THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Our arrivals this morning are few in number, of which
the Lisbon mail is the most important, brought by the
Espoir brig of war, which sailed on the 11th inst., and
from Oporto the 14th inst., bringing despatches from
Lord Howard de Walden, our ambassador at Lisbon; also
the confirmation of the evacuation of Coimbra and Fi-
gueiras : the former was taken possession of on the Bth
inst. by the Duke of Terceira, and the latter by Admiral
Napier. It also appears that the Spanish General Rodil,
with his troops, had joined the Duke of Terceira in the
south of Portugal. Bernardo da Sa was attacked by five
thousand of Don Miguel's forces on the sth inst. at Faro,
and, after a severe contest, the Miguelitesavere repulsed
with the loss of 3 to 4,000 men.
From Santarem we hear of no movement, which gives
us suspicion that Don Miguel is assembling all his forces
there ; and we shall soon hear of some desperate attempt
of his to gain Elvas, as he is certainly superior in cavalry,
by which means his infantry can make a good retreat to that
fortress, where they can hold out for some months ;
but, as he finds all his hopes lost of ever regaining the
throne of Portugal, by the late treaty of France,
England, and Spain, he will manceuvre to get the best terms
for himself and officers, and give up the contest.
The express from Paris is of minor importance, with the
exception of an article in the Augsburg Gazette, stating
that Russia and Austria disapprove of the late invasion of
Portugal by the Spaniards.
The various reports circulated at Paris respecting the
health of our King, were for stockjobbing purposes.
Consols opened at the price they left off at yesterday,
921/2% for the Account, and for next time 93 to )4, with
little doing as yet.
Owing to the favourable accounts from Portugal, Por-
tuguese Stock reached 80; at present it is 79 %% ; Spa-
nish, 36% 3/4.
The County of Pembroke was lying in the Tagus,
waiting to bring over the despatches and the treaty.

HALF-PAST ONE.

All the private letters received this morning from Lis-
bon confirm the intelligence already published in the morn-
ing journals; therefore we have nothing further to commu-
nicate at present.
In consequence of the favourable accounts from the
above quarter, some large purchases have been made in the
Portuguese Stock.
The private accounts from Spain has caused the He-
brew party also to purchase in Spanish Stock.
Consols may be quoted at present 92% buyers.
Spanish, 36% 3/4 ; Portuguese, 793/4.
It is just reported that the Bank is going to lend to the
public half a million more on the security of consols.

Consols, 92%.

To those who purpose assenting to the go-
vernment plan for the reduction of the four per cents.
a positive advantage is to be gained by the following
operation : £ s. d.
1001. 4 per cents, if assented, will pay in Oct. 2 0 0
in Jan. 0 17 6

2 17 6

1001. new 3% per cents. will pay in July ... X 1 15 0
in Jan.... 115 0

3 10 0

Making a balance of 12s. 6d. per cent. in favour of the
new 31r
per cents., supposing that stock to be pur-
chased. at. the same price as the 4 per cents., 1826, are
sold at ; but according to the present relative prices
there is a still further advantage of ors per cent. by
selling
.the 4 per cents., and purchasing new 31 per
cents., instead of assenting to the government plan.
The change must be made by the 27th instant, as the
28th is the last day for dissenting.
DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Mr. MAC-
READY, we understand, takes his benefit at this theatre
to-night, on which occasion he will perform the ar-
duous character of King Lear. Miss PHILLIPS will
play Cordelia ; and as the tragedy is throughout
strongly cast, we have no doubt it will attract a full
house.

They write from Vienna that M. de Tatis-
cheff, the Russian Ambassador, is to go for three
months to St. Petcrsburgh, and that the Poles must
leave Switzerland. _

M. Ancillon, Minister for Foreign Affairs,
has arrived at Berlin from Vienna.
