40LE:11 QUIS DICTATE FALSUII AtUDEAT

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
We have this forenoon received, by Express,

n, litter from our vigilant and well-informed Cor-

I:',Bl3ondent at Paris, with the intelligence that

th
• e 'telegraph:had announced the issue of an
t‘rnnegy by FERDINAND VII.

A Second Express from Paris has brought us
,!l'e important and afflicting intelligence that the
1109alist Army in Peru has gained a signal vic-
to"7 over the Independents, and that Callao
l'as fallen into their hands. The news of this
ilvent had been brought by a French frigate,
"d Was immediately transmitted to the French
(itovernmen t.

The news of the defeat of the Independents iu
Peru has excited great alarm amongst the holders
of South American Securities. Peruvian Scrip
has fallen at once to 41 discount, and even that
low quotation may he considered nominal ; for
there is scarcely a purchaser at any price. All the
South American Funds feel the effects of this
blow, and are heavy in the market. It is, under
all circumstances, matter of congratulation that the
British Public have fortunately escaped the Loan
vrhich was recently in treaty for the Brazils.—
'the contract for the Peruvian Loan, for in-
stance, was taken at 85,—was given to the Sub-
scribers at 882,—and the Subscribers again
favoured the public with them, at a premium
of 41,—so that the profits upon the whole
transaction, for the speculators, amounted to
the enormous sum of six or seven hundred
thousand pounds before the second payment'.—
The speculators are now getting money to
make the second payment at the rate of 22
Or 43 per cent. Can the public be so gulled
as to invest their property in these insecurities,
Wider the risk, for the sake of a fallacious pro-
spect of high Interest, of losing their capital
altogether ?

Two o'C/ock.--Consols opened at 961, and
have not undergone any fluctuation. Indeed
there is little or nothing doing
public securities. in any kind of

In a preceding column we have given extracts
from the Paris Papers of Monday and Tuesday.
Several additional French regiments, it will be
6betrvod, are ordered into Spain: General
Count GUILLF.MINOT has sailed from Toulon on
I'4 Embassy to Constantinople.

We have received letters from Pernambuco of
the 10th March, by the ship Alexander, Capt.
"IPA which arrived at Cowes yesterday. An
I"egiiiil frigate had arrived from Bahia, and the
state of affairs at Pernambuco was so very un-
settled and precarious, that the European Por-
tQgtlese had requested to be conveyed in her to
IluroPe, with their families and property.

In a Second Edition of TILE Sum, on the 6th
instant, we exclusively announced the arrival of
thret more French ships of war in the Tagus.
t°n2 our extract from the Times of this mora-
l:lg (vide fourth page), it will be seen that our
Ifnformation on this subject is in substance con-
'tilled, and that the French Government have
reiterated their pacific explanations of all these
by of their marine. The account. given
by
the Times is that the additional arrival in the
4agus was of two ships of war ; and the expla-
ilatinn of the Cabinet of the Tuileries is that
these
ships only made a call at Lisbon on their
voyage from Brest to Cadiz with provisions for
tie garrison of that city.

The latest ad vices from Amsterdam state that
°ld Prussian Bonds have advanced there to

1061. Dutch, 2 per Cents. had risen from GO
to Gli. Similar advices from Frankfort quote
Austrian Stock there at 9A2. At. Hamburgh
the same Stock has advanced from 97 to
994. Indeed, throughout the Continent the
Securities of all old established Governments
are in great request, and are generally im-
proving in value. General Merchants seem
almost every where to have become dealers in
public Stocks ; so that this species of property
has become so extensive an article of traffic that
there are more Stock Merchants than any ether
class of mercantile men.

The following article, which we extract from
the Morning Chronicle of this day, corroborates
nearly all that we have for some tim-a past said
on the subject of South America, and of the in-
jurious consequences which result to British in-
terests from the uncertain and precarious state
of the new Governments of that Continent :

•
" Crr T, Wednesday Evening.—On the English Stock Ex- I
change the Consols for the Settlement, on the 25th current,
opened this morning at Hi I, but there was extremely little
animation in the market, and they closed at the opening price-
-There is a kind of doubt hanging over the money market at
present, for which it is impossible to give any well-founded
reason. Some attribute the existence of this temporary dull-
ness to the supposed interference of the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer with the Sinking Fund, in applying it to the re-
demption of the sum which the-Bank of England will pay,
on the 10th of Octriber, to those who will not accept of
three and a half per cent. interest for their four per cent. stock,
the total amount of which cannot exceeclllikven millions, ster-
ling, but, most probably, will be found considerably less.
There are others, who suppose that the preseekk uncertainty,
which exists in the public mind, respecting the real though
hidden intentions of the Holy Allied Monarchs, and of the
BOURBONS towards Spanish and Portuguese America, is a
well-founded reason for the cautious conduct which Capi_
talists spew in their investments of money in Public National
Securities. It is well known that this uncertainty paralyses the
Trade betwixt Great Britain and the New American States,__
for so long as' the public mind is disturbed by rumours,
however extravagant, commerce cannot be carried on to the
extent, and with the advantages, which, under a mare settled
system, would most assuredly be reaped from a close alliance
with these rich and extensive Republics. A Newspaper, for
instance, was exhibited this day on the Royal Exchange, dated
in Rio on the 3d of March, tho Editor of which, it is known,
went some time ago from Paris to the Brazils. The principles
of this paper are truly Royalist, and its Conductor is loud in
the praises of the Holy Alliance, and in condemnation of the
conduct of his Britannic Majesty's Ministers. If the inde-
pendence of the Brazilian Empire was acknowledged by Great
Britain, this Newspaper would not attract much attention ;
but when suspicions are generally entertained that the European
Continental Monarchs are secretly aiding the disaffected, and
encouraging hostility to the freedom of the Americans, consi-
derable importance may be attached even to the existence of
this servile Paper at Rio. It is clear, for instance, that a
Newspaper uttering democratic sentiments would not be to..
lerated a single day at Rio. It is therefore a matter both
of regret and surprise, that Ministers; who profess the in.
terest of England alone to be the sole. guide of their pub-
lie conduct, do not at once put an end to all doubt and un-
certainty
respecting the freedom of America, by forming
Treaties of Commerce and Friendship with the new States,
and by recognising their sovereignty
and independence.—Mr.
Canning, when this business was last mentioned in the House
of Commons, stated, that he waited the return of a messenger
from Madrid. This messenger must long since have returned,
and it is only justice to the Merchants of Great Britain, that
they should now be informed, whether the Ministers of his
Britannic Majesty consider the new American Republics free
and independent or not ; for until this fact be established,
either one way or other, the present fever must increase to the
great detriment of the best interests of the British Crown."

