ter than we have direct, but we submit some in

| 70 o'clock-The boisteious state of the weather
has retarded the Continental Mails, and left us
without any foreign intelligence whichever to-
day.
In the foreign exchanges, yesterday, there was
| large amount of business transacted, and the
rates ON all places showed a fair Improvement
on those of Tuesday last. Upon the whole, they
wear more favorable appearance than we
have noticed throughout the year.

msrcial payments with the continent ofEurope
| is turned decidedly in favor of England, and,
therefore, that the exchanges will continue to
advance till they reach point that will make
it profitable to import bullion; unless they be
acted upon by large Importation of foreign
stocks or by the negoclation here ofloans for To-
reign states. OF this there is certainly some

fer which they are liable, and that he had alb
seconded. A short time will be required to ena-
bic them to investigate the real state of their
accounts. This circumstance will add to the
