The Earl of Ellenborough ht the subject before the Lords by moving for the luc- tion of a letter written in 1829, by the directors of the East India Company to the Governor-General, giving instructions as to the line of operations to be —- in any future war with Ava. The noble lord then commented on the line of operations pur- sued in the present war, which had been anything but suc or satisfactory, and wished to know what view Cars government took of the affairs in Ava, especially with reference to the proclamation for the annexation of Pegu, though the responsibility of that step must be laid at the door of the late government. In reply, the Earl of Aberdeen said he had no objection to produce the let- ter in question, though a despatch written twenty- five years ago, on such a subject, could scarcely be considered as anything else than an historical curiosity. With respect to the conduct of the Fre. sent war, the government could not boast of that poree of military criticism professed by Lord Ellen- rough, and therefore were unfortunately unable to pass judgment on the operations now being carried onin Ava. They had, however, the greatest confi- dence and reliance in the discretion of the Governor General, and, as he had expressed himself satisfied with the progress of the war, and had determined egu after mature deliberation, the govern- ment were disposed to acquiesce in the opinion ex- ments have evinced a marked Heat towards Turkey; | t! and both Austria and Russia havs ased the late disturb. ances in the Sultan’s dominions to seize advantages at the expense of their neighbors—to extend their territories and political influence The present state of the Eastern question | menacing.

(From the London Times, Feb. 25 ] The commercial treaty between Austria and Prussia which was signed at Berlin on the evening of the 19th inst., is unquestionably the most important measure for the welfare and union of the Germanic Confederation which has been carried into effect since 1815. It is, in fact, the realization in a different form of the engage. ment contained in the 19th article of the Federal Com pact as to the future relations of commerce iga- tion to be established by the confederate States through. out the territory of Germany, with the essential addition that Austria now extends to Germany the advantages of eommercial intercourse on more liberal terms with the whole of her dominions. The announcement of the ex- change of ratifications not having yet been received, the text of the treaty has not been communicated to the p | subj the | the notice of Lord John Russell, who moved that | the | and privileges of British subjects as were at present | Catholic suffered under religious disabilities, felt it Me; but, as it is known that before M. de Bruck gave his | definite signature he had referred to Vieuna for express instructions on the only uncertain point, no doubt exists as to the prompt and complete settlement of the question. As far as we are acquainted with the terms of this im portant convention, it leaves each party at liberty to | regulate its own commercial tariif, subject to certain general principles of a liberal clisracter. Thus Austria renounces all prohibitory duties, except on the pe articles of salt, tobacco, gunpowder, and playing cards which are government monopolies. The trade in,raw materials, &., as defined inthe first sehedule of the treaty, is free. All export duties on the produee of one State sold to the other are abolished. Navigation dues are equalized between the ships and ports of bot): tries, The consular agents of both countries are to pi the common interests of both. Transit dues are aboli«! andLccess to the rivers, canals, and railroads of bot Pro parties is mutually conceded on the same terms. vision is made for the introduction of a unif. system. The present treaty is concluded fi twelve years, andat a suitable time commissioners ar consider the propriety of effecting a more intimate com- mercia] union. Meantime the commercial adherents of Prussia in Germany sre invited t> accede to the treaty as well as che commercial adberents of Austria in Italy, in eluding, consequently, the principalities of Parma, Mo. dena. and Tuscany. (On the other hand. as the essential object of the Darmstadt league of minor States was to ob. the certainty of closer commercial relations with Austria before they closed again with the conditions of ‘the Prussian Zollverein, the eae purpose of that se parate combination is secured, and it is probable that no farther difficulties of moment will prevent the reconstitu ‘tion of the Zollverein. Even Hanover is not indispoxed to joim the new compact, and it is desirable that the North ern States should throw into the scale their influence, favorable as it is to low import duties and foreign trade. ‘The result of this treaty will, therefore, probably be to vemove commercial restrictions, national barriers, and fiseal taxes over a very large portion of Central Europe. extending from the Elbe to the Arno, and from Aix la Chapelle to Belgrade; and thus to bring into easier and freer intercouse no less than seventy millions of the most civilized and industrious inhabitants of the globe. With much to deplore, as we think, in the present political aspect of the continent, it is insome degree a compensa- tion for the severe discipline of authority to find that the governments of the present day are actuated by enlarged ‘and progressive views of the material condition and com mercial relations of their subjects; and the power they exercise, sometimes to excess, is at least usefully direct | recent loss of the Victoria, Liverpool and Dublin | tish court. pressed by the late government, and in the eulogies assed by it on the Governor General.

