MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, T IrEL TS O'CLOCK.
We have no Liverpool letter as yet.
Our arrivals this morning are the French and Ostend
mails. There are no ship letters.
We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's
date. We extract the following :—" Accounts from
Vienna to the 21st Feb. state that as to the reported treaty
between England, Russia, and Austria, on the subject of
the Eastern question, nothing official was known there
respecting it, but it is the general opinion at Vienna that
in a month the Eastern question will be definitively settled,
as all the Powers are anxious to bring it to a conclusion.
EXCHANGE Al AMSTERDAM, MARCH 2.•—The market
for national funds, although that of London on Friday
last was without variation, was of an unfavourable ten-
dency, and some sales took place. The Society of Com-
merce Actions were offered for sale ; they opened at 1736.
but closed at Mi. In Ardoin's Spanish the operations
were very animated, and their receding at Paris and Ant-
werp, together with the unfavourable news from Madrid,
caused them to fall to 251. The Coupons were also lower.
Accounts from Antwerp state that by the intelligence
from Rotterdam it appears that the sea has been impeded
by the ice. In the Scheldt the ice is beginning to get
before the town. The vessels belonging to the Administra-
tion of Pilots, with those belonging to the Marine, are to
enter the basin this day.

Although we have no intelligence of importance, either
to affect the British or Foreign Markets, both of them have
rather a heavy appearance. Consols are nat so good as in
the early part of the morning, owing to an expected com-
munication for the funding of Exchequer Bills from the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, but as yet it has not made its
appearance ; it is rather difficult to ascertain the true state
of the various transactions in the House, owing to some
of the first-rate brokers doing business privately.
Consels may be quoted at present 90-1- for the Account ;
for Money they were done 94, at present 93k, no business
done to any extent. illoney continues at five per cent. in
the house. Exchequer Bills lower, 1 3 prem. ; India
Bonds, 2 dis.. par; India Stock, 249.

ing, this morning, in which considerable fluctuations have
