Th’ despatch was bulletined on the Paris Bourse oP, the 12th, and the funds rose two ond -h If per cont; the closing quotations are not mentioned, but were about 70f. The news did not transpire in London till after the official closing hour of consols, so that its full effect is not known; sales were made late in the jay at 96}. The London Daily News city article of the 12-13th, says that the funds on Tuesday opened jniet, and business remained stagnant until about two o'clock; when consols were quoted one-eighth per cont lower than on Monday; influential buyers, who are believed to act on good forcign informa- tion, then came forward, and by three o'clock a vise of one-half per cent had taken place; between ree and four, and at a still iater hour, increased buoyancy prevailed owing to telegraphic lespatches from Paris aimouncing an offi, cial declaration of pence, and an advance of two per cent in the rentes, Consols finally fief higher than on Monday, and seven-eighths per cent above tho lowest point of the day. Other classes of securities responded in tire after- 100n to the buoyancy of the funds. In the discount market on Tugsday the supply of money was plen, tiful, and the best bills were taken at 24 per cent. The peace is expected to stimulate commercial enterprise and lead to a higher value of money, The tendency of the foreign exchange this after Bilis on Holland and Hamburg were quoted slightly lower; the principal demand, however, was for paper on St. Petersburg and Austria, for which quotations considerably less favorable for this country were established. There was no alteration of importance in the produce market, but as re- gards sugar and some other articles firmness pre- vailed, Silk market strong, it being anticipated that the numerous buyers who have been deterred from operations by the war will now come for- ward, The London Zimes city article says several largo purchases took place, and spoodily improved ne rly one per cent, the tendency in that direction being greatly stimulated by the of three-fourths per cent noon, in some instances, was rather adverse.

There were no bullion operations at the Bank on Tuesday. The eupp'y of money increases with the payment of the dividends, and the impression that the Bank minimum ‘may be reduced on Thursday assisted the funds in their upward movement. THE POLITICAL EFFEQT OF THE NEWS, The London News affirms that the first hope and expectations of Italy are deceived. It adds:— Bistory will call the Emperor ta strict account for hav ing made war on false pretensions, and signed a mick and efi h pence—a peace that leaves An:trd. !mpregnably for- tifled in Northern Tialy; thai connects Centra!

The Pope is shorn wirtw lly of his temporsl supromecy ; he is de- prived of the substance, but keeps the shadow, The London 7% says that Venice must hope that her independence will not be a mere name, and that the influence of France and Austria united will not be more unbearable than that of Austria singly. The Romans must hope that the Italian Pope, will be nothing like any government they have hitherto known, as they were, but with a master somewhat greater than before; be is honorary President of the Italian Confederation, and General Goyon hols the sword at his side.

The Emperor’s game must be a very long one. THE EFFECT IN THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT” In the House of Commons, on the 11th inst., Mr. Disraeli inquired whether the government had re- ceived information on the subject of the armistice— whether it was a mere military intervention, or whether it involved any prospect of negotiations for peace? Lord John Russell said nothing appoared on the face of the armistice to indicate that it applied to anything but military purposes, It was, however, for five weeks, and he trusted that during that in- terval the belligerent Powers would be ready to propose terms by which hostilities will be ended The government hed no exclusive information, but expected despatches soon, General Peel announced that the entire mil force in the country on the first of June, was 100,600, including the embodied militia. On the 12th, Lord Wodehouse, in the House of Lords, and Lord Russell in the Commons, read Napoleon’s despatch announcing peace. The latter added, that although there was an idea that the Emperor of the Freach would demand Savoy as a compensation for the expenses of the war, he had made no demand, and desired no addition to Trud ond prolbinged imagination ary France. cheers grecled this nnouncement, MISCELLANEOUS.

At the time peace was agreed upon the hostile armies were located thus:— The Austrians, under their Emperar and Baron Hess, occupied Verona, Louis Napoleon had his headquarters at Valleggio, on the east side of the Mincio, and within the square ; while the Sardini- ans, ander Victor Emanuel, were in front of Pes- chiera, which they had invested. We have indi- cated their positions on the map by a doub'e-head- edeagle for the Austrians, the tri-color for the French, and a cross surmounted by a crown for the Sardinians. The quadrangle, it will be seen, is protected at its northwestern corner by the fortified town of Peschiera; at the sonthwestern |y Mintua; at the northeastern by the immense strong ‘ortress of Ve- rona; and at the southeastern by the smaller, but naturally defended town of Legnago. The river Mincio forms the western boundary of the sqnare, presenting a front of about twenty-three miles. The slopes of the Alps and the river Adige, flanking the cities of Verona and Legnago, protect it in that direction; whle a line of impassable marshes, caused by the overflow of the Adige and the Po, sufficiently defend it to the south, between Mantua and Legnago, The strength of the position will Eupego:s an accurate idea of the relative prospects of both armies, ina strategic point of view, when the war was so abraptly terminated. THE GENERAL SEWS, GREAT BRITAIN. In the Hous? of Commons on the 11th the go- vernment guarantee to the Red Sea Telegraph Company was debated on a motion to postpone the confirmation of the guarantee. It was generally conceded that it was too late to cancel the contract, and the motion to postpone was rejected, and the action of the House of Lords iu the matter was agreed to. The Commons agreed to the Lords’ amendment to the Atlantic telegraph bill, Mr. Laing having explained the conditions of the government guar- antee,as already Known. Lord Jobn Russell sta- ted that the government had come to no deter- mination in respect to the acceptance of the Peejee islands, ‘The select committee to inquire into the packet and telegraph contracts was appointed, The last grand review and sham fight of the sea- son had taken place at Aldershot, in the presence of the Queen and Royal family, who remained at the camp several days. eailed (rem exile and bat retsrnad ty hie -ouairy anid Freat demonstrationa of we come, bad eyain exuatrisied Dimself, The veneravie eeltter and statearnaa rotuened by the Rowena, aod is vow in Poiladtpria, do was sccomranted by Senore Rojas and Comacho, snd otuers of bis clorest friende and adherents A pumber of Vineraelans, visiting the United States for business or for piesgure, came passengers oy tha Rowena, OUR VENEZUBLA COKRESPONDRNCE.
