The nett gains of the bank during this period amount le Rs- 1,22,778-14-4, of which Re. 15,347-6-9, or ege.eigthth of the proflt and loss, were canted to the reserve fand,—frega which again Re. 2,908 7-5 required to be re-drawn to make up the half-yearly dividend. We observe that 60,000 rupees have been written off from the reserve fund in part of Oib sen, Reid, Davidson, and Co.'s (Ceylon) debts ; and Rs. 7,230-36 credited as dividends on insolvent estates on m oment of which 6,2401. were writh a off in December 1847. The reserve fund on 12th inst. amounted to Rs. 40,123-1110 : on 31st December last it was Re 63,202-16-8. 'lmhof Bombay has declared a uividend for the pest half year at the rate of six per cent. per annum, which is lower than that for some years back declared by that co-partnery, the usual dividend being seven per cent. The total prof' sof the bank during the half year just ended, after all its ex pellees bed been paid, were Re. 1,48,152-15-2. had ordered two pictures for it (one of Warren Ilaetinee, the other of Jonathan Duncan), at a coat of 601., additional to his former gift of 1001. The Hurkaru of the 44th inst. says : Ws are told that the arrangements for the Queen's troops are as follows :—Part of the 06th to embark today for Ohs zlepore. When the regiment has all gone up, the 70th is to be marched into the fort from Dam.Dum. On the arrival of the 87th from Englknd, the 70th is to be sent up country: end the fortis to be garrisoned for the next year by the 87th. The 75th, which is also on the way here, is to be sent either to Dam-Duet or Chinsurah as may be determined on, bat mast likely to Chlasurah. Should any regiments be re quired for Chins, the 75th will be available at once. The Bishop of Calcutta has been dangerously ill, but he has said he came back to lay his bones in India, and I presume, therefore, has determined on not goileg home again let him be ever so ill. Sir W. Gomm is at Culoutta, and has made application for repayment of his passage money from Mauritius, 1,2001. He has an ev e to the berth of Sir W. Cotton at Banbay, who has resigned. Last night we had a tremendous fall of rain; we have now had upwards of 60 inches in all, fully as mach as this time last year. This moraines papers are almost townies,. The death of Captain Hamer toe, resident at Muscat, is announced as likely to have taken place, according to a rumour prevalent at Bushire, as he had been for a long time ailing. One of them says letters of the 27th of June, from Zanzibar, mention the gallant captain as recovering trout his illness. The report of his death was cur• rent at the Bushire Residency when the sloop Elphinstone left (2nd July). Captain Hamerton was a father to all Europeans residing at Zatizibar. Ile alone knew anything of medicine; he had his chest of drugs, and on hearing of any one being ill, he sought them out, and administered to their wants. If my ill he removed them to his own house, and this without respect of persons or rank,—it was sufficient they were Europeans, or of European descent. To a less extent in the latter, but a greater in the former, the natives also benetitted by Captain Hamerten's humanity. The ship Lord Dufferin, was yes terday seized by the sheriff on account of the salvors, who claim 3,0001. The case will be tried before the supreme court shortly. The captain is willing to pay one-sixth the sum asked; enough, in all conscience, for a few hours' work by servants of government who we should think bound to render evaistance to distressed vessels whi rever met in with. advance, tranmetkine in table will &midis fall away.

Subject to the following remarks, we have audited the ac counts from Ist January to 30th June 1849, of the Com mercial Bank of India, which are hereto prefixed. We have thoroughly examined all the accounts and have given especial attention to those which comprise the sweats and liabilities of the bank, and have carefully valued the MM. Alter the writing off of Rs. 50,000 of the Ceylon Loon Amount u s lots, and to the debit of profit and loos account (Rs. 60,000 having been written off as a lose on 30th Deans. bet last), thus leaving Rs. 18,380-6, at the debit of Ceylon Loan Account, and which amount the directors are of opinion may possibly be recovered to a great extent, if not in full. After allowance being made for the lots that may be sustained on the securities held for the post die bills account, by estimating these securities at their present actual value, a sum being retained, as shown by the reserve fund aeccount, more than equal to meet this estimated loss, and which more over nay be quite covered by a rise of 4 to 6 per cent. in the value of the bank @hares, held as securi , y for the put due bills. And after making allowance for a portion of a debt considered doubtful, as to its being worth the full sum due, we are dearly of opinion that the dividend fixed upon by the directors can be made without any infringement on the capital of the bank as paid by the proprietors; and we ere further of opinion that the business of the bank, as now car ried on, is of • satisfactory kind, that the capital of the pro prietors is safely employed, and that MUM two loons, which are only to a moderate amount, are p.id up, in respect of which we are assured by the directors that the hank is fully secured, the capital of the bank will he sound to be invested in profitable and legi , imate banking bufineu.