In the Commons, on the 24th, the Chancellor of the Exchequer explained, according to promise, the intentions of the Government with respect to the mixture of chicory with coffee. The Government had come to the decision, “‘ That the public interests would be best consuited by allowing chicory to be sold in a state of mixture with coffee, provided it was so described in labels attached thereto.” The | ect of Jewish disabilities was then taken up, on the house go into Committee to consider certain civil disabilities affecting the Jews.

Mr. Napier thought Jews were as bad as atheists. Mr. O'Connell, having himself as a Roman his duty to lift up his voice in behalf of another class equally persecuted. At this stage of the proceedings, the calls of “divide” became so incessant that farther debate was cut short, and the motion was carried by a yote of 234 against 205. The Maynooth matter was further set down, for Wednesday, 2d inst. The Earl of Clarendon held a diplomatic levee on 283d, for reception of the foreign ministers at the Bri- Mir.

Prussia, on the other hand, gains a vast exten- sion of her means of communication ‘and her consumers. Germany and Italy are opened to her by the Austrian syriem of railroads to the Adriatic, and the Yast by the Danube; while the acceptance of the primary conditions insisted upon by the minor States—namely, the conclu sion of a treaty with Austria tefore the Zollverein treaties were renewed—enables her to reconstruct, on a more extended basis, that great work of her policy. Until we have before us the schedule of duties annexed to this treaty, we cannot determine the exact effect of this important change upon British commercial relations with Germany, but we are assured by competent authority that ‘this treaty is not either in principle or in practice preju dicial to the mercantile interests of this country. It would, indeed, be preposterous to suppose that a commercia’ m which embraces so great an extent of territory with such diversity of interests, and which ix meant to remove many of the obstacles to commerce heretofore rabeiosing between adjacent countries, could be cemented by probibitive duties, or held together by a purely pro- Nae? =p We feel, on the contrary, the more certain that impulse freedom and towards commerci: extended intercourse with foreign nations, given by the example of this country and of the Unite!

It has been remarked that truth occasionally brings out in bold relief circumstances which appear much more unlikely to happen than the wildest dreams of fiction ever con cat Tn illustration of the justness of this observation may be instanced the wonderful career of Louis Napoleon, from the time when Louis Philippe was so unceremoniously dispossessed of his throvie,to the present moment—from the time when he was almost a penniless wanderer in London, till now, when he is the uncontrolled master of the lives and fortunes of millions of human beings, not of half- barbarians, but of one of the most civilized nations on the face of the earth. Some circumstances which have come under our notice, connected with the per- sonal history of his new Empress, are nearly as extra- ordinary as his own. Ne a ee! back a highly respectable gentle- man, William Kirkpatrick, first cousin to the late Sir James Kirkpatrick, Baronet, of Closeburn, was pro-, metor of the estate of Conheath, in the parish of ‘aerlaverock, where he resided. The estate had originally been one of the numerous possessions of the Closeburn family, of which he was a cadet, but had passed out of their hands, and as parohibee) by Mr. she ese grandfather. He a very large family, the only remaining member of which is Miss Kirkpatrick, who resides at Nithbank, in the vicinit) of Dumfries. Mrs. Proudfoot, of Cragieburn, near Mof- | fat, also belongs to the same family, her mother having | been sister to Miss Kirkpatrick. One of his sons, also a William Kirkpatrick, settled as a merchant in Malaga, and remained there till his death, a period of upwards of twenty-five years, during a conside- rable portion of which time he held the office of American Consul there. He married the eldest daughter of Baron Griveguie, by whom he had one son and three eye The son died early.. The daughters all ried, the youngest to a cousin of her own, and is since dead. The other two married Spanish noblemen. One still resides with her family in Malaga ; the other is the Countess de Montijo, ae mother of Napoleon’s empress, lately Countess eba. Thus the great-grand-daughter of the proprietor of a small estate in Dumfreisshire now occupies the throne cf I'rance. that she has attained such an exalted position in this world, will show, by the prudence of her conduct, and the beneficial influence she may have it in her power to exercise over her husband, that it may be £0 spre te as to tend towards the preservation of peace in Enrope, and to justice and moderation to- wards the people of France; and by so doing show that she has pot forgotten the motto of her father's femily—‘/ nfck siccar.”’ Indeed, if the accounts are correct of what occurred previous to the marriage, she has already shown that she has not forgotten the’ family motto. The seat is a precarious one, and it is ofly by the most careful axd judicious conduct on the part of both herself and husband, that the throne can be placed on anything likesecurity. The origin of the once powerful family of Closeburn, of which, as we have shown, the Empress of France is a lineal descendant, is lost in antiquity. They possessed many extensive estates in this country at a very early period, and were proprietors of Closeburn from the twelfth centui Monteath. ~ In the parish of Closeburn there vgs formerly a chapel dedicated to St. Patrick, and its site gave name to the farm of Kirkpatrick. From this place the Kirkpat- ricks assumed their surname in the thirteenth cen- tury. The circumstance of Kirkpatrick assisting Robert Bruce to slayCumyn in the Greyfriars church, Dumfries, on the 10th of February, 1305, is well known, and it was from this that the family took the crest and motto which they still bear. Roger Kirk- patrick, in 1355, Wer) peer enough to expel the les of Dalswinton and Caerla- verock. He got a grant for the latter, and resided in the castle till he was murdered by Sir James Lindsay, in the year 1357. The circumstances of this murder are remarkable, | and form the subject of a fine ballad by the late Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe. Lindsay and Kirk- patrick were suitors for the hand of the same lady; guest at the castle of Caerlaverock. In the dead of night Lindsay stole up to the bridal chamber and stabbed his successful rival to the heart and escaped on horseback. When the deed was discovered the men-at-arms went off in pursuit. A storm had arisen, and Lindsay, confused, had ridden round, in place of away from the castle. He was taken and executed at the castle gate. The barony was af- laxwells. The ndfa- ther of the Sir James Kirkpatrick already men- tioned was offered a je by the government cf the day, which he refused, giving as a reason that he would rather be at the head of the gentry-than | at the tail of the lords. The present head of the family, and possessor of the ancient title, is Sir Charles Kirkpatrick, Baronet, residing in London, whose father, Sir Thomas Kirkpatrick, Bart, was for many years the beloved and venerated Sheriff of Dumfriesshire. The narrative concluded with the following curi- ous revelations: — It is not a little remarkable that this is not the first occasion on which a family from the south of Scotland has furnished a bride to the Bonapartes. Jerome Bonaparte, the only surviving brother of the great Napoleon, and who now lives in Paris, sharing so far in the fortunes of his nephew, married, in the United States, a Miss Paterson, who was a grand- daughter of one Robert Paterson, better known in | Scotland, and indeed over the world, as ‘ Old Mor- | tality.” “Old fester by some accounts, was a native of the parish Closeburn, Dumfriesshire, though according to others, the ih of Hawick claims to be his piace. At all events, he settled, before commencing his world-known wanderings, Pet the tombstones of the Covenanters, in Morton, the adjoining parish to Closeburn, and mar- ried one Elizabeth Gray, who was for a considerable time a cook-maid in the family of the Kirkpatricks of Closeburn. Old Mortality’s wife, with her chil- dren settled in Balmaclellan, Kirkcndbrightehire, and the third son, John, emigrated to America in 1776, and established himself at Baltimore. Jerome Bonaparte married his daughter. Truly trath is stranger than fiction. INTRODUCTION OF THE EMPRESS TO THE TROOPS. In the London Court Journal of Saturday, the 12th ult., we find the following description of the animated scene that took place at Versailles on the 6th: — “On Sunday, it became known to thoze who never fail to run after Srey, species of excitement, that the Emperor was about to exhibit the fine ri ments stationed at Versailles to her Imperial jesty; in a short time the railway carriages upon that road were eagerly sought and rapidly filled, not- withstanding the day was cold and oy On the arrival of the influx, it was soon that there was not likely to bea disappointment; for the carabineers, | the dragoons, and some infantry regiments were | drawn up in front of the palace.

She looked re well, and more color in her cheeks than when seen on the day of her marriage. She is evidently an accom- plished horsewoman, and Lert fearless. The milit ap) d much pleased with her, and cries of “ Vive I'Imperatrice” were frequently heard as they 7 gallonped along. ~ After this sort of presentation the Emperor and Empress stationed themselves near the palace, an@the troops defiled before them in fine order, each regiment, as it passed, saluting them. Accustomed as the people are to see this sort of dis- play, they were more than usually delighted with the ctacle of the day, for such an irable opporta- ity was afforded of seeing their new sovereign, whose manners and appearancesighly pre; id them in her favor. Her Majesty seemed equally pleased with the reception that she met with, and very graciously bowed in return for the numerous expressions of respect which were heard on all sides. When the review was finished, the Emperor and Em- press went into the chateaw; and on hearing the loud shouts which seemed to invite their presence, they sppemred on the palcony, where Cod were saluted by cheers, by waving of handkerchiefs, and by the va- rious shouts which are heard when a number of me oA assembled Aa) do es So ethers gn. ine ap vared offremarkably well, and as soon as the ious individuals who apie an éclat to ‘the day had retired from the public gaze, the Pari- sians prepared to enjoy the feasts which had been hastily got up by the restaurateurs, or promenaded for some time in the gardens, which looked, however, in their least attractive winter’s garb, and then re- turned to their gay city to tell their friends how hap- yy a day the: spent, and how pleased they had n by the beauty, the grace, andthe amiability of their young sovereign.

