I •• ?Ala WEDNESDAY EVENING. The report of M. Lanjainii., it is confessed on all hands, is not such as ts answer the expectations which might hays been formed from the general talent of the party which he represents, from the gravity of die omission, or from the importance of the task. consigned to the committee, to vindicate the di g -1 nity of the offended Assembly. It bears at once the marks of temerity and indecision, and contains as much the apology as the impeachment of the ministers. In fact it I starts with accusing the government of aiming at an 1 imperial reiteration, and ends with submitting that the modification of such an extensive cumulation of powers as rested in the hands of the commander-in ' chief of the army of Paris was necessary, only quarrelling with the moment at which this measure was executed by the government. 'the report piles up a series of charges to demolish them all again with a breath. It recapitulates the old story of the cries at the reviews, of the dismissal of General Nenmayer, of the systematic attacks of the Bonapartist press, to say at the end , that impartiality obliges the Committee at the same time to confess that all theee facts have lost the greater part of their importance since the engage mists taken by the President in the message of the 11th November. In fact, one-half of this document completely neutralises the other half; and a more impotent attempt to vindicate the dignity of the Assembly it is scarcely possible to conceive. The effect of this document upon the Assembly was still further blunted by the feeble voice of the reporter. The overstrained expectation of the crowded Chamber was dashed with blank disappointment at so washy and emasculate a result. The reception given to the report by the press is not more favourable. No organ, of any colour, says a word in its praise. Even the Debuts, from which some approbation might have been hoped, finds the censure of the ministers too hazardous a game, and would fain have bad only a wreath of flowers laid on the tomb of the defunct commander-in-chief of the army of Paris. To-day the tribunes of the Assembly are equally crammed to bear the debate, in which no doubt the chiefs of the majority will indemnify themselves for the reserved and feeble language of the committee. The first speaker is M. Goadard, a Bonapartist of the Left. It is extremely doubtful if the resolution will pass the house in its present form. Gen. Changsreier has express( d the desire that the part relating tohimeelf may be omitted. In fact, the union of the Left with the ministerial members of the Right, in opposing a se cond ovation to the ex-commander-in-chief, would probably swamp the motion. Hence the project said to be en.ertained of separating the clauses, and cutting down the resolution to a mere vote of censure against ministers. M. de Goulard demanded to speak against the conclusions of the committee. lie thought that the time was come when every one ought to explain him self clearly, try to h.nder new faults, and to arrive at some means of conciliation. He pointed out the em barrassment in which the constitution would involve the Assembly, if it gave a vote of want of confidence, while no means of terminating the conflict existed, as in the monarchical time, when the king, if he wished to retain his ministers, could dissolve the Chamber. The sitting of January 3 placed the two parties in the situation of victor and vanquished; and thus he ex plained the resignation of the ministers and the atti tude of the executive power. He appealed to the good sense and feeling of the majority to refrain from wasting time in reciprocating measures of dishonour between the powers, and to comprehend that su -h divisions could only profit the common enemy, who spied the moment to take advantage of their dissensions. M. Fremeau defended the resolution of the Com mittee; he would vote for neither more nor less. It contained just what it ought to contain, a testimony of esteem for General Changarnier, and a severe cen sure for the ministry. M. Monet said that it was time to enter into the quick of the debate. Ile demanded a vote of want of confidence in the cabinet, which he reproached with its obsequiousness to the President, with allowing the National Assembly to be vilified in the journals, provoking unconstitutional cries at Satory, and dis missing General Changarnier with a hostile intention against the Assembly. He then gave an account of the way in which the reviews had gone off, as he woe one of the members of the Committee of Permanence present on the spot. M. Baroche acknowledged the accuracy of M. Mo net's account, but drew different conclusions from it. He was astonished, in the first place, at the constitu tional theory of the committee. Doubtless the minis ters were responsible, but it was wished to attack another person than them. With regard to the dis missal of Geo. Changarnier, he maintained that it had been long ago settled, and that the vote of January 3, instead of hastening that measure, delayed it for some days. It was impossible to leave this third power. (Movement.) M. Howyn-Tranchere—Which was an obstacle. M. Baroche—An obstacle to what ? M. Howyn-Tranchere— To the cries of "rive l'Empereur !" (Agitation.) M. Baroche