The Revolution in France and unsettled political
condition OF some other Continental States, with the
consequent money and commercial panic throug hout
great part of Europe are Of course very seriously
el IN this Country, in great arrangement of trade
and prostraton of confidence. Though political tran
quillty is restored surprising degree in France
yet its financial affairs in deplorablc state Of
confusion and depression. The National per cent.
Stock has fallen from 49, at which it stood previous
the outbreak TO 40 per cent? and in the shares of the
great National Railways, much more considerable
fall has taken place. At the last dates from Paris the
tendency was still downwards showing a total want
OF confidence in Capitalists while in the commercial
community, not only Of France bun also of Holland
Germany, &C. the utmost distrust and gloom prevail
In this country, no serious political disturbances
are apprehended, but altogether free from
uneasness, lest the tranquility of the Manufacturing
districts should be interrupted by the partially en-
ployed operatives who at Glasgow and Manchester
have manifested disorderly spirit.
