Ti:.overture which, corspcsed of reports sod viol 'finances and amended legislation, served as infra, cloths, blankets, implements and a hundred articles at such that they can well afford to pay so for salt and sugar. Here, rather remov.il of the tax on liberty to exercise a trade, lies the true compensation of the artisan class. It would not do, however, to tell the working classes so, especially on the eve of the opening of the Chambers, where the manufacturer has many organs, but where the poor consumer, even under & law of universal suffrage, has none, the defence of Free Trade being left solely to officials. These officials, in the face of such a Chamber, cannot make use of the true arguments on which their policy is based. And M. Force himself is obliged to argue the success of the Commercial Treaty from the assumed fact of its not having made any great change after all. Let us, how ever, not cavil with the line of argument pursued by the French Minister, and content ourselves with his declaration that the Commercial Treaty is • permanent achievement, of which any states man might be proud. vehicle to .11. Ft, tu'A schemea Reformed Finance, was too striking, too loud, and too triumphant not to detract considerably from the importance and interest of the pioce itself, whenever it should come to he played. Accordingly, the financial pro ject just published in the columns of the J/ *trnr, whilst it cannot be said to fail in any of the promises held out, still falls vastly short of what was conceived of it. Indeed, the savings which it effects, and the changes which it announces, either in taxation or expenditure, are of such secondary importance, that one is inclined to ask why the Evrer.oit should have taken so serious a step as coming forward to confess a fault and to promise that it should not again occur, when so little advantage is taken of the grateful sentiments which such an act inspired. Whilst the French Minister confesses to a defi cit of 40 millions sterling, the only resource opened to meet it is the conversion of the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. into Three per Cents. The holders are to pay for the difference of value in their stock. The holders of the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are, however, as the Minister admits, per sons of humble fortune, living upon the interest. Yet it is from this class that IL FOrLD looks to raise twelve millions sterling, and merely in order that they may enjoy the same revenue se before. Were fuel an offer made to capitalists we can un derstand their acceptance of it. But to come down upon the petits rentiers with such a demand at sueh a time cannot, we think, prove other than a measure both unpopular and impracticable. The Finance Minister divides the public ex penditure into ordinary and extraordinary, besides local, which we need not take into account. The extraordinary expenditure is that the nature and destination of which is not put down in the Budget. We can see no reason for the division. There is nothing in the extraordinary expenses which might not be precisely estimated, described, and set down in the regular Budget. They amount in M. Fol. cob estimate to six millions sterling, a portion of which is for war services, and the remainder for public works. This will leave the French Army and Navy Department the facility of spending some millions beyond the estimates set down, and in a way which the public of France or of Europe cannot seize or appreciate. Barely it would be better and fairer to settle at ones In t►e regular Budget what public works are to be executed, sad then leave such margin as may be considered requisite for the War-office. What is most remarkable in M. Fot - to'+ ar rangement is, that as regular a provision is made for the extraordinary as for the ordinary expenses. They have, in fact, their own budget, the duties upon salt and sugar being especially raised in order to meet at least five of the millions. We need not say how heavy both, especially the former, weigh upon the poorer classes. By way of con solation they are told that the taxes, as well as the expenditure they are destined to meet, are temporary. Will there not be as much need in any year of the century for public works and war expenditure as in the year now provided for We should have thought it probable. The loose neat of the arrangement of extraordinary expenses detracts considerably from the truth and merit of that which fixes the army at a strength of 400,000 men. Reduction of expenditure, indeed, there is none, the Military Budgetof 1863 being 160,0001. more than the former year, whilst the Marine Budget is to be 168 millions of francs, being a little leas than last year. The resolution to maintain these large forces has compelled the French Minister to have recourse to new taxes for the ordinary, aa well as for the extraordin►ry, Budget. Some of these changes merely compensate one for another. For instance, the tax levied on the humble artisan, who works at home and pays from 3 francs to 12 for liberty to do so, according as the population of the town be great or small, and which is really not worth the expense of collection, is done away with, and replaced by a tax on carriages and horses, calculated to make up the loss. This, the Minister says, will release upwards of a million of poor artisans. But the in creased duties on salt and sugar will take from these very artisans four times the value of the taxation remitted. In one or two points the French Minister profits by English experience. He reduces the rate at which money can be sent through the post-office, and adopts the move able penny stamp for receipts. By this and similar nieans the Minister increases the ordinary receipts by about two millions sterling, in addition to the taxes augmenting the extraordinary Budget by three millions sterling. Thus the entire Budget of 1863 will exceed by five millions sterling that of 1862, which was of 1,930 millions of francs. Nothing can be more satisfactory than the statement of the Minister respecting the result of the Commercial Treaty, although he limits his observation to its effects oa producers and manu facturers. Coale have been imported to the amount of 1.30 th of French consumption ; iron but to that of 1.13 th of French production. Stuffs during the