We have had various rumors i'm circula-
ton to-day, which, whether true or false,
hive had the effect TO cause "a considera-
bic depression III the funds. 1t was re-
ported, that secret correspondence lad
been intercepted bet,ceen tie Court Of Vienna
and Bonaparte, and that the Austrian
Commissioner had been detected in an
intrigue for Bonapartes release the ru-
NOR of Il dissolution of Parliament was al
so revived. We have no reason To believe
in the truth of either of the reports. ----
Lastly, there was another report in circu-
lation, which was considered much more
feasible than the rest-iamely, that the
prospect of the speedy opening of oiu
ports for the importation of corn having
caused a fall in the rate of exchange, the
foreigners, who had been waiting TN op-
portunity 10 sell, awaited themselves of
this circumstance, and disposed of their
stock accordingly. What is TO be depen-
ded on is, that a foreign broker, sup
posed to be III possession Of some infor-
nation, threw upon tie market some hun
dred thousands Of stock, which caused
the depression we have no:iced-3 per
cent. Consois for The account, fell from
G29 to Gig, and for money 624 to 6l5 -
They recovered towards the close of the
market, and left off at GIG for account,
and 6l4 for money.
I'll the letters received today from
MertlIyrTydvill, of the 22d inst. state
that the rietcrs continue quiet, but that
the military daily increase III numbers
in consequence of disposition to rict at

now being IN possession of the place, all
approximations for the safety OF the arms
have ceased. One class ofihe workmen,

Hers and miners, the persons who are
paid the lowest wages, are still retracto-

The French newspapers tell the world
that trade goes on prosperously, (says
private letter from Paris and that the
harvest has been tolerably good This is
too gross. The French are indignant at
such mockery OF their actual condition.
The fact Is, that the bad weather has al
ready set IN, and with it, symptoms Of
famine. The necessity of having fires,
materially affects the means of the lowest
orders, from the high price of fuel. They
are actually in desperate state already.
The day before yesterday, the bakers
whole stock of bread in one quarter of
Paris, had been exhausted by nine o.
clock; there were still multiindes who
bad not obtained none for their bre ailfast.
The bakers told the people that they
could not obtain -four The populace
became ciamorous, and il was found ne
cessary TO calm several Commssaries of
the Police, attended by gems d'armes ia
order TO diSperse them. The want of
employment presses upon the poor. No
thing but the utmost vigouT and wisdom
can carry the government through this
trying season. 1t will be no easy task to
manage the populace of Paris, stimulated
by famine and refractory Chamber
