the past week gloomy enough to account for the
heavy fall of funds at the Bourse and Of the French
mercurisl temperament everywhere.
The correspondent of the London Times, in his
letter Of the lSth rays that none Of the disastrous
news sfloat on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, was
known among official people. But official people
are rarely In hurry to spread DISASTROUS news;
aud, whatever the details may have been, it is diff
cult to account for the silence Of the Mbniteur,
otherwise than By the conjecture that some such
news must have been received At the Ministry OF
War. The same correspondent alludes to the re-
port on Sundsy that the Emperor vas i'll: hui,"

OF the anxiety at the Bourse on Saturday afternoon,
and of the sort Of panic among the speculstora on
the Boulevards, in the evening. The rapid sales
which were MADE, and the heavy fall of the three
per cents, were attributed by some to the anticipa

motives for convoking the Legislature on the I'd OF
