'^Eroin the JYe-w-Yttrk Mercantile Advertiser, Dec. 4* TWO DAYS liATEU FRONT LOVTXW. The British brig Berwickshire, which arrived at thi port yesterday, sailed from Bristol on ihe 28lh of Octo .bcr, and brought a copy of the Bristol Mirror of the 26th containing London dates of the evening of the 24th ol that month, with which the editors of the Mercantih Advertiser have been favored. The following extracts comprise every tiling of inter est which the paper contains. Lowdow, October 24. We have had various rumors in circulation to day which whether true or false have had the effect to cause a considerable depression in the funds. It was re ported that a secret correspondence had been intercept ed between the court of Vienna and Bonaparte, and ths ! the Austrian commissioner had been detected in an in trigue for Bonaparte’s release ; the minor of a dissnln tion ofparliament was also revived. We have no reason to believe in the truth of either of the reports. Lastly, there was another report in circulation, which was con aidered much more feasible than-the rest; namely, that the prospect of the speedy opening of ur ports for the importation of corn having caused a fall in the rate of exchange, the foreigners, who had been waiting an oo- ]k>rfunity to sell, availed themselves of this circumst mc< and disposed of their stock accordingly . What is to In depended on is. that a foreign broker, supposed to b. in possession of some information, threw upon the m .r- ket some hundred thousands of stock—which rati ed 1h depression we have noticed: 3 percent, consols foi* tit- account fell from 6 to 61 5 8. and for nionev from 6 l to 61J. Tluv (‘covered towards the close of the mar ket, an-.l left off at 61 7-8 for account, and 61 o-4 lot money. All tiie letters received to day'from Nfertbyt-Tvd*. il. the 22d instant, state that the rioters com intie quiet, ho that the military daily increase in numbers. In con- - cmenceofa disposition to riot at Brecon, a strong f re. had been sent thitherto protect the several thousand stand of arms deposited there. The military non be ing in possession of the place, all apprehensions for tin safe- tv of the arms have ceased. -One class of the " orkon-n called the- pr.ilh-rs, have been induced to return to then- work, without a compromise, but‘lit se e re the nu n "in are )>aid the highest prices; there are four in numbt-i employed attach furnace. The col furs and miners, the persons who are p.uel the lowest wages, are stiii re Tract ore, and have not returned to their work, but as the different works have a good supply of coal and^_m>n materials on hand, their set vices can L-c tliept nt/ci wiHgj for a considerable time to come. The French newspapers ti il the -world, tlut- trade- goes on prosperously, (. ay s i private letter from Fans) and that the harvest lias been to., mb y good. This is 't»o gro-s. The French .ns- indignant at such a mockery of their actual condition. The f.ce is, that tne baei ■weathe r lias already set in, and with it sympt ms of a timine. The necessity of having fires materially affects The means of the lower order*, from the high price of fuel. They are actually in a desperate state already. The day before vesterdav thehakci-s’ w hole stock of bread in one qu.rter-of Paris had been exhausted by nine o’clock; .there were still multitudes w ho had obtained none for their breakfast. The bakers told the peop’o that they could not obtain flour. The populace became clamorous, an! it was found necessary to c.d! m several counniss iries of the police, attended by gers d’annes, in order o dis- jerse th—in.

A >;<rty of the enemy’s light troops attempted to take poss ’ an intermediate small wood; between ins left and our rr ht, and our’s opposing him, the action commenced. The commander in cmef then ordered the whole line to m-ve forward, which was effected in the best or,!'r-—the enemy reinforced his ii. ht troops in tin- woods, and the same was done under a smart fire on both sides, whilst our line descended from the hill with tin greatest coolness, tiie enemy occupying his advantageous position. On our arrival at the wood, the eneiv.v made a gene ral discharge, which was returned In our line, continu ing its march moi.liy. The valiant squadron having a its head general Z .raze,fell upon the c.n alry on the ene my’s right, which he caused to retire to the rear of his infantry, while the commander in chief taking the colors of the bat.uion, (de Barloveilto) put himself at the iiead of the inf.uttryvc unnianding them to charge with the bayonet, prec puated himself in the enemy’s line, (lene- •;.i i...i..go.s charged oil the left; the mf.iitry of the re s rve, joined the line in this movement, ami the cavalr.

It will be no easy task to manage the populace of Paris, stimulated bv famine an a refractory chamber. One important measure for the security of Paris is the pre sence of 5,i.iO‘J Swiss troops,-some of which arc arrived. We understand that it is by no means the wish of the old experienced tanners that corn should rise, d hey know very well, that with it their purchasers will rise in proportion. 1 hey must sell their corn at market for 131. a 141. a load, winch the monied buyers will soon raise to 241. and 30l. and ch..rge them at that price when they repurchase it in flour. It is said that a firm of opulent millers, in the neigh borhood of l’ishopstone,Sussex, have, at the prisent mo ment several thousand loads of wheat in their granaries mid store housi s, which they purchased when it "as about loorlfii. a load.
