PRUSSIA.

A royal ordinance dated Charlottenburg, April
9, prolongs the powers of the Prince of Prussia for
three months. M. de Mantenftel has communicated
this ordinance to the Chambers, adding that in
obedience to the advice of his physicians his
Majesty must abstain for some time longer from
active participation in public affairs.
A remarkable speech has been delivered in the
Chamber of Representatives by M. Harkort, a
member of the Left, in opposition to a vote of credit
of 80,000 Milers towards "secret expenses," included
in the budget of the Ministry of the Interior. The
opposition was unsuccessful although energetically
seconded by other members of the liberal party ; but
the debate is regarded as another sign of the
revival of liberal opinions in Prussia.
A letter from Berlin, in the Independana Beige
of yesterday, states that the members of the Left
will in all probablity receive a great secession to
their numbers at the elections in October next.
Several eminent men (such as MM. de Vincke,
Henri d'Arnim, Simson, and others who withdrew
some years ago from political life) will again become
candidates, and resume the parliamentary career.

PARIS, MONDAY EVINCING.

The Duke of Malakoff's departure for London,
which was announced for this day, is postponed till 1
Wednesday, the 14th.
Marshal Canrobert, after a short stay in Paris,
left to-day for Nancy, the scat of his command.
I some time since informed you that the Emperor
and Empress intended to make a tour in Brittany
this spring. It is now stated that the Mayor of
Rennes informed the municipal council, at its last
sitting, that the Emperor would visit that city in
the course of the present year. The council imme-
diately voted the following address on the occasion :
..—. . . .

Bits,—Since the time of Henri IV., of glorious memory,
sovereign has entered our walls. Happy at learning that
your MaJesty and your august consort will deign to visit this
city, we hasten to express to you our sincere gratitude for
such a mark of favour. But soon our population, in throng-
ing around your person, will exprems better than our words
can do their gratitude to the prince whose paternal kindness
protects our interests, and whose genius has restored to France
order end glory, as well as her ancient predominance over the
destinies of Barope.

A government despatch received by the Commis-
sary-General of Maine at Nantes directs the levy of
seamen lately ordered to be discontinued.
The Bowes has been extremely dull. The Rente,
which in consequence of the little business doing
scarcely varied all day, closed for account at yester-
day's price, 69fr. 55c. and fell for cash 10c., closing
at 69fr. 40c. Mobilier fell Bfr. 75c. The railway
speculators, as might have been anticipated, found
small consolation in the promise of the Moniteur,
that newspapers which might under estimate pro-
spective dividends should be prosecuted. Orleans
fell Bfr. 75c.; Northern, sfr. ; and Lyons, Bfr. 25c.
Southern and Western were 2fr. or 3fr. lower; and
Eastern closed without variation.

The Dads thus refers to the deluge of bonds
which threatens to swamp the money market :

It has at length been confessed that too many new works
had been undertaken, and that the Bourse can scarcely sup-
ply the funds required to meet the necessary expenditure ;
permission has consequently been asked of the stets to extend
the period for the termination of the said works. The
various companies have commenced holding their general
meetings ; what are the resolutions taken even by the most
flourishing companies? The Orleans Company proposes sn
issue of 100 millions in bends; the Parisian Oss Company of
21,714 bonds; the minis of the Loire of 7,000 shahs; the
mines of Carman: of 7,600 bonds; the omnibus anspeay of
4,000 shares ; the general maritime company of 5,000 hoods;
the cab company of 27,000 bonds ; the poet of Mersernes of
20,000 bonds. The Bank of France has also to dispose of
200 millions' worth of bonds in the mums of the current
year; while the 180 millions of the city of Parte will
doubtless be mind by bonds. Where will this deluge end P

The Press* says in ita weekly commercial re-
view :

The partial revival of trade, which we noticed last week,.
is maintained; but our position is still far from normal.
The improvement, such as it is, consists mainly in the fact
of there being forced mks to supply the wards of home
coneumption. There is no symptom whatever of activity
in the export trade. Foreigners are buying nothing, then
being mill an accumulation of French merchandise in their
warehonsea. The two lad packets from New York brought
no orders either for Paris or Lyons. It is moreover to be
remarked that as a natural consequence of the late oriels a
want of confidence prevails among our manufacturers whit&
is likely to prevent them for a long time to come from
executing orders freely for American bonus. Long credit
now appears to be out of the question, and yet this is the
only condition upon which the few commisdons that are dif
given for certain special articles can be obtained. The provin-
cial buyers are extremely cautious. They geoerally confine
their purchases to a few samples, and wait for a regular de-
mand among their customers. Stagnation continues in
Rouen and Ahab& A few buyers appeared after the Easter
holidays, but they looked for a further fall in price; which
holders were not prepared to submit to. From other manu-
facturing towns the deices are more satisfactory. There is
a slight revival at Lyons, where some houses are buying
raw materials because they foresee that wrought silks are
likely to be scarce for a time. The movement which we
formerly noticed at Roubaix and Travelog goes en ; the
fancy tissues and Orleans goods of those towns ere in con-
tinual demand for the orosswastes chops of Parts. Complaints
are made that many provincial houses, instead of making their
assortments in Paris, go direct to the manufacturer, from
whom they get certain articles at a cheaper rate. It is cer-
tain, however, that such a system cannot become ge-
neral, Moran the purchaser who requires produce of
various kinds will always have en advantage in buy-
ing in Paris, where be can find everything to his
hand, rather than in running about, at great expense, to
different parts of the country. Cereals continue dull. Prices
are lower in almost all the departmental markets. In Paris,
also, sales are only effected with difficulty. The certainty
that there are plentiful suppl!es in store prevents the dealers
from buying largely.

The Nopoleonien of Amiens reports that a duel
has been fought at Abbeville between two sub-
lieutenants of the 9th Charente, in which one of the
parties was killed and the other seriously wounded.
The London evening papers of Saturday, which
(the mail being delayed) arrived in Paris only at
four yesterday afternoon, were not to be found on
Galiguani's table at noon to-day, so that, ridiculous
as it seems, the Imperial government required more
than twenty hours to make up its mind whether it
was safe to allow the Brpress and Globe to be read
in France.

Constantinople letters of the god speak of certain
diplomatic changes as being probable. It is reported that
Priam Hallimaki will be misted at Visona by Mehmsed
Dleanil By, the premed atabeemador at Paris ; sad that
Haider ERNA, the charge-trettaires in Paris, will be sat
as ambassador to Bt. Petersburg, in the place of Rim By.
A despatch from Wallachia states that the mem-
Das of the European commimion will positively leave
Inebarest on April 16 ; M. de Talleyrand, the French ootn-
anisidonsr, is expected in Paris on April 26. . _
