EXPRESS FROM PARIS. " A degree of perfection, that has bren for some time past a great desideratum, has been just realized in the system of public accounts. The duration of the exer cises has been by a recent decree shortened by two months. Favourable at the same time to the Treasury and to its creditors, this measure will accelerate the liquidation and the payment of the debts of the State, and will render more easy the formation and the audit of the accounts. " In order to enter into the views of the Assembly, the Administration has undertaken, and nearly termi nated, the reorganisation of ail the arrondissements of collection. This great labour, which will have for re sult the successive suppression, by means of extinction, of 1,500 employees, will be followed by a considerable saving. "Three projects of Jaw, on matters worthy of your consideration, will soon be submitted to you. " Oar, conceived in the interest of agriculture, com merce, and industry, has for its object to free the Admi nistration of canals by means of the redemption of ac tions de jouissancc—shares of preference_impediments which result from the cahiers de charge—the conditions of the contract. prohibitive duty now in force against foreign sugar, an impost of a sufficiently protective characeer, it would conciliate, in an equitable manner, the inthreets of the people, which calls for sugar at a cheep rate, with the interests of the producers of the home-made or colonial article, also those of the shipping interest, with the claims of the Treasury. The definitive solution of the three questions belong completely at present to the As sembly. " Other ameliorations are ready. The department of Commerce, after having obtained the aid of a special Committee, has prepared a Bill on the mode of distri buting the premiums destined to be given for the en couragement of the fisheries. The law now in force ex pires on December 31, 1851. "In the Interior, by the opening of new Customs' offices, by the creation of new bonding warehouses, by the simplification of the formalities connected with the transit of goods through the country, by the opportune application of the system of temporary admission, the Government has endeavoured to add fresh facilities to the commercial eechanges of France with foreign countries. " The Department of Commerce has taken all the measures necessary to enable the products of French in dustry to appear with honour at the Great Exhibition which is to take place in London in 1851. " In the concerns of our commercial shipping inte rest an inquiry, similar to that of 1824, will be shortly instituted, and will give an opportnnity of ascertaining all that may be wanted. The shipowners demand it, and the Government is anxious for it. It cannot remain barren of results. " Amongst the provident institutions which the Go vernment intends developing, mutual aid societies and pension funds, instituted by the state, occupy the first rack. An inquiry, now pursued with activity, will show what is the number of such societies already existing in France, and the services which they render. It will lead to the formation of an exact table of the chances of illness incidental to each age. Meanwhile nothing is neglected to lead to the creation of these institutions on bases in conformity with the idea of the Legisla ture; and the Government can felicitate itself on the co-operation which has been afforded in this matter bg all the heads of factories and industrial establishments, and in particular those of Lyons and Mulhausen, who have given a most noble example. " Quarantine measures furnish the Government with means of guaranteeing the public health from dangers from without. But exaggeration in such measures trammels the liberty of international relations. The re strictive principles in this matter, admitted by foreign powers, cause great damage to French commerce, with out any possible reciprocity on our part, our regulations being generally dictated by a liberal spirit. An accord amongst the great Powers which have ports in the Me• diterrantan would lead to the cessation of the hindrances and losses of time and money:which result from the pre sent system. All our efforts tend to obtain this. "JUSTICE. " Three drafts of essential laws have been submitted to the National Assembly. " On Judiciary Organizaticn. " On Judiciary Assistance. " On Mortgages. " The first fulfils one of the obligations imposed by the Constitution. The two ethers realize certain pro mises contained in the Message of the 6th June. 1849. "But the law on mortgages would not be sufficient for the establishment of landed credit. It gives solidity to the territorial pledge, but it accelerates the liquidation only in a small degree, and does not put an end to the unanimous complaints which accuse the regulation of judgments of unnecessary delay. The administration of justice, to complete its work, has prepared a new law on the distribution by course of order of the price of landed property, combining as much as possible promptitude with security. The attention of the National Assembly will be directed at the same time to different laws relative to the restoration of convicts to their civil rights, likewise to the repression of crimes and offences committed in foreign countries by Frenchmen, and to some other im portant portions of our penal legislation. " Six thousand convicts confined in the bagnes of Teuton, Brest, and Rochfort, load our budget with an enormous weight; whilst they become more depraved, and menace society at every moment. It has appeared possible to render the penalty of hard labour more effi cacious and more reforming, less expensive and at the same time more humane, by utilizing the progress of French colonization. A law will be presented to you on that question. "It will be proposed at the same time to render more useful and more real the surveillance to which male factors are subjected oe whom justice has inflicted penal and degrading punishment. The number of offences and crimes committed every year attest how great and indispensable is the amelioration of our repressive legis latton. Now the modifications which penitentiary re form is preparing will render justice less expensive, and will diminish the frequency of repeated crimes. They will contribute likewise to the course of