Thus much is known, that Mexico pays the S900,00j claimed in the ultimatum of the French minister, and that France pays her own expenses in prosecuting the war. Tiic condi ions for the payment of the indemni y arc not ascertained. The terms in the treaty are certainly very fiir, and evince a spirit of great modern.:on and nnguanimi y on the part of France, ^et it is said that serious doubs arc entertained whether treaty the wiii be sanctioned by the Mexican Government. Admiral Baudin lias allowed fifteen days for the rT;Ration Should no satisfactory reply be received in that time, he threatens to resume hos. tiiitics and carry on the war with vi. gor. The announcement of the treatv was roccived with great joy by the Mexican population, and celebraied with public rejoicing*.

There is growing lip in this State some hostility b-'tween the free.banking banks and the chartered banks, the end of which ii is difficult to fors.ee.
