HAGFE.—BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, MAY J.—The trans-
actions in the National Funds have been of little import-
ance to-day, nevertheless the price were firm. In Foreign
Funds the market did not offer anything remarkable, oily
that a good deal was doing in Ardoin's Spanish ; although
the market was lower at Antwerp, the prices were more
firm here.

Consols opened this morning at the ]caving off prices
of yesterday, 91 to Money, and 911 for the Account,
and to the present hour there is not a feature in either of
the markets worth attention. Exchequer Bills 2.t '2'6

Our arrivals this morning aro from the United Ste4na,
per the Weymouth, 'by which we liar° receinod New York
Papers to the 11th -April, but they do net contain any news
of importance. Commercial affairs remain much in the
same state as by the previous accounts.

United States Bark Shares were 77f.
Tke United States ships, Colombia and John Adams,
have gone back to Canton. They sailed from Macao it
August last, fqr the Sandwich Islands, to proceed horao-
wards; but, by the Harvest whaler, we• gad they IsAlt
sailed from Ohio on the 10 h of Oatober'ttst, on their re.
turn to Canton; ercws of both ships were sickly. It is
probable that their services will be required to proteot
American 'commerce in those scat, when the English be.
gin the blockade or make their grand attack.
The private letters and papers from India have arri
this morning.
