PARIS, Farrar EVSXINO.
The Moniteur returns to the subject of the qua-
lified political amnesty in the following note :
The Emperor, we said yesterday, desired to inaugurate
lie reign by benefits and acts of clemency. Each day
beholds the generous intentions of his Majesty carried
into effect in favour of persons condemned by the
nailed commissions. On the 2nd the Emperor signed, on
the proposition of the Minister of Justice, the pantos
of 290 persons transported or espelhel ; on the ith.
202 condemned men were likewise the object of
measures of clemency ; in fine, on the 6th, 46, and on the
Bth, 161, were authorised to return to their homes. In
abort, lance the prociarnation of the Empire, 702 political
prisoners have been r.atond to their families. The work
is still going ou, and submissiolie are flocking in. Pardons
or commut.thons of punishments have, besides, been lie•
corded to pretty large numbeus to persona at the !signs,'
and prisons. 10,0, by their good conduct and repentance,
have had claims to indulcence.
The pardons spoken of by the M 'Our apply
exclusively to obscure individuals. 'With the ex-
ception of M. Chavoix, the government journals
have not been able to find a single name sufficiently
distinguished to he worth publishing. It is ru-
moured that towards the end of the month no am-
nesty, without conditions, will be offered to Chan-
twofer, Lamoricidre, and the other generals.
The Moniteur contains another amnesty in favour
of all persons stow under condemnation tor offences
committed against the regulations respecting the
circulation on public roads, and against the police re•
gulationto concerning the carrying of goods.
Since his accession to the throne, the Emperor has
shown himself a great deal in public. Ile rode out
yesterday afternoon, ac .ompsnied by the Duke de
Montebello nod Count Tascher de Pagerie, and pro-
ceeded along the new 'tart of the Rue de Rivoli to
the llotelde-Ville. Ile there inspected the new
barracks now in course of construction. Ile after-
wards enteted the Rue St. Antoine, where, being
recognised, ho was greeted with cries of " Vive
l'E.motreur !" His Majesty rode home by the
Boulevards.
I hear thatt M. de Rothschild wm sent for to the
Tuileries one duty this week, and that he at first ex•
curd him.•elf, but en a second message being sent.
obeyed the command. I know not whether this
interview may have tended to produce the more con-
fident feeling which has prevailed among speculators
within the last two days.

From the above returns, it appears that the situa-
tion of the batik since last month has decidedly im-
proved. The metallic reserve has been reduc:ed in
Paris 23 millions, but increased in the branch banks
31 millions. The discount accommodation has in
creased 30 millions in Faris and 91 millions in tho
departments. The advances on railway securi-
ties have increased considerably, being 15 mil-
lions in Paris, and nearly 2 millions in the pro-
vinces. On the side of the liabilities, the notes in
circulation have increased 9 millions in Paris and 11
millions in the branch banks. The account-current

of the treasury shows an increase of St. millions.
Private aecounts-current have increased about 1 of •
million in Paris and II millions in the provinces.
The whole amount of the metallic reserve at present
is 6011 millions to 6 millions of notes in circula-
tion.
