derly Officers of the King and Princes, the Ladies of Ho-
nour and attendants of the Queen and Princes, and the
rest of the Court. Accommodations were also pointed ow
for the several personages of distinction : their Majesties
were engaged in this task from 11 o'clock in the morninc
till half-past 5 ; nor then were the arrangements finally
settled : the Queen will go again to Fontainbleau before
the arrival of the Princess of Mecklenburg. Certain high'
personoges will, it is said, he lodged in the most splendid
style. Among others, Prince Talleyrand, who will oc-
cupy a suite of apartments superior in magnificence to
those of the Prince Royal himself. Prince Talleyrand's
are fitted up in the style of the empire, representing.that
peculiar grandeur which Napoleon loved to display, while
those of the Duke of Orleans are in the taste of Madame
Pompadour, in which luxury is expressed in fancy. The
apartments of the future Duchess are distinct from those
of his Royal Highness, and the same arrangement will be
observed at the Tuileries, after the marriage. The suite
appropriated to her Royal Highness at Fontainbleau is
rich beyond description, particularly a boudoir adorned with
paintings, sculpture, and gilding of most exquisite art and
taste, in the arrangement and design of which the talent
and exquisite judgment of the Princess Mary has been fol-
lowed. Rumours have been in circdlation that the guests
were to be dressed in a new and peculiar costume. This,
however, is unfounded ; the same mode of dress will prevail
as at the late grand receptions at the Tuileries. The Prince
Royal will appear during the ceremony in the uniform of a
general officer. The Court will take its departure for
Fontainbleau on the 27th. The preparations are being
carried on with incredible activity, and are on a scale not
easy to be conceived. 1,500 principal beds are ordered,
and a proportionate number of secondary accommodations
for the officers of the household.

TIIE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The following is posted at the North and South Amok.:
rican Coffee-house :

" LIVERPOOL, MAY 13.—8 y the Pocahontas Phila-

delphia packet of the 20th, just arrived off this port, we
have received Philadelphia papers of that date. Their
contents have been mostly anticipated by the previous ar-
rivals. Affairs continue in a gloomy state. The Poca-
hontas brings 100,000 dollars, and 5,000 sovereigns in
specie—the greater part for the house of James Brown and
Co., of Liverpool. She brings 21 cabin-passengers and
.51 steerage."
A Lisbon mail has arrived by the Iberia, sailed on the
Gth inst. The private letters do not bring any news of
consequence.

It appears, according to the return of the exports of the
island of Jamaica, of sugar, rum, and coffee, from the year
1772 to the end 0f1836, that Jamaica does not now export
one-half the quantity of produce which she did 20 years ago.

THE FUNDS.

Consols were steady during the whole of Saturday. To-
wards the latter part of the day a repoz t prevailed that the
B ink Directors had resolved to contract their circulation
by the sale of a portion of their securities ; also that the
dead weight is to be offered again for sale. Money still
continues in the Stock Exchange easy, but not plentiful,
for commercial affairs.

Consols, which closed on Saturday at 91 for the Account,
opened this morning at 91 to 91ii- ; for Money, 91—little
doing as yet. Exchequer Bills, 32 34 prem. ; India
Bonds, 32 34 prem. ; Bank Stock, 20G 207 ; India Stock,

the report that the Portuguese dividend will be advertised

HALF-PAST ONE.

The accounts from Manchester, received this morning:,
state that the arrival of the American Packet last week,
with the disagreeable intelligeuce of further failures in the
United States, and the state of uncertaincy as regards the
operations of the Bank of England with the American
houses that have applied to it for assistance, have rendered
the transactions in the manufactured market fewer this
week than was ever recollected. As to prices, nothing can
positively be stated, as literally speaking, there has been no
business doing.

During the course of the morning Consols have conti-
nued steady, with little doing, at 91 for the Account, alter-
nately buyers and sellers ; Exchequer Bills, 34 32 lower ;
India Bonds, 34 32 ; Bank Stock, 203 ; India Stock,
2594- 260.
