Tna CiLtwcatiza of the EXCHIQUES has re ceived at Newcastle the honours due to his splendid Wants, his high character, and his public services. A great manufacturing and commercial commu nity honours itself when it honours a man who, identified with them by his origin, has by oon- spicnous merit raised himself to the highest position in the State. -- --- Mr. GiinsroNz wisely spoke most fully of those great national interests which he has done so much to advance. It was impossible that the French Treaty should not fill a large place in his address. Attacked by a portion of the press with every lawful and every unlawful weapon so long as it was possible that Parliament might withhold its ratification, the Treaty now justifies the acclamations with which it was hailed by all . . liberal Englishmen. Many of the right hon. spealcer's hearers--manufacturers, merchants, and work men—could have told him a great deal of the profit which individuals have derived by means of that _ . . instrument ; but he could speak of its beneficial operation upon the whole country. The Treaty has been in full vigour just one year, and the grand result is that the exports of British products to France, which in the year before the Treaty were of the value of 4,749,0001. in the first year under the Treaty, have been 10,640,0001., an increase of 5,891,0001. Thus the exports of this class have been more than doubled. And lest any should object that this increase is wholly or in great part one of products into which British industry enters in a low degree, Mr. GLADSTONE UM us that in the two years before the Treaty the value of the exports to France of the principal metals and tinned into which labour enters largely wee 2,451,0001., in the first year of the Treaty it has been 6,708,0001. In the case of iron manufactures and machinery, the result is still more remarkable ; the increase is from 614,0001. to 1,796,0001., an augmentation of nearly 300 per cent. If we extend our view and take, as we ought, the foreign and colonial trade into the account, the result is even more striking. This foreign and colonial pro. duce has become ours by being taken in exchange for our manufactures previously exported, and the neighbour who relieves us of it enables us to renew the operation. The value of the exports of British, foreign, and colonial produce on an average of the two years preceding the Treaty was 9,402,0001. ; last year it was 21,000,000/. When the Cnescutos of the EXCHEQUER could adduce these figures he was well entitled to say that the Treaty had fulfilled, and more than ful filled, the most sanguine expectations of its authors and promoters. But the French Treaty was not a purely com mercial instrument ; it was strongly opposed in the House of Commons as something certain to de range and depress the finances of the State. Mr. Dissent' having declared that its influence on these would be pernicious, and having failed to carry the House of Commons with him, appealed to the future to prove that the principles of the Opposi tion were sound. Tho present state of the public re venue enables us to form a judgment on this point. Without the hop duties, without the paper duties, and with a penny in the pound leas of income tax collected, the yield from operative taxation has been 600,000/, more during the last six months than it was in the corresponding period of last year. The reason is that, according to the foresight and intentions of the authors of the Free-trade policy, a force has come into operation which its parliamentary oppo nents persistently ignored. Mr. ChenwrosE observed at Newcastle :—" Although it is PE " cult to trace the effect of augmentations of trade " upon revenue so as to draw particular conclu " sions, yet if we look back over a series of years " we shall find that this rule prevails—that for " every 10 or 12 millions added to our foreign trade, " since the bulk of that money is paid in one shape " or other for the remuneration of British labour, " about a million sterling never fails to come " back to us in the shape of increased consump " tion of taxpaying commodities." In this manner revenue wisely sacrificed for freedom of trade, which means freedom for energy and intelligence, is certain of replacement. It was impossible to speak of commerce and in dustry, their triumphs and their hopes, without thinking of the severe trials through which a large portion of our working population is passing. Mr. GLADSTONE reminded the rich of their duty, and spoke, what every Englishman feels, of the manner in which the distress in Lancashire is borne. He even doubts whether our English society contains any class that could have experienced equal priva tion with fortitude, resignation, and self-denial equal to that of the factory people. He is indignant at the advantage which some have meanly taken of their affliction to