. IM. de Calonne’s manifesto, 
intended ta be read at the head 
of the emigrant army, as soon 
asit obtains a footing in France, 
contains the ground work for 
the new constitution which is 
to govern that country. Its 
leading features are the same 
as our own; it proposes to 
have two chambers of parlia- 
ment, of course the nobility 
will be restored. 
. The. American funds have 
fluctuated in a very uncommon 
degree, within. the last six 
months. ‘Those who specula- 
ted in them in the first instance 
made immense sums. And so 
high was the public opinion in 
their favour, that the six per cents 
were run up to L. 150. But 
this fictitious value didnot last 
long ; and the fall has produ- 
ced several considerable failures 
-at New York. They are aow 
down to 120, producing > anin- 
terest of five per cent. 
_ The pope has had another 
apoplectic attack, in a journey 
‘tothe Pontine marshes. On

covered, and expected at Rome. ! 
At. Stockholm every thing 
is in the utmost tranquillity. 
The government notes are ri- 
‘sing every day. The subscrip-

‘I wrote you. to day a few 
lines with the Madras couriers, . 
directed to the care of Mr 
—and did net intend ta. 
write farther at present; but 
the importance of the news. 
just received, which must have 
a great influence in terminating 
the war speedily, has made me 
appropriate the few moments . 
betore the closing of the packet 
for that purpose.

ful beyond every expectation, 
since I last wrote you in Sep- 
tember ;.and the panic. with- 
Tippoo’s best trowps, is now so 
great, that they desert their 
strongest holds on the sight of 
a white face, as you will see 
by the accounts in the couriers .
