Notwithstanding the recent fluctuations in the Funds, ve have not heard of any defaultei )ia\ ing been declared on t}iis occa sion. 1 he first part of nn expedition Wider Col. Eyre, and destined t?? join Sir (xkf^.oii M*Gkk*ok, in S. America, sailed on Friday from th< poit oi Dublin. Vessels are no\ on their Way from Jin^lawd to Gal way, to receive another part of Cel. Eyre's corps, ready to embark at that port, and another vessel will he immediately taken up at Dublin, lor a similar pvrpose. It is with much pleasure we learn, from various parts of the country, that there is every appearance of an abundant harvest this year. The wheat in most places are well for ward, and generally, speaking, too much advanced to be much injured by any of those sharp night frosts which may happen during this and the ensuing month. In the counties of Kent, Surrey, ami Sussex, the corn already has a luxuriant appear ance, and the straw is uncommonly * % strong and large. In fruits and vege tables, the \irospect is equally cheer ing, owing to the genial mildness of the seastfn. Potatoes, that must im portant article of wholesome and nutricious food to the laboring class es, are expected to turn up mud. better than they did last year. We hope, most sincerely, that all (best joyful promises of plenty will be fulh realized. Letters are received from Cadiz up.to the 25th ult. If there be any truth in the report which was men tioned in a Morning JPaper of yester day, as to a mutiny among the troops embarking for S. America, the af fair is kept very secret. The letters state there was no news, and that every thing remains tranquil. The advices from Madrid were to tin 4th inst.; they contained no politi cal news of any inter st. We are sorly to state, that very unpleasant intelligence respecting the plague in Baibary was yesterday re ceived. The letters were dated the 17th of March, at which time the plague, which had been decreasing tor some months, had returned with redouble! fury.?The deaths were greater than had been experienced during the last fatal year. The in habitants were neglecting all theii usual avocations, and were shutting themselves up in their huts. _Ilis Royal Highness the I>uke of York has by a fall, about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon broken the bone of Ins right arm three inches above the elbow joint. The fracture was set very soon after by Mr. O'lteilly, of Windsor. His Royal highness has passed a quitft night, and is this morning free from fever, and doing in all respects as well as under the circumstauces can be expected. APRIli 10. J Willi regard to tire subject of the diminution of the duties on British ships, the Portuguese Government had not come to apy determination. The captures by Insurgent privateers were so frequent, that a number of trading vessels were detained at ttio Janerio, Pernarftbnco, and other ports. The squadron in search of them^ which had been out ciuiaing in Janu* afy and February, had cleared the seas of only a lew of those which saijed badly.

Upon the above Stock Exchange rumors, we must beg that our silence may not be constiued, as some of our cotemporaries have done, into an admissiou of the correctness of them.

March 87, received in London. u An express, travelling with the greatest liaMe, and despatched by ueneral CyDonnell, from Cadiz, ha.-, arrived bere> and the contents of tha despatches have spread a most visi ble alarm among ministers. i4 A most sensible alteration is re marked in Lozano de Torres and figuaia. A great bustle has been created in the departments under their charge, and as thfy * are the chief barometers in which the public judge ofaflairx, curiosity has (>ecn consid erably awakened : as fcr as it has possible to from sym^/on's attended w ith iini^u tl mystery and alarm, as well as from what it ha been possible to gather in p hat channels, it is believe*! mat (Je.i. i.. O'Donnel. the Commander iri Chiel of the irraml ex'jt-uiii ?n, h:>? dUco\ - w i 7 eied a plot, prepared hy the disaf fected tailed upon to embark. It is rumored that he expresses hi* dis trust of some officers who have con siderable influence umoug the men, and that besides mnnmiis on account of pay. kc, there is a great clashing of feeling and sentiment, some being Serviles, others Liberal*, and some again .Tf'ancesad'js, aud a fourth class, imn who consider themselves under a state of compulsion. It is thought he has requested fresh in structions and powers, w hereby much dilemma has been created, though jiie government was well aware that this new service was not liked, and some difficulties at the moment of eni-J barking were even anticipated-?to remedy which, it had been propos^ ? hat the King should go dow u lo^Ca-j diz, under a hope that his presence w ould give greater eclat and overaw e1 ithe discontented. " i Ins certainly w ould be a novel ty, fur Spanish monarchs have sel dom quitted the capital, unless on hunting parties; but it is whispered the "King has a particular antipathy to visiting Cadiz ; a tow n so lately devoted to the Cortes and new order of things.?The malevolent might say he was himself going to Ameri ca, as they did of his father, when Tie thought of visiting Andalusia.? Besides arrangements are on the tap as for the King's third marriage.? This dissatisfaction among the tronp has been caused by the general dis like to Ik* sent out to serve in An.eri ? a, which has always been consider ed a kind of banishment, and ac counts received from Morillo's armv * have by no means tendered to remove it. The conduct of the party on board the Trinidad transport, has been publicly talked of at the nies se*> dndappT?vednsfar it was dar rd. The Spanish army never wa fond of a ciiief who is a rigid dis ciplinarian, and austere in his man ners.?This is the rase with O'Dori nell, who kfeeps them tight at work. "The disturbances at Valencia* have not yet terminated. Klio is constantly alarmed by pasquena dtfF. and anonymous letters The] oioouv euicis ne published have ex cited general discontent. " The cession of the tHoridas i talked of here as a measure long j?g resolved upon by this government.

Little, ov uo gratitude istelt towards England, wjiofce gov ernment, it is supposed, secretly fa vors the Insurgents.

MAY 7* Letters were yesterday received in his place from Curracoa, which state that Brion's squadron, composed o nearly SO sail, which had sailed from Margaritta for Cuuiana, had expert* enced a severe gale, in which the whole squadron had t>een either dis masted ov otherwise injured, and that the Commodore's ship had with great difficulty succeeded in returning to Alargaritta, with 9 feet water in> her hold.

Other advices say, that Bollivar was completely paralizid in his military operations. MAY 18. By the arrival of H.

Seventy three officers wero matched off'to Panama, and General More, after making all necessary ar rangements respecting the disposal of his forces and the security of the prisoners, returned to Panama byway of Chagres.