degrade them politically, by de priving those who have received parochial assist ance of their votes. He cannot help expressing a hope that when the subject of the elective franchise is again before the Legislature, the conduct of the men of Lancashire in 1862 may be favourably remembered and considered by the middle classes, and by all who may be called upon to deal with the question. The sentiment was warmly ap plauded by Mr. Gtenwronz's bearers, but it is one which we confess we read with something of alarm. On the part of the right hon. gentleman, the wish is undoubtedly both simple and sincere, but we hope it was well considered. This is not the first time that the common people have asto nished the country by the display of great virtues, nor the first time that men in high places, acknowledging the fact, have recog- nised in it a title to the political confi dence of those who now have the franchise. ip was so in 1848. " The noble proofs which, la 1848, all classes of the population gave of their loyal attachment to the Crown and to the existing institutions of the country," was the reason assigned by Cabinet Ministers in 1852 for an extension of the suffrage. Nothing was done. In the terrible crisis of the Crimean war still greater admiration was expressed for the people so grandly re _ presented on the heights of Iniermaini. Surely, it was exclaimed, the class from which these men have been taken have all the high qualities of Englishmen. But when the time came to put these emtiments to the test how was their sincerity evi denced t By such a recoil of middle-class Liberals as has rarely been seen in the history of the country. These things sink deep into men's minds, and should not be repeated. We must therefore express the hope that unless our public men not only desire to see an advance in the direction of political justice, but have some definite intentions on the subject, they will re frain from exciting hopes which are not to be , satisfied. _ From Lancashire to America the transition was easy. Mr. GLADSTONS has never concealed that he is favourable to Southern independence. From so impartial a mind we should have been glad to hear what best could be said for that cause. He does not think that the special interests of England will be served by the disruption ; he rather thinks it was for the interest of England that the Union should continue. One, and one only, reason for approving the separation he ven tures to name. It will leave the negroes with less compression on them than before— bhe compression of their own masters, instead of that of the entire Union. But can Mr. GLAD STONE think that it makes any practical difference to the slaves whether they are kept down by the Southern army which fought at Bull's Run and Antietam Creek, or by that and the Northern army added to it t We do not find fault with him for reoognisingfhe progress which the South has madein establishiog its independence. It is the proper business of a statesman to look before all things at the facts. Mr. JEFFERSON DAVIS has probably made a nation of the South, and in the place of a group of commu nities, with various pursuits, characters, and civi lization, developed in peace and freedom, we shall see "nations," which in Mr. DAvis's sense were pre viously unknown, with standing armies, standing navies, standing debts, and undying national enmities. It will be a poor day for England that ratifies this change in the character of her hereto fore prosperous customers. Mr. GLADIroNE spoke of the South. But he knows that North and South are not all. Could not he have said one word in favour of saving from the curse of slavery the vast countries which must fall to one or other of the combatants, but whose destiny is at present undecided? Since he spoke of British counsel as a possible element in the final settlement, he might have touched on that topic. But we must do him the justice of acknowledging that his re ferences to the North were most kindly and honourable. A gratifying offer bas been made to, and ac cepted by, the Manchester Albert Memorial Committee. The brickmakers of the district, anxious to give expression to their sympathy with her Majesty, have undertaken to supply, free of cast, the bricks required for the foundation of the memorial to be erected in that city to the late Prince Consort. The Duchess of Cambridge purposes paying her usual annual visit to Brighton in the course of a few days, accompanied by the Abeam Mary.

Signor Gavazzi was about to lecture on Italy in the town of Newry, but the magistrates received information that if he did so serious riots were certain to take place, which would end in the destructioe of property, perhaps loss of life. Two of them intimated this fact to the minister in • whose church the lecture was to be held, and, consequently, • the lecturer did not appear. . . .

