FRANCE.

The credit of the amnesty is entirely due to the
President of the Republic who, had he followed his
original intentions, would have granted it without
making a single exception. At eleven o'clock on
Sunday night he summoned to the Ely see the Cabinet
Ministers, together with M. Victor Foucl.e, the
Procureur of the Republic. He informed them briefly,
but decidedly, that, after due consideration of the
subject, he had come to the determination of grant-
ing their liberty to the ,whole of the prisoners of
1
Belle Isle, amounting to
,200, and who, it will be re-
membered, were confined there in consequence of their
participation in the terrible and most sanguinary in-
surrection of June, 1848. The Ministers looked dis-
mayed at the announcement of so bold a design. They
prayed him to examine the question still more carefully,
and to weigh well the danger to society at large by
letting loose so many desperate men. Louis Napo-
leon replied that he had already long and carefully
considered the subject. He was convinced that no
danger was to be apprehended from them ; and he
further said that his convictions perfectly agreed
with those of the Prefect of Police, who had assured
him that not the slightest peril would result to Paris
or any other place from the liberation of these men ;
and that, above all, he (M. Carlier) stated that he was
ready to answer with his head for the tranquillity of
the capital. The Ministers were encouraged by a de-
claration made in such terms, and on such grounds;
they yet suggested to the President that amongst the
men at Belle Isle there were many whoseperversity and
whose hardness in crime were such that they would not
only refuse with contemptuous arrogance the pardon
offered them, but would even demand compensation
for what they affected to believe were the wrongs
inflicted on them. There were also amongst the
number many who were not guilty merely of political
offences, but whose previous career had been one of
crime against society at large—offenders who availed
themselves of insurrection merely to gratify the lust
of rapine and of murder. They intreated him at all
events to make a selection. The President could not
be heedless, of these suggestions. He, therefore,
consented to the exceptions demanded; and, assisted
by the Ministers, the Procureur of the Republic, and
the Prefect of Police, passed nearly the whole of the
night in examining the characters of the numerous
prisoners whose names filled the lists.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Kelner Zeitung has letters from Kiel of the
Bth instant, stating that the Schleswig-Holstein Diet
have treated the question of the war with Denmark
in a secret committee, and that energetic proceedings
were resolved on.

The Prussian General, Hahn, passed Flensburg on
,he 6th inst., on his way to the north.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
Vienna letters of the Bth instant, is the Kolner
Zeitung, state that no less than fifteen of the Hunga-
rian prisoners, at Arad, have again been sentenced
to death, and that the executions were to take place
in the course of the next week. General Haynau
has informed the Jews of Pesth thit unless
a contribution of 200,000 florins (about 18,0001.) be
paid within 48 hours, he intends to adopt violent
means to insure obedience to his commands. We
find it stated in the German papers that the chief
reason why the Jews of Pesth have not yet paid the
contribution is because they are utterly impoverished,
and unable to raise so large a sum.
There is no likelihood of the state of siege at Vienna
being raised.

STATE OF TRADE.
From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The sympathy that ex
ists betwixt the cotton and the yarn markets is stil
sufficient to render a notice of the former quite requi-
site, in connexion with any account of the latter.
It has been expected that on the arrival of the Boston
steamer we should hear of a further rise in prices at
New York, consequent on the receipt of intelligence
as to the buoyancy of the Liverpool market a month
ago. The effect of such expected information was,
in a considerable degree, anticipated in the latter
half of last week, when both spinners and
speculators operated so freely in the Liverpool
market as to add nearly fd. per lb. to the value
of the current qualities of American, and id. to that
of other descriptions ; while, in this market, rather
higher prices were paid for yarns to the extent of the
business effected, which, however, was but limited.
When advices came to hand this morning, showing
that no further rise of consequence had taken place on
the other side; and when it became known that only
a limited, thottgli steady, business was doing in Liver-
pool, the character of our market was decided for the
day ; a general quietness was observable; a fair yet by
no means a large amount of business was transacted,
and prices continued decidedly firm, marked, indeed,
by a still upward inclination, particularly in the finer
numbers. The operations in goods have been on a
very restricted scale; and any required advance of
price has proved a greater hindrance to business in
this department than in that of yarns. There con-
tinues to be a good demand for printing cloths of
various descriptions from a 66 reed downward, and
previous quotations are fully maintained. The home
dealers are purchasing stout domestics with rather
more freedom at the rates of last week ; but the
dulness of long-cloths and T's is in no degree
diminished. Madapollams go off with ease, and'
prices are hardening. The makers of 40-inch shirt-
ings still find a difficulty in disposing of their pro-
duction.

ROC lIDALE, MONDAY.—There seems but little
change in the flannel market to day from that of the
preceding week ; prices are much the same, and the
demand is good. The wool market is quiet, and the
manufacturers buy sparingly at former prices.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The throwing trade of
this town continues tolerably steady, the foreign de-
mand having for some time helped off surplus stock to
a considerable extent; and this has caused the hands
to be well employed in this branch. With regard to
the manufacturing interest, there is complaint in some
branches of the business. Those houses which are
producing an article for shippers are reported to be
very brisk; this also applies to the piece-goods trade
generally. The stocks of goods on hand are. reported
comparatively light, and the buyers are looking about
to come in at old prices, which, in many instances,
will not be accepted. The dyers, we understand, are
complaining of a scarcity of orders.
IlArayeac. SATURDAY.—The demand for worsted
goods has been to. day much the same as it was this
day week, the principal inqury being for mixtures
for the American market. The spinners are still
busily employed, and the quotations for yarns are
maintained with firmness. There is no noticeable
alteration in the state of the wool market.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—FIat market to-day. The
season being considerably advanced, the merchants
are only purchasing to a:moderate extent. No change
in prices. Stocks low. There is a fair business in
the warehouses, but the mild weather checks the de-
mand for winter goods.

HEALTH of LONDON during the WEEK.
(From the Registrar-General's Return.)
In the week ending last Saturday the deaths re-
gistered in the metropolitan districts were 893, a
number which shows an excess of 56 on the return
of the previous week, but a reduction of 269 on the
corrected average of five autumns. If the present
return be compared with that made in the same week
of each of the years 1840 8, it will be found that,
with but one exception (in 1841, when the deaths
were 841), the mortality ranged formerly from
910 to 1,165, and therefore was considerably
higher than in last week, though the popula-
tion in those years was less. The increase
of 56 now observed on the week ending No-
vember 3 partly arises from pneumonia and bron-
chitis, the deaths from which become more numerous
as the winter advances, having been 104 in the
previous week, 127 in the last. The total number of
deaths from cholera in the week was only six (five
less than in the previous week) ; in the same week of
1848 there were 62. The steady decline of diarrhoea
and dysentery is shown by the numbers of the last
five weeks, which were respectively 105, 63, 51,.40,
and 29. A boy died of diarrhoea in Peterborough-
row, Fulham, whose father had been carried off by
cholera in September ; a boy of the same disease at
Brudenell-place, New North-road, from an unwhole-
some condition of the house ; arid a girl at Maidstone-
place, in the house in which a death from cholera,
reported in the former week, occurred, and in a locality
then described as " low and ill-drained." Uf the six
deaths from cholera, one occnrred in Water-lane, Ho-
znerton ; one at Weatherhead-gardens (Hackney-road),
a place low, undrained, and drenched by waste water ;
one in Christchurch, St. Saviour's ; one at Drummond-
