A very general apprehension had come to be entertained that the exigencies of the public service would render such a re-imposition almost indispensable. Happily the elasticity of the national resources has proved far greater than under all circumstances could have been expected; and had the remitted portion of the tax been renewed, the estimates would have shown a considerable sur plus. Mr. DISRAELI has, we think, shown a wise discretion in not unnecessarily resorting to a re source so generally odious as a re-imposed blooms tax. People are ceder no kind of oompelsion either to drink Irish whisky or keep banking amounts; lint that extra Itl. in the posed which we had just congratulated ousel yes on having escaped from, is a burden which it would have been impartible to elude. Thee is all the difference in the world between a tax on commodities which we need not consume unless we like, and a tax on the very means without which we cannot live. A tax from which there is practically no escape ; a tax messed unequally and ascertained inquisitorially, must always be odious. If we cannot get rid of it alto gether, let us at least have as little of it ai we can. A Budget that, rather than replace on the whole middle class of the three kingdoms a burden they had just shaken off, imposes a new duty on Irish spirits and a penny stamp on bankers' cheques, ought to have more to hope from the support of the many than to apprehend from the clamour of the few. Apart from the Banking and Whisky inte rest, the reception given to Mr. DISRAELI'S Budget by the House of Commons was on the whole favour able ; and the new Administration may, according to present appearances, feel some confidence that they have contrived to extricate themselves without dis credit from one of the most formidable more of the Session.

(IT SUIMATIMI ♦RD Barris. ramtansre.) PARIS. TOWIDAT 1101NING. The Ceesstitutiiwnsi contains an article signed by M. Renee, the director, in which it says : "No honest man in France or England can doubt the guilt of Bernard. We will only say to those of our neighbuurs who desire the maintenance of good relations between the two countries, that if the speech of Mr. Edwin James, filled with gall, with calumnies, and with insults against the Emperor, the people, the army, and our institutions, should unfortunately be circu lated in Franee, in the cities, the barracks, and the country towns, it would be difficult for the govern ment, with the best intentions, to stay the effects of public indignation." (rams one ows COILIMPONDENT. PARIS, MONDLT EVINING., The Unicers publishes the following article, signed" Louis Veuillot :" The English jury has acquitted Simon Bernard; the English people has saluted this crowning result of the trial with hurrahs ; and the English judges, who souk* not help detaining the prisoner to answer the secondary charge, saw dated themselves with the scandal of his acquittal, as far as they were able, by declaring that they would accept bail. How complete le all this, and how cynical. Nothing is want ing. While the trial was pending, Ilambil published • letter, reproduced by several journals, more insulting and provoking to the Emperor than anything which the refugees have hitherto ventured upon even in their most revolting productions. If the English government did not desire this result, all that can be said is that the Tress governs opinion; and if it did desire it, then the Them is the organ of its sentiments. In either case France now knows whet to think of the inmost heart of the English. Being neither the worst nor the champions of modern civilisation in general, nor English civilisation in particular, we have nothing more to say. Between two powerful and friendly nations a dis cussion arose on a question which may be called the " Amanda question," and one of these nation. decides the question against the other, and in favour of amusing. Such is the list and owe of the most remarkable features of European patios is the 19th century. Let us be candid, and add that, considering the real state of things, the infamous hurrahs of the Criminal Court in London are, in our opinion, far prefer able to the inflated compliment; with which the corporation of Dover but the day before wearied the frank nature of the Duke of Malakoff. No doubt these compliments, full of pro fessions, were very English, but the triumphant shouts which greeted the acquittal of Bernard are the heart of Ragland herself. It is the fashion in government circles in France to declaim against the licence of the English press. I defy anyone to turn over the files of English papers for years past, and find among them all so much libellous matter against France as is concen trated in the above few lines. And yet, while the English press is uncontrolled, nothing can be pub lished in France which is presumably nupleasing to her ruler, and the above ie signed by a man enjoying his especial favour. It is a virulent attack upon the English judges, an English jury, the corporation of Dover, the English government, the English press, and the English people. It is the language of a fiendish enemy, boiling over with hatred and malice. It