The Funds had fallen on . Monday even lower than the private accounts received yesterday *presented. The Five per Cents. opened at 69 fr. and closed at 69 fr. 10 c. From a wivate source we learn, that /a great sensation had been. produced by the failure of one of the principal speculators, who was of high respectabilitr'and much relied on, but had found himself unable to fulfil his engagements. The tssist ance afforded the holders of the rester, it appeared, had not proved so effectual as was expected. Com pulsory sales were still very numerous, and produced a corresponding effect on the market. . The baptism of the young son of the Duke of ORLEANS was solemnized at Neuilly on Sunday. The Duke of BERRY, and the Duke of Cumtrnrsi as representing the Heir Apparent of Naples, were the sponsors. The Grand Duke CONSTANTINE still remains at Paris. His Highness was present on Sunday at the baptismal fete of the ORLEANS family; and on Mon day at a grand ball given by Count DzcAzzs, the Minister of Police. The Duke of ANGOULSME has been received throughout his, tour of inspection along the northern frontiers with the greatest marks of loyalty and de votion : on the sth and 6th he was occupied in visit ing the military establishments at Metz and its vici nity; and on the 7th set out, accompanied only by a single Aid-de-Camp and valet, with the intention, it was understood, of paying a visit to the Royal and personages assembled at Aix-1;-Chapelle. While the men of science of Britain and France, have been engaged in combining the two trigono metrical operations by which an arc of the meridian of mote than twenty degrees in extent has been mea suted, we are happy to learn that the Governments of Denmark and of Hanover, have ordered two new terrestrial measurements to be executed, which will be equally connected together. The King of DEN MARK has appointed M. ScnUMACIIER, Astronomer of Copenhagen, to measure the four degrees of me ridian► and the four degrees of longitude which em brace the Danish territory; and this operation will be connected with a measurement of three degrees of the meridian in Hanover, which has been entrusted to M.Gauss, a geometrician of considerable celebrity., A Joint Prussian and Hanoverian Commission has issued a decree of date the 10th of October, by which measures are ordered to be taken for immediately rendering the Ems navigable. The Austrian division of the Army .f Occupation, consisting of 21,677 men, and 7,560 horses, com menced its route home on the Ist instant. It marches in ten columns, by the bridge of Sponeck. The last column, it is expected, will have passed through Fribourg, in the Brisgau, on the 14th. An article from Vienna states, that official news have been received there from Wallachia and Mol davia, that many persons have been attacked with the plague, not only at Jassy, but even at Focksan and Iberaila. The Anstrinn Government has in con sequence ordered the Authorities of Health of Bucko wine, Bonnat, and Transylvania, to put the quaran tine laws into the most rigorous execution. The genuineness of the Commercial Treaty which we published some days ago as having been con cluded between General ARTIGAS, the Chief of the Orientals, and Commodore BOWLES, on the part of this country, is, we find, rather doubted among cam raerctal men, and it is quite true, that beyond its appearance in the American papers, there is nothing else to warrant a belief that such a Treaty has been actually concluded. A very false notion, however, seems to prevail with respect to the political impor tance of the territory which goes under the name of the Otientals; and nothing can be farther from the truth than any argument against the genuineness of this Treaty, founded on the supposed insignificance of the patties with whom it bears to have been con tracted. An intelligent reader does not require a geogra phical or minute description of that part of South America usually denominated the eastern side of the river Plate. It may suffice to state that, the extent is from the sea to the City of Corrientes, inclusive, and from the Portuguese frontiers to the river, in cluding a track of land called "Entre Rios," or be. tween the rivers, it being situated between the Parana and Uruguay. The capital of the whole is Monte video, now in the hands of the Portuguese. The other towns and villages are also of some considera tion. The principal ones are Maldonada, Rio Negro, San Carlos, Colonia, Capilla de Mercedes, Capilla Nuevo, San Salvador, Paysandu, Concepcion del Uruguay, Gualeguay, Cualeguaycbu, and the Parana, besi les a number of others too numerous to mention ; and in addition to the population of the above-men tioned places, it is to be observed that the country is divided into large estates, called Estancias, the em ployment of whose numtroor pouessOrs, was, before thb present destrnctive war, the feeding of cattle, for their hides and tallow. Don Jose ARtIQAS was elected Protector of the People, in the TOflowing manner :—The different Commandants or Territorial Divisions convened the inhabitants of their respective I)istricts,-4or the pur pose of establishing a Government best adapted to circumstances, and this not once, but many times and their general determination has been, that they place implicit confidence in the exertions of their Ge neral, Don Jose, to sustain that freedom so dearly bought, not only by the destruction of all their pro perty, but by the sacrifice of an incredible number of their fellow citizens. He has placed his Head-quarters, " Purification," in the centre of the country ander his protection.