FRANCE.

(From yesterday's Moiler.)
PARIS, JAN. 21.

The Belgian government presented, the day be.
fore yesterday, to the Chamber of Representatives,
a project of law on the polio* regulations for
foreigners.
Yesterday, it laid on the President's desk another
project of law for altering the penal code. The
government proposed to take out from the body of
this project, so u to form a special law, the articles
on crimes and misdemeanours affecting international
relations. This special law was to be passed without
delay.

Pimentions have been commenced by the Belgian
government against the journals Drapeau and
Crocodile.

The Emperor has ordered an inquiry into the
condition of the victim, of the crime of January 14,
and into that of their families. A law will be pre-
sented, if occasion requires it, to the Legislative
Corps, for granting pensions to the persona needing
them. The Emperor has already sent frequent
assistance to those most distressed.

PARIS, Psi r EVENING.

The Budget for 1859, the general results of which
have boon already stated, was to-day distributed to
the members of the Corps Lf3gislatif. It appears
that of the 'surplus of forty-seven millions forty
millions will be appropriated to the reduction of
the national debt. This measure the expose des
motifs says is so important that it is the principal
feature of the new Budget, and "thus the last trios
of the crisis of 1848 will disappear from our
financial system.".

The statement that the surplus is seven millions
(instead of forty-seven) must, I presume, be under-
stood as implying that the forty millions in quas-
i tion have been first deducted. The expenses are
49,717,781 fr. more than last year. The principal
items of the augmentation are :—Ministry of War,
7,312,413 fr. ; Ministry of Marine, 7,809,421 fr.;
Public) Instruction, 2,274,780 fr.; and the depart.
ment of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works,
623,188 fr. The estimates promise an increase in
the receipts of 61,418,000 fr.

The Boone has been very much better. The an-
nouncement in the Illositeur that the Belgian jour-
nals--the Drapeou sad Orocodrils—are to be prose-
cuted has produced a very good effect, it being
thought that this government accepts this measure
as full compliance with the requisition put forth the
other day in terms which caused some alarm. The
Drapesu is a journal that nobody in France ever
hoard of till the Moaiteur brought it into notice.
It has, at most, fifty subscribers. The O'.•
codsle is, if possible, still more obscure. The
Rente rose 40c. for cult and 500. for account, closing
at 69fr. 15c. and 69fr. 35fr. Mohler rose 65fr.
Railways were all very firm, at from 10fr. to 15fr.
higher.

The Moniteur is beginning to publish addresses
from the army, promising the Emperor that in case
of the calamity of kis death they will be faithful to
his dynasty. The address* of all the regiments
that have hitherto taken pert in this demonstration
are in substance identical.

It is a very singular fact that the aressin Orsini
and his intended victim Napoleon 111, were in 1831
brother members of a society called Carboneri, which
held its meetings at Forli, in the Roman States,
where the eldest son of the King of Holland died.
The Daily News and Exprezt were again seized
to-day.
The Queen of Oode, with a omits of 40 or 50 per-
sons, arrived at the Hotel Witte at a late hour last
night from Dieppe. Her sable majesty was brought
from the railway station to the Rue Lafitte in
palanquin with eight bearers.
" On Wednesday," says the Gazette is Frames,
" four foreigners coming from Paris were arrested at
the station Longman (Somme) on the Northern
railway. One of them had a imp wound in the
forehead."

PIEDMONT.

The Piss!mates." Gamete announces the seizure
of the radical journal Barlow for having published
• letter from Paris relative to the execrable attempt
of the 14th. " This edema," says the Plistinossisas
Gassits, " is the aceomplimhnient of a duty and the
expression of the moral sentiment of the people."
Count itobilant and General Della Room, side-dir
map to the Bing, were to lam on Thom*, for
Paris, in order to congratulate the Pamperer oa his
escape.
The Paris Pays, on the authority of a letter from
Turin of the 20th, states that according to a widely
spread report the Piedmonts., government had mat
• Dote to Naples, demanding the restitution of the
Cagliari. It adds, that slicekl this news las, tow
limed, a diplomatic rupture will take plass between
the toe courts, as it is certain that the Neapolitan
government is not prepamed to yield the point.
