The commercial letters from Holland are not

Dutch funds had fallen about one per cent. The
only hope seems to be that the Congress at Brus-
sells will become so unpopular as to be put down
by force.
In the foreign funds little has occurred to day
worth notice. Danish and Russian stock MAIN
tain former prices.
We have received letter from our correspond

that more formidable invasion was feared by the

into that country. In consequence OF this, the
province of CATALONIA has recently been perem-

other provinces of Spain 10000 The fortihca-
tons of Barcelona were under active repair.

18th instant. Among them is long report OF an
officer denouncing conspiracy OF the saPPers, TO
overthrow the government, and an account OF the
arrest of some of the persons said to have been
engaged in it; but the whole affair seems to have
been of very little Importance. Active Prepara-
tons were making for the opening OF the Diet

SwIrzERLAxD.-The news from the Basic pre-
sents lively interest. Private letters announce
that it was expected, on the 10th ut. that an at
tack would be made by the peasantry against the

country "a. The Grand Council have made the
offer of 20 to the country; the city will then
count no more than Is. The peasantry were sat
