The States' Gement here been con voked fur the Ist of December at Hanisser. It is thought that in this Session the new Cuitstitirtion will be proposed. The Lower Chamber will, it is said, consist of the Deputies of the towns, the Clergy, and the Peasants. Of all the great European States, France is the country whose bemires are the saw easy to comprehend and to study. But the indispensable necessity of credit has compelled tier thick veil which covered them to be torn open. Publicity, which attracts mod merits confidence, has procured an other advaatage; it has sustaisted the seal and vigilance of all the agents of authority ; each one, thinking that his pro mediae will be know., has employed more care to avoid immure, and more diligence to deserve praise. Our Goan fiat system is wow level to the comprehension of the meanest capacity : and it may he easily asderstood, that although it may be susceptible of important improvements, at least, the bases are solid, the principles just, and the means rat ismal. As a proof of this assertion, let us look to results. It is au undeniable fact, that the ordinary revenues are sum. cient fur the expetests of every branch of the public ser vice, as well as fur the payment of the a of the old and new debt ; they are sufficient likewise fur the charges of the Sinking Food, which augments with all the progressive forte of compound interest. It is e q ually notorious, that the taxes, the totality of which would out appear excessive, if the distiihution of them were less deftetive, affect reproduc lion so little, that agriculture and manufacturing ballasts y never were more flourishing. To this it may be added, that the estimated produce of the revenue was mask with so much moderation, that no one branch has yielded less than was calculated, while, in three of them, the united exec,. beyond what was cakalated will amount to twenty-niae . Hence, awl we repeat it with pleasure, the service of the Treasury is secure; all whom the State employs, all to *hum it a indebted, are certain of being paid; they will he so, the moment their respective claims are due. With regard to the MU/ of persous who are assessed to the taxes, they behold, in the rapid extinction of annuities, in the reduction, according to law, of forty millions upon pensions, mid lastly, in the progressive amelioration of the tae, the consoling prospect of a considerable diminution in the bunks of taxation which they have to support. Such is the real picture of our Silences' situation. We must ascend very ligh into user annals to find an epoch of greater prosperity; we must pass through the glorious reign of loins XLV. aud not stop till we arrive at the days of the good Iliary. What country except this, aided by the carte of a paternal Guvernakat, could have recovered itself so quickly after so many faults and so enemy misfortunes? How meth is it f d its the distribution of the gifts of Yrovideuce! If, however, we pass from the question of finance to eossigoratims of a more general order ; if we ascend to the Very sources of wealth, that is, if we examine attentively the quantity of disposable capital, its temporary employ went sad its distnbotioa, appe .are less satisfying. We must pro ive, the., that the channels of eirentatioa are emberrasaed ; aud that various obstacles check the &we ligament and coestilidatios of credit; to destroy this Rai barnismesi, to overcome these obstacles, are subjects worthy the &liberalism of every man who loves his country, but particularly of those who' form part of the Government. It (moot be dissembled. The principal reeve of these stifficisities arises from the issuing of Mari, to so large sea ainuast, sad su sear each other : necessity compelled them to be created, to first, to avoid the greeter( evils ; suit re cently, to obtain the liberation of our territory, so ardently desired. The Feelich capisailists were not sufficient to ab sorb this enomous 1111.4, nsure especially as the depart ments still feel a repugnance fur a species of security from which they have so severely 'offered. It must also be Sr. membered, that the excessive division of property (an evil which increases indefinitely) &impolitely retards the court- u trot ion of disposable sums a bich might be thus employed; while they are of trifling amount, they do not flow towards the erotic, like those petty rivulets, whirls lose themselves in the earth wke., their source is not sufficiently abinedsot to supply their course. Foreign capitalists have piafited toy this state of distinct and difficulty ; tempted by the luw price of our funds, whets offered considerably more advantageous imrestenents than their own, they purchased the greatest pier tom of the sew vertles and yet in this point our intriesis were nut injured.

