The report, communicated by Paris CORES
pondent that the ports of Algeria were about to be
declared free is thus cOntradicted by the Nonear:
Several journals have announced, for some days
past, that the government OF the Emperor is con-
templating the PRODUCTION OF important modihca-
tiOns in the commercial regime of Algeria These
pretended projects, and the discussion to which
they have given rise have excited some uneasiness
in the manufacturing districts; but in order to put
stop to the rumors, it is sufficient to say that the
government has never entertained the thought ot
making any change in the custom laws which are
in force in Algeria and which determine its rela-
tions with France.
THE RECENT ADVANCE IN THE FRENCH

which had previously existed must have been taken
off. What that weight and what were the
considerations for its removal those only can pre-
tend to Judge who may have opportunities for
fathOming imperial secrets. Suffice it to record
that up to within few weeks back and for long
preceding period, there was something on the po-
litical mind of France which rendered the rentes
worth five six per cent. less than their present
price. Either the alarmists were right at that pc
riod or the buoyancy now is ridiculous-the more
so since if the statement OF Lord Derby govern
ment that they are not aware OF France haVlhg
during the past year two made any eXtraordl-
nary warlike preparations, is correct, our own
course, by greatly increasing our defences, must
have been calculated to offend the natural suscep-
tbilites of that nation at the time when their rea
tons had Just passed from the friendly even to the
confidential stage Consequently, neither specula-
ton, money or the cordialities OF the Brltsn Gap-
net have primarily had anything to do with the
matter. All that we know is, that instead OF our
affairs in India going from bad to worse, as was an
ticipated, the rebellion has been wonderfully

that at the same time, owing to the patriotism oil
the aarmists, and the visit of the House of Com
mons to Cherbourg, England has been put in good
state of deense that all at once, under these cir
cumstances, things have become very bright and
pacific among our neighbors, and that they seem to
have arrived at understanding by a sort of free
masonry that thoughts of aggression on the one
side or OF a coming hour OF supreme Illumination
the other may confidently be dismissed, and that
for the next twelve months at all events, com
merce, rentes and shares, will again be worthy OF
attention.
The papers from Madrid are dated to the 14th
ult
Things in Madrid seemed approaching a crisis
However unf unded may be the persistent rumors
of coming disturbances there hardly be a
doubt that 0Donnell must soon take some
decided political position. 1t is the intention Of
those progresistas who have accepted office (some
OF them, Messrs. Luzuriaga and ROda, high pO-
sitions in the government) to resign if the Premier
does not frankly adopt liberal course. 1t is
thought that modification of the ministry Is I'M
minent. The elections to take place early in
October, and will doubtless be attended with great
excitement.
The Madrid Gazette of the 14th ult., publishes

The Gazette contains Royal decree, by which

that the Cabinet, in the bill on the press, which it
