FRANCE.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
Several columns of the Monileur are filled with
addresses to the Prince President, thanking him for
the important services that he has rendered to the
country, and expressing a desire for the re-establish-
ment of the Empire.
An address is in course of signature at Mantes
praying the Pope that he will yield to the wishes of
the French people and come to France to crown Louis
Napoleon Emperor of the French, and thus sanction
by religion a power which has arisen from the unani•
mous acclamation of France.
The Constitutionnel fills a large portion of its front
page with remarks on the order given by the British
Government for measures of precaution in its ports
against the landing of passengers, or cargo, of vessels
arriving from ports infected by cholera. I❑ the
course of its remarks, the Constitutionnel takes oc •
crsion to express its approbation of the conduct
of the French Government in promoting the
Sanitary Congress, although it had of all coun-
tries the least int-rest in the question.
Four columns of the Siecle are filled with an article
on the production and commerce in wines. The
greater part of the article consists of statistical details,
which have an interest only for a particular class of
readers, but there are some points which are rather
striking. Alluding to the exports of French wines
to England the Siecle observes that since the equali-
sation of the duties in that country, and consequently
the large reduction that ensued in these on French
wines, the sale of the latter in England has diminished
instead of increasing. This is attributed, by the Sih.le,
partly to the adulterations of French wines, by which
their reputation has been injured, and partly to the
fact that the equali'ation of the duties has fa.
voured the introduction of the wines .of other
countries. The Siecle thinks that if the two
countries could come to some arrangement for the
modification of the tariff by mutual concessions, so as
to effect a considerable reduction in the price of
French wines in England, the exports from this
country would increase enormously, for there would
not be the same inducement for adulteration, and
wines, which are scarcely exported at all now, i❑
consequence of the very high rate of duties, would
have a large consumption in England, as they are of
a nature to suit the English taste. In another part of
the article the Sii:cle alludes to the injurious effect of
the commercial differences between France and Bel-
gium on the trade in wines. It shows the gradual
but rapid increase of the exports to Belgium of late
years, and expresses a hope that matters will be soon
arranged, so as to restore to France this important
market.
The annual general meeting of the shareholders of
the railway company from Mulhausen to Thann has
been held in Lemardelay's great room, rue Richelieu

The company has constituted itself from its state

en command& to that of societ,"; anonyme. The ac-
counts presented in the name of M. Nicolas Kcechlin,
deceased, were unanimously approved of, and the di-
rectors were authorised to act as might appear to
be best to obtai❑ the extension of the line across the
department of the Vosges to Nancy and Toul. This
matter is more particularly confided to M. Mathieu
Dollfus, M. Javal, and M. Benoit-Laroche.
The Count Pea de Villamarina, the new Sardinian
Minister to the French Republic, has arrived i❑ Paris.
The Marquis d'Azeglio, Sardinian Minister in Lon-

don, has also arrived in Paris, on his way to London;
from Turin, where he has been en conge.
The Prince President, before leaving Tours, gave
20,000 fr. to the General Hospital at Tours. In
addition to which he gave different sums to the old

soldiers of the empire; 500 fr. to the Sisters of
Charity, for the establishment of a Creche ; 300 fr.

women who presented him with a bouquet; and

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 16Ji have arrived. At the
Cabi❑et Council held on the previous evening, the
question of suppressing the Government monopoly of
tobacco and salt was started. The Minister of
Finance warmly advocated the measure, but no deci-
sion was come to.

Geaeral ALzarredo, who had been sent to Bor-
deaux by the Spanish Government to compliment the
Prince President, has returned to Vittoria, and re•
sumed the command of the Basque provinces.
The Clamor Publico states, from Lisbon, that a
dictatorial decree had been published, ordering the
tobacco manufactory to deposit in the Treasury the
sum which the Bank bad refused to advance, contrary
to the provisions of the decree of August 30. The
reports of a coalition between the Ministry and the
Septembrista party had acquired some consistence,
although the organ of the latter declared itself
against such a measure.
The Three per Cents. were done at 48 ; the New
Three per Cents. at 26 11-16; the Debt of the First
Class at 12 5.16 ; and that of the Second at 6i.