We have received the following from the Spanisl
Capital :

(PRIVATE LETTER.)
MADRID, APRIL 26.—The Court quitted Toledo, the day
before yesterday, for Aranjuez ; it was reported they were to
arrive at Madrid to-morrow, but it is more probable they will
remain in that palace all the next month. Monsr. Le Marquis
de Talaru, the French Ambassador, arrived the day before
yesterday at Toledo ; it is expected he will soon set off for
Paris. A change has been rumoured for some days past in the
ministry; and the persons named are Don Victor Saez, Le
Baron d'Eroles, and Campana. The following fact is the cause
of this rumour :—The Minister of Grace and Justice, unknown
to his Majesty, had sent orders to Don Saez to leave Toledo
during the stay of the King in that city ; but the Chapter of
the Cathedral had requested him to meet the King on Ins
entry, and to address hini in his name. Don Saez resolved to
perform this mission before he obeyed the orders of the Mini-
ster. After haranguing his Majesty, Don Saez concluded in
these words:—" Sire, I hope your Majesty will not take it
amiss, if I do not appear again in your presence during
your Majesty's stay in this city, as I have received your
Ministers' orders to quit it during that time." To which the
King replied—" I know nothing of such an order; you may
remain." From this time Ministers feared that Don Saez
would be invested with public affairs, and name his own friends
for his colleagues ; but the favour of the King has not, as yet,
exceeded a gracious reception. The Generals charged with the
organization of the army have decided, in a Council of the
King, to proceed in a levy of 60,000 to 60,000 men, 20,000 of
whom are destined for an expedition against South America.
The capital is tranquil, but trade is paralited. The house of
Wermane Gowe has stopped payment; this Was one of the first
houses in the city.
(ExTriAcT OF ANOTHER LETTER.)
MADRID, APRIL 26.—1 t is presumed that the arrival
of Baron d'Eroles in this capital has given rise to the reports
of a change of Ministers. The Liberals affect always to
place in the first rank the man they dread the most. They there-
fore pretend that Victor Saez will, for the twentieth time,
receive the Porteuille of the Prime Minister; the Duke de
San Carlos, Ambassador at Paris, is to be the Minister de la
Justice ct des Graces ; the Baron d'Eroles, the War Minister ;
Don Juan Pedro Vincenti, the present Director of the Sinking
Fund, to be the Minister of Finance ; General Campana will be
named Foreign Minister. It is difficult to find in the Penin-
sula men more devoted, more faithful, and who have given
greater proofs of attachment to the throne, or greater proofs of
superior talents. Much is talked of the new levy of 50,000 men ;
the Royal decree is expected in a few days; half this force will
be destined for South America.

(PRIVATE LETTER.)
MADRID, APRIL 29.—The 26th instant, about five o'clock
in the afternoon, a terrible hurricane, which happily did not
last long, threw this capital into the greatest alarm anti con-
sternation. A thick cloud of dust covered, for a short time,
the whole of the city,which rendered it impossible to distinguish
any object in the streets ; a furious wind overthrew every thing
it met in its passage ; a loud clap of thunder ; the noise of shut-
ters, the windows, and doors, which were shut with precipitation
in the smaller shops; the signs were broken to pieces, and car-
ried to a considerable distance. For four or five minutes the
streets presented a melancholy spectacle, and announced a
dreadful catastrophe. Previous to the hurricane the atmos-
phere was sultry, with a predominant smell of sulphur ; the
thermometer marked more than 24 degrees of heat, and fell,
instantly the- storm was over, to between 10 and 12. In the
walks of the Prado and Retiro, and the environs of the city,
more than 100 trees Were torn up, and much damage is done in
the country.

Nothing of importance occurred in either House
of Parliament yesterday ; and both Houses rose
at a very early hour.

The Cabinet dined with Earl of WESTMOR-
LAND yesterday at his house in Grosvenor-square,
Yesterday Prince POLIGNAC (the French Am.
bassador), had a long interview with the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. _ _

The Duchess of BEDFORD is considerably re-
covered from her indisposition.
Viscountess BULKELEY is much indisposed at
her house in Stanhope-street, May-fair.

THE KING.
WilmsOn, MAY l2.—His MAJESTY, accompanied by the
Marquis Conyngliam, left the Palace in his travelling car-
riage this afternoon, at a quarter before three o'clock, for the
Royal Lodge.—His Majesty rode through the town and up the
Long-walk, and seemed in greatly improved health and spirits.
This morning Count Munster arrived at the Palace, and left
again this afternoon at three o'clock for London.
