[From the Milli, ar of aturday, Dec. 31.]
' Slissorosunt, Nov. 20.
About the end of October„ Redschid Pacha had retreated to
VI achnri, to dir.ct the op, rations of the I'olllolton which were to
re.cs!ablisii his atom unication: eith Arta, Prevesa and Joannins.
He was forbidden, by order; front Gonstamineple, to evacuate Melia
aad cert,seia. He raised the siege of Slissolonglii ; the Turks
remained within a stout distance, and had frequent actions with the.
garrison, hi ItetlNCh Iktatill',l columns had every day with the
Hicek which had brut reinforced.
Such wan the state of Ming% on the 13th of November. Qreat
exertions were wade nt 3lissotoughl to put the place in a good state
of defecce, and to provision it, as it was known that the Capltsn
Pacheti fleet Lad arrived, and that the Greek fleet had retired. A
Turkish sipiadron appeared on the 20th of November, but did not
establish a strict blockade, the garrisoniked received reinforcements
a fcw days before. The Capitan Paths had a long conference at
Pat:as vital Jutsur, probably to concert their future operations.
Redschid has already sent part of his troops towards Slissoloughi.
The Creels nee probably going to take One important steps.
3liaMis hying Mr Cape Papa, the Capiten Pacha must engage him
before lie can ciTectit illy co-operate in the siege or 3lissolonght.

The Cer►nan Papers receive 4 sine our last pt►biicatior.
contain some details of the fatal mess of the Emperor
LE!: IND ro, which differ from the accounts we have pre-
liously had with respect to the length of its duration.
The statement to which we refer in the Franl.l bre Journal,
represents the EMPLROR to have died after a fortnight's
snaring, from a bilious fever. It is remarkable that the
first notice of this great political event, in so many ways
peculiarly important to the Court of Vienna, appeared in
the au, rian Obsrr ref. only on the 20th of December•
The Emperor Co NSTA NTI E, it would seem, hail deferred
the exercise of his sovereignty until his arrival at St.
Pt_ tersburgli.

Mr. Teavaus is evidently not a little chagrined by the
round assertion made in Galignmars Messenger, that he
had opposed himself to the endeavours of Mr. Ilesstssos
to bring about a commercial treaty with France, and so
great in his anxiety that such a report should not gain
credit, that he addresses a letter to the Editor of that Jour-
nal (sec the British Press of Saturday) for the purpose of
contradicting it. 11;fore making any comment on this let-
ter, it is proper ..ltat we should enable our readers to under-
stand the very embarrassing position in which Mr. Tta-
NAUX stood with regard to the object which Mr. ill:1'-
51550 x was so desirous to accomplish ; from which it will
be seen why Mr. TE aNAUX was so anxious t.) exempt him-
self from the charge of "having been one of the manufac-
turers the most opposed to au arrangement of the new com-
mercial relations that Mr. IlesxissoN proposed at the
time of his recent visit to France."

