THE FUNDS.

For some time p Ist the public and our City specu-
lators have been agitated by the incapability of the King
of France and Marshrl Soult to form a new administra-
tion. This not only caused a stagnation in the operations
of the funds, but likewise had an elf ct on the decision of
the Conference and Privy Council, in regard to the decided
measures to be taken to bring the affairs of Holland and
13elgium to a speedy settlement.
At length the public are relieved by an express from
Paris, with the officitl appointment of the new French
Ministry ; but various are the opinions in regard to its sta-
bility, a. it is not an administration which will be popular
in France, but only tends to consolidate and strengthen the
King's power for the present. At all events it will have
the effect of bringing his Dutch Majesty to a speedy set-
tlement on the Belgian question, as it now appears that
France and England have come to a determination to
blockade the Scheldt, and reduce the citadel of Antwerp.
Surely Holland cannot resist long ; her commerce is every
thing to her, and if she attempts the destruction of Ant-
werp by bombardment, a French army is ready to take
ample revenge. Therefore we are still of opinion that his
Dutch Majesty only waits for an excuse to state to his na-
tion that he is compelled to make peace, as it would be
madness on his part to make resistance against the Five
Powers.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 841, opened at 84i
sellers, and are at present 844 buyers, with little doing ;
therefore the hostile operations going to take place against
Holland have had but little effect on our funds.

In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet.

Some deaths take place at private residences, from cho-

(From the Madras Papers.
They state that the war at Nanning continues, and up
to the 26th of April, 28 stockades were taken. Four 14 a -
five chiefs, from different parts of the Peninsular, were at
Nanning aiding and assisting the Government.
We have conversed with the well-informed in respect to
the blockade of the Scheldt, wbo give it as their opinion,
that it may still be prevented by the negociations which
are at present going forward at the Hague on the part of
the King of Prussia, who is very anxious to bring this im-
portant affair to a speedy adjustment. Therefore, we must
wait a few days before we can officially announce that im-
portant event.

The private letters from Rio JAneiro, by the mail, are
very favourable. Produce was then ten per cent. higher
than in England, and for which there was a great de-
mand. A small loan was expected to take place to pay
off the English claims. Exchange, 43:11 44.

Some of the illiberal journals are depreciat-
ing the military talents of Sir JOHN MILLET DOYLE, who
has just started for Oporto, to assist the cause of justice
and the Constitution against a despot and an usurper.
We suppose that the Duke of WELLINGTON is some judge
of military merit, and it may be presumed that he would
not have recommended Sir JOHN DOYLE to he a Knight
of the Bath, nor have invested him with a separate and
distinguished command in Spain, had he not been eon.
vinced that he was worthy of such distinctions. A more
gallant soldier than Sir JOHN does not live, and the
honours conferred on him by his Chief imply that lie was
in every respect an efficient officer.— Times.
The Journal de la Halle states that CHARLES
X. has opened a very large account with a banking-house
of Hamburg—a circumstance refuting the assertion put
forth by the correspondent of a London Paper, that his
Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON is collecting subscriptions
for the Ex-King of FRANCE among the Tories in London.
The Duchess d'ANGOIJLEME and the daugh-
ter of the Duke de BERRI arrived at Nuremberg on the 2d
instant, and set out the same day for Ratisbon. It is said
that the Emperor of AUSTRIA and the King of PRUSSIA
will have an interview at Toplitz.
THE MUM OF BRUNSWICK.—The strong
beer called mum, was so named after its inventor, CHRIS-
TIAN MUMMER, of Brunswick. It is brewed at Bruns-
wick only, and exported to various ports of England, and
even to India. —.Anglo Germanic Advertiser.
The Dutch lay it down as a maxim, that every
man who contracts debts lives at the expense of his
fellow-citizens, if be be poor; and of his heirs, if he be
rich.
