Some of our contemporaries attribute this implored state of our Funds to the artiices and corn!-a ition of Stockjobbers and Speculators at the Stock Exchange, but we Still adhere to our original opinion upon the Subject. We are canfident that a negotiation n Tor peace is in train, and ih,st the funds have risen :npon an assurance th it it will man arrive at suffi cient niatm-ity to be offizially announced to Parlia ment. Seine of the Papers of yesterday stated that Lnd YARMOUTH left town, early on Monday, to embark from Dover, with the answer of our Go 'vernmerst to the dispatch of M. TALLEY R•ND, and that there is reason to believe it is not unfavourable to the proposition of the, French Minister. His Lord ,hip, we admit, may have left town for France, as we know it was his intentiln to return to it to bring holm Lady YAILNInUTH and bin infant child, whom he lef behind, in conseq tence of some diffi culty attending their passp ru. This is the only avowed an i ostensible cauu of his journey ; but, whether h- is the bearer of dispatches. such is the profound secrecy observed by Government, can only be m liter of conjeiure. We repeat, however. that in the best informed circles it is firm ly believed that the negociation is in an advanced state, and that to this is to be attribn .e i the im provem•ot in the funds.
