THE SUN, LONDON, TITURSDAy MORNING, AUGUST 15, 1641.

We have received Madrid journals of the 6th
Instant. If we are to believe a Government paper,
the Heraldo, a most extensive and dangerous plot was
on the eve of breaking out when the arrests took
place in the capital, and at Barcelona. It infers that
the prime instigators are ESPARTERO and OLOZAGA.
" There is no deceiving ourse'ves about it," says that
paper, "if we believe the information received from
all parts of Spain, and, especially from foreign coun-
tries, the plot which has just failed at Madrid had
most extensive ramifications, and was but a part of a
general plan, at the head of which was a pernicious
personage, whom the blindness of his friends
pretended to raise to the highest station. That
personage, august among his adherents, and, asso-
ciated, after protracted negotiation with his most
inveterate enemy, directed these revolutionary at-
tempts, and was preparing to bring on the horrors of
another war—a project in which he was supported by
his alliance with other unlawful interests, as well as
by the active operation and abundant money both
within and without Spain." Senor MADoz, dis-
gusted with the state of affairs in his native country,
had left Madrid on his way to Paris.
Accounts from Barcelona announce the arrival at
that place of the Duke DE RIANZARES (Muiroz), and
Father GONZALES, late Confessor to the Queen
Mother.

The Three per Cents. were done at 28 to 28; for
cash, and 281 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cants. at
19 5-16ths at 60 days.

The Paris Messager contains the following com-
munication from Gibraltar, dated August 5 :—" The
Government has just received news from Mr. HAY.
The EMPEROR, he states, has granted to France and
Spain the just satisfaction which they have demanded.
Mr. Mr is expected at Tangiers to-morrow evening.
The French fleet is at this moment preparing to sail
from Tangiers for Gibraltar." This intelligence had
afforded great satisfaction to the friends of peace, as
the return of the French fleet from Tangiers led to
the belief that the Emperor of Moßocco had accepted
the ultimatum of the Government. Other parties,
however, take a different view, and believe that the
dilatory conduct of the Moorish Government and its
inability to restrain or expel Ann-EL-BADER will
lead still to serious consequences. Another
cause of uneasiness has arisen from the departure of
three ships of the line from Toulon, mentioned yes-
terday. It was generally believed their destination
was Tangiers, but it appears from a Government
paper, the Globe, that Admiral PARSETAL, who com-
mands the squadron, has been ordered to direct his
course to Tunis to watch the movements of a Turkish
fleet, consisting of seven ships of the line and four
frigates. According to this authority the French are
resolved to protect Tunis. The Toulonnais of the
Bth also states that the Marengo, a ship of the line,
had received orders to join the squadron, and that its
destination was the coast of Tunis. What with the
affair of Morocco, the restless ADB-EL•KADER, and
this new cause of quarrel, the French have quite
enough on their hands in the Mediterranean. The
following is the article in the Globe referred to :
"It is possible that by this time a second division of
the French fleet is giving as honourable an example of
firmness as that under the Prince de Joinville. The
journals some time since mentioned that a Turkish fleet
had left the Dardanelles on a cruise, but since that time
they have been lost sight of. This fleet, composed of
seven sail of the line and four frigates, it appears, had
made their appearance on the coast of Syria. When
there, the Capitan Pacha summoned all the pilots on
board his vessel, and inquired in what time they could
take his fleet before Tunis, and on what points of that
coast it would be possible to effect a landing of troops.
A short time after this consultation the fleet left the
coast of Syria, bearing away to the westward. The
Porte has for a long time entertained a wish to dispos-
sess the Bey of Tunis, and to substitute for that inde-
pendent sovereignty a Pacha appointed from Constanti-
nople. France, on her side, has loudly expressed her
intention to support the Bey of Turns, and to prevent
Turkey from establishing herself on the frontiers of
Algeria. Hitherto the Porte has never dared to carry
her plans into execution, but may at length have decided
on it, thinking to take advantage of our dispute with
Morocco. If such has been the idea of Turkey, she will
again have reckoned without her host. The French
Government, informed by telegraph of the departure of
the Turkish fleet from the coast of Syria, sent orders for
four ships of the line to sail from Toulon, under the
command of Admiral Parseval-DeschOnes, to cruise be-
fore Tunis, and await the arrival of the Turkish squa-
dron. The instructions given to the Admiral are in con-
formity with the constant policy of France; she will op-
pose the landing of any Turkish troops, and any attempt
of the Capitan Pacha against the Bey of Tunis. In the
event of the Turkish fleet making its appearance there,
the French Admiral is ordered to make known his in-
structions to the Capitan Pacha; to order him to keep
off from the coast; and, if be refuses, to bring him to ac-
tion immediately. This may probably turn out to be a
false alarm; but should it be so, France will not the less
have been at the post marked out for her by her policy;
and should the Capitan Pacha attempt to carry into ef•
fcct the long-entertained idea of the Porte with regard to
Tunis, we doubt not that Admiral Parseval will do ho-
nour to the French name, although lie has only four sail
of the line against seven and four frigates."
The same journal contains a few remarks relative
to the empire of Morocco, and the importance of
its integrity to England. "The position of Eng-
land," it says, " was a very difficult one, and that it
required, in the first place, all the justice which was
on the side of France, and afterwards all the cmefi-
dence of the British Government in the good faith of
ours, to satisfy it either with the part we played in
the game, or the part England herself played. Mo-
rocco is evidently the dependent of England, who
maintains and protects it. England can only hold
Gibraltar as long as no great power has possession of
the coast of Morocco and Tangiers. Place French
cannon on the African coast of the straits, and the
importance of Gibraltar will diminish one-half.
England is, therefore, obliged to maintain the Islam-
ism of Tangiers, in order not to have France there,
as she is obliged to maintain Constantinople, in order
to prevent Russia from taking it."
The French Funds were rather more firm on
Monday.

