the banks of the Bosphorus to one of the castles
of the Dardanelles, much to the dissatisfaction of
the European legations.
The intelligence from Persia is favourable,
and strong hopes are entertained that all the
differences between that country and the Porte
will be amicably arranged. A mutual agree-
ment had been come to by the Commanders of
the Turkish and Persian forces to withdraw their
respective troops from the frontier, in order to
prevent any further collisions.

From Malta we have a confirmation of the
rising of the Arabs against the French in Algiers.
It would appear that up to the 31st of October
the loss of the French, in officers alone, amounted
to twenty-six.

Though no intelligence had reached Constan-
sfantinople of the; rising in Syria, little doubts
remain that serious disturbances had taken
place, and that great discontent prevailed in the
northern district of Lebanon. According to
French accounts from Beyrout, a rising had
taken place in the district of Becher, and the
Albanians sent to restore orderhad been defeated
with considerable loss.

We regret to learn that the mortality among
the cattle in Egypt still continues to a frightful
extent. MEHEMET Au on his way to Cairo bad
stopped at the Delta, where he intended
to remain for some time, in order to inves-
tigate the causes of this dreadful malady.
Before his departure he bad abolished the tax
upon slaves, and had also adopted measures for
providing food for the people, in case the morta-
lity among the oxen should render it impossible
to cultivate the land this season.

The intelligence from Madrid is to the Bth
instant. Reports were in circulation that the
army was to be reduced to 60,000 men, and that
a treaty of commerce, and a loan also, was to be
made with this country. It will be some time,
however, before English capitalists again lend
money to bankrupt States, which seem to have
only one object in view—cheating their creditors.
The Spanish Government is described as sin-
cerely disposed to carry out the first measure
still, from the difficulties which it will have to
encounter, its success is anything but certain.
The Three per Cents. were done at 21/ at sixty
days, and the Five per Cents. at 26 9-16 for cash,
and 27 at sixty days. The debt bearing no in-
terest sold for 51 at sixty days.

We are glad to find by the Paris papers
received, that the new tariff adopted by the
German Union, is opening the eyes of the
French manufacturers, and compelling them to
admit that a state of commercial isolation, such
as the monopolists would establish for France,
would be ruinous to the country. In return for
the Royal ordinance issued in July, directed
chiefly against England, but to a certain extent
injuring also Germany, the Customs' Union
have doubled the duty on most of the articles of
Parisian manufacture. It appears that on Mon-
day the merchants and manufacturers of
the capital, engaged in the foreign trade,
alarmed at this mode of retaliation, had an audi-
ence of the Minister of Commerce, and directed
his attention to the fact, that the new tariff was
almost equivalent to a prohibition of most of the
articles manufactured in Paris. For example,
they said—" Gilt bronze •of the value of 100 f.,
subject by the existing tariff to 25f. duty, will
pay from the commencement of next year me.
A chest of plated goods of the value of 2001.,
which now pays 150 f., will pay hereafter the
enormous duty of 300 f. A bale of stained paper
of the value of 3001., now subject to a duty of
75f., will hereafter pay 150 f. A chest of per-
fumery of the value of 400 f., now paying 200 f.
duty, will hereafter be subject to 400 f., being
100 per cent. on the value. Iron and tin wares,
fine haberdashery, and kid gloves, in the same
proportion. With such extraordinary facts before
their eyes, the undersigned have asked them-
selves what could have been the motive for this
conduct of the German Union? What new mea-
sures taken by our Government could have au-
thorised the commercial interests of Germany to
consider themselves injured?" We have no in-
formation respecting the reply made by the
Minister to this very needless question, but he
might have told them that the new measures
taken by the French Government in July
had compelled the Germans to act in their
own defence, and would probably make
all other countries, one by one, follow the
example till France was left alone in her folly.
The Paris traders seem afraid of such a result,
and ask the Minister to use his influence in pre-
venting the German Union from thus injuring
French
nci manufactures. But the Minister must
begin alt home. He must remove heavy restric-
tions
on imports from other countries, and con- '
vince commercial men that France is ready to
meet them on fair and reciprocal terms. "We
trust,". said the Deputation in conclusion, " that
the German Union has not adopted these mea-
sures for the purpose of isolating itself. Reci-
procal isolation would be as easy as it would
be fatal, and cannot suit enlightened Govern-
ments. Confiding in your anxious solicitude, and
in the benevolent dispositions of friendly nations,
the undersigned trust that the delay of the Ist
of January, adopted
by the Congress of Stut-
gard, will permit the Government to remove the
injurious to the two counties."
