The person sent to Morlaix by the French Go-

So anxious for peace are vve represented to be, that
the very idea of a negociation for a Cartel is stated to
have produced a rise in our funds greater than ever
they experienced,evel in peace, Everyone in this
country knows the falsehood of this statement. The
rise has not been three per cent. and it his been
,produced by other.causes than 'the negociation for a

Mr. IWAITHMAN (mirabile diau) was also • drank
by the company, after all the opprobrious epithets
