PARIS, WIEDNTIDAX Ivnwnee.
At [email of ministers, held yesterday, under
the preeldeacy of the Emperor, the advisability of
raising the legal rate of silver from six pet cont. to
eight per cent. was discussed, but no decision was
arrived at.

Very unfavourable reports are In circulation se to
the nature of the Back of France monthly return,
which will be published on Friday ; it is even said
that the Treuuty thaw', a ,falgog off in one month
of 90 millions. Meanwhile, it is added, that the
Bank expects a large supply of gold and silver in
the course of a day or two.
At two o'clock this day the Emperx reviewed the
Impede] Guard at the Champ de Mars. His Imps,
dal Majesty was on horseback in the uniform of •
general officer, and wore the grand cordon of the
Legion of Ho•our. On his right we the Austrian
general, °inlay, military commander at Milan. The
Empress and the Imperial Prince were present.
The weather looked threatening before the review,
but was favourable during the deploying of the
tro3ps, most of whom wore the Crimson medal on
their breasts.

Manhal Franeiso3 Serrano y Dominguez had the
honour of an audience of the Emperor yesterday at
St. Cloud, and presented his letters of credence se
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of
the Queen of Spain and of the Infant Doke of
Parma and Placentia, n well as letters from his
sovereign, putting an end to the mission of M. de
°longs.

Prins Ada'bort of Bavaria honoured the Italian
Theatre with his presence last night. His Royal
Highness sat in the Emperor's box.
Marshal Count de Castellsne having left Lyons for
Paris, the command of the troops in the Lyons dis-
trict devolves daring his absence on General de
Coartigis.
M. de Scheele, sou of the present Minister of
Foreign Affairs, has been appointed secretary of
legation at Paris. He will enter on his functions at
the same time as M. Dirokinck-Holotteldt, the new
minister is Frame.

The sumo paid into the Paris fliviugs Bank last
week amounted to 621,098 fr., from 6,915 depositors,
of whom 791 were new ; and the reimbursements to
481,7816. The Calms de Retraites for old age re-
ceived during the lest fortnight 228,355 fr. from 2,272
depositors, 310 of whom opened amounts for the first
time.

The report addressed to the Emperor by M. Magna
on the financial state of the country We the column.
of the Paris journals, but is only very briefly con•
Greeted on. The Corregirutionnei introduces the re-
port with the following passage :
It will be seen that the Minister at Eames doss not &s-
-timulate the embarrassments of the moment, hat he clearly
proves by fasts sad egares that these stabansmasents do
sot proceed from a faadsweatil ass, bat that they are
early temporary, sad he shows that the Manisa doss sot la
reality authorise urine fears."
The Debate says on the same subject

ROME, Ocr. 2.

The Court of Rome is but ill at ease as the time
approaches for the realisation of those menaces
which have been so long impending over the Ring of
Naples. The hostile arrival of an allied British and
Freech fleet before the stronghold of his Bourbonie
Majesty is looked for by the ecclesiastical govern-
ment with a degree of interest so painful as to amount
to absolute terror, coostiose that whatever changes
take place in the neighbouring kingdom must pro-
dace a more or leas responsive effect in the Pontifical
dominions, however soothing the unaram s. of the
French government to the contrary may appear.
The very We of the astern at M. fie Rayneval

church, sod so personally acceptable to the Pop
and Secretary of State, is received by his Holiness.
government as strong pledge of the sincerity of the
Emperor Napo'.eon's paciflo assurances, nor is the
language of the ambassador since his arrival in the
holy city at all calculated to do away with snob a
flattering supposition, as it is characterised by the
same unbounded reverenes and admiration for the
Sovereiga and institutions of this country, as before
his Excellency's recent visit to France and interviews
with the Emperor. But in spite of this favourable
point in the present state of asks, the determined
hostility shown by Frame and Eagland to the King
of Sept... a neighbouring Sovereign and an ally,
rendered dear to thereto by the ties of gratitude and
political sympathy, he. undoubtedly produced very