THE KING’S RECOVERY AND GENBRAL REJOICINGS. The 9th ult. was observed at Stockholm as a day of rejoicing for the King’s recovery. Banquets were given by the ministers, and in the evening there was a general illumination. Hanover. A telegraphic despatch from Hanover, in the Inde- pendance Belye, says: “The official Gazette publishes a royal ordinance, put- ting in foree, from the Ist of March next, the increased duties stipulated in the Prusso Hanoverian treaty of Sept. 8, 1850. At the same time the free port of Har- bourg is suppressed, and retroactive duties will be levied Fo) aoe ise introduced at the duty in force on the 2ith Feb.” Prussia. ” UNFOUNDED RUMOR OF AN ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE KING—DEATH OF THE EX-SOVEREIGN OF REUSS —FREE TRADE IN ENGLISH PLATE IRON. A rumor, scarcely amounting to an assertion, had found its way into circulation, that an attempt had been made on the lifeof the King at Berlin. Ad- vices' proved the rumor to be wholly unfounded. Prince Henry Reuss, ex-sovereign of Reuss, Loben- stein Ebersdorf, Germany, died on the 17th, at Dres- den. He abdicated the cares of government in 1848. English plate iron, for ship building, is to be ad- mitted, for one year, free of duty, into the Baltic ports, the object being to encourage the building of iron steamships at Stettin and Dantzic. Austria, PARTICULARS OF THE ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE EMPEROR—EXCITEMENT AT PESTH. Vienna letters are still full of the recent attempt The assassin’s name is ibeny, a journeyman tailor, His age is about twenty-three. He maintains with vehemence that he had no accomplices, and that his intention was not to kill the Emperor, but te give him “a mark.’ He further maintains that he had had the now spelled Janos | intention ever since 1850, and watched for thre | of the assassin, the Emperor drew his swo1 “till the year | | throughout Hungary. weeks past for an opportunity to find his victim un- attended. A few minutes before the attack took place, a party of six or eight persons, conversing in Italian, had passed ant were the first to rush to the spot when the alarm was given. Thinking they were accomplices , and stood upon his guard. The mistake was soon ex- plained, if mistake it was, but it gave rise to reports that the attack was made by Italian emissaries, or b Jews. The Emperor’s wound, slight as it was, is going on favorably. When led to prison, Libeny cried “ Vive Kossuth!” According to the latest accounts from Vienna, the health of the Emperor of Austria was daily improv- ing. He had recommenced transacting business with his cabinet ministers, and expressed a wish to ‘o to church to return thanks to Almighty God for | ‘is providential escape from the assassin‘s hand; but, at the suggestion of his medical attendants, he re- | frained from so doing at present. Count O'Donnell who was with the Emperor at the time of the trea- sonable attack, has received the insignia of Knight of the Order of Leopold; and the citizen Ettenreid, who seized the assassin, has been named Chevalier of the Order of Francis Joseph. German Ld oe state that a rising was anticipated at Pesth, and fears were entertained of an outbreak The police of Pesth had ar- rested twenty travellers at the Hotel d’ Angleterre.

