High Admiral, and replaced in the Presidency of
the Council of the Tanzimat by Mehemmed Ruchdi

FRANCE.
PARIS, SATURDAY.

It is not true that the French Government has ad-
dressed a note to the Cabinet of St. James's, com-
plaining of the bombardment of Jeddah. It may be
the Government of the Emperor, nevertheless, re-
gret such an event took place, after the assurances
given by the Porte that the assassins should be
punished, and every satisfaction given to England
and France for the outrages committed.

It is now evidently a period at the Bourse when
capitalists are no longer content to wait for lower
prices. During the last three weeks a very large
amount of bona fide purchases have been made in all
securities. Rente, that is to say the 3 per Cents.,
which lingered so long between 69 and 70, have now
fairly left even the latter figure behind, and no one
expects a retrograde movement if the usual course of
political and commercial events be not disturbed.
This day (Saturday) the Threes reached 70.40, and
found buyers to a considerable extent. Com-
mercial men in France look forward to a pe-
riod of increased prosperity. The late crisis has
kept large amounts of money unemployed, as may
be seen by the low demands made for discount.
The Bank of France again contemplated this week
a reduction of its discount charges. The metallic re-
serve of that establishment has not been greater for
many months, and the Banque de France shares have
fallen Mfr. this week accordingly. This stagnation,
it is argued, must ere long be replaced by increased
activity. The exportation trade to the United States
is gradually showing symptoms of improvement ;
the opening of China will afford a new market for a
certain class of French produce, and Algeria is daily
inviting increased commerce. The political aspect of
Europe is considered satisfactory. Those who sought
to create a ball feeling between England and France
are now thoroughly defeated. The Danube will
ere long be open to the flags of all nations on terms
highly favourable to commerce. The Russian Go-
vernment seems to devote all its attention towards
developing the Wealth of that great empire ; in fact,
there seems to be a disposition throughout Europe to
cultivate the arts of peace. Such is the material
with which men calculate in Paris for a general im-
provement in prices and an approaching•manufac-
turing activity. The following table shows the
variations in quoted property as compared with last
week

PARIS, SUNDAY, 6 P.M.

I may assure you there is no truth in the reports
periodically circulated about England and France
being about to resume diplomatic relations with
Naples. There are persons both in Paris and Lon-
don interested in re-establishing embassies at the
Court of the Two Sicilies, because it would assure
them a pleasant diplomatic appointment. There are
also persons in Naples who think to persuade King
Ferdinand of the necessity of making some changes
in his Cabinet, and according a limited political am-
nesty. The information which reaches me from
Naples represents the King as rather pleased than
otherwise to dispense with the presence of French
and English plenipotentiaries. Nevertheless, as cer-
tain officious approaches are from time to time made
with a view of reconciliation, we must expect perio-
dically to find exaggerated reports of the same in
the continental journals. These reports generally
are first printed in an Austrian or Belgian paper.
They thus get into some London newspaper, and
finally become reprinted from the English text in
one or two French journals. The Siecle of to-day,
for example, publishes from one of your contempo-
raries an " important rumour," by which we learn
how the King of Naples has accepted conditions for
a reconciliation with England and France. The fact
is, England and France arc perfectly agreed on what
terms they will resume relations with Naples, and
those terms are, no doubt, such as the honour of the
two countries demands, and the real interests of
Naples suggests—therefore not likely to be accepted
by King Ferdinand.

The French Government has not yet received any
confirmation of the treaty with China from its own
agent, nor can any such confirmation arrive, it is
calculated, for ten days. Despatches, however, have
reached Paris which anticipate the possibility of
China accepting all the demands of the Allies but
one, but the objectionable " one" is not named. May
it not be the establishment of Ambassadors at
Pekin ?

