The premium on Gold at Paris, is 81 per
mile, which at the English Mint price OF f3
It's 10dl-4 the ounce for standard gold gives
an exchange of 25, 80, and the exchange at
Paris on London at short being Is, 373, it fol-
lows that gold is 0 6 per cent. dearer at Paris
than in London.
The course of exchange at New York on

exchange between England and America, be-
ing 100 23-40 per cent, it follows that the ex-
change is 2,l7 per cent above par.

EUROPE.
The packet ship, PRESIDENT, Captain
CHADWICK, arrived on Sunday, and we re-
ceived by her London papers of the evening
of the 9th ultimo, being one day later than
those from (which we published extracts Con
Saturday. Wegive below all the intelligence
they contain of interest here. 1t cannot be
doubted that the Intervention of the Bank of
England has stopped the return of an i'm
mense amount of Bills drawn in this country,
and thereby prevented an augmentation of
the general distress prevailing here; at the
same time we cannot but look at the conse-
ouences of the continued disappointments
which the American Houses in London are
doomed to experience. with apprehension,
above all do we regret to perceive that the
Foreign Exchanges on London are turning
against England. Should this continue, there
will be necessarily an end to all further assis-
tance from the Bank.
The ship GEORGIA, Capt. TALBOT, also az
rived yesterday from Havre, having sailed on
the 4th of last month, but unfortunately did
not bring single paper. The captain says,
however, he did not hear that any material
change had taken place in the Havre market,
and that there was no other news than that
Louis Philippe had granted general amnesty
to all persons confined for political offences
on the occasion OF the marriage Of his son,
the Duke of Orleans.
We hadon Monday again two late arrivals
from England. The ship SHAKESPEARE, Capt,
COLLINS from Liverpool, which arrived in the
morning and sailed on the 18th ultimo. The
ship ORpHEUs, Capt. BURsLEY, which arriv-
ed few hours afterwards, also from Liverpool,
having sailed on the 18th. We have receiv-
ed by these vessels and have to thank their
commanders, for London and Liverpool papers,
the latest of the former to the 18th and OF
the latter to the 18th ult.
We connot perceive, from their contents,
that much alteration has taken place in the
state of the English Money Market, or CON-
merce. The continued depression, in the value
of all merchandise, must, we fear, be attended
with still further disastrous consequences;
and on the whole, there is, as far as we can
discover, slight grounds, if any, to expect
speedy mehoration in the present dlsor-
ganized state of the commercial world. The
packets from the countryhad made very short
voyages out; the Orpheus having brought
back answers to letters Of the lst May,
which were forwarded by the ship North
America
Great exultation is evinced by the Conser-
vative party in England, at the success OF
Sir Francis Burdett, who has again been re-
turned member of Parliament for West
Minister. 1t will be recollected that some of
the constituents of Sir Francis, thinking his
support of the present Ministers not sufficient
ly decided, called upon him to resign, which
he did, and took the chance Of another elect
ion, in which he has been successful.
The general amnesty for political offences
granted by Louis Philippe seems to have
! hushcd for 2 time the clamours Of the onpos,-
