The rumours in the City to-day with respect to
Uri private *counts said to have been received from
Paris, as to The state of the Funds on Tuesday, are
at considerable variance. A ccording to one account,
the 5 per Cents. had declined before the close of that
day to 661 r. for money, and 68 for the account ;
while other statements, on which we are disposed to
place more reliance, make the lowest price for money
68} franc-., and for the account 70 francs.

A Supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday
last was published at a late hour this forenoon. It
contains the substance of Dispatches which have been,
received at the India House from the Governor in
Council at Bombay, dated 30th May, 3d and Bth
June—most of the particulars of which we laid be-
fore our Readers a few days ago. Besides the various

The Paris Papers for Monday and Tuesday arrived
this forenoon. The private reports which were cur-
rent yesterday, with respect to the state of the French
finds, prove to have been considerably exaggerated.
They were said to have sunk as low as 65, ;nd even
6=2; and this, with reference to the close of the mar-
ket on Monday. But from the state of Munday's
price, in the Papers before us, it appears that the
lowest rate at which they were dcne on that day was
71 f. 20 c. that they were done at as high even as 721.

The KING and PRINCE ROYAL of PRUSSIA, the
Grand Duke CONsTANTIN C, and Duke of Mrcrmrs-
avm.:Ta, honoured the Duke d'Escans with their pre-
sence at an evening party, on Sunday. From a Ber-
lin arti&e, it appears • that a courier had arrived
there, officially announcing that the K:NO would be
back to Aix-la-Chapelle by the 31st ultimo, so that
by this time, we may presume, his ni.trsry and
suite have left Paris.

The Doke of ANGOULFME set out -on Monday
morning for the Northern flontiers. in order to su-
perintend the re-occupation of the fortified places.
His Highness is expected to be sbs.nt on this duty
about six weeks.

General LA Fivrrrr. has been returned as Deputy
for the Department of the Sarthe.
The Emperor of Russ' arrived on his return from
Paris, at Valenciennes, on the night of the 29th. The
inhabitants spontaneously illuminated their houses
on the occasion. Nest morning, at ten, his Mensry
set off for Brussels.

A private letter from Paris, written on Monday
evening, states, that on Sunday the Contractors for
the Loan sent off an express to Aix-la-Chapelle, to
require an extension of the term stipulated in the
Treaty for completing the instalments ; and that, in-
stead of nine months, they should be allowed seven-
teen months to pay up the whole of the Loan: the)
offer, in that case, to make each instalment at the
place where it falls due, instead of paying it to the
agents of the respective Powers at Paris; thus pro-
ducing a saving of commission and other charges,
and affording a security against any loss that might
arise from the variations In the exchanges. Should
this proposition be acceded to, of whii.h little doubt
was entertained, one cause c the late instability of
the French Funds would be immediately removed,
In regard to the exportation of specie, active means
had been resorted to, to put a stop to that, as it was
considered injurious traffic : the principal commercial
houses in Paris had met, and entered into a volun-
tary agreement with the Bank not to practise it
themselves, and to discountenance and prevent it by
every possible means in others. From these and other,
causes, it is confidently expected that the next ac-
counts will bring information of an improvement in
the French Funds : as a proof of that confidence it
may be stated, that 71.50 was given on the Exchange
yesterday, and we heard of more than one bargain
done at that price.
The report in the City to-day is, that the preced-
ing application has been rejected.

The apartments in Kensington Palace, formerly
inhabited by the Princess of WALES, are fitting up
for the reception of the Duchess Of KENT, who returns
to England previous to her espocted accouchonott.

DOVER, NOVEMBER S.

Arrived last night and this morning, about twenty
sail of transiforts from Calais, having on board se-
veral Companies of the Royal Artillery, also Troops
of Royal Horse Artillery, Artillery Drivers, horses,
field-pieces, and stores.

The 6th Foot, one of those which formed the hol-
low square in which the valiant WEL I, I NOTON planted
himself at the memorable battle of Waterloo, marched
into Romford on Wednesday, and yesterday morning
left there, on their route to Sunderland.

A body of troops, amounting, we understand, to
650, is immediately to be dispatched to the Island of
Ceylon : and a similar number to St. Helena.

