PARIS, TVIIDAY EVININO.
The Mocifeur of this morning contains further
evidenoe of the anxiety of the government on the
corn question. It contains two decrees intended to
facilitate the transport of provigions from place to
place. The first authorises such railway companies
u shall reduce their charges for the carnage of corn,
flour, and potatoesfrom this time to December 31 next,
to again raise them after that period to the limits of
the maximum authorised by their Cahiers des Charges
without waiting for the delays therein limited. It
is already announced that several of the principal
railway companies have determined to lower their
tariff considerably in consequence of this decree.
The other decree enacts,
That until the 31st of December next, all boaU laden
entirely with corn, flour, rice, potatoes, or dry vegetables
shall be exempt on all rivers and canals belonging to the
state from all the navigation dues usually charged.
Where canals have been conceded to companies the same
exemption will be made, and an account kept of the
amount of the dam which are thus given up. Foreign
vessels may until the same period enjoy the same exemp-
tion on all the rivers and canals of France, provided their
cargo consists of the above mentioned articles. This ex-
emption will be enjoyed by all French and foreign vessels
whatever may be the date of arrival, provided they leave
their piece of shipment previous to the 31st of December
next.

The panic among corn merchants, to which I
alluded Yesterday, produced by the report counte-
nanced &y the Pairs's, that the government was
about to make large purchases of grain, has pro-
duced the following emphatic contradiction of the
report at the head of the non-official column of the
Monitelor :

It has been announced by a journal that the French go-
vernment was about to make purchases of corn. This
supposition is absolutely false. The results of the harvest are
not yet known, but the government is convinced that the de-
ficiency which it may show will be made up by the trade
acting alone and without impediments. Far from wishing to
thwart its action and compete against it, which would be
senseless conduct, the government will only interfere to assist
it by general measures equal for all parties, and which as-
sure the liberty and security of its operatiene, and render
more easy the transport and distribution of corn in the in-
terior. The different decrees which have successively abo-
lished certain prohibitions, reduced entrails' duties, and
suppressed tonnage dues, were published is this spirit, and
+hails calculated to tranquillise the public mind is that,
bevies bees iseaset at an opportune moment in order to allow
Ism* smaareste take advantage of the fine weather, their
ellsaty begins to be already felt in our ports. It is by such
011111.11111111. Wad lag to protect energetically and facilitate
primal Weary, that the state will usefully exercise its ac-
tion. The two decrees published to-day relative to internal
racetel sad the railways are a fresh proof of its constant
in this respect.
Although from the wording of this important note
it might be inferred that the government agrees
with those who think it a fatal policy for
the state to tamper with the markets by buy-
ing corn with the tax-payers money in order to
undersell the private trader, it is to be ob-
served that the fact that urchases have been
already made for government account is not is terms
denied. The contradiction only applies to what the
state was said to be " about to do." I note this not
in the spirit of hypercriticism, but because reports
from so many of the European markets concur in
speaking of extensive purchases having been made
on French account that it is difficult to suppose there
can be no foundation for them. These purchases are
in many instances given as a reason for an extra-
ordinary rise in the markets where they have been
ade.

The oorreepondenee of the Debots from Constan-
tinople contains the following important statement of
the eireamstaines attending the acceptance by the

Sulfas d the Vienna note
We have received letters from Constantinople to the 22nd,
via Trieste ; they are exclusively occupied with the exami-
nation of the note proposed by the Conference of Vienna
and its acceptation, which took place on the 19th. It was

The statement of the Debate is confirmed by sa
article of the Usivera, which gives additional details
respecting the grave qualification appended to the
"modified " acceptance, and is sadly at variance with
the telegraphic despatch of the Monsteur, announcing
that the modifications were "unimportant."

The Pislrie now says that the Einperor will leave
Dieppe on Saturday or Sunday next. The Pao
announces that he will come to Paris for a day or
two about the 10th, before going to Helfaut.
The Bourse has been exceedingly dull to-day. The
Threes, which yesterday fell 10c., closed with a fur-
ther fall of about 20c. Almost all the railways were
lower, but towards the close the low prices tempted
several speculators to buy, and a partial recovery
was the consequence.
