LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12, 1827.

We received last night the Paris Papers of Friday,
and the Etoile dated Saturday morning. The Funds
declined on Friday about half per cent., but the cause
of the fall does not appear, unless it may be traced to
the new doubts respecting the conduct of FERDINAND
which seem to have sprung up. Some of the Papers
mention that the disgrace of CALOMARDE was merely
an act of simulation, as he was only deprived of
the Presidency, and has been allowed to retain his
appointment of Minister of, Grace and Justice ; that
the Infant Don CARLOS and the two Portuguese
Princesses maintain an ascendancy- which nothing can
counterbalance ; and that Mr. LAMB, unable to bring
any of the points of discussion to a satisfactory termi-
nation, had actually left Madrid on the 30th January,
for Lisbon. This latter report the Etoile classes
under LIES OF THE DAY, and states, in a Note, that
Mr. LAMB was still in Madrid on the 2d inst. The
Etoik also contradicts the statements of the Quoti-
dienne that Count DE VrLL A FLOR had been de-
feated by the Marquis DE CHAVES, in a renewed
engagement ; and a statement in the Constitutionnel,
that some of the Spanish troops on the frontiers of
Portugal had deserted into that kingdom. In fact
the whole of the. accounts from the Peninsula are
vague and contradictory ; but one thing seems certain,
that FERDINAND has not acted with respect to the
Portuguese deserters in such a manner as to confirm
the opinion which some have hastily taken up of the
sincerity of his professions of neutrality.

We have received Brussels Papers to the 11th inst.
from which the following are extracts :
Fin. B.—The Ministers have terminated the new
BRUSSELS;
budget for 1827. It is affirmed that no mention is made in it of
new dikes and other similar works, only those which are begun
are to be completed. It is said that the sums that were required
have been provided for by continuing in force the laws of the pre-
ceding year. If this is the case it will probably lead to long debates
It is affirmed that the project for the organization of the Courts
of Justice has not hitherto met with a favourable reception in the
sections. The 18 Provincial Courts are generally disapproved of.
The Jong Adriana, Captain G. J. Meux, from Batavia, with
coffee, arrived at Flushing on the 3d February. There has been a
very great fall of snow in some parts of the Duchy of Luxemburg,
and the communication has been interrupted.
On the 3d, several carriages, going to Hilbert, were obliged to
he left in the snow, taking out the horses.
A collection of 23,000 florins has been made at Ainsterdam for
the 40,000 sick poor in that city.
We have received the Batavia Journal of the 29th September,
which contains the reports of Major-General Van Geen, on the
military operations to the 13th September, which we have men-
tioned in a forme number of our journal It contains also several
decrees of the Commissioners-General.
Fin. 9.—The-Magellan, from Antwerp, arrived on the 18th
of September at Batavia, with a detachment of troops from the
Netherlands.
The•following is the Royal Message which accompanied the
new budget presented in the sitting of the Ist of February :--
" In consequence of the wish which your assembly has express-
ed, we have taken into consideration the project of law, concern-
ing the second part of the budget, of the expense of the kingdom
for the year 1827. On this occasion, our attention has been fixed
on the observations which were made in your debates on the sub-
ject, and we now present to you new projects of law for the regu-
lation of this part of the budget, and to determine the means of
meeting the expenses comprehended in it.
" If, on the one hand, it has been agreeable to us to have been
able to acquiesce, in part, in those observations, we must, on the
other hand, observe with regret, that the recent disaster of our
marine, and the knowledge which we have acquired of the unfa-
vourable state of the finances in our East India possessions, in
consequence of the continuation of the wur in those countries,
have placed us under the necessity of increasing this new budget by
expenses which could not be foreseen when the first was drawn up.
" However, your assembly will see with pleasure, that notwith-
standing these circumstances it has been possible to effect some re-
duction of the expenses.
" The annexed memoir and calculation will enable you to judge
of the changes made in the first project.

The verylong explanations annexed detail the reasons arising
from
mth eunfwourable state of the Colonial Treasury, which
makes it necessary to provide the sum of 1,400,000 florins to pay
the interest of the loan of 1826, which is guaranteed by the State,
but which it was hoped the colonies would be able to pay from
