Foreign Notes.

Alta meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday The President stated that the exports
OF Manchester goods to the United States are
now nothing and there is considerable trade n
Manchester in cotton fabrics manufactured in
America.
The opinions of the London papers in regard
to the effect of the dismissal of Midhat Pasha
differ. Some think it foreshadows a more con-
ciliatory policy, while others. including the
Fall Mall Gazette believe it foreshadows more
uncompromislng resistance. The immediate
cause Of Midhat'S removal seems to have been
a refusal on his part to employ foreigners in
the service of the government. The Sultan
was in favor of it and indicated his views to
Midhat, but the latter replied CURLY and suhse
quently wrote letter to the Sultan, couched in
any but deferential language.
There is much suffering in the French silk
district, owing to the suspension of manufac-
turers. The price of raw silk is so high that it
cannot be manufactured profitably. Some be-
lieve that the silk business of Lyons has per-
manently declined, owing to the greater de-
mand for woclens.
