Our foreign exchange, has risen consid-
erably, and is now almost as favorable as
during the last peace. In Holland i is al
most at par. In France and at Hamburger,
1t is still a little below, but as on the one
side they reckon according to the value Of
gold, and on the other according to that of
liver, we cannot have q par completely ex-
act. 1t has besides been calculated that
the payment of the subsidies TO TIE foreign
powers, and the eXpences of our troops
upon the continent, would have very un-
favorable effect upon our exchange but
by the manner IN which these payments
have been arranged, that effect has been
scarcely sensible. 4 he lowest price Of gold
during the peace of 1914, was between Al SIS
and Al Is sterling, p. ounce except doub-
looms, which were at one time az ii IS. Gold
is now quoted At Al Is OIL doub'oons 1T Al
As Cd. Silver has never been lower thar i've
ShiiInss and seven pence, and that is now
its present price. The quantity entered
for expectation on Tuesday last was 90 in
gots of gold weighing 44,445 ounces. In
this sketch Of the state of exchange, we
ought not to omit the great alteration that
has taken place in the situation of Ireland
IN that respect, and which arises from the
low price OF its produce, grain and other
articles of consumption. The exchange
with Dublin ard Cork, which was lately
between and z, is now quoted at II.

We have this day received American
papers to the 18th of last month. The bat
tie of Waterloo, the abdcation of Bona
parte, and the capture of Paris, were
known in America. Some of those papers
appear sorrowful and chsgrned. Another
OF them makes an eulogium upon Bcna-
parte, whom it compares to Epaminondas
and Regulus. Some of those editors have
need to go to school. The same papers an
nounce the death of Mr.. Bayard. He was
a very abe man, of great purity in public
affairs, as well as of great virtue in his pri-
Yate conduct.
