FLOUR PRICES IN FRANCE.—The fall in the price
of flour, which had taken place at Paris, was but of short
duration ; a rise has again taken place. In Alsatia, in toe
Lyonneis, and in Gascony, the prices have fallen, though the
future is anything but certain. At Paris the rise was very
sudden, and the reaction on the fall of the preceding week
almost violent. In eight days it rose 4fr. to sfr. per sack, and
and, in consequence, the reduction of the price of bread,
for the last fortnight of December will only be out
centime per kilo ,45 instead of 46. The following is a table
of the importation, and exportation, in Si ptcluber and Octo-
ber, the true commencement of the agricultural years.

CI ERNIAN Y.—A correspondent of the Frankfurter
Journal, of the 11th instant, states that the three northern
powers will send a conjoint reply to the diplomatic notes
(protestations) of Lord Palmerston and M. Guizot, stating
the incorporation of Cracow to have been an act of necessity,
and their firm intention of adhering to the act accom-
plished. It is not impossible, adds the correspondent,
that a species of European congress will afterwards
be held for the revision of the treaties of Vienna.
The report of a loan, to be contracted at Vienna for
400,000/., is confirmed. It is to be negotiated by the
bank, which has engaged to furnish that amount at 4 par
cent. According to the latest census, the population of
Vienna is at the present moment 410,047 souls.
BRESLAU, DEC. 6.—The failure of MM. Schiller
and Muller, bankers, to a considerable amount (850,000 dol-
lars), had caused a regular panic at Breslau, as it was feared
some other houses would become bankrupts in consequence.
The shares on the Bourse fell in consequence 3 per cent.,
especially the Cracow shares. Two or three houses at Perth
had stopped their payments among others, that of Itubitschek,
the latter leaving a deficit of 600,000 florins.
The Silesian Handelsblatt contains the following
declaration :—" We, the undersigned deputies of the town
and commerce of Breslau, feel it our duty to inform the
public, that the high authorities have acknowledged the ins-
portawe of maintaining the free commerce with the territory
of the former republic of Cracow, and guarante, d by Art. 8
of the treaty of the 3rd May, 1915, in its full extent, and that
they have received the satisfactory assurance that the main-
tenance of that free commercial intercourse should serve as
the foundation of all commercial arrangements which might
ultimately be made with the Austrian authorities.—(Signed),

Breslau, Novemb. r 30, 1846.
TUNlS.—Letters from Malta state that prepara-
tions were being made at Tunis to resist an attack of the
Turks, who intend taking advantage of the absence of
the Bey.

The Belgian papers contain a report upon the pro-
ject of law before the legislature, relative to the supplies
of provisions, to the improvement of the linen
manufacture, and the drainage of land, which inciden-
tally leads to the consideration of the state of
the poor. From tables appendendcd to this re-
port, ►t appears that the numbers of the poor, or
of paupers, inscribed as recipients of or applicants
for relief, were spread as follows over the various pro-
vinces of Belgium : Antwerp, 87,255 ; Brabant,
90,828; 'West Flanders, 144,142; East Flanders,
149,225 ; Hainault, 130,523 ; Liege, 58,580 ; Lim-
burg, 24,453; Luxemburg, 1,881.
From Namur no return had been received. It
results from these figures that, leaving one important
province altogether, the ascertained number of
paupers, or of the poor receiving relief, was, in
the aggregate, nearly seven hundred thousand, upon a
total population of little more than four millions. The
returns for Namur would probably carry the number
up to one hundred and fifty thousand more. This
is a fearful amount of destitution for the
government to deal with in an inclement season just
commencing. when the means of employment will
naturally become so much more restricted, and there-
fore so many more labourers and operatives thrown
out of work, and on the public charity.
