In considera. tion of the exceptional character of the enterprise, and the interest France takes in the execution of the Suez C bal, according to the expression of its reporter, the Council of State has given its approval to a bill, which by a decree of His Majesty, dated the 28th May, 1868 has been presented to the legisla tive body. This bill-authorises the issue of bonds with prizes, with the proviso that the annual total sum of the coutin gent profits given in the form of prizes shall not in any case exceed one per cent.. of the capital. We are scarcely in a po sition to speak very positively of the financial prospects of the selome, but the

fact that some temptation of this sort necessary to induce people to take th bonds, does not imply quite that con dance in the salieme which the dire tors evidently labour to show is exter sively felt It bas always appeare to us that had the canal teen undertake by the government alone, and bonds i sued bearing a low but certain rate of in ́terest, the prospects of the undertakin would have been better assured than i lessing it so entirely to private outerpris The security would have reacted on th market, and while the publie expen would have been slight, the feeling commercial circles would have been me assared in favour of the undertaking.

The details given of the general pr gress of the works are but a contionatio of those given in previous reports.

By all accounts our Sne telegrains have worse fortune, and at a events it is a noteworthy fact that Frand can receive her telegradus from Suez i the space of time mentioned. As regard transit, considerable stress is laid upo the aid given to the Abyssinian Exp: d tion by the company; sud an immers amount of testimony, English partia Jarly is quoted, to show that the ente prise is a reality. and not a magnific sham.
