one o'clock they were 77, sellers. French Nods are quoted at
85f. 50c. by one party, and at $46 10e.. by another. The latter.
price is more likely to be correct, as the Jews, who gin Ifna
former, are obviously interested in diking as high a price to
French Rentes as possible.

We helve just, received, as our Piper is going to
Press, the Paris Papers of Saturday. On .a cursory
perusal of their contents, we observe nothing in them
of importance.

A report is to-day current in the City that,- by very
late accounts received from Paris, the Duke of OR-
LEANS has been ordered to consider himself as in a
state of arrest. Our own private advices from Paris
make no mention of any such circumstance.

We .are informed by a Gentleman, whose means. of
ivformation are as ample veracityis indisputable,
.that there is not the slightest truth in the reported
movement of the Russian armies towards the South.
It is true, that the Emperor AIAM:INDER is putting
the army in a slate or ntilitarY equipment, to be
ready for the fiVld; ilsould their services lae wanted;
•bnt as yet no advance whatever has taken place in
their positions. •

A Dutch Mail has brought us this forenoon Papers
to the 12th instant. They contain intelligence, via
fratkfott, which states, that the Pacha of Adriano-
ple has received orders to march to Salonichi with
all the troops in his Government, amounting to 18,000,
men, in order to k.in the Seraskier.
The Greeks are said to be now treated very arnica-
bly in the lonian Islands; and it is even alleged, that
nevoiations are on foot between the Lord High Com-
missioner and the Senate of the. Morea. To the latter
pan of this statement we attach no credit.

The following paragraph appears i 3 the Hanaburgh
-Papers

" Wasuleclov, FEB. 2.s.—The British Ambassador has waited
on the Secretary of State, and read to him a letter from Mr.
Carew°, in which the latter formally disclaims all intention on
the part of Great Britain to occupy Cuba, and adds, that it
would not be honuurablc to take advantage of the present weak-
ness of the Spani.h Government for such a purpose. The Am-
bassador had formal orders from his Government to make this
communication."

The hint here given must of course be considered
as equally applicable to any other Power who medi-
tates taking advantage of the present weakness of the
Spanish Government. We need scarcely add, that
should any l'ower be so unjust as to make the at-
tempt. it will establish a new case, to which the
present disclamation of Mr. CANNING can by no
means apply.

EXTRACTS OF PRIVATE LETTERS FROM MADRID.
TUESDAY, MARCH SS.

M. Arguelles has lately been sounding the alarm
amongst the Deputies, when he saw that there was a
disposition amongst them to effect an arrangement.
Ha has gone the utmost lengths of exaltation in sow-
ing suspicions in their minds, with respect to the con-
duct of the English Minister here, and the views of
tl:e English Cabinet. He has said, that England is
connected with the Holy Alliance; that it is all a
plot between her and the Continental Powers to,ruin
the liberties of Seain ; and that if they enter into any
kind of negotiations, they may as well at once give
up the Constitution. These representations, or rather
misrepresentations, are to be found in another form,
in' that letter which Arguelles addressed to M. Jabat
(not to Lord Holland, as I formerly stated, from er-
roneous information), and they had such an effect
upon the Deputies, that all thoughts of proceeding
upon this point have been given up for the present.
It is reported here, that the ultimatum of the French
Government has been, a few days ago, sent to Sir
William A'Court, and that he deems it useless to pre-
sent it until the new Ministers ate in office.
M. Arguelles is much offended with M. Jabat, for
Publishing his letter. He says that he wrote it under
the sanction of the strictest confidence, and that, too,

in a moment of heat, giving it to be understood that
he would now retract whatever he has said or insi-
nuated against Sir W. A'Court. The only answer
which S►r W. A'Court has made to the letter has been
to send it to the friends of M. Arguelles, that they
might see how much it differs from the facts of the case.
Wzmunar, reLuicm 96.
I have just received, and inclose a copy of a pam-
phlet, which will be published in a few days, entitled,
" On modifying Me Constitution." It is well written,
and likely to produce a powerful effect. Since it.
