The Constitutionnel has the following on the Minis-
terial crisis :—" We will explain in a few words the
real state of affairs. We shall not enter into a detail
of the various reports which are in circulation. Those
which turn on pretended projects a hundred times
attributed to the executive power, and a hundred
times contradicted by its acts, are absurd, and meet
with an credit anywhere. As to the rumours which
are circulated on the present Ministerial combinations
they are-devoid of any foundation. We think we can
affirm that.the PRESIDENT of the Republic has sent for no
one, has conferred with no one, has charged no one to
speak with a view to a Ministerial combination. The
PRESIDENT is occupied with drawing up the message
which is to be presented in his name to the National
Assembly. The circumstances under which the
country is placed naturally gives to this political do-
cument a great importance. It is not until the mes-
sage shall have been definitively drawn up that the',
PRESIDENT will compose the Ministry charged to
support his policy. From this time until then, that
is to say for ten or twelve days, the honourable Mi-
nisters who have resigned will continue to lend their
co-operation to the PRESIDENT of the Republic ;
they, will transact the business of the country,
and watch over the maintenance of order ; there is
no danger in this delay. Other resignations be-
sides those of the Ministers and of the Prefect of
Police are spoken of as having been or about
to be tendered to the PRESIDENT by high civil
functionaries. If they are offered they will be
accepted. In this case the choice of their successors
will be such as not to diminish public confidence in the
holders of authority. It is not for us to predict what
the message will contain ; we, nevertheless, think
that we can give an exact indication on two very
important points of the Presidential programme.
These two points, to which we will confine ourselves,
are as follows :—First, the PRESIDENT will lay down
in very plain. terms, as one of the bases of his policy,
the .comi)lete repeal of the law of May 31. Secondly,
he will express with no less firmness his irrevocable
resolution to maintain the policy of order, of Conser-
vatism, and of authority, inaugurated on the 10th De-
atnsber, and not to make any concession to anarchical
ideas, under whatever standard they may be, and
whatever name nay authorize them."
,The Presse says :—" According to what was yes-
terday said in the Permanent Committee, MM.
ACHILLE FOU'LD and CHASSELOUP-LAUBAT will be in
the new Ministry. M. DE .Maupas, Prefect of the
Haute Garonne, will be the successor of M. CARLIER.
This news, however, was not given as positive."
The Council of Revision of the 6th military division
aaaembled at Lyons on Tuesday, to hear the appeal of
G'BriT and other prisoners condemned by court-
martial for participation in the Lyons plot. DE-
SHORTIES DE BEAULIEU was president of the court.
The whole of the sitting was occupied in technical
formalities and in the reading of papers.

ractclised the home markets, has already taken eha-
full
effect hero ; and a considerable falling off in our Ex
will no douot bo. lho immediate result, or at any rateo t
,s,
corresponding fall in prices to meet the London rates.
The srioinit cf bills drawn by the East India Co
pang on this Prei,lency from the 7th to the 23d July was 62,3801. 17s. 9d. Exchange remaining as before
ac 2s. 11 per rupee. Money considered to be plentiful.
Prices of rav co.t n had again seceded, and the Li-
verpool market was described as being in a dull, and
most wintisfactory state. In Manchester prices were

lower for both yarns and shirtings suited to this market.
The prevailing opinion seemed
.to be that cotton had
not yet seen its lowest point.
Latterly transactions in exports have fallen off con-
siderably; but still in the month of August last an
average amount of business obtained. The export of
sugar was not quite equal to that of July, but still it
was large amounting to 197,082 maunds, mostly at
prices standing too high for the London markets. Ship-
ments of saltpetre continue light. Jute also remains
much neglected of late. Corahs have been sent for-
ward rather more freely than for some months past;
shipments of August amounting to 29,404 pieces.
Very little has been done in any other kind of silk
piece goods for Great Britain. Of raw silk the ex-
port last month was 927 maunds. In rice to Great
Britain there has been next to nothing doing. There
has only been a small business doing in lac dye and not
very much in shell lac, all at moderate prices. Ship-
ment of safflower in August did not exceed 1,872
maunds. Hides continue to go forward to Great Britain
on a full scale, 145,942 pieces being the export of
August, and shipments are still in progress to some ex-
tent, though prices are looking down. Linseed ship-
ments continue large, and prices are consequently well
supported. Mustardseed has remained in moderate in-
quiry for Great Britain, at former rates. Shipments of
castor oil during last month amounted to 4,155 maunds.
Transactions in cutch, of late, have been confined to
American buyers. Very little rum has been shipped for
some time past.
Our money market remains much the same as at the
date of cur last report. Money is plentiful in certain
quarters, but not so easy of access as appears to be de-
sired. Rates of interest continue high. Government
Securities are lower in valae, and our present quotations
are New Company's Fives 2.12 to 3.0.0 pm. Transfer
Five per Cent. 6.8 to 7.0.0 dis. Company's Four per
Cent. 11.4 to 11.8 dis. Bank of Bengal Shares are
quoted Co.'s rs. 2,250 pm. Bonded Warehouse Shares
at Co.'s rs. 200 each. In the Bazaar there still prevails
much anxiety and distrust, which feelings are increased
by very unfavourable accounts from Mirzapore, and most
of the chief commercial towns in the upper provinces.
Credit for the time is much shaken, and the negotiation
of native bills or boondies may be said to be suspended.
EXCHANGE.—Rates have risen considerably since our
last, and for this mail the following may be looked upon
as current rates:—First-class Credits, 2s. lid. to 2s. lid,
per rupee ; ditto Documents, 2s. lad. to 2s. lid. per
rupee.
Our import market has continued in a wretched state,
and is just at present, if possible, in a worse position than
it has yet been in. The imports of August were very heavy,
while there has been little or no demand for the up coun-
try. The Bazaar, owing to the failures noticed in our
last, has continued in a very confused and unsettled state,
causing much distrust and apprehension to be felt.
This position of affairs has lately become more evident
from the difficulties in which it is well known one of
the largest Masrarie houses in the bazaar is involved.
At present it appears doubtful whether they will get
through or have to succumb to their difficulties; and it
seems mainly to depend upon assistance expected from
their head-quarters. One thing is certain, that if they
are compelled to give way nothing but a very bad state of
affairs in the bazaar can be looked for during the next
two or three months. Other and numerous failures will
no doubt follow; the annual Doorgah Poojah holidays are
fast approaching; and everything connected with im-
ports, their buyers, and markets, is at present of a meat
gloomy nature. Prices of piece goods have come down
considerably of late; or rather business being brought to
something like a stand in consequence of the difficulty of
off cling delivery, and getting money, induces very low
offers on the past of dealers, brokers, and banians, and
therefore sales are by no means easy even at the present
miserable prices. In the present state of matters, it
would appear to be impossible for any important change
for the better to take place for several months to come;
and this, it is believed, is the general opinion of the
mercantile community of Calcutta.
Freights have not undergone much change since our
last, although, as there is a more plentiful supply of
tonnage, with less need of it, rates have a downward
tendency. Present quotations are to London.—Sagar,
31. 10s.; Saltpetre, 31. 55.; Rice nominal; oilseeds, 4/. ss.
to 4L 7s. 6d.; Hides, 31. 15e. to 41.; Jute, 31. I's. 6d.
INDIGO.—As usual at this season of the year, there
have been no transactions of late in this export. The
prospects of the coming crop have, however, much im-
proved during the last sew days, owing to a continuance
of the most favourable weather almost ever known; arid
we think that eve ally safely state that the outturn will
be fully 1,07,000 to 1,10,000 maunds, or it may slightly
exceed this amount should the present weather continue.
