flat, The correspondents of the Rutbschilds hold at
1101 for 60 days sterling bills, and 5.141 for francs ; but

banks will receive this week nearly two milliong from
California, and no less than 11,775,000 from New Orleans;
so that the next specie average is likely to show a large
incr-.,ase. Unless a sudden improvement should take
place in exchange, the south is likely to supply nearly
as much specie as will be required for some weeks to
conte.