justice and of that reform which the magistrates pursue with such im partial devotedness and such vigilant firmness. " PUBLIC ISTRUCTION AND RELIGIOUS WORSHIP. " The 9th article of the Constitution prescribed the introduction of liberty and competition in education, un der certain conditions of capacity and morality, and under the superintendence of the State. The law which operated this radical reform was prefaced by two mea sures. The first is the abolition of the certificate of education; the second the transitory law relating to the appointment and the revocation of primary teachers. One of those measures has put an end to old and warm complaints. The other, according to the unanimous re ports of the prefects, has produced the most fartunate results. " The important law of the 15th March, 1850, induced a considerable change amongst the personnel as well as certain new regulations. Several months have been de voted to that double labour. The first is almost com pleted. Several decrees prepared with the concurrence of the Council of State have provided for the most press ing regulations become necessary. Other plans are being discussed. Everything announces that in general the provisions of the new law will realize the hopes of the Government and of the Assembly. The administra tion of religious worship has obtained from the Holy See after tedious negotiations, a measure long since demanded —the erection of three colonial bishoprics and the ap pointment of three prelates for Martinique, Guadeloupe, and the island of La Reunion. " The Sovereign Pontiff proclaimed, at the same con sistory, three new cardinals, granted to the French Church as an eminent proof of gratitude towards our nation, and of esteem for the French Episcopacy. " WAR. " The effective of the land forces, which in the month of June, 1841, amounted to 451,000 men and 93,754 horses, is no more at present than 396,000 men and 87,400 horses, and will shortly be reduced to the limits prescribed in the budget, to which it will be confined it political circumstance permit us. Its organization will not be definite until after the adoption of the laws on the cadres submitted the 19th June last. Neverthe less severe' essays have been made, or are under prepa ration, to augment the well-beiog of the soldier, to di minish the charges in the oaks, and to modify the ad ministrative control. " I again invite your consideration to the laws which are presented to you, and which will aeleiterate the position of officers, noncommissioned officers, and soldiers' " Algeria had guttered mach from the political events of 1848. The notable diminution which the effective of our troops experienced, has not prevented our braVe army from meeting every danger.

The Beni-Immel have been rented by the brave and unfortunate General de Barrel, and some days afterwards the Beni-Merad. In the south the Aures was visited several times by our troops: The submission of the Nememcha assures an important supply to oar markets; and the new or ! eanization of these countries opens to us a road into the interior of Africa. "The tranquillity of the province of Algiers permits the continuation of the works which have been com menced; The population suffered much from scarcity, but the iellitmry authorities came to their assistance in every possible Eel " Tranquillity has beee Maintained in the province of Oren eterywhere, thanks to t he intelligeuce of the offi cers of our Arab establishments; the natives every day appteditite more and More the justice of our administra tion.

At the same time the fertility of the soil is increased by th l e s d o t ging of 250,000 metres of irrit atin g canals, and of '15,000 drains; 116,000 metres of conduits conduct water into Our towns—in fine, 900 buildings of every description hare been erected to the present time. " The important works of the port of Algiers are con tinued with activity.

I t' The estate will not neglect anything in order to ar nri IN RE JOSEPH inTAMMER,. This ins,l , lvent, who was a director of the Wednesday Evening Concerti, held at Exeter Hail, applied to the Court during the vacation, and a hearing of the case having been had, it was further adjourned to this morning. Mr. Sargood oppost d on behalf of Mr. Willy, the violinist; and Mr. Cooke and Mr. Lucas supported. The insolvent denied that Mr. Willy had first sug gested the idea of the London WedneAay Evening Con certs; on the contrary, he affirmed that Mr. Wiqy had been his servant as the conductor of the concerts, having a band of net formers under his superintendence. He (the insolvent) had formerly been a coal merchant, in partnership watt Mr. Morton and Mr. Batters, and he had retired from the coal trade with a capital of 3001. The reason of his insolvency was the last unfavourable season with the concerts. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. At half-past 3 o'clock M. Baroche, Minister of the Interior, ascended the tribune, and proceeded to read the following message addressed to the National Assembly by the President of the Republic : "Messieurs les Repisentants,—My first message co incided with the first meeting of the Legislative Assem bly. The same electors who named me to the Supreme Magistracy of the country called you by their suffrages to sit here. France saw you arrive with joy, far the same thought presided over our two elections. It imposed on us the same mandate, and made the re-establishment of order and the maintenance of external peace depend on our union. A considerable amelioration has been effected since the month of June, 1849. When you arrived the country was still disturbed by the last mo ments of the Constituent Assembly. Many imprudent votes had created great embarrassments to the Govern ment. The violence of the Tribune was as ever trans ferred to street agitation, and the 13th of June beheld the &Duro of a new attempt at insurrection. Though easily repressed, it still showed the imperative ne cessity of uniting our efforts against evil passions. To overcome them it was at first necessary to prove to the nation that the best intelligence reigned between the As sembly and the Executive Power, to imprint on the Ad ministration an uniform and firm direction, to combat resolutely the causes of disorder, to reanimate the ele ments of prosperity. It was not