The Gazette of the 27th ult. publishes the budget

extraordinary, are set down at 1,498,240,373 reels; the
receipts ordinary and extraordinary at 1,335,921,300
reale ; and it is declared that the deficit of 162,319,073

vance of the regular mail, says:
The Superior Junta for superintending the sale of the
national and ecclesiastical property was installed yesterday.
Sales are to be made with all despatch, and there is reason
to believe that there will be a good many purchasers. The
Gazette contains a royal order to the governors of provinces,
to the effect that, in order to facilitate subscriptions to the
loan of 230,000,000 Teals authorised by the Cortes, the
acknowledgments of it shall be received In payment of pur-
chases of certain descriptions of the national property.
There is no news of insurgent bands which still hold out in
Catalonia, but they are closely pressed by the Queen's
troops, and when they shall be put down the insurrection
may be sons:dared at an end."
MADRID, JULY 31.—General Zabel& will be back

(MMON OWL OWN coansarommxv.)
PARIS, TNCRIDLY Eve,
The following news of a very favourable can,
&Mon, from Asiatic Turkey, is contained in i
despatch dated Trieste, August 1:

iscoonnta from Constantinople of the 23rd 'Wt. ono
that Schansyl, having made a diversion in Georgia wldek
brought him near Tiflis, the majority of the Russia Imps
in Asia, under General Mourawieff, *ere obliged to n.
nouneAs the attack on Kan, and make • movement to pre.
test Tiflis. Despatches from Trebisond of the 20th idle
state that the Russians have suspended their operations, sad
have confined themselves to naming governors in the villecot
which they occupy in the province of Kars. Ten pleas 0(
heavy artillery have been sent from Trebisond to the gee•
neon of Kan, the defence of which has been completed hy
16,000 armed inhabitants.

It is to be observed, however, that ,the above is,
having regard to the date, very probably nothing
more than another version of the same news aboat
Schamyes proceedings, which we have already had
in the form of rumour. Constantinople despatch"
of the 26th were received two days ago. It is pro.
bable that if anything decisive had been known oft
the 23rd, we should have had reports before this in s
more definite shape.
The Bourse has been very animated. The Beate
rose 65c., closing at 67fr. 66c. Credit Mobilier was in
greater favour than ever, and rose 40fr. In all the
railways there was a considerable improvement.
Orleans rose 22fr. 50c., Lyons and Mediterranean
20fr., and Lyons, 17fr. 60c. It was thought that be-
fore the end of the week the proportions of the loan
to which subscribers will be entitled will be mode
known.

It is probable that the interest on Treasury Bonds
will be reduced per cent. The decree is expected
to appear in to•morrow's Moniteur.
The statement in a southern journal that the Em-
peror and Empress would return to Biarritz this
year, is contradicted by the Constitulionnel, which
says the Emperor has ordered works to be executed
in the Villa Eugenie which will render it uoinhabit-
able for some time to come.

On the 26th of July last there was a considerable
gathering at Arras of members of the old republican
party, on the occasion of the inauguration of a mono-
merit to the late M. Frederic Degeorge, for many
years redacteur en chef of the Pas de Calais. M.
Degouve Denuncques, M. Lenglet, M. Ravin (of the
Siecte) and M. Gamier Pages (the ex-Member of the
Provisional Government) made speeches over the
grave. The Pas de Calais, which contained reports
of what they had said, was aimed. The seizure
has, however, now been annulled, in consequence of
private orders from the Emperor with whom M.
Degeorge had at one time intimate relations. M.
Degeorge it was who published many of the writings
of the prisoner of Ham. The Steele contains a re-
port of M. Havin's speech, in which, atter paying a
tribute to M. Degeorge's courage as a jour-
nalist in difficult times, he said, "Here,
over this tomb, I take the solemn engagement
not indeed to surpass or even equal Degeorge, but
to follow his example, and to defend liberty up to
my last hour, and I make this engagement, not only
for myself, but in the name of the redacteurs of
the journal which I have the honour to direct." The
report adds, that the speech was received with " pro-
found sensation."
