Panis, October 15, 1847. Sinoe the date of my last, the reform agitation pro- gresses throughout thp provinces. Some thirty or forty meetings, or banquets, as they are called, have been an- nounced, and some have taken place. The nuaibers at- tending these demonstrations, although considerable, are much less imposing than the intelligence, wealth, and professional and commercial eminence of the parties In short, it is evident that the matter begins to give se- rious uneasiness to the government. Weare assured that the cabinet intends to yield to this spirit of pro- gitss, at least so far as to satisfy the exigencies of the moment, and to disarm the opposition,on the opening of the Chambers, of so formidable an instrument of attack. ‘There are two branches in which the public seek for re- form—the one organic and political, the other purely ad- ministrative. The intention at present is to yield on the latter, and it is probable that in the interval between the present time and the opening of the Chambers, a sort of programme, or manifesto, will appear in the min- isterial journals, containing an outline of the aiminis- trative reforms and changes wuich the cabinet intends to propose. If this desga be really carried into effect, ta wa belleve it to be as Present intended, it will give to the Guizot cabinet a new lease of office; for so large a portion of the opposition will be satisfied by it, that the prerent ministerial majority will be augmented to a good ki ant. W Marshal, Bugesucd, the Duke d’Isly, has, it is asid, manifested an intention of joining the opposition of the left centre. Heand M. Thiers are reported to be in per- fect accordance The Duke, who, it will be remembered, was lately Governor of Algeria, is vehement in his dis- Spproatlon ‘of the appointment of the Duke d’Aumale to the governorship of that colony. ‘The opposition will join in this sentiment; but the subject is not one suffl- cirntly exciting dre fe any serious effect upon the sta- bility of the cabinet. Prinoe Jerome Bonaparte, and his son, Prince Napo- leon. having obt: ined the permission of the government, have returned to France and are now in Paris,where they jotend to reside They have taken «hotel in the Champs Elyeées, at the corner of the Rue de Berry.— They were received by the King in private audience, a few days since. Although certain popular manifestation took place on their appearance in public, at the funeral of the Ex-King of Holland, at which ories were beard by the people, recalling the memory of the E peror, these relics of the imperial family appear disposed to withdraw from all such demonstrations, and to live in the retire- ment of private life. It is understood that they willend their days in France. The ecientide world will be concerned to hear of the death of Brogniart, the celebrated mineralogist He died a tew days since at his residence st the reyat manufac- tory at Sevres, of which he was the director. fhe foancial world has just been excited by the im- portant measures of the emission for the new loan of 350 millions of francs, equal to 70 millions of dollars It is ropored to issue this in three per cent stock, by month. je issues of 10 millions of francs, to Le continued until the entire amount has been issued. It is understood that the contract, which will be concluded next month, will be taken by the nouse of Rothschild, and that seve- Fal of the Reeclvers General have agreed to take shares in it. The terms, it is said, wi:l be samewhere sbout 77. Italy, Rome, Oct. 8, 1347, ‘The progress of regenoration in Italy goes on and pros- pers, as far as the papal States, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, aud the Duchy of Lucca, are concerned. The National Guard,throughout the legation and the march- es, as well as in all the principal towns, is organixed.— Municipalities are established, but what is more impor- tant, is that a municipality has been instituted, within the last few days, in Rome iteelf, which, before, never enjoyed such a privilege. In the States of the church, tho general tendoncy is to ssoularize the government, and to call into active service the iatelligence of the laity. Ferrara ison the point of being evacuated, and the differences between the papal court and that of Vi enna, which have s0 long disturbed.the tranquillity of Central Italy,are definitively arranged. The Grand Duke of Tuscany has followed in the steps of the Pope, and the institutions of that principality are established on thé same popular and liberal | cheer Luces has ex torted its independence from its sovereign. The facili- ty with which the Duke yielded to the demande of his people is explicable on’ grounds which donot leave much credit to the liberality of that Prince. The Duchy of Lucca is held by its present sovereign and bie heirs only during the life time of Maria Louisa, th: Duchess of Parma and Piesenza, the widow of N Her Imperial Highoess, having’ no legitima’ Highness’s prinoipallty is to fall, on her decee: Duke of Lucca and his heirs, and the Duch will then be anpexed to the Grand Duch; ‘Thus,the sovereign of Lucca, having no of of Lucca of Tuscan; er interest in the principality tban one dependent on a life so aged as that of the arch Duchess Maria Louisa, he was easily couteoted to waive his individual opinions, and to ai- Jow the Duchy of Lucca to proceed imthe same course of reformas that which js adopted in Tuscany. In the dominious of Sardinia, the progress of reform ia leas rapid und less certain Still, there is a disposition On tve part of the sovereign. which, notwithstanding the known vacillation of his character, gives strong grounds forhope. This hope, however, is rendered still stronger by tre acknowledged spirit of the army of Piedmont. aud the innate energy of the people. It will follow in the course of reform, though probably at 4 considerable distance behind ‘Tuscany and the States of the church ‘There remain to be noticed. the Lombardo- Venetian kingdom on the North, and thst of the Two Sivilies on the South, These are the strongholds of absolutiisi,and seom disposed to resist to the death all attempts at pro- gress. ‘The forwer, overrun by an enormous military foree, poured in from Austria proper, from the T'yrol, and from Crvetia,ie altogether overborn of tha population, slthough sufficier without result, They have no combi ths overwhelming suppressive force employed ugainst them.