GREAT BL-CENTENARY MEETING AT ST. JAMES'S HALL—Last evening a crowded meeting, in connexion with the Congregational Union of England and Wales, and to commemorate the ejectment of the 2,000 Norionciformht ministers of 1662, was held at St. James's-hall, Piccadilly, Mr. J. It. Mills in the chair, supported on the platform by a large body of Nonconformist ministers. The chairman opened the proceedings in strict speech, congratulating the =eating on the great manifestation of public sympathy and feeling that had been shown in celebration of the move ment and on its success as a public demonstration. The merits, labours, and sufferings of the ejected 2.000 were now fully vindicated and universally acknowledged, and would continue to be held up to the admiration not only of the present but of all future generations. (Applause.) Mr. Hadfield, M.P., proposed the first resolution, mottling with gratitude and admiration the mem or y of the 2,000 ejected ministers who, rather than surrender the faith that was in them, or submit to ecclesiastical tyranny, sub mitted to social degraiatiou and temporal loss, but whose Christian heroism gave a hallowed impulse to the interests of liberty, patriotism, and evangelical truth, and the influ ence of whose example is intimately connected with the present position and future well-being of the human family. Although they had received no assistance from the state, they were able by their own unaided assistance since 1662 to establish 25,000 chapels in the United Kingdom, with 3,000,000 of children in the Sundae-schools, and 350,000 gratuitous teachers. (Cheers.) All this has moreover bed the effect of renovating the church of England (Cheers.) The Dale, of Bermondsey, seconded the resolutioo, which was carried by acclamation, and other gentlemen having addressed the meeting, the pro ceedings terminated. LORD HELPER AND THE NEW POACHING Act. — At the Shire Hall, Nottingham, yesterday, Lord Helper, in delivering judgment in a ease which came under the new Poaching Act, said the defendant bad been proved to be on a footpath with nets for taking game in his ion. The magistrates had considered the wording of • new act, and they found that it was impossible to make any conviction unless it could be proved that the oats had been used for the taking of game. This had not been done, and the bench bad no alternative but to discharge the accused end restore the nets to him. Mr. Robert Snellie, surgeon, of Budding ton, Notts, was also charged before Lord Helper. the sitting magistrate, with poaching on land over which General Sir Arthur Clifton has the right of shooting. It appeared that on the 3rd instant the defendant was driving through the above-named preserves in his gig, and omairlonally the vehicle was stopped, and he shot several birds and • here. He was observed to get out of the gig to go and fetch the erne, and afterwards return. The beach convicted him and ordered him to pay a fine of 40a. LatTEirr ENTKILIGENCIL AMERICA.

The Canadian mail steamer Bohemian, Captain Borland, which left Quebec on the 27th ult., and which called off Cape Race for telegraphic des patches on the 30th ult., arrived in the river about 12.30 this morning. The telegraphic summaries have already been published, and the New York journals are only i one day later than those received by the Aus tralaaian. - -.

The combined rebel forces in Kentucky are esti , mated as follows : General Baas army Kirby Smith Humphrey Maniall 4,000 T0h1..... 59,000 Tbis may be further increased somewhat by raw recruits, but the combined forces will not probably exceed 60,000. There will no doubt be a desperate conflict in Kentucky soon. "A gentleman recently at Lexington reports that the rebels were arresting all members of the Home guard, and that a proclamation had been issued by Kirby Smith, giving notice that all those who after 40 days did not join the rebel army would be considered as aliens, and forfeit their property." The .New York Times also contains the following items of news .