The Gazette de Fribourg publishes a letter, dated
Nlultheim, Sept. 28, which says—" The Council of
IVar, composed of three military men and three mem-
bers of the superior tribunal of the circle of the
Upper Rhine, met to-day and discussed the question
Nhether STRUVE and his companions should be
udged by martial law. The question will not be
ettled till to-morrow. To the affirmative settlement
,f this question the circumstance is opposed, that
martial law was not proclaimed till the 26th
September, whereas STRUVE and his accomplices
were arrested on the 25th."

The Journal de Frankfort says " STRUVE and
pis wire, as well as his wife's brother, are kept in
,;lose confinement in one apartment. The msn are
very much cast down, but the women are cheerful.
they are all guarded by sentinels having cocked
pistols both in the apartment and on the outside.
They are not permitted to have intercourse with

The English Stock Market has been rather firmer,
with a mogerate business doing. Consols have been
quoted 86 to 86k I for Transfer, and 86k to 86k for the
17th October. The premium on Exchequer bills has
been 30s. to 335. The payment of the Dividends on
Friday at the Bank of England is expected to give
support to the market, but the revenue return will be
looked to with some interest, and it sometimes happens
that upon the re-opening of th• transfer books, parties
who invested chiefly for the Dividend, make sales.
The value of Mexican Stock is not quite so good to-
day, but this is a natural reaction upon a previous de-
cided advance, and the inducement thereby existing to
realise profits. The prices are called 18k I, and have
been 194. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 24} to 25.
Spanish Three per Cents. have been 23 to it. Brazil
Stock, ex. div., is 72 to 74.
Shares are much the same.

Very satisfactory accounts reach us from Chili, tlit
the 'United Sates. A short time since we were apprised
of the efforts making by the Government of that
flourishing Republic for the facilitation of foreign trade,
and some further particulars now reach us. The ware-
housing of merchandize will be permitted for six
months, under liberal arrangements, for the assortment
of the goods during that period. Certain excessive
duties aro to be lowered, while home manufactures will
be relieved of imposts. The most friendly relations
existed with Pei u.

At Bogota, on the 13th July, there had been
sonic indications of a revolutionary spirit, but it was
shortly suppressed. An important law bad been pas&d
by the Congress of New Grenada which enacts that no
foreigner can claim indemnity for property destroyed
during political convulsions, provided the damage arises
from no act of the Government; but at the same time
the right of recovering from third parties is not
abolished.

A treaty of commerce and navigation had been made
with Peru, on mutually advantageous terms, and was
to be submitted to the legislative bodies of both countries.
'The Senate of Chili had agreed to a bill, which origi-
nated with the Executive, by which, in future, that
clause in their navigation laws, requiring every one com-
manding a Chilian vessel to be also a Chilian citiaen, is
repealed. _ _

The law authorizing the construction of a rail-road
between Santiago and Valparaiso, was under discussion
in the House of Representatives.
In the Ecuador, it is said that the people are getting
tired of the continued fulminations of the Government
against General Flores. It is now thought he has no
project against the Republic, but merely wishes to re-
turn and re-assume his position as President. The Faro
industrial thinks, that altogether too much fuss has
been made about Flores and his plans, and that if the
Ecuadorians would just let him come back, as any other
citizen would, that no more trouble would be had with
him, but this continual outcry against him makes him
altogether too important.
In Peru difficulties are arising in the southern pro-
vinces; the vacillating nature of the Government policy
toward these distant provinces seems to be fast alienating
them from the home Government, and it is to be
feared that ere long they will separate themselves
entirely. _ _
