is stated that before determining the conditions and extent
of the loan, the holders of the floating debt will be offered
an exchange into the consolidated debt, and it will not be
until the result of this offer is known that the amount will
be fixed. A considerable reduction of the army is coon.
deafly spoken of. Our military officers will be kept up
intact, but the men will be disbanded in • very large pro-
portion."

Thu DrZate of to-day concludes an article (by M.
Provost Porodol) upon the new finalcial changes in France
in the following words :—" It is both a common and profita-
ble lesson to see a government which nobody prams, which
is threatened by none, which we do not even dare to advise.
yielding to experience alone, and recognising by an exit-
amination into the state of the treasury that the legislative
control is as necessary to itself as to the country. Doubt-
less we are not yet at the end of such lessons, always costly
but always salutary as well. The force of things is at
work in all human institutions, and in proportion as It is
ceded to or resisted, it harmonises them with the spirit of
the time, or it breaks them to pieces. We aid it to the
bed of our power, but, in truth, it is not in used of us ; it
speaks in the universal silence; it commands when all the
world obeys. Happy the governments who know how to
listen to it in time."

" A treaty of commerce," nays the Morning Post,
" has been concluded between Turkey and England and
France, which will have great effect in promoting the agri-
culture and commerce of Turkey, and her trade with the
two Western Powers. There are vast tracts of land, in
many instances near the coma, which will now prolubly be
brought into cultivation. Under the old Turkish system
the government reserved to itself the monopoly of the
purchase of corn, which it sought to obtain at an arbitra-
rily low price for the consumption of Constantinople and
the great cities. Landowners, consequently, only sowed suf-
ficient for their own wants, and any surplus they had went
to the government at its own prim. Under the treaty con-
cluded by Lord Ponsonby with the Porte this monopoly was
abolished; but the Turks, still anxious to keep their grail'
at home, insisted on an export duty of 12 per cent., which
only had the effect of impeding the industry of some of the
finest grain-producing land in the world. The new treaty,
which will come into effect on the Ist of March, 1862, at
once reduces the duty on all exports to 8 per cent., which is
to be further reduced 1 per cent. every year till it finally
emcee. To make up what loss this may occasion to the
revenue, the duty on imports, which was formerly five per
cent., is to be raised to eight."

A Constantinople letter nays :—" We have sus-
tained a loos by the death of Mr. Wroth, the Vice• Consul
Mans:olW of our Supreme Consular Court here. Me died
at Behek on Saturday, the 26th of October, after a short
illness, and was buried in the English cemetery at Scutari
cc the following Moalay. Some 250 of the leading mem-
bers of the English, lonian, and Maltese colonies followed
him to the grave, and throughout the entire community
there is but one foaling of deep regret for his premature
death."
