BALTIMORE, MARCH IL, 1928.
The Packet ship Robert Fulton. which
sailed in company with the Be!videra
from Liverpool. arrived at New York
on The Sth inst. BY this vessel Liver
pool papers to the Gath January and
London TO the 22d have been received,
from which, and others received we
have made the following extracts.
On the 9th January the official notes transmit
ted to the Charges d'Affares of Austria, Prussia
and Russia, at Madrid, were delivered to the
Spanish Government, and on the 9th presented
to the Cortes. The general tenor Of the notes
was similar to the declaration of the Allied
Sovereigns. but not quite in so naughty strain.
The Russian note is the most walke. They
appear to have caused in the Spanish capital,
an enthusiastic and unanimous feeling OF patri-
otto indepence. The reply to the French note
is bold and determined, and SO far from conced-
ing to France the alternative offered by NJ. de
Villele, actually demands concessions on the
part Of France; these relate to the dissolution of
the army Of the Pyrenees, the repulse of the
factious enemies Of Spain, who take refuge in
France, and an energetic opposition against all
those, who shamefully defame the institutions
of Spain and her Cortes To the Cabinets OF
St. Petersburg, Vienna and Berline, no direct
reply is made, but circular dispatch has been
framed, addressed to their Ministers at the
Cortes. 1t contains seven declarations which
shew plainly enough, that no spirit OF compro-
mise at present actuates the Spanish govern
nent.
LoNDoE, January %.
A government messenger had arrived in Lon
don with adyices from Madrid to the 18th. The
Russian, Austrian, and Prussian Ambassado had
receive d their pas ports and were on the point
ofleaving Madrid The Paris papers say they
left it on the next day.
The latest express from Paris was Of so war
like nature that If produced great effect on
the French and Spanish funds. The first ex.
press announce that the Rentes had closed at
four O'clock, at 83 50; and Spanish bonds had
fallen rapidly to Al. An immense quantity of
business was done, and the markets not
over until late in the evening; at the conclusion
the Rentes had been further depressed to 6275.
and Spanish bonds had sunk to Ala. Upt the
latest moment the holders fboth were endea-
voring to sell with the greatest rapidly.
1t is said that the Ambassadors of the Holy
Alliance. received along with their passports
hint that it was not expected that they would re-
main in Madrid beyond 4S hours This, most
probably, had refe renee to their personal safety
from an indignant populaoe.
VERY Notwithstanding its remarks on do
cuments of later date that those alluded to
in our postscript, the London Courier says.
"England, it seems, is pledged to support
Portugal, in cases of attack yet. Portugal is
about TO form an alliance, offensive and defen-
sive, with Spain and France. In that case, the
cause of Spain will become the common cause
of the Peninsula aud if so, will an attack upon
one country be construed by our government
into such a danger, affecting Portugal, as
will call upon tito redeem its pledge of assis-
lance and protection"
LONDON, Jan. %, evening
THE FUNDs-Stock Exchange, half past II.
Tie greatest hustle and confusion prevailed in
the market this morning, owing to the arrival
expresses from Paris, in consequence of which
Spanish bonds opened at 454, and Consoil at
II l-8. Business to very great extent was
done in the early part OF the morning. but
owing to report that the French Minister was
not going to leave Madrid as soon as was ex-
pected by the Paris accounts OF yesterday, and
the policy on our part towards Portugal, the
Spanish Bonds rose again to AZ 464 464, and
Consols to 774 50
