From the Times City Article
MONDAY EvENING.-The English funds opened
this morning with a slight tendency to improve
ment, which wholly dissipated by the Paris let
ter in the second edition OF The Times. Consols
were first quoted at 964 and advanced to 99A to
A. at which they remained till noon, when the cor
roboraton regarding the menacing and impatient
manner of the remark addressed by the Emperor
Napoleon to the Austrian Minister at the usual le-
wee on New Years day, caused an instantaneous
fall of three-eighths per cent Accounts of still
more serious decline on the Paris Bourse increased
the adverse feeling, and the market closed heavily
at 963s to x. Considering the infammable state
of Italy, and the consequent care required from
every continental ruler DESTROYS of preventing an
instruction, which would involve Europe in war,
the present demonstration has excited extraordinary
comment, and capitalists, Notwithstanding the
phrase that the empire is Peace" are disposed
more than ever to question whether peace that is
attended every three months by some manifestation
that puts all heighborng nations the defensive,
is not almost as bad as actual hostiities.
Foreign stocks were steady during the day, but
late in the afternoon there was less trmness. Sar-
dinian was especially prejudiced by the disposition
exhibited by France to promote popular out
break in Italy.
There has been panic on the Paris Bourse TODAY,
accompanied by fall of more than one per cent.
from which there was only fractional recovery at
the close the final quotation being 75f &C.. about
q per cent lower than that of Saturday.
statement from the Committee of Mexican
bondholders repeats the general expressions of sur
prise at the manner in which the Derby Cabinet
have apparently sought to escape trouble by neg
lecng the vast personal and pecuniary interests of
Englishmen in Mexico. 1t is actually stated that
while America, France and Spain are using the
most decided means to protect the lives and rights
of their citizens and objects to the extent of block
aiding ports and seiZing territory the British Gov
eminent have countermanded even gunboat that
was sent to Tampico. Hence it seems that al
though British merchants are every now and
then sentenced by one or other of the contend
ing factions to supply certain amount of dol
lars on pain of being shot or marched off to fight
in the ranks there is not single English vessel on
the coast.
FRANCE.
The usual levee was held at the Tuileries on
New Years day. The diplomatic corps and all
the great functionaries in attendance, and
during the presentations an event occurred which
occasioned quite a panic on the Paris Bourse,
and heavy fall in the funds at London and else
where.
The Paris correspondent of the London Times,
writing on the evening of the 1st instant, says:
81 have just heard that during the evee to day
the Emperor told the Austrian Minister, Hubner,
that he regretted their relations were so bad, but
that hs"personal sentiments for the Emperor OF
Austria were the same as ever. | may add that a
rumor circulates but for the truth of which | do
not vouch) that Marshal Valiant, Minister of w ar
went up subsequently to Hubner, and said to him
suppose must not give youmy hand after that "
The same correspondent, writing on the follow
ing day, says
1.-THE few words addressed by the Emperor to
NJ. Hubner, the Austrian Minister, during the re-
ception of yesterday, and which communicated in
postscript, are, find, literally correct They
were spoken with more emphatic tone of voice
and animated gesture than the Emperor generally
employs, and reminded some of the listeners of q
scene between the First Consul and the English Am
bassador OF that day. previous to the rupture of the
treaty of Amiens. They are commented upon in
various ways in all circles where politics are the
the topic, and learn that in the higher financial
regions where they are known, they have produced
an effect which it is difficult to exaggerate.
al will not indulge in speculation as to what they
portend 1t is well known that the Emperor keeps
the greatest guard himself, and never allows
an unguarded expression to reveal his thoughts:
but it is certain that this occasion he betray ed
an excitement which could not pass unnotced by
the diplomatic corps If the Bourse were open
to-day, have no doubt that the effect would be
severely felt. l think it right to add few words
OF explanation On so unusual an occurrence. For
the last two or three months negotiations have been
going between Austria and France on the subject
OF Italy. The Emperor expresses himself very
anxious that reforms should be introduced there
and particularly in the Roman States. The Aus
trian government has been urged to use its infu
ence with the Pope and the King of Naples for tina,
purpose, and the Emperor Napoleon has, / am as
sured, agreed to the withdrawal of the French
troops from Rome, on condition that the Austrian.
should also evacuate the places they hold. Or
both these points the greatest opposition is me-
from Austria; though it is a fact beyond disput,
that the Italians are more disconnected that evel
with their rulers, inflamed than ever will
hatred against AUSTRIA which no merits of he
representative or her generals will ever mitigate
and ready ever to rise against those they lool
upon as their tyrants.
"WhateVer be the real motives of the Empero
Napoleon-whether he finds that the continued oc
cupation of Rome exposes him to odium the par
OF the Italians, or from whatever other vews-he
is fully aware of this exasperated feeling, and of thu
consequences which may follow; and which perhap
he would wish to prevent In the midst of all th
comes the Servian complication, and the probabili
ty of an Austrian occupation there also. This, il
appears, the Emperor Napoleon most decidedly sets
his face against. He will listen to no occupation
except joint one, of Servia, and under the au
thority Of the Powers who signed the treaty of Par
Is. We have every day new accounts of the effer
vescence that prevails in Italy, and the sympathy
which Sardinia shows to the discontinued, as wei
az OF what is passing in Servia. All this has pro
duced its effect on the Emperor's mind; and thus
notwithstanding his habitual reserve, he could no
but show it Yesterday, when the representative o
Austria stood before him. This, | think, you will
find pretty nearly the true state of the case. TIL
feeling against Austria is very bitter, and canno
say it is understood. Whether it will go to thu
length which all seem to apprehend, cannot say
