We have a very blank day for intelligence in the city this
morning. Great anxiety is expressed for the letters by the
Oxford, New York packet-ship, of the 16th ult., which may
be expected at Liverpool to-morrow or on Thursday. The
affairs of Canada now form the general topic of conversation.
Consols have been buoyant during the morning, and con-
tinue firm at 921 for the Account ; and 921 for February.

(From the Morning* Chronicle.)
The depression which Consols sustained on Saturday afternoon, in
consequence of various unfavourable rumours of a political nature, has
beer fully recovered, and they have advanced f per cent. upon the clos-
ing quotation of that day, while they altogether seem to be more buoyant
than lately, which is chiefly attributable to the more cheerful tone of
the letters to-day from Canada.

The private advices which reached the city this morning from Canada
a-e altogether of a more satisfactory nature, and from their general
tenour it would seem that the rebels were greatly intimidated by their
defeat at St. Charles, and were retiring from place to place, afraid to meet
tt e troops in,combat. If this system continues, of course they would be•
dr ven up into a corner, especially as the reinforcements of troops had
arrived, and then obl'ged to lay down their arms at discretion, or be
w lolly routed at the point of the bayonet, which it appears they do not
at like. The steam-vessel from Montreal had reached Quebec with
10,000 stand of arms and a corresponding quantity of ammunition and
ot'ier warlike supplies. The first division of troops from Halifax reached
Quebec on the 4th ult., and the present accounts come down to the Gth
ult. inclusive.

New York papers of the 11th ult. have come to hand. The Canada
question engrossed almost the chief attention in the United St,,tes ; but
the opinions upon it are so various and conflicting that it is difficult to
arrive a' any result. In the local political aspect there was no altera-
tion, nor had anything of moment been transacted in the Legislature.
The Secretary of the Treisury had presented his annual report; but as
the subject has been alluded to twice recently by the President, it fur-
nishes very little fresh information. The exports during the year ending
the3oth September, he stltes, were 116.906,060 dollars, of which
95,183,199 dollars were of domestic, and 21,729,861 dollars of foreign
origin; being a decrease in the former, as compared with the year end-
ing September 30, 1836, of 11,733,481 dollars, and 23,499 dollars in
the latter. The imports during the year amounted to 140,852,980
dollars, being a decrease, as compared with the previous year, of
49,127,055 dollars.

Commercial matters in the United States were going on well, and the
rate of exchange on this country had receded to 110 f, while the impres-
sion was that before the sailing of the next packet it would be under
pit. '[he augmentation of our forces in Canada will tend a good deal
to keep it low, for the bills upon the government will necessarily be hi_
creased considerably, and they sooner or later find their way to New
York. The Bank of America, one of the " pet tanks," had drawn upon
Messrs. Rothschild, of London, on account of the Ameican govern-
ment, for indemnity money we believe still due, to the amount of
1,000,000 dollars, which, under the present position of commerce,
must have produced its effect on the market. This state of things is,
however, of the utmost moment to those who have claims to make in
the United States, for remittances c.ar consequently be effected with
little or no 1 ms, and it is only fair to expect that persons who strained
every nerve to liquidate their debts in this country when the exchange
was 120 and 121 will do so with increased alacrity when the rate has
receded to 108 or 110. The internal exchanges had likewise assumed
a more favourable appearance, and the reaction in many was very
marked. The rate of New Orleans, which was 15 prem. a short time
since, has receded to 1 and 14 prem.; and on Mobile, which was for
some time at 20 prem., it is quoted at 5 prem. The southern ex-
changes were in fact almost equalized, which •is a very remarkable fact
in the existing state of monetary affairs in America ; and if the rate on
New Orleans fell to par, which there was every reason to expect would
be the case, it would be unprecedented, we believe, in the commercial
annals of that country. This has of course arisen from the large
amount of specie transmitted from New York to the south for the pur-
chase of cotton while the or.lers upon that city were wholly out of pro-
portion, while at the same time it shows amore wholesome state of busi.
ncss, and holds out still further hopes for a speedy revival of sound and
legitimate trade.