subs:antiated that the insolvent was pos• sessed of property that was not set forth in his schedule, or that any other party than himself was liable for debts contracted on account of the concerts; and having obtained leave to amend his schedule, he was discharged. " The other regulates the general affair of pensions. " The third demands of the Assembly, the ways and means necessary to effect, with the view of a Letter re partition of the property tax, a new valuation of territo rial revenue. We shall propose to you a combination which,while maintaining the,ectual produce of the impost, will relieve succ , .?ssively the overburdened departments without aggravation to the others. PUBLIC WORKS. " The re3uction of credits has occasioned the adjourn ment of necessary works,'.and even delayed the execu tion of the most urgent: Nevertheless important sec tions of railroads have been for the last year opened. " The second half-year of 1849 has seen opened the sections of Paris to Chalons•sur-?►Marne, Paris to Ton nerre, Dijon to Chalons-sur-Saone, Saumur to Angers, Versailles to Chartres, Noyon to Chauny, Saint Pierre to Calais—total 574 kilometres. During the year 1850 have been opened the sections of Chalons-sur-Marne to Vitry; Metz to Nancy; Nirondes to Nevers; Chauny to St. Quentin —total 152 kilometres. " The year 1851 will see opened the sections of Vitry to Bar-le Duc; Metz to St. Avoid; Strasbourg to Sarre bourg; Tonnerro to Dijon; Tarascon to Beaucaire; Tours to Poitiers; Angers to Nantes; and we also hope, Chartres to la Loupe—total, 513 kilometres. " INTERIOR. "The important lavrs that the gravity of events obliged you to adopt contributed powerfully to re establish confidence, because they proved the force of the Assembly and the Government when they are in perfect accord. " The Administratior, on its side, redoubled its vi gour, and the functionaries, who appeared neither ca pable nor sufficiently devoted to the difficult mission of conciliating without weakness, and of repressing without party spirit, were dismissed; others, on the contrary, were promoted or recompensed. " The municipal authority, so salutary when its action was traukly united to that of the Executive Power, drew on itoelf very justly, iu many communes, grave reproaches. 421 rol.yors and 183 adjoiut , 4 had to be dismissed; and it all thoze who have remained unequal to their funetiors have not been similarly treated the cause is iu the imperfec tion of the laws. "The iron trade is one of those which recovers more slowly. in 1849 the foundries produced 425,000 tons of cast metal, about 59,000,000 F., and 275,000 tons of pig-iron, of the value of 81,000,000 f. more or leSi. At present the activity of the iron establishments seems to revive. _ _ "To remedy this defect the Council of State has already commenced the exatuira;ion of a project of law; but it is difficult to conciliate the municipal fran chise with the unity of action—the true force of the central power. _ " Measures are being continued, with the view of placing at the disposal of the agricultural interest the means, so precious for it, of irrigation and draining. " The freedem of transport (roulage), which by a project of law of recent date, we proposed establishing, will also be, for agriculture as for commerce, a real benefit. " The National Guard, the useful auxiliary against in ternal and external enemies, when it is well organised, acted but too qften in a sense contrary to the objects of its institution, and obliged us to dissolve it in 153 towns and commune; in fine, in all places where it presented the charagker of an armed corps deliberating. The tribunals have worthily seconded the Government. The magistracy has displayed great energy in enforcing the execution of the laws, and punishing those who violated them. " I beg to call in particular the attention of the As sembly to the concession of the Lyons 114ilroad. On this concession depends the resumption of the most im portant works, as it permits the distribution amongst the other railroads, and public works of every kind, of the sums from which the Treasury will be relieved. To srcure order in the more agitated provinces, ex tensive commands, comprising several military divisions, have been created, and powers more enlarged have been confided to experienced generals. On all sides the army has given its concourse with that admirable devo tedness peculiar to it, and everywhere the gendarmerie has a.ecmplished its mission with a zeal worthy of all praise. Agitation has been calmed in the country dis tricts by putting a restraint on the detestable propa g • and which was exercised by the primary t e a c hers. a Several have been dismissed. The schoolmasters " Our political, commercial, and industrial interests require the completion, as soon as possible, of the lines from Paris to Marseilles, from Paris to Strasbourg, from Paris to Bordeaux, from the west and the centre. Now, to complete these railroads and our great public works in course of execution, the Treasury will have still on the Ist January next 585,000,000 f. to expend, viz,— For Railroads (of which 230 for the Paris and Lyons, and for the Lyons and Avignon) ••• ••• ••• fr. 430,000,000 " For Canals, and in particular for the completion of the Canal of the Marne to the Rhine, and the lateral Canal are no longer the instruments of disorder. Although incessantly occupied with an urgent repression, the Goverument has adopted all that seemed to it proper to ameliorate the situation of the country. Thus. in spite of the difficulty of circum stances, the Property-tax has been reduced by 27,000,000 f. A project of organization of credit, the ap plication of which will be still rare facilitated by the mortgage reform, has bekt submitted to you. The laws relative to the caisses de retraite and mutual relief which you have voted will exercise the most salutary influence on the condition of the working classes. The organization of sock ties of patronage—the most useful auxiliary of the Administration in the double interest of morality and public security—hospitals, charitable establishments, have been the objects of our special solicitude. The best dotination possible has been given to the funds from relief. _ of the Garonne ••• ••• " For the Improvements of the Naviga- 25,000,000 tion of the Rivers ...

