We understand that the eomtrercial arrangothent
beteteen this Country and France, of which we made -
Mention yesterday, has been under consideration for
r*the time. The subject has been indirectly sub-
'slued to the French Government, which has ex•
pressed its readiness to sanction a commercial i..ter.
course, by means of neutral flags, upon principles of
reciprocity. Some regulations in this sprit, we are
informed, have, within these few J iys, been pro.
mulgated by the Prefect of the district of Ostend•—•
Instead of compelling vessels to take One-half of their
cargoes in wines or brandies, the new regulations di-
minish the quantity of these article; very considerably.
As the British Government has pr ofess,-d an inclina. -
tion oa its part to accede to the principle of this ar-
rangement, and there is no material di:P.-once in the
terms, great hopes are entertained that it might be
brought to bear. The conduct of the nerci otion,
however, as we have already stated, is to be wholly
left to the tnanagcmcnt
,of the Merchants. •
To forward this important measure, a gentleman,
who enjoys the confidence tithe newly appointed &bard
of Commerce in France, and was selected by them for
the purpose, we understandhas been some el.oys in town.
He is authorised to communicate with our Board of
Trade on the subject; but whether directly or through
the channel of the merchants, who have taken the
lead in this business, we are not informed.

In the event of the intercourse taking place, it is
understood that the tratie will be carried oil through
the medium of neutral vessels, sailing under licences
granted by either Government. Particular ports,
among which are Ostend, Dunkirk, and Havre, are
to be assigned for the reception of these vessels.

BURGLARY.--Thomas Jones, alias Hugier, and /G.
chard Francis, were indicted it r a burglary in the shop
of Mr. Bennett, a silversmith and jeweller, in the
market-place of Salisbury,and stealing therefrom gold
and silver watches, rings, chains, seals, and other ar-
ticles of jewellery, to the amount of £lOOO and up.
wards, as mentioned a few days since. It Appeared
in evidence, that the house had been made fast, as
usual, on Thursday eveni.:g, and at flue o'clock in
the morning cf Friday, it w:ts discovered that a
pannel had been taken out of the shutter of the
shop-door, and that a pane of glass had been taken
out, by which means an aperture was made, sufficient
to have admitted either of the prisoners. There was
also a pannel forced out of one of the slop shutters,
and the two pannels were fastened in again with
brads. It was proved that the two prisoners hailed
Richardson, the driver of the Taunton coach, which
was on its way to London, twenty-five miles horn
Salisbury, at one o'clock in the morning ; they want.
ed inside places, but they were accommodated on the
roof. Richardson had heard of the robbery com-
mitted at Salisbury as he passed through, and he sus.
pected the prisoners. They had with them a bag,
and the coachman having communicated his suspi-
cions to Mr. Manning, a passenger, the latter took an
opportunity to feel the bag, and he wa.s satisfied that
it contained rings, watches, &c. The coachman was
relieved previous to the arrival of the coac:i to B sing
stoke, but Mr. Manning rode outside with the pri-
soners until the coach arrived at Egharn, when he
caused them to be secured. On them were fop ad
several of the stolen articles, which were; !entified by
the prosecutor. ThE bag contained the seivie of the
remainder of the property, which was also identified.

Shaw, whom he pretended to have taken the hill
r ;rn ? when 1 e referred to. his Solicitor, who again
begged that the prisoner might be remanded, as they
were in hopes to find this man. The Solicitor for
the prosecution produced a letter, which said that
Shaw was gone to America. This the prisoner de-
nied any knowledge of, and expressed a hope that he
might still be able to find him. A Gentleman ia
Court told the LORD MAYOR that t'he prisoner knew
Shaw well, having been concerned with him in :eve-
? d other criminal transactions ; and' he bad been
ikon into custody as the book-keeper in the mock
