We Lae itscrted some Extracts in a preceding column. Enis Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday ar• nyed tins morning. The rise i. the French funds continues very re rarkable. According to the quotations in thesejona+ ralc, they have t.u•.v ri•.en to 70 f. 90 c. making an aivance of more than fivelrancs since the present Yiinistry came into power. If we may believe, how ever, private accounts which we have received from persons on the spot, who have had an opportunity of taking a peep behind the curtain, we ought to be very sparing in the credit which we give to this rise, either as a proof of i -.creasing confidence in the 'Mi nizy, or increasing prosperity in the commercial and monied circles of Paris. It is confidently af firmed that the whole of this rise is nothing more than the effect of a mere state nick of the new ilinister of Finance, Baron Louts, to conceal the really low state of the public credit—The Funds consecrated to the different branches of the public service, are said to have been extensively employed in buying up Stock—that is, the Government has become both seller and buyer, so that it may make teat price any thing it pleases, and but for mete Unmefacedness might, (if this report be well foun dq.) as well make the rise fifty per Cent. as five. Every shilling, we are assured, which it was pos s.a:e to obtain, has been drawn from the Recei vers-General, and appropriated to the execution of t'u's notaLle operation of financial policy. Not •:;,r1 content, however, with the artificial stimu- Ls thus given to the market, it is further averred as fact, that the Ministers have prohibited the Jour from giving the real prices of each day, and t:.)ined upon them a latitude in this respect which i..!; any thing but the correct information of the in view. For instance, say our informants, when the funds were quoted as at 69t, a bona fide seller going into the market, with any considerable amount of stock, could not get more than 65 or 66. if the stock wanted to be sold was of small amount, such as '2OO or 305 francs, a sale might possibly be P 'fated to some Ministerial Emissary at a higher rate —even, perhaps, as high as that quoted in the Jour nals—for it was another part of the wonderfully pro flunti system now in action to search after such petty Liles, in order that Government might be able to say tint they did not just countenance an absolute false- Loc.' in the prices which the Journals were ordered cu announce. But it is asserted to be a fact, which all the monied men in Paris can testify, that no sales of rte's an amount, as to be worth taking into an v. , ?c7age account, have at any time been made at the I,igh prices quoted in the Journals, or can now be rna,te by any holder of stock who desirous of making the experiment. l system so shallow/sated as this, eannot bz too ten esposcd t itistlte interest of the Stockholders of even tran:e itself that it should be so. The Minister of Finance; we arc told, is 'a man of talent ; but, if we believe the plan that has been pursuing as of his con trivance, and form a judgment from the specimen he' has commenced with, we should not be disposed to rate it very highly. The impolicy of the system he is pursuing must be obvious to any person of the least refiexion, Or knowledge in financial affairs. Can he state that the purchases made by GOvernment are in order to increase the Sinking Fund ? No.—Or can he assert that they are made to be held ? No ; for the Treasury must be exhausted by this teinporary mis appropriation of the funds necessary for carrying on the public service. Any appearance of credit and prosperity which such a system can produce for a moment, must vanish like a vision of the night ; for what is bought new must, sooner or later, be re-sold, at any price that can be got for it. The ordinary service of Government cannot go on without the funds which are now diverted from it being replaced ; and, with all the talent of which Baron Louts may be able to boast, France can afford him no other re source, under existing circumstances, for doing so, than that of re-selling the stock his emissaries are now said to be busied in purchasing. Being forced to sell, the unavoidable consequences need not be ea largel upon. The Monitear of Wednesday contains a Report from the Minister of the Interior, and an Ordinance founded upon it, establishing a Council of Agricul ture, which is to give its advice on each questions of legislation and administration, and projects and me moirs relative to agriculture, as may be transmitted to it for that purpose by the Minister of the Interior. It is to consist of ten Members. The public discussion in the Chamber of Peers on the project of law for the national recompense to the Duke of IticHELIEU, came on upon Tuesday, and, as was anticipated, passed off with equal brevity and calmness. Only two Peers, the Count de Sr. ROMAN and the Duke de CRILLON, spoke upon it, and on being put to the vote, it was carried by a majority of 83 to 44.—The illustrious object of this just act of national gratitude, was at Bourdeaux on the 28th ult. on his way to the South of Europe. The business in the Chamber of Deputies on the same day, was confined to a variety of Petitions, of an individual or local nature, which arc without any features of particular interest.

COURT MARTIAL The Court• Martial on Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel 'lnv met again yesterday, by adjournment, and pro. cecded is the examination of several witnesses:—Mr. Martin, sen. of Brighton ; Mr. Pocock, of the Union Bank, in that town ; and Mr. Benjamin Ridge, of Chichester. A voluminous epistolary correspondence, incidental to the charges, was afterwards put in and read, and about four o'clock the case on the part of the prosecution was closed, and the JUDGE ADVO CATE inquired of Colonel Hay when he would be ready with his defence ? In reply, the Colonel said, the details which it would be necessary to bring for ward, in elucidation of the transactions on which these charges had been founded, were so complicated and extensive, that he should require some days.— lie observed also, that notwithstanding the express injunction of the Court, two of the Morning Papers had thought proper to publish the Charges against him, coupled with remarks of their own, insinuating more even than the Charges themselves conveyed, and thus he had been wantonly, if not invidiously, sent forth through the country as one who had been guilty of fraud, even before the investigation of those charges could be said to have commenced. He trusted, therefore, the Court would give him ample time to arrange his defence with the greater care, in order the more completely to do away the false im pressions thus illiberally created. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and, after some conversa• tion, the Court adjourned to Tuesday next. Colonel HAY has been highly distinguished during the late war; He is the brother of Mr. HAY, the Secretary to the Irish Catholic Board. NEW YORK, JANUARY 8.