A letter from Berlin, of the 26th, contains the im-
portant announcement of the elevation of the Prince
of Prussia to the functions of Regent of the king-
dom, intelligence for which your readers are pre-
pared :

"The question relative to the Government is at
length decided. Two days ago there was received at
Babelsberg a resolution of the King on the subject, ,
but which will not, however, be published before the
expiration of the present delegation. The Prince of ,
Prussia will, on the 23d October, take in hands the
reins of government, with the complete exercise of
sovereignty and in quality of Regent. This affair is
settled in all its political bearings—it only remains to
make the necessary financial arrangements. This in-
formation may be considered as authentic."
A letter from Berlin, of the 24th, in the Augsburg
Gazette, says :—" The Prussian Cabinet has, within
the last few days, sent a fresh despatch to the Aus-
trian Government to again explain the attitude of
Prussia in the question of Radstadt."
In this document the Prussian Government per-
sists in maintaining that it has, as well as Austria,
a right to place a garrison in that federal fortress.
A letter from Vienna, of the 24th, in speaking of
the Prussian Note, says :—" Much sensation has been
caused here by a decisive note which the Prussian
Government has just addressed to Count Buol, rela-
tive to the resolution of the Diet on the subject of
the pretensions of Prussia to keep a garrison at Rad-
stadt, conjointly with Austria and the Grand Duchy
of Baden. As it was thought here that this affair
was settled, at least for some time, the sudden arrival
of this note has produced considerable sensation in
the higher political regions of our. capital."
I have received communications from Athens,
dated Aug. 20. The Queen continues to direct the
political affairs of Greece, which are chiefly confined
to the question of the succession to the throne.
Her Majesty now intrigues against the pre-
tensions, or rather rights, of the Bavarian
Court. This is so obvious that the Minister of
Bavaria no longer visits the Kynosargis (Royal
Palace). The Queen desires to see her brother suc-
ceed to the Crown, and openly declares that the
Prince Alymadas would embrace the Greek faith if he
were elected heir to the throne. I need scarcely add her
Majesty is strongly supported in this proposition by
Count Ozaroff, the Russian Minister at Athens. The
King himself is said to support this arrangement,
and will try to settle the question before he returns
to Athens. The public works of which we heard so
much are still confined to paper ; the French en-
gineer, M. Daniel, is unable to get the Government
to permit him to do anything at all. He has nothing
to think of, though well paid, but his pipe, and the
i,,at'7ocov ,uAt (the famed honey) of that delicious
land. The Anglo-French Financial Commission is
equally employed in doing nothing. Unhappy
Greece !

The Opinione of Turin reminds the Morning Post
that it is in error to suppose Mazzini uses that jour-
nal to promulgate his revolutionary circulars. "If
we have produced the document," say the Opinione,
"it is because by so doing we avail ourselves of the
best means to show its impotence and absurdity."
Italy, in future, need fear nothing from Mazzini ; the
people are perfectly well aware who are their friends
and who their enemies.

A letter from Mauberge states that on Sunday
last, the 22d, ten Protestants were expelled from a
room in which they were assembled, and four of
them, one the minister, who had been sent from the
Consistory of Lille, carried to prison. Tf this be true,
the authorities have acted quite contrary to the policy
observed by The French Government in religious affairs.
Toleration ofall religious sects—the equal protection of
all—the participation of all in public benefits, are the
rules to be observed throughout France. It is only
when a religious doubt has been employed to screen
political designs that the State interfered. The central
authorities will assuredly punish the fanatical passions
of those who convert religion into the intrigues of
ignorance, and substitute persecution for that Chris-
tian toleration of all Christian sects which belongs
to the principles of the great Revolution—on which
the present dynasty and Government of France are
founded.

