EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

Since writing the above we have received Paris
Papers of ‘Vednesday, from which the following
are Extracts :

Yesterday afternoon the Duke of Angoulem•
arrived at Paris from Fontainbleau.
A Council of Ministers was held yesterday at
•
the house of M. Villele.

Count Pozzo di I3orgo I expected at Pari•
to-day.

Letters of a recent date, from Rome, an-
nounce that the indisposition of the Pope is by
no means alarming.

Letters from Madrid of the 14th inst. announce
that Casa Irujo is expected to resign his post in
the Cabinet.

M, Carthagne, Chancellor of the French Em-
bassy at Constantinople, has just arrived at Paris
with dispatches.
(Extract of a Private Letter from Vicnna,)llli
The turn that affairs have taken at Constanti-
nople is said to be owing to the influence exerted
by Dschamb Effendi since his return to the Divan.
Without disapproving all that has been promised
to Lord Strangford, he speaks loudly against
every kind of concession, until Russia manifests
a more moderate system. The determination of
the Divan not to evacuate
,the Principalities till
Russia has withdrawn her troops from the fron-
tiers, makes great noise at Para. The Russian
Agent is not expected before February, and it is
probable that, when intelligence of the Porte's
refusal to evacuate Moldavia and Wallachia has

reached St. Petersburgh, he will have orders to

return.

A great number of Spanish emigrants have re,
cently arrived at Marseilles.

PARIS, Dgc. 24.—(Slock Exchange.)—The
Market has been more animated, and the ordi-
nance for the dissolution of the Chamber net ha-
ving appeared to-day as was expected, caused
the price of Stocks to maintain its ground, al-
though not very steadily. The Five per Cents.
for money closed at 91-80 for the end of the
month. The price, at 4 o'clock, was 91.80 francs.
The Foreign Funds have been extremely dull.—
London paper has been negociated to a consider-
able extent.—French Itentes, after the Close of
the Exchange, 92 1. 6 c.—Spanish Bonds, 281.

Private letters from Rome state, that a strong
shock of an earthquake was experienced at Rome
on the 4th of this month.

ClTY.—This day is a clout holiday both at the
Bank and Stock Exchange; but a number of
Brokers are asse►nbled at the Auction Mart, and
up to this hour (twelve o'clock) not a bargain
has been done.--Spanisl► is nominal, at 2624.

Some of our contemporaries have treated very
lightly the equipment of the San Pablo and San
Was, ships of the line, and three corvettes, at
Cadiz, for South America. From the informa-
tion, however, which we have obtained, we have
reason to believe that several more Spanish ships
of war are fitting out in various ports of
Spain, in addition to the apparently insigni-
ficant squadron at Cadiz. We understand that
•ne of the French Ministers very recently affected
to express his astonishment that the Spanish
Government had been able to find the money
and other means for making these naval prepare.
tions. Perhaps he or some of his colleagues
could, if they thought proper, put the world in
possession of the secret ! Let us take care that w•
are not one day surprised with the unexpected
intelligence that the Cadiz squadron has run
away with the French garrison of that celebrat-
ed city !

We have received Now York Papers to the
Ist instant inclusive. The following article
is the most important. Porto Covello was the
last port of any consequence which was in pos-
session of the Royalists. The two extremities of
the Into Spanish dominions in South America may
HOW be said to be entirely free :
" PORT CAVELLO.—Tho intelligence we pub-
lished on Saturday, of the rapture of Porto Ca-
rano, as it was furnished to us by Captain Hip-
kins,is fully confirmed by the letters he brought.

4c The troops under Oenerals Paoz and Ber-
mudez made un assault on the town on the Bth
ult., and lifter having put to the sword every one
found making resistance, the Colombian troops
were in peaceable possession of the town at four
o'clock in the morning. Gen. Calzeda and Col.
Carrera fell nt the commencement of the attack.
The castle, at the entrance of the port, was then
summoned, and surrendered on the 10th. Thu
details are not received.

66 An express from General Paez arrived at
Laguira on the 13th, with the above intelligence,
and with a request that transports might be sent
to convey the captured troops to Cuba.
66 The troops of Spain are now driven from the
whole of the extensive Republic of Colombia.—
Although no doubt existed of their final expul-
sion from this their last strong hold, we consider
it fortunate that the event has occurred at this
time. Porto Cavello is considered the Gibraltar
of America : had supplies and reinforcements
been introduced, it might have held out and an-
noyed the country for a long period. The news
of the restoration of the Kiug of Spain to abso-
lute power, and of the designs of the lloly
Allies to restore the 4 American Colonies' to his
sway, will probably ere this time have reached
Colombia, and tultnonished her that all her re.
sources may yet be required to defend the liber-
ties she has just achieved at a great price. I f
again attacLed, the possession of Port Cavello
will be of vast importance."

We learn by the brig Emma, from Per-
nambucco, whence she sailed on the 21th
that the vessels which had been taken by Lord
Cochrane at Bahia, hnd arrived at Pernmnbuco,
been refitted, and sent to Rio. The Government
was in a very unsettled state, and the President
aid some of the leading men had become dissa-
tisfied, and retired to the country. A new Pre-
sident was about to be elected. The General-
at-Arms at Pernambuco had been arrested and
sent to prison. An insurrection among the
Blacks had taken place in a small town.—
Troops had been sent to quell them.—(.Nese lurk
Gazette, Dec. 1.)

.Accounts from Havanna'', of the 11th ultimo,
mention the return of tho Spanish Commissioners
from Mexico, and observe that there is now no
hope of peace.

Mr. Secretary CANNING, though somewhat
better in health, is still confined to the House.—
On Wednesday the Right lion. Gentleman was
visited by Count far.vsi ; and Berm, PAGEL
and Mr. FALcK, with Mr. WYNN, had another
interview. Lord GRANVILLE likewise called at
Gloucester Lodges in his way to the Pavilion.