EFFORTS TO CAPTURE MAZZINI GENT REGULATIONS AT MILAN—STATEMENTS RE- GARDING THE PLANS INTENDED TO HAVE BEEN ADOPTED BY THE REVOLUTIONISTS—INTENDED ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ELECTRIC EGRAPIL FROM SPEZZIA TO SARDINIA AND CORSICA— D’AZEGLIO'S MISSION TO LONDON—ITEMS FROM ROME. 19th say that the Aus- Milan letters of Februai trian authorities, believing that Mazzini was still in the city, had taken the most rigorous measures to prevent his escape. They even opened the coffins which were carried to the burial ground, to assure themselves that he was not concealed in one of them. The inhabitants are forbidden to appegr on the bas- tions after seven o'clock in the evening. Orders are issued to the householders to oo] a@ lamp burning all night in front of every fc house, from six oialoeks in the evening until daylight. In case of dis- turbance the householders are to close their doors, and every man found in the street is to be treated as concerned in the affray. By order of the command- ant, all the houses were flluminated on the 19th, in rejoicing for the Emperor's preservation. The Paris correspondent of the Times mentions a rumor, but does not know if & be correct, that the funds in the hands of the revolutionary committee in London, collected from France, Italy, Germany and America, amounted to 700,000 francs, just preceding the outbreak at Milan. From another source it is stated that one part of the plan of those who planned the insurrection, was seize the Austrian steamer Radetaky on Lake Maggiore, Groups of passengers were to have gone on board at Pollanza, Intra, Belgirate, Stresa, Lesa, Arona, &c., and to have overpowered the erew and seized the ship between Locarno and Mugadino. The cap- tain got a hint of the plot and put into Lavano, where he landed his dangerous guests. The T'rteste Zei- tung ventures to say that during the past fortnight circumstances have come to light which indicate that at least a part of the population looked with a favorable eye on the insurrection, and if it had gone on favorably would have made common cause with the insurgents. The number of soldiers wounded on the 6th was seventy-three, of whom ten have since died. It is not true that Englishmen were among the insurgents taken at Milan. The focus of the conspiracy was at Malghera. The Parlamento of Turin, of the 18th inst., an- nonnces that the Minister of Public Works had pre- sented to the Chamber of Deputies, on the 17th, a project of law for the establishment of a submarine electric telegraph between Turin, Spezzia, Sardinia and Corsica. On the same day, the Chamber of De- ities voted the army estimates for 1864, amounting % 19,730,000 livres.

A NEW LOAN—DEATH OF A CELEBRATED ATHEIST. The Ham Borsenhalle learns from Athens, 28th ult., that the house of Rothschild has offered, under certain conditions, to advance the government a sum at 9 per cent, to establish a morta bank. A com- mission is appointed to consider the proposal. M. Stournari, a Greek merchant of Alexandria, deceased, has left #50,000 to found an industrial school at Athens. Theophilus Cairis, who has gain- ed some tem) notoriety by his atheism, has just died in prison. His body was buried ,by the police on the quarantine ground, without religious service. Turkey THE NEGOTIATION WITH AUSTRIA REGARDING MON- TENEGRO, AND ITS UNFAVORABLE TERMINATION— THE HUNGARIAN REFUGEES—DEATH OF ONE OF THE SULTAN’S WIVES—ABD-EL-KADER ABOUT TO TURN AUTHOR—ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH BETWEEN ZARA AND AGRAM, Letters from Constantinople of the 6th inst., an- nounce (as before stated) that Count bene pe e Austrian Envoy Extraordi , had received, on the 3d, an ultimatum respecting Montenegro, to which he required a definite answer within five days. This ultimatum demanded the cession, by Turkey, to Aus- tria, of the two ports of Kleck and Sutorina. The letters add that the Porte had refused these demands, and that Austria was, in consequence, advancing her pe towards the Turkish frontier. We cannot see, however, that this coufd have been known at Constantinople under the above date, even if the oc- currence had taken place. The rumors that Austria is determined to find : a cause of war against Turkey is industriously fostered by certain parties and presses. On tlie other hand, it is noticed that the reception given by the Sultan to the Marquis de La- valette, special ambassador of France, was more than usually cordial, while the ambassador's address con- tained marked allusion to the old alliance between France and the Porte. The Paris Journal des De- bats says that as soon as the Divan heard the Aus- trian ultimatum, the French and English ambassa- dors were sent for, and had several conferences on the subject. A telegraphic despatch received by the French government states that on the rejection, by the Porte, of the ultimatum of Austria respecting the Monte- negrin affair, the Austrian flag was struck, and not only Count Leiningen, but the whole Austrian lega- tion left Constantinople. The Ottoman Porte consi- | ders itself as under the protection of England and France. According to Lloyd. the Porte had given assurances _ to Count Leiningen, with respect to the Polish an Hungarian refugees serving in the army of Omer Pacha, that they will be recommended to go to Ame rica, expenses paid—all except those who have em- braced Islamism. One of the wives of the Sultan died, on the 6th ult. Her remains were buried with the usual solemnities, in the mosque of Yéni-Djami. Abd-el-Kader is in good health at Broussa, spendin, his time in retirement, and it is said is writing a boo! entitled “ Meditations on the Koran.” Anelectric telegraph is to be immediately construct- _ ed between Zara and ete by which means news from the East will reach England two days sooner than at present. India and China. BRITISH REVERSES IN BURMAH—TRADE IN INDIA LANGUID—THE INSURRECTION IN CHINA—GOLD DUST FROM AUSTRALIA—THE LONDON STANDARD DISCREDITING THE NEWS FROM BURMAH. | By electric telegraph from Trieste, we learn that the steamship Adria arrived from Alexandria at Trieste the 24th, after a passage of 140 hours. She left Alexandria on the 18th, and brings the fol- | lowing news from India:— The Burmese occupy the Aeng Pass with a large force. Pegu (the province, we suppose) has been | again occupied by a large force of Burmese. They | raised the siege (of the town) on the 8th and 9th of January, and marched to the defence of Schoygt, upon learning that General Steel was advancing upon that place. The Burmese have retired from Prome cnd Meadami. It is said that a revolution had taken place at Ava, by which the old King has been deposed and driven out, and that the new King has recalled the troops to Ava and desires peace. Fever and diarrhea prevailed among the British troops and were increasing. | Trade in India was languid.

