London, England, 1845-11-07 00:00:00

Fives 10c. lower than on the previous day. In most of the
principal railway shares, especially the Paris and Rouen, a
decline has taken place, from a scarcity of money required to
meet other engagements. The Paris journals contain a
variety of intelligence not without interest. The Jour-
nal des Debats contains an account, however, from its
Macao correspondent, which forms rather an excep-
tion. The letter exteng to more than fij columns,
and furnishes details of the ratifications of a treaty be-
tween China and France, in which we find nothing new
respecting the treaty, or the manners and customs of the
Chinese. " The ceremony," says the writer, "took place on
the 24th October, 1844, near the Bogue, in the village of Tai-
pin-Hieou, and in the house of the Chinese Admiral who
commands the naval forces on the station. The treaty
having been signed on board the Archimede steamer, that is
to say, according to the laws of nations on the French terri-
tory, it was by a feeling of just reciprocity agreed that the
exchange of the ratifications should be made on the
territory of the other contracting party. As the
Chinese, however, will never be behind hand in politeness
with any body, it was arranged that on the evening before
the day fixed for the ceremony, the Imperial Commissioner
himself should pay a visit to M. DE LAGRENE, on board the
Cleopatre, in the roadstead of the Bogue." Another letter
from Macao, of the 31st of August, announces that M. DE
LAGRENE was preparing to visit the five ports of the north,
and that he will return by Suez to France, where he is ex-
pected to arrive in April.
According to accounts from Paris the rise in the price of
provisions began to create alarm. "Provisions," says one of
the journals, " are every day becoming dearer in Paris. Po-
tatoes are now double the price they were a month ago. The
price of other vegetables rises in the same proportion. Poor
families are already beginning to feel severely the effects of
the bad harvest. If this rise in the price of provisions in-
creases in the same proportion for only one month, the neces-
saries of life will become beyond the reach of the indigent."
The accounts from the country are of a similar character, and
preparations were in progress for relieving the poor in case of
a dearth. The Municipal Council of Strasburg, following
the example of Mulhouse and Nancy, had voted money for
the purchase of 7,000 metrical quintals of wheat in foreign
markets. The wheat is to be stored, and should a rise in
price take place it will be retailed during the winter to the
poor at prime mt. These instance of humanity are
honourable to France ; and we therefore regret to find
in one of the Paris journals a spirit displayed of
such a malignant character, that, were it generally adopted
lay Frenchmen, would excite universal indignation. The
Presse, the faithful representative of Queen CHRISTINA'S
sentiments, taking for granted that the English Govern-
ment is about to throw open the ports, calls on the French
Ministry to be on its guard, and prevent the English from
coming to France and carrying off food to satisfy their
hunger. After some introductory remarks about the diffi-
culty of regulating the price of provisions, it says :
" Ten laws have been enacted on the subject sine* the year
1841, not one of which has received a definitive solution, as if the
most general interests were those worthy of the least attention;
and now, in :the midst of that abundance with which Providence
has been pleased to enrich us, in: the midst of general distress,
a measure about to be adopted in a foreign country me-
naces our security. Will this fact be considered a suffi-
ciently grave warning for our improvidence ? Our labouring
population must have bread and employment. We have, thank
God, both one and the other this year. Let us take care of them,
and for that reason let us prevent the English from. coming to sa-
tisfy their hunger at the expense of those gifts which God has re.
served fur us. This is a sad necessity, no doubt, and at which our
humanity ought to lament. It would be more chivalrous to sacri-
flee ourselves for our neighbours, but good policy is not always
consistent with chivalry. The French Government ought to take
care of the French population, before it melts into pity for the
sufferings with which Ireland is menaced. England is, moreover,
sufficiently rich, and has too many modes of acting in the two
hemispheres, to be seriously embarassed in supplying the deficiency
of her crops. It is not for us, who have only as much as we want
for ourselves, to supply her. We repeat, therefore, if the mea-
sure in contemplation in Englat.d be carried into effect—if England
open her ports to the free importation of corn, our Government
ought to close ours. It is the right, as it is the duty of that
Government."
On Wednesday morning the Invalides roused Paris by the
firing of twenty-one guns, for the safe accouchement of the
Princess DE JOINVILLE, which took place at St. Cloud. The
Princess was delivered of a son, who had received the title of
Duke DE PENTIIIEVRE. The accounts in the afternoon stated
that both the Princess and her son were as well as could be
expected. According to the Journal des Debats, the Duke
of BORDEAUX was about to pay a visit to the Emperor of
RUSSIA, at Palermo. We learn from the Marseilles journals
that COMAS BELTRA3II, BIANCOLI, PAST, and VITELLAND
Dr. ANDE.EINI, the Advocate RIENZI, and Signor GRUNDI,
chiefs in the late insurrection in Romagna, who had been de-
tained in the prisons of Tuscany, have been set at liberty, by
order of the Grand Duke, and have arrived at Marseilles by
the Levant packet the Sesostris. Such conduct does great
honour to the Grand Duke, and is a marked reproof of the
wretched system of Government persevered in by the Court
of Rome The following are miscellaneous extracts from the
continental papers :
" The State Gazette of Lucerne of the let instant contains the
following Last evening S. Muller, of Stecbenzsin, confessed
that he had assassinated M. Leu with a fowling-piece, in which he
had placed a carbine bullet. He told where he had hid his wea-
pon, which was found where he pointed out. He acknowledged,
besides, that he had twice watched M. Leu for the purpose of
shooting him. This confession agrees with the result of the
official investigation. He declares, also, that he did not act
through a spirit of vengeance, but from being promised a sum of
money by M. Leu's political enemies. Dr. Casimer Plyffer was
arrested immediately, by order of the Judge d'lnstruction. Other
arrests have also taken place, and great agitation reigns in the
town. Troops have been sent for. The Grand Council is con-
yoked for the 3d instant. It is believed that this confession was
extorted from Muller.'
" In consequence of a decision of the Board of Health at Naples,
dated the 17th and 20th ult., on the occasion of the Eclair, the
entrance of French produce which has traversed the ocean has been
refused to captains of our ships. Our Ambassador has thereupon
made strong remonstrances to the Neapolitan Government. The
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the kingdom of the Two Sicilics, the
Prince de Scilla, made the same answer to M. de Montebello which
he had given the day before to the English Ambassador, viz.--
That his government was an entire stranger to this measure ; the
Board of Health at Naples, as well as those at Genoa, Nice, Leg
horn, Civita Vecchia, and the other ports of Italy, was completely
independent' Notwithstanding this system the Ambassadors per-
sist, and it is hoped that the Board of Health will submit to the
opinion of the King's Government.
" The Augsburgh Gazette has the following from Constanti-
nople, dated the 15th ult. : —The news from Syria has caused great
agitation here.. It is reported that the day before yesterday the
representatives of the foreign powers met in conference at Count
Sturmer's. When M. de Bourqueney received the account of the
acquittal of the Druse Chief Abou Neked by a tribunal convoked
by Chekib Effendi, his indignation was extreme. He was on the
point of requiring an audience of the Sultan to demand that this
judgment should be annulled, and if be met with a refusal to make
preparations for his departure. The strong representations of his
colleagues, and particularly of the Austrian and British ambassa.
dors, succeeded in inducing him to renounce this determination,
that could only have produced serious results, which, under pre.
sent circumstances, would not have been justifiable The position
of the French ambassador is peculiar from his having to exercise
an extensive protection. There are in Syria twelve convents, the
Catholic religion having been established there from the time of
Sr. Louis."

