THE FUNDS.

S per Cent. Reduced 78 78.1-1 per Cent. Cons. shut

Consols commenced at 79i, went to 79i, but se=
renal of the principal Brokers then began to sell for
die Jew interest, and they fell to 79k, with the Mar-
ket looking as gloomy as the day. The determina-
tion to limit the Discounts at the Bank, has created
general confusion among the Speculators and the
Jews have been completely foiled, from this unfore-
seen circumstance. Near a million of paper was
thrown out by the Bank on Thursday.

We were enabled by the arrival, at a late hour
yesterday, of the Monitemr of Tuesday, to communi-
cate, in a part of our impression, the 'official an-
nouncement of the actual changes which have taken
place in the French Ministry. The Members who
have retired are the Duke of RICHELIEU, M. LAINE,
PAsclutint, Count MOLE, and M. Roy; and they
have been succeeded in their respective departments
by' the Marquis Dessotzs, Count de CAZES, M. de
SERRE, Baron PORTAL, and../laron Lou.A Marshal
St.Cya retains his former.appointment. as Minister
of War. The Ministry of Police is suppressed.
It will be seen, from this authentic list of the new
French Ministry, that it includes some names which
were not anticipated in Oirprisque accounts pre-
viously received. The Premiership, - particular,
has not, as Was generally expected, heen conferred on
4.7 e B. uru. de Cazcs, but on the Marquis DESSOLES,
whose name had not even been once mentioned in
any of the various lisiS of pew7Members which were
in circulation. As the Count; hoWever, is allowed on
all hands to be the triumphant party in this Cabinet
Revolution, it is more than probable that he has
yielded, as a matter of choice, to'those considerations
hinted at in the private letters which we quoted yes-
terday, a.td piefertud the Ministry of the Interior,
ith its collateral Direction of the General Police,
to the higher official rank which rumour had assigned
him, in cotjunctic,n with his present •JfEce.
The united Ministries of the Lite! i-Sr and Police,
from the nature of their delicate and extensive du •
ties, must bring the administrator of them into more
immediate contact with the spirit of party, with
public opinion, and with the most interesting rela-
tions between the people and the Government, than
any other office under the French Crown. It is, in
fact, the post both of difficulty and danger; and we
have not observed any person on the stage of French
politics, who seems better calculated by his experi-
ence, active habits of business, and sound and libe-
ral principles, to execute the duties of that post with
uprightness, ability, and success.
The Marquis DESSOLES, the new Premier, was in
1814, the Commander of the National Guard of
Paris ; when be conducted himself so as to acquire
the perfect confidence of the Km:, and was raised to
the Peerage in June of the same year: he is a Lieu-
tenant-General of the Armies of France, a Knight of
St. Louis, and Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour,
and was, previous to his present exaltation, a Mem-
ber of the Privy Council, and a Minister of State.
M. de SLIME was President of the Chamber of
Duptities during the last Session, and was within four
votes of obtaining the same dignity this year: he is
a Knight of St. Louis, and of the Legion of Honour,
and was, before his new appointment, one of the
Council of State, and a Member of the Committee
of Logislaion.

M. LOUIS was Minister of Finance in 1814, being
one of dee Administration of which M. TALLEYRAND
was at the head : he is a Grand Cross of the Legion
of Honour, and a Member of the Chamber cf Depu-
ties ; he was also a Member of the Privy Council,
and a Minister of State.

M. Pont.At. is an Officer of the Legion of Honour,'
and a Member of the Chamber of Deputies ; he has
also been one of the Council of State since May,
ISI4, and has been, for two years past, intrusted
,nith the Direction of the Colonial Branch in the De-
partment of the Minister of Marine, over the whole
ci which he is now appointed to preside.
