THE FINDS.7-(THIS DAY.)

7'WEL E O'CLOCK.
Our only arrivals this morning are the French Mails.
The following is a copy of the bonds issued by the United
States' Bank:—
" No. 86. £ 1,200

" BANK OF TILE UNITED STATE?.

6' Philadelphia, March 30, 1337.

" The President, Directors, and Company of the Bank
of the United States promise to pay to the bearer, on the
first day of April, 1633, Twelve Hundred Pounds Sterling,
of the Counting-house of Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Cu.,
in London.

" Witness the seal of the said Company, and
the signatures of their President and Cashier.

" S. JAUDON, Cashier.

11. BIDDLE, President.'

The above bonds were sold yesterday at 94 for every hun-
dred pounds sterling ; they do not bear interest ; therefore
they appear to be a speculative transaction. The parties who
hold them at the end of eleven months will receive one hundred
pounds for the ninety-four pounds.
The above Bank, we understand, has a capital of about 3
millions of dollars, and a rest of about 12 million of dollars.

The following circular has been issued by Baring, Bro
thers:—

" Baring, Brothers, and Co. beg to inform their correspond-
ents in the United States, that they cannot cor.sider bills of
exchange of the character described at foot as a proper remit-
tance to them to cover engagements entered into for their ac-
counts, viz.

" 1. Bills drawn by agents on their principals or employers
in Europe, unless endorsed by substantial houses to the re-
mitters.

" 2. Bills drawn by firms in the United States who are
partners in the firms drawn on in Europe, or by a partner on
his house, unless endorsed by substantial houses to the re-
mitters.

" 3. Bills, however in order, drawn at a longer sight than
60 days.

" London, March 2, 1837."
THE FUNDS.

In the early part of yesterday, Consols reached 91, owing
to a great scarcity of money and stock ; but soon after they
receded, owing to a quantity of the new American paper being
brought to market ; and Consols closed, for Money and the
Account, at 901 Exchequer Bills firm at 42 to 44 prem. ;
India Bonds, 40 to 42 prem. ; Bank Stock, 2041 2051; India
Stock, 2581 2594.
In the Foreign Market little doing. Spanish Active, 22;-
23 ; Passive, 51 6 ; Deferred, 84 9 ; Portuguese, 47} 48 ;
Three per Cents, 301 31.
A mail has arrived from Lisbon of the 16th inst., but it does
not bring any news of importance. All was tranquil in the
above capital.

HALF-PAST ONE.

During the whole of the morning very little has been done
in the new American paper sent over to this country to a
very large amount. At present there does not appear a very
great desire to discount them, and they may be quoted at 931.
to 941. for every 1001. sterling—a great deal will depend on
the bankers discounting them for the holders, as well as the
credit given them by our manufacturers, who are in the habit
of shipping largely to the United States.
We have seen private letters from Lisbon, stating that a
change of the Ministry is expected, and that M. Castro had
absolutely tendered his resignation on the 13th inst. It was
feared that great difficulty would be experienced in the forma-
tion of a new Ministry. We also learn that great excitement
prevailed there on their learning the failurenof two Lisbon
houses in London ; and a feeling of distrust was felt in respect
to London paper.
Consols may be quoted at 904 S for Money ; for Account,
904. Exchequer Bills, 42 44 prem. ; India Bonds, 40 ;
Bank Stock, 2041 205; India ditto, 258 i.
In the Foreign -Market Spanish Bonds are very dull, owing
to M. Mendizabal confessing that he had not succeeded as
yet in contracting for the loan, in consequence of which it is
presumed that the dividends on the Coupons will not be paid
on the first of May next.

Spanish Active has receded in-the course of the morning
from 23 to 22A-4, at present 23 ; Passive 5a i; Deferred 8i- ;
Portuguese also lower, 47§ ; Three per Cents. 30i ; Coupons
lower, 46 to 47; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 53.
THREE O' CL CE.
Consols for the Account, 90a.

Mr. Hood, in an article of singular humour, states
that the phrase " republic of letters," was hit upon " to insinu-
ate that, taking the whole lot of authors together, they have
not got a sovereign amongst them."
