The Funds are 56. t S.

By a Decree of die Consuls of the Republic, the

• Letters have been received from Admiral Vt
NEUVE, dated Martiiripe, the 2ISt November,
at which Island he had just arrived from Guada-
loupe. He represents the latter Colony as being in
a most flourishing condition, and states that the
War with the Blacks is nearly finished.
Dispatches from Guadaloupe, dated the t sth of
November, state, that the situation of the Colony
was then much ameliorated, and that much had been
done towards the restoration of tranquillity.
A Courier passe► an 114 4th inst. through Rotes.
Lou, with the Conventiorn relative to the Indemni.
ties of the GRAND DUKE of TUSCANY, which he
was carrying to Vienna, to be submitted to.the ra.
tifteation of His IMPERIAL, Mn;es•rY.
A General Report of the Proceedings of the De.
putation of the Empire, has been made from that
Body to the Diet.
The news of the Defeat of the Ottoman Army in
Egypt, according to Letters from anituntinople
of the Bth ult. has been confirmed.

Two butehltia;l4 which tvere due, arrived this
morning. Letters from the Hague, dated the Ist
January, mention the deteelion of a Conspi,
racy which had been, formed against the Life of the
FIRST COMUL ; but wv consider this report as nct
entitled to the slightest credit, because we here re.
ceived the Paris Papers and private Letteri of as
late a date as the take no notirf: of suds
a circumstance.

Yrt consequence of the complete defeat of the
Turkish Troops in Egypt, the G!IAND SEIGNIOSt
has applied to'PAsswAN O,OLOt/ to undertake the
task of reducing the sebalious Beys to obedience ;
and tbg same account adds, that PASSWAtti eager to
prove the sincerity of his reconciliation with the
Porte, has acceded to the proposal,
Letters from Constantinopte state, that the British
Minister there has made a demand of 36 millions of
piastres for the expences of the War, declaring at
the same time, that as soon as that sum was
paid, the English would evacuate Egypt.—This
report is evidently, untrue, but it will proba.
bly afford a subjett of declamation for the French
Papers. , • ,

IT appearing that the Statement of the amount of
the Surplus of the Consolidated Fund, on the sth of
this Month, has been misunderstood, and considered
as less favourable than the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER had given reason to the Public to ex..
pth ;—we are happy to be able, for the satisfaction
of our Readers, to explain a few circumstances at.
tending it,
The average Surplus of the Quarters ending in July
and Odober last, having amounted to 1,9a0,0001.
while that on the sth of January, amounted only to
1,48,0°01. it has been supposed that a diminution
has taken place in the Revenue. The fad, how_
ever, is, that this apparent defalcation arises solely
from a Postponement of a Payment of the Customs,
proceeding from the unusual quantity of Sugar now
Bonded, and from a large Sum due from the East
India Company, the payment of which is suspended
during the adjustment of an Account between Go.
vernment and that Body. These sums together,
amount to upwards Of Soo,cool. which, if paid in,
would have made the Produce of the last Quarter
eonsideralAy above Alto average of the two pieced.

ing.
It must, howeVer, be observed, that the Di.
vidends, payable in January and July, exceed those
due in April and Onober, by upwards of One Mil.
lion ; and therefore that the ordinary Surplus of the
Consolidated Fund, in these Quarters, is so much
less.--And that Mr. ADLlngoroN only stated his
expenation of a Surplus of Six Millions and a Half,
in the year ending January 5, 1804.; a sum which
has been exceeded by the ;lanai Receipts of the year
ending January 5, 1803, which have amounted to
6,7 56,0001•

The alarm raised respeeling the determination of
the Court of Madrid to Insist upon the evacuation
of our settlement in the Bay of Homdurns, proves
unfounded. It is now ascertained that the requi.
sition on the part of the Spanish', Governor relates
merely to such parts and distriito of it as have been
acquired by conquest or encroachment (luting the
War.' The demand is, of course, strialy conform.
able to the Treaty of Amiens, which requires the
Contracting Powers to give up all territories they
have conquered, or occupied, daring the late con.
teat. Notwithstanding the execution of this part
of the Treaty, the British Colony in the Bay of
Honduras, will continue to enjoy all its former pos.
sessions and privileges.

The following is given on the authority of a
Gentleman who is just returned from Paris. The
FIRST CONSUL being desirous a short time since,
of decorating a Gallery at St. Clastd„ sera a verbal
Message to the Administrators of the Gallery or the
Laxvre, desiring that sixty of the best Cabinet Pic-
tures in that immense Cql lcdtion might be immediate-
ly sent to the Palace, The Administrators in reply
represented themselyr.g as the Guardians of a National

monstrance ; but in a few days the Board of Admi-