reminded the Assembly that at another ep ch General Changarnier had not hindered cries. Several Voices—Constitutional cries. M. &erode—That was true, but of late he had maintained that no cry ought to be allowed. He ended with recaliing the engagements of the message. The President wanted no imperial restoration, but simply to defend the constitution against all its enemies. M. Jules de Laateyrie then mounted the tribune, and was lett speaking at half-past six. It is said that the late ministers who have been ' excluded from the present cabinet have originated a report that the new government is on the point of concluding a commercial treaty with England, in which coals and other British productions are ad mitted with a far more liberal tariff than suits the protectionist ideas prevalent in France. It is said that M. Larnartine is about to be appointed French ambassador to the court of England. The funds are steady, and showed a slight im provement. The Maniteur publishes a statement of the indirect taxes and revenues for the year 1850, as compared with 1848 and 1849. The total amount for 1830 is 738,242,000 k., which presents an increase of 61,452,000 fr. over 1848, and of 3G,529,000fr. over 1849. Cherbourg letters of the 12th inst. state that above GO merchantmen have been driven into that port by the late piles. cater, but seemed to to tentaseted with others of • similar kind ; mid Mat idea was onfirseed by the perusal of the nieces of the Permanent Committee, and by the answers given by the Ministers of War and of the Interior is the landing addressed teethem by the members of the committee. It is impossible so shut one'eleyes to the fact that fur a ling time there has been, on the part of the executive party, • tendency to place little confidence in our institutions, to consider sis transitory and ephemeral the form of govern ment under which we live, to disseminate amongst ever, rank of society doubts as to the future, to cry up the apposed benefits of an absolute government, and to espies, within an undetermined time, after a son of imperial restoration. Torre is no one here who den not pay respect to great reminiscences, but that feeling ought not to degenerate into intoxication, which leads men's minds astray, and prepares the way for new revolutions. That, however, enieht take place, if you should not endea TOur to oppose a movement which appeared to ban s:eppsd non under the happy influence of the last message of the President of the Republic, but since then has appeared to commence again with fresh intensity. The tendency which we point out to you has not been opposed by the government, and even has been encouraged by some of its acts. The seditious cries of " Vivo I . Emile nut" were uttered at review., and a general officer, who resisted the impulse so given, was dismissed. The press, enjoying the privilege of being sold in the attests ' has been full of insult and calumny ag ai nst the Na tional Assembly, apparently for the object of disparaging it, and undermining its moral power ; and, in fine, • more im portant act, and one which appears to us connected with the acceding ones—the dismissal of General Change:min—has attracted your attention. Each of these acts has been maturely examined in the com mittee. The first—namely, the cry of " Vire l'Entretcur " —tot only was not punisbed, but awn encouraged. The inermstioa collected by your Permanent Committee, and that in particular of the genera 1-in. chief of the army of Paris, does not Icon any doubt as to the fact, nor on other facts 0: a nature to compromise military di.cipline. The Minister of the Interior has denied those facts; and to the acts which passed at Beton opposed the evidence of whit he saw himself. The minister might be right on some pereoular fact', but so absolute • tlenegation, whatever may be the good faith of the person making it, appears to us to depart from the truth. (Great confusion.) In this, remarked the hen gentleman, eddies:Ong the As sembly, there is not the slightest contradiction. The hon. minister only saw one review, and four were had. The dismissal of General Neumayer is a fact still more grave, the circumstances of which you are acquainted with. That general being asked by an officer under him whether he ought ,to give his men orders to cry out, replied that "silence under arms appeared to him the attitude most in conformity with military diselpliue." That was the only rea son that caused him to be deprived of his command ; and his dismissal took place in spite of the exertions to the contrary of his superior officer, the general-in chief of the army of Paris. Can there be any doubt relative to this :fact ? The lan guar of the ministers , _ even their own assertions, eo not allow us to doubt it. The Minister of the Interior confiacd himself to pointing to the rights of the executive power; and the cause of General Neumeyees dismissal bi ins named to him, he referred to the answers which he Ind already given on the auhject before the Permanent Com mittee, and declared that he Ind neither to deny nor admit that cause. (Agitation.) lie added, that the govern ment had conferred on General Neumayer • higher post than that which he had been deprived of; and that, on the application