Cotton The demand for cotton for
immediate shipping has been considerable

been occasioned by new duties being ;.!jiiuitt
to be .cvled on the import into France, the
merchants Aave been in consequence anx-
icus to maze immediate shipments. The
sales will nearly amount to 1000 pao kag s,
viz. $50 Pernambuco at IS. 3d. 203 Ceara

tensive business would have been effected

in the market.

The Paris papers of Sunday, Monday,
and Tuesday, which were due yesterday,
have reached US. The principal articles
which we have eagerly and naturally look
ed for, are those relative to the are st and
Imprisonment Of our countiymen Sir Ro-
bert Wilson, Captain Hutchinson and Mr..
Bruce Upon this We y interesting subject
we have, however. merely the fact, with
n very bare statement OF the causes Of their
disgrace. They are accused of having gi-

his escape from the kingdcm. They arc

the Dukc f Wellington to exert his influ~

We do not, however, entertain a doubt,
that should they be found guilty, they will
expetien from his NJ ] sly Louis XVIII
the full benefit Of his prercgatve of Gle
mency and pardon. Tney will not so ca
silly succeed in effacing the disgrace which
must attach 10 their names, and in re-es-
Publishing themselves in the good opinion
of their country, whoss proverbial honour
and probity have been so essentially injur-

We believe we may at length announce,
that matrimonial arrangement has actu-
ally taken pla, C, in behalf of the presunp-
tive Heiress Of the British Throne, Oh the
one part-and Prince Of the House of
SAKE Cobourg OH the other. The proba-

less general surprise. 1t IS the third son
Of the reigaing Duke who is to r. ceiVe,