— Love of his country must be the magnet which at tracts him to the spot, for a mort forlorn and desti tute residence cannot be imagined. His pecuniary resources of enjoying the benefit and exalted pleasure arising from an intercourse with cultivated society, could be considerable; but he, sacrifices his peace, health, and comfort, in endeavouring to accomplish the grand and praiseworthy undertaking of protoict ing, as far Os t ,in him lies, his fellow-countrymen, against the machinations of a Tyrant's slaves. Ills soldiers (if they may be so termed) are objects of _.....—suoject to the strictest discipline, al though not receiving pay. The soldier gratefully accepts of his ration of flesh, not unfrequently that of horses, a small portion of tobacco and yerva, an infnsion of which is indispensable to South Americans. --With-this miserable subsistence he endures the most incredible hardships, his naked body exposed to all the variety of the seasons, and inclemency of the weather. Not a word of complaint passes his lips. The orders of attack he receives with incite.' eribable satisfaction. He presents his hardy bosons to the balls of his enemy; and generally his nobly spirit will not allow him to receive quarters from that hands of those who would enslave his county-4# dies—his last breath expresses his warm and baulk. felt wishes for his beloved natal soil. In his camps no pomp or parade is seen—no miws tial bands are employed to raist a transient courage , in his soldiers—no brilliant uniform to please the eye or create an attachment to the service —the General and the soldier uses the dress best adapted to his ideas and circumstances. He asks no foreign aid ; for what supplies he has received from strangers, ample compensation has been given ; he receives all nations with open arms ; allowing all his ports to be free for the introduction of all classes of goods, and for.the extraction of the produce of the country.-- But all his good intentions have been blasted by the ambitious attempts of his unfriendly neighbours ; and yet they are but attempts. Before the Portuguese can possibly obtain possession of this valuable coon- I try, they must exterminate its true owners ; for one and all declare, that perhapi misfortunes might in-, duce them to submit to Moors or barbarians, but death is to be preferred to an acknowledgment of a Government so odious to them. It is a well-attested fact, that the Protector }Cis ordered schools to be erected hl the different districts of his Government, for the instruction of the oriental youth—that he dispenses justice impartially and promptly, notwithstanding his most active life. It may be observed, that the generality of the na tives are in an unimaginable state of ignorance, that the state of religion and morality is most deplorable, that no attention on the part of Government is paid to ameliorating their situation as to their personal comforts, or as to a due observance of the obligations of religion ; but, as the worthy General answers, when spoken to on the subject, " Let us secure our freedom, repel the attack of our enemies, and crown our country with peace ; then, and then only, can we banish from amongst us that ignorance of which you complain t then, and then only, can we pay the adoration due to our GOD." Sir CHARLES. MoRGAI.I, Bart. has kft town for his seat, Tredegar House, Monmouthshire. The Earl and Countess of HARRO*RT and family arrived yesterday in Grosvenor-square, from their seat, Saftdon Hall, Staffordshire. The karl of DARNLEY and Lotd Ctlrrox arrived on Wednesday at his Lordship's house in Berkeley. square, from Cobham Hall, Kent. Lord EDWARD Someaser arrived yesterday at his father's, the Duke of BRAUFORT'S house in Grosvenor square, from France. The Honourable Captain PAGET has left town for his brother's, the Marquis of ANGLZSIA'S seat, Beau Desert, Staffordshire. Lady GEORGINA LENNOX has left town on a visit to the Earl and Countess of MARCH, at their seat, Malcolm, Sussex. Viscount and Viscountess Asuanook and family are arrived at their house in Mansfield -street, from their seat, Beaumont Lodge, Berks. Mr. C. J. ASHLEY, who has, during the summer, been giving concerts in almost all the principal towns in England, had one last week at Boston, in Lincoln shire, which attracted the musical amateurs for miles round that place. The dramatic veteran " Gentleman Smirir," who is now in the 90th year of his age, is still living at his favourite residence, near Bury, in Suffolk, and enjoys, tolerable health and good spirits, but has not visited the Theatre for some time past. During Miss O'NEILL% last professional trip to Bury, he erpies se d a wish to be personally introduced to her, which he was by Mr: BELLAMY, the Manager, and the inter view was highly pleasitag to both partie s .

