" THE PRISONERS OF THE CONSPIRACY.
" (Signed) Thouret, A. Gent, Chevarsus, Caril,
Borel, Maistre, Grill, Caussanel, Meric, jun.,
Auriol, Berthoumieux, Petibon, J. Gent, Be-
lisier, H. Delescluse, Dupont, Bouvier, Robert

but, Daillains, Langomazine, Doin, Vacheresse,
Pinet, Jean Louis, Daumas, Chamard, A.
Maleval, P. Maleval, Jouvore, Sauve, and
Alarcon."
It is generally considered that the whole of the
proceedings before the court-martial are illegal, and
that the Court of Cassation, acting on the precedent
established in a precisely similar case in 1832, will
declare them null and void.
The account of the potato crop is most gloomy.
The following is from the Siecle :
" The potato disease is becoming general. To the de-
partments already noticed as affected, we have to add
the Marne, the Cote d'Or, end Vancluse. In Alsace, in
the neighbourhood of Colmar, it has made great ravages.
In the neighbourhood of Gray, Upper Saone, the tuber-
cle is seriously affected. In the Manche the decease is
increasing in violence: fields that eight days ago were
unaffected are now completely destroyed, so that not a
leaf is to be seen."
The Bourse was dull, and Government Securities con-
tinued to decline until towards the close of business,
when they rallied slightly. The Five per Cents. opened
at 93f. 60e., and closed at 93f. 75c. for the end of the
month; the Three per Cents. closed at 56f. 30c.; Or-

_ • -
Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have arrived.
The seizure of opposition journals by the Govern-
ment continues ; the Catolico and Observador were
seized on the 26th; so that the only Opposition jour-
nal which appeared on that day was the Nation. The
Heraldo, the Clamor Publico, and the Epoca of the
27th declare they will henceforward publish no more
leading articles on political matters, to avoid further
seizures.

PORTUGAL.
Lisbon journals and letters to the 23d ult. have
arrived. Their contents are unimportant.

GERMAN Y.
The difference between the courts of Berlin and
Wurtemburg, which has continued for some months,
has just terminated; and Baron DE BERLICRINGEN
has been nominated Envoy of Wurtemburg to the
Prussian Government.
The Emperor of AUSTRIA left Vienna on the 28th
ult. for Ischl and Verona.

A letter from Vienna of the 27th ult., in the Prus-
sian Gazette, states that Prince SCIIWARTZE?iBERG,
President of the Council of Ministers, has addressed a
circular to all the Austrian Embassies at foreign
Courts, in which he informs them of the Imperial
decrees recently issued on the revision of the Con-
stitution. The correspondent adds that the Episcopal
Synod of Serbia, that was to meet at Carlowitz
in October next, has been adjourned until further
orders.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The negotiations between Denmark and Austria
have taken an unfavourable turn, and the Austrian
army will not evacuate the Duchies for some time.
A change in the Danish Ministry is spoken of.

A letter from Mr. Weisweiller states—
" I ha►e seen the Minister of Finance and some of
the members of the Commission for the Public Debt,
and lam glad to be able to inform you that the Go-
vernment agree to have the Coupons of the New Bonds
payable in London and in Paris, in sterling money and
in francs, as heretofore.
" The measures tor the conversion will be taken as
soon as possible, and it is to take place in London, Paris,
and Amsterdam.

" For this purpose Senor Ronorgo, who is actually
here, is to return to Paris and London in the course of
the present month, in order to come to an understanding
with the coremittees and the financial agents abroad, for
a reciprocal satisfactory arrangement of the whole
concern."

The exchange at Hamburgh on London last week
was 13.41, and gold was at 4261. Grain was flat, but
coffee •ery firm.

At Amsterdam, on the 31st ultimo, Dutch Two-and-
a-Half per Cents, were 584; and Austrian and Spanish
Bonds advanced.

