stated to have arrived at MarseVles.—The French
Funds have somewhat declined.

THE article from Genoa, which we inserted in
our Paper of yesterday among the Extratis from the
French Papers, hias given rise to much speculation.
The account it contained of the arrival of an Eng-
lish Flag of Truce at Marseilles on the zd instant,
is supposed to relate to the Surrender of A/exandria.

ment, which the 4-emote date of the arrival; and the
circuitous channel through which it comes, vrilders
it, it must he admitted, questionable, Dispatches thus
forwarded, could only relate to some great disaster
which had befallen the French in the• quarter, most
probably Egypt, whence this Vessel 'Carnes
