The Siecle does not think that if events should
lead to the landing of an English regiment In Sicily
it would be indispensable, as the Assembhce pretend.,
that France should at once send an army there to
counteract English influence.
The recent improvement at the Bonne has been
so rapid that its progress cannot be expected to go
on without interruption. Te-day a great many sales
were made to realise profit., but sp.' culators remained
still very confident, and although there was ulti-
mately a slight fall in the Renter for account, the
market, on the whole, has again improved. The
Rents closed at 895.. 65c. for cash, with a rise of :5c.:
and at 70'r. for account, with a fall of 10c. Mobi•
lief rose 30fr. Railways were almost all better.
Orleans rose 15fr. ; Eastern, 10fr. ; Lyons, 2fr. 60c.;
Mediterranean, sfr.; Southern, Mr.; sad Western,
2fr. 60c. The Amsterdam Bank yesterday lowered in
discount 1 per cent., and, as alter London Amster,
dam is one of the most important markets in Europe
for operations in the precious metals, hopes were en-
tertained that the Banks of France and England may
be influenced by the Amsterdam measure. The situa-
tion of the Bank of France is untlerstocel to be conti-
nually improving. It is reported that the biome
in the bullion up to this morning is twenty millions
and-a-half in Paris and four and.a-half is the branch
banks.
The Sicilian news command. no attention. Nothing,
indeed, is publicly known of it beyond what comes
from London, for a despatch from Turin of yesterday
adds nothing material to the telegraphic despatch
sent to London two days ago.
It was reported at the Bourse that the liforti•eisr
would speedily announce the meeting of a second
congress for the middle of January. A correspon•
deuce from London, however, speaks of the 15th el
February as the date. Upon this the Preste remade
that so long a postponement seems unlikely, since the
English government would probably desire to Cave
the questions in dispute settled before the meeting of
parliament on February 3.
M. Mires has returned to Paris to-day from hfadrid.
