learn from European letters that much uneasiness
was manifested in financial circles in Paris on the

was about to raise loan of 4000 600 0OOf to carry
out his plan, announced in the onitear in January
last, to aid the manufacturers by loan of 100000,
machinery, and thus prepare themselves to COM
pete with the foreign manufacturer under the new
treaty. The rumor was that the sum of 40, ,0000O0f
being found to be insufficient, the Emperor was
determined to increase it to 400, 900 000f IL ap-
pears that such idea was entertained for time,
but was subsequently abandoned

THE CRops IN THE WEsr.-The Chicago Press of
the 23d instant states that its advces lead to the
conclusion that the prospects for a full crop all
over the northwest were never better. The breadth
sown larger than before, and with favorable
weather for few weeks more, the harvest will be
secured and our garners will be full. Kansas and
Northwestern Missouri were exception, but it is
believed the late rains have brought forward the
crops in that section, and will make them largely
exceed the fears entertained by the people few
weeks since. 1t is too soon to form any Judgment
in relation to the corn crop, but thus far it looks
WE'LL and it will doubtless largely augment the gen.
oral abundance.
