remedied, but the accident—if such it was—occurred
at a most unseasonable juncture. If the delay amounts
to a rejection of the Bill altogether by the Ca-
binet, in consequence of a change in the „Royal
Councils, not only will America be more incensed
than ever, but other nations will here have an instance
of vacillation which few Sovereigns have ever shown
with impunity. We have not learned what language
was made use of by Mr. LIVINGSTONE on receiving
the KING'S Message ; but we have reason to know
that he will lose no time in demanding his passports,
and returning with all speed to Washington.
But the difficulties which surround this question
do not end even here. Were the French Minis-
try to introduce the Bill for defraying the
claims of America, it is doubtful whether the Depu-
ties would not again reject it as unceremoniously as
they did on a former occasion. The Opposition are
bent upon this course, and fears are entertained that
on this question they would command a majority. The
sum demanded is but a million sterling, which, for the
sake of peace, the KING might be disposed to pay out
of his own coffers, but this France would never tole-
rate. Taking all these matters into serious account,
we are inclined to believe that a war between France
and the United States of America is all but inevitable.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Both the public and the speculators in the funds were greatly
surprised this morning, by the important information received
by the express from Paris, with an official account of the King
of the French having recalled his Ambassador from the United
States. Also, that the French Minister of Foreign Affairs
notified to the American Ambassador at Paris, that the neces-
sary passports for his return are ready for him.
The above publication, at Paris, caused a great sensation
there ; but the French Funds did not experience any fall of
consequence, they left off at 76 90 ; Spanish, 24 ; Cou-
pons, 24i.

THE FUNDS.
The British Funds remain firm ; Consols opened this morn-
ing at 92 1 for the Account, with little doing, as yet, in the
Foreign Market. With the exception of Spanish Bonds, most
of the other securities remains at the closing prices of yester-
day. Belgian, 991 ; Brazilian, 84 4 ; Chilian, 331 ;
Columbian, 321- 4 ; Danish, 36+ 4 ; Dutch, 1008 ; 21 per
Cents., 534 54 ; Portuguese, 861 I; Spanish, 561.
This is settling day in the Foreign Market. As yet we do
not hear of any failures.

HALF-PAST ONE.

The funds which receded in the early part df the morning,
both British and Foreign, have since resumed a firmer appear-
ance, owing to an opinion in the city that no actual war will
take place between America and France; but this is only opi-
nion at present, as no positive grounds can be found until we
have the important debates on the subject in the Chamber of
Deputies, which it is expected will arrive to-morrow, and which
will decide the question.
Consols, which were in the morning 92, sellers, are at pre-
sent 92i- to 4 for the Account.
Money is exceedingly plentiful in both markets. Exche-
quer Bills, 42 3, India Bonds, 21 2.
In the Foroign Market the settling of the account is going
off well at present, as no defaulter has been declared. It is a
Bear account both in Spanish and Portuguese, and the ex-
treme fluctuation in Spanish Stock has been about 3 to 4 per
cent. Spanish is 561 s ; Portuguese, 88-4-,
L"• Dutch, 5
THRE' O'CLOCK
Consols for the Account, 921/8 A.

MIDDLESEX ELECTION.—SeveraI tradesmen have
commenced subscriptions of small sums, towards defraying the
expences of Mr. Flume's Election, at Mr. Mannings, 39,
Lower Islington-terrace, and those desirous of contributing-
their mite to assist the same, will, we trust, lose no time in
doing so• . .

The Duke of Devonshire comes to Devonshire-
house to meet the Earl and Countess Granville, who are ex-
pected there to-morrow from Paris. The Noble Duke has
been visiting this week, the Dowager Countess of Burlington
and Lady Caroline Cavendish, at Compton-place, Sussex.

The Duchess of Saxe 'Weimar, the illustrious sister
of the Queen, accompanied by her family, is expected to arrive
on a visit to their Majesties in the course of the ensuing Spring.
The party will be taken on board at Antwerp. Her Highness'
husband, Duke Bernard, has not yet visited this country.—
Brighton Gazette.

THE EMBASSY TO THE FRENCH COURT.-
This appointment, now vacant by the recal of Earl Granville,
who delivered his letters of recal at the Tuileries on Monday
last, is the most splendid diplomatic mission in the gift of the
Ministers. The salary is 10,000/., with a house provided ;
and the full outfit is 4,0001.

One of those large mansions in Belgrave-street, ad-
joining the Earl of Munster's, is taken for a Club House, to
be called the Munster.

An elderly single lady, named Robion, at Annot,
in the Basses Alpes, was seen on Christmas-day at the morn-
ing and evening services at the church, attended by her female
servant. Neither, however, having made their appearance
during the whole of the next day, the neighbours became
alarmed, and had the house broken open and entered, when
the bodies of both were found dead, each placed in an arm-
chair on the sides of the fire-place. A sum of 15,000 francs,
belonging to the mistress, and another of 1,800 francs, the
savings of the maid, had been carried off.

Several thieves have lately been arrested in Paris
belonging to a new denomination of the children of Mercury.
They are termed Voleurs ala cire. Their practice, which
they have carried on for a long time greatly to the detriment
of the restaurateurs in Paris, was as follows :—One of these
gentry enters a café, where he dines splendidly, and, in the
course of the dinner, contrives to fasten a cover or other valu-
able article of silver beneath the table at which he sits by
means of a large piece of very elastic wax. He remains for
some time at table, and if the concealed article is missed, he
insists on being searched, and leaves the house overwhelmed
by the excuses of the host. After he is gone, another of the
same clique comes to dine at the same table, removes the
waxed cover, pays for his dinner, and retires speedily. Upwards
of 50 robberies of this kind have been ascertained to have
oc-
curred, committed by two confederates a la cire.

THE TRALEE VlCTORY.—Maurice O'Connell's
return for Tralee is considered the most extraordinary inci-
dent of the present struggle. The enemy spent two years in
the most assiduous and unfortunate canvass. They are the
owners of the town. They spent money with unheard-of pro-
digality. There were twenty of the O'Connellites who were
put hors du combat by neglect of registering. In short, every
thing considered, the triumph may, without exaggeration, be
called the wonder of the campaign.—Dublin Morning Register.
" If you wish to annoy Sergeant Spankie, in an
inoffensive way," says one barrister to another in the Court of
Common Pleas yesterday, " ask him for a frank." " Not I,"
said the other, " I scorn to throw water on a drowned rat."
This excited considerable laughter, which Sergeant Spankie,
who was standing outside the benches unrobed, perceiving to
be at his expense, he immediately left the Court.
PARIS, JAN. 13.—Accounts frond Bayonne of the
9th did not content the frequenters of 'Change : some thought
fit to announce that Mina having been beaten and forced to
return to Pampeluna, had been assassinated on returning to
that City. We have been unable to discover the source of
this report, which we believe we may without hesitation declare
t to be a fiction.