Total ... ... fr. 585,000,000 "If all these works remained to the charge of the State the Treasury would still have 585,000,000 to ex pend; they could not for a long time be terminated, and with an average dotation of 70,000,000 francs a year, as in 1850 and 1851, their completion would require still nearly nine years. " If the Lyons Railway be conceded, there will result for the Treasury a relief of at least 260,000,000 francs, (6) which will reduce those charges to 325,000,000 f.. and to less than six years the period necessary to ter minate these great works. "To reduce the charges of the Treasury by 260,000,000 f., to advance by four years the completion of our roads, our canals, our rivers, our railroads, will be, gentlemen, a great and useful measure. The Assembly, I hope, will be struck, as I am, by the immense advantage of a prompt concession of the Paris and Lyons railroad, for the ensemble of all our works. A project has been in course of formation for many years past with the view of procuring for the communes all the benefit that can be procured for waste lands. " The roads, the source of prosperity for the ruraldis tricts, receive constant ameliorations, which tend to com plete the ensemble of rural communications. " The last message expressed the desire of seeing the suppression of payment in kind. The National Assem bly has already had before it propositions relative to this object. The Council-General when consulted decide in great measure for the maintenance of the prestation en nature rather than for its suppression, But to maintain the proportionality of the impost without diminishing the r ecessary resources is a problem difficult to resolve. " The financial condition of the consmunes is in a state cf improvement, but the Government moderates their excessive desire to vote local expenses. " The new telegraphic lines voted by the law of the 10th February last are in the course of execution. They are acting from Paris to Tours, to Rouen, to Valen ciennes; but it is recetsary to extend them still more. The law on private telegraphs, submitted at this moment to the Assembly, requires a prompt solution. " The Government has exercised indulgence when ever it could do so without danger. Tbus, since the month of June, 1849, 2,400 convicts have been set at liberty without danger to public tran quillity. There remains only 458, who have been sent to Algeria. There still remain, unhappily, without counting the June convicts, 348 persons condemned for political offences in the prisons of France. The interdiction of labour in the prisons had aggravated the condition of the prisoners. The decree of the 9th January, 1849, has not remedied the evil. A project of law which preserves the interests of society, and those of the prisoners, has been submitted to the Council of State. When it is adopted the Government will utilize as much as possible this numerous class in agricultural works. The well-being and the morals of the adult prisoners, the cellular penitentiary system, the improvements of the regime of the central prisons continue to be studied in a serious manner, and soon the Government will de mand from the Assembly the means of creating model agricultural colonies for these adults, in virtue of the law of the sth of August. " A project of law will be presented to you for the re lief of the remains of our armies of the Republic and the Empire. who are now without resources, political events having frustrated them from their rights, and because it is unworthy of a groat nation to leave such men any longer in a state of misery. " FINANCES. " The ensemble of this policy has considerably im proved our financial situation. The accounts for 1848 have been submitted to you, and you have been made acquainted with the definitive condition of that budget. " It was for a moment thought that the budget of 1849, by reason of certain circumstances, unforeseen at the moment it was voted, would impose on the Treasury a charge cf about 300,000,000 f. Thanks to the progress of the revenue and to the economy introduced in the different services, this deficit, it may be now affirmed, will be reduced to nearly 100,000,000 f. " Everything leads us to hope that the presumed de ficit of the budget of 1850 will be sensibly diminished, and that the equilibrium announced for 1851 will be realised ; the ascending progress of the indirect revenue is Sustained ; the first nine months of 1850, compared with the corresponding months of last year, give an advantage of more than. 28,000,000 f.

