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 21 per
cent. for three to five months' bonds, and to 3 per
cent. on th9se 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 hint 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 Peckeli, Lord Elgin and Baron Gros would
visit the great wall of China.

PRUSSIA.

The Zeit of Berlin publishes an article on the
establishment of the Russians at Villafranca, which
it regards altogether as a commercial affair. It
concludes its observations in these terms :—" In-
stead of casting suspicion on the competition which
Russia desires to enter into with the navigation of
the Western Powers as well as with the Austrian
Lloyd's, it would be far better, especially in Austria,
to endeavour to support that competition."
Prince Alfred, of England, left Berlin on the
18th for Gotha. The Duke of Cambridge arrived
in the Prussian capital on the same day from
Mecklenburg.