—" A force of rebels, said to number 6,000, was defeated on the 20th inst., at Shelby's Ford, Mo., about 10 miles north-west of Carthage, by the Srd Indiana regiment, commanded by Colonel Ritchie. The rebels lost from sixty to n;nety "Senator Flesher, of Jackson county, Western Virginia, was in Wheeling on Monday. He reports that on Tuesday evening, Sept. 16, 5,000 rebel occupied the village of Ripley, in Jackson county, and were threatening the Ohio border. This force came in pursuit of Lightburn, but was not quite quick enough to catch him. Lightburn sucoeeded in bringing through safely a train of about 650 waggons, the last one of which and the last man of his command had safely departed from Ravenswood on the same evening the rebels occupied Ripley. As before stated, Lightburn went to Point Pleasant, and now occupies a position on the Kanawha, above that place. He left his train, or the largest portion of it, on the Ohio aide. " A brigade of our cavalry, with two pieces of artillery, made a reconnoissance on Saturday and Sunday last to Ashby's Gap, which was found guarded by the 6th Virginia rebel cavalry. The enemy was engaged ; and dispersed with the loss of four killed and 12 wounded, who fell into our hands, and several others wounded, who were carried off. Among the prisoners is the rebel lieutenant colonel in command, and two lieutenants. We lost but one man." The following are the latest despatches published in the Canadian journals of the 27th Sept. : Harrisburg, 25th Sept. Governor Curtin reached Harrisburg today, and pro ceeded to Wuhington, where another meeting of the loyal governors will be held. There has been no official information from the army. Civilians arrive by every train from Harper's Ferry and Williamsport. They all confirm the news that no forward movement has been made by our forces. The Confederates can be distinctly seen on the opposite side of the river at Williamsport and Falling Waters. General Lee's head-quarters are at the latter place. It is believed that though succeesful in dispersing the cavalry guard recently holding Ashby's Gap, Colonel It. B. Price, of the 2nd Penn. cavalry failed to accomplish what must have been the main object of the expedition, the destruction of 900 waggons of Lee's army, known to have been at the time lying three miles beyond that Gap.

Ana.them Lnrcou. By the President, WILLIAM H. SZWAED, Secretary of State. President Lincoln was serenaded on the night of the 24th ult., and in response made the following brief speech : Fellow Citizens,—l appear before you to do little more than acknowledge the courtesy you pay me, and to thank you for it. I have not been distinctly informed why it is on this occasion you appear to do me this honour, though I suppose—(interruptions)--it is because of the proclamation. (Cries of "Good," and applause.) I was about to say I I suppose I understand it. (Laughter.) (Voices; "That you do ; you thoroughly understand it.") What I did I did after very full deliberation sod under a very heavy and solemn sense of reeponsibility. (Cries of " Good. good !" " Bless you!" and :applause.) I can only trust in God I have made no mistake. (Cries, "No mis take—all right —you have made no mistakes yet. Go ahead, you are right.") I shall make no attempt on this occasion to sustain what I have done or said by any comment. (Voices—" That is unnecessary, we under stand it.") Nis now for the country and the world to par judgment on it, and, may be, take action upon it. I will as, no more on the subject. In my position I am surrounded with difficulties. (A voice, "That's so.") Yet they are I scarcely soared as the difficulties of those who, upon the battle Geld, are endeavouring to purchase with their blood and their lives the future happiness and prosperity of this country. (Applause, long and continued.) Let us never forget them. On the 14th and 17th days of the present month there have been battles bravely. skilfully, and successfully fought. (Applause.) We do not yet know the particulars. Let us be sure that in giving proles to particular individuals we do no injustice to others. I only ask you, at the conclusion of these few remarks, to give three hearty cheers to all good and brave of and men who fought the successful battles• Cheer after cheer was given, when the President bade the crowd good night and withdrew. The serenaders then proceeded to the residence of Mr. Chase, who addressed them in a abort speech, as did General Cassius M. Clay. The crowd then accompanied the band to the residence of Attorney-General Bates, who likewise addressed them. The whole of tho proceedings were said to be7of the most enthusiastic nature, and the several speakers were loudly cheered. NEW YORK, SEPT. 26. The Richmond Enquirer claims the battle of Antietam as a great Confederate victory. It was directed by General Lee in person, with 60,003 men in his command. The Confederate accountl makes the Federal force at the battle amount to 150,000. General Jackson commanded the left of the Confederate line ; General Hill the right, and General Longetreet the centre. It is admitted that the Federal artillery was used with fearful effect, and that upon the whole the battle was the most severe of the entire campaign. The following is a list of the commanding officers killed and wounded in the engagement :—General Stark (of Missouri), commanding