ceipts and stock of common grades of flour were
light, and prices steady at' the previous day's Tic-
-tations ; extra grades wore less buoyant, without
material change in quotations. Wheat was in good
supply and lower; a good deal of the new arrived
out of order and sold at low figures ; sound
closed at lower prices. Corn sold to a fair extent

firmly held, with moderate sales of mess at
25 dols. 75c. to 26 dole., and of prime at
21 dols. 25c. to 21 dols. 40,7. Sugars wore quite

at the late advance, and to Liverpool about
30,000 bushels of -wheat were engaged at s*d. in

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY.

The French Government has received despatches
announcing that the Emperor of Morocco, who
has been for some time unwell, has regulated his
succession, and has appointed his son, who is
Governor of the province of Tafilat, to be his
heir. This young man is said to have very war-
like ideas, and to differ essentially from his father's
policy.
The Debats offers the following rejoinder to cer-
tain continental journals, which affect to hold
cheap the resources 'of England, and her ability to
maintain a protracted military struggle

" Those who base their calculations on the probable
exhaustion of the military resources of England appear
to forget that England is, after all, a nation of 28 mil-
lion souls, and that her military organisation, however
defective it may be, permitted her to concentrate more
than 50,000 men under the walls of Sebastopol. Wby
also shoul.l not be taken into account the moral dis-
position of a nation which has in all times adapted
its efforts to the difficulties it has to overcome—which
may be beaten, and generally is beaten at tho
commencement of its wars, but which is rarely
discouraged, and which gains in strength as the
struggle continues ? England is already agitated by
the bad news from India, and. we shall soon see offeru
made from- all parts of the kingdom similar to that of
the inhabitants of Sheffield. Without pretending td
dive into the future;' we cannot admit that a nation
'gifted with such resournes and such energy can be de-
finitively beaten by an insurrection of Asiatics, who have
learnt the art of war in its pay, but who have not:

yet been able to destroy their masters, whom they
suprised while unarmed and dispersed."
