MARSEILLES, SEPT. 22,

The son of Fuad Pacha arrived yesterday even-
ing. He sets out immediately by express train for
Paris, where he will arrive this evening, carrying
with him the ratification of the convention relative
to the Danubian Principalities.
The intelligence from Constantinople is to the
15th. The law, interdicting to strangers the right
to acquire estates without renouncing their nation-
ality, had not yet been promulgated; but it was con-
sidered as inevitable.

Sir Henry Bulwer had sent his secretary to meet
Lord Stratford de Redcliffe in the Dardanelles.
The birth-day of the Czar had been celebrated at
the Russian Embassy. During the dinner the re-
presentative of Montenegro occupied the place of
honour. A crowd of Greeks surrounded the Palace
of the Embassy.

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY,

The Moniteur this morning published a notice
from the Minister of Finance reducing the rate of
interest on the Bons du Tresor from 3 to 2f per
cent. for three to five months' bonds, and to 3 per
cent. on those that have from six months to a year
to run. No change is made on bonds up to three
months, the interest on which remains, consequently,
at 21 per cent.

The Moniteur publishes a letter from Tien-Tsin,
in China, dated the 28th June, which states that
the treaty between that country and France was
signed on the preceding day by Baron Gros, the
French Minister, and by Kouei-Liang and Houa-
cha-na., the Chinese Ministers. The same as on the
occasion of signing the English treaty the day before,
the greatest pomp was displayed. The ceremony took
place in the pagoda of Hai-Kouang. When it was
over, the French Minister begged Kouei-Liang to
give him the hair-pencil with which he had marked
his name. The Chinaman complied, and begged,
in return, one of the two pens which Baron Gros
had used. As the treaty provides for the free ex-
ercise of the Christian religion, Baron Gros re-
quested that a certain number of Christians, who
had been for some years imprisoned in the interior,
and whose names he had procured, should be set
at liberty. The Chinese plenipotentiaries promised
that an order to that effect should be sent from
Pekin. It was believed that before leaving the
Gulf of Pecheli, Lord Elgin and Baron Gros would
visit the great wall of China.
