so that he is undoubtedly in the country yet. There

so mat he IS undoubtedly in the country yet. There
IS great deal OF speculation as the manner in which
he was enabled to procure his certificates of depostc
for 1t IS SAID by the engravers themselves that the
plates on which they were printed MUS, have been the
genuine ones used by the Bank in all liz opero,ions
and the filing up of the letters is unquesonablv in
the hand writing of the Bank Clerk at eas, GOOD
julges, on close examination, nave declared il could
not he otherwise. 1t seems quite impossible tina, n
forger should have accompces in the Bank and the
mos drobabc supposltion is that he is himself some
ex-olicer or former clerk in The Bank. Whoever he
may be- it is quite likely that he will be brought to
speedy justice. The whole police of the city is enga
ged in active pursuit.
Matters at Washington seem to be going on steadily
and quietly. The Heads of Departments are engaged
actively in investigating the affairs entrusted to their
care, and preparing for the Extra Session. Much
speculation is ahoat as to the which President
Tyler will pursue with regard to the estab shmcnt Of
National Bank. The general opinion seems to be
that he will await and abide the action of Congress
in the matter. All over the country there seem to be
indications of general dc ire for the establishment of
such an institution as will regulate our exchanges and
furnish currency as sound, uniform and reliable as
the one we had twelve years ago. meeting of the
Chamber Of Commerce was held in this City few
days SINCE at which memorial to Congress was
drawn up for National Bank and committee APP
pointed to obtain signatures. OF course among all
business there is a strong feeling in favor of
such an institution. The time is fast passing away
when the mere name of National Bank will lrighen
goodly citizens from their propriety. 1t has been
used for long while past by the destructive party
as a bugbear, the bare mention of which was suili-

We received Foreign News up to the 4th instant BY
the Columbia on..Wedncsday last and to-day the
Great Western, arrived, bringing London dates up
to The 9Th int. The intelligence is Of grea, I'M,
portance. The greatest alarm prevails in that city on
account of the nonarrival Of the steamer President,
She left this City the 10th ult and has consequent
ly been out IS days. Insurance on her in London,
which at first was easily effected at per cent had
risen as high as 80. The most probable explanation
of her delay is the conjecture that she has put into
some port for coal. Many there are of opinion tina,
| she had oncoutered an iceberg.
The tone of feeling with regard to the difficulties
with this country seems TO be decidedly pacific The
Columbia brought no intelligence of any farther de-
bates in Parliament the subject, but in the papers
| brought by the Great Western observe few re-
marks Of Lord Palmcrston made in the House OIL
Commons on the 9th inst. They amount to very
little, however. In speaking on a motion made by
Mr.. Hume calling for correspondence, &c. he sale
that "he did not see the expe ency of bringing for
"ward this question at the present moment. (icar.
He trusted that there existed, on the part both o
the Government of the United States and that o
this country an anxious desire to bring this matte
TO an amicablc and satisfactory termination.

feeling both this side Of the Atlantic and on tn
Communication between the two Governments, an
thing like a discussion of their details could onl

therefore that his hon. friend would postpone HI

Mr.. Hume in reply said that "no person wa
more anxious relations Of rlcndsh mantal

The Courier Francais of April 9TH, says tina, 'h-l
is little doubt that NJ. Guizo, has cred the i.
ton Of France to terminate the differences betwee

however, much ground for believing the report,
