FiII)IXFORT, Fr.B. 17.

Reports have lately been received of the reaulnt which have
been brought back by the travellers of several great houses from
the Netherlands, England, &c. with respect to the.dernand for
German wool. They are of a very unfavourable description, and
even dispel the hopes that have been hithert6 entertained that
the fair would bring a more satisfactory conjuncture for the
trade in this most important article of German produce. With
respect to the subscriptions to the Darmstadt Lottery Loan, a
report, which is, however, unauthenticated, is in circulation.
anil is, perhaps, rather the expression of a wish on the part of
the persons interested, though little objection could be made to
the execution of the idea. The report is, that the Grand Ducal
Government intends to negotiate a loan at 4 pet cent, in which
the tickets of the lottery loan would be taken in payment at 92.
We cannot judge here how far such an operation would be to
the interest of the Grand Duchy, but there are persons
who affirm that this interest would be by no means
affected by it, because the Government would have
the advantage of obtaining on reasonable terms the sums
necessary to pay off the 6 per cent. debt, especially As a
great part of the present holders of the tickets would hasten to
make the payments to get rid of paper, which is at present so
depreciated, in consequence of an unfavourable opinion ori.
ginating perhaps in intrigues rather than founded on solid
grounds.

BERLIN, FEri. 11.
The rapid succession of numerous bankruptcies has indeed
ceased, (within these few days only one house, and that riot a
considerable one, has failed), but the consequenceof them, Jig-
trust,. stagnation of business, the timidity of •tho ,housek that
have with difficiilty stood their ground, are severely. felt, and
in this point of view it cannot be said that the crisis is quite
over.

It is universally reported that his Majesty the King will this
year visit East Prussia. It is hoped that his presence .will be
a means of reviving the prosperity of that province, which is
sunk to a very low ebb.—( ..11/genteine Zeitoog, Feb. 22.)
