ONE WEEK LATER FROM
EUROPE.

ENGLAND.
Trade has been quiet but considerably i'm
proved during tho week now closed. The
produce markets have presented n tranquil
appearance, and both in London and Liver
pool, holders have manifested n greater de-
sire to sell. The increase in supply of sew
cral articles has been to II somewhat larger
extent. Cotton is in good demand, and the
market for brcndstufls is steady. The iron
trade is iH n lnuguid position. From the
manufacturing districts tho reports nre still
duh, but they exhibit more activity than
has prevailed for some time pnst. Money
can still be obtained at Il low rate of interest,
and from the large imports Of specie which
are coming forward, the settlement of affairs
in France, and The prospect Of an abundant
and scnsonablc harvest, we my expect ere
long that trade and commerce will resume
their usual alucrity.
FRANCE.
On the 9th ult., as some National Guards
were searching house in the rue du iau-

More that 100000 muskets have already
been returned to the Arsenas of the State.

them, in the late Instruction, is continued
with great activity.
In the best formed quarters, the general
opinion prevails that the real chierof The late
instruction was Caussidierc. 1t is said that
things were known to Louis Blanc. but
that he shrunk from any active share. The
evidence already obtained by the Committee
