The money article Of the London Globe Of
the 9Th March states thar an experiment is TO

the British navy with salt provisions from the

LONDON, MARCH D, evening Our advices
this morning from the Continent state that the
drain of bullion upon the Bank Of France
was again increasing. For some time past
parties have been purchasing IN London large
quantities ofcorn for the French markets, and
as they are willing TO give higher prices,
there appears every probability OF a large bus
mess being done ON such account. The drain
of bullion will therefore be enhanced by these
purchases. The opinion that the French Co
vernment will be compelled 10 raise new
loan is more generally entertained. Ii is said
that some of the Bank OF France directors are
in favor of further raising the rate of interest,
but it is not believed thai such measuse will
be adopted.