Jackson's division, and Brigade-General Branch (of North Carolina), killed. Brigadier-Generals R. H. Anderson, Wright (of Georgia), Lawson, Armisted, Ripley, and Ran som (of North Carolina), wounded. The steamship Ariel has arrived from California, with 887,000 dole. in treasure. The news from the isthmus is not important. Moequi had seized all the church property, and banished the priests, and sent the nuns out of the country. The priests managed to carry off all the valuables. Aspina and Calvo doubtless escaped to St. Thomas's on the English steamer. This will prolong the war, as will the recent treaty be tween Ecuador and Arboleda, as the former will probably assist the late government. LOUISVILLE, SEPT. 24, Mumma% General Buell has just arrived. The enemy seem to be concentrating at Bloom field. About 12,000 of them were seen thi: morning beyond Salt River, on the Bardstown River. Louisville is now considered entirely safe. General Nelson has issued an order permitting to-morrow a general resumption of business, the issuing of passes to loyal citizens, and the discharge of all enrolled citizens from military duty. On the 21st inst. three regiments of cavalry, nn4er M'Cook, drove 8,000 rebel cavalry out of Mums fordsville without any Federal loss. The Confede rates lost a colonel and a lieutenant-colonel. Our forces had slight skirmishing all along the road thitherward, capturing numerous small squads of rebels. Colonel Edward M'Cook, commanding a brigade of 2nd Indiana, Ist and 3rd Kentucky, was at Elizabeth this morning, on the way up. At several points lie killed 47 rebels in the aggregate, and, iu conjunction with Kennett's command, took 1,500 rebel prisoners and 24 waggon loads of provisions. The New York journals of the 25th ult. contain nothing that is not already known in reference to the army of the Potomac. As regards affairs in Kentucky, the New York Times says :—" Our reports from Louisville indi cats the expectation of an immediate attack upon the city by the rebels. The places of business were closed, and the military authorities were impressing unenrolled persons to work on the entrenchments. The advance of Humphrey Marshall was under- (Per Edinburgh, vitt Roahe's Point.) A special provost marshal general has been ap pointed with Lead-quarters at Washington. Provost marshals will be nominated in all the states, and will receive their instructions from the provost marshal general at Washington. They will arrest deserters and all disloyal persons, and inquire into treasonable practises. Ninety-seven of General Pope's officers have been released from Richmond on parole. GERMANY. A Munich letter in the Mouiteur has the fol lowing : The congress of the partisans of a "great Germany," which is to assemble at Frankfort on the 19th of the present mouth, in opposition to the meeting recently held at Weimar to defend the doctrine of • " restricted Germany," commences to occupy public attention. In presence of those different assemblies, the German populations, instead of beoomiog agitated and excited about vain theories, as in the years which preceded the unlucky period of 1848, now look on attentively, listen, reflect, and seem to wait for the question to become sufficiently explained be fore deciding. The Congress of Frankfurt will have this advantage—to characterise the views of those who desire to preserve tho principle of the existence of a Diet, by gradually ameliorating it, starting from the maintenance of the unity of the Confederation. In Austria, inquiry upon inquiry is being made to show the propriety of Austria entering the Zollverria. All the Chambers of Commerce of the empire, iodustrial associations, and heads of manufac tories are called upon to give their opinion on the question, whilst awaiting the moment when the commercial congress, which is about to open at Munich, shall give its decision and enlighten public opinion. PRUSSIA. The motion of M. Forkenbeck, just adopted by the Prussian Chamber of Deputies, declares that the government will be invited to submit, with the least possible delay, the budget of 1863 to the chamber, iu such a manner as that the passing of it may take place before the Ist of January, 1863, with the remark that if the government makes any outlay, formerly and definitely rejected by the national representatives, it violates the consti tution. THE AMNESTY IN ITALY. The following is the full text of M Rattazzi's report on the amnesty, a brief abstract of which has already been received by telegraph : Sire„—The causes which had hitherto obliged your govern ment to advise you to resist the generous impulse of your heart towards General Garibaldi and his accomplices have ceased. The authority