PAnts, Nov. 5. • As we said yesterday, Mesas. Ls&te and his Company went yesterday at two o'clock to the Commissioners of Hayti, to make publicly their offer, together with the other Companies. The latter tot baying presented themselves, and having sent word by the broker who wee sent to inform them that they should not come again, it was not till after four o'clock that the negotiations for the settlement were announced. At tine o'clock the Company of Witte had exceeded by above three per cent. the offer which had been made on the public bid dings, and nothing baring been settled, the contracting parties se parated without any engagement on either side.. In the evening the negottadons were resumed by M. Ternaux's beoka (Agent de Change), who bad been present at the public bid ding& ' " A new Company, which had not taken part in the public biddir.ge, came forward a compete with the Company Lague; but some modificadone to the nature of the oh/tandem having been proposed by it and adopted by the Commissioners, it consented to pay 801/ franca for each annuity of 1,000 francs ; that is to say, above five per cent. more than the tender of the two Companies, Deltmert and Andre Cottien ; and the affair was finally concluded at one o'clock after midnight, by Air. Maumee, exchange broker. The contracting company is composed of Messrs. J. Lilian and Co. the Syndicate of the Receiver-General, Mews. Rothschild, brothers, Paravey and Co., Ardoin, Hubbard, and Co., J. Hager. man, Blanc, Cohn, and Co., and some French houses, which are cot named in the contract.

' A French Ministerial Paper states, that a Commercial Treaty was signed on the Slat of October by Count de Sr. CRICQ and Baron MaCIAU on one side, and the Sena tors DAUNEC and Rot ANNEZ and Colonel FaIMONT on the other side. This Treaty would not, of course, be officially published until it has been duly ratified by the Haytian Government. The following, however, is undo stood to be a correct outline of its provisions : it is founded on the principle of the entire and perfect independence of the new Republic. It explains the first article of the Royal Ordinance of the 17th of April, so that in opening the ports of Hayti to the vessels of all nations, no kind of obstacle is raised to the free exercise of the right belonging to the Hayden Government by the simple fact of its inde pendence, to shut or open its ports to nations friendly or hostile to the Republic. This treaty also extends to the whole Island the privilege of paying only half the duties of cus tom s on commodities imported or exported in French vessels. By the Royal Ordinance, this privilege was reserved only for that part of the island which was formerly French. Finally, the treaty fixes the duty payable on the importa tion of all Haytian produce, except sugar, into France, at an ioternactliate amount between the duty levied on the produce of the French Colonies, and that on produce of foreign origin. The other commercial relations of the two nations are regulated on similar principles of reciprocity. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. There was a perfect calm in the English Stock Market, and Consols were all day 87 f for the November account. If we except a considerable improvement in Greek Bonds, and in the Mexican Mining Associations, the same remark will apply to the Foreign and Share Market, prices continu ing the same in all other Stocks as on Friday. In the course of the morning Greek Bonds advanced to 26. The cause of this improvement was attributed to the expected departure of Lord Cochrane, which, it is reported, will immediately take place, in the Piranga Brazilian frigate, for the purpose of aiding the Greeks in their struggle. His Lordship, it is said, has received the Piranga as a act-off s for all the claims he has against the government of Brazil. The improvement in the Mexican Mining Shares W 33 also considerable : no particular cause was assigned. The advices received this morning are certainly highly fa vourable, and could not fail to produce a beneficial effect upon the market. Accordingly the Shares of the Anglo- Mexican Company advanced to 35, and left off firmly at and those of the United Mexican Association closed at 124. COVEII77':( 7 ; - Ait - IiFT4V THEATRE.

At a late hour last night we received the Paris Papers of Saturday ; those of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, had arrived in the course of the evening. The fete day of CHARLES X, was celebrated on Friday with public re joicings, which appear to have been generally shared by the multitude. The Km°, in returning frour mass, showed himself to the people at the glazed gallery of the Tuileries, and was very loudly and generally applauded. The contract for the Haytian Loan was concluded late en Friday night, or rather Saturday morning ; the terms are 80 francs. The contracting company includes the firms of J. LATITTt and Co. the ROTHSCHILD., brothers, ARDOIN, HEDIARD, and Co. and the Syndicate of the Receivers- Genoa'. There was tome difficulty in settling this transaction. The public bidding. were all much below what the Ilaytian Commissioners expected; thy-highest did not exceed 744. Some modifications were made in the nature of the obligations, but to what purport we are not oformed. The private negotiations were on foot from five in the afternoon till one the following morning. 'f he produce of this loan of thirty millions, at HO francs, will amount only to twenty-four millions. As the first in stalment of the indemnity would be due this day, the Bth onstar•.t, the Haytian Commissioners would pay it them helves with the cash in their possession. The remainder would be discharged from the proceeds of the loan. The only foreiin intelligence in these Papers relates to Greece. The Etuilc affirms confidently that the cim paign has closed with advantage to the Patriots; and, in support of this assertion, refers to the se►ere losses sus tained by the barbarians in the siege of Nlissolonghi. It is again reported that the Seraskier, REDSCHID PACHA, has retreated from his position before that place, and abandoned all further proceedings against it; but this news has been so often repeated, that we must wait till other advices confirm it before we give it credence.

