Business to-day opened very 11.ttly, but we have
no decline to note in Consols. There is a little ac-

that might be called an improvement.

Athens of the forced loans obtained from it, so
In it may resume cash payme_nts, and, as this will

English establishment, • the shares of which stood
at a
premium until the issue of the forced currency
sent them to a heavy discount, the result may be
,specially advantrgeous. But, although there
aave been some efforts lately to put a stop to bri-
ondage and to effect other reforms, it is difficult
? believe that under its present political organisa-
tion the country can experience any permanent im-
oveent, or endeavour to enter upon the path of
honesty.

The contract for the new Turkish Loan for a net
sum of 12 millions sterling has been signed exclu-
Sirely with the Imperial Ottoman Bank. A portion
of ,it, destined to redeem the bonds issued some
time ago by the Societe Generale of Paris, has been
taken firm by that institution and its adherents.
With regard to the Grand Trunk, of Canada
Railway, Ilerapath's Journal states that Mr. Potter
the President, will leave Liverpool on Tuesday for
a tour of inspection of the entire line, and that he
will devote several months to the task, in order to
master thoroughly its details of management.
It is stated that Mr. Varley, the electrician, is at
Brest for the purpose of remedying the fault in the
Preach cable. It is at a point about 1,000 miles
from the French coast, and Mr. Varley, without
raising the cable, " hopes to be able by some very
Clever manipulation of electricity to produce at the
precise spot of the fault an effect similar to electro-
typing on the surface of the conducting wire, and
°Y this means to prevent the escape to earth of any
Portion of the electric current."

PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.

S IJZTDAT.

The state of the Emperor's health is the prevailing sub-
ject of interest at present. The Journal Official has at
last furnished some particulars of his illness. He is said
to have been suffering from rheumatism, which has nearly
disappeared, Tho Constitutionnel states that the Em-
peror has presided over a Council of Ministers, and after-
wards walked in the park. After the return of the
Empress and the Prince Imperial, it is announced that
the Emperor will go to the Camp at Chtdons, in order to
pass some days there before it is broken up. The ',de-
pendance Beige thinks that too much mystery has "been
preserved respecting the health of the Emperor, and that
it would have been far better for the public to have been
lammed of his state from the beginning of his illness.
The continued silence of the official journal gave rise to
doubts and sum-list's .1\ Melt produced lu conse-
quences, and served to shake the public eonfi-
deuce. It is said that the doctors in attend-
ance on the Emperor hod signed a, bulletin respecting
his health, but that it was not deemed of a
sufficiently reassuring character to be made public.
It is also affirmed that the Emperor has not been suffering
from rheumatism, but that his illness proceeds from a very
different source, arid that he has had to undergo an opera-
tion. In consequence of this having proved successful a
great improvement took place in his condition, and hence
the favourable report of the official journal. It seems to.
be the general opinion that when the Emperor is restored
to health it will be necessary for him to take more
precautions than he has been in the habit of doing,
in order to avoid the danger of a relapse. The Moniteur
declares, on the authority of authorised persons. that the
Emperor is now much better, but that during the whole
of Thursday he was very ill, and that Dr. Ricord was
sent for. Since then a great improvement has taken
place in his condition, and there. is every reason to
expect that his health will soon be completely reesta-
blish ed.

The Empress is still anxious to go to Rome, and it is
rumoured that, if the Emperor continues to improve, she
will proceed to Civita Vecchia from Ajaccio, and from
thence proceed to Rome, to spend a short time in strict
incognito. This project will, however, be difficult of
accomplishmeq under the circumstances of the case, and
it is more likely—ths.t she will return direct to Paris.

_ .
The Figaro denies the report that in consequence of
Mme remarks on the health of the Emperor it had been
summoned before the jugs d'instruction. It furnishes some
details of the visit which M. Rabut, Commissary of Police
of the Bourse,paid to the office, and remarks that M. Pabut
declared that the Journal Official never spoke of the
condition of illustrious individuals except when they were
in danger. The points on which the Commissary chiefly
insisted were that the Emperor had not suffered from
fainting fits, and that he had not been obliged to undergo
an operation.

The sessions of the Conseils Gentlraux came to a con-
:lusion yesterday evening--a fact which no one is much
disposed to regret, for it became evident as soon as they
assembled that tl:e discussion would not throw much
light on the political situation, The minority in almost
every assembly were ready indeed with motions and sub-
jects for debate, but the timidity or the hesitation of the
majorities rejected them in every instance. The Liberal
organs do not affect to conceal their disappointment at
this result ; which is certainly to be deplored, as
the unanimous expression of public feeling in the
provinces would have proved a powerful support to the
constitutional reformers of the caPital. In some depart-
ments efforts were made to secure the publication of the
speakers' names in the reports of the proceedings of the
councils, in place of the awkward formula, "A member
said," "A member proposed," now adopted. The publi-
cation of the reports in the journals was also the subject
of debate. The former proposal was actually adopted
in the Seine Inf4rieure. The Council of Il et Vilaine
chewed a little more spirit than the rest. Its members
voted an address to the Government, expressing the satis-
faction with which they saw the Ministerial reforms, and
their hope that eventually the power of the Conseils
G6msra,ux would be enlarged and their right to choose
their own officials restored to them.

The interpellation of the 116 continues to give rise
to discussion. At the Council of Loire Inferieure allusion
was made to it, when one of the members present (pro-
bably M. ThoinZA de la Trumeliere) declared that it Ibas
neither illegal nor unconstitutional, since it only aimed at
directing the attention of the Government to the ten.
dencies of public opinion in France. For his own part
he believed he had done the Government a service
in signing it. Two more deputies have con-
tradicted the statement of the Pays, which jonrual
averred that the 116 had either acted without reflection or
in consequence of pressure. The Pays mentioned fifty-one
of these gentlemen by name as already inclined to regret
the step which they had taken, and of these fifty-one only
seven have as yet left the assertion unccntradieted. The
publication of M. Devienne's report has certainly not
improved the public estimate of the Seoatus-Con.sultum:
The regrets and excuses, the panegyrics over the past and
the manifest trepidation as to the present, show, in the
opinion of some critics, that the Emperor himself is
submitting to the change more from necessity than from
choice. Such feeble and uncertain efforts will but serve,
it is said, to produce a system of government which will
be neither autocratic, constitutional, authoritative, or
national, and which, consequently, cannot possibly inspire
confidence. The reserves in the amnesty have also given
these cynics ground forrcomplaint,but lam told that Ledru
Rollin, the most notable exception, has.a,ctually arrived at
Lille. The Temps of this morning attacks the Govern-
ment on this subject, and declares that, in excluding Ledru
