Hi,
as France I lost some of the fixed merchants in the Mediterranian shipping boxes and wanted to replace them with new build merchants, but as far as I see they they do not provide me with money & war supplies like the others do.
Is there any setting I have to use or a requirement to fulfill to make them work like the fixed merchants?

Actually newly built merchant do provide supplies and income but only at regular intervals (about 4 times a year).

However, watch out as merchant squadrons that are sunk cost a substantial amount of EPs. As France your greatest source of income remain the smuggling activities, regular income during the year representing taxes and eventually peace treaties. Also, the annexation of Holland tends to refill your coffers somewhat...
