We learn from Paris that General Cannel, who is
closely confined on account of the conspiracy, is still
au secret, and that even his Counsel have not yet been
allowed to see him. lie has been already examined
several times, and his examinations have been very
long. lle has written from his prison a second letter
to his Majesty the King, and one to the Minister of
war, but the contents of them are nct known.

A general gloom pervaded the money market this,
morni•hg. At the opening of business, Consols were'
done at 75k, at which they left off on Saturday, but
almost immediately they fell to 75f and the sales,
even at that trice, were heavy. The sellers are the
same parties whn sold out so largely on Friday a.he
Saturday; and to add to their depressing influence
on the market, the orders from the country this morn-
ing for the sale of stock an. immense.

It is said that the particulars of this plot, which so
nearly borders on insanity, will excite the hightst
astonishment.

Atmusr 11.—By the Ordinance of the King re-
ipecting the organization of the General StafF, op.
portu:nty is given to all the Officers on half-pay, pro-
vided they have the necessary qualifimions, to apply
for a commission in that cosy,. The candidates ale
to be exanuned by Miiitary Commissioners in the
month of September. This revolution, like the Or-
dinance respecting the promotions, has produced 2
very favourable impression on the military upon
haltpay.

Whatever may be the probability of a rupture of one
amicable relations with the United States, it is certain
that it is the apprehension of such a rupture which isthe
cause of the present panic among the holders of Stock.
It is still American Houses and persons who may be
supposed to be best versant in A tnerican rolitics, who
are the principal and most earnest sellers. For our-1
selves, we certainly think that however just our cause
of complaint against the United States may be, it is
of a nature far more likely to be well settled by
negociati, a than by any appeal to arms. It is as
little the interest of the United States, as it is the
intercs: of Britain to go to war at the present cii.is ;
and s% here war is the interest cf neither party, war
need not be very seriously apprehended.

Two Mails from Holland have a-. rived since our
