THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

At length we have an arrival from Oporto and Lisbon ; the
former of the 20th inst. and the latter to the 19th, with long
and ample details of most interesting and important events.
The action between the two rival squadrons ended in a drawn
battle. It is most important that Miguel'. 74 gunship has
been so disabled in the action, that she will not be able to put
to sea again for some time to come. Don Pedro's ships have
also been severely mauled, and Sartorius slightly wounded;
but the most important affair is a grand attack on the Serra con.
♦ent. Both parties fought to desperation; at length the Mi-
gueliter were repulsed with great loss.

We have seen private letters from Oporto, confirming all
that is stated in the Morning Journals, aad that Don Pedro
was making extensive preparations to receive the Miguelites'
general attack on this day.

For several days past we have had continued reports of
war and peace with the Dutch, but this morning we have it
currently reported and credited, as we stated yesterday in
our City article, that the Cabinet of Prussia would settle the
affairs of Belgium and Holland without resorting to hostilities.
In consequence of which, Consols, which left off yesterday at
83ii for the Account, opened at the same price, and soon
after went up to 8.4 ;at present they are 811. Dutch Stock
has also improved 1 per Cent. ; done at 42 N, since which they
have again lowered to 41 /S.
The estafette from Paris brings the Rentes lower 70 Cents.,
owing to the conflicting reports in the above capital respecting
the three Continental Powers who oppose the French entering
into Belgium.

In the Foreign Market, Dutch Stock has improved ; Portu-
guese Scrip, 4to 3 discount.

HALF-PAST ONE.

We understand by private Information from Lisbon that
great disappointment prevails there, and fear is entertained
that some disturbances will take place.
Report says that the Dutch Ambassador has received de-
spatches from his Court of a favourable nature in regard to the
tonnage-duty on the Scheldt, a part of which the King of Hol-
land gives up, as well as some other points of less importance.
In the early part of the morning there was a great bustle in
the Consul market, and a good deal of business doing, owing
to a general opinion that the affairs of Holland have taken a
favourable turn ; indeed the address to the King is a great
deal more mild than was anticipated.
In the Foreign Market Dutch Stock and Russian is not so
good as in the early part of the day.

THREE O'CLOCK.
