Extract of a Letter from Islay, Nov. 13.—" We have ru-
mours of war between Bolivia and Peru, and the event is
weekly expected to take place. I have seen letters from the
capital of Peru, in which Bolivia is threatened with invasion,
and that there is much dissatisfaction among the higher orders
of the people in Bolivia opposed to the present administration
of Government. Those who have large interests in the Pro-
vince fear a revolution will soon take place, and the
Peruvians are ready to join one party or the other, which will
involve fearful consequences."
Accounts from Monte Video, Nov. 2, state that Rivera, on
learning the Treaty, immediately placed an embargo on all
vessels in the harbour, in order to prohibit their going up to
Buenos Ayres. There were at the time near 300 merchant
vessels lying there ; about 25 of which were American. As
soon as the English and American Commodores heard of this
embargo, they formally protested against it.
BRITISH CONSUL AT HAVANNAH.—A letter from Havan-
nah states that Mr. Turnbull, recently appointed British Con-
sul there, had been refused his exequator by the Spanish Go-
vernment, and had consequently been ordered by his own Go-
vernment to place the Consulate in the hands of Mr. Jackson,
a Member of the Mixed Commission. The cause is stated to
be Mr. Turnbull's abolition principles and activity, which gave
great offence at Havannah.

We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's

BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, FEB. 15.—The amelioration of

participated in the rise at Paris and Antwerp : after the closing
they were 22 1-16 22A ; Coupons, 21i
The remainder of the loan of eighty-two millions of francs
(above thirty millions of francs) has been contracted for by
;t1.1.1. Rothschild Brothers. At present we are unacquainted
at what rate this part of the loan has been contracted for, but
we only know it is ay, higher price than that of the last.

A letter Irons the Frontiers of Turkey, Jan. 30, published
in the Gazette de Cologne, states as follows

" Redschid Pacha has to combat against a strong party in
the Divan : it is Russia which has excited that party, as she
does not wish to see in the Ministry the English interest.

HALF-PAST ONE.
Accounts from Amsterdam in the Journal of Antwerp, re-
ceived this morning, state that a General Assembly was held
there, by the Directors of the Trading Company, to take into
consideration the proposals of the Government. This assembly
was held secret ; still something was known on the subject of their
meeting. The Government appears decided to have the con-
tract annulled ; that is, the capitalization concluded with the
Government, is so much disliked by the Chambers and
the public, that the Government refuses to pay the 5 per cent.
interest, and proposes to reduce it to 4i per cent.
Up to the present time there does not appear to be the least
spirit for speculation in the British Market. Consols have
been during the whole of the morning 883, alternately buyers
and sellers, for the Account; Money t3B ; Exchequer Bills 5 7
prem. ; Bank Stock 164 ; India Stock 247; India Bonds 15 dis.