FRENCH PAPERS. IFront the Contlitutionnel of Thursday, Nov. 31 trawl ♦ PRIVATE LETTER.] ZANTE. OCT. 11. Two vessels, from the coast of Laconia, give us the following nein After having assembled all his army, Ibrahim Paeha set out, on the 9th of September, towards Sikhs, the issues of which were en. tirely unprovided with troops. At his approach the peaceable in. habitants abandoned the town, which the Egyptians, in their fury, burnt. They then continued their march In the western valley of Laconia, as far as Archangelos. Thence Ibrahim Pecha proposed to advance by the opposite valley, towards Monensbasia, but he had scarcely arrived at Mount Zagota, when Colocotroni, who had just occupied the passage with 4000 men, made a valiant resistance. During three days several combats took place, all of which ended to the advantage of the Greeks. Towards the end of the third day, the brave Nicetas, arriving with a reinforcement of 2000 men, decided the affair. Ibrahim, who, in these various actions, had just lost 3900 men, was repulsed, and pursued as far as Pentalonia,a eery disadvantageous position, because it has only two issues, which the Greeks have already occupied. We expect with impatience further news. According to the latest accounts, the Greek fleet had quitted the vicinity of Omens, and approached towards Alexandria, waiting for the sailing of the united Egyptian and Turkish fleets now in that port. LUBECE, OCT. 23. The affair of the Swedish ships of war is so far settled that Messrs. Benedleks and Michaeleattretain them, as nobody would pay the forfeit agreed upon in ass the bargain was revoked, but all the Swedish naval officers bars . qeltsed the ships, and are re placed by others, who are no longer m the Swahili service, having resigned their commissions at different times.

[From the Journal de Paris.] DRESDEN, OCT. 25. (PRIVATE LwYTEtt.) The Queen has been taken suddenly ill, and as the disorder ap. peen serious, the death of her brother the King of Bavaria has not been announced to her. The Court has not gone into mourn ing, in order the better to conceal from her the knowledge of this melancholy event. Letters received at Leipsie, direct from Corfu, state, that Redschid Pacha having suffered such great losses in his several attacks on 3lissolonghi, has been under the hard necessity of retreating. His discouraged troops have commenced their march to Arta and Janina. The Sertskier had scarcely set out when he received the bad news that a considerable corps of Albanians in the Turkish pay had been attacked suddenly by the Commanders of the Greek partisans in the rear of the Ottoman army, at a short distance from the Ache. lons, and that, after a smart action, the Albanians were completely put to die route, leaving 700 of their number on the field of battle. [From the Consithaionnel of Friday.l Pants. Nov. 3. The Greek Committee have received letters fro m Zante, dated 20th September, from Captain Arnaud, intrusted with the care of the expedition sent to the Greeks by the Committee. They contain no further news than those given by General Roche of the 17th, but they, in addition, relate the enthusiasm of the inhahi tants of the lonian Islands for the heroic conduct of the defenders of AI issolonghi. These letters confirm the accounts of the ravages occasioned by the plague at Navarino, Motion, and Coron, and which has been equally fatal at Alexandria. TJhe position of Ibrahim Pacha is exceedingly critical, and his embarrassments must daily thicken upon him If he does not speedily receive reinforcements. 'rhe Greek fleets are watching those of the Capitan Pacha and the Egyptians. It was not doubted that they would soon meet, and, judging from the past, the most favourable hopes were entertained for tile Greek sailors. Condunoms, who at the first refused to sign the act of Napoli dl Romania, has resumed the Presidency, and Mavrocordato remains Minister for Foreign Affairs. Captain Arnaud sends the Com mittee tile most positive assurance of the ardent desire of the officers who accompany hint to devote elemselves to the sacred cause of the Hellenists. BUENOS AYRES. Extract of a letter received at Glasgow, and dated Buenos Ayres, August SE) : " The country is improving very much, and the Eng lish are much tespected. In every mouth there is George Canning. They call him their best friend ; this is highly pleasing. We are still without a clergyman, but we ex pect one soon. All relistimui are now not only tolerated, but a law has passed, declaring that it is the indisputable right of every one living in Buenos Ayres to worship God in the mode most agreeable to his conscience. •' We arc afraid that there will be a war between this and Brazil, on account of the Banda Oriental. The people of Buenos Ayres, and generally of the other provinces in the Union, arc willing to go to war. This Government is raising forces and marching troops to the frontiers. Go vernment is purchasing vessels to form a navy. Indeed every thing seems to be combining to bring it on, and the only hope there is of avoiding it will be in the efforts that Sir Charles Stuart may make with the Emperor of Brazil to give up the Banda Oriental. The fact is this, the people of the Banda Oriental, to a man, detest the Brazilians, and nothing but a strong force will keep them down. We have from eight to twelve Brazilian vessels of war cruising in the river. The union of the Provinces of the ancient Vice-Royalty is now nearly formed. They have had a general Congress for sotne time. The United States arc Buenos Ayres, Entre Rios, Mendoza, San Luis, Tucuman, Santiago, Del Entera, Santa Fe, Corrientes, San Juan, Cordova, Salta Catamarca, and Banda Oriental."

