PARIS, SUNDAY ITT-VINO.

The Moniteur does not yet publish the budget,
but the Presse (confirming my statement of yester-
day) says it shows a surplus of twenty-five millions.
The Patric alludes to the fact of a surplus,
but without mentioning the amount. I have
little doubt that twenty-five minions is the exact
sum, but it will be found to include an item of five
millions, allotted to paying off a part of the state
debt to the Bank, which appears contrary to the
usual practice under the head of expenditure. The
surplus, therefore, in ono point of view, may be
said to be only twenty millions, but sub-
stantially it amounts to the larger sum. I have
not yet seen any copy of the report accompanying
the budget, but it will be found to contain the follow-
ing passage relating to that ticklish subject " sup.
plemental credits," which have hitherto so cam-
pleteiy changed the aspect of budgets presented
before the time arrived for comparing estimates with
realities : . .

----.---
Doubtless it is searealy permissible to suppose, that the
budget of 1868 will be exempt from charge. resulting from
unforeseen calls. The natural course of human things, the
life and movement of a great people, naturally lead to some
such expenses every year. But the strictnesa with which the
estimates of the revenue have been made, and
even, we may safely say, undervalued., authorises ns to
believe that the real resources of 18.58 will suffice to cover
not only the expenses provided from the budget, but doe
the extra expenditure not now foreseen, and that thus
the surplus will be applied to its natural destination, the di-
minution of the floating debt. Last year, the report of the
budget committee of 18.57 called the serious attention of the
Emperor's government to the necessity of restricting supple-
mental credits, and confining them to rare and exceptional
eases and moderate amounts. The decree of Nov. 10, 18.56,
has shown the country that the Emperor, in his wisdom,
bad foreseen this danger, and desired to avert it.
The Pram says, in its weekly commercial
review :

Business has boon rather dull throughout the week. A
few provincial travellers have made purchased of "Paris
articles," but the movement is as yet but trilling.
It is hoped that within the first fortnight of mat SIM&
a decisive activity will be perceptible. Retail sales have
been pretty good in nouveau:is. The mild weather has led
to purchases of spring patterns already. Reports from the
provinces are not uniform. From Elbeuf, Tourcoing, and
itouboix, they are pretty good, but &deices from Lyons and St.
Etienne are not astisiactory. Badness in those town, japan•
lyaed from several causes. People are anxiously inquiring tor
the earliest indications of the coming silk crop. Fairs are
already entertained that it may be as bed as the last,
but manufacturers will not yet resign themselves to
buy any great quantity of the raw material at the
present high prices. Complaints are made of the
absence of orders from America. The merchants of New
York are frightened at the dearness of tissues. Moreonr,
there is a large quantity of foreign tissues in the American
market, which go off slowly an account of their inferior
quality, and yet they check the demand for French menu-
Lectures. It is not surprising, moreover, that foreigners
should hesitate to buy, when we madder that silks are
from thirty to thirty-five per cent. dearer than last year.

PARIS. SLTVROLT EVSNINO.
The budget for 1858 was presented to the Corps
Legialatif this afternoon. I understand that it makes
out a surplus of 25 millions, which sum is to be ap-
plied pro tanto (and it will go but a little way in-
deed) in reduction of the floating debt. The report
on the budget estimates the product of the new tax
at 14 millions.
The Empecorresided to-day at a sort of council
war, composed of all the marshals of France now
in Pans an several general officers. The eventalli-
ties of hostile operations in Algeria and China were
brought upon the tapir. Prince Napoleon attended
the council.
At the Bourse the Rente opened very firm, at a
slight advance on yesterday's prices, but business
was not animated, and some heavy sales made after
the rfponse des petites primes produced a fall. A
considerable struggle took place at the turning point
of 71, but at last that figure was fairly abandoned,
and the closing prices were 70.70 for cash, and
70.90 for account, the fall in each case being 15e
Mobilier, after having risen 10f., gave way, and
closed 2.50 lower than yesterday. There was a good
deal of fluctuation in the railway market. The
fusion between the Lyons and Mediterranean Com-
panies continues to be talked of, but supposing the
respective directors to be quite agreed among thaw
selves as to the terms, whichis not altogether certain,
it seems that the finance minister insists upon as-
twin conditions, which raise difficulties. The Medi-
terranean shares rose rapidly in the morning, and
were less influenced than other securities by the
reaction which subsequently took place in the
ltente—they closed 25L higher. Lyons rose 10d.
The closing quotations of the other lilies were nearly
the same as those of yesterday.
The funeral of Midame la hlarechale Reille, the
daughter of Marshal Massena, took place to-day IS

Paris were present. The Emperor and Priam
Jerome were represented by officers of their stag
The body was deposited in the magnificent mama-
leum erected by the Princess d'Emalitig.
The Dailylk cies and Express were seized yester
day on account of the extraordinary revelations they
contain of French duplicity in relation to Italia
affairs. The obnoxious matter, however, reproduced
at length in other London papers and in the hskl-
pend.anee Beige, has since been allowed to pus the