JERSEY, Ocroaza 30.—At nine in the morning the
Town Regiment of Militia, with their four 6-poun-
ders, were on the beach at Saumarez Mielles, to fire
ball.• The targets for the infantry were at 90 yards ;
they first fired individually, when the prizes for each
company were adjudged ; they then fired by sec-
tions, divisions, and companies. The target for the:
Artillery, twelve feet square, was placed at six hun-
dred yards distance, each gun fired 15 rounds, and
16 shot were placed in the circle of the target, and
the rest went close to it at either side. The.artillery-1
men are mostly carpenters and masons, which, with
their mutual emulation, accounts for their tiring;
with precision. The Regiment was commanded by!
Colonel MALLET. As this was the last of their
mili-
tary exhibitions till next Spring, the sands were co-
vered with spectators, and the beauty of the day ad-;
ded much to the effect of the whole. Nothing can'
indeed exceed the fineness of the weather, which has
continued now for a long time. The wind, though
very light, continues still-steady at S. E. Provisions
still maintain their high prices ; potatoes only appear
to be declining in price ; the very fine weather has
'brought them on greatly both in their size and in
their goodness. • '

AN/ ROTE OF THE EMPEROR OF RU3SIA.—In the
-late Review, on the 2`3d tilt. the grenadier company
"of the 4th, or King's Own Regiment, was appointed
the Guard of Honour to his Imperial Majesty, who
'was so well pleased with their Appearance and dis-
cipline, that after the Review, the Emperor presen-
ted the company with one hundred guineas, and tak-
ing the feather from his hat, desired it might be di-
vided amongst the men.

The Hon. Colonels EDWARD and HENRY LYGON,
are arrived at the Countess of BEAUCHAMP'S house,
iu SL James's-square, from Worcestershire.
A Letter from Aix-la-Chapelle, dated November 1,
says:—` The Emperor ALEXANDER arrived here last
night between seven and eight o'clock from the Re-
view. The Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, yho accom-
panied his brother the EMPEROR to Paris, has not
returned with him. The Grand Duke MICHAEL, with
a number of Russian General Officers, arrived two
or three days ago. The conferences for some days
past have been languishing, owing to the absence of
the Sovereigns, particulaty of the Emperor ALEX-
ANDER The presence of the latter Sovereign, who
is almost his own Minister, was found indispensable

to their farther progress. His servants cannot pro-
ceed without him. He is not only his own Prithe sE-
:lister, and Minister for Fcreign Affairs, but his own
Minister of the Interior, of Police, and of Finance.
The most trifling details, as well as the most impor-
tant projects or negociations, are laid before him,
' and receive their due share of consideration. Plea-
sure or amusement are never allowed for a moment
to interfere with the calls of duty or the exigencies
of business. He gives orders to admit every one into
liir.,presence who has any petition to offer, or any
useful plan to propose; and the rapidity with which
he conceives its objects, or decides upon its merits,
is e,nralled only by the spirit and willingness with
which he enters on its examination. He rises every
morning at six o'clock, and often. does not go to bed
till two. His morning devotions are never omitted,
whatever other duties he has to perform—a habit
which is common to him with the rest of his family ;
nor is he less attentive to the little forms and refined
civilities of life than if they constituted its mere se-
rious employment. So punctual is he in this respect
that those who had no nearer views of his character
would•suppose, that he comprised the whole busi-
,Jaess of a Sovereign in popylar things, and
shewing refined attentions. 'the Liege papers cele-
brate some of the popular things which he did on
his way to the review ; and 1 have no doubt the
French Journals will echo their praises, by reciting.
similar acts of popularity in France.
" While the other two Monarchs have been at the;
review of their troops, the Emperor of AU.iTRIA has
denoted a part of his time to our countryman, Sir
'l'. LAWRENCE• Like GERARD, at Paris, to whom,
by the way, he is greatly superior, he maintains the
dignity of art by making the Monarchs come to him,
instead of waiting upon them at their hotels. The
Emperor of AUSTRIA has Already honoured him with
five sittings, each nearly of two hours and a half
the picture is now far advanced, and is one of the
most faithful and spirited likenesses which we have,
ever seen. After tho countenance, the orders, &c.
shall be taken, the sketch will be carried to England
and there finished.

" If the Emperor of RUSSIA and King of PRUSSIA
honour the painter with as many sittings as the Em-
peror of AUSTRIA, this delicate compliment of the
PRINCE REGENT to their Imperial and Royal Ma-
jesties will cost them nearly as much time as they
spent in the review of their troops. It will be some
compensation for them, while they are preparing for
themselves a portraiture in history by their politi-
cal acts, to have their personal portaits preserved in
the works of the first portrait painter of. the age.—
I have to-day heard, from authority on which I can
place great reliance, that the Emperor ALEXANDER
will leave this place for Brussels on or before the 15th
of November ; that he will remain there in a kind
of domestic party, composed of his mother, his sister,
the Prince of ORANGE, and the other branchesof the
family of the Netherlands, for four or five days ; that
lie will then return to Aix-la-Chapelle, where he will
pass only a few hours, and will then proceed to Pe-
tersburgh, by Stutgard and Vienna. By this arrange-
ment the Congress will be over before the end of
November,"

