SATURDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Accounts from Mexico state that the French admiral block-
ading Vera Cruz, has sent another ultimatum to the Mexi-
can government, in which he states that if the French de-
mands are not complied with in 20 days, from the 13th of
June to the 3d of July, he will attack Vera Cruz and Tam-
pico.
The French government have changed the terms of the
blockade, and ordered that all vessels should be taken ap-
peering on the coast of Mexico, excepting ships of war and
English packet boats.
The Sirius steamer has arrived from St. Petersburg, bring-
ing letters of the 15th instant, new style. We do not hear
that they contain any political news of importance. Severe
weather has been experienced in the Baltic, which has done
great-damage to the Shipping.
The Hamburgh mail has arrived, which brings Metalliques
1051; Bank Shares, 1421.
The extreme fluctuation in Consols during the present
week has been about per cent., which may be chiefly attii-
buted to the operations in the Corn market.
In the Foreign Funds during the week there has not been
anti fluctuation of importance. Spanish Stock has rather
receded, and Portuguese somewhat improved. In other
foreign securities there has been but little doing.
