STOCK EXCHANGE, HALF PAAT H.—Consols opened
this morning at 76U, at which price they remain. All
parties are anxiously waiting for His Majesty's Speech;

We have received this morning Dutch and Hamburg
Papers, of which the following are extracts:—

FROM THE FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, JAN: 4.

The fugitive Bojars have just received orders from the
Austrian Government to depart from the Austrian domi.
nions within eight days. Their consternation at this
order is not to be described. Most of them are men in
years, and in ill health, hardly able to travel in this sea.
son of the year. It is supposed that a similar order
will be issued in Russia, and that they will no longer
find an asylum there. They cannot go back to Mat.
drain, Wallachia, and Moldavia; for it seems hardly
doubtful that if they were to venture, the Serashier of
Sitistria, who commands in the principalities, will dr.
manal their heads, and send them to Constantinople.
This order has, doubtless, been given, becanse they
will not submit to the new order of things, and cone.'
der the Ilospodar as no more than a prisoner to the Sr.
riskier.

COPgNIIAMIN, JAN. 21.—The Crest Belt is covered
with ice, so that the intercourse by means of yachts Las
ceased, and is carried on by means of ice hosts. The
number of ships that passed the Sound last year was
8403, of which 310-1 were English, 703 Danish, 1929
Swedish, 153 Russian, 391 Dutch, 307 Hanoverian',
1093 Prussian. 298 Mecklenburgh, 21 Hamburg'', &c.

day contains the official Proclamation of the Diet with

The Minister of State, Count Von Engerstrom, in a
circular to all the Governors of provinces, has enjoined
for urgent reasons, and by his Majesty's express corn
mend, strictly to observe the Royal Ordinance of Feb.
19, 1811, respecting foreign travellers, with the moditi•
cations since prescribed, and to take the greatest care
that no foreigner (with the exception of the Russian,
English, Hanoverian, French, American, and Prussian
couriers and subjects) shall come into the kingdom
without having asked his Majesty's gracious permission,
for which he is to apply to the Minister. and to wait on-
the frontier for the answer. Travellers, o• the other
hand, from thosenations, may travel from one pan of
the kingdom_to another, provided they only exhibit a
passport from ore of the Ministerial departments, Le-
gations, Diplomatic Agents, or Consuls.

Paris papers to the 2d inst. have attired, of ;TWA fed
have given, at knob, in another column, the contests
we deemed of greater interest. From the extracts we
have inserted respecting the Chamber 0 Deputies, the
opening promises some warm debates as the Session
proceeds. All parties in France cannot fail, at present,
to be strongly excited ; and the Government appears ex-
tremely active in preparations for war. More than a
dozen paragraphs we hare omitted to insert which,
relate to the movements of different parts of tbe.
—The Ultras here as well as there represent, the soldiery
as boisterously gay and full of spirite"s if rospowig to so
easy victory. An article in the .ftittrnerl des Debora, states
the amount of all the Spanish troops to guard the Pyre-
nees and the whole Peninsula, including the army
of Mina, to be no more than twenty three tboesand i
fantry, and live or six regiments of cavalry. This state-
ment, it is alleged, accounts for the facility with which
the Royalist guerillas advance towards the capital. The

to notice further, attempts to justify the impending in-
vasion of Spain, by a narrative it gives of the political
occurrences which have led to the present (condition of
that country. The rest of the Paris Dews is quite in the
Parisian style. The Quotidienne not only admits that
the Doke of San Lorenzo was present last week at the
fete given by Sir Charles Stuart, but states that the
French Minister for Foreign Affairs (Vicomte Chateau-
briand) who was els') invited, treated him with as much
attention as our Ambassador. Thns far the matter may
