France, and Spain have arrived at complete
understanding relative to Mexico. The con

French financial accounts are rather more
satisfactory. The drain on the bank OF France
had subsidized. The rate Of interest on treas
ury bills was further augmented.
1t is reported that the French Senate will

BERNE, Oct. 25.-Ihere is no truth in the
statement that the government of Geneva had
requested the Swiss federal troops to be sent
n by,n
ever, called out the military of Canton, for
extraordinary night duty.
The Manchester Guardian publishes cotton
communication from an anonymous person,
whom it introduces as "a gentleman who is in
position to obtain accurate information re-
garding the position and policy of the Con.
iederate States, This gentleman enlightens
the English people as to the reason why cotton
cannot come forward, thus =
= The reasons of this are: l. That
the crop would not be safe there. The north
is known to entertain the design of making
dash at the southern ports and the port III
which the largest quantity OF cotton was stored
would be the port to be first and most des.
pcrately attacked. The cotton factors who
have advanced money 10 the planters on this
years crops are quite aware Of this, and have
themselves protested against the planters,
under advances 10 them, exposing TO risk "a
crop in which they have only qualified
property.
The risk is twofold-that of capture and
that OF fire. II the federal squadrons be una
BILE to take, they may be able to shell and
burn. All cotton insured at a port would be
insured at war rates.
Then, again, the cotton is kept back, be-
cause, TO bring it down to the ports, involves
heavy outlay, and, in the absence Of ship.
ping, this would be an outlay without return.
To get cotton to the riverside costs money
to getit conveyed by river steamers to the
wharf costs money. Why should the planter
spend his five or SIX dollars a bale to have Ills
cotton deteriolate in the wharf, when he can
keep 1t Ill the pens on his plantation, uncleaned,
and so saved from deterioration by the vegeta
bic oil OF the seed ?
But even II risk Or unremunerative outlay
did not keep back the crops on the plantations,
there is another and even more potent reason.
The planters have not got the bagging neces-
sary 1Or making the cotton up into bales. The
blockade keeps out the gunny bags of India, as
well as the cloths of Manchester and Belfast
the steel wares Of Sheffield aud Birmingham
the iron Of Statf0rdshire, and the woolens of
Yorkshire"
"The Constitutional of Oct. 25, in an arti-
Gle signed by DR.. Vera9n, calls attention to

inent bills have generally been presented to
the chamber OF deputies at the end OF the ses-
sion, and attirms that the government is deter
mined to remedy this evil. The subject will
be presented TO the corps legslatit immediate
~ after the opening Of the session, which will
take place at the beginning OF January"