last quarter have been imported to not more than one per Gent of French manufacture. There is bare ',great consideration omitted, and that is the dismiss /tits in price of all thee. articles and necessaries to the French consumer. The manufacturers of Lille, of Rouen, and of other towns have probably tort considerably, by the dif ference between the habitual and present rate of sales. The English may not have gained much, but the French humble class can get shirts, stock- TIFICAL GOVERNMENT. It is stated in the independence Beige of yesterday eveningthat M. Thouvenel has addressed a deeps tioh to 3L de Lavalette, the representative of France at Rome, which that diplomatist has communicated to Cardinal Antonelli. In this document the French Minister for Foreign Affairs commences by recalling the regret which was felt by the imperial _ . . . The following telegram has been received at Mr. Reuter's office from the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, Jan. 24. : government at the invasion of the Pon tifical States by the Italian troops. He reminds the Cardinal of the efforta made by France to prevent that invasion, and the rupture of diplomatic relations which was the consequence of the failure of those efforts. But two years have now elapsed, he says, since Italy and the papacy were left in a situation as dangerous for the peace of Europe as it is incompatible with the true interests of the church. Acts which have taken place on both sides, both in Italy and in the kingdom of Naples, have only aggravated that state of things, and France views its prolongation with extreme pain, since the French occupation, which has for its object the protection of the interests of the Pope, cannot be maintained indefinitely. The measures of disarmament caused by urgent fivancial necessities compel the French government to consider the moment when this occupation must cease, and an end be put to the situation which renders it indispensable. The French minister appeals to all the sentiments of the pontifical government while entreating it to join in the efforts of conciliation made by France. "The despatch concludes," says the writer in the Independence, "if I am well informed, by demanding on what conditions the Pope would consent to the tem poral concessions which would be necessary to render an understanding possible bejeveen the papacy and the kingdom of Italy. The official reply to this note, sent off about ten days ago, has not yet been made known here, but from what I learn from the language of Cardinal Antonelli at the time the despatch was read to him, it may be presumed that the pontifical government has not altered any of its opinions or views. The Cardinal Minister told M. Lavaletts that he did not understand the contents of the despatch of the French government, and that the Pope asks only one thing—namely, that they give him back what they have taken from him. M. Thonvenel's note will doubtless be published among the documents submitted to the Legislative Corps. It may be considered as the point de depart of new negotiations, and it will form the subject of discussions in both chambers." (norms TILZWIAMII.) LECEPTION OF THE PAPAL NUNCIO. PARIS, :mt. 24. The Moniker of this morning announces that Mgr. Chigi, the Papal Nuncio, was officially re ceived by the Emperor yesterday, and says Mgr. Chigi, in addressing the Emperor, stated that he should be zealous in maintaining the friendly relations which happily existed between the Holy See and the government of the Emperor." The Emperor thanked Mgr. Chigi for the senti ments he bad expressed in the name of the Holy Father, and said :—" His Holiness has already, on the occasion of the new year, addressed to me, through General Goyoo, words which have deeply touched me. Be assured that I shall always seek to ally the duties of • sovereign with my devotion to the Holy Father. I do not doubt but that your nomination will oontribnte to render more intimate the relations which are so essential to the welfare of religion, peace, and Christianity." The Empress also received Mgr. Chigi, who stated that he was charged by the Holy Father to renew to her Majesty the assurances of his paternal affection, and of the wishes that his Holiness did not cease to form for the happiness of the Empress had the Prince Imperial. The Empress replied that she was particularly moved by this mark of safe°. tion, and requested Mgr. Chigi to convey to his Holiness the expression of her gratitude. The Moniker also announces that Gegeral Mon tauban has been crested a count, under the title of Count Palikao, and states that a bill will be pre sented to the Corps Legislatif, settling upon the newly-crested count an annuity of 50,000 tr.

K Foriade, the author of the financial article in the Revue des Deux Monde', which was visited with a warning for saying some few of those things which were set forth more strongly a few days afterwards in K Fould's famous letter to the Em peror, now writes an article in the Temps on M. Fould's financial report. He confesses himself dis appointed. He had hopes of "radical reforms " a reduction of expenditure, not an increase of tax ation. He reserves, however, his criticism of the budget programme for another occasion ; but, in the meanwhile, gives a hearty approbation to what ho cells the political bearing of IL Fould's report, viz., the new division of the budget into the heads of ordinary ►nd extraordinary. Hitherto the re presentatives of the people discussed the budget blindfold, and the country saw in the re port of the debates merely groups of figures of which it could make nothing. Now IL Foroade thinks it will be practical for the deputies to ask themselves such questions as these : Whether is it better to put off the making of so many kilometres of railway or to pay an increased duty on sugar 1 Is it so desirable to undertake a fancy expedition to Rome or Coo►in China as that an extra tax should be put on salt to provide the funds? This he regards as • real reform, which it is the duty of the liberal party to accept with ' gratitude, because it facilitates discussion, which is the arm of liberty. He promises to make a free use of this arm without loos of time, in criticising the scheme of the present budget. The Bourse has recovered to a great extent from the fall of yesterday.

