• The French Funds age quoted today as having risen to 711
.15 c. on Toesdei, or 25 centimes per cent. From this rise it is
inferred that the disaffection in the French MU/ is not of so
serious a nature as was first thought.

Lord LIVERPOOL, in the House of Lords, and

Mr. CANNING, in the Commons gave notice last
night, that on the 14th of April it is their inten-
tion to lay before Parliament the promised Papers

explanatory of the part which this country has taken
in the late negociations respecting the state of affairs
between France and Spain. It will be naturally in-
ferred from this, that the hope which Ministers a few
days ago expressed, that peace would yet be pre-

served, is now extinct. We believe that as far as
war depends on the determination of the French Go-
vernment, all hope of averting it is extinct; and that
to this conclusion the Cabinet were, at length, re-
luctantly forced to come at their meeting on Tuesday
afternoon at the Foreign Office.
'Earl GREY put a question to the same effect as.
that which Lord JOHN RUSSELL so sagely propounded
in the. House of Commons on the preceding evening,
and received an answer precisely similar.—Lord
LIVERPOOL declared that there was no treaty existing
by which this country is bound, under all manner of
circumstances, to support the BOURBON dynasty on
the throne of France; and that the utmost to which
our obligations extend, is to assist in repressing any
attempt to restore to the Flench throne that family II
which was so lately the pest of Europe.

We have this forenoon received, by express, private
ad vices from Paris of the 25th instant.
The conspiracy of the French army of the Py-
renees does not appear to be confirmed to the ex-
tent repotted in preceding accounts. It is however
certain, that one of the .Aides-du-Camp of General
GulLLEssixor was in the plot, and that its rami-
fications were so extensive as to produce great un-
easiness. General GUILLEMINOT dues not himself
appear to be suspected, but not having been able to
choose his Aides-du-Camp better, and being besides
tardier than was expected in his arrangements for
advancing, he is considered unfit to be at the head
of the Staff. The General, however, has always had

a high character for penetration and sagacity, and
• there are people who persist in seeing nothing to the
contrary in the circumstances which have led to his
. disgrace. He cannot, it is said, bornuch to blame
who makes a bad choice when bad is the best; and
to stand still when it is of no use to go forward, is
thought not to be unwise policy.
The respect which is generally entertained for

Gurr.castraor's judgment appears to have led to,
the exaggerated interpretation which was at first
,given to the nature of his report to the Minister of

War. It stated the circumstances which retarded
his preparations, and made it necessary for some of
the troops in the rear to fall back for the present ;
but it is denied that it contained any imputation
against the general loyalty of the troops.
The Duke de BELLUNO left Paris to replace Gum-
LEYIIVOT, on Monday morning. His first head-quar-
ters will be at Bayonne; and it was expected that
three days after his arrival there, the Spanish fron-
tier will be passed.

It is confirmed that the parties arrested in the
Bourdeauz Diligence were on their way to Vittoria,
where Colonel FABVIER is organizing a body of French
and Italian refugees, for the purpose of a counter in•

ration of France. One of the prisoners, called PIA;
>as the, rank of Camp Marshal ; two others are Offi-
cers of an inferior rank ; three are merchants.—
The oompletest proofs of their guilt were found upon
them—tricoloured cockades, proclamations, Sec.—
Theirpapers give a clue to the names of several of
their confederates, three of whom have been already
arrested.
The Vittoria band is to be commanded by Gene-
rid LALLIIMAT7D. Colonel FAIVINR has merely the
charge of the preparatory organization. They in-
tend to proclaim the elevation of the Duke of Oa-
LOANS to the Throne, from an idea that it will lessen
the chance of any foreign interference with the suc-
cess of their project. That they would prefer young
NzroLzon is probable, from the known attachments

of the principal leaders ; but they seem directed to
their present choke by a knowledge of the compact

among the Allied Powers to resist by their united
power any attempt in favour of a f,IONAPARTI.
