THE FUNDS.

CITY, Twelve o' Clock this Day.
Consols opened this morning at 79# , for the account, and
79i I, for money; no variation up to this hour has occurred,
and prices inay be quoted as above. The Commissioners have
been supplied at 784 to #, for Reduced. The speculators seem
completely at a loss to know how to turn their accounts, whether
for a fall or rise, although it is supposed there is a strong party
for the latter. This is settling day in the Foreign Funds, but
every thing is dull and uninteresting.

rogued by Commissien. The Commissioners were—the LORD
CHANCELLOR, the Archbishop of CANTEREItikt, Marquis of
CONYNGHAM, Earl of HARHOWEY, and Earl of SHAFTESEtiRY.
The Royal Assent was given to several Bills.
After which the Lord CHANCELLOR read the following
Speech :

MT Loans AT4.171 GENTLEMEN,
His Majesty commands us to inform you, that the state of
the public business, enabling his Majesty to close the Session at
a period of the year the most convenient for a General Election,
it is his Majesty's intention to dissolve, without delay, the pre-
sent Parliament, and to direct the issue of Writs for the calling
of a new one.

His Majesty cannot take leave of you without commanding us
to express his Majesty's deep sense of the zeal anti public spirit
which you have constantly displayed in the discharge of your
several important flinctions.

His Majesty particularly acknowledges the promptitude and
discretion with which you have applied yourselves to the objects
specially recommended to you by his Majesty at the commence-
ment of this Session ; and his Majesty confidently hopes, that the
good effect of your deliberations will be manifested in the improved
stability of public and private credit.

His Majesty has the satisfaction to inform you that the distin-
guished skill, bravery, and success, with which the operations of
the British Arms in the dominions of the King of Ave have been
carried on, have led to the signature, upon highly honourable
terms, of a preliminary Treaty with that Sovereign, which his
Majesty has every reaoon to expect will be the foundation of a
*genre and permanent peace.

His Majesty further commands us to repeat to you, that his
Majesty's earnest endeavours have continued to be unremittingly
exerted to prevent the breaking out of hootilities among Nations ;
and to put an end to those which still unhappily exist, as well in
America as. in Europe.

GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS,
His Majesty commands us to thank you for the provision which
you have made for the service of the year.
His Majesty's attention will be constantly directed to the re-
duction of the public expenditure, in every degree that may be
consistent with the due maintenance of the security, honour, and
interests, of his kingdom.
MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

We arespecially commanded to assure you, that his Majesty's
paternal feelings have been deeply affected by the distresses which
have prevailed among the manufacturing classes of his Majesty's
subjects; and by the exemplary patience with which those dis-
tresses have been generally borne.

His Majesty trust*, that the causes out of which the partidi
stagnation of employment has arisen, are, under the blessing of
Providence, in a course of gradual abatement.

His Majesty is confident, that your presence and example, in
your several countios, will contribute to maintain and encourage
the loyal and orderly spirit which pervades the great body of his(
people.

And hie Majesty relies upon your diepoeition to inculcate that
harmony and mutual good-will among the several great interests
of the country, upon which the common prosperity of them all
essentially depends.