Shakspetrea tragedy of Romeo and Juliet was fgrformed at this house last night, when the character of Joliet wits sustained by a young lady, " her first appearance on any stage." The fair debutante possesses a reasonable share of personal requisites for the part. Her figure is striking and elegant : her features of a pleasing description, and not ill calculated for the purposes of staae. expression. In the earlier scenes there was a good deal of playfulness; but as the piece advanced, and those situations which require greater energy and exertion in the performer, occurred, we did not think her so successful. The balcony scene gave cccasion for several happy efforts, but her style of playing it throughout was more ambit/ma than natural. There was a straining after points and effects, which in any character other than the gentle Juliet might have done better. The mode in which the actress threw herself into the arms of the Nurse, in the scene with that tetchy household authority, reminded us strongly of Miss O'Neill ; but on the whole the coaxing and wheedling was not so well managed as by that delightful per former. It has been already intimated that !he subsequent scenes were not sustained with an effect equal to the earlier efforts; a circumstance we would willingly attribute to the naise of the galleries and the novelty of the debutante's situation. Whether she is possessed of mental (as well as personal) qualifications to enable her to support the ar duous line of character she has undertaken must be left to future trials to determine. Iler reception was highly flattering, and favourable throughout. Mr. Wallack is an indifferent Romeo; at least all must think 59 who have seen Charles Kemble in the part. Mr. Browne made Mereutio look very blue. According to Dr. Johnson Shakspeare killed Mereutio in the third act from in ability to carry the character through the play. Mr. Browne effected more • and did his business in the first. Mr. Pope performed the Friar with considerable ability; and, according to the bills, for " the first time." It cer tainly was a condescension. To the play succeeded the grand historic pantomime drama of Perourc in which there is some good scenery and abundance oidaneing, mummery, and monkeys. COVENT-GARDEN. The novelty of last evening was the appearance of Madame Vestris at this house, for the first time. She sus tained the character of Artaxerxes, in Dr. Arne's excellent opera of that name. The performance of this opera is ever a musical feast to the lovers of that divine art. The ex quisite simplicity of its melody, mixed with its deeply eru dite combination, affords a power of attraction both to the scientific and to the uncultivated ear, beyond perhaps any other opera on the English, or, we had almost said, on the Italian stage. The character of dr taxerus, though by no means the principal or even the second in the opera, has nevertheless acme very beauti ful solos, besides one or two most delightful airs ; all of which are admirably adapted to the voice of Madame Vestris, which is a tenor of great force and melody. There is a deep internal volume of sound in her lower notes, a richness of intonation, a voluptuousness of cadence, a dove like mellowness of tone, that seems, as it were, to echo its own melody, and repose upon its own sweetness. She sang—" In infancy our hops and fears" with her usual taste and science, and gave to that beautiful air the fullest expression of sentiment. The second time (for of course she was encored? surpassed the first in power, if not in feel ing. This lady s recitative is always good, though there is something perhaps like a want of keeping in her action towards other male characters; but this is the result of all-powerful nature, who, disguise her as you will, is triumphant still; and Madame Vestris, though she ploy the King, cannot forget that she is still a woman. Her first appearance here has been most decidedly favourable. She was very cordially received by a crowded audi ence, and was warmly applauded throughout the opera. Miss l'aton sustained the part of Mundane, in a manner worthy of the high musical talent she possesses. Her voice improves both in strength and compass, and her sci ence and taste arc every way equal to it. She, however, sang, " If o'er the cruel tyrant, Love," which is an irresist ible appeal to the sentiments, and seems in its genuine simplicity 'above all art, too powerfully and impassioned. It should be breathed like the very despair of love, and its notes should fall from her lips " like the liquid drops from the bending flower." At its close she redeemed this devi ation, and her voice tremulously died away as the conflict of passion expired in her bosom. The quartette by Mad. Vestris, Miss Paton, Miss Love, and Mr. Pcarman, seemed like " a congregation of sweet sounds floating in the air." The voices, harmonized, blended, and inter twined with all the fantasy of the most exquisite cunning; and wrought upon the over-charmed sense an oppressiveness of delight. It was encored, and would have been a second time, but that a better taste prevailed; for beautiful as music is, there is something equally so, and that is—pro priety. Madame Vestris afterwards played Maria Darlington in .4,Rotchild /hr an Oliver, and looked as if she were formed and fashioned for that captivating character. The scene between her and Jone 7, where she sings to him while feigning to be " lunatic," was admirable, and, as is the fashion, was encored. This is a custom which is be coming too prevalent, and will by and by make it a very equivocal sort of a compliment. If any certain rule could be laid down in this matter, it would be well, but as it seems to depentLentirely on the good sense cf the audience,we know no remedy, and can only caution those performers who are the object of it not to take it as an unerring criterion of approbation on the one hand, nor on the other to suppose the hisses that are occasionally mixed up with it are directed at them. These observations, perhaps, are somewhat ill timed when speaking of Madame Vestris; but site will understand us, and that is sufficient. - • - Botha is engaged by Ebers to compose the music for the ballets at the King s Theatre, for the ensuing season.

