THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK
We have no arrivals this morning of the least importance,
consequently it is a blank day for intelligence.
The following is a letter from General Gerard, the Mi-
nister of War, to the Commanding General at Besancon :
" General,—The late events so happily accomplished in
France, have given cause to some of the military authori-
ties to suggest the prudent measure of putting in a state of
defence several of our fortresses on the frontiers. I can only
thank them for their devoted seal for these measures of pry-
caution, but the intention of the Government and the King is
to maintain friendship with all the Powers, and the reciprocal
assurance, on their part, of the same disposition, renders
it useless to adopt such precautions, which would only
tend to cause groundless fears.
(Signed) " COUNT GERARD."

We are still without any political information, and the
'Congo! market has been creeping up during the morning,
owing to some good purchasers, with a scarcity of stack.
• Consols, which were in the early part of the day at
881 for the account, went up to 89/ ;at present they
are 89 to 1, and the market has every appearance of being
firm. The extreme fluctuation during the week has been
about 2A- per cent., from 861 to 86i.
The Galatea frigate has arrived at Portsmouth, from

PUBLIC MEETING AT LEICESTER.

To Gloss persons who have been long attached to the
, principles of liberty—who have a perfect recollection of
tho commencement of the revolutionary war, and the
s.►vage and sanguinary state of public opinion at that time,
no spectacle can be conceived more grateful and exhilirat-
log than the meeting which took place at Leicester, on
Monday, the Gth of September, to congratulate the French
nation on their recent glorious triumph. INotwithstanding
the day was unpropitious and the place of meeting inconve-
nient, the assembly was numerous and respectable. T.
Paget, Esry„ 'Ole banker, and the champion of the inde-
pendence of the county, was called to the chair. The
resolutions were moved and seconded, in speeches of sic.
gulag force and ability. Justice was done to the French
Revolution from its origin particularly by Mr. Ryley and
Mr. Bown.

Meetings of this kind have important and durable
uses. 'they cannot, therefore, be too numerous or too
frequent, The French nation will in them see the most
conclusive evidence of the generally acknowledged justice
of their cause, and the sincere accordance in this country
with their principles. Freed from the apprehension of
any violent interference on the part of England, and in
consequence still has on the part of Continental Powers,
she may calmly pursue her glorious, pacific, and rational
weer of internal regeneration ; and give to the worn-out
dynasties, and their vitiated institutions, an example ton
good in purpese, too cheap, easy, and excellent in practical
utility,
So
