TIMES. —The premium on gold at Paris is 7 per mine, which
at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard

Paris on London at short being 25 524, it follows that gold
is 0.80 per cent. dearer in Londor. than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4294 per
titlark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10%d. per

Hamburgh..
The curse of exf:liange at New York on London is 1031
