FRANCE.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
Several columns of the Illoniteur are filled with
addresses to the Prince President, thanking him for
the important cervices 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
psge with remarks on the order given by the British
Government for measures of precaution in its ports
against the landing of pasiengers, or cargo, of vessels
arriving from ports infected by cholera. In the
course of its remarks, the Constitutionntl takes oc •
casion 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 interest 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 Sitl,cle,
partly to the adulterations of French wines, by which
their reputation has been injured, and partly to the
fact that the equalisation of the duties has fa-
voured the introduction of the wines of other
countries. The Sack 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, in
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 SiLle 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 of
en cominandite to that of societe anonyme. The ac-
counts presented in the name of M. Nicolas Koechlin,
deceased, were unanimously approved of, and the di-
rectors were authorised to act as might appear to
be best to obtain 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 in Paris.
The Marquis d'Azeglio, Sardinian Minister in Lon-
don, has also arrived in Paris, on his way to London;
from Turin, where he bas been en tongs.
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.
to the Dames de la Halle; 200 fr. to the young work-
women who presented him with a bouquet; and
200 fr. to the workmen who presented him with a
magnificent silk bell-rope. On passing through
Amboise, he gave 500 fr. to the old soldiers of the
republic and of the empire.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 16th have arrived. At the
Cabinet Council held on the previous evening, the
question of suppressing the Gcvernm,,ut monopoly of
tobacco and salt was started. The Minister of
Finance warmly advocated the measure, but no deci-
sion was come to.
Geaeral Mazarredo, 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 had 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 bad 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 5-1 G; and that of the Second at G.
