PARIS, SONDAT ETZNING.
The Pays publishes a correspondence from Pondi-
cherry of July 22, for the purpose of giving a com-
plete denial to the report that there were grounds
for uneasiness as to the French establishments in
Indio. All was perfectly tranquil, so much so that
several foreign families had taken refuge upon
French territory. It is true, that by way of precau-
tion, the governor had established militia corps, com-
posed of the principal inhabitants in Pondicherry,
Kavikal, Manion, and Chandernayor, but in no in-
stance had these forces had any occasion to act.
The IntlApendanre says it is now known that when
the Emperor of Russia was in Germany General
d'Orgoni went to see him. The assigned reason for
the interview is the desire of the Czar to speak with
the general on the subject of the commercial rela-
tions which the Emperor of the Butmere desires to
open with Europe. This is one of several paragraphs
which d'Orgoni or his friends have recently caused
to be inserted in the Belgian or French papers,
representing that his only ambition now is to con-
vince French traders that he is in a position to play
a magnificent part in Asia, as the head of a com-
pany of merchants. He expatiates upon the riches of
the Burman Empire, and argues that the most direct
and convenient channel for the China trade would be
by way of Burnish. One very suspicions witness
to these pacific intentions of the general is a retired
captain in the army, who writes to the G forward
de
France, that negotiations ardently pressed
by himself and several other young men of courage
and enthusiastic convictions, to obtain appointments
as aides-decamp or orderly officers to accompany I
General d'Orgoni to the East, have not " yet been 11
crowned with entire success." But if the gifted
general should ultimately decide to surround himself
with the daring and enthusiastic young Frenchmen I
aforesaid, and re-organise the Burmese army upon
a grand scale, the writer of this letter holds that it
would be sheer impertinence on the part of Messieurs
ks Anglais to say a word about it.
The councils-general have begun to pronounce in
favour of M. de Lesseps' plan for the opening of the 11
Isthmus of Suez, which we may be quite sure they
would not do unless the government bad sanctioned
the demonstration. The council-general of the
Rider', presided over by M. Charles Lupin, and the
council-general of the Benches du Rhone, have
already drawn up their resolutions (vats:).
The Presse Bays, in its weekly commercial review :
Retail business Is now very calm. Our shops feel the
effects of the prolonged hest, which has driven a great part
of the population into the country. Bat the resumption of
activity in many manufactures which we have already noticed
becomes more and more genets]. Almost all the factorise
are in full work, and it is even difficult Bat tog ea many hands
e as are wanted. Orders an tow
Bad
In from abroad,
especially from South America, Spain, Ruesis, and Turkey.
From the United
Yates, commands are very limited, and
letters from New York lead to the apprehension of mom •
tary crisis, which might have the effect of restricting the
winter pureasses of the AZO•riCAZID. Lyons, in the absence
of American orders, continues calm but at Roubaix, Tour-
coiny, end Amiens, Mather is very animated, and it has
e become rather active at Rouen, notwithstanding the continued
rise in the price of raw materWs. Cottons continue to advance,
and to an extent that becomes misruling for Rouen end Mul-
house, the selling price of their drum not being in propor-
tion. Owing to the troubles In Indio. the Manchester =MP
facturers are fearful that they will not be able this year to
obtain their accustomed 'applies from that country, and the
large purchases made by them in American cottons have
produced a rise of three or four hence at Havre within the
last week. Common Louisiana colon, which eighteen
months ago fetched only from 881 r. to 901 r. Is now selling at
123 fr. Wool also is Demurely b:glaer, but the manufac-
turers of mixed tissues are doing extremely well, and
it is the development of this trade which makes the
fortune of Roubaix. Coin, which, as will be teen from the
official table, fell rapidly up to the 16th of August, is now
stationery, in consequence of the new wheat not coming
quickly to market, while the eldstocks are to many places all
sold.

PARIS. SATIAIDAT Eve
The Emperor left Paris for the Chalons Camp at
half-past one this afternoon.
Yesterday the Emperor, accompanied by Count
Walewski and Lord Cowley, went to Rambouillet
for a day's shooting.
The Bourse, though still inanimate, has been a
shade firmer than yesterday. The Rentes closed, with
a rise of 5c., at 67f. for cash, and at yesterday's price
661.93 e. for account. Mobilier was in fair
demand,
and rose 61. 26c. Railway shares were
higher quotations, in consequence of a temporary
scarcity of stock, several holders having deposited
their shares payable to bearer in order to have them
converted into nominative shares. Most of the lines
rose from 2f. 30c. to 51. It is understood that the
stock of bullion in the Bank of France remains the
same as it was at the date of the last return,
namely, 240 millions, but the discounts have
diminished.

I am informed that the new 60f. notes will be
issued immediately, and that 6 millions' worth were
signed yesterday.
The Pays, professing to speak on good private in-
fo:m*6*n, says that the reason given by a foreign
journal for the non-evacuation of Herat, viz., that
tb. Sirdar Murad Mirza had refused to give up, is in-
agreed. The Sirdar had merely informed his
germeet officially that the Affghan chief
whomn Herat was to be surrendered
was not in a condition to take possession
of it, he having been for several months closely
hemmed in at Kandahar by Afghan tribes, with
whom he is at war. These facts are, the Pays says,
perfectly well known to everybody at Teheran, and
also to General Jacob, commanding the English
forces in Affghanistan. At the latest dates there
was a change in the situation, an arrangement
having been made to pnt an end to the strife be-
tween the different tribes, and orders having been
seat from Teheran for the restitution of Herat.