After the surrender of Gxrgey, Baron Sigmund Pecenzl, Franz Daschek, finance minister, and fifty deputies were arrested. In the possession of Doschek were found the jewels of Count Eugene Zichy, who was put to death by sentence of a court-martial, at which Gcergey presided.

The debate was renewed upon Camp'nausen'a motion on the German question, the nature of which has been already explained. M. Goltdammer, as retorter of the committee on the motion, said that since the communicatien of the papers laid on the table of the house on the German question, the committee had reconsidered the motion, and now recognised in it a vote of confidence for the minister,. The committee urged the haute to accept the motion, the object of which, it may be repeated here, is to autho rise the government to make such modifications in the Prussian constitution as will make it cimpatible with the draft of May2B for a German constitution, reserv ing the sobmtssion of those modifications to the Chambers. Count Brandenburg said that the ministers would regard the acceptance of the motion as a vote of confidence. Camphausen spoke at some length, and was suc ceeded by the minister of the interior. Then the house divided, when there appeared, oat of 111 mem bers present, in favour of the motion 96, against it 14. The leader of the Polish party, Count Potwo rowsky, abstained from voting.

Al. acJ 1114 Par We have receives our despatches, with the litter of our correspondent, by the Overload Meil, from India. The dates are : Bombay, July 25 ; Calcutta, July 14. Oar cxrespondent writes as follows: BOMBAY, Jura 25 In my last (under date tad inst.), I alluded to the rumour of inteneed hrstilities against the Maharajah of Cashmere, which at the time was almost univer sally looked on as probable, on the setting in of the cold seas tit. This has since been contradicted in semi-offictial style by the Delhi Gazette, which journal explains the military preparations made at Peshawar, Lahore, and Waxecrabad, in the formation of move able brigades ready for a move at a moment's notice, as having been made consequent on an appeal having reached oar government from the Cashmere ruler for aid in keeping the rebelliously-dispceed portion of his subjects in awe during the period his regular force may be engaged in different parts of his terri tories colltc;ng the revenue. He further sates that no demand was ever made by us on the Cashmere chief to give on his guns, and that the relations be twixt our govrrnment and him were never moreeatis tory than they are at the present time. 'We hops it may be so, and that it may long so remain ; bat we have our doubts as to whe.her the the Delhi has not been made the medium of " throwing dust in the eyes of the public," or ta' her of endeavouring to do so. It is a well known fact that thousands and thousands of the Sikh soldiers, disarmed at Rural Pindee by Gilbert's force in March lest, have already sought refuge in the demi nion of the JAMO3 chief, and that others are daily following their example. Now, it stands to reason they could not do this without the permission of the Maharajah. Well, then, next comes the ques tion—why should he wish to congregate these lawless ruffians around him? The answer is simple—either he fears we intend taking his country from him, and ie pryparirg to resist, or he intends taking the initia tive in hostilities. The former is the most probable of the two, as we have now at the head of the amyl the very individual who first made it knows to the Sikhs that they were to be coerced. The interval it this ease between the entertainment of the suspicion that he is to be attacked, and his assumption of the ini tiative in hostilities towards us, will not be a long am. If he did wish for their presence in his country, what more easy than for him to request us to prevent their entering it—a thing much more easy of accomplishment than that of ejecting them from it will prove when once they get there ? But it is un less speculating further on the subject; a few months at the most will reveal the matter in its true light to the world. It is said that the governor-general pro ceeds about the end of Septem be r to Peshawar ; Sir Charles Napier to Lahore shortly. Leave to officers with regiments in the Punjaub has been directed to be refused, unless in cases of sickness, or the most urgent affairs admitting of no delay; with every ap plication for leave is to be submitted to the com mander-in-chief, either publicly or by confidential communication, by the officer commanding the corps to which the applicant belongs, the canoe assigned for asking it, and it is even expected