MoNTGOMERY.—The public dinner at Sheffield to this gentleman on his retirement from his labours as a public writer took place on Friday last, Viscount Milton in the Chair. One hundred and sixteen persons sat (town to dinner. The Noble Chairman addressed the meeting in an animated manner in commendation of their distinguished guest, and the speech of Mr. Montgomery on his health being drank, was a master-piece of eloquence. He en tered into parts of his own history for the purpose of stating the difficulties which he had had to encounter, and naming the friends who had assisted him. On the same day another dinner of forty persons took place in Sheffield, as a mark of respect towards the talents, virtues, and services which have been rendered to the town by Mr. Montgomery.

TRADE OF RUSSIA.—As a proof of the increase our export trade, it may be mentioned, that according to the most recent accounts, the exportation of tallow this year has been three million pools. The exportation ct hemp, flax, timber, potashes, oil, copper, iron, &c., is like. wise considerable, and the national manufactures are dame improving. In the Baltic provinces the exportation of corn is completely stagnant ; they begin to cultivate snore flax, which meets with an advantageous market in Lag land or Portugal. The whole amount of exports from Finland in Mt, was to the value of 5,723,311 rubles; imports, 4,673,557. —SL Petersburg-1i Paper, Oct. 19. CON arNaTs ox.—The combination mania has seized the crews of the fishing boats at Gravesend, where all the vs:- sels are fitted out, for the supply of the London marlst with cod, salmon and lobsters from Scotland. There were one hundred and sixty of these smacks at Gravesend the other day, not one of which would proceed on their voyage, until the owners consented to raise their wages.

IMPORTANT ISIEROCEMENT IN TALLOW CANDLES,— Every one knows that innumerable attempts have been made to refine tallow, so as to give It those desirable quali ties that render wax so an The great superiority of wax consists in its melting point being considerably higher than that of tallow, and hence the property of carrying a much thinner wick, which does not require snuffing, eta: bearing a brighter and more sprightly flame. After many years of laborious study and experiments, Mr. Matthew Grange, of Charlemont-street, has succeeded in purifying tallow so perfectly, that his candles have been frequen:ly substituted for wax, and havepassed for such at the partici of people of distinction. They burn slowly and steadily. the wicks are thin, the flame is of a lively colour, and ti:ey show a considerable tr a n s p arency towards the top. In thS process of extreme purification of the t a ll ow , M r . G ran s : attained another object of great moment—the candles are free from smell.