may well be despised. This kind of thing has been carried too far. The firmness of the English jury will speedily prove to every mind that there is nothing to be frightened about. The leek must be eaten. The Court chaplain, Father Ventura, is about to publish to-morrow the sermons preached before the Emperor in Lent, and, with due regard to the fitness of things, the preface is written by the Court journalist, M. Louis Veuillot, of the Univers. The intention to confiscate the best part of the garden of the Tuileries for the private use of the Emperor and Empress, is now confessed by the Moniteur in the following artfully-worded para graph : - The garden of the Taileries is about to undergo a double modifloation. A new entrance will be made for the public on the terrace which runs parallel with the river, opposite the Rue Csatiglione gate, which new entrance will face a bridge about to be made to connect the quay of the Tuileries with the Quay d'Oresy, at the terminus of the Rue Bella cheese. At the same time that part of the garden which is reserved for their Majesty's promenades will be prolonged as far maths great basin of the parterres, and the public entrance by the quay will be removed to a point CORM. pending with that line. The existing gate opposite the Rue des Pyramides will remain open, as also will the public promenade on the Terrace des Feuillants end the adjoining avenue. These changes will facilitate communica tka between the quarter of the Rue de la Pala and the Fauboarg St. Germain, while giving the necessary extension to the reserved gardens. It will be long before the entire population of Paris will be brought to believe this news, so incre dible does it appear. But the high, park-like palings already in course of erection to bar out the people from the inheritance of their forefathers speak to the senses of all who have occasion to cross the garden., and will, I venture to say, influence many a vote on Sunday next. I believe the first news which appeared in print in Paris of this enor mous infringement of national rights was in the Express which arrived here yesterday. It was universally disbelieved, and confident as I was in the accuracy of the source from which my inform: tion was derived, I really began to fear that there must be some mistake, so positively did people, devoted to the Emperor's government, assure me that he would never dream of taking away one yard of the Tuileries garden from the public, to whose use it had been consecrated without interrup tion ever since it had been laid out by Le Notre in the time of Louis XIV. I was told in explanation of the rumour, that it had long been contemplated to continue the Rae de la Paix across the gardens to the Rue Bellechssee, by means of a new bridge, and that possibly some improvementmight be made in that part of the garden nearest to the Palace, but that all those improvements would be for the benefit of the public. Frenchmen got angry with me when I said I knew the confiscation was going to be effected. " What," they said, " can the Emperor not be satis fied to enjoy the Tuileries in that co-partnership with the public with which the two branches of the Bourbons and his uncle Napoleon the Great were content? If he wants private gardens has he not St. Cloud within half an hour's drive, to say nothing of Fontainebleau and Compiegne, at two hours' dis tance ? And, moreover, has he not, within ten minutes' walk of the Tuileries, the Palace of the Elyse., where there is a large umbrage ous and beautiful garden entirely walled in ? " " Further," said these indignant remonstrants, " the Emperor does not like the Tuileries as a residence, and does not mean to live there." He has been heard to say, " The Tuileries shall be my St. James's, and the Elysee my Buckingham House." It may be observed, by the way, that shiploads of money have been sank in the Elysee within the last three or four years. Parts of the building have been rebuilt, pulled down, and rebuilt again many times over as changes of mind occurred, and now a palace far exceeding the original propor tions is nearly completed. Why all these merifless if not to make a comfortable private residence for the sovereign ? It was asserted that the whole story was a gross and palpable calumny, and that so sensible a man as the Emperor would never take a step without any adequate cause, which more than any other would eseteinly make him enemies in Paris. I was told that the gardens of the Tuileries were not only national, but European prope;t;7 o merely the decue et tutatem of Paris, but the prid e of the world, the cherished remembrance of all former visitors, and the fairest picture imprinted on the expectant mind of visitors to come. "The man who believes that the Emperor will Tic. late this universal property must," said a Frenchman to me," be insane." Bat now the Moniteur has spoken, and there can be no doubt about the matter. The reserved gardens are to be extended " for the pr o . menade of their Majesties." And what does thi s extension comprise? Why, all the best statues—au the prettiest parterres, and the ponds with the gold fish. If there were any law in the