THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1853.

The Bourse somewhat recovered to•day. Tho
news that the Bank of England had raised its dis-
count was anticipated, and produced little or no effect.
The syndicate of the Lyons butchers has just pre-
sented a petition to M. Vaisse, the councillor of state
charted with the administration of the department
of the Rhone, priying fur a considerable reduction of
the import duty upon fat cattle, and the entire aboli-
tion of the duty upon lean cattle destined to be
fattecedin France.

The following letter from Napoleon, dated St.
Cloud, Jure 13th, 1310, written to Count de Monta-
livet, his Minister of the Interior, at a time of uppre-
hended scarcity, is giren by the IniPpendance Ilel e,
which says it has not been hitherto published :
Monsieur le C.imte,—l send you a very importaw note
front the Councillor of State, Marst, on the corn question.
Come to the eouncil of Monday, provided with all the in.
formation you may possess relative to this important affair.
I have given orders to M. Marti also to bring all the d. cu-
meats in his hands. You will see that this Councillor of
State is of opinion that at the end of the year them will
remain no more corn of 1808 and POD. On account of what
he has told me of the dearness of rye, I have prohibited the
exportation. I bate doubled the duty on the exportation
of wheat. Them two decrees will be sent out to-night.
Bring with you on Monday everything that the good of my
cirvice may suggest to you as useful and convenient, with
a view to modify this state of things. Bring also the table
of the exportations fur tho month of August. This ques-
tion is the most important of all, and I cannot delay beyond
Monday making up my mind di finitively upon it. I beg
Yu to ace that my reserve in Paris is maintained intact.
ou hove inspectors w 1.., are charged to me that the proper
quantity is kept up. The existence of this sure is confided I
to Your zeal for my service. Fur the last eight yeses I have
sac-deiced a million a year for this ohj- et. It would be truly
unfortunate if these eight millions and these eight years of
care were to be lost at the moment when the fruit should
be gathered. I shall not sleep quietly until I cm c.:m-
pletely reassured on this point. Make it your particular
' business to assure yourself that full complement of the
stores of Paris exist,. There is no government measure
more susceptible of influencing the lia:,pinesa of the people
and the tranquillity of the administration than the certainty
of this provision. It is not beyond your attributions to
call for returns of tho provisions at the disposition of the
war department. Take care that the lnvalides and the
hospitals have their full quota, and are secure from Swing
taken unaworis. If it be true, as it is wished
to persuade me, that 40 millions of groin have been , sported
to England since August last, it is frightful. I have put a
double duty on the exportation of wheat. Tell me whets' e
it is possible to raise the duty still higher. I should wish
also with the million and a half which I shall draw from
the Customs to augment my store c.f corn still further. On
this I pray God to hove you in his holy keerin4.
NAPOLEON.

The Mayor of Lille has recei•ed an official intima-
tion that the Emperor will not arrive there till the
lath. It is now thought at Dieppe that the Emperor
will leave for Boulo:nc and the camp Helfaut
without the Empress, but nothing ceriain is known
on the subject. The ].rite Ilurlen e, after taking
the Princes Jerome and Napoleon to Havre, returned
to Dieppe, to he at the Empercr's orders. The Cuhome
of Boulogne expresses an expectation that the camp
of Helfaut will shortly be removed to lloulogne.
