Cur/in.—lt has been found that the silk supplied 111
the Chinese of Loo-chow and Hang-chow, as Impel,
presents for the Mahommedans in Western Tartary,
been so bad as not to be worth wearing. Should tu'
weavers again play a similar trick, the Emperor °rat",

By the estafette from Paris this morning the Frencli
Three per Cents, are quoted at 82 10 ; Spanish 16;
Most of the French Journals repeated a paragraph, &fel'
Toulon, 14th instant, stating that the troops had embarks'
and if the wind was favourable they would put to sea tb,e
next day. This paragraph the French Papers state to PI
an error, as the embarkation of the division of Loved'
will be on board only on the 14th. The division "";.
D'Escars will be afterwards embarked, and the thir"
division (Berthezen) is to sail the last.
