Of the negotiations The arrival of Baron Seebach,
which had taken place two days previously had oeen
followed Il il said, by great stir at the palace, after
which the counting house of VI. Stiegitz, the Court
banker was thronged with high military personages;
who were buying up the loan and other funds ana
stocks with much eagemess. On Change, It's added,
nothing was talked of but the chances of peace and
many OF those who had been among the most despond-
| ent had become quite sanguine. Al the same time
story was in circulation that an old ukase OF the Em-
| press Catherine had been discovered, proposing to
| make the Black Sea a commercial one. and that IN
consequence limitation may be aeceded 10 without
acting in opposition 10 her views. FINALLY u Il re-
| marked, I've have not had such state of excite
ment for long time, particularly a. last week was
reported that the propositions made oy the Austrian
| ambassador were inadnissible.
The Paris letters describe continued hrnness IN the
rate of exchange consequent upon the demand Tor DIS
on London to pay for the recent large purchase OF
MEXICAN silver for the Bank of France. The traBsac-
tons on the Bourse limited, owing TO the principal
banking firms being unwilling 10 operate during the

| The Ners OF Friday, 18th, says:
1.-THE English funds showed renewed heaviness this
morning. pending the deliberations OF the weekly board
at the Bank; but the market subsequently became
frmer in character assisted by the announcement that
the directors had separated without making any
change in the rate of discount. Rumors that Russia
although rejecting the Austrian proposals for peace
NAV perhaps put forward counter propositions, also
stimulated the recovery. Prices finally closed at the
best point of the day. and fully cent higher than
Yesterday After so heavy fall as that recently wit
messed, partial rally is usually observed. The I'M
proved aspect of the market this afternoon was IN
great measure attributable TO purchases by parties
who lad previously effected speculative sales. The
| balance of opinion, it Is evident, points strongly to
a continuance of the war; and thus the late reduction
| in the price of Consos may be regarded as partly
caused by preparations for the reception of the an
ticpated Government loan. Meanwhile the immediate
necessities of the Treasury met by the proceeds OF
continued sales of stock, which are effected either
| b,,. ba or through
of the Bank of England. In either case the result s
much the same. If Government sell Sayings-Bank
stock they must replace it with other national secur-
ties and the general effect of the operation varies
little from that which would attend new loan al
though the announcement of the latter may by these
| meaI be temporarily postponed. Ii Is computed that
upward of million of stock has already been thrown
upon the market from this source In some quarters
tits insinuated that the unwlingness OF the Bank
Directors to throw any obstacles in the way OF these
reaizatons may induce them to hesitate IN raising
| their rates of discount. The Money market to-day
was certainly easier-a more liberal supply being ln-
| duced by the release Of the dividends. We may
repeat, however, that an untavorabe anticipation
prevails regards the next two or three returns OF
the Bank.
"Ofthe specie freight of the steamer Tyne the ar
rival of which was lately reported, no less than
2,726,3l3, or about t545,2OO was IN dollars. Inc
bulk of this large supply we learn has been purchased
for account of the Bank of France This fact fur
nhes additional evidence of the continued severity of
the drain upon the stock of specie held by that estao
ECO OOO has also been absorbed by the Continental
demand. Any fresh imports of the precious metal
that may reach this country are expected 10 De ksn
for the quarter. During the continuance OF the
present easterly winds, however, no Australian am
walls will probably take place
