FRANCE.

From the Siecle we learn that the ass:Aant
chemist who was suspected of having provided the
cook of the Marquis Wielopolski with poison has
succeeded in rejoining the insurgents. Among
those who dined with the marquis and suffered
from the effects of the poison was the daughter of
the Count Keller.

Accounts from Warsaw, of the 10th inst., state
that the insurrection is all but suppressed; but re-
ports from other quarters lead us to believe that
" the wish is father to the thought" with the Rus-
sian correspondent.
Le Pays, in reference to a passage in M. PicArd,s
speech of Thursday, indignantly deniEs the asser-
tion that M d'Auchald, the successor of M. Mires,
in the proprietorship of that journal, and the Con-
stitutionnel was selected by the Government, and
asked to give a blank resignation, thus putting
his politics at the discretion of the Minister. Le
Pays declares that M. d'Auchald was chosen by
M. Mires, who possessed the right of nominating
his successor.

The Emperor and Empress were present last
night at a grand ball at the Austrian Embassy.

From those returns it appears that whilst the me-
tallic reserve has increased, the discount accommo-
dation and the amount of notes in circulation have
diminished, but the latter not in large proportions.
The metallic reserve shows an augmentation of 24,1
millions, of which 131 are in the Paris establish-
ment and 111 in the provinces. The discount ac-
commodation has falle,n off not less than 691, mil-
lions, of which 511 were in Paris and 181 in the
depqrtments. Advances on gold and silver bullion,
rente, and railway stock remain without much
change, except in two items, namely, French secu-
rities and railway shares, the former of which have
declined 20 millions and the latter 6. On the side
of the liabilities, the notes in circulation have dimi-
nished 9£ millions. The account-current of the
Treasury shows a decline of 25 millions ; private
accounts have also fallen off 271 millions in Paris,
but have increased 1 million in the branch banks.
The whole amount of the metallic reserve at pre-
sent is 2891 millions, to 825/ millions of notes in
circulation.

The following brief but important paper was
issued from the Foreign Office last night
Mn, LAYARD TO THE SECRETARY TO TIIE ADM IRALTY.
Foreign Office, Aug. 28, 1862.
Sir,-1 am directed by Earl Russell to request that you
will acquaint the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty
that, in the opinion of his lordship, Vice-Admiral Martin
should have orders to accede to any request of the Pope to
send a ship to Civita 'Vecchia to convey him to Malta.
I am, &c.,

The Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland was a guest at
the banquet given by the Lord Mayor of Dublin on
Thursday evening, and in the course of his speech, in reply
to his health, said :—" Would that we could in any way
waft this olive branch of our own ark of safety to our war-
ring and bleeding brethren in the other hemisphere. I do
not believe in the present position of "circumstances in that
great continent, and amidst the present passion of men's
minds, the occasion has not arisen when we could interfere
with advantage or with efficacy. There are two points on
which I feel anxious with respect to my own country. One
is that, whil, we do not precipitate, we should not churlishly
neglect any available opportunity of counselling peace.
The other, which I feel still more strongly is, that we
should keep ourselves thoroughly and entirely clear from
COMplicity with slavery,"
