THE FUNDS -(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T WEL VE O'CLOCK.

The express from Brussels this morning is of impor-
tance. At length the Conference of London have broken
silence, by the publication of two protocols—the first
dated the 31st of March, and the second the 5 h of April.
In the first it is stated that the four Powers have been of
an Opinion that the exchange of the ratification of the
14th December should take place simultaneously with the
ratification of the treaty of the 15th of Novemb:r ; in
consequent..e of which it has been agreed that a further de-
ll for the exchange of the ratifications should he pro-
posed to the Bel;ia❑ Minister, with an assurance that the
four Courts approve completely of all the stipulations of
the convention of the 14th December, 1831, and regard
it at a definitive arrangement. The second protocol is of
more importance, as it unmasks the intentions and views
of the three Northern Powers. They are no doubt wait-
with the King of Holland, the issue of our Reform
Bill.

The second Protocol states that the Plenipotentiaries of
Austria, Prussia, and Russia, are not yet authorised to ex-
change the acts of ratifications of the Treaty of the 15th of
November, and gives an excuse for their delay, that they
are using all their influence at the Hague, to enga,:e his
Dutch Majesty to accede to the 24 articles, and that the
three Powers had given the most convincing proof of their
desire to co-operate, for the accomplishment of the views
of their allies for the presery ition of tranquillity in Europe,
and that the result of the last remonstrance made to his
Dutch Majesty by Austria, Prussia, and Russia, is still too
recent to have permitted the three Powers to send defini-
tive orders to London, but they are in hopes to receive
them directly. Thus ends the apology of the three
Powers for the non-ratification, and by which it appeals
that these Plenipotentiaries have sent to their different
Courts for fresh orders how to act, which will cause a
further delay, until they receive their new instructions.
The other arrival this morning of importance is the
estafette from Paris, with the still Intl incholy account
of the continual progress of the cholera in Paris and its
environs, by which we are informed that twenty-four hours
preceding the 9th lout. the new cases were 1,020, died

By the French mail this morning we have received the
following:—" A private letter from the frontiers of Po-
land confirms the statements in the German journals of
the arres's of a great number of young Poles at W4rsew,
caused by the discovery of a plot, and in which a Russian
General was compromised and condemned to death."

Another private letter from Perm, frontiers of Siberia,
states that every day pass that place convoys of 150 to
200 unfortunate Poles, to Siberia ; before they go their
heads and beards are shaved. The numbers already
passed
are estimated at fifty-seven thousand men,
eight thousand of whom are doomed to work at the mines.
.Am,rigat them was the Countess of S banska, who has
followed her husband to Siberia.

A private letter from Antwerp states that at no period
since the revolution has that town appeared so terrible as
at the present,—the works of defence are continued with
energy on every side of the town, as pierced redoubts, bas.
tions, batteries and entrenchments, with pieces of forty-
eight pounders, and thirty-six inch mortars, &c.
Accounts from Portugal represent that great desertions
take place in the army united on the banks of the Tagus.
Letters from Oporto state the same of the army in the pro-
vince of Minho. T;,e state of Lisbon is very suspicious.
Quarrels daily take place between the troops and the coun-
try people.