I have just returned from witnessing the " Fun :ions" at St. Peter's, on the festival of Bt. Peter's Chair—that famous chair whereon the profane eyes of Champollion espied the Arabic inscription, La Allah dick Allah, hfahomat maul Allah ("There is no God but God, and Mahomet is his prwhet"). It was announced that it was to be a Coo " Be monatration," and we anticipated that some special honour would be done to the Pope. Beyond a rather larger show than usual of vacant faces and depressed crania, it was not, however, observable that anything particular was going fo rward. The statue of St. Peter was adorned with his huge ring, and with two new and splendid gilt candelabra, bearing the arms of Pio Nono. The mass was per formed as usual, and the poor old Pope, preceded by a modest array of cardinals (minus Antonelli), was carried in his usual Pagan state down the great nave. The only remarkable circumstance was that on each of the huge eolumns in front of Bt. Peter's was pasted a placard containing re spectively some loyal sentiment, very naively re vealing the necessity for some such manifestation. The following are a few of these placards, which, it must be admitted, are rather singular inscriptions on the portico of the great temple of Latin Chris tianity : Sotto rigida di Pio Siamo llberi • felici, Ne d Arise alma dodo Di sere la Muria. (Under the shield of Pius we are free and happy, nor does any desire of false liberty unite us.) Viva forte de' forti— _ n Tiro seensylo Di Monism sesteass, Flo IX. (Vin the strong one sapid the strong—the tine wimple of Christaan 000stanu, Pio IX.) Sdften, 0 Bans 1 Chap do taigas progenies Vilipeso L'immortele toe beaslatiare, II Now Pio.

(Oh, mated Peter, tars Woe eyes oo thy osonwor, who waW intrepidly ovor the onion of tint/own% I) It must be owned that there is some room for all these pions alarms. The popular feeling breaks out wherever it has a chanoe of security, se, for instance, last night in this street (the Babiano), where three men rushed out siriroltaneously, and lighted three Bengal lights, red, white, and green, illuminating for a few instants the whole Tait per spective from the Porta del Popolo to the column oi the Immaculate Conniption with the naticaal tricolor. UNITY JOINT STOCK BANK.-(THIS DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was bald at noon, et the London Tavern ; the Governor, Abler- MOM NICHT. reading. The SICRITART (Mr. Birch) read the following report : " The directors again submit to the shareholders the usual halflwly statement of *sears of the bank. It will be obsor thst, after payment of asperse of the chief office and branches, and making provision for bad debts, the our. plus available for distribution (including the balance of the presiding half-year) is 4,07 W. lbs. 6d. Th► directors pro pose to deal with this amount by paying a dividend of 13.6 d. per share, free of income tax, and carrying over the haleness to the ensuing half-year. A °or:spawn of the amount due to the public as shown to this belance-sheet, with those of previous half-years, exhibits a favourable the relative figures being, 31st Dee., 1860, r 4073141 • 30th June, 1861, 155,*261. ; 314 Dec., 1861, 177,2624 4 The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he anticipated that the construction of the Charing orou terminus near the bank premises, in Cannon-street, would greatly images the value of those premises. The business of the bank had during the last half-year been condaated vary carefully by Mr. Terry under the supervi. sloe of the board, sad although he had hoped it would be better, no blame rested with the directors, who bad done their beet to ensure prosperity. The motion having been 'wooded, Mr. finatwoon said he should like to know what was the opinion of the directors with regard to the prospects of the beak. They were going on half-year after half-year and their position seemed to remain the same. He had heard reports that the directors intended to recommend the shareholders • to unite with some other bank, and he would like to know whether or not there was any truth in:them. I The CHAIRMAN said he thought it was not unlikely that • something would tan up to improve the oondition of the bank. Whenever an opportuuity presented itself of doing that the / directors would confer with the shareholders, as they had P always done in all matters of important's.. He thought the r meeting would excuse him for not saying any more at pement. After same conversation the motion war agreed to ; end I th e meeting terminated with votes of thanks to the director, to the sameger, Mr. Terry, and the branch muggers, and to the roteroary, Mr. Birch.
