THE FUNDS.

STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The great alarm which prevailed yesterday in the market
has partially subsided. Consols opened this morning at 81, when
some large purchases were made, so doubt to improve the mar-
ket, which it does not appear, up to this hour, had thk desired
effect. Consols 81i, both buyers-and sellers.

PORKSOK 111611 KILT, TWELVZ O'CLOCK.
Since the alarms of war which were so prevalent have not
been confirmed up to this hour, the great agitation and anxiety
-so prevalent yesterday in this market, has subsided in a certain
degree, but still great fears are entertained for next settling-days
the 15th and 30th, as it is feared that a number of persons
will not be able to provide for their differences, caused by the
-great fluctuations during the present Account. Yesterday morn-
ing New Spanish Bonds were done at 5,, and this morning they
opened at 59—were done at 60, 61, 62, and 63, which is a fluc-
tuation of nearly ten per cent. but it must lite observed, that
most of the transactions in those Bonds, and at the aforesaid
prices, were merely to make up their accounts ; but the real
price this morning of Spanish (New) Bonds must be.quoted at
56i to 59. In consequence of the great fall of Spanish Stock
yesterday, several persons have already been declared defaulters,
amongst whom are two or three respectable characters.

The French Papers of Saturday arrived last night
by the regular Mail, but we had yesterday anticipated
their contents by Express. Those of Sunday have
since come to hand, but they neither contradict nor
confirm the report of war between Franceand Spain.
It seems now to be generally believed, that however
eager the Allied Sovereigns may be to make war on
Spain, and of their disposition there can be no doubt,
yet they are more aware than the French of the diffi-
culties they will have to encounter in the attempt to
interfere by arms in the concerns of the Peninsula.—
The French Minister at Congress, in conformity with
the views of his Court at home, presses the interfe-
rence, and a general acquiescence is only stopped or
suspended by the influence of the Duke of WELLING-
TON. His Grace KNOWS Spain, which is more than
can be said for any of his assessors in the political
assembly at Verona ; and he is reported to have de-
scribed most forcibly the dangers attendant on a
campaign in the Peninsula. It has always been said,
with respect to the invasion of Spain) that if you sent
a large army, it would perish for want of provisions :
if a small one, it would be defeated. In addition to
these general considerations, his Grace represented
the perfection to which the Guerilla system has now
been brought by long practice, the facilities afforded
by the country to that species of warfare, and above
all, the courage and zeal of the inhabitants. These
considerations, offered by one so fully competent to
appreciate their importance, are said for a while to
have supplied an equipoise to the importunities of the
French Minister, and to have inclined the grave As-
sembly to try peaceful representations before the
gauntlet of war is thrown down.—The following are
extracts from the French Papers of Sunda) :

PARIS, NOVEMBER io.

L'Etoik of Saturday.
We shall publish shortly the conditions of the Loan
contracted with M.Ouvrard, by the Regency of Spain.
A letter from Bayonne, dated October 51, says—

el The military preparations are carried on here with
as much activity as ever, and the troops are animated,
with the best spirit. Being out recently on a cam-
paigning exercise, and fully accoutred, the soldiers,
convinced that they were marching against the Spa-
nish Constitutionalists, proceeded, shoutirig Vive le
Rol!' And we are assured that, if necessity should
inquire forced marches, they would not feel fatigued,

so ardent are shay to cope wit* the enemies of all k.
gitimate Governments."
