FRANCE.

The Emperor and Empress are to return from
Fontainebleau to Paris on the Ist of December.
Yesterday the Emperor reviewed the troops of the
garrison of Fontainebleau, Melun, and other ad-
joining towns. The neighbouring brigades of
gendarmerie were also present at the review.

The circular of the Prefect of Police prescribing
sanitary measures is very actively carried out. It
is stated that several cases of cholera have already
occurred in some of the hospitals, and a few in
private houses. There does not, however, appear
to be much alarm on the subject.
On Saturday Vely Pasha went to Fontainebleau
on the Emperor's invitation.
The formation of the battalions of Chassem•s, an-
nounced in our edition of Saturday, is not the only
measure that will be adopted in case of emergency.
There is no ostensible movement at the War-office,
or in the military establishments of France, that
would attract public attention, but the moment
that the requirements of the service render any
additional measure necessary, there would be an
addition of one battalion to each of the regiments
of the line. The plan is already formed ; and, if
the hostilities of which the Danube is the theatre
take any further extension, the French Govern-
ment will not be unprepared for any emergency
that may arise. It is considered that the Porte is,
under present circumstances, no longer bound by
those motives of delicacy or forbearance it has
hitherto observed, and which have prevented it
from employing in its service all the elements at
its disposal • and we are informed that it has been
stated on the part of the French Government, and
perhaps on that of England, that there does not
now exist any serious opposition to accepting the
services of the Poles. There are, however, a few
exceptions still, no doubt, to save the amour propre

of one Power whose conduct has been hitherto of
an equivocal character. Some Polish officers of
distinction have already taken service in Turkey.
The ilonitear announces that the Minister of
the Emperor at Hamburg exchanged on the Bth
with the plenipotentiary of the Grand Duke of
Oldenburg, the ratifications of the convention for
the protection of literary and artistic property con-
cluded between France and Oldenburg on the Ist
July last.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The country markets held on Saturday were firm for
wheat, the prices of which had an upward tendency. Bar-
ley and malt were very dull, and drooping. Oats, beans,
peas, and flour, the supplies of which were tolerably good,
sold steadily, at extreme rates.
The last advices from New York state that both wheat
and flour were dull, and lower to purchase. Most of the
continental markets have ruled steady, and the quotations
have been fairly supported.
Fresh up to our market last week the arrivals of English
grain were somewhat on the increase. The imports from
abroad have amounted to 34,582 quarters of wheat, 7,637
barley, 13,744 oats, 2,839 beans, 2,720 peas, 446 tares,
5,533 linseed, 2,271 rapeseed, 183 mustard seed, 273 sun-
dry seeds, 2,160 sacks and 11,133 barrels of flour.
Fresh up, this morning, the arrivals of English wheat,
coastwise, were very moderate, and greatly out of condi-
tion. By laud carriage the supply was comparatively
small. Notwithstanding that the show of samples of both
red and white was limited, the demand for all kinds, owing
to the thin attendance of buyers, and the large imports of
foreign wheat and flour, was in a very inactive state, at
prices barely equal to those obtained on Monday last. In
some iustances, very damp parcels were the turn in favour
of buyers. For forward delivery next to nothing was
doing.
With foreign wheat we were rather extensively supplied,
The transactions in red Baltic qualities were at full prices.
All other kinds moved off slowly, at last week's currency.
The arrival of floating cargoes off the coast continues
small. Very few transactions were reported in them ;
but no change took place in the quotations.
We had a large quantity of barley on offer. The trade
ruled very dull, at a decline in prices of is to, in some in-
stances, 2s per quarter.
The demand for malt was dull, at is per quarter less
money. The show was good.
There was an extensive supply of oats on the market,
sales progressed slowly, at Gd per quarter less money.
Beans were in good supply,
full prices. White peas were is lower. Grey and maple
were quite as dear as last week. and moderate request, at
The flour trade was dull, and American parcels were
offering on rather lower terms.

The Empress has given 6,000 f. to the Sisters of
the Order of Saint Vincent de Paul at Fontaine-
bleau, for the repairs of the chapel of their hospital.
In Paris on Saturday there was a repetition, if
not a confirmation, of the intelligence, communi-
cated a day or two since, of the order sent to Omer
Pasha to continue his operations wheresoever he
may deem them most likely to be successful. It is
said that his movement behind the Danube has
been approved by his Government, who aro con-
vinced that his retreat was necessitated by the con-
centration of the Russian force near Oltenitza.
That movement, not anticipated by the Russians,
appears to have baffled the plans of Prince Gorts-
chakotr, and had forced him to adopt a new com- '
bination.

For several days past accounts, rather contradic-
tory, have been in circulation in Paris of an armis-
tice, and of the continuation of hostilities. That
contradiction may, however, be understood by the
fact that there is no objection to negotiate, even
though hostilities should not have ceased ; but
there is another fact which, though not accurate in
every particular, may yet be so in substance, and
this is the existence of a new project of arrange-
ment. It is stated that this new project has been
very recently adopted at Fontainebleau with tho
concurrence of Austria and England ; that it is
approved by Austria, England, and France ; that
Austria pledges herself to use all her influence with
Russia to accept it ; that if the Czar still holds out
Austria will make common cause with the other
Powers ; and that if he consent to accept it France
and England pledge themselves to render it ac-
ceptable to the Porte. It is even said that an
Austrian agent furnished with full powers has been
in Paris for some days past, and that he left for
Vienna on Friday night. The project in ques-
tion is said to be of such a nature as cannot be ob-
jected to by Russia, unless her intention be, what
she has hitherto repudiated—namely, the flagrant
and systematic disregard of all treaties and all in-
ternational law ; while by it the independence and
integrity of Turkey will not be impaired. The
plan must be, and doubtless is, one which will
accurately define the limits between what is en-
croaching and unjust, and what Russia has a right
to demand.
Public securities again rose at the Bourse on
Saturday, the speculators still feeling convinced
that the English and French Governments will
force the belligerents to accept terms. The Three
per Cents. opened at 74f. 50c., and rose to 74f.
80c. ; they closed at 74f. 75c. for the end of the
month ; the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. left off at
