[Morning ( hronicle.l

We understand that the Treaty mentioned to
be on foot between our Uovertimeot and Spain,
for lb. supply of ten millions of doll trs in specie,
will in all prohability not he carried into fleet.
The King of Spain himself derives no trveune at
pirsent from the Alexicau Provinces, for what-
ever the Viceroy can collec, is expended in the
support of a large army, and he is himself, h'e-
sides, in great arrears. It is the money., there-
fore, belonging to individuals that is coining to
Europe, and on its entry into Spain it pays 7 or
8 per cent. duty ; if, therefore, it is remitted
through another channel, this amount Ivonfd h,
lost to the Spanish Treasory. When first *hipped,
specie pays 2i per cttit., so that with all the
of hot chokes the operation woold be expenbive,
if the home duties were also included in (Le...pre-
mium. "

the middle of September, had reached Rio Ja-

the Veneeur, 74, and the Hyperion, 40. Mr.
Thornton, our Mini,ter to the Brazils, went out
in the Superb. The Hyperion was to sail a
few days afterwards for the River Plate, in Ties(
of the Cleole. which had been upon that `ration

leached. Their obj,ct is supposeu to be to watch
the conduct of the Insurgent fleet of Lord Cur It-

Ayres to the 22d September, by which we learn
that considerable efforts were making. to repulse
the expected Expedition from Spain. The Go-

dollars per month. Bs the same conveyance we
learn that a body of 500 of Artigas's troops had
recently been made prisoners and takt4into Monte

" FROM 'rill!: CITY, Fri Jay evening.

" The state of the Revenue has created a very
favourable impression at this end of the town.—
It was generally expected that there would be a
deficiency, arising from tl►e great dearth and stag-
nation of commerce for theldbf twelve months.—
Those persous whose speculations the improved
state of the Revenue is I:kely to affect, attempt
to attach improbability to the account. They
*siert, but incorrectly, that a considerable sum of
money has been borrowed of the Bank, which
bas been brought into this Quarter's account, and
that the East India Company had advanced money
on their duties. The latter assertion has arisen
in a mistaken notion that the money last paid by
that Company was in advance, which is not the
fact. It is true that the E,4 3r India Company
did pay into the 'Treasury last week a sun►
amounting to about 70,0001., but that was for
duties which bad accrued due, anti not in ad-
vance.--" The state of the Funds is a
,proof of
the impression which the account of' the Revenue
has creatrd. They were yesterday, after consi-
d►'rable tloctoatious, and great eflotts made by the
Bears, done at 68 ; and they closed this after-
noon at 69i buyers, and looking very firm.—The
President's Message is also a eircumst6nce which
has operated very favourably on the mind of the
Public; and there is n►, doubt that it is entirely
owing to the particular transactions of tl►e ac-
count, and the impossibility of making real trans-
fers, that the Funds have' not risen upwards of
o►►e per cent. in the course of the ►lay. Money
on 'Change was rather scarce ; and the Exchanges
were a little higher, particolaily on Paris. There
was no alteration in the prices of Gold and Silver
huEion."
