COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

NEW YORK, Nov. 9

MONEY MARKET.—The stock market is buoyant, with
large sales in investment securities as well as speculative
shares. The money market easy, at sto 53 for loans and
at 6 to 61 per cent. for business paper of the best stamp.
Sterling bills of exchange for the Niagara have advanced
} per cent., and may be quoted firm at 10k.
CorroN.—To-day 1.400 bales were sold at lc. to 4c.
advance. The operations in this market since 2d instant
have been to a fair extent in view of the very small stock.
Prices are hilly sustained, with an advance of an c. on
strictly middling to good middling Orleans of good staple,
which are scarce, and much sought after. The southern
markets have all been active during the week under review,
without much change in price ; the bulk of the business
has b: en done for English account. The total receipts at
New Orleans up to the 6th instant, were 350,000 bales ;
last year to same time, 246,000 bales, or an excess of
104,000 bales. At Mobile on the same date. the receipts
were 40,000 bales : same time last year 10,000 bales ;
excess 30,000 bales. The excess at all the ports by mail
dates, amounts to 117,000 bales. By telegraphic dates,
the excess to be shown a week hence will probably be
160,000 bales over the corresponding dates last year.
The new crop estimates are on the increase. The
weather throughout the month of October has been most
propitious, and a crop " equal to last year's" is now
generally a conceded point ; indeed, some parties are in-
dulging in figures consideraly above 3,000,000 bales. Up
to the latest telegraphic dates there has been no frost at
the South.

FOREIGN NEWS.

FRANCE.

The Count de Chambord has issued a protest against
the approaching proclamation of the empire. In this pro-
test he says :—" Whatever may be the designs of God in
reference to you and to me, who have remained the chief
of the ancient race of your kings, the heir of that long line
of monarchs who, during so many centuries have in-
creased, and caused to be reepected the power and fortune
of France, I owe it to myself, I owe it to my family and
to my country, to protest loudly against false and perilous
arrangements. I, consequently, maintain my right, which
is the surest guarantee of yours ; and, taking God to wit-
ness, I declare to France and to the world, that, faith-
ful to the laws of the kingdom and to the tradition of my
ancestors, I will religiously preserve, to my last breath,
the deposit of the hereditary monarchy, of which Provi-
dence has entrusted to me the care, and which is the only
port of refuge where France, the object of our love, may,
after so many storms, at length find rest and happiness."
This protest or manifesto of the Count de Chambord has
been circulated largely in Germany, Belgium, and France.
For the last three or four days thousands of copies,
printed or lithographed at Brussels, have been dispatched
to many parts of France. They were even sent under
cover to the prefects, the sub-prefects, the mayors and the
deputy mayors, and the priests ; and at Dijon and Metz
they were found posted upon the walls. Another docu-
ment," a democratic manifesto," attributed to M. Victor
Hugo, has been distributed, and the object of the author
is to exhort his republican brethren to abstain from taking
any part in the vote.—The Moniteur contains a notice of
a reduction in the French army. It says :—" On the Ist
January, 1848, the ( ffective force of the army amounted
to 380,500. After the revolution it was 446,808. It was
so at the time of the first election of Louis Napoleon.
By successive diminutions, the number on the Ist
January, 1852, had decreased to 400,594 men. His
Highness the Prince President has just given orders to
the Minister of War to reduce it to 370,177. This
effective force will comprise the army of Africa and that
of Rome. On the Ist of December next this important
measure will he realised. It will form a reduction of
more than 30,000 men in less than a year."
Count Thibeaudeau, the regicide, the senior member of
the Senate, and the only survivor of the judges who con-
demned Louis XVI. to death, claims the honour of having
given the single vote against the empire, which has been
generally attributed to Louis Napoleon's old tutor M.
Viellard.

The following is a statement of the movements in cotton
since the Ist of September last, as compared with the
previous three years :