COVENTGARDEN.:—LBSL night Miss SOMERVILLE
repeated the character of At7e/githa, and with in-
creased effect, and the Play, on the whole, went off
with greater eclat even than on its first rept esentation.
After the Tragedy, a new Ballet (the first this season)
was produced, under the title of Pad and Virginia.
The principal incidents of that interesting story are
introduced. Mr. NOBLE and Miss LUPINO were the
hero and heroine of the piece. The Sylph-like airi-
ness and graceful action of the latter render her a
worthy representative of the fair Virginia. The Miss
DENNETS were introduced in a pas de trois, which
was much applauded. The scenery is beautiful, and
the whole arrangement of the Ballet does great cre-
dit to Mr. NOBLE, under whose direction and super-
intendance it is produced—The Ballet was followed
by the revived Farce of " Who Wins; or, the Widow's
Choice." This spirited little Piece has been suffered
to rest on the shelf, in unaccountable and unmet ited
obscurity, for years, having never been performed
since the opening of the present Theatre. It is now
revived, under very favourable auspices. LtsTos as
Caper, Russia. as lambic Extempore, and Mrs. C.
KEMBLE as the Widow Bellier, gave full effect to their
several parts, and were loudly applauded. The House
was full, and the Piece went off extremely well.

Miss SOMER VILLE and Miss O'Nv.it.L arc an-
nounced to appear together in the Tragedy of June

AND REDUCTION OF POOR RATE&

On these important subjects the follbWing Address
has just been published. td which, as deserving much
attentiot,i we give a pltee in our columris :
The Encouragement of lndustty and the Redite:
tion of Poors' Bates being essential to the comfort
and pro!-perity of the community, has occasioned a
union. of some Gentlemen, who having formed them-
!selves into a P:ovisior.:ll Committee, desire to elicit
the best information on these important subjects—
They commenced their exertions in'the .Metropolis,
on =taint of the felicity which it affords fur cctm-
munlcatiun. That-the subject is of vital Imi-wt.:nee
to the interests of onr country, appears front the lA.
gislature having invited information relative to the
' State and EmpP•yrnent of the Poor _ft is evident
that their destitute situation can only be remedied it/
means of employment being found for the unoccu-
pied, not interfering with any existing occupation.
The communications received in consequence of ape
plication to Agricultural and Manufacturing Parishes.,
the info: m,ttion derived front Members of the Board
of Agriculture. ond the cases of practical success
published by Nobility and other 'Awl Owners,
have evinced that the Poor are generally industrious,
and able to maintain themsel% es without parochial
aid, when occupying small portions of land.
The Committee desire, by a patient and zealoui
investigation, to ascertain the most eligible mode or
accomplishing these important objects; and . its veer
tions have beeh sanction-rd by numerous enlightened
land benevolent characters, who are of opinion that
!the employment of the Poor-and lesse&•.; the bine
, den of Parochial Assessments, are principally to be
attained by the additional cultivation of land.

If this principle was generally adopted, every
class of society would derive substantial benefit and
considerable facility would attend its execution if
publicly supported.
In thus venturing to request information, the
Committee address every patriotic and benevolent
character. Its objects arc, to awaken attention—.to
invite discussion—to arrest and avert the evils so long

deplored—to employ the unemployed—and to pro-
mote individual and national prosperity.
In this enlightened and benevolent age, it is an-
ticipated that the following Inquiries will excite intel-
ligent Iteplies, affording demonstrative proof th.it
subjects of general utility occupy the public mind.

work, or whose low wage.? arc insufliciont to maintain them,
were supplied with a small portion ut land, nearly rc.ii
with the means of erecting a ccttage, if necessary, on the 54:r.5,
would it prove a stimulus to industry, be accepted and cultiva-
ted, and eventually render parochial relief unneciwary i
2. For persons with large families, r.y six children or up-
wards, to similar circumstances, would it b• constiured
if a cow and a sufficient qui:inky of land, say one and a half cr
two acres, at a low rent, were supplied, that szch would be
enabled to live without parochial assistance?

CORN EXCHANGE, AIARK-LANE, NOV. 6.
The supply of English Wheat at ma:ket this morn-
ing being rather small, that of fine quality met ready
sale at last Monday's prices, notwithstanding the ar-
rival of 10,000 quarters from abroad in the course
of this week, as per statement at foot. Barley, bath
English and Forei-m, is from 3s. to 4s. rer quarter
cheaper, the supply of each having been large, and
the demand inadequate to it, owing to the reluctance
of the Wasters to purchase at pre Lent prices in con-
sequence of the dull state of thu malt trade.--. A-
lthough the arrivals of Oats continue large, yet from
the extensiveness of the demand, sales were brisk at
an advance of full ls. per quarter on Monday's prices.
White and Grey Peas are 2s. per quarter dearer.—
Beans are 2s. per quarter lower, in consequence of
large arrivals from the Mediterranean.—The
tations of Grain this week are as follows:

English Wheat 7.720 i t.rrigh Wipnt
