We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's
date.

BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM', MARCH 23.—The Bourse was
less animated, and the prices not so well sustained in respect to
the national funds.

By the arrival of the Patrick Henry from New York, which
gaged on the Bth instant, we have received the Montreal papers
to the 3d of March, and Quebec to the 28th of February.
The Montreal papers are void of intelligence. The Quebec
papers state from Kingston that the weather, for the last fort-
night, has been very mild for the season, and the market con-
tinues to be well supplied.
. .

The following appeared at the Exchange Reading-room:—
" A letter from Toronto, dated 15th of Februat y, states that
accounts had just reached that place that Colonel Prince bad
been shot by the Americans at Sandwich."
A letter from Mayaguey, dated 3d of February, gives further
particulars respecting the destructive fire which took place
there, by which it appears that the entire loss by the fire is
estimated at about two and a half millions, and from 20 to
25,000 quintals of coffee have been consumed. The fear that
a revolt of the negroes might break out, is at present entirely
suppressed. The strictest vigilance on the part of the Whites
had been observed, and the confusion is not by any means as
great at present as during the preceding days. The Governor-
General is expected every moment to arrive from the capital.

Accounts from Monte Video of Dec. 21 state it was reported
to-day that they are digging trenches round the city of Buenos
Ayres.

!HD FUNDS.

The great anxiety which has been expressed in the City for
further intelligence from the United States, has at length been
allayed by the arrival of the Patrick Henry, at Liverpool, which
sailed from New York on the Bth instant, with intelligendb f
seven days' later information, by which it appea s that affairs
are taking a more pacific turn.
The Congress has also taken a more peaceable view of the
relations between England and the United States, in respect
to the maintenance of peace with England. (For further ex-
tracts from the American papers, we refer our readers to another
part of the paper.) The exchange upon England 7b 8; United
States Bank Shares 18.

In consequence of the above favourable intelligence from
New York, the British market funds have risen full per cent.
on the leaving off prices of yesterday, closed at 88* al for the
account at present 8,:i1 ; money 88s I ; Exchequer Bills 57.