country, th e outrage would be resisted ; bat there is none beyond what is tolerated by power. The Emperor is en. titled to the " enjoyment " of the royal chiteanz and rerks, but he has no right to use them in sack a manner as to be inconsistent with th e time-honoured rights of the public. He might just as well attach the gallery of the Louvre wit! all the national paintings to hie private residents. The thing is done suddenly and stealthily, with consciousness of wrong. Not only ie the legislature not consulted, but even the compliment to form decree is not vouchsafed. The works are begun, and then, when foreign journals disclose the object in view, the Moniteur, not in the columns where it prints important news, but among the fait divert, the accidents and offences, announces in deceptive form the intention to commit an act which will make every citizen of Paris feel that he is robbed of his birthright. Some people may perhapesay, "Look what the Emperor has done; see the Bois de Boulogne, the Louvre, the Boulevard de Sebastopol, &c. ; how ungracious is it to grudge him a little private garden adjoining his own Mi. dence !" Let those who know Paris well judge of the weight of this argument. The lakes and rocks in the Bois de Boulogne are, no doubt, delightful for those who have carriages and leisure. But it is a day's work for a poor man to go to see them. A beautiful piece of architecture, indeed, is the Louvre, bat what compensation is it to sit upon the hot atones in the interior of that building for those who are deprived of the cooling fountains, the green sward, the fragrant flower.beds, the orange groves, the clear air, and the tranquility of the Tuileries gardens—all in the centre of the city, and within a few minutes' walk from the home of thousands P The question, however, is not oiled compensation, bat of property. The people haves right to what is taken away from them without pre. text or apology, and I am sure that those who Mas counselled the confiscation have immensely on. derrated the resentment that will follow it. Yon will have remarked that the opening sentesos of the paragraph in the Moniteur represents the first "modification " as being a boon to the public. The new gate and bridge is to put the Rue de is Paix is connexion with the Faubourg St. Germain. This, even taken by itself, is scarcely any boon at all ; for the Rue Bellechmee, which will be brought a little nearer, is not much frequented, wheresa Rue de Bee, the most populous part of the For bong St Germain, which was hitherto &ppm:lW by the gate now to be shut up, by the Pavillon ds Flee, will be further off than it was before. Bet admitting the convenience to certain localities sf • five minutes saving' in the communication betwen the two quarters, that is no satisfaction for the cce• 'location of the Tuileries garden. The Bourse has been even worse than it was cs any day last week. The acquittal of Bernard Ind undoubtedly a depressing influence, bat still i it obvious that if any really serious consequences were apprehended from that event the effect would ban been much greater. The Rente fell 26c. for reel and 20c, for account, closing at 69fr. 10c. and 61ffr. Mobilier was comparatively firm, and cloud at Saturday's price..

Disitaufe Financial Statement has, at all events, the merit of being neither very complicated nor unreasonably diffuse. A certain amplitude of manner and redundancy of expression appear, by the general consent of all Chancellors of the Exchequer, to be regarded as absolutely indispensable in ad dressing the Committee of Ways and Means. Mr. DISRAELI, though he may not have abused, yet did not entirely forego this traditional prerogative of being tedious. The journalist, who has no such pre scriptive rights of periphrasis, will probably be ex cused in coming at once to the point. The first question is, what is the amount of our expenditure for the year 1838-69 ?—the second is, how to provide for it ?—the third, how to make good the deficiency? The total charge for the financial year is 87,110,0001., made up of the following items: —The charge for the funded and unfunded debts, in other words, the interest payable to the public creditor, is 24,800,0001. The charge on the Conso lidated Fund is 1,900,0001 4 showing an increase of 200,0001. on the charge last year, in consequence principally of that compensation to the Proctors which Mr. MALINS, as the fugleman of the vested interest party, was mainly instrumental in procur ing. Our Army and Militia are to cost us 11,750,0001., our Navy 9,860,0001. For Civil Services, itcluding Law, Pollee, and Education, the nut required is 7,000,0001., being 400,0001. less than last year. Of this amount Education alone absorbs one million. The charge for the Revenue de partment is 4,700,0001. The last two items of the account are the War Sinking Fund, which is a million and shalt, and two millions of Exchequer Bonds, the liquidation of which falls due next month. To meet this outlay of 87,000,0001. (in round numbers), the estimated revenue of the finan cial year is a little over 63,000,0001. It is calculated, and apparently on safe grounds, that to this total the