Probably one •f the hardest struggles has been made for seve-
ral days to raise the Funds, which has occurred for some time•
The Stock folsrket appears to be divided betwixt two very strong
parties, i. c. the 'Change, who are large Bulls, and the Jew In-
terest, who for a length of time carried every thing before them.
the Bears.—Consols have been rising the last few days from 78

to 78 5-4ths, at which price they have been currently done this
morning; but many eminent Brokers, who generally operate

for the Jews, supplied the Commissioners with the whole of
their Stock at 78 5-eths ; this made the market something
worse, and at the above time they were about 78 and a half.—
Many reports have prevailed of a new plan of Finance which
the CHAIICALLOS of the acersanza is said to be bringing forward,
by raising money on Debentures, and this has, in some measure,
gut the market up. Until, however, we shall be better informed
upon the ,object, we are not disposed to give it ouch credit.

The Paris Papers of Friday arrived last night ; and
this morning we hare also received those of Saturday.
The KING has, by a Royal Decree, ordered the
prompt rebuilding of the Odeon Theatre. He has
authorized, by the same Decree, the Actors of that
Theatre to represent regular Dramas, as at the
Theatre Francois.
The departure of the Duke of WELLINGTON is said
to be postponed to the 15th of April. Some of these
Journals allude to the accounts in the English Papers,
of the state of the negeciations about private claims
on France, and of the efforts of the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON to conciliate all interests, and to accelerate
results important to the continuance of European
tranquillity ; but they make no comments, and at•
tempt to give no additional iaformation.
The rage of emigration from the Eastern frontiers
of France, to colonise the desarts of Russia, appears
to-have led to the results which might have been an-
ticipated. A small number have returned, perfectly
cured of their mania, and, like the spies sent to view
the Promised Land, have given the most melancholy
accounts of the sufferings they endured, and of the
want and wretchedness to which their more patient
and adventurous fellow-countrymen are subjected.
They found only scarcity, where they expected plenty;
and with increased wants, joined to a diminished de-
mans for labour, the greatest part of these wretched
men—at a distance from their friends, their relations,
and their country—are said to expire without conso-
lation. The Emperor ALLXANDER has, in conse-
quence; prohibited the admission of any more foreign
Colonists, without the express leave of their own
Government.

In the Sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of
Thursday last, some of the remaining articles of the
Law on the Customs were discussed. The 34th Ar-
ticle, which goes to allow the transit of colonial pro- I
duce through the departments of the Rhine, which
produce shall enter by Strasburg, and pass out by
St. Louis, excited a warm discussion. An amend-
ment was proposed by M. de la BoLa.vz, fixing for
the deposit of such produce a particular place, and
allowing it to remain there only for the time necessary
for its discharge and verification, &c. M. RICHARD
opposed this transit-trade by land, as injurious to the
interests of the maritime ports. The amendment,
after a great deal of speaking, was put and carried.
The transit through Alsace was rejected by a majo-
rity of five votes. The discussion of the remaining
articles was resumed on Friday, and the whole pro-
ject being then put the vote, there appeared, out of
175 voters, a majority of 164 for its passing into a
law.---The Project of Law relative to the Abolition
of the Slave Trade stood also for discussion on Fri-
day, but no Member offered to speak upon it, and it
was passed in silence by a majority of 117 to 19. •

Prince TALLEYRAND, in a letter to the Editor of
the Mon tour, referring to an intended publication of
the posthumous Memoirs of the Dnc de LAuzus,
complains, that since they came from the hands of
the author, they have been horribly interpolated and
falsified. The deceased, he says, was emimently a
man of correct feeling and good taste, and could not
have written the odious satires and gross calumnies
attributed to him, against French and foreign Ladies,
and particularly against an august person—(Qu. the
Duchess of AucouLama 4—who has displayed as
flinch goodness in the highest rank, as she has shewn
grandeur of soul in an excess of misfortune.
