THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O' CL Cr.
Charleston Papers to tile 11th of February have been
received at the North and South American Coffee-house.
They state that by a late decree of the Mexican Govern-
ment the salary of its Ministers to the United States is
fixed at 8,000 dollars, and that of the Secretary 3,000
dollars; Ministers to Europe 15,000, Secretary 4,000.
The Consuls to the United States have 1,500, and those
in Europe from 1,500 to 3,000 ; Vice-Consuls have no
salary. Except the Vice-Consulship no one can hold any
diplomatic trust unless he be born a Mexican.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE.
WASHINGTON, JAN. 23.—Information has been com-
municated to the Department of State, that in consequence
of a new disposition of the Government of his Majesty the
Emperor of Russia, respecting the administration of the
Russian Settlements on the Coast of America, it has been
resolved to transfer the principal factory of the Russian
American Company, now located in the Island of Stotla
to that of Kirliale, and to close the port of New Arch-
' angel, the present seat of that factory.
THE YUNDS.
The general report which prevailed yesterday, that Go-
vernment were going to give 1121. 10s. for 1001. Four
per Cent. Consols, does not gain credit in the City, as the
above plan would create too great a quantity of new stock.
We have no arrivals this morning of the least importance,
in consequence of which the Funds are rather languid at
present, and Consols opened at the same price they left off
yesterday, 92! for the account, and 92A- buyers for money,
at which price they remain steady to the present hour.
We have not a feature in the Foreign Market as yet
worth noticing, and the priers are much the same as
yesterday.

TWO O'CLOCK.
We understand that a Proclamation is in town, issued
by the Marquis Palmella, before be left Plymouth for Ter-
ceira, in which he describes the views of the Emperor
Don Pedro, who still insists in vigorously maintaining the
rights of his daughter as Queen of Portugal, and in case of
non-compliance he is determined to go to war.
There has been but little animation in the Consol Market
during the morning; they have fluctuated from 92-1 sel-
lers, to 92k for the Account, and at the latter price they
are at present, with little business doing—for motley 92H.
The Foreign Market is totally void of interest, and little
or nothing doing.

r During the late severe weather, an unfortunate
little bird, which had been singled out as prey by a hawk,
and pursued through the streets of Aberystwith, took re-
fuge in the empty drawer of a shop in that town, into
which (notwithstanding the presence of the shoptnau) it
was followed by its rapacious enemy, and both were made
captives in their retreat. The poor little creature suffered
no injury except what arose from the fright.—Shrewsbury
