are fortunately men who prefer peace to civil war. But
civil war would be the inevitable consequence of the
division of citizens into two parties nearly equal in
number, if there were not beta een them some means of
arrangement, if there were not a number of acts in which
the co-operation of the two parties wonld be as advan-
tageous to the one as to the other. We shall conse
quently be menaced with civil war as long as the prudent
men of these two parties. as long us the Government,
in particular, which ought to be the representative of
that o.inciliatory prudence, shall not place themselves on
the ground of measures of common interest, measures
prOpta to give to some the (mph)) went and comfort
which fail them, and to others the confidence and se-
curity
of which they sre also deprived."
For the sake of France we hope the advice of the
Credit will he adopted. Never was any time more
opportune than the present for carrying out the pro-
gramme of conciliation presented to the Assembly by
the PRESIDENT of the Republic immediately after his
election.
The tjnivers, the organ of the Jesuits, publishes the
following letter from Marseilles, dated July 9 : •
" I am informed that diplomatic negotiations are
going on in such a mannr that the Pope has every
reason to he satisfied. It is believed that his Holini-ss
will immediately send a Gov,rt,mental Commission to
Rome. It is sad that Pit.t IX. will go to Naples to
personally thank King F. ritinand for his generous hos-
pitality. It is positively stated that his Holiness will
afterwards go to Benevento, and that his intention is to
wait in that place until the Commission has vstabli.hed
a little order in affairs at Rome. If that should occasion
too long a delay, the Pope will repair to Bologna, and
remain there until the moment when he shall think it
advisable to return to his capital."
The same journal publishes the following from
Gaeta, of the 4th :
" This morning, about noon. a Colonel of Engineers
arrived here from the French camp, to present to the
Pope the keys of the two gates by which the French
troops entered Rome."

The influx of specie into Paris is nearly 4,000,000
francs greater than last account, hut less by
2,500,000 in the branches. The portfolio, er dis
count of bills account, has fallen upwards of
1,000,000 on Paris, but only about 300,000 francs
in the branches. Prohibited bills not much varied
There are less bank notes out in Paris by upwards of
1.500,000, but an increase in the promises to the
same extent. The credit to the Treasury has
increased upwards of 7,000,000. Private accounts
have fallen '2.000,000 in Paris, and increased as much
in the provinces. The general result shows that it is
Paris which fiels the greatest weight of the present
commercial pressure.

BADEN.

The fortress of Rasta* still holds out. The
Cologne Gazette of the 12th publishes the following
from Carlaruhe of the 9th :
" The bombardment of liastadt continued throughout
the whole night. The besieged made an unsuecesstul
sortie, but were driven back with great loss. The heat
is intense, and this, added to the continued exertions of
the troops, has brought on much sickness and lever in
the camp. Many fever pati,nts are e4rried to Cads-
ruhe. 'The PHs ce of Prussia is exceedingly kind and
considerate to the sick, and has been several lanes round
to visit them and itiquir., into their state. There is a❑
a,!niirable spirit scow g them. The 131 den deserters who
te7urm d to the camp are mutinous, arid re quire sharp
dealing to keep them in anyilung like order. Great
distress from want of provisions prevailed in the .for-
trrsq."

The besieged having kept up a fire on the village
of I.N-eederbokl, situated about a quarter of a league
from Rastadt, have nearly destroyed it. The church
and a number of houses have been burned down.