The Lien, a journal of the Reformed Churches,
publishes the following extract of a circular lately
addressed by the Prefect of the Sarthe to the Sub-
Prefects and other authorities in that department,
relative to the hawking of books and other printed
publications :—" I must add, according to instruc-
tions from the Minister of the Interior, that in all
the departments like ours, where only a small pro-
portion of the population profess the reformed reli-
gion, Protestant Bibles must be assimilated to other
writings contrary to the religion of the majority, and
consequently of a nature to excite a certain degree of
irritation. It is, therefore, proper to exclude those
works from being hawked even when they have the
usual stamp." I very much question if the Minis-
ter of the Interior ever issued instructions preventing
the distribution of any Bibles. Is it to be believed
that France, in 1858, is not to possess the faithful
text of the Bible ? The subject deserves the atten-
tion of Government, in order that such a reported
scandalmay be removed. Rome does not dictate in
Paris ! If so, such does not belong to the great Re-
volution !

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE PERSIA.
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.

This forenoon the royal mail steamship Persia.
Capt. C. H. E. Judkins, arrived in the Mersey, from
New York, with advices from thence to the 18th
inst. The Persia brings 188 passengers, and $695,462
in specie.

On Sunday, the 22d, the Persia reached St. John's,
Newfoundland, and, after receiving on board the
mails and passengers of the Europa, proceeded on
her homeward course the same day, arriving off this
port at 4 a.m., where she waited the flowing of the

tide, to enable her to cross the bar and enter the
river.

The screw steamship Saxonia, from Bremen and
Southampton, arrived at New York on the evening
of the 17th, and the screw steamer City of Washing-
ton, from hence, was off the port on the 18th.
The excitement incident in the United States upon
the completion of the laying of the Atlantic tele-
graph cable had received an impetus by the receipt
of the Queen's message to the President. On the
17th an intense excitement prevailed amongst all
classes of the citizens of New York, in consequence
of the despatches from the Queen and President,
which were published in the morning newspapers.
Many were incredulous, believing the news too good
to be true ; but the confirmatory despatches pub-
lished during the day, and the publicity given to the
Queen's message in full, dissipated all doubts, and the
rejoicing was universal• On 'Change, in the street,
on ferry boats, in all the marts of trade, and in every
family circle, the one topic of conversation was the
cable and the Queen's message. Without any par-
ticular request on the part of the authorities, the
citizens readily resolved to celebrate this great
event becomingly. Business was in good part sus-
pended, and an unusual number of people thronged
the streets, expecting some sort of turn out. All
the public buildings and hotels had the national flags
flying throughout the day. The city arms and the
stars and stripes waved over the City Hall. One of
the features of these flag decorations was the inter-
national character they assumed. The colours, not
of our own, but of every nation were represented, to
typify the union of diverse nationalities as a conse-
quence of the success of the cable. The shipping in
the harbour were also similarly decorated, and the
coup d' ceil on entering the port presented by the
numberless streamers was magnificent. The demand
for newspapers early in the day was very great, and
it is probable that not so many were sold in one day
since the loss of the Arctic. In the evening the dis-
play was exceedingly brilliant. The exhibition of
fireworks, the salutes of artillery, and the illumina-
tions, altogether made up a demonstration never
before equalled. _ _ _

In other portions of the United States and in Bri-
tish America the demonstrations were also most
hearty. Telegraphic news from Boston to New York
thus characterises the demonstration there
The telegraphic celebration in this city to-night is only
equalled by our Fourth of July demonstrations. Thousands
of citizens crowd the streets. Among the most conspicuous
buildings illuminated are the City Hall, the Public Library,
the Journal and Transcr:pt newspaper offices, and the
Parker House. The Common presents a magnificent ap-
pearance, being illuminated by thousands of coloured lan-
terns attached to the forest of trees. The 2d Regiment of
Infantry is being reviewed on the Common, while several
bands of music engaged for the occasion enliven the scene
with the national airs of America and England. The statue
of Franklin, in front of the City Hall, is wreathed with
flowers and his name made conspicuous in letters of gaslight
from the façade of the building. Rockets are flying in all
directions. Though hastily got up the demonstration is
grand—worthy of the occasion. In Charlestown, Chelsea,
Cambridge, Roxbury, and other cities and towns adjoining,
the event was also appropriately celebrated to-night. There
has been a general jubilee all around."
