According to the Constitutionnel the Deputies of
the Opposition met on Saturday to deliberate on the
course which should be adopted with regard to the
approaching manifestation of the electors of the 12th
arrondissement, in favour of Reform. After having
heard the report of the committee, they determined
unanimously, that it had become more than ever neces-
sary to protest, by some great act of legal resistance,
against the measures adopted by the Ministry, which
were as contrary to the principles of the Constitution
as they were to the text of the laws, and they conse-
quently resolved, that they would proceed in a body
to the Reform Banquet on Tuesday. Eighty Deputies
and three Peers of France (the Duke DB HARCOURT)
the Marquis DB BOISST, and Count ALTON SURE)
have accepted invitations to the banquet ; as have M.
DE CoRMENIN (TIMOR), General LEYDEL, and
several former Members of the Chamber of Deputies,
The procession of the Peers and Deputies will start
from the Madeleine. Only 1,500 invitations have
been issued for the banquet by the committee. It is
said, that the Ministry has ascertained that the
opinion of M. HEBERT, on the subject of the ille-
gality of the banquet, will not be sustained by the
Court of Cassation.

At Rouen, Lyons, and Angers, addresses have
been voted to the Deputies of the Opposition, approv-
ing of their conduct.

AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, FED. 20.

The packet-ship Montezuma, Lowber, arrived at
midnight from New York, with advices thence to the
Ist inst., inclusive.

The Wyoming, Miercken, which left Philadelphia
on the 29th ult., also arrived in the Mersey yesterday.
The advices by these arrivals are not important,
and tend rather to confirm the intelligence brought
by the previous steamer than to add new materials.

In reference to the announced treaty of peace with
Mexico, the New York Herald says—
" We have received authentic and special intelligence
from Washington, embracing most positive information
that a treaty has absolutely been negotiated between
Mr. Trist, the Commissioner of the United States, and
the three negotiators of the Mexican Government; and
furthermore, that, at the last accounts, this treaty only
wanted the concurrence of the Mexican Congress, which
it was almost sure to get, before it was to he transmitted
to the United States. Of the general fact of a treaty,
in this form and condition, there can be no doubt ; bah
the negotiation is combined and coupled with a number
of very curious particulars, which will have a great and
important influence on its progress to mutual ratification
by the Governments of the two countries."
The Herald adds, that General Scott was incited
by the Clay party to conclude a treaty in opposition
to the wishes of the American Executive.

From Texas intelligence had been received an-
nouncing that a war had broken out in that state be-
tween the Delaware and Camanche Indians, which
was waging to such an extent that it was feared it
would lead to a general war among all the Indian
tribes of both Texas and Mexico. In fight between
the two above-named tribes the Delawares were de-
feated with the loss of 25 of their warriors. Other
accounts of skirmishes between the whites and Ca-
manches, caused by depredations of the latter against
the former, are also given.
The alleged cause of the war was an incursion of
the Delawares upon the hunting grounds of the
Camanches, and also favouring the whites in the war
between the Indian tribes and Texas.

The proceedings of the United States' Congress
since the date of the Cambria's accounts had not been
marked by any decisive action or new feature.

A very large meeting of citizens favourable to
General Taylor for the Presidency was held at New
Orleans on the evening of the 23d. The meeting
was very crowded and very enthusiastic.
The Boston papers announce the stoppage of
Messrs. Robeson and Co., extensive calico printers
and cotton manufacturers, of Fall River.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the New York Herald.)
NEW Yonx, JAN. 31.—The steamer Acadia being
about due at Boston with some two weeks' later intelli
gence, caused the market for breadstuffs to continue in a
languid state. Sales of flour were limited, without
change in prices worthy of note, since Saturday. Wheat
continued quiet without change in prices. The market
for corn was heavy, with a fair amount of gales, but on
terms slightly in favour of buyers, compared with last
week's rates. Sales of meal were made at rates current
last week, and rya continued inactive. In oats the
chief sales were confined to southern, on terms stated
below. There was no change in Canal. Previsions were
dull, and sales of pork could not be effected at the cur-
rent rates of last week. Lard was somewhat less firm,
with moderato sales. There was no material change to
notice in the prices of butter and cheese. In groceries

THE BUDGENT.—LERDS, SATURDAY EVENING.—
The following acknowledgment appeared in a Third Edi-
tion of the Leeds Intelligencer:—., Through the kindness
of Messrs. Smith and Son, the well-known news-agents,
we received, a little after six o'clock this morning, an Ex-
press Edition of yesterday evening's Sun, containing a
summary of the whole of Lord John Russell's speech on
bringing forward the budget.

TER 2'o 'l7

The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was
firm, but not higher. Sales 3,000 bales, of which 2,000
were American. Railway Shares were better, and it is
stated that the speech of the Chairman of the North-
Western line was calculated to inspire more confidence
in the value of railway property. We think Mr. Hud-
son's address will also go a great way to effect the same
object.
The Continental advices appear to be of a favourable
character, in so far as that no disposition is shown to
excite disorders at Paris upon the occasion of the Re-
form banquet. In Italy, too, the triumph of the Con-
stitutional principle appears to be decided, and the only
quarter where resistance is expected is in the Austrian
territory. _ _

Fro[]; India the advices are more satisfactory than
might have been expected.
The English Stock Market has been very quiet this
morning, and rather flat. Consols have been 894 4, both
for :Transfer and Thursday, when the Account will be
settled. For April 13th, the rates have been 891
Exchequer-bills are 295. premium. Bank Stock has
scarcely been so good, via., 199 to 201. East India
Stock has been rather lower also, viz., 2424 to 244.
The complexion of the advices from Paris appear to be
more re-assuring, although the banquet is certain to
take place. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 904 to ; and the Three per Cents. 891 to 4.
East India Bonds of 1,0001. have been 7s. premium.
The Foreign Stock Market has been quiet. Spanish

There has not been much doing in railway shares, and
prices are without any decided movement. Caledonian

Junction at 244 to 244; Eastern Counties at 154 1;
East Lancashire at 211; Great Western at 103; Leeds
