INTERNATIONAL COINAGE.

Austria Las taken a step towards the adoption of the
French system of international coinage. The Government
is about to lay before the Reichsrath a bill to legalise the
coining of ten end twenty-franc pieces. The same course,
it is believed, will be taken with regard to Hungary. The
French monetary system is rapidly spreading all over
Europe.

the Institute, where they are now open to public
inspection. The publication of the letters by the
Academic des Sc:ences is a strong argument in
favour of their authenticity, though Professor
Owen cautiously refrains from expressing an opinion
on the subject. Should they prove to be genuine,
they will possess the highest interest, and
they will certainly exhibit some well-known
historical characters in a new light. The two first
are from Louis XIV. to Cassini, and the King speaks
of entrusting his correspondent with the talk of
writing a life of Galileo, in which full justice
shall be done to the discoveries of " that great
astronomer." Louis XIV. also refers to a cor-
respondence between his father (Louis XIII.) and an
ltalim Cardinal respecting the persecutions of
Further•-on minis a letter from Galileo
him6elf, in which he thanbs the King for the generous
invitation brought to him by the Ambassador of
Rome, and for other proofs of his Majesty's interest
in him. All this is very different from the popularly
rcceimd notions of the grrnl aro, te toleration
and enlightenment. Not the least interesting portion
of the series are the litters professing to be written
by John Milton to Louis XIV., to Voiture, and to
MolPre. They all refir to the astronomer and his
letters, and the charges brought against him by the
Jesuits.
