The Onsaisint rose yestettlAy to 81. About two o'clock it tell to 61, and left rff at 61. The other classes of Funds varied in the same proportion. — The aftivity of the correspondence with the Earl of LAUDZKO•LII, and the certainty of his consinu.snce at Paris, caused the improvement in the Funds. — We bklieve the fluCtuation and depression were the result of the ordinary operations of the market. MoTTLLY's Pertagapatk Paper, received yester day, contains the following interesting particulars, respedking the squadron' in the West Indica a— " Late on Friday night, the Saracen sloop,. Captain Prevost. one of Sir John Warren'' squaJron, arrived hero with intelligence of the arrival of Sir John's squadron at Barber/oes, on the late of July. Sir John did not &übor. bet having Stained informa tion of Jerome Bonaparte's squadron, he immedi ately stood to windward of Guadaloupe and the other Islands, whilst be ordered the Saracen to re- Connoitre to leeward of the Weeds, both stretching toward the Virgin Islands.

The Saracen was obliged to pot into Tortola for water, whets the *rived on the 17th. and learned, that tine days before, Jerome Bonaparte's squadron. consisting of seen sail of the lice and three frigates, lay-to of that port, with the intention, it was appre hended, to destroy the British ships lying in the bay; but en Admiral Cochrane's heaving in sight, they instantly mad:. sail through the Virgin Islands ; Admiral Cochrane cvatiaaed elias:ng then for three Jars, and daring so heavy a gale of wind. that the igameaonan could net open her leer-deck ports. Admiral Cochrane then finding that Jerome was clear of the West lodies, and stretching with a press of sail to the Northward, relinquished the pursuit, leaving the Galatea and Circe frigates to watch him, and returned to his station for the pro teetion of the islands, for Jerome was joined by one 00 gun ship and the three frigates, after he sailed from Martinique. Whilst the Serena lay at Tor tola (to hours) a neutral vessel arrived there, and gave information, that the French squadron bad afterwards hauled up to the Southward. and passed through the Mona passage on the 13th, as was sup posed, to run down the coast of St. Domingo, and afterwards to go to the Havannah.

The Expedition remained wind bound, Oa Satur day, in Plymouth harbour. It WAS reported, at that place, that it was detained for ten days; but the tumour received no credit, as the signals fur sailing continued dying. The wind was contrary. and likely to remain so; but did not blow very strong. The number of sail, on.SikturdAy, in the Sound, and between the Islisnd Nisi, the Main, amounted to neat InO. Catwater was quite full of shipping. The homeward•bound Jamaica fl2et passed Portsmouth, yesterday, between twelve and one o'clock, under convoy of V firrcode man of war. We stated some clays ago that the three French frigates, which were in company with Le Wan, when she was captured, by the Wars, had effeard ;heir escape into port. We have since learned, that liourckean; was their place of refuge. The Master of a Danish vessel, last from that place, which ar rived at Plymouth on Friday, states, that on the arrival of these three frigates, they were fired on by the batteries, being mistaken for English ships.— Considerable mischief would brave maned. if a boat, had not been sent from one of them.. We have ree.ived the Manikins up to Wednesday, the Soth instant. They are filled with decrees and judgments which have been passed by the E.sar EliOR and his Public Functionaries, relative to• the internal affairs of France—with the proceedings of the different Societies in Paris—and other articles merely of local interest. • On Saturday, the Itith instant, Their Majesties the Emperor Narot con, and the.

A cartel arrived from France on Sunday win night, at night. at Portsmouth, with three or four families, all females, but one. The unezpeded ar rival of the cartel at this time, caused some suspi. cinn ; the Port Admiral on her arrival placed a i l utrd on board, aid sent her off the next morning.

A report has been very strongly circulated on the Continent, that the Kingdom or Poland is to Ile re stored, and that the Emperor of 1466'44 Brother is to be the new King. It is by no means intpro , bably that Boma,' A nes should make a proposition of that kind to the EMperor of Russia, because it would tend to weaken both Austria and Prussia, who must, of course, give up the portions of l'oland which they at present possess, and consequently place them more immediately under the coniroul of France. It is certain, however, that Bos AAAAAA has yet more cOncessiqns to extort from Austria, for the French troops continue to advance on all sides to the ilustrian frontiers. A private letter brought by the Hamturgh mail, announces the important intelligence, that the Kirg of PROW A has put all his Army on the War lista tylishment, and that he had evacuated Cuxhaven. Yet it is not to bescredited that Prussia is going to declare war against France. She has recognized the Rhenish Confederacy, and all the r,ew titles creased by SONAr A aTt. Iff IN ASCU TE RR ACE.
