FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNUDAT EVIXINO.
The correspondence of the different French papers
(which I send you separately) is agreed in this —that
the Bairam passed off at Constantinople without the
slightest disturbance. The corrc-pondent of the
Cbnatitutionnel is quite unable to explain, from any-
thing that was passing around him, the reason why
the frigates were sent foe. I particularly call your
attention to the article in the Siecie, which I have
inserted further down.

There was quite a panic at the Bourse to-day.
At the opening there was a disposition, in the
absence of any positive news, to look upon the bright
side of things. The Threes opened higher than yes-
terday, and gradually rose to 7110, but at half-past 2,
when telegraphic accounts of a fall in Consols were
received from London great excitement prevailed,
and the Renter went down with extraordinary ra-
pidity to 74.10, at which price they closed, being a
fall of lfr. from the highest quotation of the day,
and of 75c. from the last price of yesterday. Bank
of France fell 10fr., Credit Mobilier 10fr., and several
of the railways from 10fr. to 15fr., all without ex-
ception closing lower. The most contradictory re-
ports were circulated as to the Engish funds. Some
asserted that they had fallen to 89), while many
people who usually receive telegraphic despatches by
2 o'clock declared that none had arrived. Com-
plaints are loud and general that the government
does not post authentic quotations from the London
Stock Exchange at short intervals throughout the
day. Nothing would be more easy, if the public
interest were consulted, instead of that of
privileged speculators. It is long since I have seen
such a crowd at the Bourse as to-day, and I observed
at the north-west corner those groups of elderly
ladies in caps who were ungallantly driven
out of the precincts by the police upwards of •
year ago.
Among other reports in circulation there is one
which I must notice to deny. It is rumoured that
the Russian ambassador has demanded his passports.
He has not done so at present, whatever he may
choose to do hereafter.

Prince Napoleon is indisposed. He was unwell
when he went to the camp at Helfaut, and the expo-
sure to the wet has produced a high fever. His
state is said not to be alarming, and a speedy resto-
ration is hoped for ; but he is ordered to be kept very
quiet.
The Moniteur states that the Emperor, being de-
sirous of seeing the fleet, hu changed the time of his
intended departure from Boulogne and Amiens.
Their Majesties will leave Boulogne on the 28th, at
two o'clock in the afternoon, instead of ten is the
morning, as had been first xed, and Amiens oa the
29th, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, instead of 12 at
noon.

The Minister of Marine joined the Emperor at
Dunkirk, and was to accompany him throughout the
remainder of his tour. On account of the storm in the
channel the ocean squadron was not able to make
Dunkirk, but remained at anchor at Dunes. It was
ordered to go to Boulogne, to be inspected by the
Emperor there.
The same flowery correspondent of the Pablo
who described the " delirious enthusiasm" of the
Emperor's reception at Dieppe, says that on the
arrival of their Majesties at Calais an 0 immense
number" of Englishmen at the railway station,
" almost all in uniform," cried out lustily in Eng-1
lish—" Long life and happy reign to Napoleon the
Third ! God bless the Empress! Hurrah for the
great Emperor ! &c."
A great sensation has been occasioned in the thea-
Blest circles by the positive announcement that
Mademoiselle Rachel is going to St. Petersburg.
She has obtained a year's leave of absence from the
Theatre Francais, and will probably set out in De-
cember. The Emperor of Russia engages to give
her 16,0001. sterling, besides 4,0004 for a company
of French actors to support her, and it is said the
celebrated tragedienne will reap further secondary
advantages from the engagement.
The French government has requested that of
Austria to furnish it with all the documents relative
to the mode of supply of provisions at Vienna.
The Moniteur publishes Imperial decrees promul-
gating the convention between France and the Elec-
torate of Hesse, for the reciprocal protection of the
rights of property in literature and works of art, and
the postal convention concluded between France and
the kingdom of the Two Sicilia. The latter is of
great length, entering into very full details of the
rates of postage, modes of conveyance, and other
points for the amelioration of the postal intercourse
between the two states.
