THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are two Calais, two Ostend, and
one Dutch mails. We have also a Lisbon mail, by the Quail—
sailed on the 14th February ; a wail from Vera Cruz, by the
Briseis— sailed on the. 9th of January, Havana, 24th January ;
a Jamaica mail, and a Leoward Island, by the Reynard—sailed
from St. Thomas on the 30th of January.
Jamaica papers to the 24th January have been received at
the North and South American Coffee House. We find that
the apprenticed labourers in Dominica are, generally speaking,
still behaving themselves well, and working hard—a very. gra-
tifying report truly, and a great deal more we believe than can
with truth be said of the same class in many other islands or
colonies. . _ .

vv
The mail from Mexico left Tampico on the 2d of January,
and Vera Cruz on the 9th, bringing a freight of 37,000
dollars. The Republic was far from being in a peaceable
state. Several military officers and men of influence had been
arrested on a charge of conspiracy to overthrow the Go-
vernment.
The war Texas had not assumed any further appearance
of importance. Santa Anna was supposed to be with his
troops, who had left San Louis. Baxia had surrendered to the
Texians.

The Reynard has brought the Leeward Island mail, with
that of Jamaica. The advices state that tranquillity generally
prevailed.
The Quail cutter has arrived from Lisbon. The advices
state the Ministry and the Queen as not being on such terms
as afford a guarantee for their permanence in retaining office.
The discussions in the Chamber chiefly relate to the sales of
national property. The debate relating to the Tariff had not
yet been entered upon.
Another slaver is taken by His Majesty's ship Champion,
namely the Spanish schooner, the Diligentia, on the north
coast of Cuba, having on board 131 slaves. The crew of the
schooner ran the vessel on shore, and escaped with 10 of the
negroes, and the vessel was got off the fol►owing day. On the
23d Jan. the Champion detained and brought into Havannab
the brigantine General La Borde ; but the:Commissioners not
having the new treaty furnished to them, the ship was not con-
demned, although it was known that the cargo consisted of
about 300 slaves, which were landed before at Trinidad de
Cuba.

The slave-trade we are assured was never so brisk as at this
moment, as no less than 10 vessels entered the port of Havan-
nah while the Champion lay there, after having successfully
landed their cargoes at different parts of Cuba. Twenty-
three slavers are anxiously expected from the coast.