that those officers belonging to the Bombay face at Peshawar, who have just returned to their staff appointments at the presidency and in Scinde, will be ordered to rejoin their corps with all possible expedition at the public expense. Do not them things go far to prove that something is on the tapis in the Punjanb ? Sir C. Napier remarks that no regiment can be said to have too many officers; indeed, that most of them hare too few, and that it is their duty to remain with their non-commissioned offioers and soldiers. Theis remarks were addressed to the Qom 's regiments and if applicable to them, they mast be so in at least a three-fold degree to tie native corps. The trial of the ex-dewan Moolrsj, of Mooltan, for the murder of Mr. Agnew and Lieutenant Anderson in April last has been concluded. He has been &and guilty of all the counts of the charge, and sentenced to be hung. This, however, has been commuted into imprisonment for life in the fortress of CLunar ; from which said fortress the Mahariewe (queen-mother) of Lahore some short time book effected her maps. The culprit heard his sentence pronounced on the 22nd June unmoved; but on being taken back to his prison he appears to have krealy felt the position in which he was placed. He refused all food for three days, when he was in- I dosed to arouse himself and draw up a petition to the for -general, which was forwarded slorg pith teurde of his trial. His defence was ably eon thsetedley Out. Hamilton, whose address to the court ea behalfof his client would do honour to •barrive• of a quarter of a century's practice in any court in Eng land. Ihe trial was conducted in the most men and honourable manner by our government, who gave the prisocer every opportunity of proving his innocence, and placed at his disposal as an advocate the eerr:c of Captain Hamilton, who certainly fulfeled his tack, unsuccessful as it proved, in a masterly manner. Some there are who express surprise that a verdict of guilty should have been come to be the court on the evidence produced by the pros cation moat, however, the decision appears the only one which could have been come to. In my last I mentioned the formation of moveable brigades at Peshawar and Wuz.2erabad. Sic ce then one or two others have been organised. They are all to keep up their baggage, cattle, &c. &c., and be ready for a s'art at any moment they may be called on. Lieutenant Waddilovc, of her l'elejesty's 53rd Foot, died at Rawnl Pindee stout the first week is June. The sickness amongst the European troops at Peshawar has almost entireir disappeored, as also at Wuzeerabad. Not an at Lahore, lam sorry to say, where, on an averege, two Europeans were drily car ried to their last resting-place. This deplorable state of matters was supposed to be consequent on the inadequacy of the accommodation provided for the soldit is both in the town and camp of Anerkully outelde the city. A committee of medical men, with the superintendiog surgeon at its head, had been assembled to enquire into the probable causes of the mortality, and to sug gest measures for their removal. It is carious, that at none of the stations in the Punjaub are the native troops more unhealthy than they are in India at this season of the year. The heat throughout the country was fearful compared to what the men had been ao customed to in Bengal, the thermometer frequently ising as high as 105 deg. to 110 deg. in the b::rraeks, which would, as a matter of course, have its effect on then. Brigadier Sir Henry Dundee had himself been ailing, teethed fall recovered again. Brigadier Godby, who commended at Lahore, is on the point of re turning to England on sick leave; he has gone to C Acute, where ho remains for some months previous to embarking for Europe. The 63rd foot are to be removed from Rawul Pindee—l presume, in conse quence of their unhealthiness ; bat this has not been leaded, nor has it been alleged that they have been particularly unhealthy, though they hid lost one officer and a few men. The organisation of four out of the five cavalry and five infantry local corps at Lahore and other places has probably by this time teen completed, as on the 18th Jane we are told the numbers enlisted for each were as under : Ist cavalry, 109 ri en • 2nd, 459; 3rd, 614 ; 4th, 3 76 ; s th, just commenced recrulting ; Ist infantry, 416; 2nd, 558 ; 3rd, 292 ; 4th, 400; sth, just commenced recruiting. It will be remembered that none are to be ul na:Mel to these corps but Sikhs of the old army who never opposed us in the field ; would it not have been as well to have given those a chance of earning an honest livelihood who had met us in