But he is also charged with the businces of settling an eid boundary question, and the proposed tine will take a fat silec of Paregasy. This fact may account for Lopez “Guiting to perform bis agreement made with Urquiza when tue United States floet was in his waters. Brazil, also, has once definitely refused to ald Urquiza. Ie epite of these things Urqniza suddealy appears asa porctuser of steamboats, for which a month ago he had no money. The fands are believed to be cither from Para- gosy or Brazii—most likely the latter. Urquiza ia no stranger to Brazilian gold. When he rose againat Rosas, the Buenos Ayrean dictator, in 1851, Brazil gave him the winewa of war to the amount of 4,800,00 silver dollars.

A bounty of 2,000 pesos (about one bundred Spanish dollars) is offered for epistments for one year. The steamers Oonstitution, Sreee and Bueros ayres, with the eteamer General Pinto ‘and the schooner Rio Bamba, will be the Buenos Ayrean fleet.

Th wus fro presentiment that it would not be ab!e to retiet the torrent of opinion that on the 19th of February sagt @ EUprcmMe decree was issued, the precursor of ulte- rior measures, which it will be seen are ne to be eken iv compliance with the imperious will of the i Preaident i. _ Confederation is always dis- Pozed to respect its voluntary sovere' itienately Danvfertec, and I'do nok doubt that before’ the termaine. on of his lawfal term, he will render to bis country tne em Dent rervice Of britging her into union without injory to the rights of any cne; because be will thus complete the future of the cies which have been neath the ebadow of the benners which triumphed at ¥onte Caseros, and increase the splendor of his brilliant pubiie career.

THURSDAY-SIX O'OLOCK A. M. ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA. Highly Important from the Seat of War. An Armistice Agreed Upon at the Suggestion of France. «xtraordinary } fect of the Cessation of lostilities, RAPID RE IN PUBLIC SECURITIES, BUOYANCY 18 THE COTTON MARKET. &., &., to. ‘The steamabip Africa, Captain Shannon, which sailed from Liverpool at three o’clock on the afternoon of the 9th inat., arrived at this port this morning. ‘The Oity of Manchester fm New York, arrived at Queenstown at six o'clock on the evening of the 7th, and the Fulton reached Southampton about eight o’closk the same evening, ARMISTICE BETWEEN JRANCE AND AUSTRIA, On the 7th instant the Emperor of the French tele- @raphed to the Empress that an armistice had been con- cluded between the Emperor of Austria and himeelf, and that Commissioners had been appointed to settle the Clauses and duration of the armistice. ‘The Paris Moniteur, in publishing the official despatch, appends the followirg remarks:—''It is necossary that the public should not misunderstand the «xteot of the armis- tice, It is Mmited merely to a relaxation of hostilities between the belligerent armies, which, though leating the | Held open for negotiations, do not enable us for the present to see how the war may be terminated.” The armistice had given rise to a variety of specula- tions in the English papers. The London Times belioves in peace, and remarks that, “before the truce has ended, the French army will be refreshed and reinforced. A fleet of gunboats will be ready for supching upon the lake that surrounds Mantua, and a great army will bo ready to make its descent upon the shores of Nurthern Italy. Broken and dispirited aa Austria now is, sho ts yet Detter able to fight at this moment than she will be at any futuretime. We believe therefore in peace, and we believe that the path to peace ‘will be made smooth to her, for the Emperor has won the advantage which for the moment he proposes to himaelf. If this war between France and Austria is ended, France comes tremendous in power out of the conflict, and Aus- tria and Europe will look on with still increasing interest, much meditating upon the future, while she rests upon her arms.’’ The London Post inclines to think that the propositio for an armistice ca:.e from the moderatian aftha Emoeror of the French, and is opinion tnat Avstela will consent to passificn had Tialinn oway, aust Dus end the war, The London Daily News says it would’ be interesting to know whether the propositions for an armistice came from Austria or from a third Power, for no one will sup. pore that it was made by France. By whosoever, it can be accepted only for the purpose of giving scope to nego tlatione. ‘The London Gite interprets the armistice ssa prolade to peace, EXTRAORDINARY EFFECT OF THE ARMI- STICE ON THE VsRl0US MONEY Mar- KETS, ETC. Panis, July 9, 1859, The Meniteur of to-day contains the following:—The ar mistice was signed at Villatranca on tho 8th iostaat be- tween Marshal Vaillant and Baron Hees, Its term ia fixed for the 16th of August. It stipulates that commerciai ves fels, without distinction of flag, shall be allowad to navi- gate the Adriatic unmolosted. Loxnon, July 9, 1859 The London Times of to day eays:—With regard to the armistice there is little to communicate beyond what the public alresdy know, AN that seems tw be well authenticated is that the proposal came from France, and was the regult of the Emperor’s own de- termination, This fact is indeed highly important. That the Empo | ror Napoleon should stop short in a careor of victory, and make overtures to the foe whom he has defeated in two pitched battles and burled back to the limits of Lom\ar. dy, argnes the moderation or the necessities of the french ruler. We can hardly believe that the latter haye been the cause of this sudden resolye, If the next week or two show that Napoleon and Francis Joseph really wish to stop the effusion of blood and to settio permanently tho affairs of Italy, we shal! be glad to help thom; but it be, comes this country not to lower ita dignity by pressiog her advice unasked upoa two Emperors who have shown no desir) that wo should share their council.”” ‘The city article of the Loudon Daily Newr, dated the evening of the 8th, says:— Great sensation was produced im the Stock Exchange this morn’ng by the news of fan armistice. Tho immediate result wasa rash to buy pack on the part of recent speculative ecllers, Maialy under the influence of the demand from operators for the fa‘l covto's soon obtained a rise of 144 a1 per cent. Up- on news that the French fands had run fully two per cent consols, which had meantime experienced a relapse of 3% to 4 per cont, at once sprang up again. At tho close, the market showed renewed firmness, and the latest quota, ions were exactly 135 per cent above those of yeaterday, ‘The rise extended through nearly all the other depart- ments of the stock exchange, Lombardo-Venetian shares clowed about 3¢s. per share higher than yesterday, Io Turkish stocks a rise of 3104 por cont was established. British railway stocks advanced in most instances ono to two per cent.” Tre London Zimes city article, dated evening of the 8th, paye:—this har been settling day in coneols, and the effet of the sudden intelligence of the armistice has been extraordinary. The opening transactions woro a rise of 134 per cent, and the upward movement early made fur ther progress.
