LEIPZIG, JUNE 10.—The quantity of wool at
our fair, which is just finished, has been between 38 and 40,000
quintals. By a calculation not entirely to be depended upon,
there has been sold to foreigners, 26,000, and to the Germans
12,000 quintals, and the rest kept in store. The prices of the
finest quality were from 125 to 140 Rs. and some very fine
samples brought 170 Its. per quintal. The average prices are
as follows :—Fine wool, 100 to 124—less ditto, 80 to 90—
middling, 60 to 75—ordinary, 50 to 60. The finest and fine
wool had already been sold before the real beginning of the fair ;
and even for the ordinary quality the average prices were from
10 to 12 per cent. higher than last year • some change, however,
occurred in this respect toward the end the market, when the
prices lowered to last year's quotations. Never was the quan-
tity, 'of foreign buyers so considerable, particularly from Eng-
land ; yet it deserves notice, that a part of the finest wool
went towards the North to Warsaw, and to the South towards
Brune.

STocKnoi_m, MAN- the departure of the Ring
a Regency of four Meilibtrs of the Council of State will be
nominated. Daring the three months absence of Count Wet-
terstedt, the Portfolio of Foreign Affairs will be given to Count
Lowenhjelm ; and ..our Ambassador at the Court of Prussia,
the Chamberlain Von Braude], will act as Chancellor.

In the last fair at Pest the transactions in sheep's wool, to-
bacco, and wine, were considerable ; on the other hand, the
demand for manufactured goods, both large and small, was
slight.
COPENHAGEN, JUN 15.—The news of the rejection of
the plan forreducing the public debt in France had the effect of
a thunder-clap on our Exchange last Friday.
The obligations fell immediately from four to five per cent.
It is natural that when public securities like the French con-
tinue to bring in five per cent. interest, the reduction of the
interest from four to five per cent. in other countries cannot be
effected. Most of our speculators in the Funds expected that
our four cent. obligations would rise to 90 rix dollars in silver,
but at present there is no prospect of such a thing ; besides,
discount is too high for such a rise to he expected.
An English brig sunk on Friday opposite the custom-house
its crew were saved. It was a melancholy sight; the vessel had
a great leak, and was running in here, but a sudden gust of
wind caught her, and caused her to fill with water, so that she
sunk. The upper part of the vessel is visible.
JUNE 19.—An important plan, viz. the formation of a great
harbour near Elsinore, which has often been spoken of, is now
again taken into consideration, and may perhaps be soon carried
into effect. It was resolved upon so long ago as 1759, but dif-
ficulties rose in a quarter where they were least to be expected,
by which the place was so cirumstanced, that instead of a har-
bour for ships, it,turned-out to be only a small place for boats.
This little harbour, it is true, has been much improved of late
years, but the want of a harbour has become more and more
sensibly felt, as the many cases of stranded ships in December
last sufficiently prove. A person thoroughly qualified for the
purpose has now proposed a plan, which has been approved by
his Majesty, and we therefore hope to see the accomplishment
of this great work, which will do honour to the reign of Fer-
dinand .VI.

PETENSDURGII, JUNE 9.—llis Majesty has addressed a
Rescript to the Postmaster-General, Prince Alexander Galitzin,
commanding him to establish a particular office, with the ne-
cessary number of clerks, for the execution Of the Imperial
orders. The Counsellor of State, Popozo, is Director of this
office, the salaries in which are estimated at 15,000 roubles.
Madame Krudiner, who since 1822 has resided on her estate
in Livonia, set out on the sth, attended by Countess Golyzin,
Countess Cachotte, and Miss Maurice, who accompanied her
from Switzerland to the Crimea, where those ladies mean to
settle. She did not pass through this capital.
BERLTN JUNE 20.—1 t is not known who is to succeed
Baron \Verther at London, but it is affirmed that Count Golz
has declined this embassy.
One of the next measures relative to the University will pro-
bably be to limit the summer vacation, which is above two
months, to half that time.
CHRISTIANIA, JUNE B.—The Diet, after rejecting the
King's proposals for changes in the Constitution, took into con-
sideration some of the proposals that had been made by indi-
vidual Members in the Storthing of 1821, for changes in the
Constitution, the rejection of all which was advised by the Com-
mittee. Many of these would have led to a great diminution of
the Royal authority, as those of the Government would on the
other hand have greatly increased the power and influence of
the Crown.
MAYENCE, JUNE 10.—The last accounts from Holland
give the inhabitants of the countries on the Maine some hopes
of a demand for corn. At Amsterdam and Rotterdam, there
has of late been more doing in the markets, and several ships
were loaded in the expectation that the Ports of Portugal would
soon be opened. Letters from Bordeaux also say, that corn
had risen on account of the scarcity in Spain, and the little ap-
pearance of a good harvest in the South of rance.

FRANKFORT, JUNE 22.—Accounts from Constantinople of
the 26th of 31 ay say, it is asserted, that positive orders are now
sent for the evacuation of, the Principalities to the Seraskier of
Silistria, and the arrival of a-Russian Ambassador is therefore
confidently expected.
