THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Our arrivals this morning are the French and Ostend mails.
A mail has also arrived from Rio Janeiro by the Seagull—
sailed the 18th January, and from Pernambuco Bth Dec. By
this conveyance we have Buenos Ayres Papers to the 25th
Dec., with the Journal of Commerce from Rio Janeiro to the
filth January. We extract the following from the Buenos
Ayres Papers :
" The Montevideo Journals contain details of a correspond-
ence between General Manuel Britos, of the Oriental Re-
public, and the Commandant of the Brazilian frontier of Ale-
grate. It seems that on the Ist instant the former addressed
a note to the latter, in tenor that the Oriental Government
had observed strict neutrality as it regards the dissensions in
the Brazilian province of Rio Grande. Commandant Almeida
replied to the above on the 3d, stating that when the Oriental
emigrants entered the province of Rio Grande, the frontier
was without a garrison or local authority. He, however, had
sent 200 men thither, but the rebels against the Imperial
authority immediately marched 500 men to the same spot ; so
that he thought it prudent to counsel the taking of some of the
emigrants into the Imperial service ; that the proceeding could
not injure the Oriental State; and that the officers and troops
whn emigrated were at present in the town of Alegrete, and
its vicinity, disarmed, with the exception of General Rivera,
who had gone to the capital of the province. The Comman-
dant next requested an interview with General Britos. The
latter replied, that his public duties would not permit him
to accede to the interview proposed." The highest price of
doubloons during the week, 120-2 dollars ; lowest, 1163- ; Ex-
change, highest price, upon England, 7id ; lowest, /id. The
exchange comes from Rio Janeiro on London, 31i.
The Bank Directors held another meeting yesterday, which
was supposed to be relative to the assistance to be given to
the commercial houses who require their aid, as well as to the
security to be given.
The information received yesterday from Holland relates to
the particulars of a new Dutch Loan to be raised by subscrip-
tion. It is to be divided into 19,000 portions of 1,000 florins
each, the whole equal to about 1,500,0001. sterling.