The return to the primitive statutes has reduced neither th© extent nor the import ance of the circulation. (2.) . "if the produce of the Customs has experienced some diminution, the difference arises from accidental causes, which you all know, and which are referabl e t o salt and colonial sugars; but considered in the whole, our international commerce., after a serious depression in 1848, was raised in 1849 by a rapid and sustained movement. Abstention made of the extraordinary in troduction of grain in 1847, we are in advance on this very year, both as to the value of the imports and ex ports, and the number and tonnage of ships (3). " The collection of direct contributions is being exe cuted with remarkable punctuality. On the 3d of September last a third of the twelfth only was in arrear ; this is much less than in periods of gresteir prosperity (4). " These happy changes in the totality o' financial facts will have permitted from 1849 to I'ssl—that is to say, for the space of three years, in spite of the reduc tion of many important taxes, to endow the country with near l y 2 60 m illi ons worth of public works, to re lieve the lower classes of traders, to remit 27,000,000 carnet to aeu rtdwngeeeset tsn diagriculture,tnehseidreeafi and t Ai n o t u3 p; au y n : c dh p fia u rtr n mog c e t hsa u or a apr i ni l e y vd: rt all oeasteo t s h ult e eracnb e eg x lsit expenses se s of the 1 I 4a th b e iss l a t "n at e : These results will have been obtained without requiring o a n il e t h x rl t r hT a o r r ec d l o, i su n un a r r ty y r y, gt aid from credit, a n d w ith ou t i mpos i ng exaggerated eirtnen, ad h v a: n u e n e d s. oubtedly the sen timent of this improved situation.

" The workmen in our arsenals, enlightened by ex perience, have resumed tbeir works with activity, and we can cite important examples : " At Cherbourg, the breakwater, the new arsenal, the Fort des Flamand, the formatiora of the inner dock; " At Toulon, the clearing of the roadstead, of which the filth part is terminated. " At Oleron, the elevation of the fort Bayard, to pro tect the roadstead of the Isle d'Aix. " At Port Vendre, all that is necessary to give a sure refuge to the fleet. " At Marseilles, the new dock. " While waiting the results of the inquiry, the Admi nistratisn has thought right to postpone all radical re form in the different branches of the complex adminis tration of the Marine dedartment. " However, by decree of the 16th January, 1850, the Council of the Admiralty has been constituted in a man ner to idsure to the marine corps the advantages given to the officers of the fleet. " The penal system of the Marine has been submitted to a well studied revision; this important work, so long required by marines and jurisconsults will be submitted to yon at no distant time. " The ordinance regarding the sea service is about to receive modifications which will combine the advantages of progress already accomplished to the immutable, pria ciples of discipline. " In the colonies of the Antilles, after disasters, which have not, however, turned out to be so bad as might have been found, considering the gravity of the sudden trial of social transformation which they have endured, tranquillity is re-established, and the Government is firmly resolved to maintain it by an energetic adminis tration, which it will, however, know how to reconcile with an appeasing of the division of castes. " The sensible decline of production is an incontesta ble fact, but which may be in part explained by the em barrassed situation of proprietors, without having to draw from it a conclusion unfavourable to the probable results of free labour. Nothing has been left undone to ameliorate the moral and material state of our colonial possessions. Organization, policy, justice, administra tion, banks, colonization—all have been submitted to the examination of eminent men, and will become the object of several projects of successive laws.: " Our colony of the Re-union, exempt from troubles, would not have seen a decrease of its remarkable pro sperity had not two successive storms so recently spread devastation in that quarter. " Upon the western coast of Africa our commerce is becoming signalised by progress in which we are taking a share that must interest us in our establishments of Senegal and of Geree, and our factories at different points as far as the Equator. " At Tahiti the maintenance of our protectorate pre serves in the Pacific a point d'appui for our missions, as well as for our military and merchant marine. i" FOREIGN AFFAIRS. " Since my last Message our foreign policy has ob pined in Italy a great success. Our arms have over thrown at Rome that turbulent demagogy which, through out the Italian Peninsula had compromised the cause of true liberty, and our brave soldiers have had the signal honour of replacing Pope Pius the Ninth on the throne of St. Peter. The spirit of party will tail in obscur ing this memorable deed, which will form a glo rious page for France. The constant:aim of our efforts has been to encourage the liberal and philan thropical intentions of the Holy Father, the Pontifical poweripursues the realization of the formulas contained in the motn proprio of the 2d of September. 