PARIS, FRIDAY EVMTING.
The following despatch has been received :
" Marseilles, Nov. 30 (Evening).—The Nil, bringing
advices from Constantinople to the 20th, has been driven
by stress of weather into Antibes. It will arrive to-night
or to-morrow morning. The steam-frigates Emu and
Candia sail to-night. Sympathising crowds attended to
witness the embarkation of the troops. Three more
English steamers will speedily follow. The weather has
cleared up. The despatch forbidding exportation has
caused a decline of 2f. 50c. per hectolitre in dry African
wheat for delivery."

The Emperor and Empress have quitted St
Cloud and taken up their residence at the Tuilerie
for the winter.

We read in the Moniteur :—" By an Imperial
decision signed at the Palace of Saint Cloud on the
29th ult., on the proposition of the Minister of
the Marine, the provisions of the decree of the 22d
ult., which confer on the General-in-Chief of the
army of the East the power of naming provision-
ally to vacancies up to the rank of chef de batal-
lon inclusively, are extended to the marines and
marine artillery forming part of that army, under
the reserve that these nominations, like those in
the land forces, are not to become definitive until
they have been submitted by the Minister of the
Marine to the Imperial sanction."
Admiral Perceval Deschenes, accompanied by
his staff, and by the Abbe Coquereau, Chaplain of
the Baltic fleet, arrived in Paris yesterday from
Cherbourg via Havre.

NIONEY MARKET

t:~.~,

COMMERCIAL INT ELL ENCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 6,000 bales, including- 1,000 taken for
export and on speculation. The market was flat,
without change in prices. Railway Shares were
dull.

The official returns relating to trade and navi-
gation for the month, and ten months ending Nov.
5, 1854, have been issued. From these it appears
that the total declared value of the enumerated
exports from the United Kingdom, for the month
was 5,57'4,868/., being a decrease of 593,1581., as
compared with that of those shipped in the same
period of last year. For the 10 months there ap-
pears an augmentation over those of 1853,
to the same date, of 146,3111. in the value
of articles exported. The month's exports were
larger of linen yarn and woollen yarn, but a de-
crease is perceptible in cotton manufactures, cotton
yarn, earthenware, haberdashery and millinery,
hardwares and cutlery, linen manufactures, machi-
nery, metals, silk manufactures, thrown silk, and
woollen manufactures. The imports in the same
time were more extensive of coffee, cochineal,
guano, mahogany, cinnamon, cloves, pimento,
rum, and unrefined sugar, but less of cocoa,
wheat, barley, oats, Indian corn, flour, flax,
hemp, currants, provisions, rice, saltpetre, raw
silk, cassia lignea, brandy, Geneva, tallow,
tea, tobacco, cotton wool, and lambs' and sheep's
wool.

The shipping accounts exhibit a decrease in the
amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade
of the United Kingdom for the month of 86,566
tons for the entries inwards, and of 28,307 tons in
the clearances outwards.

In the coasting trade for the month there was a
falling off in the tonnage engaged for the entries,
but a slight augmentation in the clearances.
The Bank of England return for the week to the
25th ult. is more satisfactory, the discounts having
fallen off slightly, while the bullion increases. The
Government Deposit Account is also improving.
The changes compared with the previous week were
as follows :

Active circulation 219,749,975

There was greater firmness yesterday afternoon
in the rates for foreign bills of exchange drawn
here. Paris, 90 days, realised 25 321 to 371,
Amsterdam 11 17± to 172, Hamburg 13 52 to 61,
Frankfort 118 to 1181, and Trieste 12 42 to 47.
The shipments of gold direct from London during
the week to Thursday last comprised 576,593 ounces
of silver and 818 ounces of gold—all to the con-
tinent.

The Funds have improved upon the statement
that Austria has joined the Allies, and Consols
have been as high as 92k f, after opening at 91/
and 92. There is, however, not much doing.
Bank stock is dull at 209, and India Stock firm at
233 to 234. Exchequer Bills continue at 3s. to Gs.
premium.

The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have
received accounts to November Ist. The insur-
rection continued, and there was not much pro-
spect of the Bondholders receiving a further appro-
priation out of the indemnity money. The remit-
tance for the dividend is 36,000 dollars, and there
were 15,415 dollars ready in Tampico.
In the Foreign Market Turkish Scrip is improv-
ing, having been done at 6t discount. Spanish
3 per Cents. are 37k. Dutch 4 per Cents. are 901
to

The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5i to 5i ; Mexi-
can, 214 to 21i ; Peruvian, 67 to 69 ; ditto
3 per Cents., 47 to 49 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents.,

18k to 18i ; ditto 3 per Cents., 37i to 38± ; ditto
Certificates, 5k to 51 ; ditto Passive, 4, to 4i.
There is more firmness in the Railway Share
Market, and the prices tend upwards, but the
amount of business doing is limited. The French
Shares are generally about ss. higher.
The Mining Shares are very dull, and also those
of the Joint stook Banks.

Australian Agricultural Land Shares are ad•
vanced, and also the South Australian Land.

THE "ADDITIONAL ARTICLE." I tio
20

Some of the German papers have announced
that Austria and Prussia signed an additional
article to the treaty of the 20th of April. A trans-
lation of the text of this important document is
as follows

" ADDITIONAL ARTICLE TO THE TREATY OF THE 20TH OF
APRIL, 1854, BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA."
" The continued threatening state of the affairs of
Europe has induced the high Courts of Vienna and
Berlin to consider the necessity of an understanding
proper to complete the provisions of the treaty of the
20th of April.
"The high Sovereigns have coincided in this considera-
tion that in as far as regards the treaty of the 20th of
April, extended by the federal decision of the 24th of
July, it is above all things necessary to act in common,
in order to bring about the acceptation by the Diet of a
basis for the future negotiations of peace—a basis which
would bo recognised by them as a proper one.
"They acknowledge that such a basis is to be found
in the four preliminary points, in favour of the adoption
of which Austria and Prussia have already interfered
with the Court of Russia ; and they will endeavour, ac-
cording to circumstances, to procure for that basis a
favourable reception. Although the hope of advancing
towards a pacific understanding depends on the adop-
tion of that basis, the general situation of Europe, and
the necessity of pursuing the object of peace with
more force, requires that the whole of Germany
should act with union. Guided by that idea, and
appreciating all the dangers which might result for
Germany from an attack against the Austrian troops, not
only if the Russians entered into the Austrian territories,
but also into the principalities, his Majesty the King of
Prussia takes, by these presents, with regard to his august
ally his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, the engage-
ment of giving him assistance, even in this last case; and
he reckons that the other members of the German Con-
federation will also testify, and will prove, in case of
necessity, by their acceptance of the present additional
article, the same anxiety to offer assistance to Austria.

DISASTERS IN THE BLACK SEA.—An impression is 166
understood to exist at the Admiralty that the disasters
in the Black Sea during the night of the 14th of Novem- 20
ber, although very severe, will not prove to have been 50
so great as the vaguely-worded telegraphic despatch 20
published on the subject would seem to indicate. 25
ALTEN MINING COMPANY.—At a meeting of the
Alien mining Compa, y yesterday, it was stated that 100
n
the profit on the years operations is-about 2,5001., equal 10
to 10s. per share. The return would, have been greater 5
but for the increased price of coals and other materials. r
On the arrival of the remainder of the ore in England
arrangements will be made for a distribution. The
balance of assets in London and Alien is about 12,00/.
