THE FRENCH BUBBLE!
The French Funds which had been rapidly ad-
vancing for several weeks, have within these few
days fallen nearly 5 per Cent. In consequence of the
indefatigable exertions of a party here to bolster them
up, And the confident expectation they held out that
they would 'ere long be at 85, purchases of this
Stock, to an immense amount, have been made from
.
our money market. On inquiry; however, we find
that the same party who have been so active in bols-
tering them up, have suddenly altered their opinion,
and have for some time back been privately selling
out nearly the whole of the stock they held, leaving
their friends to benefit by the good advice they gave
them—and to this mancruvre, the great fall in these
Funds is chiefly to be attributed.

The Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday arrived

PARIS, SEPTRMBRR 15.

A very distressing accident happened yesterday at
Chantilly. The Duke of Bourbon was hunting the
bear ; the animal, being closely pursued, turnedupon
the hoi se on which the Prince rode, and bit it. The
.horse,

, terrified, reared and overthrew his Royal
nest. The fall was violent, but happily no liinb vras
broken. The Prince received a severe contusion on
the head. He was immediately carried to thei cha
tease, where he remained for five hours in a state
insensibility. His Highness was bled twice yesterriV,
and this morning is much better.
The Duke of Richelieu will, it is said, be accosna
pastied to Aix-la-Chapelle by M. Rayneval,' Coda.
:senor of State, and M. Bourjot, Chief of Division in
the .Ministry of Foreign Relations, Messrs. Moil
nits and G. de Caraman are also mentioned as part
of the Embassy:
The Spanish Ambassador at the Court of the Two
Sicilies has repaired to Palermo, to demand, in the
name of the Infant Don Francis Paul, the hind of
the Princess Charlotte, daughter of the Heredititry
Prince, and sister of the Duchess of Berry.
On the 10th instant the Duke of Wellington re-.
viewed, in the plains of Denain, the three divisions
of the English army, with the Saxon, Danish, and
Hanoverian contingents. The troops assembled
amountel to about 28,000. The different corps re•
turned into their cantonments, where they will await

the order of =arch to their respective homes. It is I
worthy of remark, that the Prince Regent's regiment
of Hanoverian cavalry, instead of resuming its old
quarters, in the environs of Lisle, where it was at a
distance from the corps to which it is attached,
has drawn near to Conde, the seat of the Quarter-
General. This change of position has doubtless for
its object to facilitate the movements of the general
departure ; it appears to be the result of dispositions
arranged beforehand for the respective directior of
each contingent.
_ _

&pr.. 11.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Berry, whose pregnancy we lately announced, has
had the misfortune to meet with an accident, which
•brought on a miscarriage yesterday morning. Tlui
child, which was of the male sex, was in its fourth_
month, and lived- nearly two • hours. The state of

he; 11ighneas's health is as satisfactory as could be
espected.—The Duke of Bourbon has recovered his
sensibility, and possesses thefree use of his limbs, but
the lethargy, although less profound, still continues.

MADRID, SEPTEMBER 1.

The following is the extract of a letter from Cadiz,
dated August 25: " The preparations for the grand
expedition to South America are pursued with great
activity. Count Adisbal, who arrived in this city
two days ago, will have the chief command. It is
said that he will have under his orders from eleven
to twelve thousand men, and that he has received
the appointment of Viceroy and Captain-General of
Buenos Ayres. It appears that this expedition will',
be composed of four vessels of the line, six frigates,
some brigantines and gun-boats; and it is hoped that
it will be ready to sail in the course of the month of
November. We are assured that General Adisbal
has brought here three millions of reals (E 31,250),
which the King has given out of his private purse, to
defray the expense of the first equipments, and that
