THE FUNDS.

Laisv-zias.--Holiday at the Bank.
STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.. '
. • The aspect of business is to-day much livelier than it has been
for some time. Not only our own Funds, but those of Spain,
have experienced a considerable rise. Camols opened at 74j,
• and ars now at 74i. Spanish Bonds opened at 261, and have risen
to 27*. Both Markets, too, are looking up. The cause of these
improvements is, an increasing confidence that there will be ho
necessity for the armed interposition of our Government In the
• ' affairs of the Continent, and a general conviction that, from the
enthusiastic exertions the Spaniards are making, they will of
themselves be abundantly able to repel the aggression of France.
An Express, whicti arrived this forenoon, is said to have broil&
news of a highly satisfactory nature from Madrid. The Km.
bad not yet taken his departure fur ; it had, with consent
of the Cortes, been deferred to the 20th inst.

Some further statements have got abroad with respect to the
nein recei'ved from Spain.—it is said that a new MiniAry has
'been formed, all the Members of which have accepted of office;

and that the Conde d'Ausaat had not only been appointed Po-
.litical Chief of Madrid, but has taken military occupation of that
capital, with the forces under his command.
The rise in the Funds, which still continues, is ascribed to a
variety of causes. There is uo doubt of expresses having reached
town this morning from Paris. They are said to contain a re-
port of an insurrection in Paris; and one Gentleman read-a let-
ter on 'Change, from that city, announcing this event. It is also
slated as quite certain, that the Duke of ANGOCLIXI had been
taken iU on his route; and that his situation was such as to re-
% quire more medical assistance, which has been sent from Paris.
These rumours, combined with the fact stated in a Morning
Paper, of a disturbance having broken out among the peasantry
near Macon (The report to which our Reporter here alludes,
is given in another part of our Paper), have iodated a strong mo-
mentary belief that war is not yet unavoidable, and have clean-
sinned a considerable advance in the different Funds.
No Securities, however, have risen so much as the Comm.o

bian Bonds, which are up at this hour to 62. This great
rise is attributed to .1 more certain conviction on the part of the
liolders of them that the present Governmeut of Colombia, by
accepting part of the money raised by Mr. Zu, will agree to
nuke itself responsible for the vrhoh: sum contracted for.

We have received, by an Express from Paris, ac-
counts from Madrid to the 17th instant.

The vacancies in the New Ministry, occasioned by
the declining of some of those nominated on the 2sl
instant to accept of office, have beta filled up by
new appointments.
General AntsaAL was on his way to Madrid with
the forces under his command. It was expected that
he would be appointed to the command of the capi-
tal during the ahstn:e of the KING.
His MAJESTY having represented to
.the Certes
that he thought the state of affairs would allow of his
remaining at Madridtid the 20th, they had given',
their sanction to the postponenseni of his departure.

It is certain that Sir WILLIAM A'Covar accom-
panies the Courtto Seville.

The little excitement which the approach of war
created in France, appears now to have wholly sub-
sided. Even the triumphs of the Army of the Faith
no longer feet their hour in. the columns of the Etoile
and the Quolidienne ; and the devotions of the KING,
and the movements of the Duke d'Aticoutextx's
•equipage, are the most prominent articles in these
Journals.—His Rdyal Highness was not expected to
leave Toulouse for Bayonne until the 27th inst.

The Monitear contains a Royal Ordonnance, order-
iog that the name of M. Minima be erased from the
rolls of the National Guard. The Goastitatioanel re-
marks on this subject, that it is the first time that "a
non-commissioned Officer of the National Guard has
been struck by a measure from so high a quarter,
and that the signature of a Minister of State had
never before appeared at the bottom of an order for
discharging a serjeant." The Chamber of Deputies
had done nothing but pass to the Order of the Day
on the Petitions presented by the chief commercial
cities of France against a war with Spain.
" Commerce," says one of the Paris Journals, i.el
Pilots, " is already in great stagnation. We saw
yesterday a manufacturer of the capital who, two
months ago afforded employment and subsistence to
200 workmen, and who has been forced within a
fortnight to discharge 150; yet war is not commenced.
Letters from Lyons state, that one-third of the work-
men are discharged.
