FRANCE.

PARIS, Dn. 28,

°Pinions are divided with respect to the
Itt/illlttereial crisis which has prevailed in Paris and
die departments. Some assure us that all
fk
s4culties have ceased among commercial people ;
tigers maintain the contrary. It appears certain
at the French merchants have not been as yet so
hl'ereiy affected by the embarrassments which
444 e arisen in neighbouring countries as might
been expected. Before it can be said,
it • ever, that all difficulties are surmounted,
ilia necessary to wait till the bills due on the
areinst., and those coming duo in January,
tie all paid. It is now ascertained that many
to the commercial bills due on the 15th inst. were
ttitlewed. This mode of settlement neither places
ttle cash in the hands of merchants and manufac-
gi,re.re, of which they have much need, nor has it
diminished the amount of the bills payable It has
etelY postponed payment. Everybody in France
,Pears to be possessed of cash at this moment,
b.coPt merchants and manufacturers, and the
tslit proof that the latter are in want of this
t:ential element of commerce is that labour is
414 great degree suspended in the manufactories,
4,,!t. the bonding stores are encumbered with
'cles of primary necessiLy—such as cotton,
qi'lee, sugar, silk, and wool—and that traffic is
tninishing on the railways. The Paris oorn and
11°11r market was unusually quiet last week. It is
it(llt expected that there will be much activity in
Obe corn trade before the end of Janitary, when
f Preceding year's accounts are closed. Flour

gee Sarthe, and Brie are quoted at 50f and 491. the
qock- There was very little business done in the
lea market. Samples of wheat from Sons and
11113ntereau, for which 271. and 28f. were de.
lit4nded, were sold at 27f and 271. 50c. the hecto-
re. The fall in the price of wheat during
Iv the
D:ek may be set down at 50e. the hectolitre on
itne wheat, and if. on ordinary quality. There
01ts hardly anything done in rye. The price is
kirillnat at 17g. and 3.71. 50e. the weight of 115

fitne samples are scarce. Light oats from Bar
toinin weighing 122 kilogrammes the three hoc-

AUSSIA.

A letter from Warsaw, of the 21st says The
great financial crisis which for six weeks has pre-
vailed in the States of Northern Europe, is making
itself felt in a most disqßioting manner at Warsaw,
and the other eommercial towns of Poland. Not
only have a great number of traders been ruined
by excessive spesulations in native and foreign pro-
ductions, but the recent failures at Dantzic, Konigs-
berg, and other ports of the Baltic, have caused dis-
asters in the corn, wool, and. oleaginous seeds trades,
and those articles form the principal territorial wealth
of this kingdom. From time immemorial, our
traders and the owners of estates who cultivate
their own land, are accustomed to consign annually
corn and other productions of the soil to merchants
in the Baltic ports. Bilis to a largo amount are
consequently drawn on those merchants, but many
of these bills have been returned protested. Most
of the persons for whom they were discounted are
unable to reimburse them, and numerous bank-
ruptcies are the result."