of the laws is being every where consolidated ; confidence in the frank es well as prudent policy inaugurated by you has tempered the impatience which drove that general into the path of rebellion, and to the catastrophe of Aspromoute, where he could not but become aware that if he was enabled to per form prodigies while he fought against the enemies of the country and liberty, it was not so when, forgetful of his duty, he drew the sword aping your rights, whatever might be the object he had is view. From this deplorable example there arises a salutary lesson for us all. Italy, feeling herself now ensure against the attempts of factions, and remembering the warrior* rendered by General Garibaldi to the cams of oatiooal unity, ardently desires to forget that he has for a moment been deaf to the voice of duty, to your admonitions and to the laws. This desire has found an echo throughout the civilised world, among all warm partisans of Italian liberty and unity, who fear nothing so much for Italy as a return to the intestine discord which kept her so long divided, and made her an easy prey to foreign ambition. The oblivion of past off sores, which all implore in favour of the principal author, is with still greater reason invoked in favour of those who, attracted by the prestige which attaches to his I name, followed him in hie unfortunate enterprise. It is no longer necessary to resist these wishes. From their fulfilment the policy of the government will acquire strength without endangering the political constitution which has entrusted to your bands the power of satisfying the desire of the nation and that of your heart without weakenior the laws which protect the public peace. When it was necessary to put down the rebellion, to restore authority to the laws which had been contemned, and to consolidate public order, your council did not hesitate to propose the most stringent measures. All danger being now put, it willingly consents to be the interpreter of the universal wish, and implores your Majesty to perform an act of clemency which, effacing the memory of one of the most painful episodes of our national regenerstioe, easy have the effect of leaving nothing alive but the memory of the services rendered to the country end the dynasty. None but the enemies of Italy, who rejoiced eh the Musa! of a civil war, will feel disappointed at this act Ishandal to maintain unscathed and united all the fowls and glory el the nation. It was the wish of your government that the amnesty might be complete, and that all those who had incurred punishment accordieg to law by joining the eeterprise checked on the battlefield of Aspromonte, might be re leased from all judicial penalties. Rat the necessity of upholding in every emergency the high principle of duty which renders the army the protector of all rights and liberties, does not permit us to comprise in the amnesty the soldiers belonging to the army or navy who, on this occasion, violated the laws which especially concerned them, or failed in the allegiance due to their prince. The honour of our flag forbids us to recognise in the acts imputed to them those extenuating circumstances which stand in favour of other not engaged in the military service. Your ministers are well aware bow painful the exception they propose, and to which they attach the greatest import ance, must be to your paternal heart. This amnesty, sire, is not without precedent under our free institutions. The tacit consent which parliament and public opinion gave on former occasions to similar acts, induce the council of the crown to submit to your Majesty a decree which may convince both Italy and Europe of your magnanimity, of the strength of the government, and of the spirit of concord which animates the people which rejoices in having you for a father and a Bing. This report is followed by a royal decree, detail the 6th, comprising the following articles : Art. 1. The anthem and aocomplices of the seta and attempts at rebellion which took place in August last in the southern provinces, are exempted from all judicial liability on this account, provided they have not committed any com mon crimes. _ _ _ Art. 2. The soldiers of the land and sea forces are ex cepted from this amnesty. GARIBALDIAN SOLDIERS CONDEMNED TO BE SHOT. The court-martial on five of the Chribalclian soldiers, who were made prisoners at Aspromonte and who deserted from their regiments, was com menced on the 21st nit. The charges against them were desertion and treason in bearing arms against the state. The court was composed of six captains of infantry, artillery, and engineers, Col. Caval chini being president. The trial lasted the whole day, and a great many