The Expos from Paris this morning brings the anxious looked.
for King's Answer to the Deputies, which is firm in every respect.
He is resolved to be immovable in regard to his sentiments in the
speech on the opening of the French Session, and will communicate
his determination on the subject through his Ministers. Thus, It
appears, that Polignite Is to remain in office.—The accounts in the
evening from Paris give us to understand, that the Chambers have
been convoked for Friday, to receive a communication, supposed to
be their prorogation, followed by their dissolution. This, no doubt,
will cause great sensation in Paris; but little tear may be enter.
tained of any tumult as long as the military are true to his Majesty.
The French funds coming higher.
Consols which left off yesterday at 921 for the Account, opened
with an improvement at 92f I, and for Money 92i f.—ln the Fo.
reign Market little doing doing as yet.
Savannah Papers to the 21st Feb. and Charlestown Papers to the
20th Feb. have been received at the North and South American

coffee-house; the former state that a report upon the revenue and
foreign intercourse has been introduced in the House of Represen-
tatives from the committee of Commerce, and they propose to sub-
mit to the House, during the present Session, a Bill allowing a
drawback equivalent to the Duties on raw materials consumed in
ship building ; also a Bill allowing drawback when exported ; a
Bill repealing the Tonnage Duties, and a Bill to extend the inter.
course with foreign nations.

A Committee of Congress on the Census, estimates die population
of the United States in 1830 as follows :—Free, 10,650,000 ; Slaves,
1,930,000 ; Total, 12,000,000.

HALF-PAST ONE.

The Funds are not so good as in the early part of the morning,
although it was expected to the contrary. Owing to the Rentea in
Paris having got up one per cent. our speculators are now anxiously
waiting the French Minister's answer to the Chambers, which will
decide the great struggle between the King and his people. By some
persons it is expected that the storm will blow over, without doing
any gre.it mischief. No doubt on or before Monday we shall have
the important result.
Consols have been done in the course of the morning at 92i f and
921 for the Account, at present they are 92i f and 926 to for
Money, with little or no business doing.
