The Clamar Publico states that the arrests recently
effected are connected with a vast conspiracy which
was to have broken out at the new town of Grao.
Four columns of Englishmen and Poles vrere to have
moved to that point (!) Among the persons arrested
were the Alcade of Grao, MUNOZ, residing at Va-
lencia, and other individuals, at whose dwellings pro-
hibited arms have been seized."

The Three per Cents. were done at 28,1- for cash,
and at 29 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 21i
at 60 days; and the Floating Debt at 66 for the 30th
of September, with one per cent. premium.

The accounts published yesterday, stating that the
Prince de Jonsvinnt had refused, for some reason or
other, to visit Toulon, according to promise, turn out
correct, as will be seen from the following announce-
ment in the Moniteur of Tuesday :—" A telegraphic
dispatch from Cherbourg was received last night by
the Minister of Marine and Colonies, which announced
that the steam corvette the Pluto, carrying the flag of
his Royal Highness the Prince de JOIIcVILLE, had ap-
peared that day in view off the harbour at half-past
twelve o'clock, and continued its route to Havre. His
Royal Highness had left Cadiz on the 22d, after hav-
ing received the last official accounts of the operations
which had been regularly effected for the evacuation
of the island of Mogadore, operations which were ter-
minated on the 16th, and after having attended per-
sonally
to the successive departure for Toulon of the
ships and other vessels comprising the squadron which
had been placed under his orders." The Prince, it
appears, left Cherbourg without delay, and reached
Paris on Tuesday afternoon. Several of the Opposi-

tion papers state that a bad feeling was displayed by
certain of the officers present at the review on Sun-
day. Six officers, they say, of different corps, pre-
sented to the KING complaints against the omission of
their names from the list of promotions in the Legion
of Honour, then about to be made. The complaints
were received, but immediately after the review the

complainants were put under arrest. It is added that
these officers had previously made their colonels ac-
quainted with the step they were about to take."
The same journals arc sadly annoyed at the visits

of Lord PALMEESTON to several continental Courts,
and, above all, at his expected visit to Louis Pus-
Lirrii. The Siecle makes the following remarks on
the subject :
" The members of the late Whig Ministry. have given
each other a rendezvous in Paris. The visit of Lord
Lansdowne is to be succeeded by that of Lord Palmer-
ston. Lord Lansdowne was received by the King, who
gave him a most gracious reception. We have no objec-
tion to this exchange of politeness. Lord Lansdowne is
a benevolent and enlightened man, who is highly and
generally estimated. In the crisis of 1840, he belonged
to that fraction of the Ministry which retarded, as far ash
could, the rupture between the two Governments, and
which we can only reproach with weakness. If the
energy of those statesmen had equalled their good dis-
positions, Lord Palmerston would never have had the
opportunity he had of setting Europe in a blaze. But
it was the bad fortune of France at that period to hare
friends without courage, while her enemies were suffi-
ciently active and resolute. Lord Palmerston will fol-
low close upon the heels of Lord Lansdowne, and though,
he cannot expect a favourable reception, he will imme-
diately present himself at Neuilly. This persevering
enemy of France wishes to prove to Louis Philippe, that
though people have said so, he is not the personal enemy
of his Majesty. The demonstration is of little conse-

quence to us ; but, for the sake of truth, we must say that
it has little chance of success. Protestations signify no-
thing, when they disagree with the conduct of the indi-
vidual. But it is notorious that Lord Palmerston, during
his stay at Brussels, laboured, from sheer hatred to
France, to bring about a good understanding between
Belgium and Prussia. Louis Philippe cannot, in his
conscience, be pleased with this. Let us add that M.
Guizot, having bound up his ministerial existence with
that of the Tory Ministry, will certainly not enter into
an arrangement with Lord Palmerston. It is therefore
only a spectacle which he wishes to place before us, but
it is one not without interest. It is curious, under a Go-
vernment which goes down on its knees before the whole
world, to see the Englishman who did us the greatest
possible injury, endeavouring to come again to good
terms with the Revolution of July."

The following are miscellaneous extracts from the
Continental papers :
" M. Guizot has been indisposed for the last six days
with an attack of the larynx, which has caused some un-
easiness. He was better yesterday, and it is hoped that
he will be able to undertake the journey to England."
The Courier Francais says :—" Marshal Bugeaud will
not become a Peer of France. He has written—' You
offer me a dukedom and the peerage. There is in this
offer a contradiction or inconsistency (non sens). If, as
I believe, there is a wish to reward me, let me be created
a duke ; but until I am put on the retired list I will re-
main a deputy.' "
"If we are well-informed," says the Presse, " the
principal modifications intended to be made in the con-
stitution of Spain are the following :—From being elec-
tive, the Chamber of Proceres will become lifehold, like
our Chamber of Peers. The renewal of the Chamber of
Procuradoraw. will take place every five years, like our
Chamber of Deputies. The National Guard will be en-
tirely reorganises. In fine, these modifications will be
voted as, in 1830, were our modifications in the Charter
of 1845."