The Funds have further advanced, and are much
better in tone, although the traosaction3 are but mode-
rato. Consols have been 96 to 96i for Money and Time,
and are now 96i i. The New Tbree-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 98i to 9Si, and the Three per
Cents. 964 i. Bank Stock has been quoted 215 i to i.
Exchequer-bills are lower, and it would appear that an
exchange has been made from unfunded to funded secu-
rities.
Foreign Stocks have been dull. Spanish Five per

It is a subject of frequent remark that the copper
mines of the United States yield such enormous blocks
of ore as are never seen in this country. A great many
mines still remain to be explored or properly worked.
There are celebrated mines, it appears, in the Apache
country, near the head waters of the Gila. At one time
as many as 500 men were engaged in them, and they
are said to have yielded abundantly, and to have made
the fortune of the Spanish proprietors, who then aban-
doned: them owing to the hostilities of the Indians.
The ore is a red oxide of copper, with native copper
disseminated through it, occurring in nests and seams
through a decomposed feldspathic porphyry, which
rock or gangue is, from its softness, easily worked with
the picks, and needs no blasting, thus essentially re-
ducing the cost of mining. From the purity and easy
redution of the ore, the expense of producing the metal
by the smelting operation was small, and easily effected,
in a very rude furnace, the cinders of which contain a
great deal of reduced copper. At the time the mine was
worked the state of Chihuahua was coining a great
deal of copper currency, for which they paid a high
price, and fur which purpose the copper from this ore,
from its purity, was admirably suited, and supplied the
mint. At the high price of provisions and labour, the
mines, rich as they seem to be, would not yield much
profit. When some of the fertile villages in the
neighbourhood are cultivated, labour and provisions will
be cheaper. Within half a mile of the presidio are
several large hills of magnetic iron ore, similar to the
Pilot Knob and Snow Mountain of Missouri. This
ore could be, at a small cost, converted into bar iron,
heated in a Catlin forge, the hills abounding in timber
fit for fuel. About four miles south-west of the mine of
copper formerly were worked some gold mines, which
are said to have yielded well, but which were never
extensively worked, on account of the Indians. Some
of the old shafts have been recently opened by some
Americans, who are said to be making an ounce per
diem. The gold occurs in scales and plates, in a quartz
vein which very much resembles the auriferous quartz of
Georgia. Parallel with the gold vein is a vein of sul-
phuret of lead (Galena), which, on reducing to lead, was
found to contain sixteen ounces to the cwt., which is con-
sidered a rich ore.
The following, relative to the state of the Cotton mar-
ket at New Orleans, on the 9th ult., is from the Circular
of Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy, published by Mr.
James Irvine, of Liverpool:—
" Since the date of our last Circular of 12th July we
have bad a succession of unfavourable steamers from
Europe, and our market in consequence has been in a
very unsettled state; prices have been extremely irre-
gular, and though continually tending downwards, the
decline is not so heavy as under other circumstances
would have been the case. The stock for sale is now
reduced to an unusually small compass, being estimated
at the highest about 8,000 bales, the greatest part of
which is held under limits; and again, a large proportion
of that offered for sale consisting of the better grades,
for which there is little or no demand. The tenour of
the advices from the country have rendered factors also
much less pressing in sales.
" The transactions sum up 28,500 bales, of which
10,500 bales during the first, 8,500 bales during the se-
cond, 5,500 bales during the third, and 4,000 bales this
week, taken mostly for Great Britain, with a fair pro-
portion for the continent of Europe and the North.
" The first bale of new crop made its appearance on
the 25th ult., and since then several bales have been
received; some of the same classing good middling have
been sold at 10 cents.
" The prospects for the growing crop on the bottom
lands aro still all that can be desired, and the yield pro-
mises to be very large. On the Uplands, however, the
excessive drought of the last two months has exercised
a very prejudicial influence; the plant is reported to be
small and in bloom to the top, and is now in many parts
shedding its fruit.
" It is yet too early to form any opinion of the extent
of the crop, but it appears that the prospects on the hill
lands at present are by no means better than they were
last year, whilst the bottom lands, from not having suf-
fered from overflows this season, may yield considerably
over last year's production; this, however, will depend
very much on the weather hereafter.
" The following quotatiens must be considered merely
nominal, and applying to Mississippi Cottons, the greater
portion of transactions having consisted of Tennessee
and North Alabama lists:—Ordinary to good ordinary,
sd. to sfd.; middling, bid. to 7d.; good middling,
to Bd.; middling fair, Bid. to qd.; fair, 9d.
" Sales during the last four weeks 28,500 bales. Re-
ceipts at this port since Ist Sept. 943,950 bales, against
789,302 bales last year. Increase of receipts at all the
ports up to latest dates, 274,257 bales."
Considerable interest is NI, in the City at the intelli-
gence from Sydney of alleged gold discoveries at Ba-
thurst, and a confirmation is deemed very necessary
before much importance can be attached to the news.
It will be remembered we had similar stories from Port
Philip, though not so well authenticated, a long time
since.
