Prince Gortachakoff,
Russian army of occupation, has sent General
Niprokontschinski with despatches to the commander
of the camp at Schumla. The object of his message
is to assure the Turkish general of the peaceful cha-
racter of the Russian occupation.
The Russians insist on payment of the expenses
attending the enforced occupation of 1848-1851, and
the first instalment has just been paid.
The battalions of the 4th and sth army-corp
which have not been marched acroes the Pruth have
been concentrated at Ismail, where they await the
order to cross the Danube.

of the

tions have now become, which were supposed to have
been for ever ebolished in 1848 :
It is by mistake that the qualification of " nudism" is
not placed in the imperial almanack for 18.53 against the
names of N. Troplon,e, president of the Senate, X. Billault,
president of the Corps Legialstif, and N. Barnette, presi-
dent of the Council of State, with the rank of minister.
Count Teacher de la ramie, grand muter of the Em-
press's household, and a grand officer of the legion of honour
is also entitled to this desi;nation.
The Prams, in its weekly commercial review, says
that the Eastern question continues to be extremely
prejudicial to business. Severs' orders have been
given subject to a condition that if by July 13, the
present state of uncertainty as to foreign politics
should continue, they may be rescinded. Most of the
manufacturers have, however, gone on working rather
than shut up their factories, but, with the fearof having'
their goods left Tilton their hands, they are no longer
so indifferent as they were about news from
St. Petersburg. The American agents have, how-
ever, bought more freely this week than might have
been expected
Accounts of the preparations for the fair of Beau-1
' caire are very discouraging, but at several fairs of I
less importance it has been found that a fair business
has been done, and front this it is augured that Beau-
caire may perhaps turn out better than has been
supposed. The accounts of the harvest are now very
encouraging. It is calculated that not more than a
tenth of the wheat crop at the utmost is laid or
affected with smut. The harvest in the north of
France will be late, but in Algiers an abundant crop
is already certain, and it is said that more than
800,000 hectolitres of wheat besides other grain may
be spared for exportation to France.
A moderate amount of business was transacted at

Per Cents. 10c.; whilst for the end of the month the
Three per Cents. rose 30c., and the Four-and-a-Half

PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING.
The three government journals, the Pays, the
Constitutionnet, and the Petrie, all announce to-day
that M. de Black, who was supposed to have been
sent to Constantinople with conciliatory instructions,
opened his ini- Zion by making fresh demands on the
Porte. Thi' pretended mediator now demands im-
mediate payment of five millions of piastres to
Austria, au& possession of the ports of fleck and
Souterina, in the Adriatic. This startling intelli-
genco is thus given by the Pays :
