Expresses from Paris brinLaceounts of a fall M the French
Funds of per cent. It was expected that Consols would rise
considerably In consequence of the news from France p but the
declaration of Mr. CAWSING last night, which seems to have been
wrongly interpreted in the City to mean that we were bound
to support the Bourbons, Les had a counteracting influence.

In a &COND EDITION of our Paper of yesterday,
se communicated EXCLUSIVELY to the Public the
art ival of intelligence more important than any that
has yet been received since the question of war be-
tween France and. Spain has been pending. We find
some of the Papers of this morning doubting the,
authenticity of our statement ; while at the very mo.
ment 'of their writing (such is the worth of their
sources of information), Express upon Express is
bringing the most ample confirmation of the decisive
facts we announced.

The PROJECT OF INVADDIG SPAIN is (for the pre-
sent, at least) AT AN END. The apprehensions which
the British Ministers are understood to have expressed

on the subject, are beginning to be realised, and the
wisdom of the mediatory course which (hey have pur-
sued •to be vindicated, in a manner which must for
ever confound, if anything can confound, the cla-
mours of faction. Most prophetically did Lord Li-
VERPOOL, at the commencement of the Session, de-
clare, that, " much as he dreaded and deprecated

war, as affecting the interests of Spain, he dreaded
lend deprecated it still more as affecting the interests
of France." It is on France the storm has burst—on
France that the just consequences of meditated ag-
gression and fully are bringing disaster,_ confusions
and disgrace.
The facts which we briefly announced in our Second
Edition of yesterday, were the receipt, by the French
Government, of a report from General Gut LL 1 NDT,

Chief of the Staff of the forces collected for the inva-
sion of Spain, representing that the condition and spirit
of the troops is such as to make it imprudent to ven-
ture on the projected cnterprize ; and that he has, in
consequence, ordered the cavalry to make, in the
Meantime, a retrograde movement.
The first confirmation of this intelligence which we
have to lay before our Readers is contained in the fol-
lowing Extract from the Private Correspondence of
the Times :

" PARIS, MARCH, 24.—Tsau o'Cwcx, P.M.

T send you the Moniteur of tbis morning, which contains
two Royal Ordonnances, the first appointing the Minister of
War, Major-General of the Army of the Pyrenees ; and the se-
cord, nominating General Digeon his interim successor. Marshal
Belluno, the Minister, has set out for the army at an early hour
this morning. This precipitate and unexpected measure was
only decided upon in the Council of yesterday; but perhaps is
not more precipitate and unexpected than it was necessary. The
First duty of his Excellency will be, not to direct operations
against Spain, any TO cO:ELL A CONSTIRACT IN IMI ARMY.
" It will be seen by the newspapers, that on Friday night, the
Bordeaux dili2ence was stopped in the neighbourhood of Pails,
and that several Office:l who occupied places in it, with false
passports, had been arrested and carried to the Police. Their
papers cor,rmed the stt<pici.ons of a conspiracy, which:had
bees for some time entertained. It embraces many Officers
of the Army of Spain, some Of whom would have been near
the person of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief. Two
c/' the 4:ties-.le-Catip of General Guilleminot are implicated in
the plat. I have heard .(though it does not rest on the same au-
thority) that General Guilleminot himself, who is Chief of the
Duke d'Anzouleme's StX, and who, from his high military cha-
racter, was appointed the Mentor of the Prince, is likewise im-
plicated. The Minister of War will proceed post-haste to the
army, and order the arrest of the conspirators in person. Promp-
titude and decision in such a case arc necessary to success. I
have not as yet bcen able to collect the necessary details either
with respect to the extent of the conspiracy, or the object of the
conspirators. It of course was intended to effect a change of
dynasty by Means of a military revolt, hut in whose favour, or by
whose co-operation, I is yet know nothing."

The article in the Paris Papers, refereed to in the
preceding letters, is in these terms :
" The day before yesterday the Police arrested, in the Bourg-
la-itcine, the Ilourcleaux Diligence, in which were several mili-
tary men, gob g towards the South, with false passports, and un-
der false names. General Plat is named amongst the Officers
who have been arrested. Many reports on this subject are in
circulation In Paris, which the future only will explain. It is
laid that a great number of papers, trunks, &c. which were for-
warded by the Diligence, have been sealed up. It is difficult to
believe that these:proceedings of the Police have not been pro-
voked by important indications. It will not be long before the
antentious of these 'travellers, who were so solicitous to conceal
astir names and their journey; will be discovered."

The following letter, which we have received this
:forenoon, from ow own Correspondent at Paris, fully
etvatrMs the fact of the spreading defection among
tbt French army and people:

• • " PA It TS, MoNnAy, Fiva uTweic,