of that general to withdraw from the service, the government had, by a specie! favour, kept him en disponi bilite. A member of the committee banner shed the Minister of War if be would consent to communicate to the meanie:es the official correnpondeace which paced between him and that general, replied that he did not consider it proper to do so, as suck • course would, in his opinion, con stitute an objectionable precedent. (Mciermen..) As to 'the impulse given to the ministerial press, the Minister of the Interior refused to acv. pt the respoesibility of that matter. lie declared that he did not reproach the heals of parties with toe excesses of their journals; that it would be ut ju-t to do so; and he claimed the name justice for hims. If. lie denied that be had anything to say to any journal or corre spondence; he allowed only that the Minister of the Interior subscribed a certain number of copies of • Paris corresp md nice, which at all periods bad been favourable received by the government, end which contained nothing against the Assembly. Certain journals appeared to obey a pet of mot d'onlre, and used a language disrespectful to the Assembly; that could not be • question of chance. A reply of the minister may throw soma lieht on the subject. Denting to show the good intentions of the cabinet, he stated that its first delibe ration had for object to repress the extravagant language of • certain portion of the pees spinet the National Assembly, and that to that effect he had given notice to the prefect of police to inform the editors et the privileged journals that they could not be permitted to sell their copies in public, if they continued their attacks on the Assembly. (Agitation.) It is to be regretted that this measure was adopted so tardily. It remains to us to speak of the act which led to the mission intrusted to us—toe dismissal of the general in.chicf lof the army of Paris. Two circumstances mark is character ; one, that this act is correlative with the facts already men- Weed ; and the next, that it took place the day atter the Legislative Assembly had given to General Changarnier the testimony of its approbation. Your committee has thought that it is in those circuity ' stances that most be sought the real genie of that or'. The explanations given by the ministers have not ohangsd its opinion. They have certainly stated that for some inn, baton the 3rd January the former ministry had re: olved to suppress the double command of the army of Paris and of the national guard of the Seine, and to modify the condi dons of that command. But the approbation given to the general by the Assembly caused several of the miniotra to hesitate; then there were partial resignation., and next a entireties one, destined to leave to the President a griever facility for the formation of a new ministry. Negotiations took place with several members of the former cabinet on the b nos of the suppression of the general command of the army of Paris. The negotiation showed, besides, that without that suppression, said the minister, there could not be obtain-d from one of the general officers, as IMP desired, the accept ance of the portfolio of the war department. These explanations would be plausible in ordinary cir cumstances. h is certain, in fact, that, whether by its extent, or by extraordinary powers with which he is invested, or by the movement of troops and ammunition, the general cam mend of the army of Paris had conditions altogether special, which the mestablishmentof order could cause to be mode fied. But, after having maintained it in eircumetacces so favourable to the public peace as those in which we are now placed, it appeared to us evident that this abrupt dismissal, past aster the vote of the sitting of January 3, bad • political cause, which, in Its relation with the tendencies alluded to above, might interest the dignity of the Assembly, and in that respect tall within the domain of your appreciation*. Bet ee clueing our researches relative to these facts, we corsiaered it our duty to intervgate the minister relative-to the rumours of • plot spoken of in the journals, and we de mends 1 c.tegorloal expl *millt. e' on the sulje et. The niirister replied in an absolute manner, that it ane facts censtiming crimes or misdemeanours had come to his know ledge, he would immediately have ordered proceedings, bat that nothing of the kind bad token place. finch, gentlemen, are the priacipal facts and explanations connected with the resolution which you came to on the 10th Wt. Doubtless the dismissal of the general commanding the army of Paris, thus characterized, is • serious fact in volving the ritsponsibiley of the ministry; but we are far from thinking that it can lead, as some persons have been pleased to say, to collisions between the greet powers. We loudly declare that there are two things equally im possible—tee absorption of the two powers, legislative and executive, iota one power, which would be the dictate rstip of one man, or the domination of the Aseembly the Legia lative Assembly and the President of the Rrpuh lic have the duty of remaining united and labourites in common for the re-establishment of • regular government. On the day when one of them should attack the other, it