THE FUNDS.

We understand that the proposition on the part of
Prussia to England is, that the French and Prussian armies
shall each retire to within 30 leagues of their respective fron-
tiers ; but if the French advance beyond their own borders
the Prussians assume a riz,ht, upon their part, to do the
same.

A mail from Malta and Gibraltar has arrived, but we
do not hear that it has brought any news of importance.
The French Funds, by the estafette, are, we hear, f per
cent. lt,wer-68f. 4.5 c.

The arrival of a French frigate at Spithead is supposed
to be the forerunner of the remainder of the Fl ench squa-
dron from Cherbourg, as it appears they only wait the
signal for sailing.
We do not hear of any later dates from Oporto. One
of the letters received states, that 20 friars, made prison-
ers, were brought into Otiorto on the 20th instant, who
were fighting desperately at the head of Don Miguel's
troops.

densols, which left off yesterday at 831 for the Ac-
count, opened this morning at the same price, and soon
afterwards went up to 84; at present they are 831 to 54.,
with little doing.
It is settling day in the Foreign Market, consequently
there iv not much doing as yet.

HALF-PAST ONE.

According to what is said in respect of Deitch and 13el-
gian affairs, there is every appearance that it will still he an
affair of procrastination. Ilia Dutch Majesty has solicited
the King of Prus►ia to interfere; the Conference have
sanctioned this request, and will wait the result of this
new negociation before any hostile demonstrations take
place. This is again a delay of time.

Consols are not so good as in the early part of the day,
when they were done at S 4 ; at present may be quoted
83i e. In the Foreign Market, the settling of the account
is going off well. The chief business doing is settling their
accounts.

A fine mottled seal, of rather large dimen-
sions, has lately been exhibiting in this town. It is
healthy and lively, is called Toby, and exhibits more saga-
city than is usually attributed to animals of that specie.;
it is nearly- five feet in length, when extended, but, owing
to its usual position, it does not seem much more than
three. It cries continually like a young child, and snaps
at anything held near it. —Sherborne Journal.
BRUSSELS, TUESDAY.—This afternoon a
very interesting ceremony took place here, which was the
opening of the Charleroi canal. The collieries of Ilainault
are very abundant and very rich, but that did not prevent
coals from being extremely dear at Brussels. The high
price is caused by the difficulties of transport, it being en-.
tirely effected by land carriage. The canal from Charleroi
to Brussels will remedy this. On the 22d of this month
the first coal-barges left Charleroi, aud reached the basins
of Brussels this evening. On that occasion the Minis!er
of the Interior, the Governor of the Province, the city
and provincial authorities, went out of the Fiarolers Gate,
to the 55th aud last sluice, to receive the col ier., a d the
first cargo has obtaiLed a premium,. of 51)0 fl ri
