TRICK OT STOCKS THIS DAY AT OtlZ O'CLOCK :

No variation has taken place in the Ftinds this
morning. Consols commenced at 74i for the Ac-
counts; a considerable deal of business has been
done, and some very heavy sales made. The Com-
missioners purchased in the Consoli, andwere served
at 741 by the Jobbers generally.

By an Official Account of the Net -Produce of the
Revenue of Great Britain in the years ending sth
April, 1818, and sth April, 1819, it appears that the
latter amounted to £49,056,563, and the former to
£47,247,631—Exce5s in favour, sth January, 1819,
£1,808,932. The produce of the Revenue, exclusive
of Property and unappropriated War Duties, was,

In the April Quarter, 1817 A 9,510,211
Ditto 1818 10,249,207
Ditto 1819... ....... ..........

Though there is an increase on the whole, there is,
v.'e understand, a deficiency in the Customs and some
o.:1-.er branches, for the last Quarter, to a considera-
ble amount. There is an excess in the Excise. We
hay e not yet been able to procure the precise particu-
lars ; but, however they may appear, we have abmi-
da:-.t evidence, from the state of Commerce in the
City ar.d in the Manufacturing Districts, that the
Trade of the country is at this moment labouring
under great embarrassments.

The etccouchement of her Royal Highness the Du-
chess of CAMBRIDGE, which we announced yesterday,
was published in the London Gazette of last night.
This event took place in the city of Hanover, at ten
rnina:es past two in the morning of Friday, the 26th
ultimo. The same Gazette -announces, that on the
following day the Duchess of CLARENCE was de-
livered of a daughter, at seven in the morning, which,
we concetued to state, died the same afternoon.

Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this morning,
but their contents are unimportant.

The petition of the widow of Marshal Bowie, to
have the murderers of her husband brought to jus-
tice, has been favour-ably receiveckby the King, who
has given orders to the Ksinsza of the§44,a to in-
stitute a prosecution at Paris, against thapos!snns ac-
cused.—The rejection of the proposition. of-M. It•
THELEMY had determined several Cities •to abstain
from petitioning on the subject, to which it sefeired
nevertheless, new petitions are daily arriving at the
Chamber of Deputies, demanding the maioterrance
of Law of Elections.

Marshal MACRONALD had, on Saturday, a long
audience of his MAJESTY.

Prince PAM of W/RTEMBERG, who in eat sequence
of a difference with the KING, his brother, has been
for some time past resident at Paris, is reported to be
on the eve of returning home. Some doubts are now
raised as to the accuracy of the report of the death
of Sand, the assassin of KoTzenur.. It was said to
have taken place on the night of the 25th or 26th,
but the Journal de Paris states, that accurding to its
letters from that city, he was still living on the '27th.
French 5 per Cents. Saturday, with div. from 22d
March, 66fr. 95c.

The Rev. JOHN SANFORD, Chaplain to the Duke
of CAMBRIDGE, set out yesterday for Hanover, to
perform the sacred duty of baptizing the Royal In-
fant, by the appointment of his Rcyal Highness the
PRINCE RECRNt. .

We are happy to state that the accident reported
to have happened to Mr. BELLASIS, on Tuesday week,
by being rode over by a carriage, is not correct. The
Gentleman, who is in good health, met with no acci-
dent whatever. _ _

The statement which appeared in the Papers, men-
tioning th. death of Lady STUART, at Paris, the
mother of the Enlish Ambassador at that place, has
been contradicted; that Lady being at present in
England, in perfect health.
Lord DORMER died on the 2d instant at Paris.
Baron D'OMPTEDA, Envoy Extraordinary and Mi-
nister Plenipotentiary from the Court of Hanover to
the Holy See, died at Rome on the 23d March, after
a short illness. _ _

Dr. &roam as we lately announced, came to
England from St... Helena in copsequence of a differ-
ence of opinion between him and Sir HUDSON Lows,
as to his duty respecting the reports of conversations
had with BONAPARTN. This Gentleman, we under-
stand, was yesterday examined by Ministers, and the
result has been, that he is immediately to resume his
functions at St. Helena. The inference from this is,
that his conduct has been fully approved of. We
understand that it had been required of him to report
every word communicated by BONAPARTE, even In
confidence, and that whether it could have any rela-
tion to the political condition of the prisoner or not;
and that he had refused to accede to this requisition
of Sir HUDSON Lows.

We understand that proceedings have been com-
menced against the Proprietors of a Weekly Journal,
for having published the First Part of Lord BYRON'S
Tale, entitled The Vampyre, which, it appears, was
first, printed as a separate Work, entered at FKationers'
Hall, and published, by permission, in The New
Monthly Magazine of April 1.

We have it not in our power to communicate to
our Readers any improvement in the general aspect
of Commerce : on the contrary, almost every descrip-
tion of merchandize is rapidly falling in value, and
the losses occasioned to the mercantile world must be
tremendous and attended with fatal consequences.
The general feature of the information we have this
day to impart is a gradual renewal of those connec-
tions between the Colonies and their respective mo-
ther countries which the war had tended to.sever ; in
consequence of which, they will be supplied without
our intervention with such produce as their Colonies
yield, whilst the Americans, by the cheapness with
which they can navigate the ocean, will not fail to
supply. them with such other goods as might other-
wise leach them throuL,h our 'medium, but which,
owing to the burthens imposed upon our trade, can-
not be furnished froin us without a considerable in-
crease of price.
It is the duty of our Legislature, as well as of our
merchants, to contract their expenses to the smallest
possible scale, in order to enable us to vie with other
nations, or our trade, and of course our revenue,
will suffer a considerable reduction. The present cir-
cumstances arc so critical, that prudent men have de-
termined to rest awhile upon their oars, and content
themselves with observing the general tendency of
commercial affairs.
STOCK EXCHANGF-
We are not aware that we have any observations
to offer this day under this head calculated to throw
any light upon the operations in the Funds. Stocks
genera) ly improving—appear to have received a slight
check from the communication made in the House
with respect to the Report of the Bank Committee.
We continue of opinion that the bia; will he in favour
of an advance, in consequence of large sums being
ultimately withdrawn from trade and invested in the
Funds ; but we are of course unable to foresee every
fluctuation which the various speculations and opi-
nions cf the Jobbers may have upon their value. The
market closed heavily yesterday, and continues de-
pressed to-day, in consequence of large Sales by the
Jobbers.
