The coin and bullion have declined by 274,0001. ;
but this advert.° feature is readily explained by
the payment of the dividend on the Three per Cent.
Rentes, which has reduced the Treasury balance
by 6.50,0001., and by the heavy addition
of 2,180,0001. to the discounts. The circula-
tion has thus increased by 1,174,0001. The private
deposits show an increase of 826,0001., and the ad-
vances on stocks and shares a further reduction of
nearly 200,0001.

PRUSSIA AND SWITZERLAND. - THE
FRENCH AND ENGLISH PROPOSALS

BEILIE, Tariaray.

" The Federal Council of Switzerland, eonaider:ng
the new propositions which have been submitted to
it by the Emperor Napoleon, and supported by the
good offices of England, to bo such u are acceptable
to the Swim Confederation, has decided on con-
voking the Federal Assonibly of Switzerland for the
14th of January, to receive thus propositions.

A letter from Berne of the 3rd, in the Issdipn-
dance of Brussels, says: The following is the most
trustworthy version of the negotiations for the
pacific solution of tho question. England, we are
assured, completely approves of the last proposition
made by the Emperor Napoleon, which is to this
effect The Federal Council is requested to release
the prisoners solely out of regard for the friendly
sentiments of the Emperor. The Emperor, in re-
turn, engages to endeavour to obtain from the King
of Ptomain the complete renunciation of Neufchatel.
Should the King of Prussia refuse to negotiate on
this hese the Emperor will oppose any aggression on
the part of Prussia against Switzerland, and will
defend the independence of Neufchatel.'"

A number of manufacturers of Cannstadt, follow-
ing the example of the merchants of Stuttgard, have
sent an address to the King of Wurtemberg against
the passage of Pruman troops. The municipal
councils of Ravensberg and Tuttlingen have acted in
a sinular manner, and the feeling continues to spread
rapidly.
