FRANCE,

BounsE, May 30.—A considerable change has
taken place in the aspect of the Bourse to-day, the
firmness and activity remarkable during the past
few days having given way to a feeling of languor
which has caused an adverse movement in nearly
all the principal Securities. The importance of
yesterday's intelligence from Mexico also appears to
have been more fully realised in monetary circles—
the Stock of the Old Loan having receded to 471,
and that of the New to 327 f. Threes, for the Ac-
count, have been 67f. 25c., and Italian Loan at
66f. 15c. Transactions in the Shares of the Credit
Mobilier have taken place at 761 f. 25c. The marke
closed as follows
41- per Cents 95 50

TURKEY.
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 22.

The submission of the Taurus chiefs turns out to
have been a feint, either to gain time for measures
of resistance, or to delay the proposed expedition
till the sweltering heats of July and August should
have rendered any effective operations impossible.
The two Derebeys who were to have come to the
capital a month ago to tender their subjection and
receive investiture from the Porte, have made no
sign of doing so, and information from the neigh-
bouring pashalic of Adama, making it clear that
nothing of the kind was really intended, the Go-
vernment has lost no time in sending off the first
detachments of the expeditionary force on the scale
originally proposed. On Friday last Dervish Pasha
and Djerided Effendi, respectively the Commander-
in-Chief of the force and thelmperial Commissioner
to be attached to it, had their audience of the Sul-
tan, and sailed the following afternoon for Alex-
andretta on board a screw liner, accompanied
by a couple of heavy frigates and two corvettes,
carrying the quota of troops furnished to the expe-
dition by the army of the capital. Another frigate
has at the same time been telegraphed to proceed
from Alexandria to Candia to embark two bat-
talions from the garrison of that island. With the
detachments to be supplied from Aleppo the whole
" regular" strength of the force will thus be raised
to 15,000 men, exclusive of 2,000 Bashi-bazouks
furnished from Erzingham. With such a force it
can hardly be doubted that a month or six weeks'
campaign will bring the recalcritant Derebeys effec-
tually to'their senses.
Abd-el-Kader continues to be the object of the
most flattering attention on the part of the Sultan
and the Government generally. On Wednesday
last the Grand Vizier personally carried to hina the
decoration of the first class of the Oswaine, with
the large star in brillian's. This is the very highest
class of the order, which is itself the highest in
Turkey, and, besides the Sultan himself, is only
worn by two or three of the chief dignitaries of the
Empire.
During the past ten days the Emir has paid re-
peated visits to all the legations, except those of
Austria and Spain, as also the local agency of the
Pope. These three Governments are, it is said,
the only ones in Europe which does not express
gratitude for his protecting services to the Christians
during the Damascus massacres, and he accordingly
now repays their neglect in kind. He is remain
here for another six weeks, when he will proceed.to
Paris in accordance with the invitation of the

Emperor.
A negotiation is spoken of between Mr. Laing
and the Ottoman Societe Generale, which is likely
to result in the latter taking part in the forthcoming
conversion of the home debt. Though the Ottoman
bank is a large constituent of the Societe its antago-
nism to the measure is said not to be shared by the
chief local members of the latter Company, whose
estimate of the scheme, it is alleged, differs widely
from that expressed in the pamphlet put
forth by the Paris and London boards of the bank.
The adherence of the Societe to the measure would
effectually insure at least its loca: success.

Sir Henry Bulwer's trip to the Suez Canal has,
it seems, convinced him that as a mere matter of
construction the work is quite practicable, but at the
same time his opinion as to the political impolicy,
if not actual peril, of permitting M. Lesseps to carry
out his little game in the collateral—but really most
important—matters of the fresh water canals and
the belts of territory claimed by the Compagmie
Universelle has deepened into a conviction
that for the sake of the Porte and of
all other interests concerned—except those of
M. Lesseps, and those whose work he is doing—
prompt and resolute action should be taken. Such
