TIE intelligence by the packet Dutch.
ess d'Orleans, the arrival of which at New
York we announced yesterday, is but one
day later than we had by the Liverpool
our Paris date by the steamer being the
18th, and by the packet the 10Th Of Sep
tember.


The most interesting item of news is
merely negative-lt was not yet positively
known whether provision had or had not
been made for the payment oi the dishon-
ored drafts Of the u. States Bank on the
Messrs Ho,tingner.


The Paris Messenger says:


"The house of Messrs Rothschild which
held great part of the bills presented for
acceptance to Messrs. Holtinguer s. Co. 3,
has ntervened in support of the honor of
the American signatures. The bills, which
amount to ten millions, of which only two
millions aud half have been presented up
to this time to NIessrs. Hotlinguer, have
been accepted by Messrs. Rothschid. 1t
is stated that the refusal to accept by the
house of HottInguer arose from the Cir
cumstance of the bills OF ading of the cot
ton which was to serve as guarantee for
the bills drawn by the United States, not
having been sent with The letters of
advice, which simply stated that the cotton
which was to be cons gned to Messrs.
Hotlinguer was purchased. and would be
sen, by ihe FIRST vessels. BY the arrange
ment which has taken place, the cotton,
which was expected in London and Havre,
will be consigned to Messrs. Rothschild."


But private letters, of the latest date,
speak of the matter as still undetermined.
One, which we copy from the Journal of
Commerce, is as follows:


HAvRE, Sept. 81, 1899.
Cup TO last evening, the bills had not
been accepted; aud it is now ascertained
that nothing will be done until the return
of one of the partners of Messrs. Roihs-
child s. Co., who is absent from Paris"
The commolons in the department of La
Sarthe, of which we had accounts by the
Liverpool, had been somewhat angry, al
though not extensive or formidable. They
grew out of the deportation Of giain, which
the populace at Mons and other places be-
held with alarm, and resisted by force
Barrcades were erected, and small parties
Of gems darmeS, which attempted TO pre-
serve order, were assailed by the rioters
with stones and bludgeons. Troops had
been ordered to the department.


The Journal du Havre Of September
goth, under the head "Bourse de Paris,
l9th," says:


1t was announced that the prime pal bank
ing houses, wishing to prevent the embar-
rassments which would result from the re-
turn of the bills of exchange drawn by the
Bank Of the United States, were desirous
of acting in concert with the house of
Rothschild.
