THE FUNDS.-THE LOAN.

Before nine o'clock this morning, the Royal
Exchange and Stock Exchange were crowded
with company, anxious to hear the terms upon
which the Lonn had been taken. The Gentle-
men who were to bill for it were to meet
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER at ten
o'clock ; at that hour business commenced, and
Consuls for the Account opened at 70i. The
Loan Contractors returned about half-past ten,
when it was announced that Mr. Roms-
CHILD was the fortunate bidder; the Omniorn
was then done at par, it afterwards rose to
11 Premium, and at 12 o'clock was at par;
it then ;ell to 1 per cent. discount, recovered to
one-halt per cent. discount, and at one o'clock
was 1 per cent. discount.—Consols fell to 6811,
but afterwards recovered to G 9, and again tell
to 661. Upon the taking of a new Loan
those fluctua►ions are customary, as it gives
the Subscribers to the other Lists and the
Public an opportunity of purchasing. The
opinion of the monied men is, that ()lithium will
be considerably better; as no new Stock can be
created until the sth of July next, to which day
the Commissioners will continue to take their
usual quantity of Stock off the Market. The fol-
lowing is a correct statement of the biddings,
front which it will be seen that there is near three
per cent. difference in the sums offered.

The only alteration made from the original
proposition of the Cm/kr:cu.Loa of the EXCHE-
aucx, was in the day for paying the second in-
stalment; it was represented that the 16th was set-
tling. Way, and tiirrer,,ns. the 2%1 ‘2f Juty was
agreed (Ton. It was lib ewise arranged,
that the Exchequer Bills should be received at
the Bank instead of the Exchequer Office. The
Commissioners were this morning served in Re-
duced, part at 64, and the remainder at 684.

Coniols for the Account are 09—Orunium l per
cent. discount. The Market looks better.

We receired this morning the Paris Papers of
Sunday last.. In the Chamber of Deputies on Sa»
turday, the discussion was continued through the
Sitting on that part of the projet respecting the
Estimates for the service of 1819 comprising the
Widget of the Dep<trtment of the Marine mid
Colonies, and was adjourned till Monday. The
following are extracts :

" Nats, JUNE G.—The letter of the Bishops

ANNAPOLIS, MAY GRAHAM and his
family arrived in this city on Saturday, and yes-
terday embarked on board the frigate Congress,
Captain HENLY. The British ship Forth, with
Mr. BAGOT and family on board, sailed early on
Tuesday morning for England.

(From a Charleston Paper of the 15th May.)

From Port-au-Prince we learn, by the arrival
of the brig Aurelia, that a Haytian frigate was
fitting out with dispatches to convey Gen. BOYZR
and suit to Jeremie, at which place a consider-
able force had been concentrated, to commence
active operations against Coma.

(From a Charleston Paper of the 13th May.

'We have seen a Gentleman just arrived from
llavannah, who states, that Admiral POPHAM
was at that place with three 74's and two frigates ;
that he was making arrangements with the Go•
vernor for the transfer of the Island of Cuba,
which, it was reported, had been ceded to the
British Government: A Letter received in this
City a few days past confirms the above report,
and further states, that implicit faith was put in
the rumour, when it was ascertained that it ori-
ginated from a letter of the Spanish Ambassador
at the Court of St. James's, to his friend in
Havannah.

We copy the following from the Board of the
New England Coffee-house:—

" BOSTON, MAY 17.—Arrived the ship Crut-
tendert, from Calcutta, via Isle of France, where
she put in in distress, and sailed again 12th Feb.
On January 12, lat. 12. IG. South, long. 84. East,
experienced a severe gale, which continued until
the 19th, and received considerable damage; on
the 17th, laying-to under her bare poles, had the
decks swept ; on the 20th, bore up for the Isle of
France, and anchored in Port Louis on 25th.—
The ships in the harbour received considerable
damage as well as the houses and plantations.—
During the hurricane, a large English ship was
totally lost, and most of her cargo ; another was
driven on shore and bilged, and several others
went on shore. While the Cruttenden was at the
Isle of France, the English ship Cochin and Thetis,
from Calcutta, (the latter dismasted) cause in in
distress, having thrown over part of their cargoes
thp abuvc ltsirrica►►c. Also a Portuguese ship
of GOO tons, from Goa, with loss of her masts.—
Also a Portuguese and English brig, both front
Calcutta, in great distress."

