THE FUNDS.-(THIS .DAY.)

CITY, TIVELVX O'CLOCK.
At present we have no arrivals, either of foreign mails or ship
letters, consequently we arc without any further political news.
THE FUNDS.
The chief topic of conversation among the citizens and specu-
lators relates to the debates in the House of Lords last night, as
well as the speech of Marshal Soult, in regard to the evacuation
of Belgium by the French troops ; in the first place there re-
quires some explanation of Soult's speech; there can be no
doubt that the French will not retire from Belgium until
the Dutch have entirely evacuated it; if not, the French
will have a pretext for their army to remain. 'fhe answer of
Lord Grey is also not approved of by the speculators, who remain
inactive, until they can see their way more clear. Negociations
will soon commence between the King of Belgium and the King
of Holland, which may last for some months, and in the interim
the Dutch may keep possession of the citadel of Antwerp, and
the French army will remain during that Iperiod in Belgium, for
as long as there is a Dutch soldier in Belgium there is no doubt
the French will continue there.

ALF-PAST ONE.
We still remain without any political news, and we understand
that it was a holiday at Paris on Monday, consequently we have
not heard of any express from Paris, and no further intelligence
has been received of the result of the majority in the Chamber
of Deputies. -
The Ostend and Dutch 'steamers will not arrive till late in the
afternoon.
Consols have been during the whole of the morning at
alternately buyers and sellers, with little doing.
The Foreign Market remains in much the same state as yes-
terday.

A Cabinet Council is summoned to attend,
this evening, at the Foreign-office, Downing-street.
There were no arrivals at the Foreign-office
this morning.
Some hope has been raised lately in favour of
the Polish cause, from the circumstance, that the Russian
Government, according to some accounts, which are '
received as authentic, is put to considerable difficulty
in raising funds to carry on the war. It is said,
that out of an issue of bonds, or Treasury bills, at
St. Peteraburgh, to the amount of 30,000,000 of rubles,
only 10,000,000 have got into citculation, and a• to
loans abroad, none are likely to be obtained either here or in
Paris, or in Amsterdam, or Hid ed in any of the money-
lending countries of Europe. In the present state of politics
the risk, in the estimation of one class of capitalists, is
too great to be encountered ; while, with another elass,who
are willing to go great lengths where gain is in view,
loans are refused because they wish to discourage war.
Not twelve months ago, a great capitalist, whose tone
is however somewhat lowered since then, made it his
boast that no monarch in Europe shou!d go to war with-
out his permission. The question, therefore, of bow the
Russians are to provide the " sinews of war" against the
Poles, is one much discussed in the money-market, and
forms as we have said, some hope for eh, ein incip it ion of
Poland.— Times.
