The city arrivals this morning are the express from
Paris and the Rattle Snake, from Rio Janeiro, with
upwards of two millions of dollars. We do not hear that
she has brought a mail. A few letters have been received,
but as yet they are not made public.
Owing to want of arrivals up to the present time, we
ere exceedingly dull in the city.
By the express from Paris, we are still in the dark re-
specting the affairs of Spain, which, we suppose, will be
of a short duration, as the Queen's troops are on the eve
of their operations in Biscay and Navarre.
The French Funds have improved to 75f. 20c.
