FRENCH FUNDS. Monied men will feel themfelves interefted in the contents of the following ftatement, which has been circulated in London, evidently with an intention to mite the value of the French Funds in the ellimation of the people of this country; and even thofe who are unacquainted with the na ture and deli' iption of the preterit monied fyftcm of France will derive much curious and ufeful in formation from its pertifal. We need hardly pretni.c, that few who have at tended to the progrefs as courfe of the French Funds will be induced, even from this ftatement, to veft their property in them. It is candidly confdfed, that the Tiers Confotid;, which produce at the prefect price nearly to per cent. are i fix months in arrear ; and though it is Paid there is an intention of paying them up, we know that the anticipation of the French Govern ment are (trained to the let point, and that there is no probability of confinningifuch intention. The array, of the French Government amount to about one year's expenditure, or nearly twenty millions Reding, and its asstieipatiaru to flatten millions, making in all the enormous furn of 36 EngliOs, or 864 French millions ! This, although . bad at tendant upon Pubric Creek and National ithifity, does not excite fo much diftrnit as the very nature of the capital itfelf, which is a confolidaied third of law ful delgt, redaced by a kniruptcy, vohwary with re gard to the debtor, and comint lfi ve, as it rflitelle the ruined and defrau ded creditor. There is not a nation in Enrofre where we may not fee the individual creditors of France, walking almoft without (hoes, and depending upon foreign charity for a morfel of bread. There is not a wealthy City on the, Continent that has not fuffered for the confidence repofed in. French Funds; Venice and Genoa in par ticular. Florence, Geneva, Antwerp, and ilnylerdani, have all loft more or lets from the fame caufc. . STATIMINT 07 THS FRISCH FUNDS AND CONIOLL. DATID FLOATING DIST. Paris. April I. Titßs CONSOLIDE, The booked or confolidated debt,, called Tiers &OUP from its being the confolidated third of the debt, of which the remaining two thirds were reimburfed in Bow de Dam Tiers in 1797, 98. It bears intereil at five per cent. payable at the Bank of France every fix months. The payment of the intereft is at prefent fix months in arrear ; but the intention of Government is, by paying off Liftecie the intereft of one whole year, to pay in future as Coon as due. The pay days are, ,a Germinal (anfwering to 22d March), and the rR Vendamiaire (anfwering to 22d September). This flock, purchafed at the prefent price of 55 to 60, would produce from eight to nine per cent. The gene ral opinion is, that it will rife to 8o ; and as it is the chief flock, and the flandard of the national credit and refources, it is the intereft, and muff be the conflant ohjeft of Government to keep up its prim There is a finking fund (Cai, d'Ancr ifferona) for the fpecial purpofe of paying off this Rock, of which the effe&, though not yet exactly known, mutt very &only be confiderable. This Rock is faleable, and transferable at a moment's warning, and at a very trifling expence ; it is not fubjefl to taxation, nor open to attachments either on the principal or interefl.

The Tier: Provifoire is to be booked before the 22d September, 1803, and will from that day bear interefi of five per cent. ; fo that feting afide the danger of any retrofpce in the interval, and that of any other change, it is at the prefent price of 45 to so cheaper than the Tier: Coafedieli, to which, in about eighteen Months, it will be in every refpeet aflimilated.

This, after the Tiers Cossfordi, is particularly worthy of attention; indeed this debt is of fo fecure and facred a nature, that Government has appropriated a confiderable part of it to the fpecial purpofes and fervice of the hofpitals and fchools, two inflitutions which mull ever be flickered from all viciffitudes, and which Governments of every nature muff fupport and refpea. .ACTIONS DE LA smompt DE TRANCE.

'Me Marking Coprier el" Havre Rates, that the Ragnation of commerce is Rill the faMe, and that' colonial produce, Rill not in abandance,rnaintains a high price. It is eafy to difcover the uncertainty which prevails with regard to the meafures which (hall be adopted relative to the importation 'of fu gars principally. Sometimes they (peak of an en tire prohibition—fometimes of a prohibition to import refined fugars only—other times of a fim ' ple duty upon importation. AU this has the effed of making the fellers keep up their nom, and that the purchafers are afraid to encumber themfelves with large purchafes. Let the government fpeed ily adopt fixed meafures, in harmony with the in terefts of commerce and national manufaaures, and that fluCtuation of ideas will loon difappear which now keeps the (hips in our ports, and the, capitals in the hands of thole to whom they be long. Thofe which it would be proper to take, with regard to refined fugars, would not be diffi cult to conceive, if our refiners would refume their wonted adivity, or rather that to which prefent circumitances ought to fiimulate them. In the mean time it is difficult to prevent the importation of Englifh loaf fugar, which comes marked with counterfeit certificates of its origin of Hamburgh, Bremen, and even Holland, and which at prefent fupplies our whole confumption.

At the grand parade which took place to-day, the Chief Conful reflored to the s a-Regiment of Foot Artillery their colours, which after the in. furrtaion at Turin, were taken fiom them, co vered with black crape, and placed in the Temple of Mars. At eleven o'clock in the forenoon, 6o cannon eers a cheval, belonging to the Confular tuard, proceeded to the Temple, received the colours from Gener4l BE It RUM, and afterwards took their Dation in the Court of the Thuilleries, where all the troops were drawn up oppofite to the above mentioned regiment.

The regimental band played a number of mar tial airs.

" My lift letter was dated the loth of May.—.. General ANDILSOSSI; Commander in Chief of the Artillery, is appointed -Ambaffador to London. He is a man of great talents in his profetfion, as well as in every branch of knowledge neceffary to fill fo important a fituation. He is a native of Languedoc, about thirty-five years of age_, of a very good family, though not noble. He firn Ifignalifed himfelf at the famous prep of the Po with BONAPARTE in the year 1796 ; fince then he has been in Egypt, and his left campaign was with the Gallo-Batavian army as Chief of ;he Staff with AUGERSAU. What is very extraordinary is, that General ANDSIOIII was, during the Government of the Direaory in 1798, nominated one of the four Commiffloners appointed to fuperintend the defcent on England; the Commiffion confined of ANDRIC:MI, Admiral LACROSSE, FORF•IT, Colonel of Engineers, and MWSKIN, Commandant of the flotilla. He takes with him, betides a Secretary of Legation (the younger POITALIS), two Aid. du-camps. " It is rumoured here, that the French Govern. Iment has complained to the BritTh Government of the French Princes in England wearing the in. fignia of the Houfe of Bourbon. The reply given was, that the Pretender wore and even diftributed orders at Rome, and the Government of Great Britain was not in the lean offended. " Lord HUTCHINSON has been here this fort. night; he looks very well, and is mach recovered; he was not prefented yenerday. as The Bikini Government having Ikriely pro. hibited the importation of any kind of produce from this country; the Government here were not well pleafed with it; and it is in confequence of that, that a Colaire Goren& is appointed foe England, to modify certain navigation laws and other commercial regulations, and that I believe will be all ; for there certainly will be so treaty of commerce."
