The Norddentsch Zeitung of to-day says :—‘, We

FRANCE.
PARIS, SEPT. 7.
The Emperor, the Empress, and the Prince Im-
perial, left here yesterday morning for Biarritz.
The Minister of Agriculture has addressed a re-
port to the Emperor upon the English cattle plague,
and in consequence of this report an Imperial de-
cree has been issued, absolutely forbidding, firstly,
the introduction into, or the transit through, France
of oxen and cows, as well as the fresh hides or other
portions of those animals arriving at ports along
the coast, from Nantes to Dunkirk, and across the
northern frontier, from the sea to the Rhine.
Secondly, the introduction or transit of the same
animals arriving from England, Belgium, or Hol-
land, at any ports cr Customs-houses of the Em-
pire. Thirdly, it is ordered that at other ports or
Customs-houses than those specified in Art. Ist,
animals of the bovine species not arriving from
England, Belgium, or Holland, shall be subjected
to an inspection previous to entering the country.
The Is'loniteur du Soir publishes the following :
" The imperial squadron has returned, in Eng-
land, the visit paid to France by the British fleet,
and has experienced at Portsmouth a reception
worthy of that which the English flag had received
at Cherbourg and Brest. On both sides of the
Channel the fetes have furnished the opportunity
of the most sympathetic manifestations. We are
happy to notice at once the courtesy of the Queen's
Government, the cordiality of the people, and the
friendly language of the English press. The Em-
peror's Government is not the first administration
in France which has wished, to keep up relations of
confidence and friendship with the Cabinet of Lon-
don. First the alliance, and subsequently the cor-
dial agreement, were objects constantly pursued
throughout the late reign ; but it was reserved
for the Imperial policy to realise that idea, in ren-
dering it fruitful to the two nations, and to Europe
itself. It is this that the English journals have
taken pleasure in acknowledging with rare unani-
mity.
" The good relations of France and England are
founded upon mutual interests. There exists at all
times between them a further tie in the conformity
of their principles in matters of public law. Thus,
guided by generous emulation, they rivalled one
another in disinterestedness to insure the indepen-
dence of the Ottoman Empire. Thus, also, after
having seen France fight for the liberation of Italy,
England determined no longer to retain the lonian
Islands, and consented that, in accordance with
their own wishes, they should be restored to the
centre of their nationality."

BOURSE, Sept 6.—Two o'clock.—The tone of the
market has greatly improved. Threes, for the Ac-
count, have advanced 10c., and are doing at 69fr.
25c., and Italian Fives at 66fr. 40c., showing an
advance of 20c. Credit Mobilier Shares have im-
proved 10fr., and are now quoted at 816 fr. 25c.,
and Spanish Mobiliers sfr.—to 511 fr. 25c. The
most noticeable feature is the upward movement of
Lombard Shares, so repudiated of late, these shares
having obtained an advance of 3fr. 75c.—viz., to
455 fr. The demand for them is very great in the
cash market, where a great financial house is said to
be buying them up. Credit Foncier Shares are
offered, owing to heavy realisations. New City
Bonds have declined to 471 fr. 25c. Three o'clock.
—The market again became weaker towards the
end, and closed with the

ITALY.

FLORENCE, Sept. 3.

The Nazione states that the report upon the reli-
gious bodies in Italy, which is to precede the bill for
theirsuppression, already prepared, will be published
next week.

The Prefect of Ancona has written to the 58
prefects of Italy, inviting the public charitable esta-
blishments throughout the provinces to each take
charge of an orphan boy and girl whose parents
have been carried off by cholera : 14 of these esta-
blishments have already replied to the appeal, and
some even wish to take double the number of
children proposed.
The Opinione positively contradicts the report
that Signor Ferraccia, deputy for Sassari, has been
nominated Minister of Public Instruction.

PORTUGAL•

LISBON, Sept. 1.

As the constitutional charter establishes that the
King cannot leave the kingdom without the autho-
risation of Parliament, the Government on the 31st
ult. brought in a bill to grant leave to his Majesty
to travel, declaring that it was his intention
to visit several foreign courts. When this autho-
rity had been unanimously voted, the President
of the Council, the Marquis de Sada Bandeira,
rose to announce that the Cabinet had that day
tendered its resignation, which the King had ac-
cepted. The Marquis could not say whom the
King would depute to form a new Cabinet. As it
was not possible to govern without a sufficient majo•
rity, the Ministry were compelled to take this step.
" With respect to my colleagues and myself, as well
as our political friends," added the Minister, " I
now state that we shall raise no obstacle to the
Cabinet succeeding us in order that it may carry on
the Government in 'the interests of the country."

DUBLIN, Sept. 6.—Sir,—The best way to put
down Fenianism is to show the power of England
to the unfortunate dupes by a visit of the ironclads to
Dublin, Belfast, Cork, and Galway Bays. The Fenians of
each province would see what they have to cope with.
There would be no extra expense to the country, as tho
fleet might as well be in Irish waters as lying up in Pores,
mouth. Such a visit would increase a desire to serve in
the navy among the rising generation.—From a Carre-
-1 pondent.
