Ey an Express from Paris we have received French

Papers of Monday, and private letters from that capi-
tal, dated on Monday evening. The Funds had fallen
to 98 f. 20 c. owing, it was said, to the absence of great
capitalists. It appears from one of these letters that some
Members of the French Cabinet dream of South America
returning under the yoke of Spain ; and it is rumoured
in Paris, that tacit if not overt assistance will be afforded
to Spain by more than one European Government; in-
deed it would require more than one to brief; South Ame-
rica again under the feeble yoke of Spain, particularly
as England and the United States have declared they
will resist all interference of other Powers in the affairs
of the New World.

MEXICO, MAY 22.
My letter of the 15th of April informed you of the
events which lipd occurred in this country up to that
period. We have since received further confirmation
from England of the intention of the Ex-Emperor,
Iturbide, to attempt a landing here. The activity and
watchfulness of Government have, in consequence, re-
doubled, and as a preliminary measure, it caused to be
arrested, between the 14th and 15th inst. a group of
agitators, all Iturbidists, who had instituted a kind of
club.—Don Antonio Andrade, General of Division, who
was likewise arrested, has several times before been de-
tected in framing conspiracies—all in favourof the impe-
rial diadem ; but in consideration of his large family and
connexions, he has invariably been pardoned ; this time,
however, he is not likely to meet with the same indul-
gence, but will in all probability have to perform a tra-
gical part very shortly, General Bravo being deter-
mined, by severity, to stifle in its birth any attempt sub-
versive of the existing order of things. Count Del Valle,
another conspirator, is likely to share the same fate; he
is an unruly and dissipated individual.
The opportune arrival of part of the loan, however
small, contracted by Messrs. B. A. Goldschmidt and Co.
was very acceptable to Government. It enabled the
Executive to pay off arrears both to civilians and the
army, and has given additional vigour to its exertions.
It was immediately ratified, although the disadvan-
tageous terms were obvious to every one. But whoever
is acquainted with the immense resources of Mexico,
will easily admit that that country can without difficulty
pay off all encumbrances, and that this loan, which mo-
knentary political circumstances alone could have
prompted, will be entirely redeemed after a few years'
tranquillity. The acknowledgment of independence on
the part of Great Britain—an event which recent ad-
vices give us great hopes to look for very shortly—will
contribute to establish this happy state of things ; and
this portion of the globe will then enjoy that station
among nations to which nature has destined her.
Gene:al Bravo, the Regenerator of Mexico, is gone
with 7,000 excellent troops to Guadalajara the Captain-
General of that State is Quintanar, a man of monarchi-
cal principles, one or the last who abandoned the cause
of Royalty for that of Independence. After securing
'his co•operation, or, if necessary, disarming his troops,
Bravo proceeds in the direction of the coast to frustrate
any rash attempt on the part of Itur bide. Tampico,
Alvarado, and Vera Cruz, the only points where he can
land, are guarded by officers and troops of tried fide-
lity : many (4. the former have to lament some relation
or friend by imperial tyranny.
.During Bravo's absence, the affairs of the State are
conducted by M. Aleman, an intelligent and honour-
able man, whose measures bear alike the stamp of pru-
dence and vigour—a strenuous opposer to the usurper,
and to whom Mexico will one day or other be indebted
for her prosperity and independence.

The Infant Don MrauEL, of Portugal, had an au-
dience of the KING on Sunday ; after which he received
the Ministers, M. TALLEYRAND, and several Marshals
of France. Galignanis Messenger attributes the fall in
the Funds to the rejection of the Law respecting Reli-
gions Societies.
A letter from Seville, via Bayonne, states that the
Queen of Pourtrom. had given a splendid fete to up-
wards of 300 of her friends ; and that the next day
every person was sent to a temporary exile from Lis-
bon. A circular is said to have been addressed to the
Ministers and Consuls at the foreign Courts, &c. an-
nouncing the King of PORTUGAL': intention to give a
Constitution to his subjects.
The Moniteur of Sunday, which bad previously
reached us, contains a Royal Ordonnance for regu-
lating a gas company, and in its non-official part anl
article, which we subjoin, relative to the exercise ofl
the French fleet for the ensuing two months. Another
change of Ministry has taken place at Madrid. It
appears, however, a matter of little consequence who
is the nominal Minister, since the measures remain
the same. The present change appears to be from
bad lo worse ; and- has been effected by the Apostolic
