POSEN.
MARCH 20, TWELVE O'CLOCK AT NOON.—AII the
shops are closed. The Poles have published a procla-
mation, snd the Polish flag waves in the Bazaar. As
yet the military have taken no steps.
The whole of Posen and its environs is in a state of
excitement.
SEVEN O'CLOCK, P.m.—The disturbances are increas-
ing, and the Bazaar is densely thronged. The troops
are bivouacking, and the artillery has arrived.
BRESLAU. .

MARCH 21.—The excitement which prevailed yester-
day increased with the approach of evening, and num•
bers of work people, armed with axes and other wea-
pons, arranged themselves under one banner. They
took possession of the Lower Silesian Railway station,
seised the letter-bags, and demanded information re-
specting the letters addressed to the commandant Count
Brandenburg. This being refused, the dissatisfaction
increased.
At the request of the principal burghers, Edward
Count Raisenbach, and Samran, May, and Pelez,
mechanics, were constituted deputies of the people, and
last night issued a proclamation which has happily suc-
ceeded in allaying the excitement.—Hamburg Current,
March 24.

SWEDEN.
STOCKHOLM, MARCH 17.—The Committee of the
Constitution, after a very animated debate, and without
coming to the vote, have decided to deviate from the
former principles, and to draw up an elaborate project of
representation, proposing partial changes in the present
representative system.—Harnburgh Borsen Belle,
March 24.

ST. PETERSBURGH.
The Ramburgh Correspondent contains a long article
on the impression produced at St. Petersburgh by the
French Revolution, where the iron hand of despotism
so completely checks the spread of information by the
subjugation of the press, that all events of political im-
portance are comparatively little known. Men deceive
themselves, however, if they imagine that the electric
spark which has been kindled in France does not excite
apprehensions in the northern capital of despotism.
The elements of combustion are as abundant here as in
those countries where the torch of discord has been
kindled. The great intercourse of Russia with foreigners,
especially by travelling abroad, has implanted in them
also the germ of the modern views and tendencies.
In the eyes of Russia Louis-Philippe was not a legiti-
mate King; hence the opinion generally prevails that the
great armaments which Russia is at this moment pre-
paring are not intended for the creation of a❑ invasive
or retributive war, but for the sole purpose alone of sup-
porting Austria in case of urgent necessity, and further,
for the establishment of better defensive measures in the
event of a movement in Poland. Nothing can be said
in extenuation of the conduct of Louis-Philippe in de-
serting his people and his troops. No marvel that such
a course should find no sympathy from the Emperor
Nicholas, whose conduct was so diametrically opposite
lin the year 1826.
Much apprehension, however, is entertainted that the
great excitement and indignation of the Emperor may
have a bad effect upon his health, for although the vari-
ous reports respecting his illness were greatly exag-
gerated (speculators in the funds had even circulated
the report of his death), it cannot be denied that his
personal appearance testifies of the severity of his suffer-
ings. His Majesty has been urgently advised to visit
the bath of Germany, but he replied energetically, that
if he passed the boundaries of his empire this summer
it would be only at the head of an army. He trusted
however, that both his physicians and the revolutionaries
would suffer him to remain quietly at home during the
year 1848.
The health of the Empress is very indifferent. Her
Majesty had intended to have gone to Sicily, but the
state of things here entirely prevented this. Madeira
has also been spoken of, but the illustrious patient dreads
the long sea voyage.—Hamburgh Correspondent, Aar. 24.
ROTTERDAM, MARCH 25.—The Duke and Duchess
de Moatpensier are at present staying in this town.
ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE OF

MONEY and .COMMERCIAL NEWS•
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The CottonlMarket at Liverpool, on Saturday, was
still in favour of buyers. Sales 5,000 bales, all to the
trade at barely previous rates. In Railway Shares a
good business was done, and there was a visible improve-
sevnt in the quotations.
The Corn Market has been flatter to-day, owing to
the increased supplies. Wheat has declined Is. per

quarter.
The accounts from the United States appear to be
still favourable for the prospect of the conclusion of
peace with Mexico, and the new loan had been well
taken. It is stated that—
After all one or two, or even three, per cent. pre-
mium for United States Stocks or Treasury notes, bear-
ing six per cent. interest per annum, is nothing, com-
pared to the premium they will command immediately
after peace is promulgated, or even after the loans have
all been taken, whether we have peace or not. There
never was such a circumstance before known in the
history of any country in the world, as the negotiation
of large loans during a time of war at a premium ; and
no other country in creation, but this, could ever have
realised such a thing. Every loan we have thus far
made has been at a premium, and it appears the longer
the war continues, the higher the premium obtained on
loans."
This latter circumstance, however, must be simply the
result of the altered condition of the Money Market, the
United States having done such an excellent business in
corn during the last year. The probability of a further
loan being needed, ere long, is mentioned in the ac
counts, and this, it is said, will be the case, whether
peace be concluded or not.
The West India accounts are not favourable, being
of much the same tenor as on previous occasions.
We have seen letters from Amsterdam, which notice
the disturbances there, but describe them as being
wholly destitute of a political character. Handbills
offering work had been distributed by soma malicious
parties, and when the workmen appeared, there was no
one to receive them. Hence the commotion which is
regarded by the writers with no feelings of anxiety.
We have seen advices also from Sleswig Holstein.
There the resistance to Denmark is undisguised, and
may prove important in its consequences.
The accounts from Lisbon have occasioned much
conversation in the city among the creditors of Portugal,
the reduction in the interest upon the foreign debt
being no light matter. It is conceived, however, that
as the Government cannot raise the necessary means,
and as the'reduction is not set forth as a permanent mea-
sure, the bondholders must acquiesce and take what is
offered. The low value of the stock for some time past
has indicated the fear of what now comes to pass.
The Consol Market has not been very buoyant this
morning. Consols for the Account opened at 831 1,
fell to 83, and are again at 83*. The range taken by
money stock has been precisely similar to that for time.
The amount of real; business done to-day has not been
considerable. The premium on Exchequer-bills has
been 295. to 325. Bank Stock is quoted at 193, and
India Stock at 233. India Bonds under 1,0001. were
quoted at 17s. premium.
In the Foreign Bond Market there has been an im-
provement in Mexican from 141 to 151; Spanish Five
per Cents. for the Account have been heavy at 124 and
k; the Three per Cents. from 22k have advanced to 221.
The Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates have receded
from 61 to 601. Brazil Five per Cents. Bonds aro at 70.
The Russian Five per Cents. are at 85.
With very few exceptions, the Railway Shares are
heavy this morning, and there is but a moderate amount
of business going on.
