The fall which lias taken place to-day 4ii the lands is frightfully rapid. The 5 percents, which left off yesterday at 78f til), have fallen to 75f 90; and the 3 per cents, which closed yesterday at 47f95, have fallen to 45f 80. The new decline is attributed to the march of the Prussians .and the troops of the Germanic couftA*-*-- ation upon the and \Z me troubles coming on Belgium.

If it he true that tl-e Hublinle Porte lias sent an Envoy to War saw, hostilities between Russia an.J Tur key may he considered as certain. In deed such a step on the j>?rt of the hitter Power amounts to a declaration of war. It is, in fact, entering into a friendly ne gotiation with the revolted subjects of the Emperor of Russia.

Ny mtsw-er had yet been received to tit" note addressed to Austria, and the very interesting discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on Monday, tends to the opinion that Ministers feel them selves fortified in maintaining peace. It is said that the note which France addres sed to Austria was concerted with the En glish Minister, and that our government fully tided with that ;,f rvrtnce, to *’ic full extent, upon tlffrt question. The War Department was still unceasing in its preparations. The opinion throughout the Austrian army was, that it" government was de termii*v;d on war.

It appears that war between the bounda ry Provinces ami those of the interior had commenced, the issue of which would probably decide the fate of the contend ing parties. On the i 4xii Feb. the Gov ernor of Santa Fe issued a proclamation, stating that every mean* had been used, without effect, to establish the peace of the Republic and tire liberty of the peo ple, &c.—Governor Lopez as commander m-chief of tiic confederate army, had al so issued several proclamations early in Fell, to the citizens and soldiers, inviting them no longer to serve under the milita ry chieftains, who only sought for power to oppress them. 011 the 15th Feb. .a division of Gov.

Colombia. — V letter from Uortliageua. received by a friend, under date of March 27th, brings news of the rout of General Lni*> Ui Jaueta, by Gen. Fibres; and a report that the former had been shot by the latter. In consequence of this, tran quility had been restored to the Southern department?, which had been disturbed, as we have before noticed, by L. LTrdan eta, under the pretext that he wished to restore the integrity of the nation. It is believed that in case New Grena da should free itself from the power ofj Urdaneta; and Montilla should he over w helmed at Ourthagena, the departments of the North and the South will enter in to explanations with her, for the purpose of preserving the integrity of the nation, and of establishing a good system of laws for the common benefit. This we be lieve is what is desired by liberal and pat riotic Colombians, and the nation gener ally. The mditau-y party have availed themselves of SPpretcxt afforded by tiie divisions which they themsclvi-s had pro duced, to hold themselves up as the re storers of the unity of the Republic, to impose upon the miuds of some, both at home anil abroad.

Within the same period, 97 new auxiliaries have been formed most of them in the newly settled pinrts of the country, where they were much needed. The whole number of auxiliaries at this time is 746, scattered though every State and Territory in the the Union. The resolution to supply every desti tute family in the United States with u copy of the Scriptures within two years from date, was passed in May, 1829. Consequently the two years have expired. The result of the undertaking, thus far, is as follows: In thirteen of the States and Territories, viz: Maine, N. Hump shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, R. Island, Connecticut, N. York, New Jersey, Penn sylvnnia, Maryland, Virginia, Mississippi, and Michigan Territory, the supply has already been nearly or-quite completed, rn eight otlitr states, viz: Deleware, North Carolina, South Carolina, Geer ■ gin, Tennessee, Kentucky.