A Constantinople letter of the 11th ult., in a Ger.

man paper, says—
" Yesterday the Sultan and all the Ministers went to
the School of Medicine of Galata Serail, to be present,
as in former years, at the examinations previous to the
vacation. Although the distance between his palace and
this establishment is by no means considerable, and the
roads are not very well calculated for carriages, since
there is an enormous hill to mount, he nevertheless, to his custom, preferred going in his carriage. He
con-
passed through tke suburb of Yera in a rich equipage,
trill.),
drawn by four horses, which he drove himself, though
they were attended by several grooms on foot, who
guided them when they deviated. This preference of
the Sultan of a mode of conveyance, so much more easy
than that on horsebach, and his pale complexion, with
the perfectly apparent haggardness of his eyes (for his
carriage was half open, and he could be seen with ease),
confirmed more than ever the reports which had been
spread as to the alarming state of the young Monarch's
health."

The Journal des Debats contains the following ex-
;ract of a letter, from Athens,dated September I 0 :
"Notwithstanding all the intrigues of parties to disu-
nite the new Ministry, Messrs. Coletti and Metaxa will
be able to resist the evil intentions of their enemies, and,
above all, the demands of their friends. In some days,
the Chambers will be opened,
and everything announces
that the Ministry will have a large majority. Several
Greek journals have published very excellent articles on
the necessity of uniting, and forgetting the absurd de-
nunciations of Russian, English, and French
parties.
Messrs. Coletti and Metaxa have honourably given each
other the hand, and neither wishes for any party but a
Csm
national one ; General Izavellas and Admiral aris
also agreed on this point. King Otho shows himself
thoroughly Greek ; he will support the. new Ministry
firmly, but yet they will have many difficulties to con-
tend with, and in Greece as in France, England, and all
constitutional countries, the Radical journals, enemies of
all authority, will endeavour to disturb public order."
A letter in the Cologne Gazette contains the follow-
ing statement relative to the Sound Duties :
" The negotiations commenced between Denmark and
our Government for the suppression of the Sound duties,
which are so burdensome to maritime commerce, have
all of a sudden ceased. This can be easily conceived, if
it be borne in mind that Denmark will not willingly give
up duties which form the seventh part of her revenue,
A new plan is now on the Lapis, which will bring about
the same result. It is proposed to establish a direct
steam communication between Hull and Stettin, passing
by Gottenburg. To this plan is to be joined another, of
which the object is to escape paying the Sound duties.
A little to the north of Helsingborg there is a small
bay, into which a little stream falls ; to the south of
Ilelsingborg there is another little stream which falls
into the Sound. The idea is to render the two streams
navigable, and to unite them by a canal. Next,
that when the passage by Helsingoer, where the
duties are levied, was avoided, the Swedish Govern-
ment has declared that it was disposed to second
this plan,
and would not demand any duties. M. Lo-
rent, who is here to treat on this affair, has communi-
cated his design
to the. Minister of Foreign Affairs, who
.-trougly interw,ted in its favour. '1 he Minister has
made a report to the King, and the Government has de-
clared that he approved of the plan. M. Lorent has
received 500 thalers for travelling expenses, and 2,000
Osiers for expenses of surveying on the side of Scania.

propose the best means of satisfying those claims—and,
conformably to the advice of my Council of Ministers, I
have decreed that which follows :

"Art. 1. The conversion into titles of the Three per
Cent. Consolidated Debt, authorised by my royal decree
of the 26th of June of the present year, to the creditors
who have contracted to advance money, is applicable to
the Treasury Bonds issued in virtue of the law of the 29th
of March, 1842.
"Art. 2. The conversion of the bonds shall be effected
at the rate of 32 per cent., or at the rate of 312 i rials of
nominal value, into titles for every 100 rials in bonds
that the TreasurT shall receive.
" Art. 3. The interests granted to the bonds shall be
reckoned unto the 30th of June last, whatever series
they may belong to, and those interests shall be cumu-
lated with their respective capital.
"Art. 4. The creditors, holders of bonds, remain sub-
jected to all the other terms established in my aforesaid
royal decree of the 26th of June, respecting the cre-
ditors who have, by contract, advanced mosey- ; and, in
the event of some of the former not accepting those
terms, they shall wait, as has been determined with re-
gard to the latter, under such circumstances, until the
Cortes propose the means of satisfying their claims.
" Art. 5. The Government shall report to the Cortes,
in the approaching session, the provisions of the present
decree.
