REPORT ON THE FRENCH LOAN.
To URS, Sunday.

M. de Roussy, delegate otof the Ministry of
Finance, has submitted to the Government the
following:—

By decree of October 25th, 1870, the Government autho-
rised a public subscription with the view of realising a
loan of 250,000,000 francs contracted in England. On
the same date instructions and notices were sent to
the agents of the Treasury, but on account of
the interruptions caused by the war they were
only received in 310 arrondissements out of 371, and
Paris was unable to participate in the subscription. The
subscription was opened on Thursday, October 27th,
and closed October 29th. The subscriptions amounted to
93,921,000, represented by-139,577 obligations of francs
500 ; 4,273 obligations of francs, 2,500 ; 528 obligations of
francs 12,500; 274 obligations of francs 25,000. Simul-,
taneously with the call made upon capitalists by the
Government to provide for the requirements of the
National Defence Loans for the same object were isssued
by a large number of the Departments and Communes, the
first instalment of the loan, of 50,000,000 francs, falling
due October 31st, was promptly paid. The preceding
results may be considered as a proof of the resources of
the country, and a testimony of the confidence in the
credit of the State.

ITALY AND ROME.

Dz ROUBSY.

FLOUENCE, November 2.

Some of the evening papers here state that dis-
sensions exist in the Cabinet, and that a Minis-
terial crisis is imminent. From reliable informa-
tion, it is positively asserted that such rumours
are, for the present at least, destitute of founda-
tion.

The Minister of Finance has received an im-
portant report from Signor Giacomelli, Councillor
of the Lieutenancy- of Rome. The question die-
cussed in the document is the possibility of an early
transfer to Rome of the seat of government. A.
Commission of Engineers, which had been appointed
expressly states that all preparations for this purpose
could be completed by July, 1871.

Signor Minghetti, the Italian Minister at Vienna,
has asked
,for leave of absence, probably because
he is desirous to be present at the general election in
Italy.