would effect its own ;elite'', even should an ephemeral success crown its criminal attempt, an intention which we impute to no our. As to the Assembly, it does not wish to add to its powers; it will maintain with firmness and penistance the adhesion which it gave to the policy of the message of the 11th of November, the basis co which ie respect for the constitutioa. Our task, gentlemen, is finished. We were not a com mittee of parliamentary inquiry ; we only had to judos of facts from documents and very limited explanatioes. Our conviction is not the less firm. But, in ord. r Lot to he anchor in impartiality, we are bound to say that ; engagements o' the message have taken away a great p of the gravity from the facts which to. k place prior to toe 11th of November, and it is only on at count of the is a. ! duties recently reproduced, and particularly the act of the 10th of January, that they found a place in our del:- berstions. At the moment of drawing up a repletion, your cam mitcee was divided. Two members voted for the order of the day pure aLd simple, and they demanded that their motives should be expressed in their report. They de clared teat the order of the day pure and simpie which they would vote would not imply approbation of the acts of the government or of the administration with nand to fees anterior to the last message ; but that since that period, they had seen nothing in the acts of the executive pow*r of a nature to make them declare their refusal of co-operation, or to create a conflict between the two powers, the harmony between which appeared to be as possible as necessary to the republic. Three members proposed • declaration of general distrust towards the present cabinet. They declared that, convinced by the very lasts of the discussion, of the inutility o' their effors to croon • report which should express chair ideas, they confined themselves to demanding a summary insertion of their opinion. They declared that, plaited in an attitude of persevering opposition with reg.rd to the last ministry, when ans,policy, and tendencies were, in their opinion, always coatrary to the principles an f interests of the repuelic, they coon not avoid sharing in the sentiments of distrust which • part of the new cabinet inspired. Bat it wee only under that form and on those proands that they would joie. in an expression of distrust or of blame against the ministry. They would not consent to found that expres sion on the first act of the new ministry, which bad put an endto in irregular state of things against which they had always protested. This other members voted for a formula of distrust, con ceived in the following terms :—" The Aseeintily, conduced that the ministers, in the acts for which they are responsible, have set at nought the conditions which ought to guarantee the union of the oowititutitotal power', so eocissery to the insintenence of public pen., decline that they do not enjoy Is onfl tenet, and pesos :o the ettlee of the day." Sever I otti.r tornado. I xpressio e g otru, were trou o t.; eo,o bet were not earned by a majority. At length, byeight volts to seven, the committee adopted the tollowlog resolu tion, which it proposes to you; The following is the report of M. Lanjoinais A few days back, gentlemen, in the sitting of the 3rd of January, you approves of the reply of the commander-in chief of the army of Parie to the ioterpellations which had been addressed to bias, and accepted the homage which he paid to the right conferred on you by the concituti,u to die. pcse of the troops necessary for your eatery. Ti.e ministry was dissolved the nest day; and, after eight days of laborious negotiation, it marked its return to power by the dismissal of General Chaugarnier. It was on these circumstances that M. de Rezeusst, in the sitting of January 10, demanded explanations from the ministry, at the end of which yen adopted an order of the day matte:, declaring that the r. preeen.atives should at once withdraw to their bureaux, to nominate a commi•tes for the purpose of proposing such measures as the circumstances a; petted to call tor.

However, u by their nature, and the theatre on which the Iscts took I place, a mistake may be made u to their importance, we hasten to say to yea that in our opinion there is out soy ! raison to sorry both the responsibility farther than the ministry. (Movement, which Inn*.ed WWI time.) It is true that the Presideat of the Republic. in hie message of Octoba 31, 1849, claim• d for himself the general rupoosibiiity of the acts of his ministers; but the constitu tion, the nature of things, and the pretties bath before and after the 3lat of October, 1849, have maiatainel and will always maintain, a real distinction between the ministerial power and the Preeident of the Republic. The constitution, in feet, dealer a in formal terms that ' the ministers are responsible,' and that ' the emocil of ministers is a aecmory authority in the state.' The nature of 'hinds, also, ought at present to declare to you loudly that if the President were to be considered responsible foe the de. tails of the adminiattation, it would be impassible for you to discuse them withaut causing atteint to his consideration and disturbing the harmony at the great powers.

