The Funds, which were yesterday in a drooping condition, continue to fall. Consols, which last week were done as high as 78i for money, are to-day as low as 761. Formerly, when any consi derable depression occurred in the French funds, it MU followed with a corresponding rise in our ovfn ; but this has not been the case in the present instance. We have the opportunity'of knowing that considera ble money investments have, within these few days, been cptisigned by Engli s h Capitalists to America; and tic diversion of capital united with the great dfmand for specie which prevails on every part of the Continent, may be assigned as the most probable, causes that our funds have profited so little from the great fall in the French. Bank of England Stock experienced yesterday a fall of 4 per Cent. occa sioned, it is understood, by the confident expectation entertained of the approaching resumption of Cash payments; in which case the Bank being obliged to limit its discounts, its profits must of course be dimi- nished. It is generally reported in the City that an Erpress has arrived this morning, stating that the French Funds have suffered a still further extraordinary de pression from 71fr. 80c. to 66fr. THE FRENCH ELECTIONS. FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT AT PARIS. " Paris, October 29. " We have often had occasion to remark the exag geraion and ultra-royalism of La Vendee. Will it be believed that it has returned two staunch Inde pendants as its Members, one of -whom, only three years since, voted the perpetual exclusion of the Bourbons from the Throne of France ? This fact -alone is very consolatory, for it shews that, even in the most violent department in all France, liberal ideas prevail so much as to obtain a decided majority in the respectable classes of society. " The Government being- unable td get either of their own Candidates for Paris elected, threw its in• terest into the scale of M. Terneaux, who is as emi nent as a commercial man as his competitor, M. Ben. Constant, is as a political writer. It is said that M. Terneaux canaot hold forth as an orator, but he is perhaps not the less acceptable on that account. The Chamber has too many orators already, who talk so much nonsenso, that half of the silent voters quietly take their nap till the question is called on to be closed, and we think M. Terneaux may be regarded as an honest constitutional voter." EXTRACT FROM ANOTHER PRIVATE LETTER. " Paris, October 29. " The election of M. Manuel for La Vendee has astonished many person, but is easily understood by those who know the country. There, as well as in other parts of France, there are a great number of purchasers of national property. They in general inhabit the towns, where they are more secure than they would be scattered over the country, were any clisturbance to take place, with which they have often been threatened. They have agreed among themselves to elect a Deputy determined to defend them in the i Chamber against the vexations and humiliations to which they have been exposed by the conduct of the I Prefect, Count de Kerespertoz, and some of the Sub- Prefects who, like him, are under the influence of the Ultras.--In the mean tine, this strange occurrence deranged all the chances of the Paris candidates. M. Lafitte, who supported M Manuel with all his in fluence, before he was elected for La Vendee, had the weakness, to say nothing less, to yield to the im portunities of a small number of zealous partisans of M. B. Constant, and to lend him his interest, though Le had much reason to complain of 'M. B. Constant, and had even been denounced by him in the Mirterve. This is the circumstance which enabled M. B. Con stant to stand a ballot with M. Ternaux, the weal thiest manufacturer of France, and one of the most respected citizens of the capital." PROM ANOTHER PRIVATE LETTER. " Pa:is, October 29. Hitherto the Ultra-royalist Party have not been able to carry a single nomination. It has been without any kind of influence in the elections ; and probably iii the next Session it will lose what it retains in the Chambers. This party is ruined beyond redemption. Soon there will be no more question about it; and the wrecks of it will only be to be found in the back Saloon of the Thuilleries. It seems that it cannot even prevent in the Gard the election of M. de St. Aulaire. This will in general be learnt with pleasure. —Seduced by the graces of his easy eloquence, the guests of the Cadeau-bleu still reckon on the assurance which he gave them, that his relation of father-in law to M. de Cazes would deprive him of no part of the independence of his opinions. As for myself, I confess that I fear that when he has once descended into the arena, he will say as Louis XIV. said to the Allies, who proposed to him to join them in a war against Philip V. his grandson . ;—‘ I cannot space war against say children:: TILE QUEEN. iiir t ,"tielday Night. " The QUEEN still continues tie labour under the most distressing debility, but in other respects she has been 1114eseintt more at ease to-day than she was yesterday.' • " The inINCI REGtNT arrived at the Palace about noon from Carlton House, and, having taken a slight refreshment, his ROYAL Hionnees went on to Wind sor, accompanied by the Duchess of GLOUCESTER.— Their Royal Highnesses returned at half-past five this evening, and the Panics dined with his Royal Sisters. His ROYAL HIGHNESS returned to Town at ten o'clock." The following Bulletin was issued this day : Kew Palace, November 4. " The Qtrtres symptoms continue without any material abatement. (Signed) " HENRY lIALFORD." THE ARMY. / DOVER, NOVEMBER 3. - Arrived last night and this morning several sail of vessels from Calais, with part of the 57th and 91st Regiments, also Detachments of the Royal Artillery and Drivers, with guns and stores. Seeral vessels, having on board the remlinder of the 57th and 91st Regiments, bine up last night for Ramsgate. The 43d Regiment marched this morning for Can terbury ; and we have at present remaining here the troops which arrived this morning, and the 7th and 23d Regiments. There is no more Infantry expected to arrive till after the 15th instant, when the Fortresses which are still held by the Guards and .62d, will be given up.

