consequences of a final rupture. The correspondence
of the Sud, of Marseilles, announces that an
armistice had been concluded on the 19th ult. on
the frontier. The Hakem, or Civil Chief, of
Ouchda, is said to have proposed to Marshal Bu-
GEAUD to occupy the town with some of his troops
as a protection, but that the Marshal declined this,
unless the Hakem would engage to keep the town
supplied with provisions from the tribes of the Angad,
who were to undertake the transports from Tlemcen
to Ouchda, on being assured of clue payment. The
new Caid, SIDI-HA3nDA-BEN-ALI, had written to
the Marshal offering his aid in establishing peace and
order, to which the Marshal replied by an invitation
to him to come to the camp of Lalla Maghreina to a
conference. As this intelligence is certainly pacific,
the withdrawal of the Consul .General may appear
strange ; but we have already explained in our yes-
terday's account the causes of these two different po-
sitions, which otherwise would appear contradictory.
The SULTAN arrived on the 12th at Rabat, on his way
from Morocco to Fez or Mequinez. He must have
received the ultimatum relating to ABD-EL-KADER,
sent by M. DE Niox, who is naturally charged with
the whole of the diplomacy."
The Opposition journals continue their attacks on
England, but it is not necessary to give publicity to
their unmeaning abuse. It would appear from the
following article in the Courrier Francais, that
the French Government will make the following con-
cessions to England, relative to the Otaheite affair,
though from the words with which the article con-
cludes we can hardly consider the writer serious in
his remarks ;—" It is affirmed that Ministers have
come to the resolution of disavowing M. D'AUBIGNY.
The terms of the disavowal are not yet decided upon,
and are to be the object of a deliberation between such
of the Ministers as are at Paris. M. GUIZOT is to
draw up the disavowal, and the Moniteur is to insert
it as soon as it shall have been approved of by the
English Government. As for Captain BRUAT he is to
be recalled, but that recal is to be dissembled by means
of a command which is destined to reward his docility
and discretion. In the Ota.heite affair M. BRUAT ap-
pears to have been selected as the instrument
of the Cabinet against Rear-Admiral DUPETIT-
THOUARS. We know not to what extent the
rivalry of an officer of merit against his superior has
been turned to account; neither do we know whether
he have or have not acceded to the Ministerial in-
trigues ; certain it is that it is not deemed prudent to
be severe towards a confidant ; were it not for this
circumstance, he would have been as culpable as M.
D'Aunicair, and, like him, disavowed. It is hereby
seen why the Otaheite affair costs us but two dis-
avowals and one recal, instead of three disavowals.
GOD save the QUEEN."
The Moniteur of Tuesday contains an ordinance
countersigned by the Minister of Agriculture and
Commerce, the object of which is to continue the
different ordinances successively published in the
course of 1842 and 1843 on the subject of tariffs and
custom-house duties. The Ministry announces, be-
sides, the intention of submitting hereafter to the
KING another ordinance, comprising, with other new
dispositions, the articles of tariff inserted in the pro-
ject of law, and the establishment of which will answer
to the wishes of several important branches of in-
dustry and commerce.!

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were
large, but prices underwent no chance. Exporters took
1,500 bales, and the total sales were 8,000 bales—viz.,
800 Surats, at d. to 3/d. ; 200 Egyptian, at 61d. to
Bd. ; 120 Pernam, at 6d. to 6-id. ; and the rest American,
at 3/d. to 50.—Shares were much the same : Bir-

keeps aloof, is considered to be highly detrimental to
the interests of its subjects.

Stocks are quiet this morning, but continue to wear a
firmer appearance than in the earlier part of the week.
There will probably be a good deal of general business
done in the heavy stocks, as they close for the calcula-
tion of the quarter's dividend as early as the 29th inst.,
and do not re-open till October 11. Consols have been
99 to 99i-- for Money, and 99k i for Account. Bank
Stock is firm at 200 k, and South Sea Stock at 116. EX-
chequer Bills are 755. t 0.775, pm., and India Bonds 95s.pm.
The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. realise 1014 to i ,
the Reduced 1021 to I, and the Three per Cents.
99i to 100.
The Foreign Bonds have been very inactive, neither
the correspondence between M. Mosquera, the represen-
tative of New Granada, and the Committee of Spanish
American Bondholders, in which any answer as to the
amount of funds in hand, is declined, nor the unfavour-
able advices from Madrid having stimulated business in
Columbian or Spanish. The latter are heavy at 22* for
the Five per Cents., and at 32-k for the Three per Cents.
Portuguese Converted are flat at 43i ; Mexican realise
35.1 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. obtain 62A- to I.
The Railway Shares generally are firmer at the rates
subjoined.
