MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1822.
- • THE FUNDS.
STOCK MECO A NGE,,TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Coneols opened this morning at 90/ to 91. It was soon
afterwards known that an Express had arrived from Paris, and
that the French Funds had fallen t0.87f. 50c. and Spanish 571.
A thousand rumours were immediately circulated as to, the
cause of this depression, but we believe that it was occasioned
by..l mischievous but ridiculous report in Paris, that a respect-
able first rate English Broker had failed on our 'Change! that
two Others had been sent to jail; and that our Stuck Exchange
was shut up. This rumour was no doubt circulated for the
purpose of influencing the Funds, as it was settling-day for the
Foreign Fonda. The fall in the French Stock had some effect
on our market, and Consols are, up to this hour, at 801 for the
Account, and for Money 80 I.
romans MIDS.
The Express from Paris has also influenced this market, and
caused a depression on all Foreign Funds this morning, and the
market appears very heavy. New Spanish Bonds opened this
morning at 58, afterwards fell to 571. The market has not yet
recovered from the severe shock it felt -on Saturday last, owing
to the immense failures. At the Stock Exchange, it is under-
stood there is not one defaulter of any consequence.
Current Prices :—Chilian 66, New Spanish 57.1.1, Old docking
doing, New Prussian 861 I, Old 861, Russian 654, Danish 90}1,
Neapolitan 761, Colombian 791, New Spenish_Serip6l to 1 dis.
STOCK EXCUANGE, ONE O'CLOCK.
Every Broker, to the credit of the Stmt Exchange, notwith-
standing the fluctuation in Consols, paid up his differences on the
but settling day. The Market is rather heavy. Consols are 11011
for Money, and 801 for the Account, and it appears the general
opinion that they will be worse.
TOWLIGN MA SEEL
A number of parties who have been absent since the 15th ult.
have made their re-appearance this morning upon the Royal
Exchange, but they of course find it difficult to do any business.
Prices remain the same.

The French Papers of Thursday have reached us.
Their principal interest relates to Spanish affair.—
The cause of the Insurgents seems nearly at an end.
Mina, it is admitted by the Ministerial Journals,
tras made himself master of the city of Urgel, but
they add that the garrison, 1000 strong, had .retired
to the citadel. This force is known, from other and
more impartial sources not to exceed half that num-
ber ; but even these, according to the Constitutionnel
of Thursday, have been abandoned by their leader,
the Baron d'Enokrats. He. is said at first, to have
entertained the intention bf defending the fort to the
last extremity, but had since retreated towards the
valley of Andorre, a territory the right of which is
in dispute between France and Spain, and had sent
on the Records of the Regency to Llivia, which
place is now described as a neutral State, but which
is at all events wholly
_surrounded by the French
territory.. But the commercial letters quoted by the
Constitutionnel, place the Regency in a still more
desperate condition: they state that General MINA
had gained a decisive victory over the remains of the
.Army of the Faith, and that all those troops who
bad neither been taken prisoners nor joined the
ranks of the Constitutionalists had taken refuge at
Llivia. More than half the Baion's troops, it is said,
have joined MINA, who has also captured large
stores of arms and ammunition provided by the
Regency. MINA'S army in Catalonia is 'stated at
80,000 men.

The Journal des Debats applies a very proper term
to the extracts which it inserts from the Diario
d' Urgel, in stating that it has culla the most curious
among them—and curious enough they are. One is
a decree from the Regency, or late Regency, an-
nouncing the departure of that illustrious body from
Leo d'Urge}, and assigning all sorts of. reasons but
the true one. The difficulty of the means of trans-
port among the mountains induces the Regents to
try a second range of mountains ; then the impotsi.
bility of accommodating such " an isseinblage" of
General and other officers, as well Spanish as " fo-
reign," who come to fight under the standard of the
Faith; compels the Court 'of Urgel to retire from
that city, and to enlarge its quintets by residing in
the village of Llivia—a little place enclave, as the
diplomatic people call it, or, in other words, almost
surrounded by the French territory. However, the
truth peeps out from a paragraph of the Faithful
Gazettes of the 18th of Novgmber, which affirm that
the Constitutional Colonel Coira (this had 'reached
the public previously through other quarters) left
Barcelona a week before with two thousand men, to
join Mixst.s at Vich ; and, it was feared, to steal a
march upon Spanish Cerdagne, in which case these
'officers might have got behind the Regency had they
temained at Urgef; or *caught them had • they re;
treated no further than Puycerda. The official
intelligence from large' itself admits, that after some
fighting in the Conque de Trempe, MINA had
driven EaoLLES from that, his last tenable position,
and had entered Talaru, where it is alleged (though
with an expressive doubt of the veracity of the tale)
etiarithe.private residence of the COMmander of the
kaltbid had been burned to ashes.. •, •

