Increase 60,721,000
There will be a new increase for the month of December,
and from receipts which will only be effected in the second
pert of the year, that is to my, after the Ist January. This
inert's* nut at present be only approximately estimated ;
but we may be nearly certain of being below the truth is
ealculating at 80,000,000 f. the lacrosse which the indirect
revenues of the year 1862 will present over the year 1831
This increase having only been estimated at 37,000,000 f.,
the receipts will be 23,000,000 r. more than were set down
in this budget. Such a considerable improvement in this
important branch of the public revenue is of fortunate
augury. Everybody knows, in fact, that the indirect taxes
rise or fall according to the abundance of labour, the move-
ment of affairs, and the activitvof transactions. Such a rapid
increase, as that which we point out, le • striking proof of
the public wealth and prosperity. We are particularly
happy in remarking the increase of 91 millions, which
the last month presents compared to the corresponding
month of the year 1851. November, 1861, was the last
mouth of parliamentary agitation. The direct taxes and
various revenues will give besides 12,000,000 f. more than
the estimate of the budget ; so that the whole of the receipts
of the year 1862 will exceed by about 36,000,000 f. the esti-
mates of the budget. This Increase of receipts reduce* by so
much the deficit; this deficit having been in appearance
101,000,000 f., descends to 08,000,000 f. On the other hand,
the whole of the credits opened will nut be employed.
The credits annulled have during the last six years averaged
60,000,600 f. a year. This year they will not amount to so
much, became the budget was established in the worse of
the year, when wants could be better appreciated ; but in
recanniag them only at 26,000,000 f., the final deficit,
or the deficit of the year 1862, will not be more
than 40,000,000 f. To appreciate this deficit, and the
situation which results from it, it moat not be forgotten
that in thus getting into debt for 40,000,0001'. only, the
state has deviated this year 73,000,000 f. to the execution of
extraordinary public works, an expense essentially pro-
ductive, and which, en the conditioo of being restricted
within nrudent limits, should be considered less as an ex-
pense than is an advance and an advantageous investment.
If placed in presence of the great things which have been
done this year, of the great works which the Emperor has
ordered, the measures of reparation which he has accom-
plished, the deficit is insignificant. Let us add, that for
the floating dot it will be a very light charge ; for, in
of the deficits left to it by previous years, the resources
eithie fleeting debt will greatly exceed its wants, since at
proms* the funds in hand amount to 162,000,000 f. In
these different point• of view the financial situation of the
year 1862 is completely estisfsctory."
The marriage of the Emperor with the Princess
Carols Waaa is now no longer in question. The
government papers will to-morrow morning publish
the article of the Cassel Gazelle, stating that the
princess is betrothed to Prince Albert of Saxony,
and allege that the union has long been a settled
affair.
