CITY (TIILS DAY), TIVELV_E O'CLOCK.
The Westminster, New York Packet ship, of the 20th ult., has ar—
rived off Plymouth.
The Toronto
packet, from New York, has also arrived at Weymoubut her advices are of an old date, the 30th ult.

We have received New York papers to the 22d ult. by the Westm9
ster. We extract the following from the New York paper of the 20th
u Rim° :
" ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGIBLATURE.—The Legislature of New
York brought its Session of 107 days to a close at 12 o'clock last night
having passed 333 laws. Exchange, s;f to 6; United States Bank.
1 141. s
The measures adopted by our Legislature at Albany are looked to
with great interest. The Bill repealing the restraining last and au-
thorizing private banking has become a law, with one important amend
went, and that requiring 121 per cent. of specie to be kept on hand for
every dollar in circulation.
" The state of Exchange is now so ruinous, that almost all colle,:tions
at the South and West are at an end. The distress falls heavy On the
creditors of colic of our suspended houses. Exchanges on Boston are
getting better; they are about to 1 per cent. discount on Philtalelphis•
Drafts have been sold at 3 per cent. less, which is an improvement.
in the South and Wesrthey are no better.
" LATEST FROM Mexico.—Two French brigs of war visited I%l.etamo-
ras on the 25th ultimo, and sent a deputation up to the town to assure
t
the French citizens of the protection of their Government, and
the Mexican Government should not comply satisfactorily by the 25t...t
instant with the requisitions already made, the ports of the Republic Nou
be blockaded."
We have received Montreal Papers or the 12th April. They do not
contain any later news than previously received from Canada.
The Westminster spoke on the 22d of April, the Great Western
steamer, lat. 39, 54, long. 67, 25. She looked well, antt would be in
New York the next day.
Accounts are in town that the Imperial troops have got possession et

Bahia.
It is just stated at Lloyd's, that the Sirius steamer was within six hold
of New York, on the 22d ult.