1849. Some of the organic laws have alceady been published, and those which are to complete ensemble of the admi nistrative and military organisation in the states of the Church will not be long delayed. It is needless to say, that our army, yet necessary for the maintenance of order at Rome.:is ,exally so for our political influence, and which having rendered itself illustrious by its cou rage, is no less admired fer its discipline and its admi nistration. " On the different points where our diplomacy has had to interfere it has nobly maintained the dignity of France; and our allies have never bad to demand our support in vain. "It is thus that, in concert with England, we have sent several forces into the Levant, to show our loyal sympathy for tde independence of the Porte which sup posed that Russia and Austria meant to infringe by de manding in virtue of ancient treaties the extradition of Hungarian and Polish subjects refugees on the Turkish territory. Thanks to the wisdom which these powers have brought info negotiations on the question, the in tegrity of the rights of the Ottoman empire have been secured. " In Greece, as soon as we learned the acts by which England supported her reclamations we intervened by our good offices, France could not remain indifferent to the lot of a nation whose independence she had so much contributed to; she did not hesitate to offer her media tion, despite the difficulties raised during the course of the negotiations, nor succeeded in scf,ening the condi tions imposed on the 6 overnment of Athens, and our ne gotiations with Great Brii:ain resumed immediately their accustomed character. _ . " In Spain we have seen with pleasure the ties which made the two countries become closer by the mutual sympathy of the two Covernmenve. Thus, as soon as the French Government learnen the criminal attack directed by some adventurers against the Lie of Cuba, we sent new forces to the commander of tiie Antilles, with an injunction to unite his efforts to those of the Spanish authorities to prevent the recurrence of similar attempts. " Denmark excites still our most lively solicitude. This ancient ally, which had so much to endure on ac count of her fidelity to France at the period of our dis asters, has not yet, notwithstanding the bravery of her army, subdued the insurrection which has broken out in the Duchy of Holstein. The armistice of the 18th July, 1849, has been recognised by the interim of Frankfort, which had charged Prussia to treat in the name of Germany. After laborious negotiations a treaty was signed the 2d July, through the media tion of England, between Denmark and Prussia. This treaty, ratified at first by the Cabinet of Berlin, and her allies, has just been equally so by Austria and the Powers represented at the Assembly of Frankfort. While these negotiations were proceeding in Germany, the Powers friendly to Denmark opened conferences at London, for the sake of maintaining the integrity of the states of the King of Denmark, such as has been gxaranteed by treaties. If the steps taken by the Allied Powers have not yet succeeded in putting an end to the struggle engaged in in the North of Germany, they have at least obtained the happy result of curtailing the pro portions of the war, which only exists now between the King of Denmark and the unsubdaed provinces. " We eel insist upon the King of Denmark assuring, by institution!, the rights of the Duchies. On the other hand, we will give him all the support which he has a right to require from us by virtue of treaties and of our ancient treaties. " In the midst of the political conflictions which divide Germany we have observed the most strict neutrality. So long es French interests, and the equilibrium of Europe shall not be comprised, we will continue a policy marked by our respect for the independence of our neighbours. " Immediately after the vote of the National As sembly on the subsidy for Montevideo, the Government resumed the negotiations pending at Buenos Ayres. The object was to make the modifications in the treaties ooncluded in 1849, which were deemed indispensable in Order to guarantee efficaciously the independence of the riental Republic, to protect the interests of France over UreguY, and to preserve the nrtional honour. We h o p e to terunnete usefully and honourably the regretable com plications se e s eh for a long time past have interrupted the good relations between France and the Republic of La Plata. " Our commercial relations with foreign countries are becoming consolidated and develaped. " The English Government has , in fact, extended, since the Ist of January, 1850, to the French flag the dispositions of the New Navigation Act of the 26th of June, 1849. It has also very recently abolished the dif ferontial duties on the exportation of coals. " We hope that the negotiatiofis pending at the pre sent moment, for the new trealy of navigation and com merce with Great Britain, will soon resolve themselves into an arrangement in conformity with the interests of the two countries. " The treaty concluded with Belgium on the 7th of November, 1849. is in force for scarcely a yeaf, and already the two countries have experienced the most advantageous remelts from it, " Some difficulties of detail, relative to the edditional articles of the treaty with Chili, sanctioned by the law of the 15th of March, 1850, by retarding the execution of it, shall soon be levied. "A new convention has been signed at Paris, on the 3a of August last, between France and Bolivia. It will be submitted to the sanction of the Legislature, after the approbation of the Bolivian Government. e The negotiatisn, followed with activity by the Cabinet of Turin for the renewal of the convention of the 28th of August, 1843, has just been terminated by a treaty of commerce and navigation. The abuse, too long tolerated, of literary and artis ticol ping'/ is the subject sf numerous negotiations. The greatZ7 part of the Cabinet to whom international ar rangement..have been p ro p osed for the purpose of putting an end to that ...." buse, have received them at least in principle. Already e e . -en Sardinia has signed a conven tion with France for the IN:iprocal guarantee of literary will give more effect to and artictical property, whiCh the treaties of 1843 and 1846. on, t p Call therefore say, without presnt...

