Affairs In France
The Times correspondent says that the
Count de Persigny has left Paris on his return
to London. The Minister of War had issued
an order to all colonies of regiments to send
home all soldiers whose absence had been re-
called after the declaration of war against Aus
tria, and likewise all those who are entitled by
their services to leave of absence for six
months, so that they may be at the disposal of
the farmers who may require them for getting
in the harvest.
There is no change to be noticed in the COM
mercial situations Of France. The accounts
from the agricultural districts are not unfavor-

injury. The barley crop is not expected to be

The harvest altogether will exceed that of
given ordinary year, and there will be an over
plus for expectation.
