THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T IVEL VE 0' CLOCK.

The letters by the Alban steamer have been delivered
this morning from Oporto, but not of a later date than
the 15th, the substance of which we gave yesterday. The
above steamer also brings a mail from Malta and Gibraltar.
She sailed from Malta on the 28th July, and from Gibraltar
the 9th of August.
Accounts have been received at Lloyd's by the above
conveyance from Oporto of the 15th, stating that at nine
o'clock that morning only three of Miguel's squadron were
in sight. The weather was hazy, and they could not see
any of Pedro's ships. They were fitting out at Oporto
four vessels to join Pedro's squadron. All was quiet at
Oporto. By the above information it would appear that
something must have happened during the night of the
14th between the two contending squadrons to cause part
of Don AI iguel's ships to sheer off towards the westward.
In all probability they are going to return again to Lisbon,
before Sartorius receives his reinforcements.

We have the following by the French mail this morn-
ing :—Answer given by King Leopold to the Address of
the Chamber of Commerce of Tournay—" 1 receive with
great satisfaction the sentiments and respect expressed
towards me and my Queen ; and I am still occupied for
the welfare of the country. lam also aware of the ques-
tion now pending on the navigation of the Scheldt. A
country cannot he happy if it does not possess the advan•
tage of commerce ; and the liberty of the Scheldt can only
assure that of ours. I shall never accede to disadvanta-
geous conditions. For several days past alarming reports
have been spread on that subject, but they have no foun-
dation ; and I know well all the exigencies which Holland
requires ; but we are not the only ones interested in the
liberty of the Scheldt. Do not be alarmed, gentlemen ;
onr affairs are in a more advantageous situation since my
last journey amongst you Let the BeL4ians continue
their courage and their noble patience, and place their
confidence in me, which will procure to them the end they
desire; and I have every hope that the time is not distant."
From Brussels they state, that previous to the depar-
ture of Van de Weyer he had an interview with King
Leopold. His Majesty is stated to have said to him,
" Now depart ; you know your instructions given to you
at Compeigne, and act accordingly. I wish that you
obtain immediately the evacuation of the citadel of Ant-
werp ; but if your colleagues should wish to retard it, do
not consent. France is on our side, and means will be
taken to obtain the execution of the promises made to us."
The following are further particulars received from Fal-
mouth this morning from Oporto, of the same date as the
last accounts .—No military operations of any magnitude
had taken place. There was a skirmish at Sonto Re-
dendo, four leagues on the Lisbon road, between the
light division of Don Pedro and a part of that of
General Povoas ; the former, as usual, disloged the latter
from its positions, but a false alarm disappointed the con-
stitutionalists. Don Pedro was organizing considerable
forces. His army, however, was confined to the city,
whilst the forces of Don Miguel extended their line right
and left, forming a cordon, round the city, with a radius
of about 10 miles. All communications with Vallongo
and Avantes being cut off, Gaspar Temeiro was appointed
Commander in-Chief, and Sir John Campbell had arrived
at the head-quarters of General Povoas.