E BRITT S II PRES S. LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 818. The Paris Papers of Tuesday have arrived, but they are studiously silent upon the state of Lyons, who:lsis the more remarkable, as the article from that city, which had appeared in the Ikeiit:wr asid Journal des Debuts, has not been copied by the other Papers. IVe may therefore conclude that the publication of it is not agreeable to the Government. The resignation of M. Convert°, and the uppointinent of M. Roy in Ins place, as • Minister of Finance, is confirmed by the appear. slice in the Meniteur of two Royal Ordinances, one appointing the Sieur ROY Minister of Finance, and the other recognizing the resignation of M. CORYETTO, and nominating him a Minister of State and a Meliber of the King's Privy Council. M. CORYIETTO'S resignation is understood to be perfect ly voluntary, as he had tendered it to the KING on two or three former occasions'. B Louts was competitor with M. ROY fur the office ; but the former is said, in private letters, to have overrated his own importance, and ta• have proposed certain conditions under which he desired to accept the office, but which did not meet the approbation of his MAJESTY. M. lidit is a Member of the Cham ber of Deputies.—Further changes in the Cabinet are expected. The French Funds have fallen again. The 5 per Cents. had mounted on Saturday to 69 f. 40 c.; but on Monday they opened at 68 f. 75 c., fell Iluritp4 the course of the day to 67 f., and filially closed at 671. 20c. Bank Stock has likewise ex. p,rieticed a decline. They had risen very rapidly on Saturday, but on Monday they fell from 1,575 r. to 1,567 f. 50 c. As if for the purpose of correct. tug all evil impressioh that might be created by this decline in the public funds, the Moniteter and the Gnzitte de France contain elaborate articles upon the principles of the credit of nations, and purticularly referring to the public credit of Francs. The writer in the Moniteur , argues, and very cor rectly. that a temporary fall in the prices of the funds should not cause any diminution in the public col,fialence, while there exist a manifest de. termination on the part of the Government to fulfil its engagements, and adequate means in the finan cial measures of the country to fulfil this limiourable intention. fly thendiews,that the taxes of France are so moderate, that the Minister has never been slimy pointed in his expectations—that the income more than covers the expenditure, leaving a considerable sum to perform the duty of u sinking fund—and, coneequeinly, that no alarm can exist for the pay- ! ment, not oily of the interest of the debt, but I of the principal. This article we have been in duced to insert among our extracts from the Paris Papers. The writer in the Gazette de Femme touches upon the same arguments; but alluding to the recent and rapid decline in the price of the funds, he attempts to explain it by a seeming pa radix, fur lie attributes it to the prospetity of the i country. He says, "it is known that this year the vintage has surpassed every expectation. The quantity is nonsense, the quality superior. The merchants, not willing to lose the opportunity of an L advantageous speculation, collect their funds, and to increase them will even burrow from the capitalist, who lends his money at a higher rate of interest than tan be obtained by inscriptions iu tile great book. The money that ham been removed from Paris, for the purpo.e of speculating in wines and brandies,l is estimated at 10,000,000 franca"—and to this re- moval of the money from the funds, and the mar ket of the capital, the fall in the prices of the funds is attributed. The Legislative Chambers comineuced their sit ting► on Wednesday. We have rec. ived I..i.+lnni Papers. from which the following is an extract : LisioN, No'EMBER 14.

The Persian Ambassador Extra ordinary MIILZA ABDAH HASiAN CHAN, oil his way to the Courts of Loudon and I ) .lris, was doily expected at Vicuna on the 29th last. A Treasury Paper of last evening contains the following paragraph : " There is no fonndation for the rumours with which the city has been inundated this morning, respecting the with. drawing of IL notes, and the issue of gold tokens. With respect to the resumption of cash payments, nothing more can he known from any authority beyond the discussions (hit took place last Session of Parliament, which are known to all our readers. The report of the issue of gold tokens is altogether groundless. It gives us great pleasure, however, to be enabled to assure our readers, that the Commissioners for devising means for the prevention of forgeries on the Omsk of England have bees most active in their inquiries, and there is every reason to believe that their labonrs will lead to the most satisfactory results." The rumour must evidently have originated in the anxious solicitude of the public to imagine what device would be adopted by the Bank to oh. viate the inconveniences that might naturally be expected to arise—not from the recent acquittals ut the Old Bailey, hut from the determination of the Bank to withhold such evidence as alone ought to lead to conviction. The progress, from surmise in one person, to actual statement in another, is obvious and natural ; but the character of this rumour war such, that none acquainted with the occurreuces oY s few late years, and the present state of the currency, could have easily credited it. Nothing could be more impolitic. under existing circumstances, than a partial remission of the Bank Restriction Act, while the price of gold remains at its prevent eletoation. Were a few millions of rovereigus issued from the Bank. they would be instantly famed nut of cirenlation by the paper currency, and the occurrences of the yeeir 1916 would be repeated in the total disappearance of the sovereigns. The return to cash payments by the Bank must he complete or not a'l, otherwise the country will be put to the endless expeuse of coining gold, which will be returned upon the Bank its bullion, or exported to foreign markets, and we shall he mocked by the semblance of a cash currency, without eitjoyilig one of it. advantages. Welearn with sincere pleasure that the Bank Di rectors have at letigth seriously considered the means of checking the increase of the crime of forgery, and that a new note will he soon issued. It would seem that the late acquittals at the Old Bailey have stimulated the exertions of these. Gen tlemen. We yesterday alluded to en intended application on the part of the Priori:tiers who have, ►n the present Old Bailey Sessions. pleaded guilty to the minor offence of knowingly having forged Bank notes in their possession, for permis►ion to hr allowed by the Court to revoke their plea, and pot themselves on their trial for the offeoces with which, they stood charged. This application has, we morlerstalitl, been since made in the shape of a memorial to the RECORDER, bald rejected.