KELLY'S POST .• OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY for 1851. Among the many products of British industry, none, perhaps, will better deserve a place in the Ex hibition of 1851, than this mammoth volume, in itself a specimen of industry, research, accuracy, and typography, which has rarely, if ever been equalled, and which can never be surpassed, whilst, at the same time, it is the guide to, and the record of, all those great and magnificent industrial establish ments, to the existence of which in London she owes the proud position which she holds as the metropolis of the civilized world, which occupy buildings covering a space of ground larger than the territories of many a German or Italian independent Prince, and which give employment to individuals whose numbers ex ceed those of the armies of many of the first-rate powers of the world. As a not unworthy specimen of British industry itself, and as a copious, and ac curate, and complete index to every other species of metropolitan industry, " Kelly's Post-office London Directory" is certainly entitled to a place in the Ex hibition which is to take place in the Glass Palace of Industry in the year 1851. This publication of the "Post-office London Direc tory" commenced in the year 1790, and the present is, consequently, the sixty-second annual publication ; and it is a matter of curious research to compare the present with the early editions of the work, and to mark the vast improvement which has been effected ; in fact the present resembles the earlier editions in name merely. The work, in order to facilitate reference, is now divided into no less than ten Di rectories :—viz., an Official Directory, a Street Directory, a Commercial Directory, a Trades Directory, a Law Directory, a Court Directory, a Parliamentary Directory, a Postal Directory, a City Directory, a Conveyance Directory, and a Banking Directory, and the whole is so admirably indexed, that a person desiring any information with regard to the great metropolis or its inhabitants, cannot experience the slightest difficulty in at once laying his finger on the page of the 2,091 pages of which this book is composed, which contains the information be requires. The present edition of the Directory contains a list of the principal hotels and commercial inns throughout England and Wales, with the names of the occupiers, and the population according to the census of 1841. This is, we believe, a novelty pe culiar to the Directory for 1851, and cannot fail to increase its usefulness. In this we see only another proof of the anxiety of the proprietor to make his work as complete, as useful, and as perfect as possible. As be himself well observes in his preface : " Copiousness, accuracy, and appropriate classification, so that everything which may reasonably be expected in such a book may not only be found, but found without difficulty, are indispensable to perfection. " These advantages can in any directory only he at tained gradually, and not completely until, as in W. d case, the work enjoys the entire circulation. " While rivals existed patronage w&s divided ', e t,,,- e „ books which were, or should have b een , cor_dterp-a-r-ts- of each other; the public, therefore, had pay more ttitu od were ;c tiosught they need have done for such e ior k s preh erosive total l a r n e d c , ei p b t e s si n d o e t s, b t e o in s g ubrlt c , i)e tro i ( „C p:t: two l e n sdirec toriestheh present.

So 'that the public, as well as the proprietor lower r or the "Post-office London Directory," benefit by the cir cumeaince that the work is—as it has fur 'several years pa.l,t been—without a competitor. "It may be safely predicted that this favourable position will be continued—firmly established as thi s Directory is in public favour, it can only be necessary that an equal amount of diligence to that which has led to so gratifying a result still be continued, in order to sustain it; on this the public may with confidence rely." The public have for years past relied with confidence on the exertions of the proprietors of the " Poet-office London Directory," and have invariably found their confidence responded to, so that year by year the work has become more copious, more accurate, and better classified, until now it has attained that which is to all appearance a state of absolute perfection, and is, in every sense of the phrase, without a rival.

The Queens Commissi on was ordered to be issued, and Parliament will be furth er prorogued with the usual formalities to-morrow at two o'clock. " AGRICULTURE AND COMMERCE. " To extend improvements, to remedy public suffering, is the duty of the Administration of Agriculture and Commerce. The crisis which weighs down our agricul ture invites all our solicitude; the extent of the evil would have rendered the resources at the disposal of the Go vernment insufficient if it meant to make general appli cation of them, It has appeared more useful to localise their employment. Purchasers of grain for the military and naval service in those markets where the depreciation was most felt have relieved local distress by imparting firmness to them. Although the harvest of 1850 did not come up to the hopes entertained of it, it, however, leaves no fear for the supply of the country. " The reduction in the price of grain would not fail to produce a corresponding depression in the cattle markets. " The Administration of Agriculture will neglect none of the means which can favour the breeding of cattle. The cattle shows have also received this year considerable development. Besides local shows others have been opened at Nismes, Aurillac, Saint Lo, and Bordeaux, and a general show at Versailles, more espe cially reserved for the improvements of the breed. Nu merous cultivators who have come from all parts of Frarco to Versailles proved some few days back the utility of this institution. " The breed of horses is much improving, and pre sents satisfactory results. The admioi.tration of studs, has well m e rit e d of agr i culture and of the "Theand t h i n e s i t r i t v u a t l i u o e n has of r a u ti e g e ra s e h u s t s e d a . h which proceeds with an order aid a regularity worthy of all praise, army. The numb er o f h orses has increased in the coun try,quired considerable extent this year. In the whole of the country a sum of 800,000 f. has been applied to them. As the portion of State only amounts to 300,000 f, in this Stlll3, it is evident that the local authorities have afforded them a powerful co-operation. "The practice of agricultural proceedings has made such progress as by its iinportance to rise to the height of a real revolution in politico-economical matters. In the course of the present session the Government will bring before the Assembly measures tending to give development to the practice of irrigation: It will call your attention to the modes of drainage vvbich are in England the object of such extemsiiiti enzoitrage men'.

