Foreign Miscellany.
The King of Naples is increasing his army.
Swiss recruits are constantly arriving.
The news from the Cape is more gloomy than
ever. The war has not yet really begun 1t is
thought that Krel, Patio, Umhala, and Morsheh,
will all join the war party.
The Prussian Post Office has suddenly, and with
out notice, raised the postage on English news
papers more than thrce-fold the former am punt.
1t is as well to state that the postage of London
journal to Berlin is nearly three times the price of
it. As the English postage on foreign journal
is only halfpenny, something should be done
speeding this enormous difference.
Nj. CADET has arrived in Paris, and has already
commenced the necessary proceedings connected
with his appeal relative to the sentence which had
been pronounced against him by the orrestionL
police.
M. Moerenhout, ex-Consul of France at Monte

cisco to Paris in fifty days, vid Panama.
NoRwAY.-A letter from Christiana Norway,
10Th ult., says;-The loan which the Storthing mas
authorised urgovernment to contract, in order to
cover part OF the expenses of the constru ,tion,
which Is about to commence, OF the netway of rail-
ways of the Lake of Mjoesen, amounts TO GI ,2OJ,-
0OO Qhirty millions of francs), and W IL bear in
terest at per cent. per annum. This loan has
Just been negotiated with the banking houses of
Salon On Heine, of IIamburgh, and G. J. Hambro
and Sons, Of London, at the rate of ~. The pre-
vious loan contracted in 1915, and which at the
same rate of interest, the government only OBJ
tanned 81. This difference between the two rates
of has i'm cd
abroad, and which can only be attributed to the
tranquility which our country has enjoyed a.
home, while so many of the other states of Europe
have been the theatre of such terrible commissions.
TRADE IN FRANcE.-The most recen, commercial
letters received from various parts of France rep
resent affairs as somewhat recovering from the
gloomy appearance they some days since
The manutac. urers have received numerous orders
for the great fair OF Beaucaire, which will be held
in July. The travellers who have returned from
London, highly pleased with their visit, have re-.
ceived many promises, and the stock of goods
among the shopkeepers being now much reduced, the
manufacturers expect to be speedily engaged in
full work. The Paris tradesmen ad nit that the
last week has been beneficial one for them. The
return, though tardy, of summer weather, has in
duced numbers to purchase summer clothing, and
the fancy shops, particularly, have made extensive
sales. The accounts from Lyons are also more
favorable. Silks have risen in price, although it s
now ascertained that there will be but few exports
to the United States this season, the Americans
who were the best customers for silk goods,
being now overstocked Agricultural produce
continues to rise in the various markets, and
bread would be much higher in Paris but for the
immense supplies Of -four in the stores Flour of
the first quality has been sold, within the last few
days, at Aft the highest price at which it has been
quoted since the commencement of the year.
Wheat is in good demand, at an advance of 30
confines the hectoltre and several contracts adj
vertised by the Ministerial War for the delivery
Of wheat at Lyons, Strasburg, and other to WINS,
have not been concluded, in consequence of the
maximum fixed by the minister being less than
the market price. The wine market a. Bercy is
still dull; buyers and sellers are waiting for the
season to be more advanced in order the better to
judge of the approaching vintage.
TURKEY AND THE Holy SEpuLcHRE.-The Co
osme Gasdte has the following from Constan nople,
dated the 18th ultimo The new French ambassa-
DOR M. dc Lavelette, has had a private audience
Of the Sultan, at which he delivered his letters of
credence, and presented the persons attached to the
embassy. He is particularly charged by the repub-
lie to urge the rights Of the Catholic Christians
over the Holy Sepulchre against the Greek Chris
ans and to this effect he presented to his hghness
two autograph letters, couched in the most ener-
getic terms, from the President and from the Pope
NJ. de Titow, the Russian ambassador, has deliver
ed to the Ottoman Porte memorandum, which
very much resembles a formal protest, in which he
adds the following reasons to those which, have
been already advanced in faver Of the rights of
Russia over the Sepulchre I'll. About 6fty years
since, quarrel broke out between the Greeks and
the Armenans, on the subject of the Holy Sepul-
chre. A commission, formed Of three ulemas, two
Greek, and two Armenian bishops, terminated the
quarrel, by deciding that it belonged to the Greeks
There were then at Constantinople, a French am
bassador, Catholic bishops, ana legate of the
Pope, but no objection was raised by them. 2
Some years since, after the burning of the temple,
the Greeks and Russia made collections for its re.
construction; II was done, and no Catholic power
protested pretended that the Greeks had built on
ground whi;h did not belong to them. >. France
pretends that the Holy Sepulchre was taken from
Il
treaties with Catholic Christianity. The Holy Sc
pulchre had, however, belon ged to the Greeks be-
lore the Turks and the Moors had possession Of it,
SUPPOSED TRACES or SIR JoHN FRASKLIS.-We
perceive that a morning contemporary gives circu-
lation to report to some supposed traces of Sir
John Franklin. These traces, which are said TO be
" by far the mos. important, presumptive or other
wise, which have yet reached US respecting the
missing expedition consist Of the folio wing:-

men engaged at Stromness for the Prince Albert,
We have the ollown facts, ELECTED aud taken down

that expedition, and others and the statement is
attested by the seaman in question, William Nlillar,

the Prince Of Wales In 1913, when, early in Sep.

Millar formed one. He states that on landiag, the