The truth, which has since come out, is briefly this: Gen. Serrano, who had been, for many months, the favorite in the palace, and de facto King of all the Spains, began to entertain misgivings of his hold on the royal affections, and @ certain Col Gandara appeared, in the salons of majesty, to attract attention, which alarmed the fears of the former favorite. ‘These apprehensions became more lively when it was ob- served that the mivister of Salamanca. and his arsociates, maintained close relations with this same Col Gandara. In short, it became apparent that the ministry were dis- posed to play off Col Gandara against Gen. Serrano It might be arked why the latter would not as well have served the purpose of (he ministry; but the answer to this is, that be was not disposed to go along with them, in the system of policy which they desire to pursue. Be this as it may, it is certain that Gen Serrano per- ceived what was going forward, and, fearing a decline of his inthuence, accepted overtures made to him by the agents of Gen. Narvaez; in consequence of which, a meeting was brought about between Gen. Narvaez and Gen. Serrano, and their common friend Gen. Ros de Olano, on the morning of the 3d inst. The result of their conference was compromise, the conditions of which were not at first known, but have since become apparent. Gen Serrano egreed, it appears, to relinquish his liaison at the palace, in the consideration ot reoviving the ap- pointment of the Captain-Generalship of the province of Grenada. and, as it is supposed, receiving. also, the sum of twe hundred thouswad dollars, proceeding from the purse of the Queen Dowager. On these conditions Serrano agceed to effect immediately the disminsal of the Salamanca cabinet, and tho appointment of Narvaez to the head of affairs But, besides this, it is asserted that another plot was carried on simultaneously with the events we have just related, and that Narvaez, not con- tent to rely solely on the influence of Ser-ano managed to give to Sulamanca, the virtual head of the then existing cabinet, some ig | weighty reasons to induce him to ad- vise the queen, in conjunction with Gen Serrano, to change the ministry, and to sppoiot him. (Narvaez) to the premiership. What gave a color to this, was the re- markable fact thaton the very day when the intrigue were now describing took place, the result of which was the fall of Salamancs, tne same Salamanca, accom- ‘ied by Gandara, took a pleasure excursion to Aran- teas thus going out of the way, as it were, to g ve room for the net etorson the scene.

The executions take place in tho fortresses without public trial or notifica- tion, and the unfortunate families of the captives are lefe in total ignorance of their fate. ‘A report has been circulated recently that the King was disposed to exercise clemency, and to make some concessions to the spirit of reform. If this is #», the in- tention is only yet born, for no manifestation cf the kind has been made pubtic. P, 8,—Since the above was written, we have received the important news that the Duke of Lucca has abdi- cated in favor of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, the latter ogtcoing to pay him an annuity of $200,000 until the death of the Archduchess Maria Louisa. We are ulso informed that there is a prospect of a favorable turn of things at Naples, where the King is expected to pro- claim on amnesty and adopt a system of reform. Mavnip, Oot. 10, 1847, ‘The events which | communicated in my last letter, were 60 startling and unexpected, that It might hi been supposed that the interests of the drama of the palace would bave flagged after them,from mere want of action; bat the dramatis persona in this comedy are too numerous and important, and the spirit of intrigue too aotive, to allow the Interests so to subside. It will be re, colleoted, that at the date of my last, Gen, Narvaez, who is understood to represent, at Madrid, the interests and the views of the Queen Dowager Christina, and of King Louis Philippe, was unexpectedly recalled to the sym’ Majesty's private cabinet the Generals Narvaez and Ros de Oleno; and a short conference was there held, the termination of which was that Narvaez left with his ha le oceprgl having the sign manual affixed to it, i his pooket. ‘All the membars of the cabinet were th at the opera. Salamanca returned during the night, and appeared there A cabinet council was held at one in the morning, at which General Narvaez was in- troduced by General Ros de Olano, and demanded the collective resignation of the mivisters. Nothing could exceed the astonishment manifested by all, Selamanca excepted, who listened to the communication with appa rent apathy. The resignation of the ministers was signed on the spot, and appeared in the Guzette of the next morning. Narvaez thus became prime minister, with a cabinet of his own creatures On tHe following Saturday, the 9th instant, a new surprise was reserved for the public in Madrid. This was nothing less than the public announcement of the fall of Gen Serrano, of him who had exercised the real power of the sovereign for so longa time The Gazrtte of that day announced that