PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

The Marini' de Nloustier is appointed Ambassador
to Prussia, in place or tho Baron de Varennes, who
has been created a Senator. _ _ _

A decree in this morning's Ifwiiteur appoints M.
Ducos to be Minister of Wur during the indisposition
of Marshal do St. Arnaud.

A decree by the Emperor appoints the opening
of the Exhibition of Industry of all Nations for the
Ist of May, ISM, and directs its close in the Sep-
tember following.
There was a good feeling displayed on the Bourse
to-day, and the national securities would decidedly
have advanced but for an article in the nor.-official
portion of the ..Ifu.;:eur, which Wit; attributed to the
Emperors own p, ii. Thu 'three per Cent. Reales
closed at 81f. 10c. for cash, and 81f. 20c. fur the ac-
count; the Four-and-a-llalf per Cents. at 104 f. 30c.
for cash, and IGlr. 50e. for the account; and Bank
Stock at 2,750 f. both for money and the settlement.
Railway shares were again gu.ed, and Western and
Rouen and Havre advanced as much as ten francs a
Blume, and nest of the whet., hem two to five francs
The IfoiilLar cor tains one of those articles which
now supply the place of miniNterial statements in
parliament. The subject is the budget, which, it is
announced, will be presented to the Corps Legislatif
in cqui/itrio. Thirty-four millions of expenditure,
th'iught necessary by ministers for the public service,
have Men struck off by the Emperor in person during
the recent secret discussions in the Council of State
at the Tuileries. It is more than doubtful, the article
says, whether such a reduction could have been
obtained by the old parliamentary method of discuss-
ing th, budget ; nt lelst., the past offers no parallel
example. This observation is perfectly just. It is
certain that no responsible minister could continue
to hold office after an independent House of Com-
mons had prow )unced an opini in that a budget pre-
sented Ly him with a large deficit might safely and
propecrly ha so remodelled as to show tio de-
ficit at all. The above are the only facts to
bo extracted from oar columns of argument

in favour of the present system of managing the pub-
lic finances. No disclosures arc made as to the prin-
ciple upon which this wondrous economy has been
effected, and no reference is made to any single item
of the redactions. The public are informed that ex-
cellent reasons were not wanting in (scour of every
one of the es!imates ultimately struck out, but that
they were all over-ruled by the determination of the
Emperor to send the budget to the Corps LegMAU
without a deficit.

The u; cide of Prinee Camerata has been followed
by another immediately connected with it. I men-
tioned that rumour attributed his laying violent
hands upon himself to an affair of the heart, in which
Mademoiselle Marthe, the actress, was concerned. I
have since heard this contradicted, and that the
young young count's resolution to destroy him-
self was taken in coLsequente cf heavy losses
at the Bourse. However this may be, his family
encouraged the idea that Aldine. Murtha was the ex-
citing cause of his death. She was at llavre
at the time, but was immediately sent for to
Paris. Arrived there, M. Boudrot, an officer
of jus'ice, called upon her, and demanded the
restitution of a casket of jewels belonging to
some of the Count's relations, and supposed to be in
her possession. Mdlle. Murthc, lam informed, de-
nied all knowledge of the jewels, but the application
had such an effect upon her mind that she suffocated
herself with lighted charcoal in the course of the
night.
From the monthly returns of the Bank of France
it appears that the metallic reserve has fallen off 11
millions in Paris, and increased 7 millions in the
branch banks. The discount accommodation has
decreased considerably, being not less than WI mil-
lions in the Paris establishment, and 16 millions iu the
departments. The advances on French public secu-
rities have declined 5,► millions in Paris, and upwards
of one million in the branch-banks. The advances on
railway shares have fallen off one million in
Paris, and about a 1 of a million in the provinces
On the side of the liabilities, the notes in circula-
tion have decreased of a million in Paris, and
nearly tivo millions in the branch banks. The ac-
count-current of the treasury has declined 181
millions. Private accounts-current have fallen off
101 millions in Paris, and not altogether a quarter of
a million in the provinces. The whole amount of
the metallic reserve is now 194 millions to 6651
millions of notes in circulation.
