THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T WEL VE 0' CLOCK.

We have an exceedingly blank morning for intelligence,
only one arrival from Calcutta, and that of an old date ;
this dearth of information causes a stagnation of the specu-
lations in the fun4s.

Consols opend at the same price they left off at yesterday,
83Y8 for the Account.

Great anxiety prevails for accounts direct from the
theatre of war in Portugal.
In the Foreign Market not a bargain doing as yet.
HALF-PAST ONE.
To the present hour of writing we are quite dull in the
city for want of information respecting the affairs of
Portugal and the Dutch question. It is now reported, that
the King of Holland makes a demand that all foreign ves•
eels arriving at the miuth of the Scheldt, with their
cargoes, are not to proceed up that river, but their cargoes
are to be taken out, and put on board Dutch small craft,
to be conveyed up the Scheldt.
It is 21 days since the last accounts were received
from Oporto, and it is rather extraordinary that we have
no official news from the theatre of war in that quarter,
by the way of France, although the letter received yester-
day fron Madrid of the retreat of Don Miguel's army
gains credit in the City, and in consequence of
which the Portuguese Scrip has improved , report
says that Don Pedro's ship (the Wellington)) was
still in the Downs, owing to no agent being on
board to agree with the seamen in respect to their
pay, in consequence of which a number of them have gone
ashore.

We give the above only as a report.
Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at
83i for the Account, have improved to 83/ 84, with little
doing. We do not us yet hear of an express from Paris,
but it is reported that the Rentes come lower. Nothing
has as yet transpired respecting the result of the Confer-
ences held yesterday, respecting the two notes sent to them
from the Hague.
Dutch Stock, which had improved in the early part of
the day, is not so good ; at present Portuguese Scrip is
looking up.

THREE (1' CLOCK.
Consols for Account, Siti 84.
