standing the great quantity of raw silk imported
from the East, - prices are so exorbitant 'that the
manufacturers are deterred from purchasing.
The accounts from Rouen and from the manufac-
turing towns in Alsace are better. Business
appears to be reviving. Orders have been received
there from the departments, but none &dm Paris.
The rise in the price of corn in Paris is ,71.1eeked,
and no doubt the fall would have been ,-:•eater
were it not for the constant rain, which creates
some uneasiness f-r the growing crops.
The markets in the departments are well ,sup-
plied, and the farmers (who held over their stock
in hopes of obtaining as high prices as last year)
are now anxious to sell, fearing a further fall.
Flour of the very best quality was offered at the
last Paris market at 801. the sack of 157 kilo•
grammes. Inferior samples fell at least a franc the
sack. The millers endeavour to maintain prices ;
the bekers, however, were able to supply them-
selves at from 74f to• 77f. the sack. Two circum.
stances tended to lower prices at the last market
—the appearance of a large quantity of flour from
the well-known Darbly mills, and letters f,-•om
Lille a.nnonneing a fall of 21 a sack on wheat.
There is a complete absence of speculation on the
Paris corn market. The reserve of flour has again
decreased, and is now below 8,000 quintals. The
millers complain that the price of wheat is out of
proportion with that of flour. Good wheat from
the Beauce was sold freely at the last Paris market
at 291 and 291 50c the hectolitre, but inferior qua-
'Ries were offered, and completely neglected, even
at a reduction of if as compared with the prece-
ding market. The purchasers from Lyons, who
contributed to keep up the Paris market have nearly
disappeared, and this has tended to paralyze the
market. The southern departments maintain prices.
Thero was a slight decline in the cattle markets of
the departments last week ; but the Paris markets
are rising, and there is not any hope of a reduction
in the price of butcher's meat. It appears from a
calculation made by the order of Government, that
the consumption of butcher's meat in Paris has
increased by 30 per cent. within a few years, while
the production has diminished in consequence of
the dearness of fodder. The high price of wine
has nearly stopped all sales at Bercy, and still there
is no probability of any reduction. The fact is, the
production in France since disease appeared in the
vineyards has not been equal to the demand, and
the deficiency has been supplied by a mixture of
foreign wines and by distillation. Spirits of wine
are stationary. Languedoc is quoted at 212 f., and
beetroot at 140 f. the hectolitre..

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, JAN. 24

A telegraphic despatch will have informed you
that the Persians, after having lost possession of
Bushire, accepted the conditions of the British ;
but it is not known whether the words, " the
British," referred to the expedition to the Persian
Gulf or to Her Majesty's Government. Nothing
positive is known here respecting the movements of
the Russians on • le3 south and south east coasts of
the Caspian, but an impression prevails in Austrian
official circles that the St. Petersburg Government is
for the moment much more inclined to peace than
to war. " If," say the professional politicians of
this city," the Russians have occupied the province
of Astrabad, it by no means follows as a matter of
course that they intend to advance towards Herat.
The St. Petersburg Cabinet has a liking 'for
material guarantees, and it will probably hold
Astrabad until peace is concluded between Persia
and England, and the latter has withdrawn her
forces from the Persian Gulf." A Trieste corre-
spondent of the Augsburg Gazette explaine ,vly the
Russian Government is so desirous to ',brain
from the Persian Monarch the mountainous
district of !Maku (Mahon). As the execrable state
of the caravan road from Trehizonde, by way of
Etzeroum and Bajazid, to Tabriz has greatly dis-
gusted the mercantile world, the Russians are
desirous to open a communication between their
Black Sea port, Redout Kaleh and Tabriz.
The proposed caravan road would pass through
Tiflis and Erivan, and then run in a southernly
direction by way of Maku to Tabriz. It is
asserted that the - Shah has already ceded the
district in question to the Czar: but the fact is that '
Ilih Khan, its actual possessor, has never acknow-
ledeed the supremacy of the Persian Monarch.
When Dili Khan was informed by the Governor of
Erivau of what had passed between the St Peters
b ; eg and Teheran Governments, he coolly observed
that if the Russians coveted Maku " they should
come and take it." Maku, which lies between the
Armenian table land and Tabriz, at the northern
extremity of the Persian province of Azerbijan, is
full of defiles and gorges. The old caravan road
runs along the bank of the Alsas, or small river
which falls into the Araxes, after having worked
its way through the mountains of Maku.
Official information has to-day been received
that their Mejesties will not leave the capital of
Lombardy until the 27th instant. On Wednesday,
tLe 21st, the Emperor inspected many of the
public establishments, while the Empress visited
some of the convents. Their Majesties were
loudly cheered in the evening when they appeared
at the Scala, in which theatre there was a grand
ball given in their honour by the municipal
authorities. It is not probable that either the Em-
peror or the Empress danced, as the latter has not
been quite well for some time past; but we learn
that the personal appearance of her Majesty pro-
duced a very favourable impression on the Milanese,
who, according to their custon, gave most audible
expression to their admiration. On Thursday,
there was a shooting party at Monza, and a con-
cert at Court, in the evening. The morning of
yesterday was spent by the Emperor in visiting
the barracks.
A few days since—on the 18th probably—the
Archduke Ferdinand Max was received with loud
cheers by the people as he drove along the Corso
Francesco. The Milanese know thse the youthful
Prince is to be the successor of Marshal Radetzky
and they probably wished to give him to under-
stand that they were well pleased with the Empe-
roes choice. The accounts published by some of
the Sardinian papers of the reception given to
their Majesties on their arrival at Milan are as false
as they are indecorous The Unione, for instance,
informs its readers, that the females who stood on
the balconies of the houses near the Porta Orientale
and waved their handkerchiefs as their Majesties
drove to the Cathedral, " were women of bad cha-
racter, hired by the police for the occasion." The
wrath of the Austrian authorities is great, and you
may be assured that the breach between the Vienna
and Turin governments is wider than eyer. Some
of the foreign papers relate that the British and
French diplomatists are endeavouring to bring about
a reconciliation between Austria and Sardinia,
but no intelligence hee reaebed me which could
in any way tend to confirm the statement. It
is, however, related that the French Minister
at Turin has expressed to Count Cavour
the surprise of his government that no attempt
is made to check the abuse of the liberty of the
press. People hero give credit to the foregeiag
statement, but as long as the person and policy of
the Emperor Napoleon are held sacred, the French
Government is not very likely to complain of any
undue license on the part of the Sardinian press.
During his sojourn at Milan the principal bankers
and merchants have paid extreme attention to
Baron Bruck, and that statesman has half pro-
mised that a discount bank shall be established
in the capital of Lombardy. As Austria has
promised to Parma and Modena to reduce the
duty on colonial goods, those duchies are likely to
consent to renew the Customs Duty Treaty. A
Lloyd steamer, coming from Dalmatia, has brought
to Trieste some few particulars reletive to the Asia.
The vessel got aground on a sandy beach during
the night of the 12th, which was extremely dark.
A strong gale was blowing from the south west,
and a heavy surf rendered assistance from* the
shore impossible. The steamer lay exposed to the
violence of wind and wave some 12 hours before
she began to get leaky, but at noon on the
13th the captain considered it advisable to send
the passengers and mail bags on shore. When
the crew quitted the ship she was already four
or five feet deep in the sand and every wave
made her condition more hopeless. Two Lloyd
