Yefterday, before the dole of the Market, the
Funds had a fuddcn fall. A certain Broker, who
is well known to aft for certain French Capitalifts,

fold out a very large film at from 65 downwards to

61 per Cent. Rill taking what price he could get,
till he had parted with tit' e amount he wifhed to
. difpofe of. They afterwards rote a little, and left
off at 6af.
Rumours, as ufual, were afloat ; fome of them
of a moll abfurd nature, and all of them unfound-
ed. Mr. PITT was coming into place !—The
French Mail had brought a declaration of war !
_

According to others, it had come by a row-boat!!
—The Cabinet was fitting, and a Royal Mefrage
was to be lent to Parliament declaring all hopes

of accommodation at an end! !' —There for the war.

On the other hand, the young Duke of Dos say
had fet off, at one o'clock, to juin Lord Witi-v-
-'WORTH and his Mother at Paris—a certain fign of
peace! As if the vifit of a boy from Harrow
School to his little fillers and Relatives in Paris,
during the Eallsr vacation, had any thing to do
with the quellion of Peace or War.
Nothing has tranfpired refpating the Rate of

the negociations, and we cannot forbear repeating
that thole whofe property may be affeeted by the
rife or fail of the Funds, (hould be cautious
how they credit rumours of any kind, tieing Co

many •are interefted in propagating falfehoods.
Since the reccipt of the French papers, men•ion-
ed in this Paper yefterday, we have received
others down to the :Bth. They contain nothing

that can give any indication of the probable iffue
of the prefent negociation. The Funds, however,
continue to decline, the 5 per cents. being at 54 f.
c. on Saturdarlaft. On the other hand, Co
lonial produce, which had rifen in price at Bour-
deaux, on the prevailing opinion that war was pro-
bable, hac again fal.en in value.
The differences between France and Algiers

Save terminated in a manner, which, it cannot be
denied, is highly creditable to the Government of
France. The near Corm., with a becoming
fpirit, promptly refufed to become tributary to the
Dey, in confequence of which, the Piratical Chief

thought proper to dcfiß from his unit& demand.—
Prance bas thus afforded a moll admirable exam•
ple, which, for the credit of civilised man, we hope
will be followed by all the Maritime Powers of
Europe.

We have received Newfpapers from New York I