persons were present. The accused were defended in an eloquent speech by Gatti de Fontanel, an officer, but they were con demned to be shot. They will appeal, it is sup posed, to the royal clemency. SICILY. The correspondent of the Suck thus describes the state of Sicily : The state of Sicily is regarded with anxiety by all Italians Palermo in particular seems to be the stronghold d bands of assassins, who act on a large scale and with incredible boldness. For example, in a single evening thirteen pewee were pounced upon by men who wee disguised as bows sad assassinated. Political passions have ascribed thaws smug nations to this or that political party, but that they have no political bearing is proved by the fact that the wounded persons belong to all shades of opinion. Some are Garibaldians, some belong to the moderate party, do. General Brignone, the lieutenant•general, has, under these circumstances, adopted the unexpected step of a general disarmament of the population, with the exception of the public force, the natiowd hoard, the consuls, and consular agents. This step, which wee wholly unexpected, has produced a strong feeling amongst the people, who think that the disarmament will only render them a more easy prey to stamina. A long list of decorations, promotion', and honourable mentions given to the troops engaged at Aspromonte has been published. General Pallavicini and Colonel Eberhart have been promoted to the grade of Commander of the Military Order of Savoy. Although those who were with Garibaldi are called rebels in the report of M. Rattazzi, it is now well known that Garibaldi wrote to the King from Catania., " Sire,—Let me act ; fear nothing. I will get you crowned in the capitol. Then only will you be truly King of Italy." FINLAND. " A despatch from Finland," says Le Temps, "gives a sad account of the state of that country. The continual cold and moisture of the summer have quite blasted the hopes of the farmers. A ter rible famine is the consequence. It appears from estimates published in the papers that 370,000 per sons ont of &population of only 1,800,000 are deprived of all resources." The Journal of Heleingfors, writing on this subject, says :—" All look forward with the utmost eagerness to the meeting of the promised Diet, because, unless the National Assem bly be convoked, the people of Finland may have recourse to measures which would only add to the existing misfortune." In the sad year of 1809 the people of Finland proved that they could endure without complaint the most cruel sufferings in the defence of national independence. But seeing that half a century of dependence has only aggrieved their condition, they are beginning to feel that the burden is too heavy to be any longer en dured." (acorn's =LOMAX& ) FRANCE. X. FOULD'S FINANCIAL REPORT. PARIS. OCT. 9. The Mowiteur of this morning publishes a report addressed by M. Fould, Minister of Finance, to the Emperor, on the financial condition of the empire. M. Fould says :—" The adoption of the mea sures I proposed to your Majesty in January last has enabled me to draw up the budget for 1863 with a surplus in the revenue of 8,360,041 francs. The result for the first six months of 1861 was an increase of 50 million francs. The revenue yet to be expected during 1862 will enable us to provide in 1863 for any supplementary expenses caused by the Mexican expedition." The minister coutiuues:—" I can confidently state that the balancing of the public revenue and expenditure is assured for 1863." M. Fould then gives a tabular statement of all the supplementary credits to be granted for 1863, and enumerates the sources whence they are to be provided. It results from this statement that the financial year of 1862 will add nothing to tLe amount of former deficits. The deficit on Jan. 1, 1862, reached the amount of 1,024,503,0001 r. This amount has been reduced to 807,000,000 fr. by the results of the conversion of the Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Rentes. Here follow details relative to the conversion, from which it results that the amount paid into the treasury on account of the conversion of the Four-and-a-Half per Ceut. Rentes is 167,631,289 fr. 39,236,885 fr. of Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Rentes are still in circulation. Half of this amount has not been converted because the holders are prevented from so doing by legal obstacles. The remainder cannot prevent the rise of the Three per Cent. Rental, the quotation of which now regulates our public credit. M. Fould further says :—" The principal aim of this financial operation has already been attained. The reclassification of the Bente appears complete, and the evidence of this is to be found in the statistical details of the operations which the departments, through tee i medium of the chief revenue collectors, are making in conjunction with the treasury. The conversion has had considerable influence upon all other credit securities, and has facilitated the execution of great public works." The report then states that 676,160 obligations trentenoulires have also been presented to ' the treasury, and the greater portion of them exchanged for Three per Cent. Rentes. 