great aneasinserand distrust throughout the higher
usissiestioal elutes.
Xhosa clause, oa the contrary, who are interested
in whatever events might result in an amelioration
of the political condition of Central Italy, whether
by direct intervention or indirect influence, have fears
of a different kind. The Rumens well know the
pliability of the " Re Cafone," the macaronic title
with which they honour King Bombs, under the in-
vincible pressure of foreign force, and they are afraid
that, without waiting to lender Oaeta a second Sebas-
topol, he will hasten to comply, verbally at least, with
all the conditions impond upon him, leaving it to
the Punteo fides of his advisers and the ingenuity of
Lis ministers to get him out of the scrapes
*pin by degrees, and restore his subjects to
those fetters which the sympathy, of enlightened
Europe would fain remove. In fact, Italian
foliticians in general have so little confidence in the
good faith of King Ferdinand, that they attach no
ce to whatever concessions he may grant on
the spur of necessity, unless the maintenance of them
be guaranteed by the strong hand of some foreign
administrator of his sovereign rights, some powerful
arbiter who may undertake to see fair play between
him and his people.
The Velleni band of brigands added to their list
of enormities on Sunday rooming, by another very
audacious attack upon the Diligence arriving from
Naples, at a spot about a mile and a half from Gen-
sane, at the foot of a long went. It was just day-
break when the robbers made their appearance and
intimated to the postilion, who was driving four
horses, to pull up; but instead of complying he clapped
spurs to his wheeler and lashed his team into
a gallop, hoping to get clear of the assailants
by a sudden start. The murmurs proved effectual,
so far as escaping went, but it war not without con-
siderable risk, for the disappointed brigands fired a
volley at the retreating vehicle and honer, which
might have had worse results than the mere pilfer.
ing of the travellers' puree.. The balls whistled
about the peveogers' ears, and lodged, to the number
of seven, in the panels of the diligence, without
wounding any one ; but the poor horses fared worse,
fee both the leaden were struck, and dropped, atter
gaming a few strides more. The connector, pos.
Wien, and one of the passengers, lost no time in
jumping down to cut the leaders' traces, and drag
the dying animals to the side of the road, which wee
affected so promptly that they were able to resume
their journey with the wheelers only before the robbers
overtook them. The moat ridiculous part of the affair
was the subsequent entry of the battered vehicle into
Albano, under the escort of a few gendarmes obtained
at °eosin% when the danger war all over. It is
really a most disgraceful thing that regularly
organised bands of outlaws should ha allowed to
cony on their depredatiore year after year in the
use district, within twenty miles of the capital.
Fortunately the roads north of Rome, by which
travellers arrive from Florence, have been for some
time uninfested by highwaymen.
Prince Rorghese appears disposed to advance claims
to the Shrewsbury property in favour of his daughter
by his first wife, who was Lady Gwendaline Talbot.l
The Prince's advocate, Signor Baochettooi, has been
sent for to Paris immediately to take the necessary
steps in so important an affair.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, BZ??. 29.

The apparently insignificant affairs of the Serpents'
Island and Bo!grad are daily now acquiring greater
importance. At least it is quite certain that Lord
Lyons, a few days ago, received • telegraphic mes-
sage with injunctions to despatch all his available
force to the Black Sea to cruise off the Russian ports.
Reinforcements are also coming up, and our war-ships
stationed at Malta would have returned to this
station had it not been for their more serious occupa-
tions at present in the waters of King Bombs. The
Russian envoy has not, it appears, been quite well
since his arrival in this country, and has neither
given nor accepted any invitations except on one
occasion, that of a banquet at the French embassy.
M. Boutenieff was to have been entertained also by
Lord Stratford de Radcliffe, but this, by his indispo-
sitioo, has been prevented.
The news from Naples tested quite a commotion
him and vast numbers of Italians who bad found a
Wogs and honourable existence in this country are
ienelved, as soon as the first shot is fired, to return
and fight for their oppressed fatherland.
Sir John *Neill, General Chantey, and their stet(
have been here for some days at Missirie's Hotel, and
start this afternoon for Alexandrette by the Strom-
beli, war steamer, which has been placed by the
sie•l at their disposal for three weeks.
An interesting ceremony took place about a fort-
ht ego at the imperial palace of llohna.liegtehe,
where his Majesty the Sultan was solemnly invested
with the Austrian order of St. Etienne, set in bril-
liants. Baron Koller was the bearer, assisted by some
of the personnel of the embassy, as well as by the
principal Turkish great functionaries.
The Garter is, it appears, forthcoming at last, as I
predicted it would be several months ago. This is
oar lot, invariably to follow the lead of others. We
ere always late sad the last, and especially when we
are forced to do the " civil thing," which, in sooth, is
not with us an every-day practice.
British trade here is daily acquiring vest propor-
tions; new firms are springing up; and you will
learn with satisfaction that our countrymen are ever
fseeir.ost in the field wherever there is a reasonable
ehance for the investment of capital; and in
every spot where industry and ingenuity, employed
in the erection end management of machinery, can
contribute to dtvelop the great resources of this
splendid empire. I never saw a more sober, indus.
trious, and resyctable set of operatives than the
English workmen here, who are, in their humble
[sphere, the moving principle and mainspring of all
mills and manufactories, iron foundries, gas works,
sad such like; and in almost every steamer that
/oats in these waters, in every ship of Lloyn'a mag-
nificent merchant fleet, a Briton works the engines.
Beschid Paths is still in retirement, but gave the
Weer day a very sumptuous entertainment to our
Ambassador, which is, 1 believe, an unprecedented
incident under the circumstances, a sign of the times,
sad of the progress of freedom in these parts. Admiral
Lord Lyons, with his secretary, Muchtar Bey, Rifest
pasha and his eon, Raoul Bey,both family connexions
et the Pacha, satiated at this festivity. Lady Stratford
de Radcliffe dined on the same day with the ladies
of the harem.
Some rumours respecting the overthrow or modifi-
elation of the:cabinet have, I perceive, found their way
to the London journals. It has been stated that
business is at a deadlock, and that the ministers rre
incapable, or extremely slow in all their operations.
There may, perhaps, be some truth in this latter
observation ; but the advocates of change, whether
official or nocrefficial, seem to have lost eight alto-
gether of two most important points—the one being
the difficulty about the succession, and the other as
to the facilities of locomotion iu this country.
I believe it is pretty well known that statesmen in
Turkey are not "as plenty as blackberries." Honour,
probity, and patriotism, are :be moat necessary qua-
lifications for a Turkish minister, and these, as far as
my information goes, are the attributes and best

recommendation of the great majority of the present
administration. They are all moderate reformer',
and well disposed to the Western alliance ; bat
Whether the influence of France or England predo-
minates at present, is a matter, I fancy, entirely
dependicg on the tone which they respectively adopt
in their personal and political relations with the
Porte, as well as on the manlier in which these two
great nations are represented In this country.
