The Message. of Bayonne, of the 28th, says :

I understand that M. de Hubner, the Austrian
ambassador, gives the most positive contradiction to
the reiterated 'assertions of die • Gazette de Cologne,
that he is about to leave Paris.

At the Bourn to-day salsa predominated. The Riot.
(after having best at 66fr. 85c.), closed at 66fr. 900.,
with a fall of ba for cash. For time, the fall was
200. The fall is entirely attributed to sales for
the purpose of Investing in the loan. The imbsorip-
tions are said to amount to upwards of two
millions, or nearly three times the amount
required. The subscription goes on swimmingly in
the great provincial towns. At Lyons, 32 millions
were subscribed in a single day (the 25th), and large
contingents will be returned from Strasbourg, Mar-
seilles, and Bordeaux. Shares in the United Gas
Company were in great demand, in consequence of
the decree in the Momiteur, sanctioning the fusion.
It was announced that the names of the new Council
of

would be published to-morrow.
The shares rose 12fr. 50e. Credit Mobilier fell 10fr.
The rapid rise in the last-mentioned security within
the last fortnight is attributed to the knowledge that
the fusion of the gas companies was about to take
place, bat now that the fact is accomplished, holders
were disposed to realise their profits. The Credit
Mobilier was, however, very buoyant towards the
close of business. Railways were heavy. Almost
all the lines closed lower, with little business doing.
A smart shook of an earthquake occurred at Lyons
the day before yesterday (the 25th), and occasioned
some slight damage to several houses. No. 35, in
the Rue Centrals, has a fissure from the top to the
bottom. The bells of many houses rang, and ser-
vants ran to the doors to answer them. In the princi-
pal street of the quarter of the Canal, a man loot
his equilibrium, and another was thrown forward
with violence several steps. While the shock lasted,
a noise was heard as of distant thunder, while the
sky, though somewhat clouded, showed no signs of a
storm. Letters from the provinces, speak of the
shock having been felt distinctly at Strasburg, Mal-
house, Mets, Grenoble, Besancon, Auxonne, and
Dijon, but no accident is reported in any of those
places. Earthquakes have been very frequent is
Italy and the extreme South of France within the
last twelvemonths, but this is, I believe, the &et
time that they have been heard of within that period
so far north.

Colonel de &rosy, who, it may be remembered,
was, some time since, cashiered and sentenced to im-
prisonment by court martial, under very painful cir-
cumstances, has been privately pardoned, and is at
this moment serving as a general in the Turkish
army of the Crimea, with the title of Osman Bey.