The situations of brokers and agens de change have risen to their former value, and sales are this year as numerous as in 1847. " The Council of State is about to examine the regulations proposed by the Government for marking the exceptions to be wade in the execution of tbe law which limits to twelve hours the days work.

Finally, the thir dcolonisation a before you on Jul y l fa, concerns the Bill, brought The Government, without shutting its eyes duties. difficulties of a definitive sol - its to ution, is of o p inion th e by reducing in a large proportion that weighs on the mummer, a the duty which Ad of substituting for the above all, if my name as well as my efforts have assiated in strengthening tha good feeling of the army, of which I alone have the disposal, according to the terms of the Constitution, it is a service, I venture to declare, which I consider I have rendered to th© country, for I have al ways turned my personal influence to the profit of the cause of order. " The invariable rule of my political life will b:?, in every circumstanas, to do my duty and nothing but my duty. "At the present day it is permitted to everyone, to the whole world, excepting to me, to endeavour to acce lerate the revision of our fundamental law. If the con stitution contain vices and dangers, you are all at liberty to point them out to the country. I alone, bound by my oath, I confine myself within the strict limits which that constitution has laid down for me. "The Councils-General have, in a great number of instances, expressed a wise in favour of the revision of the Constitution. That wish is only addressed to the legislative power. As far as regards me, the elect of the people, and deriving my powers from the people alone, I shall always conform to their wishes when ex pressed in a legal manner. "The uncertitude as to the future creates, I am aware, many apprehensions by reviving many hopes. Let us all learn to make the sacrifice to the country of these hopes, and only to occupy ourselves wit: its inte rests. If in the present session you vote the revision of the constitution, a Constituent Assembly will assemble for the purpose of reconstrncting our fundamental laws, and regulating the fate of the executive power. If you do not vote it, the people will, in 1852, solemnly mani fest the expression of its new pieasure. But whatever may be the solution of the future, let us understand each other in order that it may never he passion, surprise, or violence that will decide the fate of this great nation. Let us inspire the people with that repose, by being calm in our de liberations. Let as inspire them with a profound feel ing of justice by laying aside on our own sides all ap pearance of selfishness; and then, believe, the progress of our political manners will compensate for the danger derived fsom institutions which were created in days of distrust and nacertainty. " That which pre-occupies me above all things, you may be persuaded, is, not to know who will govern France in 1842, but to employ the time of which I dis pose in snch a manner that the transition, whatever it may be, may be made without trouble. " The most noble and the most dignified object of an elevated mind is not to seek, when one is in possession of power, by what expedients it may be perpetuated, but to watch without ceasing over the means of consolidating, for the advantage of all, the principles of authority and of morality which defy the passions of men and the in stability of the laws. " I have honestly opened my heart to you. You will respond to my fi ankneas by your confidence, to my good intentions by your co-operation, and God will do the rest. " Receive, Gentlemen, the assurance of my high esteem. " LOUIS NAPOLEON .BONAPARTE. " Elysee National. Nov. 12. The Assemb!y was ex tremely numerous, and lis tened with the most proround silence to the reading of that document. The praise bestowed in it on the gen darmerie for the zeal that military force had evinced in maintaining order alt over c?.he country, having ex cited merriment on Ihe Left, the Right responded by cries of " tres bien" (very well). The transporta tion of galley-slaves to the colonies was favourably re ceived by the majority, and the appointment of three new French Cardinals by the Pope, which oc casioned some murmurs on the Left, was hailei with cries of tres bien on the Right. The pas sage relative to the restoration of the Pope, applauded by the majority, excited murmurs on the benches of the Mountain. several members of whom cried, " And the inquisition!" Fhe exposi of the foreign policy of the Government, as well as the Presi dent's declaration relative to the revision of the Consti tution, elicited the loudest applause, which redoubled and continued for some time atter the Minister had de scended from the tribune. M. Henri Dither having given notice of his intention to address interpolations to the Minister of War, rela tive to the appointment of General d'Haufpoul to the goaernment of Algeria, Members on the right cried "in six months," and this last motion having been put to the vote, was adopted by a large majority.
