The mercantile letters from Paris yesterday throw
very little light upon the state of feeling of the commercial
and monied classes. On the whole, however, they indicate
great distru,t and timidity. No apprehensions are expressed
of any immediate convulsion in financial or trading affairs,
but there is an evident belief that a long period of uncer-
tainty has now to be passed through, and that every means
should be taken so as to be prepared against even the most
extraordinary possibilities. The balance of opinion sedum
to be that Louis Napoleon may succeed for the time in main-
taining his position, but that as everything must continue
to depend upon the troops, the revival
of commercial confi-
dence is out of the question. The unexpected rise which
took place yesterday in the price of the Ilentcs, and which
carried them to the point at which they stood before the
violation of the Constitution, is accounted for by, the stpr ment that large purchases were made for the purpois
also said that the brokers forced most of their clients CO
nOercialy
' their accounts, and as these parties had been e
sellers, there was consequently a large amount bought back.

It appears that the price of gold at Paris,
we (wabout 6s. Bd. per

-1000 premium. It may, therwore, resumed that some
anxiety existed to obtain it forthpurpg'se of hoarding. For
London have also the same reason short bills on
risen.—
