FRANCE.

La Patrie has the following in prominent typ e:—
" We believe that we are correct in stating that the
Emperor has received a letter from President Juarez.
In that letter the President of the Mexican Republic
complains that he cannot establish a strong and
durable Government precisely because he has the
French expedition against him. He, consequently,
insists upon an arrangement which would separate
the French troops from the party which has rallied
to France, and which would establish between the
troops and what he calls the National party a valu-
able understanding for the welfare of the country."
The 111oniteur publishes a report from the Mi-
nister of Commerce on the working of the law of
Nov. 16, 1858, by which bakers in provincial towns
were compelled to maintain constantly in store a
supply of flour equal to their three months' con-
sumption :
" That measure was adopted when a crisis, pro-
duced by a scarcity of long duration, was succeeded
by a harvest so abundant as to exercise a very sen-
sible depreciation on the price of corn. It was
thought that, both with a view of securing a regu-
larity in the future supply and in the interests of
agriculturists, it was advisable to apply the system
of a bakers' reserve—until then only in operation
in Paris—in a uniform manner, and on a basis
larger than that ou which it had previously existed.
Experience, however, has shown that the object in
view has not been attained. In some towns want
of capital by the bakers has rendered the formation
of a reserve impossible. In others the reserves
formed with great difficulty could not be main-
tained intact, and the local authorities were placed
in the alternative of either tolerating an irregular
state of things or having recourse to measures of
rigour which would have in certain cases produced
a serious disorder in the bakery trade. The law
of the 15th June, 1861, by opening the ports to
the free importation and exportation of corn, has
also given an important development to the
bakers' trade, and it appears logical not at present
to any longer impose a computsory amount of flour
judge
of the baker, but to leave him at liberty to
of the extent of the stock required in his trade,
land to employ his capital as he thinks fit The
Minister then recommends the repeal of the law
on the reserve in the provinces, concluding his
report by saying that the regime of the bakery
trade in Paris and the questions relating to its
organisation can only receive a definite solution
after deliberations in the Council of State, which
solution cannot be much longer postponed."
The report is followed by an Imperial decree
repealing the law of Nov. 16, 1858, which ex-
tended the measure of keeping a reserve to the
provincial bakers.

" The Empress of Austria," says the Wanderer,
"is about to proceed on a visit to her family at
Possenhofen, in Bavaria, the Emperor accompany-
ing her a part of the journey. Queen Victoria is
expected at the Chateau of Greinburg, in Upper
Austria, at the end of September. Her Majesty
wil► not visit Vieun 3, but will return to London by
Munich."
