FOREIGN INTELLIGENCI.

STAIN.

EXTRAORDINARY— EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
(From the Times, of yesterday.)
TOTAL BREAK-UP OF THE COURT AND MINISTRY OF DON

CARLOS.

We have received, by an extraordinary express, the Mon-
iteur Parisien of Saturday night, containing the following :
"TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH.

"THE GIEN'ERAL COMMANDING THE `LOTH MILITARY
DIVISION TO TILE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

" Don Carlos has dismissed the whole of his Court and
his Ministers. He has returned to Lecumbery.
" MM. de la Piscina, Erro, &c. have taken refuge in
France. _

" The Navarrese battalions cortmi': every species of ex-
cess. General Moreno was shot yesterday at Urdax."

" To this despatch," says our Paris correspondent, (whose
letter is dated " Saturday night, 11 o'clock,") " it would be
unnecesary, indeed useless, to add a single word. The ex-
cesses committed by the Nayarrese battalions are, of course,
the consequences, or at least, the immediate precursors, of
their dissolution.

" Regarding the whole affair as virtually at an end, I shall
not trouble you with any further expresses respecting it, even
to announce the arrival of Don Carlos in France. Cabrera
may still occasion trouble to the Christinos, and, possibly,
obtain temporary advantages over them, or successfully re-
sist them for yet some time; but it is not deemed possible
that he can change the fate of the conflict, which, I repeat,
seems already decided."
The same paper states that Captain De La Gondu and
Major (chl' d'eseadron) Sargoza left Paris on Saturday.
" These officers," says the Moniteur, "are sent in quality
of commissioners of the French Government to the head-
quaaters of Generals O'Donnell, Valdez, and Espartero,
commanding the (Queen's) armies of Catalonia, of the Cen-
tre, and of Navarre."
The Moniteur Parisien also announces that the King of
the French had received from the Duke of Nassau the noti-
fication of the demise of his father, his Serene Highness Duke
William of Nassau. _ .

M. De Lagrene, resident Minister of France at Athens,
arrived at Marseilles on the 31st ult.

NEW YORK COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the New York Morning Herald of Aug. 24.)

FILID AY, AUG. 23-6, P. rt.—This has been bill day for
the Steamer Liverpool, which takes her departure to-morrow,
there has been a fair amount of bills offering, and the sales
have been as large as the condition of the Money Market
would permit. The rate is 81 per cent, or 4 dollars 82 cents
the pound sterling. Very few sales have been made on time,
and the United States Bank has done the principal business,
notwithstanding a prevailing impression that the bills of that
institution are not so readily discounted in London as those
of some private houses, by reason of the objection which ex-
ists there to the acceptance of Mr. Jaudon as agent—On
France the rate is f 5 221 a 5 25. At the Stock Exchange
the business done has not been large, and prices have evin-
ced no marked change since yesterday—Bank of Commerce
declined per cent : North American Trust and Banking im-
proved-1 per cent—Kentucky Bank per cent ; Canton per
cent; Harlem Rail Road -1 per cent.
There are in circulation counterfeit 20 dollar bills of the
U. S. Bank, payable at New Orleans, dated Philadelphia,
July 4, 1826, letter T. No. 3910, execution and paper bad ;
also, counterfeit 20 dollar bills of the Commercial Bank of
Albany are in circulation in the lake country. It is stated
is a western paper that all the public works of Illinois will
have to stop for want of funds. The hands near Springfield
left work on the Bth with two months wages due. It has
been proposed to pay the contractors in State bonds. The
same paper sta'es that some runs have been made on the
State Bank of Illinois for specie, not from a want of confi-
dence in the bank, but on account of the high rates of ex-
change. The assignee of the Philadelphia Loan Company
has effected an arrangement for the payment of the special
depositors of the company. 200,000 dollars are said to be
deposited with the Guard Bank for that purpose.
The commercial relations of this country with Great Bri-
tain, are, at this moment in so singular a position, that our
leading merchants are seemingly at a loss for some rule of
action by which to regulate their future movements. With
the changed prospects of cotton, and the gloomy appearances
which surround the affairs of England, many fears are in-
dulged that the goods ordered by importers, who in common
vith most dealers, partook in the confidence of the cotton
dealers, and ordered largely, will prove more than our ex-
ports, at the diminished price, wil! furnish the means of pay-
ing for ; and, as stocks are no longer available as a basis of
exchange, the demand for specie maybe more than our banks
can sustain, snore especially if the crop is short in England.
There are many reasons to suppose that the imports will be
large. It is an undoubted fact, that our importers have or-
dered largely, and it is highly probable the spinners will send
over on their own account some of the large stocks of mer-
chandise they have on hand to seek a market. The returns
which we recently gave of the duties received at the New
York Custom-house, for half the present year, corroborate
this fact. We are not however, of opinion that the supply
will greatly exceed the demand for merchandise, although
the excess may be fifty per cent over the amount of last year ;
in which case it may reach nearly as much as was imported
in 1836. The following is a table of imports in the United
States for a period embracing eight years :