battle—nay, would it rot have been better to have done so than let them prowl about without em ploye meet, read y . to tarn their bands to any in", isf which fell in their way ? They would, perhape,l have been glad of employment, but they should most assuredly not have been allowed to remain in the Panjaub—they might have been sent into India, where they would probably have made excellent sol diers when away from home, and beyond the influ ence of those asecciatioce, ever' uppermost in the breasts of man, of whatever nation, who have the smallest pretensions to the name of patriots. Con siderable sickness seems to have prevailed at Mc 'Den of late, where the lady of Captain Hogg, of the Bombay Faeiliers; Second Lieutenant W. H. An derson, of the Artillery ; and Captain W. G. C. Hughes, of the 4th Native Rifles, died within a fnrt night—the two former on the 22nd June, and the latter on the Ist Jnly. The fortress has been com pletely repaired, and put inters state of defence, under the superintendence of Major Scott, of the Bombay engineers. Not above a fourth part of the inhabit ants had returned to the too-a—but a large number of the merchants and trailers are said to he willing to resume their occupations if assured that no ransom money will be levied on them for their houses • in deed many had already returned, but it is thought a long time must elapse before the town of Moolten will present the bustling appearance it did in the be ginning of last year, under the unfortunate ruler row a condemned felon, in prison at Lahore. The Prize Committee are said still to be busy seeking for trea sure amongst the rains of the city. Nothing has yet been heard of prize-money or donation batta for its captors. Our latest news from the north-west again reverts to the intended entry of our troops into Cashmere, for the purpose of defending the ruler in his dominion", as before stated. Very well, it may be so ; but did we ever get our finger into the (lilies of any na tive prince's dominions, and not ultimately relieve him of the cares of sovereignty: and it will be strange if such prove not the case in Cashmere also. Sir H. Lawrence was, when last heard from, on his way back to Lahore from Simla, whither Sir C. Napier was expected shortly to follow. In the Jallundhur Doab, I am happy to say,. but little Bick ers= prevails. The force mumbled in cantonment' at Deensouggin has been dispersed to other stations in the Doab—the 4th company 6th battalion artillery end 71st N. I. to Bodes Pind, the 34th N. I. to Ha *pare, and the 2nd irregular cavalry to Hoeheear pert. A small guard over the treasury was to br left under Mr. Fano, one of the political'. Lieut. Her bert, assistant-commissiocer, had gone to Simla on sick leave. The officers and men had all housed themselves snugly for the monsoon, when thus or dered to other places, which had naturally caused a geed deal of dissatisf action. A paper received this day announces the death at Wozeerabad (near La hore), on the 10th July, of Quartermaster J. Prim, H.M. 24th Foot, of apoplexy. Scinde now-a-days scarcely gives evidence of an existence in the world at all, everything seems to be carried on so smoothly under the rule of the present commissioner and commander of the forces. This latter berth is in future to be held alternately by Queen's and Company's officers, while the brigade commands at Kurrachee, Hyderabad, and Sakkur are invariably to be bestowed on Indian army officer,. In this case, the gallant old Colonel Douglas, of the 78th H'ghlanders, will shortly retire from the latter. The Jam of the Jokeshs, who had been imprisoned early in June, for some alleged crime (breach of the Bth commandment, most likely) to prove which no one could be got to come forward, has at length been re leased. He certainly should not have been detained ay:ismer, if no charge could be made out against hiss; bat to say that ho is innocent, because no sae comes forwardlo convict him, is rather too much k Inns, where all natives try to screen one another eves when known to be guilty of the most atrocious of mimes against the " Coompanie Bahadoor." The only death amongst the higher classes in Scinde I have heard of is that of Mr. Barker, a master in the Indus Flotilla. A t umber of men of the Bth Foot have, however, been struck down by coup do solsil et Hyderabad—owing, most probably, to the careless ness and thoughtlessness of the poor fellows them selves. A report prevails that the head quarter wine 22nd Foot, now at Bombay , proceeds in the end 1 August to Kurrachee, where it will be joined by the left wing, and the corps then marched up the Indus to Sutter. Theses they