FALMOUTH', AUGUST 13.—8 y le Danish schooner
Olin, Captain Engers, we have ..dvices from Buenos
Ayres of June 13. The highest rate of exchange
upon England ruled at 3 13-16 pence; the lowest 3i

the barbarous cruelti which the has manifested
towards VIOLA and MINILLI (other two State offen-
ders) for proof of the hopeless and sanguinary into-
lerance with which his Holiness (!) pursues the victims
of their political opposition to his mode of governing
Bologna and tin... Legations. the Meanwhile, we
cannot help expressing our hope, that with that fore-
cast and sagacity which distinguish the Cabinet of
Vienna, and in consideration of the deeply endangered
interests of his own Italian dominions, the Emperor of
AUSTRIA may be induced to interpose for the future
pacification and tranquillity of the whole Italian penin-
sula. Let his Imperial Majesty, by vigorous and
emphatic negotiations, restrain this prurient appetite
of the King of NAPLES and the POPE for the blood of
political mal-contents. Let the EMPEROR'S powerful
influence be exerted to secure the adoption, by
these weak and arbitrary Princes, of institutions
more conformable to the mild and tolerant spirit of
the age, of his own reign, and of European Govern-
ments in general, in the place of the antiquated, un-
certain, undefined, and despotic pretensions which they
would uphold with the reckless violence of the darkest
ages of tyranny and superstition. Into the strange, but
startling theory, of these insurrectionary movements
in Italy having been fomented by a Russian intrigue
for erecting a new Italian monarchy for the Prince
DE LEUCHTENEURG, the Roman Catholic son-in-law
of NICHOLAS, and son of the late Viceroy of Italy,
EUGENE, we do not enter. The story rests on the
asserted purport of an intercepted letter from Esimo,
one of the noble brothers BANDEIRA, who has just
been shot at Cosenza. Should the letter again come
under public notice, and in some better authenticated
manner, we may probably recur to it.

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—Tiere has
been a considerable decrease in the number of deaths
during the last week. The total number was 934—
previous week 1,014 ; avera-re of five sumners, 900.
The excess over the average is chiefly attr'butable to
small-pox, scarlatina, diarrhoea, and typhus, which,
taken together, exceed the average by 118, the nun-
, bers being 227 and 109. In consumption, inflamma-
tion of the lungs, and old age, there is a considerable
decrease. The following is the analysis of the lists
of violent deaths :--Fracture or contusion, five cases,
of which three were by falls ; dislocation, one case ;
wound, two cases, of which one was suicile ' • drown-
ing, foir cases ; poison, two cases, of wlich one was
suicide ; and murder, one case. Total, eight males
and seven females. The thermometer was highest
on Tuesday 68, and lowest on Saturday 48 deg. The
barometer had ranged low during the whole, the
average being:about 29.5, and the rain is inches 0.44.

In addition to the general details of the news brought
by the Hibernia steamer, and inserted in another calumn,
we) may add the following, which is of a mercantile
nature, from New York.
" We have recently been made wry heavy debtors to
Europeans by the sales of stocks in this country. It is
impossible to tell to what extent these operations hare
been carried, but the amount sold is very large, These
must be paid for as well as merchandise, the value of
which goes to swell our indebtedness. The public mind
may as well be prepared now as at any other time for the
movement of the precious metals across the Atlantic ;
any sudden shipment of a very large amount would create
a panic and a crush that would be attended with heavy
losses. The safest course to adopt is, to become satisfied
that nothing can stop shipments now—the thing has gone
too far ; but let every one arrange his business so as to
stop the tide as soon as possible. By restricting our
importations—our exports will not decline, for foreign
nations now only take of us what they cannot do without
—the balance of tray o will soon come round in our fa-
vour, so that the exchanges can regulate it."
The crops in the United States are very abundant, if
the markets here only afford an opening ; and as re-
gards the State bonds being sent over there for sale, now
that the prospects of the defaulting States are better,
and prices may rise, we should be glad to see the Eng-
lish holders get rid of them on the other side of the At-
lantic whenever they can come out tolerably well. Great
sacrifices we could at this time recommend, as those
who have so long waited may as well have the latlnefit of
the improving prospects.
From Canada we learn that there were abundant crops
of grain. The following is a comparative statement of
