such countries as Turkey and Egypt which are
hardly to be called civilized, and which only

money wanted for such q country as France
which is at the centre OF civilization,
and which has paid interest through SO many revO
lutions, should have been obtained very quickly.
There are, OF course objections to it; but one can
not conceive any probability that any succeeding
French government will question the power OF the
present government to bind the nation; and though
France will be In need OF much economy and great

It Is trang with public credit to suppose that such

Power of France for Recupern,ion.
IFrom the Lond0n Hines, Oct. 2s.l

[FTUM lHc LUHUU1 IIuIUS, UCI' 1oI -.
The English money market has been moved this
week by new sensation. A French war loan Tor
the nominal amount Of f10, 600 has been offered
TO investors In this country on terms which seem to
lators in foreign stocks. The prospectus was issued
on Monday afternoon; on Tuesday and yesterday
the Stock Exchange could scarcely think or anything
else and the subscription list was closed for London
last night with favorable prospects. the confidence
which snrewd men OF business have thus SHOWN IN
her public credit and in the financial integrity
OF tfie nation and OF those who at any time may
rule her Is assuredy remarkable. To all
appearance France lies pr0slrate and helpless at
the feet Of o conquering Power; after tremendous
exertions and appalling sacrifices she mas ialled IN

OF an immense pecuniary indemnity. After all that
she has had to pay and provide already, after the
imp0vershment or all her resources, and even con-
sderng the gigantic burden which will be laid upon
her as the price Of peace, the English money market
takes up the loan France asks for with unexampled
avidlty There Is surely good omen In this for the

officers, IN the midst Of a ranst0rm which turned
the soil OF the plateau into Deep slippery but

remarkable as an exhibition OF penetrating and far.

guns, and finally, mortars OF the old fashion, throw

variety OF types presented IN the siege nsatestel.
Prussia cannot have contemplated great sieges, at
all events, for here find mortars OF very ancient
pattern from Cobenz with dates indicating that
they were cast q hUadred years and more ago; one,

THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

The Constitutional Convention having
completed its work, we present the re-
suit Of its labors before the people in the
shape of a new Constitution for the State.
The crowded state Of our columns deny
us the space this morning to review the
work of the Convention, or to point out
specifically its excellencies or defects,
which will, perhaps, suggest themselves
readily to the mind of every intelligent
and rejecting reader.
We may, however, observe that what
ever may be the objections to some of its
parts by one class of people, or to other
of its parts by other classes
of people, we look upon it, as a
whole, as better than the old Constitution.
The Convention has seen proper to sub
nit only one question to the popular vote
in the matter-''New Constitution" or
cold Constitution" We are left to
choose, and whether we would approve
or disapprove of the new Constitution,
we are sure that upon a careful analysis
of both, there are few who would not
prefer the new to the old. During the
tendency of the question we shall have
occasion to refer at length to the subject
in the meantime commencing the new
organic structure of the State to the
careful perusal and patriotic judgment of
all those who will be called to vote upon
its ratification.
