'rite following extract of a Letter from Paris,
of the 4th, seems to confirm the intelligence, fur-
nished to us yesterday by our City Correspond-
ent, relative to FERDINAND'S alleged Decree re-
specting- the trade with South America :

" It is most confidently affirmed that a Tele-
graphic Dispatch from Madrid, of the highest
importance, has been received by the Govern-
ment here. It announces that FERDINAND VII.,
at the solicitation of France, has promulgated
a Decree, which renders free, for all nations,
the- trade with the Spanish Colonies, upon the
principle of perfect reciprocity.
" It is further confidently affirmed that the
Convention which regulates the continuance of
our troops in Spain has been signed,—which, with
the treaty respecting the capture of prizes, and
the acknowledgment of our claim for 24 millions,
terminates all our affairs with Spain.
" It is said that M. the Marquess de TALARII,
is about to receive the Cordon Bleu."

We have seen a letter from Paris, stating, that
on Saturday night a Consultation of Physicians
was held, which reported the KING to be in a
dangerous state, and it was not expected he
would survive the month of March.

Crry, Twelve .'Clock.---Consols opened this
morning at 9114, at.sd soon after lowered to 9111
for the Account, and for Money 914-2 ; but up
to this hour they are 911, buyers, for the Ac-
count. The Nlonev Market is very heavy this
morning, owing, it is supposed, to cash being
scarce: there is not much business doing. Up to
this hour I do not hear of any Express from
Paris, which is now anxiously looked for, to ob-
tain correct information concerning the Decree
Of FERDINAND in regard to South America. A
report prevails that the Persians have declared
war against the Turks.

FOREIGN' MARKET.—The Market is not in so
favourable a state as yesterday, and it tippearz
that the parties who purchased on the informa-
tion from Paris have over-bought themselves, as
most of the South American Securities have

som;ewhat lowered this morning. Spanish Bonds
OPened.at 25:, with little doing. lam informed
that the Greek Loan is expected to be brought
forward shortly, under very favourable auspices.

Last night Mr. HUMS opposed the vote of
29,000 seamen and marines for the service of the
year, and moved an amendment that the number
he limited to 25,000. The Hon. Member, however,
subsequently withdrew his amendment, in conse-
quence of the powerful appeal made to the House
by Mr. Secretary CANNING, on the necessity
which exists for our having a strong Naval force
in the Mediterranean, the West Indies, and
on the coasts of South America. Though the
pacific assurances of Foreign Powers, (the
Right Honourable Gentleman said), are of the
strongest kind, yet from the agitated state of the
world and the possible occurrence of events
which might call for the exertion of our power,
it was proper that the country should be in
such an attitude as Would convince foreign Go-
vernments that she was both able and pre-
pared to maintain her interests and rights.
—The financial Expose of the CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER IS still anxiously looked for,
and the highest expectations are entertained as
to the favourable impression which it will make
upon the country.

We have received Gibraltar Papers to the
28th ult., from which we make the following
extracts :

(FROM THE CHRONICLE OF 25TIL)

" According to Ship Letters from Smyrna, bands of wander-
ing tribes had begun to show themselves upon the frontiers of
Persia, and have even pushed their incursions as far as
Aleppo, where they have occasioned great consternation."
(FROM THE TAPEII OF 24TH.).

" Letters from Illarseilles state, that a Commissary of Police
has intimated to all Spaniards who are at that Port, to proceed
to Alencon, and most of them have departed, and as fast as
others come up they receive the same order. This measure is
not confined to soldiers and refugees, but extends to all
Spaniards, from whatever point they come.
" A letter from Zante, of the 2d tilt., states that the Alger-
ine squadron, which was cruising off Missolonghi, had just
been destroyed by a nasal division from llydra, that had con-
veyed Alexander Mavrocordato to Etolia.'

Dispatches from the Duke Of MANCHESTER,
Governor of Jamaica, dated the 12th ult. arrived
yesterday. At that date, we are happy to find,
the island was in a state of perfect tranquillity,
the Negroes having returned to their ordinary
occupations.
The SPEAKER'S Parliamentary Levees for the
present Session will commence on Saturday next,
