| LONDON, June 10.
Six expresses arrived yesterday, from Paris, will
news of decline of nearly per cent in the French
Stocks. the last quotation being at &c. 80. The cir
cumstance caused considerable panic here bu
the real cause may be attributed TO the new loan

which, with the large demand tor fresh troops
staggers the belief OF many, that the speed
lily to be brought to close. The French have
been anxious to get possession OF the person Of the
King OF Spain, and it appears that large division
has been sent of to Madrid to seize upon bis per-
son. A private letter from Paris however, asserts
that the government are alarmed at the consequent
ces that may result from this attempt, and have
sent of telegraphlc despatch to countermand the
movement.