din, would be subject of regret, but they are isie-1
parable from civil-warfare, and are rightfully charge-.
Ole upon those Who, acting as base mercenaries to a
foreign Power, or seeking (as we have heard was the
cisse'with EROLLSS) to wreak their own personal ven-
geance on their enemies, have 'first lighted the torch
of. insurrection. The*wife and family of EROLLIS had,
according to letters from St. Beat, fled.tOviards the
frontier, and on the 19th were to seek an asylum in
the French village of Fos. MINA was on Sunday
(November 17) at Real, a small town, within about
two days' march of the frontier, at the bead of Six-
teen thousand men, the whole force under his orders
in Catalonia only being 30,000. That, be it recol-
lected; is within 10,000 men of the reported strength
of the French Army of Observation, with which it
has been proposed to conquer Spain ! Two battalions
from the interior had recently joined TORRIJOS at
Vittoria, to assist his operations iu Navarre. &arta,
the arch rebel, so long resident at Bayonne, has been
ordered to betake himself to Toulouse, where the
Trappist now is. •
Accounts from Bayonne have been received to the
23d ultimo. The arrival of Toanuos at Vittoria
had breathed new life into the military organization.
of that proviOce. His first measure appears to have
been a minute inquiry into the situation of the fifth
district, in which he was about to operate, by calling
together the Commanders of the troops and the Poli-
tical Functionaries, at head-quarters. The field di-
vision of General TONRIJOS amounts to 4,000 men.
An energetic Address and Remonstrance to the in-
habitants was published by this active Officer on the
18th ; and annexed to it was a General Order, nearly
a transcript, as is !fated, of hltwa's Proclamation from
Castelfollit. An action, on a small scale, had taken
place between JULIAN SANCHEZ, one of the Lieute-
nants of TORRIJOS, acid JAUNITO, a rebel Chief, in
which the latter was defeated. O'DONNEL was looked
for by the insurgents of Navarre. MINA and MILANS
are declared in these accounts to be co-operating
against the enemy ; the latter officer having moved
on the 10th from Vich (probably after the junction
eof his reinforcement from Barcelona). MINA'S imme-
diate force is estimated, as before, at 15,000 or 16,000.

Letters from Verona of the 19th ult. state; that
the rising of Congress is definitively fixed for the Bth
instant; It is at last resolved that there shall be no
general declaration, or official document, with regard
to Spain, issued by that Assembly ; even the expe-
dient of addressing separate Notes to that Power by
each of the Members is said to be abandoned. All
the Ambassadors accredited to-the Court of Madrid,
will receive instructions to remain in that capital Only
so long as a particular course of proceeding is main-
tained by the Spanish Government ; and that
devi-
ated from, immediately to demand their passpoiti.

Saturday, at the early hour of one o'clock, a tribi-
net Council was held at the Foreign Office, in Down-
ing-street, which was attended by the LORD Criatt-
CELLOR, the Earl of HA EROWBY, Earl of LIVERPOOL,
Earl of WESTMORLAND, Viscount' SIDMOUTH, Mr.
PEEL, Mr. CANNING, Earl BATHURST, the CHANCEL-
LOR of the EXCHEQUER, Viscount MELVILLE, Mr.
ROBINSON, Lord MA RYBOROUGH, and Mr. WYNN,
which were all the members of the Cabinet, except
the Duke of WELLINGTON, who is abroad,. and Mr.
BRAGGE BATHURST, who is not in London, and was
considered a very numerous assemblage of the mem-
bers of the Cabinet at this season of the year, espe-
cially as Parliament is not sitting. The Cabinet con-
tinued in deliberation till nearly half-past six. Some
of the members left at a quarter before six. The
members received the summonses to attend on Thurs-
day night, which were ordered to be issued by Mr.
CANNING. The Earl of LIVERPOOL and the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER came to town to attend
the Cabinet.from their residences at Combe-wood and
Blackheath, to which places they returned after the '
breaking up of the Cabinet. •
Friday, the Lords of the Council assembled at the
Council Office, Whitehall. There were present the
Earl of HARROwBY, Earl BATHURST, Lord STOWILL,
Lord COLCHESTER, Sir JOHN NICHOLL, and Mr.
BECKETT. The subject under discussion was that of
Mr. Serjeant RouGH, which was at length finally de-
termined after six days' discussion.
Mr. BAcErmusE acts as Under Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs: he franks, &c. but has not been

The Gazette of Saturday night contains the lip-
pointment of JOH WHO% Esq. Advocate, tollie Ace

alleged breach of privilege, in a letter to Mr. Am-
caomair on the subject of the Beacon and Serifinei
