MADRID, JULY 21.—A Royal Decree of the 9th
inst.:fixes the mode and the conditions of the reor-
ganization of the Bank of St. Fernando. This
Decree is divided into six chapters ; the first treats
of the institution and destination of the Bank, the
principal business of which will be to discount bills
of exchange, &c., besides the other operations for
which it is authorised. The second fixes its capital,
which is to be sixty millions, divided into 30,000
shares of 2,000 reals, two-thirds of which will be in
shares of the bank of San Carlos, which is going
to liquidate its accounts, after having received from
the Government forty millions, at which sum its
claims have been fixed as well upon the public
Treasury as on the Caisse d' Anzortissement. The
three following chapters relate to the management
of the operations of the Bank ; the division of its
ofits and the administration. The last contains
several general regulations.
This important Decree revives an establishment
which the misfortunes of the times had reduced
almost to nothing. The shares are now worth 30
per cent. more than they were last year; and soon
they will rise above the actual price. A Bank well
administered will be a powerful auxiliary to the
Treasury and public credit, and will contribute to the
commercial prosperity cf the kingdom.
PARIS, AUG. I.—We have just received the
letter of the Pope to all the faithful, followed by the
mandement of the Archbishop of Paris, for the Uni-
versal Jubilee granted by Pope Pius VII. on his ac-
cession. We shall to-morrow give fragments of
these two documents, as well as the encyclic letter
addressed to all the Archbishops and Bishops.

TOULON, JULY 26.—The Faune brig arrived here
last night from Algiers, with letters from the Com-
mander of the blockading Squadron to the Maritime
Prefect. Hitherto no orders have been given to
send to their destination the gun-boats which have
been for some time in the roads, and which are
daily exercised in naval evolutions. The arrival of
the Faune, and the despatches brought by her, give
reason to presume that their departure may be
hastened; for in case of a bombardment, it is abso-
lutely necessary that it should be ended by the
month of August, to avoid the dangers to which
our vessels before Algiers would he exposed at a
later period by the violent gales which prevail in
those seas after the end of next month.

(From the Messager des Chambres of Saturday, 2d Edit. )
PARIS, AUG. I.—lt is affirmed, say some Jour-
nals, that French officers of distinction accompany
the Empress of Brazil. Among them are said to
be a General, an old friend of Prince Eugene's ; two
Colonels, a Lieutenant-Colonel, and five Captains,
three cf whom belong to the artillery.
The Ariso of the Mediterranean says that Colonel
Fabvier has given a fresh proof of his attachment to
the Greek cause, by refusing 250,000 francs coming
to him as indemnity and prize money ; and has had
the same distributed among the wives and children
of Greeks who have fallen in defence of their country.

ERRATum.—Our quotation of the French three per
cents., from the express of Saturday, should have been
81f. 75c., not SOL 75c.
