It is understood that the Bank of France has at
length concluded an arrangement for a supply of
£2,000,000 in gold, by means of bills, which are to
be drawn on London, through the houses of Messrs.
N. M. Rothschild and Sons and Messrs. Baring
Brothers and Co. This amount of specie, it is
thought, will relieve the establishment from the
pressure under which it is now labouring, partly in
consequence of the withdrawals of bullion which
have :already taken place, and 'partly through
the uneasiness such a movement has naturally
created. It is presumed, however, that the plan
now adopted will not only enable the Council to
meet the demands upon them, but also restore con-
fidence in monetary and commercial circles.
Considerable excitement prevailed in the Liver-
