Art. 3. The Rente of Four-and-a-Half per Cent. will
be issued at the rate of 92f. 25c., with usufruct from

lated in the article 6 stated below, the subscriber will re-
ceive a rente of 4f. 50c., which, notwithstanding the in-
tervals of delay granted for the payment of the subscrip-
tion will count as the entire sum from the 22d. of March,
1855.

The Rente of Three per Cent. will be issued at the
rate of 65E 25c. with usufruct from June 22, 1855.

Art. 4. No subscription will be received unless for

Art. 5. Should the amount of the subscriptions ex-
ceed the sum of 750 millions, and the supplementary
capital necessary for facilitating their liquidation and for
defrayir.g the expenses of discount, a capital, the maxi•
mum of which is fixed at 30 millions by the law of July
11, 1855, these subscriptions will be subjected to a pro-
portional reduction.
Nevertheless, the subscriptions, not greater than 50
francs of rente, will not be liable to any reduction.

The subscribers, whose demands shall have been re-
duced, will immediately after the liquidation have reim-
bursed to them the corresponding part of their payment,
unless they may prefer, but in so far as merely regards
the subscriptions that are discountable, as shall be here-
after determined, to leave them as an anticipated pay-
ment ; in which case they will be allowed on the said
payments in advance, dating from the day of actual pay-
ment, a discount of 4 per cent.
Art. 6. The payment of the subscriptions will take place
in the manner following:
One-tenth when subscribing, and the rest by 18 equal
instalments, payable on the 7th of each month, from the
7th Sept., 1855, to the 7th Feb., 1857, inclusively.
The payments by anticipation will be received at the
treasury, in compliance with the law, with a discount of
4 per cent. for all subscriptions not greater than I,ooof.
of rente ; the same right to discount may be subse-
quently granted to subscriptions greater than the last
sum specified.
For the subscriptions of I,ooof. of rente and less the
payments by anticipation may be made at the time of
subscribing, with right of discount on the day of pay-
ment ; but this discount cannot be regulated before the
loan certificates are delivered.

The payments by anticipation will only be received
from the commencement of this last named period.
They can only be made for the entire amount of one
or several instalments.

Art. 7. The subscribers will have delivered to them a
provisional receipt, which, immediately after the closing
of the subscription and the determination of the part
coming to each of them, will be exchanged for a loan
certificate. This certificate will be made out, at their
option, payable in their name or to the bearer.
Art. 8. The loan certificates will be exchanged for in-
scriptions of rente as soon as the last payments shall
have been made.

The holders of certificates exceeding the sum of 1,000
francs of rente may demand partial inscriptions in pro-
portion as the pay in each instalment, and for the sum
corresponding to each of those instalments, the first
tenth always remaining in reserve as a guarantee to the
treasury until the final payment is completed.
Art. 9. In case of delay in the payment of an instal-
ment the debtor will be liable to a claim for interest
from the treasury at the rate of 5 per cent., to commence
from the eighth day after the instalment fa'ls due, nor
will any notice be requisite.
In default of payment when the instalment falls due,
a month's grace being given, the entire amount of the
certificate may be forfeited, and the Minister of Finance
may put it up to sale by auction for the benefit of the
public treasury.

THE LATE COLONEL ENocu.—There is not one of our
military friends who will receive the tidings of the death
of Colonel John Enoch, of the Quartermaster-General's
Department at Head-quarters, with any other than
feelings of the deepest regret. He died yesterday, at
his residence, in Coleshill-street, Pimlico, of inflam-
mation of the lungs, after a fortnight's illness, at the
ripe age of 72. He became a commissioned officer in
the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, and served with that most
distinguished national corps, being himself a native
of Cardiganshire, at Walcheren, and his services are
thus recorded in Hart's "Army List :"—" Col. Enoch
served with the expedition to Walcheren, and at the
siege of Flushing, in 1809 ; in the Peninsula from 1810
to 1813, including the sieges of Badajoz and Olivenza,
in 1811 ; battle of Albuera ; actions of Fuente Grimalda,
25th, 26th, and 27th Sept., 1811 ; sieges of Ciudad
Rodrigo and Badajoz, battle of Salamanca (severely
wounded). Served also in the campaign of 1812, including
the batttle of Waterloo, storming of Cambray, and cap-
ture of Paris." He was appointed to the Quartermaster-
General's staff in the year 1826, and there never was a
more urbane and courteous gentleman within those walls,
his great kindness of disposition being shown to all with
whom his duties brought him in contact. Capt. Kear-
ney, of the 15th Hussars, an officer who earned first-
class honours at Sandhurst, is doing duty at the Horse
Guards until the appointment of Col. Enoch's successor.
THE AMERICAN MAILS.—The United States Mail
steam-ship Atlantic, Captain James West, sailed from
the Mersey on Saturday forenoon for New York with
the usual mails for the United States 150 passengers'
4 and R, full cargo of merchandise pia freight.
