It Veo4cl certainly be doing injustice to the public
here, to ascribe the interest it takes in great political
events to regard for its mercantile interest only, alai to
accuse it of indifference to all events which do not Ili..
mediately affect it. If the late change in the head of
the French Monarchy may be cow,idered in this vim
of view, yet the sympathy it shews at this moment in
the unhappy fate of the Es-Emperor Iturbide, catint:st
.well be explained, except from the personal regard
%%hick that remit kable man inspired doling his visit het'e

help being persuaded that he would not commerce the
execution of his extensive projects without a l robab.le
hope of success. He had given us here to tish!e:
that the lower classes of the people and the Ceigy
were sincerely attached to him; and though he by no
means explained his virus, he laad'excited such a pre-
judice in his favour, that this tiausLeitt appearance suf-

contracting parties, because it was an expression of
their elevated sentiment, and the result of a diplomatic
negotiation. We now observed, that it evidently es-
caped the notice of the crowd. astonished at the great-
ness of the object, that a principle, true in itself, under
whatever form it mar have been called forth into prac-
tical politics, always carries in itself the pledge of its
duration ; as, on the other hand, all treaties dictated
merely by the necessity of the moment, have within
them the seeds of their dissolution. Of this truth, which
is placed beyond doubt by theory and the esperience
of ages, we have had again an opportunity of convinc-
ing ourselves; when, since that remarkable period of the
Holy Alliance, a complication of relations took place,
in which the momentary interests of the several States
united by the Alliance seemed to be so involved, that
nothing but
.a means almost unknown in ancient diplo-,
macy, viz, the strict injunction of the moral law : that
is to say, an absolute disregard of all selfish motives,
could give the parties concerned sufficient energy to
neglect all these interests, and make them subordinate
to the general objects of the alliance. But even these
actual evidences of unshaken consistency, this persever-
ing adherence to the principle, were not yet sufficient to
convince all the sceptics, and they always returned to
their original assertion, that the present system of the
Great Cabinets could not be permanent, because it
entirely depended on the personal character of its august
founders: that consequently the edifice, resting on its
foundation, must fall to ruin, as soon as one of its sup.l
potters should submit to the common lot, mortality.-1
This time is now come, and everything indicates that
incredulity will be again put to shame. The death in
question is, indeed, too recent, for any one to pretend
to calculate beforehand with mathematical certainty all
its possible consequences. But is far as a fact which
passes before our eyes can authorise analogous conclu-
sions, there is no reason to apprehend any shock to the
general system from that melantholy evento.--we allude
to the opinion already expressed in fact by the majority
of our mercantile world, which, as matters now stand,
is of considerable weight. All our speculators in ex-
pectation of a decline in the Funds have been deceived,
aad immediately on the arrival of the news an extraor-
dinary activity WAS observed. -Tire demand exceeded
the supply, and the Funds of every description imme-
diately rose. It is remarkable that at the same moment
the former scarcity of money had suddenly ceased;
most transactions are done for ready cash, and discount
has fallen to 5} per sent.
Though the French Funds, since the re-opening of
the Exchange are noted rather lower than pirate ac-
counts had stated them, it seems certain chat the change
in the Monarch will cause no change of system in the
Administration of France, and the public Funds con-
;slue to rise in our market. Allgemeine Zeituner Sept. 19.
