Mails were this morning received from Holland,.
France, and Malta. From the latter place the letters are dated
on the 29th November, and they communicate the information
that after the let of January all goods, British West or East
India Colonies, imported into the , Island front foreign ports,
would be subjected to the duties payable on foreign .produce or
manufactures, unless accompanied
hy regular certificates of
origin, or some other satisfactory docturient. It may not be
generally known that the tariff of duties established by the Au-
thorities at the free port of Malta, makes a difference, betwixt
British and Foreign merchandise, the latter being charged -
per tentage or two more than the former.
An express arrived this morning, which left Paris on Satur-
day evening. No political news of any consequence have been
received by this conveyance. The Rentes on that day fell .to
8790, but this decline may be probably attributed to the ef-
fects resulting from the last settlement of time bargains. Here
the Console for the settlement this month opened at 81, but were
heavy, and closed at 84 The flattering description of the
Revenue made no impression on them. It is said that Mr.
VANSITTART will be able to remit a million fhrther of uses,
but this sum will not be foUnd in any respect equal to the Wants
of the people.
The dealers in Foreign Stocks did not appeer an the Royal
Exchange, but confined their operations within the walla. of
'heir new Exchange. The public are consequently not well
nformed of the magnitude of the day's transactions, , but they
were reported not to have been very extensive. Spanish BOnds
of 1821 declined about 1i per cent., occasioned chiefly by the
want of news, and partly by ,a rumour that the French
Government had detected a private correspondence betwixt
some of the Officers of their Army of Observation and the
Spanish Government. They were also rendered heavy by a
contradiction having been given to the report that Lord V.
DENTINCK was about to proceed to Madrid.. The public
repose great =Menai in this Nobleman, and wonld he much
pleased were be to resume his command in the Mediterranean.
At present, however, hais not to be employed. Lord FIT Z.
ROY 8034elliSEY., and Lord F. GOWER, sail to-morrow for
Babes, on a Special mission to Madrid.
In Russia, Prussia, and Neapolitan Bonds, little business
has been .done, but their value is firm 3 and any con.

During butt week the supplies of grain In Mark-lone were
spurt, occasioned by the severity of the weather. They con-
listed only of 6377' quartets of wheat, 3551 tparters of barley,
1504 quarters of MU, with 5100 sacks of flour. Needy buyers
were consequently obliged to give an advance of Is. to 21. a qr.
