LATEST INTELLIGEN(U
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

(From The Globe of last night)

LONDON, MONDAY-EVENING

We understand that a new Russian 44 per cent. Loan of
51 millions strafing will be brought out through the
agency of Messrs. Baring, Brothers, in this city. The
price is 93, and the deposit fixed at 20 per cent. Sub-
scriptions will, it is said, be received by the above-
mentioned firm, during the present week. The price
appears high, when compared with other foreign securi-
ties : and as the money is without doubt wanted to defray
the costs of the Hungarian war, we must presume that it
is intended to preserve intact the bullion said to be stored
in the fort at St. Petersburgh. The alteration of the
Bank rate of interest on loans is explained by this an-
nouncement, and will be favourably regarded by the
public. If there is capital sufficient for the purpose w►th-
out an undue circulation of notes, we have no objection
to foreign loans in the English market; but with the
speculation which has commenced in produce of every
description, it is satisfactory to find that the Directors of
the Bank are alive to the danger with which any additional
excitement wou'd threaten the country. _

PARIS, SUNDAY.—Private letters: from the Depart-
ments, speak of a new state of uneasiness and agitation,
caused by the indecision exhibited by the Legislative
Assembly during the discussions of last week. In the
arrondisements, where the partial elections are in the
course of preparation, the Socialist teachers, whose condi-
tion was to be decided by the Bill, which was the subject
of discussion, were doing their best to continue those
feelings. The working-classes had also begun to show
symptoms of an unwillingness to work, and of consequent
disregard to the authority of the public functionaries.
The unaccountable vascillation of the Assembly was as-
signed as the cause of this state of things.

-PAnis.—The new journal Napoleon says, letters from
Switzerland speak of a meeting of the Red party at
Lausanne on Christmas day; Mazzini and Borchott were
present. A letter was read from Ledru Rollin announc-
ing that everything was ready in France for an attempt at
insurrection, and that the 24th of February would pro-
bably be the day of execution. The National affirms
that the expedition to Monte Video was actually in pre-
paration, notwithstandingthedenial of the Censtitutionnel.
Rumours of a coup d'etat, wanting other news, still con-
tinue current, but they have no foundation. It having
been stated that Fould, the Minister of Finance, had
made the following observation :—" The National Assem-
bly is lost in the esteem of the country. It must be put
an end to before long ;" the Pattie contradicted the state-
ment, and cautioned the public not to believe such silly
rumours. The names of 50,000 persons, not entitled to
vote, have been struck off from the list of voters of Paris.
The French fleet has left Ourlac, but its destination is not
known. The English fleet is said to have left Mancimese
for Malta.

The Sultan has presented the Grand Vizar with £20,000,
and £lO,OOO to each of the other members ot his cabinet,
as a reward for their patriotism .and noble conduct in
thwarting the designs of Russia. The assembly, in its
sitting of Sarurday, rejected every proposition for the
alteration of its place of meeting. Any allusion as to the
transitory character of the present legislature was received
with approving cheers and laughter. The arrivals in
Paris of the Spanish and Italian mails are delayed by the
heavy falls of snow. The Illoniteur calls on the public to
say who are the high personages, who it says have shared
three or four million francs, gained by the forces, rises on
the funds, and who are now preparing a fall to profit in a
similar manner. The government organ, Constitutionnel,
has seven columns of extracts from the provisional press,
praising the president and his policy. The president's
supposed authorship of the articles in the new journal,
Napoleon, causes much talk in Paris, and the 5 per cents.
were done to-day at 94 10. A fall ot 15 centimetres con-
tinues on Saturday's prices.

The Globe gives as a rumour that Sir James Duke will
second the address in the House of Commons.
A Cabinet Council will be held on Thursday next.
Lord John Russell was to arrive in town to-day for the
season. Sir Charles and Lady Wood return to town
to-morrow.
