THE FUNDS.

Up to the present time we have no farther accounts
from the theatre of war in Portugal, but as the wind
proves fair we may expect daily arrivals from that quarter,
which are eagerly sought for.
The Funds are steady at present, and opened at the
same price they left off yesterday, 84 to 1,1- for the Account,
and 831 IT for Money, with little or nothing doing.
This being pay day for the settling of the Account, the
Brokers are busy in paying and receiving their differences.
The Foreign Market is also in a state of stagnation.

HALF-PAST ONE.
By the French mail this morning we have received the
following :
Accounts from Brussels state that General Mereaux will
immediately depart for Berlin, as Minister Plenipotentiary
from the King of Belgium.
Accounts from Tripoli, of the 17th of July state, that
the English Consul has declared war to the Pacha, who
for several years has not fulfilled his engagements with the
English Government, and only ,18 hours have been given
to him to pay the debt of 200,000 pistoles. The Consul,
his family, and those under his protection, to the number
of 1,500, were making preparations to embark, should
the war take place.

A French Paper states, that letters from Spain mention
that a foreign regiment, in the Spanish service, has re-
ceived secret orders to form themselves into guerillas, and
enter Portugal.
New Orleans papers have been received at the North
and South American Coffee-house, to July 21, which
state that the schooner America had arrived there from
Matamaras, with 240,000 dollars on board. She left Rio
Grande on the Bth inst., and reports that the armed fleet
of Santa Anna were at anchor off Brassos de Santiago.
When she left the troops had landed and taken posses-
sion of the towns of Brassos and Matamaras without any
resistance. Tranquillity prevailed, all being in favour of
Santa Anna.

Consols are at present 84i for the Account, and 83Z-
for Money, with little doing, except in paying and re-
ceiving the accounts.

We endeavoured, about eight or ten days
ago, to draw attention to the commercial tyranny exer-
cised by Prussia over the smaller States of Germany,
through the medium of what she calls commercial treaties,
and we promised some further remarks on the subject, but
press of other matter compelled us to discontinue the dis-
cussion. It has, however, lost none of its importance,
and appears even to gain in interest by its complication
with the political qnestions involved in the late decrees
of the Diet, to which the English public showed them.
selves so much alive. We refer our readers to an excel-
lent letter on this subject, confirmatory of our reasonings,
from a Hamburg correspondent, who informs us that our
German allies, after endeavouring, without success, to
exclude English merchandize from that free and inde.
pendent republic, have prohibited the publication of an
English Journal. Our readers must have seen in the
quotation of news from the north of Germany the name
of the Hamburg Reporter—a paper which, so far as we
have ever observed, never meddled with German parties
or politics. This paper, from being written in a foreign
language, and from being devoted rather to intelligence
on trade than to political discussion, could not be alleged
as dangerous to German tranquility. Its suppression
was therefore demanded from mere tyrannical wantonness
by the chief despot of the confederation, and agreed to
from mere timidity on the part of the Hamburg autho-
rities. This shows the working of the system, and
points out the manner in which the late infamous de-
crees will operate against all freedom political or coin-