Customs will contribute 23,800,0001., the Excise 18,100,0001., Stamps 7,530,0001., Income Tax 6,100,0001., Taxes (land and assessed) 3,200,0001., Post-office 3,200,0001., Crown Lands 270,0001., Miscellaneous 1,300,0001. The amount of deficiency to be made good is, in round numbers, 4,000,0001. This deficiency is occa sioned, not by:any falling off in the ordinary sources of revenue, but by a cessation of taxation, and an en gagement to pay an extraordinary amount of debt. Mr. DisaAEas mode of meeting it is, primarily, by getting rid of two items of debt; secondarily, by imposing a trifling amount of new taxation. He doe. not propose to reimpose the lapsed 2d. of the Income Tax, which will continue to stand at 3d. till further orders.: The two items of debt he proposes to deal with are the War Sinking nod of 1,600,0004 and the 2,000,0001. of Exchequer Bonds which are just falling due. The latter he proposes to renew, by fresh bonds, of the same amount, of which 1,000,0001. is to fall due in the year 1862, and the residue in the year 1863. The payment of monies on account of the War Sinking Fund is to be deferred till the country is again in possession of a bow' i fa* surplus. Few perhaps will be inclined to contest the principle that to raise loans or impose taxes, in order to create an artificial sinking fund, is a circuitous piece of financial pedantry. If our income exceeds our expenditure, it should, of coarse, be appropriated to the liquidation of debt; but to incur debt in order to pay off debt is an operation hardly less objectionable in the CIAO of governments than it is ruinous in the case of individuals. By thus suspending the War Sinking Fund and deferring the period for the liquidation of the Exchequer Bonds, Mr. DISRAELI sweeps away 3,600,0001. of his 4,000,0001. deficiency. He has still 500,0001. re maining to provide for before he can make both enda meet. His mode of accomplishing this very necessary purpose is by imposing two new taxes. By the first he equalises the duty on Irish and British spirits; raising it on the former from 03e. 2d. a gallon to Bs., the duty now imposed on the latter. The calculated produce of this increase of duty is 600,0001., the exact sum wanted for tilling up the deficit. In order, however, to be quite sure about the matter, and to secure a little elbow-room, Mr. DISRAELI falls back upon a device, familiar to more than one of his pre decessors, of imposing a penny stamp on all bankers' cheques. Such is the financial scheme of the new CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. The imposition of new taxes, however small in amount, is necessarily un palatable to the climes more immediately affected by them. That the banking interest should protest against the penny stamp on drafts was of course to be expected, but it is difficult to conceive how a tax so trifling can seriously impede the current of those payments which are principally made by cheque. On this point, however, Mr. OLEN is very positive, and threatens serious representations from the City. Of coarse, too, the discovery has been made that common justice to Ireland demands a differential duty of la. 10d. a gallon in favour of the ardent spirits which are manufactured in the country of St. Patrick; but the representatives of England and Scotland will scarcely reciprocate the sentiment which has kindled such a flame of patriotism in GROGAN, and FAQAN, and BAGWELL. There are few subjects on which the imposition of high duties is leas objectionable than on spirits, and however the increase of the tax may affect the Irish consumer, Mr. Draamtu and Sir 0. Lewis are probably correct in anticipating that its equalisation will rather be a benefit than a detriment to the producer. In disclaiming all intention of seeking to re-impose the lapsed 2d. of the Income Tar, Mr. Dismay bag probably pecured the (substantial popularity et THE AUSTRIANS IN ITALY. A letter from Piacenza of April 10, in the 6114911 C of Turin, says that the concentration of Anetriu upon the Sardinian frontier is occasionieg rarer remark. The Austrian garrison of Pieces (in the Duchy of Parma) is continually augmented, and a detachment of HO men had arrived that ray. Their violence and insolent bearing continually es cite the resentment and indignation of the mlie bitants. An officer of the detachment just mini chose to lodge in the apartments belonging tads Marquis Filippo Anguissols, who happened then to be out of town. The Amnia officer demanded the keys, which the Nig de ehatnbre of the marquis refused to give up tolls. The doors were then broken open, and the Anti* in spite of all protestations, installed himself lade coveted abode. More than a hundred perm be. longing to the city bad been drawn together by the rumour of this outrageous act, but were obliged to remain passive lookers on at the invasion et their fellow-townsman's dwelling. The Austrian gaud in command having ordered the officer to be gut tered there, the order was put into ezecatioa by military force, and the mayor of Placenta, fladiag that he eoald not assert Parmese civic authority le opposition to Austrian bayonets, immediately re signed his office.
