EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

YARN, P,IoAT linutum.

A telegraphic despatch from Moods's, dated last
night, states, os the authority of a Paris lotus in the
Drains Aland, that the Boigrad question will be
diddled by the coming Congress in a manner favour-
able to England and Austria, Austria having " gabbed
lover Sardinia to her opinion." Without knowing bow
far the Dresden Joon& may have authority for this
particular opinion, I have reason to t►ink gene.

From& papers, Is appropriate under present

may to a great extent count upon the support of the
sabinet headed by Count Wow, even in the face of
many opposing influences. But, with regard to this
sassed Congrese and its probable lame, it is truly
eerier to contrast the language of the French go-
vernment press with that of the English ministerial
journals. In London, they say—einee certain parties
are so bent upon • Congress, why should Regina

The news of the redaction of its interest by the
Bank of England wee not known here daring Bourse
hours yesterday—indeed a strong impression prevailed

that no change had been made. The telegraphic
despatch announcing a reduction of per cent., which
was published by the evening papers last night,
exercised a favourable influence on the Rents this
morning, although it is regretted that the Bank
of Francs has adjourned the consideration of a
similar measure till next week. The Rents, after
opening, with not much buoyancy, at yesterday's
Iprice, roes considerably, the quotation tor aocount
being at one time 701 r. 10c. This price was
not, however, sustained, the point of 70fr. being
hotly contested by the "bears." The closing prices
were 89fr. 50c. for cub, and 69fr. 95c. for account,
the ultimate rise being So. and 20c. Credit Mobilier,
after baring been 26fr. higher, lost ground, and closed
with a rise of but 2fr. 40c. A good deal of business
was done in railway, in the morning, and they closed
tolerably firm, with a slight general improvement
upon yesterday's closing quotations.
