Scott has now 11,000 men with him; that ‘Tornel is at San Martin; and that Gen. Scott is for pushing on to the city, but Mr. Trist is dis- posed to wait until he has seen the commissioners.— About 300 troops of Louisiana volunteers came into the city on the evening of the 15th from the camp, to re- main, which makes about 600 effective men, but we daily hope (says the writer) to receive more.

The notes on hand have largely increased, and the bank appears to be rapidly recover- ing from the effects of the recent drain of bullion and embarrassments in its operations. ‘The exportation ot specie from England, in payment for breadstuffs, may continue to # moderate extent for some time longer; but the importation of the precious metals, from all sources, into England, will, without doubt,"greatly exceed the ex- port. The bank will thus be fortified against any ordi- nary demand for bullion, which depends, in extent and continuance, entirely upon the condition of the har- vests. The financiers of England were, at the last ac- counts, consoling themselves with the idea that further exportations of specie would be in the shape of silver, which they say can be spared in any quantity, Official reports recently made, relative to the trade of tho Canadas, ehow that for the last four years the duties collected at Quebec, Mentreal and St. Johns, the three principal ports in Lower Canada, have only in- creased at the rate of about 5 per cent per annum; while at Toronto, Kingston and Hamilton, the three principal ports of Upper Canada, the duties have inereased at the Fate of about 65 per cent per annum, as follows -— Increase in four years....... £60,735 —or about 2134-per cent in the four years.
