THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1848.

May, issued in Mezioo by General Butler, com-
manding in chief the U.S. army there, announces
to the army that the Mexican war is ended," and
states that " a treaty of peace jolt and honourable to
both nations has been duly ratified ;" that order
further directs the order of march to the coast of dif-
ferent corps of the army, and it is in virtue of this
order that some of thedetachments are already arrived
in the United States. _ _ _

Liter news from Yutacan shows that a horrid state
of affairs still continues to exist there. The whole
coast from edam to Cape Catoche, is now in posses-
sion of Jacinto l'at, Chi, and their followers. More
than 100,000 persons are now crowded into the capi-
tal of Yutacan, the greater part of whom arc refugees.
Should they fall into the hands of the savages there
will be a moot melancholy waste of life.
SLAVERY IN TOE DISTRICT OF COLIIIIIIIA.-05 motion,
Mr. Hale's reeduiion, instructing the committee on the dis-
trict of Columbia, to report a bill in favour of aboliahing
slavery in the district of Columbia, was taken up ; and on
the ayes and ones being caled for, it was decided in the ne-
gative, by yeas 7, nays 36.

COMMERCIAL.
The state of the money market is improved by the return
of peace, and the negotiation on loreign account in part, and
reliance upon foreign markets measurably, of the late
United States loan for sixteen millions. It is believed
that about three millions were subscribed tor on English
account, in the first instance, and verhaps, as much more
will be sent abroad, to be drawn against, leaving a margin
for the chance of sales. Capital seeks employment in
the public funds, of which the prices are well
sustained. The bids for the late United States loan
were nearly double the amount required, and the premium
paid fur the 6 per cent. stock averaged nearly 31. So on the
20:h instant, a loan was negotiated by the sate of New
York fur a small amount, 800,000 dole., the offers for which.
in like manner, greatly exceeded the amount required and
the pro min in paid for 6 per cent. stock of only seven years to
run exceeded 31 per cent.,
The inactivity continued in the Stock Market. Sales of
Treasury Notes were made at 1041 ; United States O's, of '67,
1041 ; ()hie 6'a, 100 1-3 ; l'ennsylvania s's, 76. 'I he money

after the first proximo. Exchange on England has been in
moderate demand, at 1091 to 110.

Great Britain will be 1,350,000 hales.

FRENCH WEST INDIES.—The official corre-

the two commissioners of the republic had taken posses-
sion of the government of the colonies. At Martinique the
presence of the new authority, the official promulgation of
the acts of the metropolis for the aboli, inn of slavery, and
the measures taken to carry them into effect, had produced
a favourable effect. In most of the plantations work hud
been resumed, and the commissioner Perrinon had a at
agents into the difftrent parts of the island to instruct the
people as to their new rights and duties, preaching to them
at the same time the necessity that they should work. At
Martinique, also, peace and quietness existed, and the recep-
tion of the commissioner, Mr. Gatine, had been enthusie-tie.
—The intelligence from Cayenne, in French Guyana, is to
the lith of May, at which time the news of the French re-
volution had been received without leading to any dis-
turbance.
