratuder on the Constitutional side, from Abisbal
to Valdes, and now there is only Mina re..
mining. This worthy Chieftain has offered
to surrender Illrcelona, and for that purpose
has sent flags of truce, to the French head-quay-
tars in Catalonia. Marshal Moucey was disposed
to.bave granted him terms, but an order from, the
King of Spain positively forbade any personal
conditions being grouted, to Mina, This proves
two paints : Ist, that the Spanish tioyalisth fvel
themselvesloucit stroller than is commonly be-
lieved here ; and secondly, the crimes of which
Mina has been guilty is the face of the world
have marked him one as no common offender.
Those who are merely implicated in the crime of
Rebellion are spared ; but Humanity itself cries