Came in last evening from Calais, about a dozen sloop-rigged vessels, having on board part of the 91st and 57th Regiments, which have been landed this morning, and for the present quartered in the town. A great many vessels have arrived this morn ing, likewise from Calais with troops. Their instruc tions on being - shipped were to proceed to Dover ; but for the safety of the men, and from a dread of being caught within the bar at that port, they judg ed it prudent to run for Ramsgate. The Duke of Wellington, Commodore MARTIN, has just (noon) shot within the heads from Calais, having On board several Staff Officers, and valuable horses belonging to General KEW and Sir THOMAS BRISBANE. This vessel attempted Dover harbour, but on a near approach to the bar, they were induc ed to wear ship, and shape their course for this port. The first arrival of British troops from France in London took place yesterday. They came. in small parties, along Waterloo Bridge—a most appropriate entry! Saturday night, as the Prosperous sloop, of Hast ings, was making Dover harbour, with troops, she was run on board by the Ulysses, of Sandwich, by which accident two privates of the 9.9 th Regiment, were unfortunately drosYned,-or crushed to death, in attempting to jump from one vessel to the other. The reduction of men in the 9th Lancers took place last week. Thursday, the Leeds Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Captaia WILLIAM BECKETT, was re-I viewed upon Woodhouse-Moor, by Lieut.-General Lord GRANTHAM, who expressed his approbation of the precision with which the different evolutions,were performed. PIANCHLSTER, i/UVE,MBER 2. PRIVATE LETTER. The Cotton Spinners, charged with a conspiracy, in attempting to raise their wages during the late turn-out, traversed on Monday the indictment against them until next Sessions. Monday was the Duke of REST . :; birth-day. His Royal Ilghness's tradesmen illuminated their houses. On Friday the whole of the domestics of the Prin cess of WALES at Kensington (nine in number), and which were ordered to be retained till orders to the contrary, received notice to quit. Her ROYAL HIGH. Ness has also given up her apartments in the Palace. Lord AN ON is arrived at his house in St. James's square, from his seat Shugborough, Staffordshire. Lord MLLVILLE, the Hon. Captain Morten", and Sir THOMAS BRYAN MARTIN, the Comptroller of the Navy, visited Chatham and Sheerness Dock Yards, on Wednesday and Thursday last, for the purpose of examining the new works and repairs carrying on at those places, and on Friday returned to London. The Grand Jury were yesterday discharged from their attendance at the Old Bailey. The Foreman presented to the Court a written Address, regretting the inefficacy of executions for forgery, and suggest ing that perhaps solitary confinement, judiciously applied, would produce a more salutary effect. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. --Lag night a new Dra matic Romance, entitled Barmecide; or, The Fatal tslpring, was produced for the first time. The scene is laid in Bagdad, the Caitiff of which (H. JOHN sToNs) exerci:.e.s his tyranny upon his sister Zaida (Mrs. OncEa), her husband, Barmecide (H. Koalas), his former friend, and their innocent offspring, by condemning them to death. Barmecide succeeds, however, in gaining over the troops, but being a lover of legitimacy, he orders them to obey their lawful Sovereign at the risk of every thing. The Caitiff is conciliated by such a proof of loyalty, and', a general pardon is proclaimed. The whole was very favourably received. The music, which was com posed by Mr. T. Comm, has much merit. COVENT-Gartninc.—The Comedy of She Would and She Would Not was performed last night. Mr. `W. FARREN made his first appearance in the charac ter of Don Manuel, which he sustained with great truth and judgment. Mrs. T. HILL, as livolita, acquitted herself with much spirit. 1 NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. FLORIDA SLOOP ,OF WAR.

Tuesday se'nnight, owing to theextrerne darkness of the night, the Mate of the Charlotte, while proceeding down the West Quay, Greenock, with the intention of going on board that vessel, unfortunately fell over and was drowned. Yesterday afternoon two young men engaged a boat at Erith to amuse themselves for an hour or two. Not being very expert watermen, they came in con tact with a barge, when the boat was upset, and both the young men were drowned. They appeared re spectable young men, about 26 years of age. THE LATE Da. EvANs.—Dr. EvANs, Master of the Royal Mathematical School at Christ's Hospital, was first appointed Assistant Astronomer Royal to Dr. MasKELyNE ; but upon his marriage in 1797, took the charge of an Observatory belonging to WILLIAM LARKINS, Esq. of Blackheath, who had been twenty-one years Accomptant-General in India. On the death of this Gentleman, lie was elected Mas ter of Travers's Mathematical foundation in Christ's Hospital, instituted for the education of the sons of Lieutenants in the Navy. In 1803 he was appointed Mathematical Master in the Military Academy at Woolwich, and in ISIS, succeeded to the Royal Mathematical School, at Christ's Hospital, founded by CHARLES 11. He has left a wife and five chil dren, two of whom are infants. He was a man of the highest attainments in Science, perfectly ac quainted with its progressive history and latest ad vancement, at home and en the Continent ; exhi bited remarkable proofs of ingenuity and profi ciency in practical Mechanics, and contributed occa sionally, some very useful and interesting Papers to the Philosophical Magazine. Ile has left behind him, among other translations fronrforeign scientific works, the whole Treatise of Cacrioct, on Plane and Sphe rical Trigonometry, so highly recommended by LA LANDS, and a vast number of unfinished papers in several departments of Philosophy : his library is con sidered one of the most valuable collections of Ma thematical and Philosophical Works in the kingdom. He was fond of society, amiable and unassuming in his manners, of an active and liberal mind, and with such a fund of general information as rendered him ' at all times a delightful and instructive companion. In the discharge of his public duties he was emi nently useful. Much knowledge has certainly pe rished with him: and the chasm which his death has produced in the circle of those who loved and re , spected him, is indeed widely azd most acutely felt.
