NEW-YORK, Feb. 25.
On Sunday night, the fast-sailing brig Superior, Pastorious, (of Philadelphia) arrived within Sandy-Hook, in 44 days from Bordeaux, from whence she sailed on the 8th January.
Two passengers reached this city in a pilot boat, late on Sunday night. To one of them, the Editors of the Mercantile Advertiser are indebted for the loan of a Bordeaux paper of the 4th of January, containing Paris dates to the 30th December, and London to the 24th of the same month. The paper, however, does not contain any news of moment, being principally filled with the debates of the French Parliament on local subjects. The price of the English and French Stocks will be found below.
We are also indebted to the same gentleman, for the following verbal intelligence, viz:
"That France was in a very tranquil state—that the harvest has been much more abundant than had been expected and that flour was only 10 dollars per barrel; that grain had fallen considerably in price. Rice 7 dollars per cwt. Upland Cotton, 160 to 180 francs per cwt. about 36 cents per pound."
We further learn, that Prince Talleyrand, had gone to Vienna.
We understand, the Superior has brought about 5,000 liters.
