The Funds have experienced some depression this
morning. Consols for the account have bee, done as
low as 721 ; this is owing to an opinion that some of
the great speculators are selling, though some still
assert there is a probability of a farther rise.
Money is not near so plentiful, as it has fetched Five
per Cent cusrentiv, and the continuation from this ac-
count to the next in April, is a half per Cent. which
pays above Five per Cent. interest.
Paris papers of the 7kb arrived this morning.

foreigners are at present io that capital. It is reported
in High Italy, that the King of Naples has published
some important declarations. He is represented as be-

[FROM A ST. JACO DS I.A VLGA PAPIR OF DEC.
A motion was made in the House of Assembly this
day as follows:
“ That a Committee be appointed to prepare an
bumble petition to bin Majesty setting forth t►e deplor-
able situation to which his Majesty's loyal subjects,
the Sugar Planters of this place, are eadoct& by
the present state of the markets In (iron;" Britain,
for their prodseet showing the effects which the
continuance of the Slave Trade bb the Spaniards
and Portuguese, must necessarily have on the prices of
.Sugar and Rum sent to Europe; and the injustice of
eostinning to enforce restrictions which compel us to
send all our Sugar and Runs to the mother country ;
praying that restrictions and regulations which have
been found so grievous, may be viewed, and inch altera-
tions made as the present cireninstances require—and a
Committee was appointed for that purpose."

Tea RICIR.—The ice en the river seems now to be
perfectly fixed, and although none has ventured to cross
it higher up than what it commonly called Orant's
Island, yet as the cold has become pretty intense, there

city, to the other side, before Friday.

The proceedings in the House of Commose lastoight

tions then presented ti the Honor, was one Irmo a not
and respectable body of the freeholders of
Cheshire, complaining of the conduct of the High She.
