FRANcE.-We have an interesting letter from
our correspondent in Paris, which will be given
tomorrow.
Mr. Canning was to leave Paris for London
on the evening of the 25th October.
Talma, the great tragedian, died on the 10Th
in Paris, of an affection Of his bowels. He was
Inferred in the cemetery of Pere Lachaise On
the Dist with much ceremony. The throng
that attended the funeral was immense. Talma
was e6 years Of age, and has left widow. The
persons connected with the Theatre Francois
voted 1000 francs 10 erect monument to his
memory.
The late fire at ConstantinopIe had caused
much uneasiness among certain houses in Mar
settles, who had made advances on consign-
ments from that city of nearly halfa million.
| We are assured that orders have been sent
to Brest, by telegraph, TO get out with all des-
patch, the frigale La Clorinde. This vessel is
to carry the diplomatic agent who is sent to A
merica to announce the recognition Of the new
Republic by France. We give this news, says
the Journal DIES Debats, from another Journal.
We are earnestly DESTROYS to receive its conhr-
nation.
A letter Of recent date from Bayonne, an
nounces that several commercial houses in that
town have suffered severely by the numerous
failures that have recently taken place in Spain.
| Heavy rains the mouth OF the river
Rhone have caused great destruction. AS high
up as Vaucluse the water swept away focks of
sheep, and even shepherds.
| While he va y.nup IF r mi &c several mil.
lions below the estimate, the revenue Of France,
during the first nine months of this year, ex
ceeds the revenue of the corresponding nine
months of last year, by the sum Of l3,o6o,OoO
fir and exceeds the estimate made from the re-
ceipts Of 1924, 23,57S 900 fr. This increase in
the French revenue indicates growing pros-
perily and well-being. More than one half Of
the increase is in the customs: one sixth part is
in the excise. There is great increase in the
stamp duties The diminution is principally
caused by lottery.
Disturbances have occurred in the city of
Brest to such degree, that the Governor has
issued a proclamation, in which he charges
them upon few strangers.
| The vintage in France is very abundant. In
the neighborhood Of Paris the vineyards have
been much more productive than usual; and
there, as well as in Burgogne, Champagne and
| pOrleandais, they have not had casks enough
| for the wine.
1t is stated as singular circumstance, that
precisely those parts of the country which have
no facilities for transportation to foreign pla-
ces, have been the most favored this year as
well as the last, when the vintage was also very
good.
GREAT BR1rA1N.-Our accounts are from
London 10 the 23d, and Liverpool to 22d Oct
A meeting of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen and
Common Council of London had taken place,
for the purpose Of petitioning Parliament for
repeal of the corn law, and to effect re-
duction OF the public expenses. The meeting
viewed with alarm the actual state of the coun-
try when the agricultural and manufacturing
population is reduced after so many years Of
peace to live on subscriptions and aims, when
the interests of navigation and commerce are
compromised, the public revenue diminished
and the number Of crimes increased to fright
full degree. 1t said, moreover, that the
corn law adopted under the specious pretext of
favoring the general interests Of English Agri-
culture, had no other effect than TO keep the
funds at their highest rates.
1t was reported in London on the goth, that
Ministers would propose TO Parliament tax
of five per cent on all real property, and that
in order to make the measure less burdensome
to the owners of lands and the public funds, The
assessed tax" would cease to be exactcd. Ac-
cording to the Sun, the effect of the measure
would be TO raise on the amount Of dividends
paid 10 the public, l,5ooOook
An English paper announces that Sir Wal
ter Scott would leave London for Paris on the
26th. 1t appears 10 be certain that the illus
trious author of Waverly has nearly finished
his "Life of Napoleon" 1t is to be issued in
February next, and will form six large octave
volumes.
Some OF the English papers lately spoke of
an unexpected treaty of commerce between
Great Britain and Haiti; but the London Star
now states, that Mr.. Mackenzie has refused to
enter into negotiations with the Government of
that Island, until they shall show more of a dis
position to fulfil their stipulations with France.
This however is very improbable story

in honor of the coronation of the Emperor of
Russia. 1t is said it cost 6o,oook Among the |
guests was the American Minister.
