THE PRUSSIAN PRESS.

BERLIN, Jots 5.
Six Berlin journals—viz., the Berlin A Wiemeine
Beating, the Sperier'selie Beating, the National Zei-
tung, the Voseisache Zeitung, the Bel um Zeitung,
and Volks-Zeitung—have published a joint declara-
tion reserving their rights, in view of the roysl•or-
dinanoe of the Ist inst. relative to the press. They
say that the government has yet to furnish the na-
tion with proofs of the legality of that measure.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, THURSDAY Evimus.

The Moniteur has not a line of electoral intelli-
gence ; and I believe there is little more to be said
on the subject to-day. The formality of legally pro-
claiming the of the Paris elections was ful-
filled at the e 1 de Ville this morning. It will
be interesting a few days hence to add up the ma-
jorities and minorities throughout France, in order
to compare them with 1867 ; but the figures are not
out yet. There was an expectation that a short

session would be held this month for the " veri-
fication of power'," and, possibly, the presentation
of an addresa. But I hear now there will be no
session till quite the end of the autumn. The mi-
nisters who put off the elections as long as they
could are likely to put off the meeting of parlia-
ment for a like reason—they want the longest
respite possible, in order to take the chance of the
chapter of accidents.
The France announces that it shall bring an
action against the Constitutionnel for a libel in
saying thst it (the France), by its conduct in
regard to the elections, has betrayed the empire.
' At Versailles on Monday night the population
was startled out of its first sleep by loud shouting
and military music. The prefect had summoned the
military band of one of the regiments in garrison
to give a serenade to his son-in-law, who had just
been returned as a government candidate. A libel
upon M. Barthelemy St. Hilaire, the opposition
candidate, bad been launched by the prefect a few
hours before the election, and too late for any
reply to be possible. This libel, and the curious
pressing into extra service of a military band, will
be brought before the Corp. Legialatif when it
meets.

The Bourse is weaker than yesterday, owing, as
it is rumoured, to a decrease of bullion in the
Bank of England. Rents fell 10e. for account ; in
other securities there was little change.
The Daily News is seized.

INDIA.

SIR CHARLES TREVELYAN'S BUDGET.

By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have
advicea from Bombay to May 14, and from Calcutta
to May 5.

The financial statement of the Indian Chancellor
of the Exchequer for 1803-64 was delivered by Sir
Charles Trevelyan on the 30th April in the
" Council of the Governor-General for making
Laws and Regulations." According to the mi-
nister the statement was based on "an outside
estimate of expenditure and an inside estimate of
revenue." The following is a summary of this
document :

The total gross revenue of 1862-63 is 45,105,7001., which is 1
2,134,5001. more than the budget estimate, and 1,276,228!.
more than tha actual receipts of 1861-62. It is a favourable
indlcatioo of the progress of India that the revenue is habi-
tually under-estimated. The growth is so rapid sa to out-
strip every calculation which it is considered safe to make.
The total expenditure in lodia io 1862-3 is 37,228,9001.
agaiost an aitimated sum of 36,329,4001., but to this last
must be added 366,3001. for loss by exchange, which was
not provided for, and the real comparison, they:alms, stands
as follows:

Emmen of expenditure over the budget
estimate

The total expenditure in India in 1861-62 wa537,245,7564,
and there is therefore a decrease of expenditure in 1862-63,
compared with the preceding year, of 16,8561. These re-
sults are satisfactory, inasmuch as they show improved
accuracy in estimating the expenditure and the &bassos of
any menus is it. The net expenditure in England is
5,292,3971., which is less than Mr. Icings estimate cor-
rected by the additions which Sir C. Wood direoted to be
made to it (making a total sum of 5,491,4321.) by 199,0354
This mimes from reduced expenditure at home. The sum
paid at home for guaranteed interest on railway capital, leas
net traffic receipts, le 1,647,4781., against a budget estimate
of 1,500,0001. The gross expenditure in India, added to the
met expenditure in Eogland, including railways, amounts
to 44,168,7754 ; and deducting this from 45,105,7001., the
POND revenue of lad* there remains a net surplus of
836,9251. of income over expenditure for the year 1862.63.
This maul is more favourable than that shown in the
regular estimate, because, as has been already stated, in-
formation was subsequently received of reductiees having
been made in the home charges and guaranteed interest,
