taken by the Spanish ministry in the ecclesiastical
property question, and submits that Spain was not
yet prepared for a measure which the enlightened
condition of France bad rendered possibli. The re-
peal of the law which decreed the sale of eoclesim-
ticel landed property will, according to the Chnsti-
tuticaussi, effect a reconciliation between the Holy
See and Spein—a rank which excites its en-
thusiaam.

1114 ratmetary revolution which is now taking
place in Europe, occasioned by the supplies of gold
which =tinge to arrive in abundance, and by a oor-
responding comity of silver, is commented on by the
Journal des elefionnaires in the following terms :

The eerious nature of this scarcity must besdmitted, bat
not exaggerated, as has been the case. There was a time
when silver appealed aloes in circulation; gold, then rare,
was sold and pa:lamed at a premium. This alarmed no-
body. Now, today, a contrary phenomenon is witnessed.
Gold is 'Deaden; silver is rare, and the latter le now
purchased et a premium. Silver is demanded by nations
that are in west of it, and it is imported. It follows the
same law as corn or other proclaim, which is directed on
points where the demand is abundant. But money is not
eaten or mourned. Nations which purcham flys-franc
pieces for more than Ave fresco make perhaps a proilteble
investment, while we do not Sc... What are we to do?
Gold, which abounds, will butane the current coin, and we
vault content ourselves with a silver circulation sufficient to
meet mealier *apemen, in oAss of one and two franc*, in
piton of fifty sad twenty centimes, whilst • misters of gold
sad silver might be introducied. The gold coin actually in
(decollation is mflieleat for all wants. During the put year
the imports of gold amounted in bus to 276,131,706 fr., sad
in oohs to 107,672,100 fr. —together, 383,803,800(r.; whilst
the imports in bars and in coin amounted to 182,740,100 fr.
thus leaving a balance in favour of the imports of
221,063,7004. During the same period the movement in
silver wes as follows :-120,967,740fr. were imported in
bees and in min, whilst the amouat of 321,264,380 fr. was
e.p weed ; the balsam against as was therefore
200,296,640 fr.

the settlement of the expenditure incurred during the
war, which, it says, still demands from France above
80 millions per month.
