STOCK EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLO('K.
The Fonds maintained their prices yesterday after-

the utttitirati o )) of what was posted upon the Exchange,
1T hie 11, lt,r the n ttttt tent, depressed the prices, as Con-

.Lt 711.1. The Market, however, rallied, and Consuls
left of at in, at which they opened this morning.
They have since been done at 71 sellers, which is
about the price, with little business doing.

AUSTRIAN ACCOUN"T oi."rim 7th OF MARCO.
We have rereired this morning from Paris accounts
to a late hour on Wednesday evening. The usual
papers of Wednesday h:tve also arrived.
P.tats, M aactt 211.—The evening paper called
L'Eloile do Sqir, contains the following article.
".fin account from the. Austrian head•quarters at
!Ceti, of the *sth March says—
" The enemv, to time namber of 90119 men, advanced

" It was only the night and the precipitate flight of
the enemy, which hindered our troops from profiting
by all their advalita.; es.
" The General Chief has advanced without delay
upon Itieti, with the intention of vigorously attacking

the enemy.
" These two artions hare already sufficed to maim

served to augment.

Letters from Milan of the 10th state, that the,
luso of Maple. passed through Mantua on the 6th,
on his way to Floren.:e and Modena. General
F:.t-
stoxTic, in these letters, represented to have 40,000
men, and PIiPE and CARASCHS A 61),1100,--their
position to be favourable, on account of the heights,
and the Austrians to be under a disadvantage, for
want of light troops.
It is certain that Genoa, according to commercial'
accounts, has declared itself independent. The jusev,
nals of Rome make no mention of any communal
having taken place on the 7th.
A tumultuous discussion took place in the French
Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday. The order of the
day was a continuation of the debate on the Law of
Accounts.
The French five per cents. left off on Monday at
76E 60c.; opened on Tnolday at 7.5 f. 50c.; sad
closed at 74 f.; 80c.

than an affair of posts. So far from the Anstrinc.

all the evidence they retendcd to she's is, one Ceptsis,

one picec of cannon and teen raiesons taken! ! which
it ir. probable had been so disabled in the action as
to be incapable of removal.
The receipt of this intelligence at a period so slis.
cant as this from the time of the occurrences, deg
not tend to diminish the credibility of the report that
an affair more serious and more favourable to the
Neapolitan., as originally mated, took place no the
9th. The contest, however, is not of a nature to he de-
cided by one victory or one defeat ; nor is it sot per.
haps the interest either of the Neapolitans themselves,
or of Europe, that this should be the case. If the
state of Germany dues not of itself put au esd to tie
contest, we have the strongest reasons to believe llut
Italy is ill become the theatre of a war scarcely less
bloody than that of Spain. Letters of a very remit
date are now before us relative to the late iraosactiuss
in Piedmont, and on the state of popular feeling is
Lombardy. These concur in describing the Wed
against Austria u tot confined to the Caeloosari, betty
pervade alike the Italian Prince', nobility, and wieldhag
classes of society. We can also positively anltt eir
readers that, although the Pirdniontese army la
lung burned to be exposed to the invaders, it only
obeyed the impulse given by its Chiefs, to declare for
the Con,:itutiunal system and liberation of Italy. The
party which have supported Prince Con 16:vaxo as&
removed his father frosts a throne, be conld no los,
ger hil fur the benefit of his people, is of the wog
formidable description, including whatever of tiled
and virtue there was left at the Court of Turin. Pe
have also good ground for believing, that a branch of
the Royal Family in a neighbouring country, has en-
couraged the young Sovereign of SAIRDINI A to become
the real interpreter of his peoples' wishes.
There is no doubt entertained at Paris, but that a
large portion of the army has been put in motion to
march towards Milan, and that ether military prepara•
times are spots a very large scale. It is extreme!),
fortunate that the Treasury of Piedmont slanihi be
one of the best provided in Europe. Victor EVA-
NCIL was a provident if not a liberal Prince, so
while the modern Goths hare no other nil a, s of sup-
porting the war except by rubbery and plunder, the
troops of his Sardinian 51aJraTY go into the ticid
on the resources of their own I;ol.m:tient.
