THE FUNDS -(THIS DAY.'

CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK.
Hobart Town Papers to the 21st November have been
receiver at the North and South American Coffee house.
In the Paper of the 24th September we find that a
deputation from the Committee, at a public meeting held.
waited on his Excellency, stating that the inhabitants of
the town, finding front the Government orders of the 9,h
instant that it was his Excellency's desire that the whole
disposable force of the military should proceed to the in-
terior, for the purpose of capturing the hostile tribes, or
to expel them from the settled districts, it occurred to them
that a town guard might aid in so desirable an to jeer.
His Excellency's reply was, that it had given him
great satisfaction to learn the resolutions which were car-
ried at the meeting of the town, and lie gladly accepted of
the offer to perform the military duties Of the g irrison, in
order to enable him to augment the forces which will
shortly commence active operations in the interior.
(From the Hobart Town Paper of Nov. 21.)
On Wednesday morning the whole chain of pasts moved
forward simultaneously towards tl,e new position, and it
was calculated that the entire of the irtt wing would arrive
at the mouth of the river Sandspo, opposite Maria Island,
on the evening of the 20th instant. The result of the
advance would, theretiire, it was hoped, bring the cam.
paien to a close within a few days.
S ace writing the above we have received despatches
from the line, dated on Thursday, and we are enabled to
state the certainty of considerable members of the blacks
being not only within but close upon the lines. Two se-
parate tribes were seen on Wednesday in front, and another
on Tbursday near the Bream Crick, and it is reportc.,
that a white man accompanied Wen.
With the an ival of the Deverenx the quantity of it
caught by vessels belonging to this port now amounts to
upwards of 1,000 tone, a greater quantity than has ever.
oeen known in this colony.
Accounts from the Hague state that the Belgians hays
offered to the Dutch four millions of florins for Luxelo-
bourg; they also want to purchase Maestricht.
THE FUNDS.
The express from Paris this morning is important, par-
ticularly as regards the great rice in the French ilente3,
about 3i per cent., which greatly astonislTti our specula-
tors. The cause is attributed to the Fri mil Bank having
agreed to advance the remaining instalments of the French
Lean,—the Bank to he allowed four per cent. interest;
,ilso that the interest of the Bons Royal are to be reduced to
tour per cent. : they were oriainaily five per cent. In
consi'quence of the above information, our Funds have
improved one per cent. this morning. Consols, which
'eft off on Saturday at 82i to I for the Account, opened
at 83i to la at which price they are at present, with a
good market.
In the Foreign Funds there is little doing.
Console are now 83, sellers.—The news from Portugal
pleases our citizens.

Neither the Dutch or Hamburg steamers have us yet
