THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The most important feature of information received this
morning, and which was not anticipated, is the President's
of the United States' message to Congress. It has caused
some excitement amongst the merchants trading with the
United States. This important document does no less than
shut the American ports against all French vessels, with the
prohibition of French manufactures entering them. Never
theless, great hopes are entertained among the well-informed,
that when the accounts of the mediation of England arrives
out, the American Government will prove more pacific towards
France, and that the affair will and without firing a shot en
either side.

Montreal papers to the 13th January, and Quebec to the
10th January, have been received at the North and South
American Coffeehouse. We extract the following from the
Montreal papers :
" LOWER CANADA.—We understand it was resolved, at a
meeting of the Executive Committee of the Quebec Constitu-
tional Association, to call a general meeting of the members of
the Association, and to petition the King and Imperial Parlia-
ment to take into consideration a Report, to be submitted by
the Executive Committee, on the present state of public affairs,
as regards the complaints contained in their petition, con-
formably to the resolution of the general meeting of the 28th
November last. It is stated that it is recommended that one
person from each county town and borough shall be selected
by the petitioners throughout the province, to attend a general
meeting to further the prayer of their petition—the mode,
time, and place of selection, and of meeting, to be concerted
with the Montreal Association.

" LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL—TUESDAY, DEC. 29.—The Coun-
cil-sat with closed doors in a matter of privilege, supposed to
be respecting the letter of Sir John Caldwell to the Speaker,
at the commencement of the Session.

" HOUSE or ASSEMBLY, JAN. 7.—The Quebec Bank Bill was
ordered to be engrossed. Mr. Secretary Walcott presented
the following message

"'The GZ)vernor in Chief transmits to the House of Assembly
a copy of an Address from the Corporation of the Trinity
House at Quebec, representing the expediency of applying
to the Legislature, to provide funds for the continuance of
the different ports where provisions have been usually deposited
for the relief of shipwrecked mariners."'
The following are extracts from tho Quebec papers :
" The mania for assailing the public conduct of public
officers has increased in the Assembly, and the encouragement
it has received from its success in two recent instances, has
served to whet its appetite for the immolation of those public
servants, who have rendered themselves obnoxious to the scheme
of absolute dominion pursued by its leaders and their blind ad-
herents."

We extract the following from the French Papers received
this morning by express from Paris :
" Letters from Madrid are received by an extraordinary
courier, of the 30th ult., containing as follows :—‘ The or-
ganization of the Ministry continues. M. Mendizabal, after
having had conferences with a great number of the influential
deputies, left, at nine o'clock in the evening, for the Prado,
where M. Rayneval was invited by the Queen, where it was
expected that the new Ministry would be formed, and an-
nounced in the official Gazette. It was asserted in the
financial circles that M. Mendizabal, faithful to the promise
which he has made to his country, is on the point of an-
nouncing his financial project. This ordinance is to appear
about the 15th of February. In the mean time the Funds
oontinue steady.' " _

The general topic of conversation entirely relates to the
President's Message to Congress, and on whiob various opi-
nions are formed ; but nothing positive can be said until we
hear of the arrival of the -POZLiutoon, with our Government
dispatches, and in what manner they will be received by the
ArliClic4o dovernment. The next ArOval from the 'United
States, we have no doubt will he. of great importance, as it
will communicate the arrival of that vessel, and the reception
that or mediation will meet with.