A The PRINCX * Ramat. did not visit the Palace last night ; but a Messenger arrived from Carlton House, late at night,' by whom a full report of the state of the Queer; was sent to his Royal Highness. ." As the night advanced, all the most distressing symptoms of her MAJESTY'S disorder gradually de veloped themselves, with more than their ordinary malevolence, and the Royal Sufferer passed another sleepless and painful night. " Towards noon this day her MAJESTY was more composed, but her exhaustion was so great, that she remained throughout the remainder of the day, to all appearance, totally unconscious." The following Bulletin was issued this day : " Kew Palace, November 13. " The Qum had some sleep in the night, and her MAJOTY appears to suffer less to-day than she did yesterday,. ' (Signed) " FR. MILLMAN." THE ARMY. DOVER, NOVEMBER it The 12dt regiment of Lancers marched this day .tor Ifythe. The 7th and 18th Hussars are al Calais, waiting for transports. The 7th regiment (Fos;leers) march to-morrow for Deal, to embirk from thence for Ireland. The 3d Regiment of Foot (or Buffs) embarked this morning on board the Sir George Osborne, and Au• rora transports; and tisk 29th Regiment is now em barking on board the Brilliant and Lady Hamilton transports, for Ireland. OPlimonn LIORT HORSE VOLUNTEERS.--This Regiment, which has for so great a length of time afforded sub stantiil protection to the 'Metropolis, has lately re ceived a very considerable accession of strength ; consisting of Gentlemen in the Law, Merchants, Bankers, &c. &c. Their Stables, Riding•houses, &c. (built entirely at , their own expense) at their Head quarters, in Gray'slnn-lane, are supposed to be the most complete of the kind in Europe. MANCHESTER, NOVEMBERII. PRIVATE LETTER. The sales of Cctton, both yesterday and to-day, though considiltable, were not to the extent we usually witness, and the market, on the whole may be consi dered as flat and spiritless. Prices were on the de cline, say from one farthing to one half-penny per pound. This reduction was by no means so great as had been anticipated, from the limited demand and the •ast quantity on hand. There are letters in Manchester to-day both from America and the West Indies ; but they contain nothing materially interesting, being merely routine orders for goods to an inconsiderable extent, and ad vising of remittances which have been forwarded for the merchants and manufacturers. Parliament was yesterday further prorogued, by writ, to the 29th of December. The LORD CHAN cattua and Lord HARROWBY sat in the House of Peers, and the Clerks•and Messengers of the Com mons attended as the Representatives of that House. Yesterday the nomination of High Sheriffs for the different Counties in England and Wales, took place in the Court of Exchequer. Most of the Cabinet Mi nisters and great Law Officers were present. Sir GEORGE WARRENDER, But. arrived on Wed nesday at his residence at the Admiralty, from his seat in Scotland. The nautical instruments used in the voyage of Captain BUCHAN towards the North Vole, were yes terday morning landed at Whitehall-stairs, and con veyed to the Admiralty Office. Yesterday advices were received in Town of the return of Captain Ross, in the Isabella, with his com panion, the Alexander sloop, Lieutenant PARRY, CO Shetland, after a fruitless attempt to penetrate through Behring's Straits past the American Continent. It is said that Captain Ross almost reached the latitude of 78°, and traversed the whole of Davis's Straits, and found inhabitants, but could not discover the smallest opening sufficient to admit the entrance of a ship. Science has, however, derived some advantav, as he has been enabled to trace the line of coast with greater accuracy, and to alter the positions which had been assigned to it in all the charts. The subjoined are given as the general results : ' " The Isabella and the Alexander, Discovery Skips, are safely. arrived in Brassa Sound, Lerwick, all well ; neither ship having lost a man, nor having a man in the sick list. Captain Russ has completely succeeded In exploring every part of Baffin's Bay, and, with the exception of errors in the latitudes and lon gitudes, of verifying the statements of that old and able naviga tor whose name it bears, and of ascertaining that no passage exists between the Atlantic and Pacific Oseans through Davis's Straits and Baffin's Bay, the whole being found to be surroun ded 'by high land, extending to the North as far as lat. 77. 55. and long. 76 %V.: and in the 74th degree of latitude, stretching westward as far as et. \V. longitude. They traced the same the whole way down to the Cape, Walsingham of Davis, which they ascertained to lie in lat. 66. said long. 60. From hence they steered for Resolution Island, and then stood homeware. They have made many curious observations and discoveries, t f which, perhaps, will not be considered as the least interesting,' that of a nation being found to inhabit the Merle regions, ht. tween the latitudes of 76. and 78, who thought that the world I to the South was all ice ; that generation had succeeded genera tioa of a people who had never tasted the fruits of the earth, had no idea of a Semite Berra, who never had an enemy, and whose Chiefs had hitherto supposed themselves Monarchs of the Universe. There now only rettudns to be discovered the termi nation, if it has one, of 3liddleton't Repulse Day, and, a few degrees to the northward of it, to dotermme whether Green land be an island or joins America; and this might with the greaten ease be dont-from the northernmost statioz of the hind sou Slay Cutatany, in any Ol: x4,.):1.'
