The French Five per Cents. closed on Friday
at 90f. 75c. and Bank Stock at 1585 f.

A file of American Papers have arrived this
morning, but not of a later date than the last.
COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH FRANCE.--We
are highly pleased to hear that Capt. CROELLER is
arrived with despatches from the French Go-
vernment for the French Minister, and for the
diffecient French Consuls throughout the United
States.—Mr. MAURAY, our Consul at Liverpool,
stated to Captain CROELLER, that the Commer-
cial Treaty between the United States and
France was concluded.

THE TRADE WITH MEXICO.—A Gentleman is
arrived at New Orleans from Campeachy ; he
states, that the ports of Mexico are open for a
free trade with all nations, but the duties are
very heavy.

[From the National Intelligeneer, Feb. 7.]
We have some late news from Mexico, which
we shall give to our readers in our next, the
principal feature of which is the institution of a
Regency, of which JUAN OTIONOIIO is at the
head ; the Bishop PUEBLA second Regent ; and
General YTUItUIDE the third Regent.

BRIGHTON, MARCH 3.—His NIA.) LSTY yester•
day took an airing in an open landau ; the wea-
ther was bright and cheerful, and equally cheer-
ful were all ranks and descriptions of people.—
This morning his Majesty attended Divine Ser-
vice in his private chapel, which commenced at
noon, and concluded at half-past two o'clock.
The Address of the Rev. Mr. MA BERLEY to
the Undergraduates of Cambridge, at the late
County Meeting held in that Town, gave great
offence. It was uncalled for—and altogether
unwarrantable; but it shews to what lengths The
Party will go to accomplish their ends !
The scite for the New Church in the parish of
St. Giles, Camberwell, is with propriety objected
to, from its low swampy situation. It is generally
thought that the Commissioners for the building
of Churches are not apprised of this circumstance.
It is said that the ground on which this church
is to be built is below the level of the water in
the Canal, and must be in the winter frequently
flooded, notwithstanding the additional expellee
which will be incurred in the attempt to avoid
that serious inconvenience.
COUTTS.-It is reported that this gentle-
man, from motives of gratitude for the incessant
attention and soothing tenderness which lie had
experienced from Mrs. COUTTS, during the whole
of their union, and from a full confidence in her
justice and liberal feelings, left the whole of his
property to her disposal, assured that she would
manifest those feelings in its distribution. Ac-
cordingly, it is said that she has already begun
to justify his conviction that she would act with
justice and generosity towards his family, by
relinquishing her share of the Banking business
in equal portions to his three daughters, the an-
nual amount of which is supposed to be at least
30,0001.—We have no doubt that her general
conduct in the management of her vast property
will be characterized by the same just and benig-
nant spirit.
Ma. JEKYLL—We have the pleasure of in-
forming the admirers of high talents, anti the
friends of personal worth, that the convalescence
of this gentleman has proceeded uninterruptedly,
and that he will soon be able to resume his offi-
cial duties, and to gratify private circles with
his knowledge, vivacity-, and humour. The
name of JEKYLL has long been revered in legal
estimation, and it is evident that its present pos-
sessor inherits all those qualities which origi-
nally brought it into well-merited distinction.—
Even POPE, whose Muse was obviously more in-
clined to satire than panegyric, paid a willing
tribute to the political rectitude of this family.
Mr. ELLISTON is not returned from Paris. It
is said that the purport of his journey was to
solicit permission to represent the late Corona
tion in that capital, which has been so successfu
at Drury-Lane Theatre.

A Tragedy on the subject of CATALINE, we
understand, is soon expected from one of the best
of the living race of Poets in this country ; not
from the stage, however, but the press.
POLISH JOURNALS.-The productions of the
periodical Press in Poland are at present very
numerous. There are now no fewer than twenty
four Journals of various descriptions, some politi-
cal, others devoted to subjects of literature or
science. Gazeta Literacka (the Literary Ga-
zette) is a weekly publication of a single quarto
sheet, notices both Polish and Foreign Litera-
ture, and frequently contains articles displaying
much information and considerable learning.
DARING OUTRAGE.—On Saturday evening,
about seven o'clock, as the servant of Messrs.
ATKINSON and ELDRID, of Fore-street, was pass-
ing the end of Little Britain, with a valuable
parcel in his possession, he was attacked by two
villains, who tripped him up, whilst one of them
jumped on his neck and endeavoured to strangle
him. Fortunately two persons came up, when
the ruffians kicked him violently on the side, and
made off.—Such occurrences as these are too fre-

quest; they are highly discreditable to the Po-
lice, which is shamefully ineffective both in the
City and at the west end of the town.

John Backley, another of Cathie's shopmen,
was last night found guilty, at the Old Bailey,
of having published a blasphemous and wicked
libel on the Christian Religion, and sentenced to
six months imprisonment, and to find security
for his future good behaviour. Thus have the

members of the Constitutional Association (by
whom this prosecution was instituted) again vin-
dicated their claim to the support, of all who
venerate the sanctity of religion, and the purity
of morals ; thus have they replied to the fero.
rious scurrility of their despicable opponents,
who sought, by daily torrents of personal abuse,
to intimidate them from their course,

quence issued a proclamation against tumultuous
assemblages of the people.
Several persons implicated in the affair of
General BERTON have been arrested, and the
General himself is reported to be a fugitive dis-
guised as a peasant.
