[FIIOSI A COERF.SPONDENTA

STOCK EiCIIANGY, Ilatf-past Twelve &Clock.—
Cousola opened this morning at BG-i to 81, but
not much business doing. The expresses from
Paris this morning brought the French funds of
Saturday at 88f. 10 e. The price at leaving
off is stated in the private letters by the above
conveyance to be owing to the English Mi-
nisterial Papers, which are continually writing
against a peace between France and Spain,
and throw a damp on the French mar-
ket ; but in regard to political information, no-
thing was known in the above Capital when the
express left : and they were still waiting the issue
from the Court of Madrid in regard to the Columbia
Loan; nothing has as yet transpired from the new
Charge d'Affairs concerning this Loan, but it is
generally thought that some negociation is going
forward with the above Gentleman and the Con-
tractors on the above subject..

FOREIGN FUNDS.—New Spanish Bonds opened
this morning at 54i, at which price they are up
to this hour ; the only business doing is in Co-
lumbian and New Spanish.

The news received by the French Journals is
not important. We have inserted the most in-
teresting articles under the head '6 Foreign In-
telligence"

The Dutch Mail, with Papers to
,the 4th inst.
came to hand this morning. From Frankfort
they write, that a letter has been received from
any European merchant at Peru, which says that
war between -Russia and the Porte was consi.
tiered as in evitable.----T he Russians are considered
by the Turks as being the instigators of all the
troubles of Turkey by sea and land. From
Frankfort they also mention that the specific
mission of Lord STRANGPORD and Baron I,lu-
zrurruN, the Austrian Minister to Constanti-
nople, is likely to fail, on account of the changed
state of that capital.---Accounts from Switzer.
land say that there has not been such a fall of
snow for forty years as has occurred this winter,
and that six persons have perished from the in-
clemency of the weather.

A Spanish Mail arrived yesterday, but the in-
telligence it brought was anticipated by accounts
to the 25th ult., contained in the Paris Journals.
The Papers received by the Mail reach only to the
itith. The Universal of the 17th has some notes
on the article of the Journal des. Details of the
klth, in which the imprudence of an armed in-
tervention with Spain was so forcibly pointed
°4t. The Spanish Journalist observes, that there
`'such truth mixed up with an equal quantity of

error in the view which the French writer takes
of the state of Spain. He agrees with the Jour--
,
nal des Debrds, that materials for composing a
House of Peers are not to be found in Spain.
The supposition of anarchy in Madrid is repelled
as a gross calumny ; and it is observed—" If in
some provinces that anarchy which always ac-
companies civil war be experienced, it is the
height of infamy toattribute that anarchy to the
Constitution, when it is so evidently the work-
manship of those persons who have by intrigue
and bribery raised the flame of rebellion, and in-
stigated disobedience to the laws. This is as
absurd as it would be for a physician to pretend
that he is alarmed at the height of his patient's
fever, and yet give him medicines to increase it."

A regular file of American Papers, to the Bth
of December, arrived this morning.

( From the Commercial Advertizer, Dc.. 7. )

SLATE TRADE.—By the Congressional pro.
ceedings it will be seen that there is at length a
prospect that Congress will go the right way to
work to suppress the Slave Trade. We have
always contended that the only effectual mode
by which this desirable object can be accom•
plisted, would be to have a conditional• atid
limited mutual right of search allowed. Great
Britain has repeatedly offered this. Let the
United States come into a measure and all
Europe will follow.

MEXICO.--By the last dates a spirit of dissatis-
faction was spreading in the new Empire, which
threatened . to overthrow the new Imperial Go-
vernment, and substitute a Republican from the
first Army sent to Guatemala, had been. defeated,
and a fresh force was ordered thither, but it was
thought it would be also routed by the Repub-
licans. Terms had been offered the. Royal Go-
vernment of Peru. Arrests of distinguished indi-
viduals are frequent in Mexico.
MEXICAN MINISTER..—In the British barque
Muria, arrived in Hampton Roads 'on' the 27th,
came as passenger the Mexican Ambassador to
the Government of the United States, Don.
JOSEPII lonkGA, with Don Toitais, his Secre-
tary.

PlavrEs.---Capt. CALDWELL, from Havannah,
confirms the report, received several days since,
of the capture of Pirates by a British sloop of
war ; he states they had attacked the Pirates
near Matanza, and taken about 30; the remainder
were driven on shore. In addition to the above,
it is reported that the Tyne had engaged the
Pirates, and taken c. 29 prisoners. The British
lost 12 killed, besides wounded. The loss of
the Pirates was supposed to be about 40 or-50.
FROM BRAZIL.—By the Brig Factor ,s.e learn
that Pernambuco was in a very unsettled state.
A revolution. had been effected in the Govern.
ment by the soldiery, on account of some trans-
actions relating to the Rio squadron. The
Government called in the Militia, to oppose the
regular troops : a battle was fought at Oneida,
in which the militia were beaten, and some of
the Rulers taken prisoners. The President
of the Junta escaped on board the English packet
which sailed for Rio. A new Junta 'was nomi.
nated by PEDNOZA, the Governor of Arras, and
were elected by the soldiery, but the people op.
posed this election. The Rio squadron sailed
from Pernambuco on the 18th Sept. and.arrived
olf Bahia on the 19th. No troops were expected
in the Brazils from Portugal.

Letters received this morning, dated Dec. 26,
from Gibraltar, state the death of MuLY So-
LIMAN, Emperor of Morocco, on the 28th No-
vember, and MuLy ARDAHUAN has been ap-
pointed in his stead. Every thing was quiet in
that capital.

LLOYD'S JAR. 6.—The reports in most of the
Papers of the loss of his Majesty's ship Alligator
is unfounded : it should have been staled—the
American schooner Alligator. his Majesty's
ship Alligator sailed from Madeira the 14th
Oct. for the Cape of Good Hope and Bombay.

We have [copied from the Dublin Correspon-
dent the important and unexpected intelligence
that the- Grand. Jury have .ignored the Bills
against the persons' indicted for the atrocious at-
tack in the Theatre upon the LORD LIEUTENANT.
The ATTORN'iY.GENERAL for Ireland, on the
annunciation being made to the Court, imme-
diately expressed his surprise at the decision of
the Grand Jail, and declared his resolution to
prosecute the persons
accused by ex officio: in-
formations. We have . learned from a private
source of information, that Mr. Foams and. the
other prisoners' have. been adthitted to bail.

On. Friday night. Mr. LITTLtWOOh, the King's
Messeuger, left _town with dispatches for St.
Petersburgh.

Saturday,: soon after one
o'clock, Lord
SUSSEX LENNOX, the brother to the Duke of
RICHMOND, arrived in Downing-street', with dis-
patches from Sir THOMAS MAITLAND, the Lord
High Commissioner of the lonian Islands.
