PARIS, MONDAY Bviurnm.

There is no news from the Crimea. We are es-
sewed, however, that the recent operations of the
Allied army have pima the army of Prince Gortolia-
koff in a very bad position. It is further stated that
it would net be able to make a retreat to Perekop,
and that the position is which it is placed 's each as
to render it impossible for it to accept battle. The in-
ference drawn from all this that the Russian army
will be obliged to lay down its arms within a very
short period.
The enansisl crisis now engages the attention of
every one. The Bank of France has, by a circular
letter, summoned those who have deposited with it
Rentsr and railway shares, either to give new securi-
ties, or to reimburses portion of their loans with cash.
Much is said about giving forced currency to bank-
Dotes ; but the Bank has not yet obtained the consent
of the Emperor, who opposes the measure personally,
beams he fetus that it would produce a bad effect
abroad. His Majesty is not mistaken In this respect.
Mach was said after the last loan about the wealth
of France—the creation of paper money would be a
measure incompatible with that recent representation.
' The following telegraphic despatches have been
received today in Perim.

" VIENNA, MoIDAT.

" A report of the taking of Otehakoff was spread at
the Boone to-day. The trundler's in the different

The Mouffeur contains a circular of the Minister of
the Interior to the prefects, on the employment of
the credit of ten millions opened by the Imperial
decree of the 22nd of September, and designed to
assist the neosesitons classes. The Minister enume-

He announces that severe measures have been ordered
against dealers who should try to Fodor* in the
country a false rise of price. After having indicated
the spirit which should regulate the distribution of
the credit, and the help which may be obtained from
individual charity, it invitee the prefect, to aid and
encJorage all combinations having for their object
the mitigation of the temporary dearncla of provi-
des'. It then adds,
It, is spite of youreff ate, some agitates eadeavoar to

THE FOOD QUESTION.
gees yesterday's Yorker►.)
The Yia6Me of the Interior has addressed the
blirekte ander to the prefects:
lilmaiser le Prate—ln placing this day at your
disposal a part in the credit of ten millions °posed by
the Laren' decree of September 22, I at the same
the. most remind you of the !thought :which should
Ode you in the employment of it.
•As soon u the small yield of the harvest betuune
known, the Emperor instantly ordained all the!
amosares which might alleviate the calamity. By
his orders the prohibition on the export of own, bock-
wheat, seise, potatoes, and chestnuts was renewed,
and not one of then products of our soil can
at this moment, even is the smallest quantity, II
be withdrawn from French consumption. The die-
filiation of grains hes been prohibited. The cereals
of our Algeria are exclusively reserved for as ; the
most complete security has been guaranteed to sone-
acorn, which demands of the foreign markets their
corn and flour for distribution amongst ours. Every
possible favour has been granted to these imports-
time, and to the navigation which realises them.
The railway tariffs for the conveyance of corn to the
interior have been reduced. Severe measures are
prescribed against any stock-jobbers attempting le
create a fraudulent rise in the rural Aisedasa, la a
word, whatever was possible hen ben drift mid the
complement secemary for our consamption of a year
will assuredly be found in the corn arriving every
day from abroad, and also i• the altundsace of enr
accessory melts of potatoes, buckwheat, mine, &a.
“ Bat while thus engaged in snaring the gamed
provisioning of the country, the Emperor has
opseially remembered that numerous part of the
population which oa!y lives on the toil of each day;
be has wished to multiply the works in their behalf,
and when the wages were not in proportion to the

temporary dearness of the necessaries of life, to
elicit the beneficent organisation of a helping fond.
It is with this twofold object that the credit of ten
goillifilmhas bOa *nod, the dinftibutiek otithich
fospis tbs subject d this circular. In orderAadbtain
a fruittid employmsut of the portion acitandeg to
your Aspertutentt I Monsieur Is irrefet, your
,seal will be requisite, all your influence,
all your activity. You will not fix in an
absolute manner the 000tingent of each commune in
proportion to the sacrifices that it might itself be
able to make; that would be to deprive of amour
the poor or exhausted communes, that is to say, those
who 'stand most in need of it; yet you will actively
roues the municipal councils, and you will keep an
account of their effort& Yon will also make an ur-
gent appeal to private charity; it forms in France an
inexhaustible treasure. Yon will visit in person the
communes; you will plan yourself in communication
with every person whose devotion may be willing
to second your own; you will give an im-
pulse to every work capable of being usefully
organised ; you will aid and give rise to, in case of
need, every combination (bread-doles, cards of dif-
ferences, economical ovens, societies for the diatribe'.
dim of food, &c.) which an lighten for the labouring
I 'lanes the transitory dearness of provisions. In
seeing you thus employed, and with you all worthy
mew, the people at large will perceive how actively
and efficaciously the Emperor is occupied with their
wants. They will comprehend that if the abundance;
of the harvests depends solely on God, those who
suffer from their inadequacy are at least sustained
and assisted by a government animated by a really
paternal anxiety in their behalf. If, notwith-
standing your efforts, a few agitators should endea-
vour, for the sake of their own passions or folly,
to work on the sufferings of the people, repeat to the
working classes that agitation and disorder would
not add one single grain of oorn to the harvest, but
would strike a quick and serious blow at contldenoe,
labour, and merely aggravate their misery; then,
while lavishing on them both help and good advice,
make them understand that they have an evident
interest in repelling the fomenters of disorder, and
strike these last-named with immediate and severe
repression. They must not forget that the Emperor.
who is doing for Pram no many great and glorious
things, will know well at the same time how to main-
tain that calm and tranquillity which his energetic
will restored to us. _ _ _
