LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

FRANCE.

It is said that' whatever may be the issue of the
present Eastern question, it is here pretty gene-
rally understood that the Emperor Louis Napoleon
will not go to war. He is reported to have ex-
pressed himself to that effect very recently. The
particular reasons for that resolution are the defi-
ciency of the harvest, the probability of the invasion
of France by an enemy (which is not to be despised
or disregarded), the cholera, and the amount of
paper now in the market in consequence of the
numerous speculations to which a certain degree of
prosperity has given rise. All these ohjects are
with him of first-rate interest, and demand the
almost exclusive attention and care of the Govern-
ment.

Tho Moniteur announces the termination of the
ad interim administration of the Ministry of the
Interior by M. Abbatucci, the Minister of Justice,
and the resumption of his functions by M. de Per-
signy.

The Itioniteur publishes the returns of the re-
ceipts of the Customs duties and Indirect taxes
for last month, which amount to 12,368,937 f., being
an increase of 451,545 fr. over the corresponding
period of 1852, and of 1,113,709 fr. over that of
1851. The total receipts for the first eight months
of the present year amount to 90,613,579 fr., being
a decrease of 1,295,195 fr. as compared with the
corresponding period of 1852, and an increase of
14,207,251 fr. over 1851.

The news of the harvest in Brittany is favour-
able. The Brest paper, l' Armoricain, states that
the fall in the price of corn has made considerable
progress in the course of the last eight days.
The Prefect of the Haute Vienne has suspended
the mairs of St. Brabant for promulgating a decree
prohibiting the export of corn from his district.
The papers announce the death of General Voirol,
who was Governor of Strasburg in 1836, when
Louis Napoleon landed in that town.
The intelligence received up to Monday night of
the state of the passengers who were injured in the
late accident on the Orleans to Bordeaux Railway,
declares that no further death has taken place ; all
going on favourably.
Accounts which have reached the Minister of Ma-
rine from the Islands of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon
announce that the anniversary of the fete of the
Emperor on the 15th was celebrated with the
greatest éclat. The Commandant of the colony con-
cludes his dispatch to the Minister with these
words—" Of all the national fetes which have been
celebrated here for the last thirty years no one has
caused such a deep impression on the public mind
as that of St. Napoleon this year."
The Bourse opened firm yesterday, with the ap-
pearance of a further rise in the price of public se-
curities, but the announcement by submarine tele-
graph that Consols had declined, and that-flour had
risen in London, produced a re-action, and the
Three per .Cents., which opened at 77f. 35c., fell to
77f. 5c., and closed at 77f. 10c. for the end of the
month. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at