We sincerely lament the differences which have
arisen between the Government of Canada and
the House of Assembly, and which have ob
viously proceeded to an alarming extent, as will
be found in an article from Quebec Papers, in
our first page. We say alarming,, because the
American Government have displayed an insa-
tiable ambition, and nothing would gratify it more
than to get possession of Canada. That our
Rulers arc fully aware of the danger arising
from the differences in question, and the dis-
position of America, is evident by the naval
preparations to which we have before alluded,
and which, though not ostentatiously, are actively
putsued. But rumours of expected war arc
prevalent in many quarters, and none but the
shallow, peevish, and ignorant Brawlers of OPPu.
SITION would object to those fivanehl measures,
which, from all that we have heard, are ren-
dered necessary, as i:. is essential that we should

be prepared for events ‘l,'llich may happen we
know not how soon, but whicli, on several
grounds, may be expected, to disturb the tray'
quillity of Lorope. New changes of the Nl'
nistry in France are confidently predicted, and
the very uncertain state of its Government, nc)c
merely on account of the advanced age and
firmitics of the Sovereign, but of the numbers
of rival Factions which exist in that Kingdotr,
render it necessary for all Europe, as well as Oil
Country, to be upon the watch, and fully pre-
pared for consequences.

It has been observed in The Morning Herald °f
this day, that " no one knows what the Opp”
sition would do, if the helm of Government were
taken from their antagonists and confided 0
them." This is a pertinent observation, for though
the Parliatnentary Opponents of Ministers are
eternally clamouring against the measures r)(
Government, they shew nothing like Legislative
or Financial knowledge themselves. Mr. TutaNEr'
who seems to rake the lead, is chiefly distinguished
for growling declamation and sneering irony. Ile
wai born to banter but not to create, and hi°
eternal complaints and tauntings have sunk his
character so low, that the people on both sides
arc tired of the same dull repetition. When.
he was in place he was found wanting ill
the balance. lie can for ever object, but he caa
never propose. Therefore he is not the proper
man to take the lead he the House of Commons,
because he is obviously non-efficient in political
and legislative resources. As to EA GREY, from
his proposed Bill to remove essential bill'
warks against the inroads of POPERY, which he
deems mere feeble fences, but the proposed re-
moval of which has evidently excited alarm
throughout the country, it is equally obvious that
public confidence would not attend him if he were
permitted to take the lead in the House of Lords.
Thus the observation of the Writer in the sour'
nal above mentioned is answered with respect to
Mr. TIERNEY ; for every body knows that he could
do nothing; but as to Lord GREY, that it his fill
were carried he would do too much, and that it
would sap the foundation of our present Esta..
blishment in Church and State, and petnaps
finally overthrow the whole fabric of our
well-tried and unrivalled Constitution. We have
now fairly stated what might be expected of Op•
position, judging from their two Chief Leaden,
what they would do and what they would nut do,
" if the helm of Government were taken from
their antagonists, and confided to them ;" but we
may fairly add, that they would do what they
ought to do it they were to follow the oystens
founded by the Immortal WILLIAM PITT, by $
firm and persevering maintenance of which our
present Rules have saved the Country, and de-
livered Europe from a military despotism that
threatened to become universal.

'We learn, by Letters from Hanover, that their
Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CLa•

RENOE quitted that city on the morning of the
17th of May, carrying with them the love, re-
spect, and veneration of the inhabitants of that
city and kingdom. The improved health of the
amiable Duchess had again permitted her to ap-
pear in Society before her departure, but it was
evident that a removal to her native air, and a
more healthy climate, was imperiously required ;
and, indeed, from all that we have heard of
the character and endearing qualities of this
Princess, we consider her restoration to health
and strength as a subject highly interesting and
important to this Empire. The same letters in-
form us that the Royal Duke was in high health
and spirits, and that his anxiety for the recovery
of his illustrious Consort was the only reason of
his not returning immediately to his dear native
England ; but as his sole happiness appears cen-
tred in her welfare, he readily sacrificed his owa
comfort to her happiness. Their Royal High-
nesses s!cpt the first night at Eimbeck, and spent
the 18th in viewing the University and antiqui-
ties of Gottingen. We understand that the re-
ception given to their Royal Highnesses was
every where the most gratifying, and the marks
of attachment and respect the most enthusiastic.
At Gottingen, the whole students of the Univer-
sity paraded in the evening, opposite to the [Totel
where their Royal Highnesses lodged, with flam-
beaux and a band of music, chaunting God save
he King and Rule Britanniii, and they presented
an address of welcome, written in German verse
by one of their number, which was most gra-
ciously received. The loyal Burghers also went
through the same ceremony, with the colours of
the City Guard, and a more gay scene never was
witnessed in that ancient City. The degree of
LL.D. was conferred upon the Royal Duke by
the University. The Professors were individually
presented to the Royal Pair in the saloon of the
Library, and all were charmed with the affability
