THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK
A Lisbon Mail has arrived, sailed,4oth April ; also a Buenos
Ayres, sailed 15th_ February; one from Rio Janerio, sailed 18th
March.

Extract of a letter received at the N. and S. American Coffee
-House, from Buenos AyreS ofthe 15th February. Tranquillity
not only continues in the'leAnce of Buenos Ayres but in
all the Argentine Republic, the'Governments of the different
provinces, are now constructed upon the federal system ; but
the Government of Buenos Ayres has lately issued some decrees
which have, caused infinite regret to their best friends, and
given their. enemies cause of triumph and ridicule. They pro-
hibit any one except a cit4en_of the country from being the
editor of a newspaper, or director of a printing office. The Go-
vernment is greatly distressed for money, the army has not
been paid since Augtist last ; but 'those in the Civil Depart..
ments of the State are paid regularlyevery month ; trade is at a
dreadfully low ebb,-and fcr these last three months we have had
scarcely any rain. •

(From the Buenos Ayres Par of Feb. II.)
FALKLAND ISLANDS.--These islands seem still destined
to occupy a prominent place in the affairs of nations, and the,
disputes relative to them in the year 1770, between 'Great
Britain and Spain, are now in a manner revived. Considerable
excitement was caused in Buenos Ayres on Friday last, upon
the arrival of the schooner Her del Rio, from Montevideo,
bringing an account of the proceedings of the United States
sloop of war Lexington against the colony. She anchored
there under the French flag; a Lieutenant and a number of
men landed in a boat; Captain Brisbane and Mr. Metcalf were
walking on the beach, the Lieutenant invited them to go on
board the Lexington, which they did; other boats also came
ashore with marines, and took off all the natives they could
find. Most of the natives of Buenos Ayres escaped into the
interior. The cannon were spiked, and Captain Brisbane was
put in irons.

General Queroga has given up the command of the auxiliary
division of the Indes and retired to Mendoza. An order of the
day, signed Queroga, on the 9th states that the indigence to
which the provinces have been reduced renders it necessary to
disband the infantry and cavalry.

The John Bull Calcutta paper of the 7th of January, re-
ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house, does
not contain any news. We have also an arrival from India
of the 9th of January. Nothing has as yet transpired of what
this ship brings.

A French Paper by the mail this morning states that during
the row at Marseilles the Duchess of Berry was near that town
in a steamer. On the vessel being observed, two light vessels
were immediately dispatched after the steamer.

One of the Morning Papers gives the death of Perier on Sa-
turday afternoon, had this beeticorrect, the Estajfrtte, published
in Paris, would have announced it.

We have made inquiry in regard to the death of the Presi-
bent of the Council, M. Perier, and we have been favoured
with the following :—" Baron de Rothschild, brother to N.
M. de Rothschild, Esq., has just arrived from Paris, which
city he left on Saturday evening, at eight o'clock—at that pe-
riod the French Premier was much better. All was quiet like-
wise in the provinces."

Canton papers have been received at the North and South
American Coffee House, to the 20th of December.

CANTON.-015 the Gth inst. the arrival of his Majesty's
ship Challenger, on the 4th, off Macao, was announced at Can-
ton, having been despatched by the Bengal Government, to
deliver a letter from the Governor-General of British India to
the Governor of a Canton province. We understand the pro-
posal is to depute an officer of rank to receive the letter at the
usual place appointed has been acquiesced in on both sides, and
we conclude will be immediately carried into effect.
Letters from Singapore state that his Majesty's ship Satellite
has passed that port to China. It Is also reported that Ad-
miral Owen, after proceeding to the Sand Heads of the Bengal
river to leave dispatches, had arrived at Pening. These notes
of war had occasioned a considerable degree of alarm in the
minds of the Chinese. The above papers contain the corre-
spondence between the chief of the factory, Governor Lee, and
the Hong merchants.

Consols have continued most part of the morning at 84 Ye 85

cussion of the Reform Bill in the Committee hangs heavy over
the market, and until its final result we do not expect specu.
lations of great magnitude.
Accounts have been received from Terceira, 'but they are
not of importance.

A curious fact has been mentioned relative
to the manner in which DON PEDRO'S expedition ob-
tained part of its supply of warlike stores. In the begin-
ning of 1830, a cargo, consisting of 1,500 rifles, with
3,000 regular infantry complete set of accoutrements,
with all other minor necessaries for 4,500 men, was
shipped for Brazil, but did not arrive 'there till after the
abdication of the EMPEROR had taken place. The new
Government refused to receive them, and they were
Regency.
brought back consequently to an English port, where they
were purchased by an agent of the Portuguese
—Times.
'lie Don John VI., fitting at Lisbon for
the attack of the blockading
out
squadron before Madeira, is
said to be go little seaworthy, that it will take three
months to equip her for service.
