The fettling days for the Confols and Otnnium accounts fall
within two days •f each other. The Confols come fiat ; there-
fore it may fo happen, that a jobber may have a good Confol
account, and be a lofer on Omniuni. Where the parties are
honcit, there is little danger; but if misfortune (hould in-
cline any to be roguifh, it is a tine opportunity, as they may
receive the profit, and thAt pay the lots.
Two D.,liiar, were declared on Saturday at the Stock .P.L.
eharre, and in all probability every day between this and the
account will produce tome more.

DUBLIN, OCTOICA per Cent. Coy. Deb. 8:i

This day we ree:ived Paris papers of the ad
or, as our contemporaries ufually exprefs them-
felves, to the 3d. Their contents are given in the
preceding columns. The French funds have rifen
a little. The Tiers Confolidcs were at 34 francs
on the ifl inilant.
The Ratification of the Preliminaries of Peace
on the part of the French Republic, which many
were anxioufly expeaing this morning, had not
arrived when this paper was put to prefs. It is
thought that it may be to-morrow night or even
Thurfday before the Meffenger returns from Paris,
as the Cul F CONSUL will naturally communicate
them to the Spaniih and Dutch Minincrs at Paris
before h: gives them his fanaion, though there is
no ground to think that it will he necellary to ob-
tain the formal confcnt of thofc Powers, as howa-
PARTE would be authorized generally to negociate
for them. They mat concur formally, however,
in a definitive Peace, and se ill employ Plenipoten-
tiaries to that.rffeet. There will, it is likely, be a
Ica of Cringr eft, therefore, in giving the due fo.
lemnity of thape to what has already been fettled.

We have obtained Peace, and that without fub-
mitting to be fpoiled and plundered, as many
Powers upon the Continent have been, and an in-
creafe of our Navy, which makes it fuperior to the
navy of all the other Powers of Europe united.
We have loft, to be fuse, a number of brave
