THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK.

A notice, which was posted at Lloyd's this morn-
ing, from the Agent at Gibraltar, relative to the
occupation of the islands of Majorca and Minorca
by a French force, caused, for a moment, an extraor-
dinary sensation in the City; on reference to dates
and probabilities it has not obtained credit ; even the
Bears were unbelievers, and said it was too good
news to be true. Could this news be authenticated,
it would be an important feature in the affairs of both
this country and Europe generally. Mahon is con-
sidered one of the finest and safest harbours in the
Mediterranean Sea, its Dock-yard and Store-houses
are of the first order, and every thing tends to make
the station an important one to a naval power. Some
believe the report, and augur that the possession of
these Islands is intended as an indemnity for the
expellees of the French troops occupying Spain ; at
all events, if such is the case, it behoves John Bull
not to take such extraordinary and strong sleeping
draughts, or lie will at length find himself the laugh-
ing-stock of all Europe.

Consols opened at 871 -a, with some business; the
only variation has been, their receding to 871 1, but
rallied to their first price, at which rate they con-
tinue; and 8741 buyers for October. India Bonds