Mr. TERNAVX is a manufacturer of the very first emi-
nence; many articles woven at his manufactory ere ad-
mitted into this country, and being of a texture and qua-
lity not known here, afford him very large returns of profit.
The French Government have no objection, of course, to
our admitting the goods of any manufacturer in France to
any extent, but they will t.ot, in return, permit a bale of
cotton from England to enter their ports. Mr. Hes xisso
than whom no Minister can he more truly, and at heart,
desirous to promote the commercial interests of his coun-
try, was induced to visit Paris, with a view to paving the i
way to a mutual relaxation of the prohibitory system, and,
if possible, to negotiate a treaty of commerce, by which
English manufactures might be admitted into France, and
French manufactures `into England, upon a basis to be
agreed upon. It is reasonable to presume that upon
such a subject, involving considerations of vital im-
portance to the manufacturing interests of Fiance,
Mr. Ti: X. a Member of the Chamber of Deputies and
a manufacturer, not only taking the lead as such, but com-
bining with great wealth and influence a sound judgment,
extensive mercantile knowledge, and the habits of a prac-
tised politician—we say, it is reasonable to presume that
such an individual—if the overtures of Mr. Hos& trsox
came at all under discussion—would be among the first to
be consulted. It was at least natural that he should have a
voice in such a deliberation; but if, however, it be true, as
be affirms, and we are bound to believe him—" that he not
only did not employ, as the letters from Paris affirm, any
means to induce the French Government to reject the propo-
sitions that may have been made, but even had not the
slightest sommunication upon the subject with any of its
members," he then must have kept aloof, for reasons which
it requires no very profound penetration to fathom. Bat
the next passage in this his exculpatory letter is somewhat
remarkable:—" Neither," says Mr.TERN•UX, " bad I the
honour of seeing Mr. Ileseisson, and upon that occasion
I sincerely regretted that custom, in France, is opposed to
calling on strangers when one has sot the advantage gf being
known to them. Bad it been otherwise, 1 should have
eagerly gone to offer my homage to a Minister of so honour-
able a character." There is here a marked want of sin-
cerity. I)aes Mr. Trasracx mean to say that he could
have had even the slightest difficulty in procuring an in-
troduction to Mr. Huseasson, had he been so inclined.
Custom, in every country as well as in France, precludes
the calling on any person to wham you are a stranger,
without tic intervention of some common friend to whom
both parties are known. But that a British Minister, so
publicly known as Mr. H unmet's:, whose motives in
coming to Paris were well known to Mr. Teanacx,
and to whom—but for this custom—lie would—as
be expressly declares—hare eagerly gone to ?ffir hint
his homage ; that he should, iu the first place, be
classed under the description of strangers, and—in the
next—that see should be required to believe that it was
not possible to have obtained an interview which the pecu-
liar object of Mr. Husaissoe's visit must have made on
his part an desirable, is truly preposterous. The plain
:uth is, Mr. Tens:Aux neither made the experiment nor
wished to do it. He had better at once have spoken out,
and in that tone of manly confession which every one may
understand, and which, from its frankness, every one
would approve, have said,—" Knowing wall that the ob-
ject of Mr. Ilesersso N./ visit to Paris was to induce the
French Government to relax its prohibitory system, and
to negotiate some basis upon which Great Britain and
France might mutually open their ports to the manufac-
tures of each nation, under such protective regulations as
their respective interests might be found to require—being'
quite satisfied that Monsieur DE VII4.ELE dare not
bring forward any such proposition to the French As-
sembly, even if lie were so inclined ; and that
I could not—in the present rooted determination of
the French people to adhere to their prohibitory system—
safely interfere in favour of opening our ports to English
manufactures, I thought it better to avoid any personal in-
terview with the British Minister, knowing, Were-

baml, die utter impossibilitx of my beim
the objea of his visit to Paris, and conscit
time, of the assistance that he iras entitled
me, who, as a manufacturer, bad found fi
my own goods into England, under tha,
which, as a subject of Frauce, it was out
ad cocate."

This would have been perfectly
candid mind would have readily made :
circumstances which called for this neuti
was, perhaps, warranted strike by prude,
pelliency.
We can easily conceive that Mr. T.
anxious to stand well with the manuft
country. Ile cannot, therefore, but be d
finding himself held up to them, through
nals, as the person must oppc..m to at+
commercial relations with Eurland, unsaid
French manufacturer, his goods permit
British market, and that lie had been at all t
received in England by her merchant, and
with the utmost friendliness and eot•tesy
formation which be sought was withheld
conclusion of his letter betrayi the true fp
neatness to clear himself front this cli.t-ge
fcrence. " I entertain," se be to Paris Eel or,
much confidence in, and for the manufacturer::

a:,

and dealers who received m • :1 marked liminess;
upon my different visits in ; ;! ''at I 40-. f! am
they should remain convince., Ia _ ...iwis, li
viated from the principles and wishes that hot ezpressed
to them, of seeing commercial relations store intimate and
reciprocally advantageous to both nations established. For
this reason you will oblige Inc by the inaction of this letter
in your journal."
It is very natural to Mr. TCIINAVX to express these
favourable hopes and wishes. He was profiting at the
time, in hi: own petson, by that freedom of commercial
intercourse which he well knew that hislawn countrymen
would never grant to England, but wlich it cost him
nothing to hope might some day be reciprtcal. We do not
say this in the spirit of ill-will to Mr. TERNAUX ; far
from it; while the English manufacturers mid dealers were
actually furthering his interests, it was but common polite-
ness to wish well to theirs. We have no desire to fax his
gratitude too highly, but certainly had we been at his
elbow when Mr. HUS NISSONI was in Paris, we should have
reminded him that he had found in England no insur-
mountable obstacle to " the calling on strangers when one
has not the advantage ot being known to them." And we
would further hint to him, that if he was as sincerely de-
sirous, as to our manufacturers he had professed himself
to be, " of seeing commercial relations more intimate and
reciprocally advantageous to both nations established," it is
to be regretted that, knowing Mr. liussissos had come
to France for the express purpose of making arrangements, if
possible, to accomplish that most desirable object—he should
have so wholly, and wilfully, refrained from contributing
at all to promote it, as to be able to avow—as he does in
his present letter—in addition to his not having seen Mr.
Hess tsso es, that he never had the slightest communication
clan the swVect either with the French Government or with
any of its members!—Having said thus much, we leave the
affair with Mr. TERN•UX. It is not our fault that he thus
casts a doubt on his own sincerity, and we think he would
have done wiser not to have suffered the Paris Journal to
put him upon his defence, unless he was prepared to make
a better vindication.

