FRANCE.
Under the head of " Latest Intelligence," La
Patric has the following:—
"The Marshal Duke of Magenta, who has re•
turned from Berlin, has been summoned to Com-
peigne.

"M. Declercq, Sub-Director in the Foreign-
office, who had been sent to Berlin to watch the
negotiations respecting a treaty of commerce be-
tween France and Prussia, has arrived at Paris
The negotiations have not succeeded, but this is•
to be attributed to the opposition of the German
Powers members of the Zollverein, and not to
Prussia, which, during the conferences that have
taken place, showed a great desire to come to an
arrangement with France."

La Patrie also has the following:—
"M. de Gobineau, appointed Minister of France
in Persia, has left Constantinople for Erzeroum, en
route for Teheran.

"The frigate Sybille, Commander Pouget, has
sailed from Rochefort, with troops on board, for
the Ile Reunion."

The Constitutionnel has the following :—" The
naval division which will sail in a few days for
Mexico consists of the man-of-war Massena, com-
mander Rcze, four frigates, a corvette, five gun-
boats, an aviso, and a certain number of transports.
The squadron is under the command of Rear-
Admiral Jurien de la Graviere, the head of whose
staff is Captain Thomasset. A portion of the
squadron will sail from Toulon, the remainder from
Brest. They will meet at Vera Cruz. The num-
ber of troops embarked will be about 3,000 men,
comprising 500 Zouaves and a detachment of
Cavalry; the horses will be procured in Mexico."
BOURSE, Nov. B.—The rise of the last two days
has not made any further progress, but the market

tion have been made, the prices of yesterday have
been well maintained. Threes, for the account, are
now at 68f 75c. The following were the last

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

A letter from Vienna, dated the sth inst,, says :

" By the Imperial rescript which the Emperor
has just addressed to Couqt Forgach, his _Majesty
entrusts to Count Palffy, with the title of Lieute-
nant, the direction of the affairs of Hungary, and
lays down the regulations according to which the
new functionaries are to replace the former ones.
"In the Comitats, the Counts Palatine, or, in
their default, administrators will be called upon to
exercise the functions of governors, and will have
to obey the orders issued from the Lieutenancy at
Buda.

" The Administrative department, as well as the
judicial authorities, will be dependent upon those
heads of Contitats, and the mayors of towns will
also be under their immediate orders.

" The penal code actually in vigour in Hungary,
being only applicable to certain offences of minor
gravity, it will undergo a complete reform, and be
made suitable to the wants of the moment in pre-
cise terms.

" The Imperial rescript must, nevertheless, be
considered as an exceptional and purely temporary
measure, rendered necessary by the hostile attitude
of the authorities and assemblies actually existing
in Hungary, an indispensable measure, unless the
Patent of the 20th of October is to be considered a
dead letter.

An attempt is now made to re-establish order,
which has been so much disturbed, by wise and
decisive measures, to put an end to the excitement
which has seized upon a portion of the Hungarian
people, and which might lead to the most disastrous
complications."

This letter, which has a semi•oflicial tine about
it, concludes as follows :

" These are not repressive measures, nor is it a
state of siege which the Emperor of Austria has
just proclaimed, hilt administrative measures which,
we repeat it, are purely of a transitory nature, of a
description to obviate the obstacles to the deve-
lopment of the great principles of well-understood
liberty which prevail in regenerated Austria. There
is,
.therefore, reason to hope that, within a short

time, circumstances will allow the convocation of a
new Diet equal to its mission, which will partici-
pate loyally in the furtherance of a work the object
of which is to confer upon the various populations
that compose this vast empire the same benefits,
the same prerogatives, and the same liberties.
"What no one can deny now, and the last Im-
perial rescript gives an e.vident proof of it, is the firm
intention of his Apostolic Majesty not to deviate
from that line of conduct which that Monarch has
traced out for himself by granting constitutional
institutions to those countries."

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
There is a steady demand for discount accom-
modation at previous rates.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been about £195,000, and the exports £173,000.
A call of £5 per share, amounting in the aggre-
gate to £148,410, becomes due on Monday, on the
North British Railway £lO guaranteed shares.
About LlO,OOO in bar gold was withdrawn from
the Bank of England yesterday.
The Oneida, which left to-day for the Brazils,
took out £12,878 in specie.

The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
again in most instances rather lower.
Continued activity was exhibited in the Liver-
pool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were
firm. The sales were about 20,000 bales.
The state of the silk market is thus deseribed by
Messrs. Durant and Co.'s fortnightly circular :
" W e have again an unsatisfactory report to give of silk.
Transactions generally have been upon a limited scale, and
prices barely supported. The deliveries are less unfavour-
able than the previous month, but still not 'sod. In China
silk we have had an occasional appearance of business and
sales of parcels of decent extent, but this has been only oc-
casional, and the market generally has been heavy—so
much so, that notwithstanding the continued small supply
of ' classical' chops, the prices of these silks have given way
6d. to ls., thus reducing them to about their usual parity •
'Chinese thrown silk continues neglected4ln Japan silk fair
business has been done—the sales fairly keeping pace with
the arrivals. Bengal silk shares the general quiet, unfortu-
nately to the fullest extent. In Italian silk we have very
little doing. In Brutia and Persian silk nothing."
The market for Public Securities opened this
morning with a flatter appearance, but very little
fluctuation has taken place. Consols for transfer
with dividend are 93a t, and for the account, less
the dividend, 921 11. The New Threes and the
Reduced have improved to 911 72 ; Exchequer
Bills, March, to Bs. and lls. prem.; ditto, June,
to 18s. and 20s. prem. ; Bank Stock is 230 ; and
India 5 per Cent. Loan 1061 1.
In the Foreign Market continued firmness has
been apparent, and the dealings have been to a fair
extent. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 79/ 80; ditto,
1858, 68* 69 ; Mexican have improved to 271 28 ;
Spanish Certificates to 61 ; and Venezuelan are
firm, at 221 ; Chilian 42 per Cents. are 85,1;
_Brazilian 92,1 ; and Peruvian 3 per Cents. 81 82.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market were
limited, and in several instances a slight decline
took place in prices. Caledonians, Great Northerns,
Great Westerns, North-Westerns, and South-
Easterns have receded ss. ; and London and
Brighton, L 1 ; London, Chatham, and Dover, how.
ever, advanced £2.

In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings the
operations were unimportant. South-Austrian and
Lombardo-Venetian improved about ss. ; Great
Indian Peninsula ss. ; and East Indian declined 10s.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
continue in fair request at full prices. London
and Westminster advanced 55.; Union of Australia
declined ss. ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, Royal
Mail Steam, and General Steam realised previous
rates ; Red Sea and India Telegraph receded about
ss.
