FALLEN GRANDEES.
vicissitudes of French Ex- Ministe

Jersey correspondent of the Independence Beige
describes the influx into that island OF fugiives
from France, and states that the Consul, who hith-
erto had enjoyed well paid sinecure, is we'll
nigh overwhelmed with demands upon his official
assistance at a time when his appointment from the
Imperial Government appears to be in danger OF revo
cation. at present three distinguished ex-members
of the Conse Prive are in Jersey NJ. Baroche has
tab en- comfortable house in Almorah-crescent, st.
Helier'S. M Rouher lives in a more modest stsle,
in small cottage at St Aubns few miles from
ST. Ielier's. The correspondent of the Independence
states that NJ. Rouher declares himself to be poor,
and lives very retired; but he is generally credited
with being the prime agent OF active political in
tTgues, for the purpose OF which jersey situate be-
tween London and France is convenient position
for maintaining communications. The third dis
tinguished visitor is M: Dronyn de Lhuys who
is said to have brought with him five great
and ponderous chests, the contents OF which
are reported to be exceedingly valuable,
vaults of the Mercantile Bank. NJ
Drouyn de Lhuys complains greatly Of his misfor-
tunes and the devastation of his property in the
Department OF the Seine-et-Marne by the Prussian
scription Of how their residence in the Champs
Elysees was invaded by mob, and her concierge i'll
treated and imprisoned. 1t is also particularly
affirmed that Marshal lie B9uf fed from the coast
Of France about three weeks since iu an open boat
which was compelled to put in at the island OF
Chaussey. After remaining there one night the
Marshal engaged another boat to convey
him to Jersey, where he arrived without any lug
gage, and, after sojourn for two days at the Yacnt
Hotel, departed for an unknown destination. "It is
evident that Jersey has been made a rem ieZvous for
Bonaparrists OF the first rank and never before has
Jersey seen so much gold and silver. Mountains OF
boxes, chests, and other luggage discharged from
every vessel and ls curious TO watch the counte-
nances OF the refugees as they resume possession OF
their precious property, which seem TO Indicate
thankfulness that although France may be lost yet
their luggage is safe The Jersey banks have
francs in French gold deposited with them by about
thirty dismissed functionares.

The demand for money is only moderately
active both from speculative aud business bor-
rowers, all pressure for funds having completely
subsided. The supply is ample for current re-
quiremeDts, and loans subject TO call are readily
obtained on Government bonds at per cent.
On miscellaneous collateras the ruling rate is q
per cent. The best commercial paper is nego-
tiated at 7@9 per cent, with little stress laid
