THE FUNDS.

We have but very few arrivals this morning, and the
express from Paris contains nothing of importance, and
does not bring any fresh accounts from the theatre of war,
therefore we must wait the arrival of the Hamburg
steamer. At present electioneering is the order of the day,
which chiefly occupies the attention of the public, who,
no doubt, will not forsake their patriot King, and boldly
defy all hie enemies.
In the Funds scarce a bargain doing as yet. Consols,
which left off on Saturday at 78P8- for the account, opened
at the same price and continue so, and at present for
money 79*.
In the Foreign Market not a feature worth observation.
HALF-PAST ONE.

The Dutch steamer has arrived, and the Hague Papers.
of the 24th and 25th inst., have been receivediat the Nerth
and South American Coffee-house, but they do not con-
tain any fresh accounts from the theatre of war in Poland.
The following is an extract of a letter received from
Constantinople, dated the 20th of March :
" The new Russian Ambassador (Butonieff ) has ar-:
rived here. The fleet, which is composed of twenty-five
ships of war, is entirely equipped and provisioned, and
will soon sail for Alexandria,—but their object is not
known."

The private letters received this morning from Antwerp
state that all was quiet there, and it was generally re•
ported that the citadel was going to be evacuated by the
Dutch troops. Great expectations were entertained that
the affairs of Belgium would soon be settled.
The private accounts received this morning from Ham-
burg say that gold and silver was so abundant there that
no use could be made of it ; and it was expected the
most part would be sent back to England. Corn was
also in great abundance there, and no purchasers for that
article.

The private letters received by the express from Paris
state that the Protocol had been signed by the French
Government regarding Belgium.
Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at
78i, for the account, have improved to 79k, and for
money 79k.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing.

KING'S THEATRE.

La Gazza Ladra was performed—and ably—at this
theatre on Saturday night; on which occasion 11Iadame
MIRE LALANDE undertook the part of Ninetta. Maddie.
TAGLIONI'S reception in the ballet of Kenilworth, which
followed, was enthusiastic. On Wednesday a grand
Masquerade, we understand, on a most superb scale, will
take place at this theatre.

The Duchess of WELLINGTON died yesterday
morning at ten o'clock, at Strathfieldsaye. The Duke,
Immediately on the receipt of the melancholy intelligence,
left town for the seat of mourning.
Lord ALTIIORP has again offered himself a
candidate for the county of Northampton,—who can
doubt his success ? A nobleman of such integrity,—so
distinguished by liberality of feeling,—so staunch a friend
I°Reform,--cannot possibly fail of his election. 'We say,
et the election be unanimous ! He is for the Bill—the
whole Bill—and nothing but the Bill'. This is the cry
of all England !—Morning Advertiser.
Nothing of any public interest took place in
any of the Law Courts this day, up to the time of our
going to press.

Despatches from France and Holland have
been received at the Foreign office this morning.
The public will be glad to learn that the very
successful author of " De L'Orme," " Darn'ey,” &c., trill
very shortly produce a new historical romance, to be en-
titled " Philip Augustus." The French Monarch, after
Whom the work is called, it will he recollected, accom-
panied our first RICHARD to the Holy Lind, where the
combined efforts of the two Monarchs were attended with
the most splendid success. Interesting as have been the
former productions of this Novelist, we think his present
story promises to eclipse them.