CITY, SATURDAY Evcwzio.

The Mouey Market opened this morning with a very
favourable appearance, Consols for Account advancing from
EP.: to 89.1, but the latter quotation was maintained only
for a short time, three or four of the leading speculators
having sold to a large amount, even in the face of a
great scarcity of Reduced Annuities, so that Consols for
Account declined again to 92. In the course of the after-
noon they were sold currently at 814, but left off a shade
higher. The transactions altogether have been to a much
larger amount than yesterday. At resent, the demand
for Money Stock counteracts the unfavourable influence of
the time bargains, which is a state of things precisely the
reverse to what it was a fortnight since. The report of the
sudden death of an illustrious individual, which was 'rm.
current this afternoon, although it met with general credit
for the moment, did not make the slightest impression on
the maket.

The scarcity of Reduced Annuities to-clay has been
occasioned partly by several large sums having been
vested in them by individuals' who held Danish Stock just
paid off.
What little business has been done in Exchequer Bills,
has been done at from par to 3s. premium, the interest to'
be derived from 'them being precisely the same as that
given for money on stock for short periods. India Bonds
are again higher, and have been sold at 7s. and 9s. pre-
mium, and will be preferred to Exchequer Bills, as they
yield an interest of 4 per cent. In consequence of the sud-
den change in the general aspect of aftkirs in the City, it
is now conjectured that Ministers will be enabled to carry
their financial arrangements into execution without any
new loan ; but even wagers have been laid to a large
amount that Exchequer Bills must be funded.
The circulation to-day of 1,300,000/. on the Danish .S
per Cents Loan, now reduced, appears to have been very
much anticipated in the Foreign Market, where little vari-
ation has occurred. The South American Bonds have
risen about 1 per Cent. New Colombian opened this
morning at 611. advanced to 62, and declined again one-
half per cent. Mexican 6 per Cents. have fluctuated be-
tween 651 661.
Dividends to a pretty large amount will be in the course
of payment on Monday, and in the middle of next month,
which, no doubt, will operate very favourably on Foreign
Stock generally, ia, the event of there nor bring any retro-
grade movement in our own Funds.
The demand for Northern Stock has been more limited
to-day than it was yesterday. Russian Bonds, both for
Money anti Account, are only a shade higher. Danish 3
per Cents. which were yesterday at from ..16; to .59, have
to-day touched 60.
The only bargains made in Spanish Bonds this morning
have been at from 121 to 124. In the French Recites there
has been a depression of from i to 1 per cent., in the ab-
sence, lion ever, of any news of the slightest interest from
Paris.

Some pretty large sales have been effected, on the late
advance, in the South American Mining projects, which
has produced a slight depression. Anglo-Mexican, which
left off yesterday at .52/. 105. have to-day been sold at 421.
10s. per Share. Colombian have declined from I fa. to 131.
las. but advanced again in the course of the afternoon, and
the New United Shares, for which 21/.los. was given yes-
terday, have been done at 19/. per Share. In the Real del
Monte we believe there has been no alteration.

The Demerara Gazette, of the 22d of October, promul-
gates an Ordinance from the Crown for the religious in-
struction of the slaves, and the future improvement of
their condition. It is of the nature as that published in
Trinidad. _ _

The report which has prevailed on the Stock Exchange,
that four rail of the line and smaller vessels are to be sent
immediately to the Mediterranean, to watch the motions of
the Emperor Constantine, does not appear founded on fact.
There are five sail of the line in Portsmouth harbour,
which could, if it should be deemed necessary. be speedily
equipped for any active service, but not the least intitna-
tiutt been given that such a necessity is likely to occur.
