DIPLOYACT.—The German Journal of Frankfort
says:—" Notice was received at Vienna on the 14th,
that the cabinets of France and England have sent to
their diplomatic agents a circular note, to inform the
foreign powers in what manner they regard the fall
of Sebastopol. The ambassadors of France and Eng-
land at Vienna expect this note to-day or to-morrow."

It is stated on the authority of Captain Nicholson,
Clatmander of the Telegraph steamer, that the Russians,
previous to their flight in the north of Sebastopol, connected
the minas with Fort Constantine by 'Wattle wires, in hopes
of destroying any troops which might aster the town ; but
their vile pleas were completely defeated. One hundred
and forty of the Lend Transport Corps are to sail in the
Telegraph, for the Crimea, on Saturday next.

FRANCE.

The letter of our Paris correspondent of yesterday
had not arrived when we went to press.

(nom OUR OWN CORRISPONDENY.)
PARIS, SUNDAY MORNINO.
We are still without any tidings of Marshal
Pelissier's anxiously expected derpatehee. The
Simms, which was looked for at Marseilles yesterday,
does not appear to have arrived, the telegraph being
as yet silent no the subject.
The Constitutionnel, on the strength, as it says, of
personal information of the intentions of " Superior
authority," contradicts the report that a Governor of
the Credit Mobilier Company is about to be nomi-
nated by government.

PARIS, SATURDAY EVZNINO.
The Moniteur oontains the following despatch from
Marshal Pelissiw :

" Sebastopol, 19th, 5 in the evening.—Out of the
4,000 pieces of artillery found at Sebastopol, 50 at
least are in bronze. Others were thrown into the
port at the moment of the retreat; I shall have
them sought for. We have already taken 200,000
kilogrammes of gunpowder from the place, and
more has been found. The number of projectiles
will exceed 100,000.'
According to the strict grammatical construction
of the above despatch, it might be supposed that
part of the 4,000 guns originally reported as found
in Sebastopol consisted of an unascertained number
thrown into the water. But as this interpretation
would involve something like an absurdity, the con-
clusion is, that whatever guns may be got out of
the port will be so many additional trophies over
and above the 4,000.

The Bourse opened with a better feeling than yes
terday, but heavy sales in the Credit Mobilier had a
depressing effect upon other securities. Most of
these sales were thought to be the result of " execu-
tions." After violent fluctuations, oscillating between
the extreme points of 1330 and 1240, the Credit
Mobilier closed, with a very agitated market, at
1,260, being a fall of 70f. on the day. Austrian rail-
ways were buoyant in the morning, owing to the
favourable returns of receipts from January lit to
September 7th, just published by the Journal des
Chemins de Fer ; but the highest quotations of the
day were not sustained; they closed, however, with
a rise of 7.50. Some of the French railways slightly
improved, but the market was dull, especially in the'
latter part of the day-
The Bank of France has issued the following
official notice : "The Council-General of the Bank of

France, in its sitting of the 20th, fixed at 6 per cent.
the interest on advances on public securities, railway
securities, and City bonds. The rate of discount of
commercial paper remains as before at 4 per cent."
General Regnault de St. Jean-d'Augely, Senator
and Comniander-ineChief of the Imperial Guard, who
arrived at Marseilles from the East in the Indus, has
arrived in Paris.

General Bourbaki, who was severely wounded et
the taking of the Malakhoff, is reported to be going
on very well, and likely to recover speedily.
The following telegraphic despatches have been
received:

"Trieste, Sept. 21.
"The Eastern mail brings letters from Athens to
Sept. 14. The instructions given to the British
Ambassador at Athena, relative to the difficulties
with King Otho, were not yet known. Those given'
to the French Chargi d'Affaires state that the Impe-
rial government has not the least intention of infring-
ing the sovereign rights of the King of Greece; that
his Hellenic Majesty is at full liberty to choose for his
ministers such persons as may appear to him worthy
of confidence;
ministers chosen should not be suspected of being
under Russian influence. The French government,
it is said, further demands that the utmost severity
shall be shown to the brigands who infest the country,
and that the disorders lately renewed by the intrigues
of partisans of Russia shall be energetically repressed.
In order to facilitate an understanding between his
Hellenic Majesty and the Western Powers, M. Ea-
lergi, the Minister at War, has again offered his re-
signation."
I yienna,Sept. 21.

"The rumours of the rupture of the negOthitions set
on foot by the Austrian government with the Credit
MobilierComparq, for the establishment of institutions
oferedit in Austria, are not yet confirmed."
A letter from Marseilles says :
Captain Nicholson, of the Telegraph, which has ju't
arrived from the East, was with his vessel at anchor at
Balaclava when the French troops carried the bialakhofl
Tower and the southern part of Sebastopol. After the assault
he went over past of the vicinity of tie captured ground,
end states that the general opinion was that the
could not possibly hold the northern side, and that no
astonishment would be felt in the allied camp at bearing
that they had blown up the forte and retreated toward'
Petrekop.
Abd•el-Rader dined with the Emperor at St. Cloud 'I
this evening. It has been already stated that the
principal object of the Emir's journey to Paris was to
solicit the Emperor to release him from the promise
he had made to reside at Brousss, that place having
become intolerable to him since the earthquake. His
Majesty, it is said, has acceded to the request, and it'
is arranged that Abd-el-Kader shall go to live at
Damascus with his family.
The Chevalier Francois Hamoniere de Chapuset,
side-de-camp to the Emperor Soulotique, of Hayti, has
arrived in Paris with a suite of three negroes.
The commissioners of the different countries and,
the members of the several juries connected with the
Universal Exhibition, who are desirous of promoting
the adoption of a uniform system of weights and'
measures, are invited by certain members of the Sta-
tistical Congress rt maiming in Paris to meet them on
Monday, Sept. 24, at 2 o'clock, at the Exhibition
Palace, where Prince Napoleon and the Imperial
Commission have granted them the use of a room.
Baron James de Rothschild has consented to preside,
and the meeting will consider the expediency of
establishing an international association to promote
the adoption by all civilised nations of a uniform
decimal system of weights and measures, and also, as
far as possible, of money.
The last intelligence from the Birman empire an-
nounces that an extraordinary embassy was on the
point of getting out for France, being the first that

32,281,478 less than last year.
The Echo Apricots contains a letter from New
York, which states that the harvest of the United
States and of Canada may be estimated in round
figures at 64,000,000 hectolitres of wheat; and that
after deducting 3,000,000 for seed, 46,000,000 for
home consumption, 1,500,000 for export to the West
Indies, South America, and Australia, there will re-
main 13,600,000, flour included, for exportation to
Europe. According to the correspondent of the Echo
Agricola, it may be expected that the probable ex-
portation to Europe from the Ist of September. 1855,
to the let of May, 1856, will be about 6,000,000
hectolitres, and that the surplus 7,500,000 will be
reserved to be exported next summer, after the pro-
mises of the harvest of 1856 can be estimated.
