The Funds this morning with the exception of Omnium, experienced a rise. We do not deem it proper to mention the circumstances to which we hear it attributed.

The private communications by the Anholt mail which arrived on Saturday, are from Konigsburg to the 30th ult. and from Gottenburg to the 10th inst.

Letters from Konigsburg state, that 20,000 French troops had suddenly entered Dantzic, with all their ammunition and artillery, giving out that they were ordered to march towards the Rhine.

From Petersburg there are no letters by the mail, the cause of which is differently explained; it is said on the one hand, to arise from the detention of vessels conveying the mail, by the mistake of a cruizer; and, on the other, to originate in the stoppage of the letters from the Russian capital, by an order of the government at the instance of Lauriston.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, we are sorry to state, lies dangerously ill at his apartments in Kensington Palace. Two Physicians were sent for express on Friday night to attend his Royal Highness.

THE KING.

The following are extracts from the Morning Paper of this day

"The Queen's Council met on Saturday. Only 3 of the members attended-the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Duke of Montrose, and the Earl of Aylesford." They examined the Physicians together with Dr. Simmons and Dr. John Willis, whose advice has been recently taken. The result we understand, is, that no perceptible amendment has taken place in his Majesty's complaint--and it appears evident that the malady is confirmed by an effusion having taken place on the brain, because the King receives no other benefit from sleep than that refreshment of his bodily powers which makes his mental disorder more violent. But, we are sorry to say, that within the space of the last week, his Majesty has most sensibly declined in strength. He is now carried from his bed to his chair, and from his chair to his bed. His head droops on his chest: and though he submits with reluctance to take food, it is with the utmost difficulty that the Physicians can by medical means, assist the digestive powers. The physicians have now given up all hopes of his recovery."
