LONDON LATEST NEWS.

Wednesday Evening, Ilalfipast Seven o'clock.
The Consol market was exceedingly depressed yesterday, and at one
period of the day the price was as low as 861 1. -A re-action subse-
quently took place, and the quotation finally left off at 871. This
morning the market opened with a considerable degree of buoyancy
and 878 . was early the quotation for consols for account. The last
price this afternoon was 811
\%e noticed the recent advance in Belgian Stock, which has been
partially maintained, 83f being the last price to-day. Brazilian Bonds
have been in considerable request, as little doubt is entertained of the
Brazilian Government being fully prepared to meet the April divi-
dends. The closing price of these securities was 57f. Dutch Bonds
have been better to-day, leaving off at 1; and Danish closed at
731 74. Spanish Bonds are without material change, 168 1 being the
last quotation. We have nothing to notice in any other description
of stock. • • - •

Letters are •in town from Ilayti to the Ist January. The Coffee
crop had proved bad both as respects quantity and quality, and this
article had already risen to 14 gourdes, with every prospect of a fur-
ther rise. The country was tranquil, but business was in a very
depressed state, no sales could be effected, and there was an utter
want of confidence.

The last advices from Canada contain some mercantile intelligence of
considerable interest. We learn by the Circular published by the
Quebec Merchants, that the early importations of dry goods last
spring were very considerable, far exceeding those of that period in
Mil. Until the breaking. out of the cholera, sales were very large,
and at remunerating prices ; in fact, the quantity of dry goods sold
previous to the 10th June last, was greater than ever took place during
the same period in Quebec. The appearance of the dreadful
scourge put an almost entire stop to. business for about three
months, the consequence of which is, that at the end of the
year a heavy stock of dry goods, particularly of the coarse
kind of bleached and unbleached coLous, remained on liana.
All descriptions Of Woollens, except fine and con-limn cloths, have
been sold, the market' being clear of •fia.nnels, I:lashings, baizes, &e.ln cloths there was nothing done before the middle of October, after
which time the sales effected were considerable, but in consequence
of the stock which hail been accumulating since the spring, a heavier
stock of this al ticle remaia ed over than was ever remembered. Stuffs
have gone off very slowly during thj season, but at a fair advanee ;
the stock remaining over is light. The importations of Scotch linens
was less last year than usual, and the old stock has been nearly all
disposed of. The import of Irish linens has not been more than equal
to the demand, and prices were steady. Upon the whole it was con-
sidered, that if there was no reappearance of the epidemic, all sorts
of goods would Le in fair demand at remunerating prices.

UNITED STATES.—The Ontario, packet ship, has arrived at Ports-
mouth, from New York. She brings papers to the 21st ult. 'lnc
New York Gazelle of the 19th contains the message of the President
to Congress, dated the 16th of January, accompanying all the official
documents relative to the Carolinas. The ?resident denies that any
State can separate itself from the Union without the consent of all the
other States. This point he argues at consiiierable length and with
great ability, and denounces the movement of the South as rebellion.
After establishing the right of the general government to preserve the
union, and to compel obedience to its decrees, even by force of
arms, if requisite for that end, the President proceeds to consider the
extent of the means at his disposal to cause the execution of the laws,
and to suggest such as it may be further necessary to provide.
The Custom-house at Charleston is ordered to be transferred to the
neighbouring fortress of Fort Pinckney, for the greater security of the
collectors. if the duties cannot be collected in ally port, he asks leave
to abolish the privilege of such port, and to establish its rights in some
more secure place. Collectors of customs are to be empowered to
retain_ the custody of vessels till the duties are paid. If the judicature
of the state of Carolina should interpose, its decisions must be over-
ruled by those of the federal judges, who are the only authority in
such matters. " Neither the process," says he, " nor the authority
" of the local tribunals, can be respected consistently with the au-
" thority of the laws, or the rights and security of the citizen. If
" they be submitted to, the protection due from the Government
"to its officers and citizens is withheld, and there is at once
" an end not only of the laws but of the Union." All persons
injured by the enforcement of the Carolinian ordinance while
executing their duties as agents of the Union, to he indemnified
out of the revenues of the Union, hy an application to the federal tri-
bunals. These, with some other measures of less importance, are
thought sufficient to enforce the laws, unless the military force of
the Carolinians he called out to resist the officers of the General
Government, and even then a few modifications will adapt the act of
1795 (fcr repressing state resistance) to the present emergency. This
important document fills six columns of an American paper, and
took one hour and a quarter in reading to the Congress at Washington.
