Leo XII., in March, 1825, was considered as reparation
or au act of forgetfulness of the prious Pope.
He was soon placed by Leo. XII. at the hea of that vast
and important establishment the Propaganda,'or which his
Asiatic erudition peculiarly suited him. Thealents which
he showed in the course of his administration lily confirmed
his previously high reputation. In the couave of 1828
Mauro Capellari was one of the cardinals mos favoured by
public opini.,n, and most violently opposed -inthe conclave
by the party called the Au-trian party. In ti conclave of
1831 Cardinal Pacca, who was proposed andsupportecl by
that party of which Cardinal Albuni was the iead, had at
the scrutiny before the last, 19 votes, while CatinalCapellari
had 26. But at the final scrutiny 6 or 7 vote escaped from
the influence of Cardinal Albani, and Carding Capellari ob-
tained the majority. The sacred college is (unposed of 57
members. He was elected Pope on the 2(1 of L;bruary, 1831,
and took his seat on the pontifical chair b the name of
Gregory XVI.
The Countess de Han Han, the celebated German

MONEY and COMMERCIAL. NEWS.
(From The Sun of last Night.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday vas very firmly
supported. Sales, 6,000 bales, including 4d Pernambuco
and Maranham, at 63/4d. to 7d,; 200 Egyitian at 6%d. to
71/2d. ; and 400 Surat at 3%d. ; and the rst American at
3YBd. to 51(1. per lb. Shares were quiet.
Very interesting news has again come to hand from the
Cape of Good Hope, the latest date being April 15. Prepa-
rations against the Kafirs were making in all directions, and
the greatest ardour continued to prevail among the inhabit-
ants and the troops. It was expected that thstilities would
commence at Fort Beaufort. The Slambie aid Congo tribes
were quiet, and their chiefs were in daiiy communication
with the English Government agents. Eno's tribe,
and even some of the Gaikas, are sail also to be
inclined to peace, and even Sandilla was alarmed and dis-
posed to be conciliatory, although generally-, the Kafirs were
preparing for the worst; and the Europeans living in their
territory had experienced much difficulty in making their
escape. Mr. Stretch, the Government agent in Kafirland,
nobly continued, although alone, at his usual post, seeking
by all the arts of diplomacy to bring the Kafirs to a sense of the
risk they incurred by provoking our resentment, for many of the
chiefs had formed but a contemptible opinion of our power and
resources, having so long been permitted to plunder the far-
mers. Upon our conquering the refractory tribes, they are
expected to be placed under British protection.
The Recorder bounty emigrant ship had arrived in Table
Bay, all well on board.
The American advices, of which ample details are given
in another column, have naturally led to a good deal of
conversation here, and it is remarked that if the
skirmishing system only is to be persevered
in, the war with Mexico may be more protracted than was
at first anticipated, especially as the Texians are accused of
rendering less assistance than their interest in the cause of

The Brazil mail, arrived at last, gives nothing important
from Rio de Janiero, and nothing decisive from La Plata.
The Funds have been very flat again to-day, and there is
an indisposition to enter upon fresh transactions. Consols
for the Opening have dropped .4 to 1% per cent., as, al-
though sales are not pressed, few will buy in the present un-
certain state of the Ministry. The premium on Exchequer-
bills has been I6s. to 21s. Bank Stock has been firmer at
2061/2. The New Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents. have
been 97 to 974.
There is a flat market also for the Foreign Investments.
Spanish Five per Cents. have been 241/s, and the Three per
Cents. 371, to 36%. The Secretary for Foreign Affairs has
intimated to the South American and Mexican Association,
in answer to their memorial, that the British Government
has a watchful eye over the rc oceedings in Mexico, and that
the interests of England will be duly cared for, while no
exertion will be spared to bring about an amicable arrange-
ment between the belligerents. Mexican Bonds, however,
owing to the news from America, have been reduced to

ESCAPE FROM FIRE.—On Monday morning, about one
o'clock, a fire occurred at the residence of the Rev. Joshua Parker,
No. 21, Bedford-place, Carnpden .hill, Kensington. Mrs. Parker was
confined between eleven and twelve o'clock on Sunday night ; her
bedroom was the front room on the second floor, and about one
o'clock the Rev. Mr. Parker paid her a visit. In doing so, the candle
the Rev. Gentleman canted in his hand is supposed to have come in
contact with the curtains of the beet, which were immediately in a
blaze. Mr. J. Merriman, Mrs. Parker's medical attendant, not
opposite having yet left the house, on hearing Mr. Parker's cries for assist-
ance, ran into the room and caught up Mrs. Parker out of the bed
and carried her in his arms out of the house to the
the street, where she was most kindly
received, and still remains.
The
fire waB soon subdued. Our rtewas informed that both