Our despatches bring no news of importance, ex cept that the differences which had arisen in the first committee of the conferences on the question of the " Central power" had, ifter much and violent de bating, subsided into a perfect agreement. It was this subject probably that called M. Manteuftel to Dresden. He has returned to Berlin, whence we learn, for a third time, that Prince Schwatrenburg has token his departure for Vienna. The telegraphic news communicated yesterday, that the Emperor of Russia was shortly to meet the Emperor of Austria and King of Prussia at Dresden, is pronounced by the papers on the day following hob? quite groundless. The Austrian project of a Z 11 Union is the subject that most engages attention in Prussia at present. M. Manteuffel and the Prussian cabinet are opposed to the project. The very long memorandum of the Saxon government laid before the conferences seems decidedly to favour it. Our correspondent writes : DRESDEN, JAN. 11. It has been stated in a former letter that the go vernments of Bavaria and Saxony had presented to the commission on trade, navigation. &c., memorials similar to those which they presented to the Congress of the Zollverein at Cassel. The latter is published in full by the official Dresden journal. I have ob tained the important points of the former. It com mences with a long wordy introduction respecting the necessity of an attempt being made to fulfil the terms of paragraph 19 of the Bundesakt, which re serves to the members of the confederation the right of deliberating on measures fit the erre ion of a ge neral system of trade, navigation, &c. This right had sever been exercised by the Bundesrersammlung, but by the efforts of an individual state, a partial customs union, the Zollverein, had been established. The Zullyerein was, however, insufficient, as many of the German states refrained from joining it. There were et this moment in G rmany nine different custom systems. 'I he memorial then dilates en the disadvantages to Germany abroad of this dismemberment, and lays great stress on the general movement which has been visible tbroughout every state in Germany, to establish free-trade between state and state. It next bestows high praise on the memorials of Baron Bruck, the Austrian Minister of Trade, commends the plans they contain, and then proceeds to inquire into the mode by which those plans can be carried out. The difficulties, it confesses are great in the path of a general German Customs union, but they disappear before the fact that the two great commercial bodies in Germany, Austria and the Zallvere in, contains within their confines the majority of the population, that only a few federal countries are excluded from them, and that those few belong to seven different commercial systems. The difficulties in the way of a commercial union between Austria and the ZJllverein are represented as trifling, and there once agreed, the advantages to all must be so great that there can be no question of the ultimate adhesion of the rest. The memorial recommends a voluntary treaty between all the states of Germany, to be drawn up in such a manner that it shall effect, at no distant period, the welding of all German commercial territories. To such a plan the Z illverein itself opposed no hindrance, as in Article 41 of the fundamental treaties a clause was inserted which fixed the duration of the Zillvertin only fur the period in which the Bundeaversammlung aid not establish a general measure. Guided by these considerations, the government of Bavaria had at Cassel endeavoured to commence negotiations with the other governments of dr , Zollverem, for the purpose of paving the way to the adoption of the great Austrian plan, but with the result that •mportant objections had been made to a direct cus toms and commercial union, though not to a traffic and commercial treaty, suitable to the interests of all, upon the widest basis, and with a successive extension, until the perfect union of the customs' ter ritories be obtained : this method being also considered the safest for the existing manufacturing interests the government of Bavaria proposes without hesitation the following as the fundamental points of a commer cial treaty with Austria, and as the introduction to the future Austro-German customs union. These points are: 1. Mutual free im?ortition of all home productions of nature, industry, and art, by the abolition of all duties upon their entrance into either commercial polity, end free trade in the same within hotb, with the exception of than article, specially named and specified, whereby the freedom of trade in articles of national produce is to be regarded a, the rule, and the limitation as the exception. 2. The exceptions from the rule would be:—(a.) Those objects which is any one or more of the commercial systems are a state monopoly, or are subject to a tax on their use. (b.) Those products which are taxed too untqually in the different commercial system?. (c ) Those products also which are so slightly different from similar foreign articles that a certain control of the same would In accompanied by great didluilties (legir and coffee manufactured). (d.) Finally. tee produce of several great branches of induatry,the clones of production, and other necessary conditions of which differ too much from those of the other commercial systems to permit them to bear the immediate competition without decided disadvantages and diminution of their pro- I verity; though with the condition that a gradual diminu. I Lon of the per cent ige of the *event items in the tariff of each shall take place at suitable periods. 