THE FUNDS.--(TIAIS DAY.)

CITY, Trosr,rn o'CLoe.r.
Consols opened this morning at 87i the nearest
price for some time being 87k, but some unpleasant
rumours getting afloat, aided by some sales of Re-
duced, caused the Funds to become heavy, and Con-
sols are now 87i and Reduced, 861 1, after hav-
ing been done at 86g. The premium on L►dia
Bonds and Exchequer Bills has undergone no reduc-
tion, and remains, for the former, 71 3, and for the
latter 69 70.

The Foreign' Funds are in a state of idleness.
The confirmation of peace between Buenos Ayres
and Brazil has not had any important effect on the
latter Bonds, which after being 64k, are now sellers
at 64. Buenos Ares remain 48 50; and the fact
of the ratification, as it frequently occurs, appears to
have been discounted, and had it 3 effect some time
since. In Russian or Portuguese there is nothing
fresh to note—the former remain 951 i, the latter
531. Mexican are 33k, being a trifling advance,
probably occasioned by the accounts from Vera
Cruz, of the Ist of November, which state General
St. Anna's revolt to be at an end, and the General
himself endeavouring to escape to Guatemala, after
being deserted by his troops.
In Shares there is nothing doing.
A printed notice of contract has been issued at
Plymouth, for vessels to convey about 1,200 persons
from thence to the Brazils, and tenders will be re-
ceived till the 22d inst. for that purpose. We un-
derstand vessels had been taken up before, but their
qualifications were not deemed satisfactory on sur-
vey, and this has occasioned further delay. An in-
sinuation has been thrown out that the Refugees,
in the interim, may probably hear some favourable
news from Rio de Janeiro, which may protract the
stay of these unfortunate exiles.

TWO O'CLOCK:

Consols remain 871- 1, with scarcely any business.
A rumour of fitting out four sail of the line for the
Mediterranean has had existence.

TERSE O'CLOCK.
Consols for Account, 87i i.

A grandee and peer of Spain bas latterly
been breaking stones on a high road in the neighbourhood
London, at the rate of Is. a day, to support his wife and
three children.

THE DILEMMA.---It is ascertained that the
Congress at Wooton, has experienocd some unforeseen
difficulties, which have protracted .their sittings beyond
expectation : one thing is quite certain, namely, that
the confidential agent, who was sent on a Mission of Dis.
covery, has not yet made his appearance in town; and is
not, now, expected tOr souse days. As this is the period of the
year in which there is the greatest press of business in the
office over which he presides, the length of his stay is na-
turlly calculated to excite conjecture. The most probable
cause hitherto assigned for the difficulties which are not
denied to exist, is the avowed determination o❑ the one
side " to legislate and not to uegociate," and the hitherto
invincible reluctance on the part of the ostensible leaders
of the other to submit it to any thing bearing the appear-
ance of capitulation, which would be particularly un-
palatable after the high tone they have adopted. We are
almost prepared to expect a second edition of the Irish
Excursion, as some modifications on both sides are de-
sirable, and the -Employe, so unceremoniously ❑oticed in
some of the Irish papers, contrived to render himself
highly acceptable, while at the other side of the water,
where every thing like political or religious intolerance
was discarded, and their place supplied by great suavity of
manner, and a cordial acceptance of hospitable conviviality
without fastidious scruple or party distinction. Still, a,
the case stands, the difficulties in the way of mutual tip-
proxi mations in the views of the opposite parties, appear
very formidable. If the Premier cannot untie the Gor-
dian knot, he is known to be determined to sever it. Ono
thing we will venture positively to affirm, that it is in•
tended " to do something for the Catholics" in the ap-
proaching Session of Parliament...-Correspondent of the
Morning Chronicle.
