THE FUNDS.

The Hamburg Reporter of the 13th has arrived,—the Stock
Market was heavy on that day.
We are all anxiously waiting for further as rivals from Per-
tugal, which no doubt will prove important and interesting,
part icularly in respect to the operations of Bourmont before
Oporto, as well as the situation of the Duke de Cadaval. Mo_
lellos operations are of minor importance to that of the above
two generals.

Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday—.
PO for the Account ; not a bargain doing as yet.
The New York packet of the 16th is arrived off Liverpool
—letters and papers not as yet received.

The Foreign Market is void of interest at present.
HALF PAST ONE.
We have no further arrivals at present. The general topic
of conversation in the city relates to the intercepted corre-
spondence of Don Miguel's party, which was taken in the
house of the Duke de Cadaval on his retreat from L. sbon. A
~.e.ieral opinion prevails that the Duke and Molellos will be
bought over.

Consols, which were in the early part of the morning 89
are at present 89% to t,4, with little or nothing doing.
In the Foreign Market the favourite speculation is in Real