3 Liberation of all national produce of nature, industry, and art, ire m transit duties, and every possible fecilitation of other transit goods not belonging to these categories, with a gradual introduction of Ural freedom from transit duties. 4. Liberation of all export goods from export', duties with the exception of a few materials for manufacture. 6. The mutual facilitation to the utmost possible extent of all industrial traffic, by mutual liberation of the com mercial travellers from the payment of duties (whit patterns only) then of the market and fair traffic. Equal treat. meat of the subject of the contracting state in worsen to the protection of patents for inventions, patterns, and meau facturers' signs, affair st improper imitation, and if possible • general and equal legislate's on this subject. 6. Facilitation and simplification of the dining of road, bridge, and paving dues, and consideration of the easiest mode by which the same can be placed on an equal footing. 7. The consideration of the establishment and maintse once of the most important sets of roads on which the goods I traffic is carried on in the states of the German Cunfeders, tion. 8. The greatest co-operation towards affecting the estab lishment of a general system of money, measures, and weights, and the preliminary Immures necessai y to procure an official seduction of the existing moneys, measures, and weights. 9. Equal treatment of the subjects of the contracting states in reference to the peyeeent of canal, sluice, bridge, ferry, harbour, road, and de pot dace, and also for the use of the existing inetitutior.s for the facilitation of %MSS. 10. An weenie's't as to the most effective measures for the suporeseion of smuggling ; and especially, therefore, the speediest possible. conclusion of • general customs duties cartel. These proposals were in the memorial which was fait bekore too (3as:A Z):lverPin C.sngre e, ir.tondod iudeli as the basis of • treaty be:vievn Austria avid the ZAlverein; but they are, in the present document, recommended as the bola of a treaty between all the existing commercial systems. The present memorial concludes with the following four articles for the agreement, which are ssid to contain safe guarantees for the material interests of Germany, ar.d the ulti mate fultiment of the long entertained and general wishes : 1. The customs and commercial anion between all the states of the Germanic confederation, shall be promoted by the means of a treaty, and for this purpose the spacial deli beration on the conclusion of an intens.ve troth and com mercial treaty on the ba , es alluded to above, shall be nom ' menced at -, by earn toi..sioners deputed for the pur pose, within four week , from the general ratification of the present agreement. 2. Within the same period an especial negotiation ph:II be commenced between the commissioners from the German littoral stets which are eoeceraed in the regulation of the navigation and dues relations on all navigable German rivers, both for tte purpose of alleviating the barbers en shipping as also for the introduction of on equal and general treatment of the same. 3. A special emagoi , sion shell further be at the rams time appointed, to consist of deputies from the federal rates of Germany for the purpose of drawing up a general navigation law for Germany, of determining the nature of the German flag, its rights, the conditions upon which it may be' carried, the rights of the harbours of Germany. and the measures necessary for the protection of the foreign trade of Germany, together with the relation. of the German navy. 4. To the came eetaMissiea, the whole consulate system of the German federal states shall be confided for the purposes of TIMMONS and for the establishment of general normal rules binding on all the ;trade consuls appointed abroad by the governments of the Germanic nfederation. All console appointed by the governments of the GeTMlLtie eon', &ration shall at once be authorised to afford to all merchants and mariners who are subjects of a German federal state the same protection as subjects of the state which appointed them Dresden, Dee. 31, 1850. The Saxon memorial presents a suspicions simila rity to this, and the two would appear to have pro ceeded from the came pen, were not the Saxon written with a precision and elegance which are wanting in the Bavarian. The ideas and plans in both ate the same, and we are not far from the truth when we assert their source to be Austrian. The Saxon and Bavarian puppets dance as Austria pulls the wires. The If Zeitung says :—We are enabled to communicate the plan of M. von Bruck, and the manner in which it is proposed to carry it into exe me ion. The Austrian industrials have declared them selves in favour of the same 'Loll tariff (with small modifications only) which in Cassel was approved of by the whole Zollverein congress, with the exception of Brunswick. On this footing the Vienna