THE FUNDS.

The report yesterday afternoon that a change in
the Ministry was on the eve of taking place, is to-
tally discredited this morning in the city, and has
not had any effect on the Funds. Consols, which
left off yesterday afternoon at 9.5 i + for the Ac-
count, opened at the same price, since which they
have recetrd to 77.:,•_••••••,-. •

their former price, 95i for the Account.
The President's Message is exceedingly concilia-
tory towards the British Government and other
foreign Powers, with the exception of that of
France, owing to the American claims remaining
still unsettled with that country, and up to the pre-
sent time it has not had the least effect on the
British Funds.
A Malta mail has arrived, sailed on the 24th of
November, from Corfu 18th Nov., Gibraltar 12th
Dec., and Cadiz 14th Dec. The information the
above mail brings has not as yet transpired.
Accounts from St. Petersburgh, of the 9th Dec.,
state that commerce in general during the lust year
was brisk. 1,509 ships had arrived, and 1,488 had
left Cronstadt.

The report is again revived, and said to have
come from the west-end of the town, that a differ-
ence exists between the King and the Duke of Wel-
lington, but up to the present hour there are no
positive facts that any reliance can be placed on the
above report; but there is no doubt that sales of
Stock have taken place in consequence.
Consols reached in the course of the morning
95i, but soon after declined to 9.5 e I, and at pre-
sent ate 951 I for the Account. A great deal of
money stock has been brought to market, owing to
the Bulls leaving the market yesterday afternoon in
a fidgety state, and on their return this morning
were determined to realize.

In the Foreign Market the chief business was in
Greek and Brazilian stock—the former got up two
per cent. In other securities little doing.

The French mail still remains due.
