The Paris letter of the Courier des Etats U,ns Of
November 2 says "The French houses having com
mercal transactions with the United States watch with
the utmost socitude the phases of the commercial and
financial crisis through which that country is now
passing They make no concealment of the difficult
ties which they have to encounter Their merchan-
disc has been shipped to meet orders in the expect
alton Of receiving remittancos, which they
not hope for so long the banks continue the sus-
pension Of specie payments. STILL the effect of the
crisis will not fall heavily upon French
as may be supposed. Most Of the houses which may
suffer in their trade with the United States are rich
and well able to resist the crisis while others have
adopted measures to themselves and receive
returns for their advances. They have transmitted
orders to their agents in the United States to accept
payment in paper, and immediately to employ it in
the purchase of cereals cotton and sugars for which
they can easily find good market in Europe. 1t is
probable that operations Of this nature viii deter
mine for some time downward tendency in the