ascend the river in boats and steamers to Ferozepore, and become portion of the Bengal army, the commander-in-chief of which is their colonel. Should this be true, coming events cut their shadows before them. The Bengal and Benzes papers received this morn ing mention that the Hoe. Mr. Thomason, Lieutenant- Governor N. W. P., had bestowed 500 rs. on the new Henan,. College, and that Mr. Reade, commissioner, " It appears from the parliamentary papers that Lord Hat dingo had estimated the dram the conquest of the Punjaub would oxasion on oar firances bey, nd the returns it would yield, at half a million a year : our frontier was believed by former Commander-in-Chief, Sir H. Pune, in particular, very greatly deteriorated.—The state of the affairs of the Benito bank has now been fully disclosed : the meets, it is said, will be sufficient to meet the claims of creditors, but the shareholders will lore every thing—their whole capital is gone; the directors were the chief borrowers. One of these, Colonel Pew, of the Bengal army—a man who might at one time have retired from the service on 10,0001. a year—has just filed his schedule in the Court of Bankruptcy, his debts amounting to 260,0001. incurred entirely by sreculution. The scandals transactions such as these cecision are thrown into the shade by instances of monstrous gam bling in the army, under the most discreditable circumstances, that have come to light—the two showing how greatly a strong and firm hand is wanted to weed out offenders, or keep within bounds indulgences which tend so grievously to lead astray. On the 22nd and 23rd of June a severe gale visited the upper part of the Bay of Bengal, end was felt all over India, the barometer sink ing at Bombay and Madras nearly as low as at Calcutta. Three vessels were disabled or lost; the ashrams grounded and went to pieces —the Victoria was wrecked, a number of lives hav ing on both occasions been lost. The effects of this storm were not confined to India, but must have ex tended far end wide over Asia. since the barometer fell, we presume simultaneously, at Aden, as well as Calcutta, Madras, lioshungabad, Bombay, and Kurra elne. At Bombay the rains are advancing favourably well up to SO inches having fallen since the 3rd ofJone. Much astonishment has been created by the refusal of the Board of Control to allow Captain Roes, late master-attendant, the highest pension of his rank. He has for fifty years been almost conti-1 wally employed in the scientific department of the service ; he bears a name as an hydrographor second only to that of Horebargh ; and his charts and surveys have been the means of saving num berless lives and uncounted fortunes. Instead of remaining master-attendant on the full emolu ments of his office while the duties were discharged by a deputy, he retired as he found the infirmities of years advancing, and has been requited with a salary lees than that of the youngest boy civilian. The accounts given of the nature of the appoint ment of Sir W. Gomm are conflicting. Ac cording to one of these, be was directed to proceed to India as lieutenant-general on the staff, with the view of taking command in the Punjaub, and getting rid of Lord Gough. Th i s mode of superseding the late commander-in-chief would have been one of the most direct and un pleasant that could have been imagined. Accord ing to another account, he landed with the commis sion of cammander-iii-chief from the Queen in his pocket, and was assured that he would find that of the court of directors awaiting . him ; in place of this, he found Sir C. Napier in his room. How ever the matter may chant* to stand, it is clear that the amount of prevarication which has oc curred on the subject in parliament is enormous. Hopes are entertained that a company's officer — Sir George Pollock or Sir Walter Gilbert—may obtain the command at Bombay, Sir W. Gomm and Sir Joseph 'fhackwell are spoken of The governor and commander-in-chief of Bombay are in Deccan. Sir Henry Pottinger is at Madras, Sir George Ber keley at Bangalore. The Sanger and Nerbudda terri tories have been made over to the charge of the Madras army, though the matter has not u yet been definitively arranged. " Brigadier-General S. Hughes, C. 8., Colonel of the 26:h Bombay Native Infantry, died at Bombay on the 9th of July. The following letter has appeared amongst the squadron orders of the Bombay fleet : Haying noticed the bad discipline and ill-oonditioned ap pearance of the men belonging to the marine battalion em barked in ships of the Bon. Company's navy, I brit to call attention of commanding of all viesels to this in prtant put of their command.

