BOUR,E OF AMSTERDAM JULY 28 —The market of the
public Funds was much agitated to-day, owing to the fear
that hostilities would take place between France and the
other Powers on the Eastern question, which was gener.
ally believed, oAirg to the conti,mation of the signature of
the treaty, and the fall of the French Funds. It is added
that more alarming news has arrived by an extraordinary
express, and the French Funds have again receded. In IN-
tegrals there were many sellers ; opened at 52. and fell to
511. At the middle period of the Exchange some purchases
were made for account of the interior, which caased tiM
prices to remain firmer, and they closed at lower than
yesterday, and after 'Change they remained at 51:1 to 37-, ;
the other funds also f •11. The act:cns of the Society of
Commerce were offered at 1701. but they gut up during
the Lionise to 1711 ; after the close they remained at 171.
In Ardoin's Spanish there was a great deal of fluctua-
tion, and a good deal of business; they fell to 20,f, but
got up again to 21, receded again t 5 201, at which price
they remained at the closing. Alter 'Change they were
dune at 20i.
