MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

The New York Papers have been received this mornirq
by the George Washington, but they 'are not of later
dates than those previously received by the above vessel.
We copy the following extract from the New Orlems

Papers i
TEXAS AND FRANCE.—The fact has been generally
known for some time that negociations were on foot to ef-
fect a commercial treaty between France and Texas,
the difficulties with Mexico, no doubt, has contribut-d
to hasten this event, by influencing the inclination of t',n
French Cabinet for the arrani,:ement ; we are not surorised,
therefore, to see it announced in the New York Event.v
Star, that the Texian representative, General Henderson,
has concluded a Treaty, whereby the ports of Texas end
France are opened to the vessels and commerce of each
other.

The trade bAween this city and Texas is rapidly on the
increase, bcsid.'s a number of vessels engaged in the trade;
we have three fine steamers.

" Stu —I have had the honour to lay before his Excell( n.q
the President, the request addressed to you by the Com-
mander of the French frigate Nereidc; his Excellency ap:
proves your conduct in this affair, brcause the nation laciug
at war with the French Government, no succour 'can be
furnished to the enemy ; I also have orders to recommend
that you exercise the utmost vigilance, that our unjust
to-
vadersreceive neither at Vera Cruz,' or at any other point,
provisi.ms, water, and no kind of succour whatever.
" TERNEL."
We have received Montreal Papers to the 2d February,

. -
from which we extract the following :
" The weather has become steady again—clear and frosty.
The severe frost that set in after the drenching rain, has
covered our streets and roads with a thick coating of ice,
which mtkes them in prime order for sleighing."
