The Funds seem to be on the decline. This morn-
ins.', Consuls for the Account, which opened at 73,
hare been sellers at 731, which is still abbot the price.
Report says that some of the early purchasers bare
began to realise. If such be the case, the Funds must be
worse ; ausi in fact, considering the state of affairs in
regard to trade and agriculture, such a result seems
more than probable.

EXTRACT OF A. LE rrg R FROM CHILI.

A copy of the blockade has been seat to Captain
Downes, of the Macedonian, to prevent the evil conse-
quences of which he will immediately proceed to Lima,
from Coquembo, where he will stop to take some men
out of a Chi Hun man of war, who were taken from an
Anicrican ship laying there. Captain Downes says he
is determined to protect all American vessels from being
captured under the above blockade system, considering
it a violation of the law of listions.

The Macedonian arrived here and fogad three Ame-

us, as I do sot believe American property will be in
future secure. These people, or their Ooveritorsk do not
consider it necessary to ask whether they have may just
claims for what they want, but take it, belonging to
whom it may, and leave the questien of right to be set-

IXTRACT OF A LeTTRIt PROM CALRACASt

" Bolivar advanced with his division as far as the river
Twcurgo. General Morillo proceeded to meet them anti
beet his advanced parts; owing to this, on the 16th of
Mwremher, Bolivar evacuated Trnxillo and sent three
Aid-de-Camps one after another, asking a suspensiuo of
arm., and protesting before God and men his innocence
et the blooul that might be shed. On the 26th of Nov.
as Armistice was concluded just at the time when his
destruction seemed almost certain. It is lipid that
Morillo received the license of the King of Spela to re-
turn to his mother country, on the eve of the battle which
was going to take place, and that this circausstawee oc-
visioned the compliance with Bolivar's wishes. Morillo
;Mended to embark on the 20th of December fin. the
• Havannah, and from thence to Spain.'

A motion of great practical importance is appointed
for disrOssion this evening in the House of Commons.
It is that of which the Marquis of Tartsroi I( gave
notice on the second day of the Session, fur a Reso-
lution expressive •f the opinion of the House on the
conduct of Ministers in the late proceedings against
her Mazerer. It will, of mule, not only bring
again under review the topic* that were discussed on
the forma great debates but embrace the whole that
relates to the origin and progress of the business, to the
fairness of the grounds on whirl' the Ministers pro-
ceeded, to the justice of the measures they pursued,
and to the expe4liency of the agitations they produced.
We wish it could go farther still; and instead of being
limited to the conduct of Ministers in the fete proceed-
ings against the Qt•ean, and to those which are the
objects sof public cognizance and responsibility, be
extended to such as have been recently carried
on, in a different form, to bet M intiry's injury, under
the imagined sanction or connivance of thavernment.
Not only does the Ministerial press continue without
cheek or intermission to calumniate the character of
her MAJzsrr, in a manner which did it relate to the
case of a private individual, the common spirit of
manhood would disdain, or the usual exercise of law
would prevent ; but men whom superior rank and
breeding might have been expected to have restrained
from •the practice of personal offence, appear to assume
importance from the use of ontrace towautls a defence-
less and illustrious female, because they find it accept-
-able in that exalted quarter where favour is sub-
stantial reward. It is absolutely necessary that
these abominable sources of irritation should be
completely closed. It is essential for the peace
and welfare of the country that the agitations
which hare so long prevailed, should have a speedy
termination. It is equally necessary and essential,
that the voice of the nation should be heard and re-
spected, and that those who rail themselves the re-
presentatives of the people, should speak the senti-
ments and the language of the great body of their
constituents. Time, which courtiers fondly battered
themselves would of itself allay the ferment they occa-
sioned, continues only to entrease and confirm the
process. Every day affords augmented evidencebf the
universal spread of the popular feeling; and the latest
public meeting that can be called affonls, as in the
case of that of the Freeholders of Surrey, a still more
striking proof than any of the preceding, that public
,apiaitto rolosiva to the Qvaax is liseti epos a hernia
that can never be altered. •

This day hie 3lajesty will arrive at his Palace at
Carlton House, from the Royal Pavilion at Brighton;
and to-tnorrow his 31ajesty will hold a Council of his
('abinet Ministers, when be will inspect the List of
Sheriffs nominated by the Ministers on Saturday last.
From the reception the King obtained from the peo-
ple on his arrival at Brighton, and in his way to and
from the House of Lordly, it is expected his 31a-
jesty will appear more freauently than hereto-
fore in public in the metropolis. It is even reported,
with much confidence, that he intends this week so
visit both Drury-lane and Covent Darden Theatres.—
Workmen are said to be employed in erecting the ne-
cessary accommodations as Covent Garden for the
reception of his Majesty on Wednesday. In corrobo-
ration of this report, we observe that the play hills do.
not, as yet, announce the performance for that night
—a very unusual circumstance.
The Gazette of Saturday contains, by direction of
the Speaker of the Rouse of Commons, the following
notice from the Udterner and Company of the Bank
of Ragland, dated the Ist dot of February 16,2,4.'44.
