Iran the report of the Commissioners, relative to
titc liquidation of the claims of the Rhenish provinces
of the Prussian Monarchy, originating in the period
wilen they were in the hands of France, it appears that
t'le whole amount of the claims recognised in the years
and 1823, was 34,337,741 francs; nearly 29 mil-
loin are claims, for which the claimants had legal titles,
a►►d aM►at 5,400,000 claims for which no legal title
`'•'l6 be produced, but which are allowed as equitable.

By the arriVal of the Meditetrinean at Liverpool, we'
have intelligence from Pernambuco to the 25thDeceinber,
at which time all was tranquil. The 12th of December
a Fiend' vessel arrived there from Rio de Janeiro, with
an account of the EMPEROR having dissolved the Cortes ;
and by the same conveyance some of the Pernambuco
Deputies returned to Pernambuco This caused great
consternation, and a meeting took place at the Palace;
to consider of measures to be adopted. The meeting
did not separate until six o'clock at night, and it was
decided that Deputies should be dispatched to Rio de
Janeiro, to communicate with the EMPEROR relative to
his late proceedings ; nothing further of importance oc-
curred, excepting the election of CAVALLI. It was
understood at Pernambuco, that the Government would
wait the result of the communication to the EMPEROR*
It appears that at Pernambuco there is little attach-
meat to Portugal. The 13ahia, Brazilian brig of war,
continued to cruise off the port, and had captured the
Incomparavil, a vessel from Lisbon. Her orders were
to capture every ship coming from Portugal, whether
under a neutral or even under a Brazilian flag. The
new Junta had passed a decree ordering every unmar-
ried Portuguese, who had not previously taken the
1 oath of adherence to the Brazilian Constitution, to quit
the country in three days.

The French Papers of Monday, with the Eloile of
Tuesday, have been received. The Moniteur contains
two Royal Ordonnances, authorising the publication
in France of several Papal Bulls issued in December,
and ordering the Canonical institution of several Bishops
and Archbishops. The non-official part contains a very
long report (above two pages of the Moniteur) on the
affairs of the Bank of France, by the Governor, the Duke
of GA ETA; and the report of Censors in the General
Meeting of the Proprietors on the 29th of January.

Private letters from Paris state, that intelligence of
some importance is daily expected from M. MAR•
CELLUS,WhO proceeded some time ago on a secret mission
to Madrid. It is generally supposed that the instruc-
tions of this diplomatist include the attempt at least to
bring over the Spanish Court to a more liberal way of
thinking on the subject of finance, and that he must re-
quire, or, if necessary, insist, that some money be raised
immediately, at whatever sacrifice with respect to the
conditions on which it is furnished. Now, as all the
capitalists of Europe have refused to make any ad-
vances without an acknowledgment, in some shape
or other, of the Loans of the Cortes, it is concluded,
that however unwilling FERDINAND may be, to this
g, complexion he must come at last." Meantime
every department of the Government is in a state
of utter destitution, while in addition to the claims
upon him from those immediately surrounding his
person, nnotNANu has to look around him for the
means of defraying the demand of the French Govern-
ment for the expenses of his restoration, amounting to
34,000,000 of francs, and the charges to be incurred
for his ill-concerted and hopeless expeditions to South
America. Such is the situa. ion, indeed, of Spanish
finance, that without some amelioration of the system,
the condition of the creditors appears almost equally
hopeless, whether the recognition of the Constitutional
debts takes place or not.

This forenoon we received the following intelligence
from Jamaica : as it is not of a later date than that
previously received, it contains nothing further relative
to the recent insurrection :
JAMAICA, DECEMBER 24.

Admiral Sir L. W. Halsted and family, and his Majes-
ty's Commissioners, the Consul-General, and some of
the Consuls for Colombia, were entertained during their
stay for one day at Barbadoes, at a dljeune a la four-
chette, given lay Mr. Cavan, of that Island.
The effect produced on trade, on the Spanish Main,
by the arrival of the Commissioners and Consul-General
at Jamaica, has been of a most favourable kind: houses
at this island are preparing to establish branches in Co-
lombia, and the influx of British trade through the At-
lantic ports alone of Colombia, is expected soon to reach
four or five millions sterling. It will require upwards
of 30 days for the Commissioners and Consul-General
to get up the Magdalena to Honda. The stream sets down
very strong, and the sails are furled up the whole way,
a breeze scarcely ever prevailing on the river ; the heat
is very excessive, and a species of hard-biting mosquito
infests the river in myriads. The usual mode is to en-
camp on sand-banks every night, with mosquito-nets
suspended over portable beds, or cots. The Consul-
General takes his Lady and family to Bogota, and the
sufferings they will have to encounter in the Magdalena
are of no ordinary kind.
