" FROM SOUTH ANILRICA.—Captain DANToN,
of the brig Junius, arrived at Philaddphia in 33
days from Bahia, informs, that it was reported
that Montevideo and itto Grande were taken by
the army of Buenos Ayres, and that part of the
troops sent front Bahia against Pernambuco had
joined the Independents. A native Priest had
been detected and executed as a spy and emissary
at Bahia, a few days after being landed in the
night near that place, front a small vessel dispatch-
ed by the Governor of Pernambuco. Nupterous
letters to indiyidua!s in that province were taken ;
but being directed in cypher, and the Vilest re-
fusing to name them, the secret died With him.
His last words%vere, " I die foi:liberty,--My coon-.
try, and her independence.",
,lle,was a handsome
man, about 50 years of agei.'?,

THE FUNDS.—From the cmidusin cif business
on Thursday, until 12 o'clock this clay, there has.
been a depression in the Funds of two per Cem,
and the market this morning appears very heavy ;
Consols have . been done for the August Aceount
at 79.1, at one they were 804, and .scarcely any
purchasers. This fall is attributed to the immense
quantity of Stock which continues to be sold by
the Scots and Country Bankers, to meet the de-
mands of their customers for balances in hand,
and also to a depression in the price of land.
Many persons, taking advantage of the present
high price of Stock, sell out, and make purchases
of the former ; still the Monied Men continue
firm in opinion that a re-action will take place,
and that before settling day there wilt be a great
rise.

The observations which appeared in THE SUN
of yesterday respecti4 the alledged jealousy of
the Russian Government, in reference to the hour-
, ishing and extensive range of British Commerce,
11-11, we find, and as we might, indeed, naturally
expect, made a great impression in the City. Oar
readers will recollect, that we did not presume to
vouch for the truth of the imputations cast on
the Russian Cabinet, importing. that, not from
the .discontented Buonapartists, but the Cabinet
in question, issues all those offensive attacks
upon Great Britain, similar to that which ap-
peered in the Ghent article, and was inserted
in our Paper of Wednesday last. We observe
in the Morning Papers of this day, an inte-
resting article, said to have been .transmitted
from Frankfort, but without date, -and there.
fore, for ought we know, it may be of home ma-
nufacture, but as it Conlesponds with what we said
yesterday respecting the rumours on the Conti-
nent, which ascribe to Russia the insulting charges
against Great Britain, that so often appear in the

potent reasons for sufferirg their promulgat►on,
will fully justify stispkion on the part of the
English Nation, and seems in no slight degree to
demand the vigilant notice and profound consi-
deration of our Rulers.
