securities, which were in little demand, and gene-
rally at reduced quotations. Lyons to the Medi-
terranean shares lelllOE, and Northerns, Paris and
Strasbourgs, and Paris and Lyons, each declined
6f. In Paris and Rouen an advance of 2f. occurred,
whilst in the remaining principal lines there was
no change. Closing prices :—Northerns, 917 f.
75c. ; Paris and Orleans, I,loof. ; Paris and Stras-
bourg, 942 f. 75c. ; Paris and Lyons, 955 f. 25c. ;
Paris and Rouen, 1,144 f. 50e. ; Lyons to the Medi-
terranean, 800 f. ; Western of France, 782 f. 50c.
It will be seen that there has been a serious fall
in the price of all public securities. The depres-
sion has been produced by the unsatisfactory nature
of the recent news from Constantinople, and the
equally unsatisfactory intelligence received from
Switzerland.

The New Zurich Gazette declares that the recall
of Count Karnicki, the Austrian Minister at Berne,
is the result of a mistake ; but a telegraph dispatch
has been received from Berne, dated the 23d, which
shows that the Swiss Government, so far from con-
sidering the recall of the Austrian Minister as a
mistake, has acted as if it were done in good ear-
nest, and withdrawn its representatives.
The following is the dispatch :
" Berne May 23.
_ .

•
" In consequence of the notification made by the Aus-
trian Charge d'Affaires to the President of the Helvetic
Confederation, of the rupture of diplomatic relations be-
tween Austria and Switzerland, the Federal Council has
decided on putting an immediate end to the functions of
the Swiss envoy at Vienna."