70,542 of these obligations only remain in circulation. M. Fonld's whole financial statement may be summed up as follows:—"The amount of the deficits previous to 1862 has been reduced by 157,000,000 francs. The year 1863 will commence with a reserve which is estimated at 80,000,000 fr. which is destined to provide for unforeseen evente." K Yould concludes by giving assurances that the budget for 1864 will contain no arrangements liable to cause any increase in taxation. The Moniteur also announces that the Emperor arrived last night at St. Cloud. EMPRESS FROM PARIS MOM OUR OWN 001/ZIWONDINT.) PARIS. WEDNISDAT EVERIXG. The Pays, an " officious" journal--see the Ga zette de Pramee's definition of the term—says that the Emperor will leave Biarritz for St. Cloud on Friday next. The Patric, another officious journal, announces that the Emperor did leave Biarritz at 8 o'clock this morning, and will be at St. Cloud in the course of the night. It is hard for a foreigner to decide between two such local authorities ; but still I presume to pro. phecy that the telegraph will confirm the latter ver sion, which is in accordance with the information I transmitted yesterday. The eternal Marquis Pepoli, who is always com ing to Paris, is looked for .gain soon from Swit zerland, where he is now recreating. The object of his present mission is said to be the resumption of negotiations for the commercial treaty with Italy. That mission will, I presume, be contingent upon his continuing to hold office, and on this point the latest letters from Italy speak very doubtfully. His journey to Switzerland is, indeed, spoken of as evidence of his resignation. The 20th of this month is mentioned as the probable day of K Rattazzi's arrival at Marseilles. The Bourse, after considerable fluctuation, has somewhat recovered from the heavy fall of the last two days. The Rents opened very briskly, at an advance on yesterday's closing price, and advanced rapidly to 721 r., from which point it receded to 71fr. 70c. ; then it rallied again, and closed with much firmness at 71fr. 75c. for cash, and 72fr. for account, with a rise of 45c. and 25c. Mobilier rose 43fr. 75c. The Italian Loan was favoured by a report that IL Sella, the Turin Finance Minister, has published documents showing that the resources of the treasury are sufficient to dispense with any new loan this year. After having been quoted as low as 731 r. 80c., this security closed at 741 r. 25c., with a rise of lfr. In railway shares the only notable changes were a rise of 7fr. 50c. in Orleans, and of bfr. in Southern. _ _ _ There is a rumour that the Moniker of Sunday will contain a financial report by M. Fould ; but I think this must be altogether contingent upon the council to be held after the Emperor's return to Paris. The Temp repents itself that, like other journals, it gave too ready currency to Bourse ru mours of a forced conversion of the remaining Four-and-a-Half per Cents. ; it now observes that a law will be necessary, which cannot be passed till the Corps Legislatif meets in January. This is an incidental assertion of a fact not public, or by any means certain, that there will be a meeting of the legislature in that month. I have, however, reason to think that the dissolution cannot be delayed beyond February, and that there will be a short session previously. M. Anselme Petetin, who some short time since obtained the snug berth of director of the imperial printing-office, as a compensation for the low of the prefecture of Savoy, which his unpopularity there made untenable, has just been appointed a councillor of state in ordinary service, Aar section. This means that he receives a councillor of state's salary, and has nothing to do for it. The France is at pains to illuminate what for the general public might be dark in this nomina tion. It explains that it is a mark of special favour granted by the Emperor as a reward to M. Anselme Petetin, for having been the first writer in the press to broach the annexation of Savoy and Nice. This example is a manifest encouragement to annexation writers disposed to try their ingenuity on the Rhine frontier, and doubtless many of them will " go and do likewise."
