LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

FRANCE.

It was reported on Wednesday evening and yes-
terday in Paris, that the Emperor of hussia, while
rejecting the modifications, has at the same time
declared that if the Porte even now accept the
Vienna note he will give orders to his troops to
evacuate the Principalities. The Paris correspon-
dent of the Times remarking upon this, in a letter
published in a second edition of that journal, this
day, says—" If the Emperor has really said so, it
is perhaps because he is convinced that the Sultan
dare not accept the note on these conditions, and
that compliance would very probably be followed
by a demonstration on the part of the army and
the population that would place his crown, if
not his life, in danger. The war party has cer-
tainly the upper hand for the present, and what-
ever may be the Sultan's personal wishes, he is
powerless before them."
It was confidently stated yesterday that orders
had been dispatched to the commanders of the cor-
vette the Serieuse and the brig the Mercure to
proceed to the Levant to reinforce the squadron
there.

The greatest activity prevails at present through-
out the marine department, and through the un-
remitting exertions of M. Ducos, the present
Minister of Marine, France will, when the orders
already given are executed, possess a more formid-
able navy than at any other period of her history.
She will have afloat before a year, according to
present arrangements, 50 ships of the line and
as many frigates, of which 15 are of the first class,
and most of them fitted with screws.

The Emperor received, on Wednesday, a letter
from Duke George of Saxe-Altenburg, notifying
the marriage of Prince Ernest of Saxe-Altenburg
with the Princes Agnes of Anhault-Dessau-Cothen ;
also a letter from Duke Ernest of Sax-Altenburg,
announcing the decease of Duke George of Saxe-
Altenburg, his father. In consequence of this
death the Emperor has decided to wear mourning
for two days.
Prince Jerome has taken up his residence at
Meudon.

Prince Eugene of Savoy-Carignan, cousin of the
King of Sardinia, has arrived in Paris.
It appears that the approaching journey of the
Emperor and Empress will not be a private one,
like that of Dieppe. In all the towns which their
Majesties will visit, the most extensive prepara-
tions are making to do honour to the illustrious
visitors.

The Moniteur promulgates the convention en-
tered into on the 23d February, 1853, between
France and the United States, to regulate the
rights, privileges, and immunities of consular
agents in the two countries.
An imperial decree in the Moniteur orders that
for the present, until a different decision shall have
been come to, the import duties on cattle and fresh
and salt meat shall be fixed as follows per head
Oxen and bulls, 3f. ; cows and heifers, If. ; calves,
sheep, pigs, and goats, 25c. ; lambs, kids, and
sucking-pigs, 10c.—Meat (per 100 kilogrammes)
fresh, 50c. ; salt, 10f.

The return of Admiral Romain Desfosses to
France is the result of the change in the command
of the French squadron stationed in the Archipe-
lago, which was announced some weeks since. M.
Desfosses, who has been promoted to the rank of
Vice-Admiral, has been replaced by M. le Barbier
de Tinan, and will return in the steamer which
carries out his successor.

The Municipal Council of the Seine decreed in
its sittings of Wednesday that the measure which
fixes the price of bread for Paris at 40c. per
kilogramme shall likewise apply to the communes
of the department of the Seine. The Prefect is
authorized to make to the bakers of Paris and of
the communes around it the advances necessary
to cover the difference between the cost price
and the price of 40 centimes per kilogramme.
This arrangement is to hold good from the Ist
of September.

When the Prefect of Police ordered that the
price of bread should be continued as for the
last fortnight in August, although, according
to the price of flour in the Paris market, there
should be an increase in the assize, the bakers
were informed that they would be indemnified
for the loss that they would sustain by this
order. It was supposed at the time that this
indemnity would be made as was done on a
similar intervention many years ago by keeping
up the assize when the price of flour would permit
a reduction until the loss of the bakers, by selling
under cost, should be covered. The Debats men-
tions a report in the corn market that this course
will not be adopted, and that the government has
made known its intention of paying the bakers in
a direct way the difference between the price of
flour and the price of bread as fixed by the order
of the Perfect.

The Constitutionnel states that at the sitting of
the Municipal Council yesterday a credit was voted
to supply the funds necessary for delivering bread
tickets at a reduced price to the poorer classes.
A meeting of the principal sugar manufacturers
of the department du Nord is to take place shortly
at Lille, for the purpose of drawing up an address
to the Emperor praying for the removal, or at least,
the reduction of the duties on the manufacture of
home sugar.
A Geneva journal states that MM. Perrier and
Delley, who had been condemned to banishment in
consequence of the outbreak at Friburgh, but who
had been detained in prison in order to give evi-
dence in the affairs at Bulle, have since been con-
ducted to the French frontier under escort of the
gendarmerie.

The Bourse was firm yesterday. A report pre-
vailed, which was credited by the speculators, to
the effect that the Emperor of Russia, whilst re-
fusing to accept the modifications of the Porte,
added that, if the Sultan would accept the Vienna,
Note purely and simply, he would forthwith eva-
cuate the Principalities. This fact, if true, would
leave the question still in the hands of the Confe•
rence at Vienna. The Three per Cents.opeued at
77f., fell to 76f. 75c., rose again to 77f. 15c., and
closed at 77f. for the end of the month. The Four-
and-a-Half per Cents, closed at 101 f. 60c. ; Orleans
Railway Shares, 1,222 f. 50c. ; Rouen, 1,050 f. ;
Havre, 505 f. ; Great Northern, 867 f. 50c. ; Paris
and Strasburg, 915 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 920 f. ;
Lyons to the Mediterranean, 762 f. 50c. ; Western
of France, 730 f. ; Bordeaux aud Cette, 612 f. 50c ;
Great Central, 525 f. ; Shares of the Bank of Credit
Mobilier, 780 f.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
The following is the latest telegraphic dis-
patch :

" TRIESTE, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. U.
" The Lloyd steamer has just arrived, with news
from Constantinople to the sth Sept.
" No change has taken place in the position of
affairs.

" The armaments are actively continued.
" A portion of the Eyptian troops have left for
Varna. Great mortality had prevailed among
them.

" Admiral Desfosses has returned to France.
" Sickness prevailed among the seamen of the
two fleets.

" The English admiral has concluded contracts
for supplies of coal.
" Some brawls had taken place between French
sailors and the Turks. The fanaticism of the
latter was increasing."

From Kalisch, Sept. 7, we learn, Poland is per-
fectly tranquil. Large bodies of troops are being
concentrated on the Moldavian frontier. This fact
is not considered alarming, since Turkey continues
her armaments, and since the Ottoman army on
the Danube is superior, in point of numbers, to
the Russian army in the Principalities.
The German Journal of Frankfort has the fol-
lowing from Smyrna, 31st ult. :—" Almost all the
troops coming from Asia, from 60,000 to 80,000 in
number, have passed through this city ; they are
filled with the most warlike enthusiasm. As to
the inhabitants, they are at this moment animated
with such a spirit that the Sultan would lose his
life and his throne if he were to accept humiliating
conditions. The fleets in Besika Bay are constantly
receiving reinforcements, and at the same time
accounts from the Danubian Principalities state
that the Russians are making preparations for win-
tering there. Ismael Paela, our governor, is
using every possible effort to re-establish public
tranquillity, which has unfortunately been lately
than
much disturbed. It is reported that more
1,500 muskets have been found concealedor in the
Greek hospital."