We have received Madrid journals of the 30th ult. An
English messenger, it appears, had arrived with dispatches
from Lord ABERDEEN, and some of the papers infer that he
had brought important intelligence relative to the marriage
of the QUEEN and her sister. The Espectador says, the
British Cabinet had forwarded a note to the Spanish Govern-
ment, in which it protests against the contemplated marriage
between the QUEEN'S sister and the Duke DE MONTI'ENSIER,
al least, till her MAJESTY shall be married and:have issue.
The banishment of the confessor to Don FRANCISCO DE
PAULA was still a subject of conversation. According to the
Eco. del Comercio, he had been ordered to repair to Albacete,
his native place, notwithstanding a favourable audience he
had obtained of the Queen-Mother, to whom he had
represented that her sister, the late Infanta Dona
CARLOTA, had, on her death-bed, desired him to remain
with her sons. No reason is assigned for the order.
Martial law had been proclaimed at Malaga on the 28th
October, in consequence, as appears by a proclamation of
General BRETON, of the discovery of some military con-
spiracy. The Globo states that Ministers had assured their
friends that, previous to the meeting of the Cortes, the nego-
tiations with the Court of Rome would be brought to a suc-
cessful issue, the QUEEN acknowledged, and the sale of the
Church property sanctioned. The scheme for raising the
funds had succeeded, and stocks continued to rise. On the

30th no quotations appeared in the official bulletin, but in a
note the editor gives the following prices :—The Three per
Cents. closed at 35 for cash, and 354 at a short date; the
Five per Cents., at 241/ cash, and 243/ foftimo ; the Coupons,
at 251/.'2 ; and the Debt without Interest, at 8 and 84.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
_ CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000
bales, including 350 Carthaginian at 3d., 150 Maranham at
5%d., 200 Surat at 21,id. to 34d., and American at 3d. to
54d. per lb. The market was steady. Shares were very
flat again.
In the Third Edition of The Sun of last evening appeared
an intimation of the following notice from the Bank of
England. It was issued at too late an hour to htsve appeared
in the Afternoon Edition :
" The Bank of England has advanced the rate of interest
on bills at ninety five days, discounted by them, to 3lh per
cent."

Of the importance and necessity of this step no doubt caf2
exist. The Bank Directors wish to make money for their
proprietors, as well as provide for any material alteration in
the exchanges that may occur, should a material alteration
be effected in the corn-laws. Not a doubt is entertained but
that some change is imperatively required, and the modus
operandi is what is required to be known in the City. There
is but one feeling among mercantile men, as to the delay
that has already occurred on the subject of the issuing of the
Order in Council, as it checks business in many of its im-
portant branches, and, if much longer continued, will entail
many difficulties in conducting operations for a considerable
length of time.

The Funds are affected by the increased value of mosey,
arid there is a disposition to exercise the greatest caution in
doing businass. Consols have been 95% to 95 for present
transfer, and 95% to 95 for Account. Exchequer-bills have
been quoted 275.:t0 245. premium. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. are 96% to 95%, and the Three per
Cents. 93% to 941 A, Bank Stock is down to 203 and 202.
The market for Foreign Stocks has been very dull, but
Spanish Bonds are better again, the Five per Cents. having
touched 28 and the Three per Cents. 37%. Mexican Stock
has been steady at 311/. Brazilian has declined to 82 and
80. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have realized a
to 581%.
Shares are generally lower.
