LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

PARIS, SUN DAY EVENING. The Time: correspondent
writes that Paris is to all appearance perfectly tranquil. It
has not, however, been considered necessary to diminish in
any way the precautions that have been for sometime taken by
the authorities. Yesterday was the day alleged to have been
fixed on for the commencement of a manifestation, but both
day and night passed off without any incident to disturb public
tranquillity. This day, people seem to think of nothing but
profiting by the fine weather, which has again set in after many
days of cold and wet. Nothing positive can be said as to the
maintenance of tranquillity until the passing of the Electoral
Bill. The excitement respecting the Greek question and the
rupture with England has nearly subsided. Lof'd Normanby
is still at Versailles, although it is stated that he leaves for
London to-morrow, in consequence of instructions received
foom his Government last night . The Government papers
contradict the announcement of warlike preparations. The
Globe's correspondent writes that Athen's accounts of the Bth
received in Paris are favourable to the course pursued by Mr.
Wyse, and unfavourable to the conduct of Mr. Gros, who ap-
pears to have been misled by the Greek Government. The
public enthusiasm for the Government was cooling down. The
sitting in the Senate, in which the Minister of Foreign Affairs
was charged with having made a lying statement as to the de-
mands of England had been published, and produced consi-
derable effect.

COPENHAGEN.—Accounts state that there was a good pros-
pect of an amicable settlement with Prussia.
HAMBURGH, MAY 17.—Grain market maintains a firm posi-
tion. Wheat brought fully previous prices, and occasionally
a shade more.—Coffee in good demand ; prices tending up-
wards.—Sugar improved.—Cotton. Little offering, and tran-

Wool fiat.—Spelter dull.
ST. PETERSBURG, MAY 10.—A steamer went hence to Cron-
stadt and back, yesterday, for the first time this spring.
CRONSTADT, MAY 10.—The easterly winds have carried the
whole of the ice to sea, and the passage on all sides is free.
SPAIN, MADRID, MAY l4th.—Although there is not the
slightest symptom of agitation apparent in this capital, the
government have within the ►ast few days adopted the most
extraordinary military precautions, the patrol has been
doubled, and strict orders have been issued to the officers of
the garrison to hold themselves in readiness to march at the
first summons.

ALEXANDRIA.—SaiIed, Sharpe and Princess, for Liverpool.
MAURITIUS, MARCH 30.—A severe hurricane was expe-
rienced here on the night of the 28th February and morning of

islands.

The English Market opened firmer to-day ; hut, after one
o'clock, various rumours in connexion with foreign politics,
and a report that Lord Normanby was about to leave Paris,
caused a decline: Buyers, however, appeared upon the fall,
and the market improved.
The Railway Market has been very quiet, with steadier quo-
tations ; but, towards the close of business, assumed a flattish
appearance generally, and closes a trifle under the opening
quotations. Foreign Markets quiet. Mexican lower. The
