Erzeroum, where troops are being collected by
the Turkish Government. The fortifications, re-
cently constructed, are only mounted with 28

FRANCE.
PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.

The Moneteur this morning contains a notifica-
tio❑ fixing as follows the interest on bons du tresor
from the 7th of January, viz.: For bons of from
three to five months, 4/ per cent. per annum ; of
from six to eleven months, 5 per cent. per annum ;
and bons for a year, 5 per cont, per annum.
A letter from Frankfort, received here, mentions
that additional co-operation is given to Saxony,
Bavaria, and Wurtemberg in the efforts made
by those States in favour of peace. It is consi-
dered certain that the Grand Duke of Hesse
gives his complete approval to the propositions
transmitted by Austria to the Court of Rus-
sia. The representative of the Grand Duke at
St. Petersburg has been instructed to support
those propositions, or, at least, advise their ac-
ceptance by the Russian Cabinet. What the result
may be no one can say; but the act of the Grand
Duke is considered important, as the Empress of
Russia is his sister, and he is believed to possess
much influence over her. " This step," adds the
letter,

" Can hardly fail to produce an impression on the
mind of the Emperor Alexander, and it will be for him
a new proof of the disposition of Germany, and of the
movement in public opinion, which declares itself each day
more and more favourable to the policy of the Western
Powers."

An Imperial decree opens to the Budget of the

office charges of the commission of old soldiers.
