In virtue of a decision of the Minister of Finance
the interest on Treasury Bonds is fixed as follows,
after the 12th of September per cent. on
bonds of from three to five months' date ; 3 per
cent. on bonds of from six to eleven months ; and
31 per cent. on bonds of one year.
The ilfoititeur publishes an Imperial decree pro-
visionally exempting foreign vessels importing iron
ores into France from the payment of the sur-
charge required by the decree of the 17th March,
1853, from foreign vessels laden with ores of every
description,
During his residence at Dieppe, the Emperor
appointed a Commission to examinee
d submit to
him the improvements of whit: tharbour was

proposed by that Commission, am.. ordered the
works to be immediately commenced. They are to

On the 29th June last, James Thorpe, n
the English fishing sloop Wilberforce, saved and
landed at Hull the crew of the brig La Francois:',
of Agde, whom he met at sea just as the vessel was
sinking. Wishing to reward the generous conduct
of that seaman, the Emperor, by a decree of the
27th August last, has granted him a silver medal
of honour of the first class.
The ball offered to the Emperor and the Empress
on Thursday night at Dieppe was given in the
theatre. In front of the stage a throne was erected,
under a canopy of crimson velvet and gold, the
whole being surmounted with a gilt eagle. On the
white satin which covered the back of the Imperial
seats were to be seen the initials E. N. The pit
was boarded over and the whole house was orna-
mented with flowers, draperies, mirrors, and thou-
sands of lights. The company had already assem-
bled, when about nine o'clock cries of " Vive l'Em-
pereur" from the outside announced the arrival of
their Majesties. A similar greeting awaited them
within the house, as they took their places in the
chairs of state. The Emperor was in the dress of
a general of the army, and the Empress was simply
dressed in white. Their Majesties were received
at the entrance to the theatre by the Mayor and
Municipal Council. All the public functionaries
and the officers of the Imperial household were in
full uniform. Dancing commenced immediately
after the arrival of their Majesties, the Emperor
taking for partner Mme. Sellier, the wife of the
Mayor, and her husband dancing with the Em-
press. Their Majesties afterwards walked several
times round the theatre, and withdrew about
eleven o'clock. Dancing was continued with un-
abated spirit afterwards, until about four in the
morning.
The Emperor and Empress left Dieppe at two
o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and arrived at St.
Cloud at six. Their Majesties were said to be in
excellent health.
" It is stated," says the Patric, " that a grand
fete will take place ix the camp at Satory on the
16th inst., being the day of Sainte Eugenie."
The Debats of Saturday says that on September
3, when the last news was received from St. Peters-
burgh, no one then knew what would be the deci-
sion of the Emperor Nicholas relative to the modi-
fications which the Porte had made in the proposi-
tion prepared at Vienna, and which Russia had
accepted. It adds, however, that this is not extra-
ordinary, as the dispatches stating whether the
Emperor Nicholas adheres to the modifications or
refuses them would most likely not be sent to
Vienna, Paris, and London until Saturday, the
10th, when the ordinary packet leaves St. Peters-
burgh with letters. That vessel will arrive at
Stettin on Tuesday next, the 13th ; but it
is not impossible that the intelligence brought
by that vessel will be anticipated by ex-
traordinary couriers or by the electric telegraph.
As to the state of feeling on the subject at St.
Petersburg and Vienna, at the date of the last
advices, the same journal says :—" In general,
regret was felt that the Porte had not given its
unmodified adhesion to the proposition sent in,
because that course would have had the advantage
of at once closing the incident, which the proposed
modifications will prolong and perhaps complicate.
The persons who anticipate the refusal of the
Emperor Nicholas, form their opinion on the cir-
cumstance that that Sovereign, when he informed
the Cabinet of Vienna of his acceptance to the
note, declared formally that if the Porte did not
give its unmodified consent without any alteration
whatever, his adhesion to the proposition must be
considered as not to have been given. But, on the
other hand, it is. observed that the modifications
proposed by the Porte are not of any real import-
ance ; and since the Emperor Nicholas has ad-
mitted the good offices of Austria, who acts in
concert with England, France, and Prussia, it
appears unlikely that he will, by a refusal, lead to
new and grave complications. However, the
Cabinet of Vienna, even in receiving the refusal of
the Emperor, will undoubtedly not renounce the
employment of diplomatic means. Although the
basis of the negotiation are no longer absolutely
the same, we are of opinion that the negotiation
will not be broken of, and we persist in believing
in a pacific solution of the question."