the fuvorite had accepted the captain generalship of Grenada, and weuld depart for bis post on the follow- ing Monday, which he accordingly did ‘e must now shift the scene. While these things Were going forward, Narvaez secretly comuunicated with the Queen Dowager Christina, in Paris, and invited her Majesty to return to Madrid, and resume her posi- tion and influence in the palace. These communica- tions, however, were kept most profound secrets, being imparted, as is asserted, to none except the husband of the Queen Dowager, (ee Duke of Rianzares) and her uncle, Bing Louis Phil pee ‘The departure was decided upon, but it wes essen jal that, until the actual arrival reg eps in Madrid, the movement should be kept wa the Queen Dowager has always been so remarkable. Queen Christina resides, io Paris, in » palace in the Rue de Cougeelles, in the Faubourg du Roule. In right jeaty.@ guard of honor is posted at this palace whenever she is there, being withdrawn, of course, when she leaves for the country or eltewhere, "Previous. ly tothe 9th instant, the Queen, with her suite, was rerident there, which fact was manifested to the public by the presence of the guard, besides her public recep- tions, und her reported visita to St Cloud. On the morning of Saturday, the 9cu inst, a modest chaise de poste, such a4 @ private gentleman might travel in, stood ‘at tho door of the palace. Presently three individuals, hubited en bourgeois, issued from the gate: @ gentleman, uw lady. anda —. who migbt be taken fora confide! tialservant. These bac matey mounting in the vo ture, drove tant took the road to Bordeaux. Mean- whila, everything at the palace remained as beforo—the oad of honor wascontinued, aud the internal arrange- ment of thy household was unaltered. A rumor, how- ever, was circulated in Paris, and on Monday, the 11th, appeared in the journals, to the effect that the Queen Dowager had left for Madrid. Gutlignani’s senger, & well conducted and respectable paper, desirous to avoid giving circulation to an untrath, sent to the Hotel de Courcelles to ascertain the fact, where the messenger was informed ors the . Gatig- noni’s Messenger accordingly published the contradic tion by authority This contradiction, neverthelvss, was falsehood [he three individuals above mention- for Bordeaux, we otal It the Lith, the very day on which the queen would rived at Madrid, that the truth was ullowed to transpire at Paris, and,on that day it was announced in La Pressey (understood to be the or- an of the queen dowager,) that the Queen, and the Bake of Rianzares, had, in fact, left for Madrid on the preceding Saturday. Such are, briefly, the incidents of this curious drama, up to the date at which we now write What may fol- low is as difficult to f resee as it would be to guess the denouement of the last act of a melo-drama, when the plot has been involved in intentional complexity by the ingenuity of the author. I shall reserve, therefore, the consummation of this comedy tor my next.

The causes of tl sting state of things would, therefore, seem to h: had their origin, tom very great degree, in the circumstances connected with the termination of tho present account. ‘The way in which speculators ex- teneed their operations on the reduction of the Bank rato of interest in September haa evidently necessitated, at this moment, simultaneous rusb upon the market, for which the public were not prepared, and which has, consejuently, enabled the dealurs to make their own terms To look to any other circumstances for a full explann- tion would be useles, and {t is desirable to notice the fact, in order that the -present pavio may not be mir- takeu for one having its entire or chief origin in com- mercisl distrust. Although we are evidently only A pronching the final state of pressure by which the wania that now jeopardises the whole nation is to be subdued, itis quite clear that the movements of the past week have not coourred ia consequence of = more deliberate view taken by the public to that effect while at the same time it is to be cbwrved, thet, as far as the position of commercial uffsirs is concerned, notbing bas happened to create any particular prebensions beyond such #4 have now prevailed for ® considerable period. One house of importance, whore capital had long been eaten up or placed out of reach, has t thet fs all; and as the future, there is no added reason for alarm that any of those firms who may have prudently prepared by @ contraction That such contraction lias been si months may be shown by abundant evideces cod, quently. sithough commerce of all kinds was ins and healthy state when the crisis was first pro it is now, beyond question, in a still narrower compas. Let the same policy be steadily pu although each man in business will be compelled to tain loss of income, he will escape all danger of vency. ‘That the want of currency aida to commerce has been the cause of the past failures, or of the panic, may fortunately be demonstrated. On the 29th of August, 1946, when the bullion in the bank was at its highest point, and when it was universally proclaimed that the then amount of circulation was suffisient to render