Loxpon, Saturday, Feb. 26, 1853. The return of the assets and liabilities of the Bank of Eng!and, for the week ending on the 19th inst., shows the following changes as compared with that for the week previous :— The public deporits had increased £498,762; the private deposits had increased £69,363; the rest had decreased £815; and the seven-day and other post bills had decreas- | ed £72,921. The government securities show a decrease of £29,202; the other securities had increased £356,944: the reserye | or unemployed notes had increased £172,070; and the coin had decreased £38,318. The bullion in both departments had decreased £87,743, | and the aggregate of the paper circulation had decreased £224,895. ‘The above return, it will be seen, is in many respects the most satisfactory that has been issued for some time ast. The public deposits had been augmented by nearly if a million, and the total amount under that head now in the bank is the very satisfactory sum of £6,738,- (59. ‘The other deposits had slightly increased, which is a rather unexpected feature, and inticates a greater de- gree of ease inthe money market than had for some weeks previously existed. ‘The decrease in the government securities held by the bank is comparatively trifling, and was probably occa. sioned by the sale of exchequer bills, Itis not unlikely that the small amount of decrease is to be accounted for by the assumption that the bank has re purchased ex- chequer bills at the lower rates current on the promulga tion of the‘notice of the intended reduction in the rate of interest, and that the sum shown represents the differ ence between the two operations. The other securities show an increase of considerable amount, probably in consequence of the bank adopting a more’ liberal policy with respect to mereantile paper. The bullion in both departments had decreased only to the comparatively trivial extent of £87,743. This is a very favorable feature in the return, and goes far_to sub- stantiate the views expressed under this head. The arri- val of upwards of £300,000 by the Three Bells, and the small additional amount that will be shortly to hand by the overland mail, will probably tend to swell the amount in the bank vaults during the next week or two. No ma- terial addition, however, can be expected until the arri- val of the steamers and sailing vessels known to be on their way with large quantities of the precious metal on board. ‘Themore tatiafactory state of the exchanges with the continent and the United States will prevent any considerable drain from hence to European cities, whilst the higher rates of exchange current with America will necessarily cause an increase to our stock of the pre- :fous metals, The other heads of the return are not of articular interest. Mesers. J. C. Hambro & Co. and Mesars. Murietta & Co. have issued the proposals for a new Four-and-a-Half per Cent loan of £2,600,000 to the Peruvian government. ‘his loan may indeed be regarded as a conversion, its ob- ject being to pay off the Six per Cen; loan at the rate of 11634 per cent, and to pay off an internal debt of about £400,000, upon which the Peruvian government is paying an exorbitant rate of interest. The new loan is brought out at 85 per cent, which wiil give upwards of 544 por cent per annum. The scrip has already been dealt in to » considerable extent, at 234 to 3 pm. for the settlement. We learn that Turkey refuses to accede to the request of Austria, and there {s thus, consequently, a rupture be- tween the two governments. It is not, however, expect- ed that war will take place, as France will doubtless offer her friendly interference to arrange differences. The news has, however, caused some heaviness on the stock markets, and the English funds have declined 3¢ per cent. Consols, which have been 994 to 3 for money, and 99% to % for account, are now 99%, and 99% to for the account. Reduced three per cent, from 100%, have receded to 10034.
