EXPRESSES FROM FRANKFORT AND PARIS.

We have this morning received most important

intelligence by Expresses both from Paris .and
Frankfort. The Readers of the Strx have had

abundant evidence of the accuracy and correct

information of our Foreign Correspondents,

some of wbom, indeed, hold stations which

enable them to speak with absolute certainty of

the important affairs on which they think fit to

commumicate with us. 'They may therefore rely,

with ns unlimited confidence us we ourselves

do, on the truth of what we are now about to

state.

Our Frankfort Correspondent gives us the

momentous and truly alarming information, tha

the Congress of Ministers at Johanasberg have

resolved, that assistance shall be given to Spain,

far the recovery of her South American colonies

This resolution has been adopted, on the re

presentations made by Spain, as to the distract

*d and unhappy condition of Spanish America,

torn and desolated by military factions, while

the great majority of the population are at

tached to the mother country, desirous o

being re-united to her, and only awaiting the

appearance of an adequate force from Europe to

enable them decidedly to manifest their true dis

positions. Thus much for the intelligence from
Frankfort, and Which' at once puts in jeopardy the

peace of Europe and the indPpendence of Attie

rice, and most unsatisfactorily accounts for the

naval manauvres of France and Russia, so op

portunely entered upon just at the time that the

decision of the congress of Ministers upon the

South America question renders it necessary that

the fleets of these two Powers should be put in

motion.

Our Express from Paris brings the scarcely

less important intelligence, that it is now be

lieved in the Ministerial circles that M. de Vir

mu cannot by possibility hold his ground, bu
must retire from the Ministry. The resigns

tioo or dismissal of AI. de Vit.LLLE, therefore,

may be daily expected. The true position of this

Minister was not yet generally kno►rn in Paris ;

but affairs are altogether looked upon us 4'o

gloomy in that, capital, that the French Funds,
instead of recovering from the late shock, are

lowering, and were on Monday at 981. 35c.

CITY, fIALr•PAST OVE O'CLOCK.

The panic still continues in the Money Markets,
and all descriptions of Public Securities, parti-
cularly South American, are lower. Consols
for Account opened so low as 9141, and are now
Colombian Scrip is at 8 dis. and Mexican
Bonds have fallen to 50 and 50, in spite of all
the efforts made to keep them up. The ruinous
consequences that arestill to he feared from theEse
loans to great numbers of families, cuunot be
too much deplored.

DEAL, JULY 9.o.—The Russian frigate Pro-
vor•nia, of 44 guns, Captain KASINE, arrived in
the Down►► last evening from Cronstadt, destined
for Brest and Gibraltar, and sailed this morning.
—A Russian squadron of two ships of the line
and six frigates.sailed from Cronstadt in a direc-
tion to the Westward of the Orkney Islands on
a cruize.—The celebrated Commodore O'l3nt EN
etinbarked this afternoon in hip► cutter, The Royal
Gift, fur Ramsgate and Windsor, in presence of
a considerable number of spectators,
.whom ln•
saluted from his vessel with ten guns.

We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday
and the Mode of Monday, and have given copiou.
extracts from them in auother column. The
Moniteur and the Emile fully confirm the forma.
tion of a powerful French squadron, which, it is
given out, is to manceuvre in the Mediterranean.
This fact, in addition to so many other suspicious
circumstances, and particularly to the appearance
of a Russian squadron, which, it is feared, is
destined for the coast of South America, together
with the ominous proceedings of the Ministerial
Congress at Juhannisberg, has excited no little
apprehension for the preservation of the present
general peace in this quarter of the World.—
Whatever may be the objects of the Naval
Armaments of France and Russia, it is pretty
evident that the Continental Governments are
muuriroering against the interests and the power
of Great Britain. No matter : their respective So-
vereigns owe the security of their thrones and the
independence of their dominions to our unbend-
.
ing fortitude and enormous sacrifices in resisting
the progress of the French revolution and in
breaking to 'pieces the military despotism of
BUONAPARTE. ' If they are so unwise as well as
so ungrateful as to provoke a conflict with
that very Power by which they themselves were
sustained in the day of their weakness end humi-
liation, they may find to their cost that England
is able to undo her own work, and to take from
them that which therowe to her magnanimity
and courage: Mr. CariNnio, It is true, has sald
that the circumstances of Europe are so al-
tered, that this country must henceforth be con-
tent to take a secondary stati..n in the poli-
tical system of the Continent, and to move
in future within her own orbit. But this
remark of our eloquent and courteous Fo-
reign Minister ought to be considered rather in
the light of a compliment to the Continental
Powers, than as a severe and useful truth as re.
spects the actual and relative condition, strength,
and resources of the British Empire, and as hav-
ing been more designed to conciliate the former
by its unpretending modesty and respectful de-
meanor, than to lessen the confidence of the Eng-
lish nation in their well-tried capabilities to main-
tain the rank which they have hitherto so gloriously
sustained in the civilized world. The circum-
, stances of Europe are indeed altered ; but the
principal alteration, viz. that of an enormous in•
crease to the productive powers, by the gigantic
progress of science and mechanism in all the
useful arts, is nearly exclusively in favour of
this country ; and if the means and ma-
terials for attack or defence which our disco-
veries and inventions place in almost profusion at
our disposal, be but skilfully drawn forth and
energetically employed, we are at this moment
more capable of waging a triumphant war with
half the world, than our ancestors ever were to
carry on a conflict with a single powerful State.
In addition to her prodigious physical strength
and nearly inexhaustible resources, England
also wields a moral force which would be
found irresistible whenever she might think it
necessary to resort to its exertion for her own
safety.

We this day lay before our Readers an import-
ant and encouraging viewfof the condition and
prospects of the Greeks, transmitted by the Hon.
Colonel STANHOPE, for the information of the
Greek Committee, in a letter to Mr. BOWnING.

Yostf%"day morning the. CHANCELLOR of tilt.

shire.
