(IT SUIXAUNI AND 111.170111 TRLEGIATII.)

PARIS, FRIDAY MORNING.

The Moaitcur publishes the monthly returns of
the Bank of France to yesterday, Oct. 8. We give
the most important items, with the corresponding
figures of last month, sit regard

The most important feature in this return is the
decrease of nearly 900,0001. in the coin and
bullion. The total amount now held is only
9,022,0001. This is accompanied by an increase of
nearly half-a-million sterling in the notes in eireula-
ticm. The position of the Bank is evidently
weaker.

The Empress has arrived in Paris. The Emperor
quits the camp to-morrow.

PARIS, THUM:OAT EVENING.
I mentioned two days since that Count Walewski
had addressed • circular to the French representa-
tives at the different courts of Europe, relative to
the interview of Stuttgardt. The existence of thin
circular has been contested. The Patric now
admits that it has been sent, and gives u a reason
the necessity felt by the French Minister of Foreign
Affairs, to explain the true character and import of
an interview between sovereigns, which, while it
has excited universal curiosity, has given rise to the
most conflicting interpretations in the foreign press.
Therefore it is, that correct information has been
now furnished to French envoys. But this measure,
it is very evident, will not put a atop to the random
conjectures of the European press, unless the cir-
cular be made public. All experience shows that it
cannot long be kept secret. Would it not be much
better if the Moniteur were to depart from prece-
dent, and print it at once, instead of waiting till an
" indiscretion," which is sure to happen sooner or
later, gives the document to the world in some pri-
vate newspaper ?
There is a talk of an Austrian Circular to explain
the meeting of Weimar, but this document, suppos-
ing it to exist, has not yet been received in Paris.
Telegraphic news from Marseilles states that the
Emperor's visit to that city is postponed till the
spring. This will be • disappointment not "only
for Marseilles and other towns in the south of France,
but also for A'giers, where hopes of the Emperor's
presence this year had been entertained. It is said
that M. Fould will shortly go to Algiers in the
Emperor's stead to examine various projects for the
improvement of the colony.
Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers' fall from his horse
at the tamp appears to have been more serious then
was at first thought. lie was brought to Paris
yesterday, and is said to be very much hurt.
. . .

The Putrie is instructed to contradict a statement
of a Toulon journal that a second squadron of evolu-
tion, composed of ten steamers, will be organised
next year under the command of Admiral Ro-
nal's Barone's. This news was reproduced by
the Patrie itself, but it is probably considered
not to be in keeping with the "pacific policy " '
which according to its own leading article at yes-
terday, was inaugurated, or at least confirmed, at
Stuttgardt. However this may be, the government
journal, speaking now advisedly, says that the only
certain foundation for the report in question is that
Admiral Remain Hcsfosais will succeed Admiral
Trehouart in the command of the squadron of evo-
lution. "As to the maintenance or augmentation
of the existing number of vemels, we have reason to
believe that the question has not been agitated for
the present."
There is still no official news of the resignation of
the Spanish ministry, but almost all the private
letters concur in stating that ministers only hold
office until successors can be found. The possibility
that Narvacx may remain while the majority of his
colleagues go out is, however, admitted by these
letters.

There has been a further decline at the Boum,
attributed to the stato of the money market in
Europe. The Rente fell 2.k. for cash and 15c. for
account, closing at 67fr. 45c. and 67fr. 70e. Mobi-
Her &ll 30fr. Railways were from 2fr. 50c. to sfr.
lower.

The circulation on the Grand Central Railway is
interrupted, the rails haying been swept away by
the heavy rains in the neighbourhood of St. Etienne,
Roanne, Clermont, and other places.

The lef Emorial de Lille says :
Poe some time past dlosatiefection has been militated at
the private arrangements merle by some of the railway own-
pedal with firms which bind themselves to rend ell their
goods by the line, granting therm more fsvonrahle Mune Wo
are able to announce that the Minister of Commerce and
Public Works he, just decided that, ex a general measure,

uary mot.