the expenditure of some two or three hundred millions sterling on rajlroads Pr sogeny pmmayey ry the amount of notes in the hands of the pul was 20,426,000. Since that time,as we have observed, the degree of contrac- tion which all commercial transactions have nodengene same time i E i i i i eu io the monetary wants of the public. , there fore,with what has happened, the circulation have greatly diminial money might still have re- mained as eas: We have seen. however, a gradual risein the rate of interest from 2}¢ up to 6 or 6 per cent; and, consequently, increased economy in the use of notes must have been largely practised: so that # further reasou has existed to enable the public to on their operations with a greatly decreased amount. Yet, In the face of all this, what has been the actnal ex- tent of the reduction? Less than one million and three quarters has been itsentiresum rom a time when the currency of the country was in a state of plethora down to the presont moment, when we are told that all our commerociai energies are threatened with extimetion sole- ly from the want of due facilities, the variation hes ab- solutely been smaller than in former times wes eften wit- nessed in the changes of a few months. Nay, more, the difference is actually not so great anit wasem the 19th of June leat, when Consols were 89\. whew eemmerce was much lees contracted, and when prices of afl articles were higher. At that time £17 967,000 suffteed for our wants, und we have now £18 712 000 It is plain, therefore, that if the existing elreulation were really available for the uses of the mercantile body, there would bea surplus instead of a deficleney, an that money would again be not much higher then 2% Per ceut. When, under these circumstances, we hear a ory for “relief,” and au assertion that # reduction of one million and three-quarters in the amount of our pro- wises to pay is too great in tha fice of @ reduction of nearly eight millions (for that is the extent to which our gold has diminished) in the means by which those pro- mises are secured, let us not be deceived a8 to the par- ties for whom the clamor is raised, and by whom all that might be conceded would be forthwith clutched. Trade and manufactures must further decline, the pressure we y endured must be outdone by what 14 yat to crei wa limit beyond which it will not be borne, and all that we can do is to wait patiently uatil that limit is attained. ‘The least movement in an oppe- site direction would constitute the first step (to be fol- lowed by many rapid ones) on the road to ational bankruptcy. At a meeting just held of the creditors of De Jersey & Co.. of Manchester, a statement was exhibited, show- ing assets to the amount of £430,000, against liabilities for £345,000. Amongst the assets are—goods shipped to Russia, £189,500; consigaments to Russia, £03,200; cluims on houses in Germany, £72,900; consignments to Germany, £7,200; amount to be received from Mr. Hol- zauer, (@ partner of the firm at Moscow,) £15,000; stock, £16,500; mills in Rochd: £20,000; various amounts due to the house, £42,100. Of the liabili £264,000 is upon acceptances; £51,700 is for yarn, yet settled for; and £13,200 for machinery. Twas dis- tinctly understood that Menara. De Jersey & Co. are not partners in any way with Thomas, Son & Lefevre; and tho proposition madu to the inowting was the highly sa- tisfactory one of paymenttin fall by instalments of 25 per cent per month. In four months, therefore, the firm, it @ expected, will be once more in a perfectly sound | | the Exchange-room., and soon receive: Pes f and independent position, ‘The affairs of Messrs. Sanderson & Co. are winding satisfactorily, only £28,000 of bad bills having apposed as yet amongst the assets. £726,000 of bills have run off already, out of £1,725,000, The estate of Messrs. Reid, Irving & Co. isto be wound up under ihe inapeo- tion of Mr. Bariog, Mr Blyth, and Mr. M’Chieery; and ® hope is held out that a dividend of five shiliings in the pound will shortly be declared. A meeting of the creditors of Lyal!, Brothers & Co, has been held; aod taking into view all the probabilities of the house in India meeting their payments, it is ex- pected that the London firm will pay about 10s in the pound The creditors of Merars. Usborne have consent ed to receive 11s in the pound, in periodical instalmente. Tue Commenctat, Crisis,—Bavserss, Oot, 16.—The ereditors of the house of Lagnette have just met at the Hotel de Ville; M. Venhalst, the sheriff, presided.

Anrwenr, Oct. 15.—-The public journals are much o0- cupied with the financial crisis, which certain journals attribute to La Societe Generale, and others to the banks of Belgium. We shall not enter into the details of the accusations brought against either the one or the other of these establiahinents, but we connot avoid remarking that the crisis isfar less intense in Belginm than it js in France, England, and several places in Germany; for although our country has also suffered from the late dearth, the first and principal cause of the perturbation arose in London by the failure of more than twenty houses, some of which are of the first rank.