cabinet is ready to treat, if Prussia be thereto disposed 3 and if not, Austrian commissioners will be deputed to attend the Zollverein congress to be held iu Dresden on the let of February next. The plan is as follows: —The three commercial districts (Ilandelagebrete) should by compact form one commercial verein, which should adopt the above-described tariff system f6r its entire circumscription. Simultaneously with this Equali sation of the tariffs, all transit duties should be re-- moved from raw materials of every sort on the fron tiers of Austria. On the other side, Austria demai de the introducion of a tobacco mono poly by all the Garman governments. This compact should be concluded for six years, with the prospect, at the end of that time, of a complete union. During these six years a careful control should be established on the boundaries of the three commercial districts over the import as well as oon sumption of foreign goods is the separate state', eo that it might be possible to calculate exactly the cus toms income of every state. The complete union would be stipulated fur 12 years. Austria calculates that the North Sea States will be wen over to this plan by the great market the abolition of transit duties will procure them; and Bavaria, Saxony, and the Silesian provinces, by the facilitation of frontier trade. Austria hopes by this plan to turn to account her natural productions, particularly in Hungary, so to get out of her own financial difficulties, end to force Prussia to abandon the vantage ground her Zollverein position gives her. HAMBURG, Jiw. 13. It seems that the terms aren2Orefaiourable to the Schleswig.liolsteiners than it appeared at first. The status quo ante bellum is guaranteed; also the possession of the fortresses. The army is not to be disbanded, but two-thirds of it only to be sent home on furlough, so that they may be called in at any time ; for which purpose the staff of the regiments, the arms, tkc., are left undisturbed at thtir garrisons. Only as regards the navy, the commissioners declared they were without instruction. They are still here transacting business with the Danish Commissioners VIENNA, J. 9. The months of February and April giie a deficit in the Austrian revenues of 18; millions. What are we to expect from the months following, in which such an immense military establishment was set on foot. On the Bourse and at the Bank, the best informed persons, and those who most favour the government, reckon upon a deficit for the year of at least 60 millions. The only increase in direct taxation can be from ground and house taxes. But from the devastated lands and demolished bourse and villages of Hungary no tax whatever can be collet , ed. The paper issues from the state amounted, in less than three months, to no less than sixteen and a half millions. The Bank has again advanced 3,786,000 florins. From llungary, instead of five millions quarterly, as for merly, the present income is only b 8,107 tl. The tw,kruptcy of Austria is only a question of time. A re gulation of the Austrian mint is in prospect by which Austrian money will be made current on the same scale as that of Prussia and South Germany. This plan is universally approved of. The present coin will be preserved, but its value will be reduced to its sterling worth. flaws, JAN. 1 l.—Voluntary Loan, 1051 ; New Loan, Four-ind-a-Half per Cert., , 19 ; National Debt, 811; Conmerci.l Marine Society's Premium, 110; Bank Shares, 951.

COMMITTEE FOR THE RELIEF OF THE CHRISTIANS WHO SUFFERED IN THE EVENTS OF THE IGTH AND 17TH OCTOBER, 18.50. Aleppo, Dec. 7, MO. TO JOBISPH 1117111, NUL, N P., LONDON. The newspapers will, no doubt, hays acquainted you with the terrible occurrences of which our city has beau the thcatre, and we will not, therefore ,enter into details of the horrible scores which have taken place. It will he eufli d-nt to mention that 500 Christian homes, mostly opulent, were sacked and pillegad, women end girls brutally assaulted, . . min auassinated, and numbers wounded ; fire churches were pillaged and three of them burned, priests killed, and the Syrian pelvis/eh aeriou•ly wounded. In a word, that all the barbarities imagination can paint were practised upon the Christians at Aleppo. " ' It is easy to imagine that in consequence of such n catas trophe, the numbers of people formerly in a state of affluence are now in complete destitution, and that the working classes are plunged into the deepest misery, which cals s loudly for aid on all charitable persons. But the efforts and sacrifices of this amall European colony and of the natives who escaped this horde of barbvians, are insufficient to relieve so many sufferers, and a committee creopostd r f the six persons,whose names are undersigned, has been formed in order to the generosity of all philanthropists whose alms could not be directed into a sore deserving closnnti. Convinced that you will kindly mist in relieving ctt Christian popula• ion we make this appeal to your generosity. in the hope shot you will also induce your numerous friend' to co operate in this good work. We trust, sir, that you will extend your assistance to us, and need not assure you of our sincere grati!ude and the sentiments of high esteem which we entertain for you. (Signed) ALEX. CALDER.
