The news from Paris that the Emperor is said
t 0
be in favour of the proposal for reducing the
military forces of the great nations has rendered the

Qeuplecl with the fortnightly settlement, which com-
lnences to-morrow, renders business flat.

The allotments of the Italian Tobacco Loan were
sent out on Saturday evening, and the price has
advanced to 2to 1 prem. It appears that the sub-
-Beriptions have been so large in Italy that a reduc.-
',,tl°ll pro rote is to be trade in the allotments on the
rotinent. The company will take into its own
.'ands the whole tobacco monopoly on the Ist of
January, and retain out of its proceeds the inte-
rest and sinking fund necessary for payment on
the obligations, and deposit them in the Bank of
.Italy every three mouths for account of the bond-
holders This point, which renders the obligations
an exceptional security, seems to be regarded in
Italy, with special satisfaction. Many subscriptions
have been made for 30 bonds, so as to insure a
drawing at par of one bond every six mouths.
