BRUSSELS, MARCH 28.—The Moniteur published a
Royal ordinance, dated Lacken, March 26, and signed by
the Minister of War, to the following effect :—" Con-
sidering that the military sub-intendent, Parrys, has been
guilty of great negligence in his duty, by maintaining
an intimate acquaintance with the avowed enemies of the
State, and by not informing the superior authorities
of the proceedings, (which, to say the least, were sus-
picious), of Vandermeere and Vandersmissen, the said
P. J. Parrys is placed on half-pay. The four persons
condemned to death by the Court of Assiz• of Bra-
bant, have appealed to the Court of Cassation. They
have been permitted to remain in their respective apart-
ments, and to receive the visits of their families.

BRUSSELS, MARCH 29.—The King and Queen set. out
this morning at eight o'clock for Paris, accompanied by
Baroness Stassart, the Count d'Aerschot, Count d'Hane
tle Steenhuyse, M. Van Praet, and Dr. Raikern, their
Majesties' physician.
In consequence of the verdict declaring M. Crehen
guilty in the affair of the conspiracy, but entitled to his
acquittal because he had given information of it., the
wounded of September have had a meeting, and agreed
on a protest addressed to the Minister of the Interior,
requiring that the said Crehen shall be deprived of the
right of wearing the uniforms oU commandant and of
conservator of the monument in the Place des Martyrs.

It was expected that the Bank of England would have
reduced their rate of discount, but the meeting broke up,
without declaring any alteration,
The settlement in the Foreign Stock is going off well;
many, however, is very tight, and the continuation in
Mexican is S, and in Spanish 3-1¢ per cent. The prin-
cipal feature is the quotation of the New Three per Cent.
Spanish Stock, which is very cautiously received, much
doubt being expressed whether any dividend will ever be
paid, although professions have gone so far. It haabeen sold
at 201, and is now quoted 211 ; the Old Bonds, with
the Coupons, 241 241 ; Mexican, 421 421. ; Portuguese

Accounts from Swan River to the Ist September have
been received, and are more satisfactory than they have
been of late. The crops were coming on exceedingly.
well, and hopes were confidently entertained of a good
harvest. A quantity of stock had arrived from King
George's Sound, and in consequence of many of them
having been lost by eating some poisonous plants, a
Committee had been formed for the purpose of investi-
gating its nature, and adtipting precautions against a
'similar occurrence. The fishery was being extended,
and as far as it had progressed, had met with success.
The quantity of oil sent home from the Southern Co-
lonies generally was 6,886 tuns in 1840, and 6,489 tuns in
1839, while the consumption was upwards of 900 tuns
more in the former than in the latter year. The export
of whalebone also showed an increase.
Launceston Papers to the 28th October have arrived
by the same vessel. These do not present so cheering a
statement as the above, although no particular distress
existed, except among merchants, arising principally
from overtrading.
From the Ist of January, 1840, to the 13th of Sep-
tember, 1841, fifty-one insolvencies, with debts amount-
ing to 121,3501., had been declared; while the average
dividend would be considerably under ss. in the pound ;
two of these parties had been twice declared insolvent
since 1840.
The intelligence lately received of the defeat of the
Peruvians by the Bolivians, has proved to be correct,
the official account having arrived. It appearsthtahte Ga-
marra and 500 of his troops were killed, and
re-
mainder of his army, consisting of 3,000 men, taken
prisoners. The Bolivians had marched towards Lower
Peru, with the intention of subjugating that province also.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 30.—Re-
mains in the same dull state. Middling and inferior de-
scriptions of American were * per lb. lower, and other
sorts unaltered. The sales were 400 Surats, 31 to 41;
100 Egyptian, 7d. to 71. d; 40 Bahia, 61 to 61; and 2,460
American, 44 to 62, being a total of 3,000 bales.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, MARCH 30. Was
flat, and few sales took place in any stock. A small
number of the followipg Shares were sold at the quota-
tions. Eastern Counties, New, 41. 6s. 8. ; Great 'Western,
Fifths, 101 ; London and Birmingham, 1741 ; :South
Western, 591, and Manchestsr and Leeds, 781-.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, MARCH 30.—There
has been more inquiry to-day both for Railway
and Bank Stocks, but in consequence of little of either
offering, business has been limited. London and Bir-
mingham, 175 to 176 ; South Western, 591 to 601 ;
Manchester and Birmingham, 27 to 27* ; Bristol and
Exeter, 391 to 40 ; Manchester and Liverpool District