OREECE.—Our correspondent writes: ATHENS, Ac 0.15 There is a move in the cabinet, at la3t. Mr. Christides has been kicked out (he wouldn't ask t> be allowed to go), and rep!acel by Mr. L. Khrestecitis, the Minister of Finance. Mr. Bilbis has sue- I needed Mr. Khrtstenitis. I! is said that the circular which Mr. Christides issued to the Nomarques to aid and as,ist the refu gees who had arrived in the kingdom was the principal cause of his downfall. It is, however, well known that several ministers of foreign powers have been urging the government to drive them from the soil, and that the government, as an auxiliary mea sure, has declared the supplementary credit, voted for this purpose, exhausted. A committee has been formed of many members of the Chambers and other wealthy persons, who have subscribed liberally for the Italian refugees. Bri gandage has nearly disappeared. Major Fzinos has arrived at Athens. Captain Walker, commanding the Russian brigof war Theseus, in the Piraeus, blew his brains oat. lie budget is not yet passed. Weather dreadfully hot. Otho sulky at an empty treasury, and you have all the news. The Constitutionnel to-day undertakes to reassure the French public, not a little frightened by the me nacing prospect of an alliance of eastern absolutism against not only the democracy but the constitutional freedom of the west. These fears it seeks •o il:ssi pate, first by asserting that Russia entertains no ruck bad intentions, bat that, on the contrary, i:s an' ion and its view, are turned in altogether a different direction. Contented with pacifying Hungary, and conciliating its warlike sane to himself and to abno lutiam, the Czar, according to the journal iu M. Thiers's confidence, aims merely at absorbing Turkey and annexing Constantinople. We must say that this is very poor consolation. For if Russia, after having enchained Austria, fasci nated France, and overawed Prussia, d_es really direct her legions to the Bosphorus, _ this is merely strength ening her hands for more despotic and irresistible dictation to Western Europe. We do not, hoteever, believe that ltussia is at all reedy for any such advance southward. The czar will have quite enough to do to stand as an arm. ti guard on the Danube, to watch the attempts which Austria must mike for re organising a government, an adminiAr.eion, a finance. To act the gem (Parrne to Germany is alone an office which will for a long time require all the vigi lance, the prudence, the skill, and the carte of Russia. But, as to the hopes of tither Austrian or Prussian government forming for a lung time any efficient re sistance or obstacle to Russia, of that there is little hope. Neither of these governmenta could offer resistance, even that of diplomacy, unless they were in accord with, and supported by their people. And of this there seems little chance whatever. No sovereign of Germany, except perhaps the Duke of Saxe Gotha, enjoys at this moment the least iota of either the attachment or respect of their subjects. All therefore must lean on Russia and do its bidding, be that bidding what it may. We there fore, though agreeing with the Constitution net, in desiring that there is no fear of war, think neverthe less, that the:e is great fear of despotic dictation in the favour of Itimis, and of mean subservience on the pert of all other European governments. The Iluniteur this morning contains a letter from M. d'Azeglio, Prime Minister of Piedmont, expressing sentiments of extreme gratitude to the government of the repabiic for the friendly interest evinced by it daring the negotiations for rate between himself and Austria. Tots letter, which is a mere formality, is prefaced by a remark that the document is a prcof in distinct contradiction to the false colourin; given h the Italian journals to the attitude of the French government as to these negotiations. The some official journal contains some more changes mode by Mr. Dufaure in the personnel of the sous pellets of the depertme .ts. The Fresse yesterday published a form of petition to the National Assembly, for the reduction of the army, and the abolition of the conscription, and to day it argues strongly on the necessity of this course, on the double ground of a regard far lice finances of the 'state, and justice 7 . to French eitiz me, who by forced military service are taken from the pursuits of industry, and to a great extent demoralised. The Presse says : Let pe•itiwis bt signed on all sides praying for th^ aboli tion ul maitary lavery, and the governments will soon adopt this unitorm oasis of a military forge not exceeding the two hundrento part of the piputation. It mil be mere than a milliard wises Europe will economise per annum, and which she can devote L imi.ravements of various kinds. Then the military se- v'ee w. 4 cease to be a cause of perturb Won.

In our turn we say that the only to re....vw that redaction is to carry out the alsoli ti it of .hilitary servitude, and to hare a two•hundreth part pare of the p;ptaia•ion under arms. If we multiply the face by t;.e m,tnaty of an army of 150,0)0 men, selected with ad the care eviiierd by the ltunans, ar.l c.aried from the ceic.re to to . . circumference, and vice versa. there will be a force flee-fold greater than that of the fies oration. li?duce the exoenses. is cried out from all sides. But how do that, it erery thing is to be preserved and nothing re formed ? Iteduee the army, or increase the taxes, is the narrow alternative which Franco has to choose. Of these two perils, a flreiin war or a social revolution, which is the least probable ? Is the influence of the tax of 45 centimes forgotten, and will not general elections take place in 1852, l in which all the tat• payers are to take part 1 Will the example of the republicans of the Veille be lost on the republicans of the lendemain? Let these last think of it, for they will be judged by their works, and weighed in the balance of the budget—they on one side and the taxes on the other. This appeal for the redaction of the military force of Prance is also repeated in the ()pinion Publique, which shows that the 100,000,000 for which it is
