There is but little doing here at present. Console

Bills, ever since the dividends hare been payable.
There is not to much business doing i■ the Foreign
Funds this morning as yesterday. The New and Old
Prussian ars now the favourite spec ; and the Contractors
are exerting all ekill in manoeuvres, in which they are
expert Otmerals, and, no doubt, when the Market is
sufficiently advanced, will make a good retreat with
the whole of their spoils.

Charleston Papers arrived this morning to the 16th
of June, from which we extract the following:—
The latest intelligence from respectable persons
state,•that at Paraguay they are collecting a consider-
able number of troop.. The object of it is nut men-
tioned, and different opinions are entertained. By
some it is said that the Dictator is fearful of internal
movements, supported by a foreign Government ; by
others that be meditates an attack upon the province
of Corientes. At Nembuco he keeps 700 in quarters,
and has b vessel, of war. All the Guard de Coast.
are reisfurced. Every day that passes the Dictator
augments the narrowness of his ideas; far from de-
cidieg further freedom of the ports and to permit a
free entry and departure to speculators.
We have certain information that the deputies who
proceeded to the city of Cordova, to attend the meet-
ing of the General Congress, were preparing to depart
to their booms after publishing a manifesto.
The Mexican Minister, Eliyaldi, who has been for
some time expected from that country, is not now ex-
pected before June. Some changes bad taken pl..ce
in the internal concerns of the revolutionary govern-
ment. •

COLONEL CO]IIIIING ♦ND MR. M. DliFFIC.—Tbe
long expected duel between these gentlemen took place
on Saturday last on the Caroline shore. Mr. Dutlie
received his antagonist's ball in the aide. which lodged
near the back bone; and when the intelligence came
away he was in a delirious state. Thus Las termi
mited an affair which lids for s.mte months occupied
a considerable portion of the public attention through-
out the Union.

Paris papers to the Mb inst. bring accounts front
Constantinople. which state that the execution and
sale of Greeks continue in that capital. All the Eu-
ropean Ambassadors had retired to their country seats,
as the feast of Ramadan had begun, and all business
would be suspended for several weeks. Several vessels
had previously sailed to reinforce the Capitan Padre.
who still remained at Scio, and wh se fleet had se-
verely suffered in its crews, from an epidemic disorder
which had broken oat amongst them. ' The thousands
of dead bodies unburied .in the shore, or floating on
the sea, bad created a kind of pestilence. Baron de
Rothschild left Paris on the 7th inst. for St. Peters•
burg, in consequence of the intention again expressed
by the Emperor Alexander to mire a considerable
loan. The departure of this great capitalist, and the
purpose for which he was hastening to the itossian
capital, once more revived the expectations of a war
between Russia and Turkey. The t(ing of Sweden
has issued a decree, allowing his subjects to trade
freely with the South American Sates, arid lowering
the Custom duties on their merchandise and produce
'f be French journals in the service of legitimer.o, re•
present the Insurgents as gaining ground in Spain.
Many circumstances, however, make these representa-
tions appear fictitious; for among other contradictions,
the " Army of the Faith," Which former accounts had
swelled to three, and even five thousand men, is not
computed now at more than two hundred. These pa-
pers contain no additional devils of the late conspi-
racy at Colmar, although there are accounts from that
city, announcing that the Court of Assize bad opened
its sittings on Cie titli inst., for the trial of the indi-
viduals concerned in the plot of Belton, which brake
out on the first of last January. The Couttitutionnel
states, that all the artillery of the " Army of the
Loire," which had been deposited in the arsenals of
Rochefort and la Rochelle, bad been sent in waggons
to the Sanitary Cordon on the Spanish frontier. The
Preach Chamber of Deputies did not take up the die.

In Tllll COSIMONS.--PClfions fa the meant; n,
Cie late lamented and ill-treated Queen. The CI:Aa
exttort of the Reamer:en moved that the stun
2,2851. should be granted to pay these pensions,
except SWARD'S, bring more than 2001. a year. 1!-
thing was agreed to without any dispute. and not!:
was said worthy of our notice, except that Mr. VA*..
SITTAR7 !hought it more dignified to call Sumas a
Maitre d' Hotel than to call him in plain English,
!louse Steward. This would be excusable commis is
a fop, just piping-hot faun Paris, part of the proceeds
of his half-pay or pension still sticking in his teeth it,
the rags of a stinking ragoo; but not very excotab:e

tion of his very soul, could not pro.! source the word,
in a way that a Frenchman would not laugh at.—W,
are glad that this trifle (and we think it enough) has
been granted to the poor Queen's seminal, and we a.
ways thought that it would be dune.—One of th.
parties (soon after the Queen's death) applies!, m
for advice saying at the same tine, it was the inter.
tion to put the case into the bandit of Seer ItoensAN•
VILSON, and Meestear Moots c. We advised,
all means, to pursue this plan, if the abject
the patties was, to cense a wrangle in Par.
Homo, and to gut no money ; but, if tie
ohject was to get some mosey, by no morns to think
about Seer ROBB EART or Mee:tear Mosta! Our a..
vice seems to have been followed.—The last QIIVA,
besides so many other things to endear her memory t.
us, has left us no charge, in comparison with that
left by other Queen's. The Queen that went befvt•
her has left ns about twenty dines (we believe) the sins
to pay; and we think (for we have not the account Woe
us) that the servants of the King's great greed:sot:a
(Queen CA ROLIN e) still, to this day, cost as more char
those of the late heroic Queen CanottNc, who rem .e
delivered this nation from a state of such terror that
made men afraid to speak upon any matter connect,
with government or politics ; for which we owe Le
everlasting gratitude. Sbe did more than ever tn.
done before to pull down the real enemies of our free-
dom and happiness. She gave a tosie to the pubk
voice and a turn to the public mind, which they ei.
never loss.
