TO Editor Of@e Evening Teiegraph;-

memorable in the annals of the Bourse. Public
securities, French and foreign fell to terribly low
ebb, and one would almost have thought that we had
returned TO the time Of the commencement of the
Crmean war .. ..r ..-..-
The following reports were being circuated:-
Prussia had just signed of ensive and defensive
treaty with Italy; war would shortly be proclaimed
between Austria aud Prussia; rurkish army to the
amount of sixty thousand marching on th)
Danubian PrincIpates. SO much for foreign
affairs. As regards home affairs, 1t was affirmed that
general bankruptcy was imminent, and chat two
of the greatest sockbrokers of Pais were about to
suspend; and, finally that the Credit Mo6itier and
the Compton a. d'Escompte were IN most dsa strouS
state There is evidently mat1iSe everywhere, and
mono can tell what day may bring forth,
GENERAL BELIZE IN WAR.
War, IL is believed on all sides, is inevitable, the
first of the two German powers which draws back
is sure of losing its influence forever. Bismark,
who wishes to play the part of Cavour in Prussia,
will never give way Italy, which is driven into
cor or by want OF money, Will not let such favor
able oppor unity 20 by without attempting to REGAIN
yenetie You see we have every reason to fear that
Prussia, Austria, and Italy will have recourse to
war to cover their multitude of slrs" at home.
STATE OF HOME AFFAIRS WITH u.s.
We are even more anxious about the turn that
matters will ta6e with us. 1t will be a wonder 1t
the reactIonary tendencies the part OF great
many supporters of Government 40 not urge
the people of France to extreme measures. We are
fooled to the top OF our bent.
DIsCoNTENT IN THE ARMY
The enthusiasm for the Empire seems to have
much abated in tne army since the decree of last
year redu ing tho expenditure. On the tn of
March grand review of the cavalry and artillery
was held IN the BOs de BoulO gne, in the presence
OF the Emperor and the Crown Prince OF Denmark;
but the usual cries OF VtUe PEmperem were, we
remarked, few and far bstween and we are assured
that II. l. n, was very much vexed at the GOODNESS
OF the reception
DIVERS INTRIGUEs

The general opinion of the public is that the
present Ministry cannot exist much longer, and
that Monsieur Rouher will take the lead followed
by Monsieur Lavaette, Minister of the Interior, who
are comp etely worn out by lncessant work of the
most thankess kind. Besides which, NJ. Lavalette
is longer in the good books of MASTER for hav
ing allowed the pu0lic press Of France to publish
hattering accounts of the exied family of Orleans,
when giving q description OF the funeral of Marie
AmelIe, eX Queen OIL the French. AS i'll luck would
have it, q number of the Government q penny paper
fell into the hands of his Majesty, containing q
laudatory Article the pretender to the throne OF
France, the Count de Paris. His anger knew no
bounds and he accused the Minister of the Interior
OF wInking at the peccadil Oes of the press
A few days later an anecdote, published in the
Figaro one of our comlcal bi-weekly papers, was
the cause of an energetic reprimand the editor De
Vlllemessant, at the mstrgatlon OF the PIussian
envoy. The anecdote pub ished by the witty journal
is as follows:-"COunt Bismark was lew days ago
unpleasantly surprised, when wishing to get out of
railway carriage, to find that political non sym
patbizer had naled The door. The ambitious pre-

effect; and the tain started again without anybody
coming to the rescue. The police have for some
time been looking for the perpetrator but in VAN.

The Government does not feel easy as the latest ad

cordial reception the part of the Alsatians, and
that it will in any way be hard run Tor the Gov

MONSIEUR MIREs.
Mires, the banker and martyr the object of so
many prosecutions, is now on his legs again. Two
das ago. more than 1000 of Mlres shareholders were
assembled ill the Cirque to hear hrs statement. The
clever Hebrew speeulator was received with thun-
ders of applause, and 1t more than quarter of
an hour before he could address his numerous au-
dience. When at lat allowed to speak, he begged
OF the shareholders to authorize him to purchase
Journal whose aim it should be to defend their in
teIest and expose to the public in general the con-
spiracy which had tried to crush him. He refased
to accept the offer OF the shareh )ldes to pay off his
debts. Before separating the enormous sum offteen
hundred thousand francs were subscribed, in order
to enable MiTes to carry out his intention or pur
