THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF FRANCE

PARIS, MARCH 24, Evainmo.

In to•day'e sitting of the Senate a debate took
place upon the bill granting extraordinary credits
to the government.
The Marquis d'Audiffret demanded that the
strict regulations with respect to public accounts
fixed by the senatfis-consultum should be main-
tained.

M. Fould stated that the senatfis-consultum
sufficed for all exigencies, and offered suffi-
cient guarantees to the country. He called
to mind the circumstances under which the
present financial system had been arranged.
At that period the public mind was dis-
quieted by all kinds of apprehensions. People
spoke of the necessity of a new loan. Novel finan-
cial regulations had been applied, and notwith-
standing the requirements of • distant war, the
first year of the new system demonstrated ite ad-
vantages. The expenses not foreseen by the re-
gular budget had been diminished, and the budget
for 1862 had been regulated under comparatively
favourable circumstances. According to the expe-

rience of the first two months the budget for 1863
would afford a surplus of 70 millions.
M. Fould continued :--" The reserve of our
finances is in process of formation. In presence of
this position of affairs it is sufficient to be prudent.
The sound condition of our exchequer will provide
as with the means of attaining a reduction of the
public expenses by pure force of economy. This
will add a fresh glory to those with which the
Emperor has already endowed France."
The Bill was then passed by the Senate.

Tim Hamm( or GABIBALDI.—A correspondent I
of the &Ede, writing from Turin on the 21st inst., says :
"Garibakies health engroame us all here ; it I. certain that
the alarming news which have been disseminated by several
journals were exaggerated, but it is not less certain that his
recovery is excessively slow, and that at this moment it
makes no progress. lam told that the General intends to
quit Captors very shortly. and take up his abode on the
main land, It would assuredly have been more prudent to
recommend him to goto Naples or Sicily, by which means
he would evidently have diminished his rheumatism.
Cancers, situated in the midst of the Mediterranean, is
naturally a damp place, where the mists of the sea accumu-
I late. No wonder therefore that Garibaldi is always suffer-
ing from rheumatic pains. The foot and the leg being still
inflamed, the healing and the closing of the wound are im-
possible."

Sisrarts, Masai 14.—Edhem Pacha, Minister
of Commerce, telegraphed yeeterday to the Cotton Commie.
@ion that • large supply of Fec ptian and American seed is
co its way. Tuba is much wanted. Price of cotton is 630
pieetgrace re cantor. The agitation about the poll tar on
the oh motions'. The day Wore yesterday a dim-
riot was got up by the low class of Greeks and
catholic, 'gaunt the Jews, on the usual pretext that •
Christian boy had been murdered. The Jews were pro-
tected by the English, Turks, and a few Greek merchants,
until the authorities arrived from the Turk tows, when order
was rapidly restored and a number of the rioters arrested.
The kaimakare immediately named • commission for their
trial, and all weir, sod more particularly the archbishop
and heads of the Greek community, are determined that
satisfaction shall be given to the laraelite community, and
this disgraceful superstition be repressed.
Tea ITALIAN BBIOANDeI --Official papers respect-
ing the Italian brigands have been published. From these

March, 1863, the number of brigands taken with arms in
their hands andshot, was 1,038 ; killed in fighting, 2,413 ;

THE MUTINY AND Low OF LIFE AT BLACIWALL.
—The circumstances attending the late terrible outbreak
amongst the cam of the Peruvian skip of war Aries
were fiaally investigated by Yr. J. Humphreys, the Middle-
sex coroner, yesterday evening& at the town-hall, Poplar.
A good deal of additional evidence was takes. Oliva wee
then called in by the coroner's officer, and was identified by
Mena as the roan that;bayoutted Callejaa. He gave the
name Emmanuel Oliva, and said be was 20 years of age,
and was • soldier. Upon being cautioned in the usual
minter and being askedif he bad any statement to make
with reference to the charge against him, he said, I *ever
killed Callejlia." The coroner then summed up, ad having
gone through the volumicous depositions, said that there
was • marked difference between the cases of the deceased
soldiers, Simon Garcia and Pablo Vasquez, and that of
Francisco Calleju. When men rose npin opea mutiny spinet
an offioer legally entitled to command, it was perfectly law-
ful for him torepel the attack and restore order by force, and
anyone obeying his orders would not be criminally liable
for any life that might be sacrificed in the collision. If the
force used were ezesesive, then of course the penmen unduly
violent would be responsible. In this instance there were
40 or Warmed men to be repressed by only • handful of
seamen, and in his opinion the verdict should be one of
justifiable homicide in the cases of Vasquee and Garcia. In
the case of Callejas, however, it was shown that he bad
been bayonetted by • mutineer while endeavouring, through
good feeling, to save the life of • young officer, lie was not
killed in remiatial lawful itetbority, but the reveres, and the
man that bayonetted him was clearly criminally responsible
for his death. Whether it was ore of wilful Menke or of
manslaughter it would be for the jury to may. The jury,
after • Wog deliberatioe, returned a verdict of mm-
slaughter aping Emmaamel Oliva in the case of
and of jaatabable homicide is those of Garcia &Cm:dna&
