FRANCE.

PARIS, FaIDAT, 5.30 p tr.
The press and club laws are of course the subject of
general comment in the press and in public and pri-
vete circles. Unfavourable contrasts are drawn be-
tween M. Bunches conduct as • in:nister of Louis
Napoleon and the course that be pursced when, in
opposition, he joinei in M. 0. names impeachment
of the Guild ministry. Nor does M. Barrot him-
self escape blame for voting, as he did yesterdiy, for
the urgency of repression not necessitated by any
extraordinary circumstance.
The Constautionisel is silent, though we know, from
the speech made by M. Vero*, its proprietor, at the
ranting of journalist', hew hostile he is to that law, by
which the government intend to gag the press. Nor
is the conduct of the other journals less remarkable.
The Assemble. Nationale falls foul of MM. Pascal Do-
prat, Cremieux, and Bac, seemingly forgetting that by
abusing these defenders of the people's liberties they
are approving the very projects of law that met with
their disapprobation the day before.
In the Chamber to-day the bill on stamps was
under debate, without leading to any result of
importance.
It appears from the returns of the Bank of France,
that the metallic reserve proceeds in its augment itio•,
being this week 31 millions more in Paris and 1
million more in the provinces. The discount accom-
modation his decreased about f of million in
Paris, and advanced about 1 million in the country,
the amount of the former being 32,396,2341 r., and
of the latter 65,036,919 fr. The protested bills are
about 80,00M0fr. lies in l'aris, and 26,000 fr. less in the
provinces; the former amounting to 1,402,8694., and
the latter to 1,48,631 fr. On the side of the liabili-
ties, the notes in circulation have diminished about /
of a million in Paris, and increased not quite of a
mfilia• in the branch brinks. The account-current of
the treasury has declined 21 millions, the account at
present being 87,284.860 fr. Private accounts-current
have increased in Paris 51 millions, whilst in the
oountiy they have fallen off about i a million ; the
amount of the former being 81,774,454 fr., and of the
latter 23,835,3291 r. The whole amount of the me-
tallic mares at }Resent is 482 millions to 467 millions
of notes in circulation.

MEXICAN DEBT.

In the accounts from Mexico remind by the Iliber-
nia steamer, it appears that the minister of finance
had presented to Congress a new plan for the settle-
ment of the home and foreign debt of the republic,
and which he prayed might be entered upon before
any other measure. The substance is as follows:
I. The government will proceed to liquidate all the public
debt of the nation, internal and external, fizing its consum-
mation at the earliest possible pereed. It will forthwith
verify its total amount, excluding all creditors who do not
present their claims within a given period.
2. The government will make a general arrangement of
both debts on the followitg bass:
" That the capital of bath debts shall be reduced to
110,000,000 dols.
"That this capital shall bear interest of not mere than 3

per cent. per annum.
Th tt this arrangement be effected with the consent of
the creditors "
3. The government will proses i to make those retrench-
ments and araelkratiens which it may see convenient, both
as respects public disbursements, as in the direction and admi-
nistration of all the sources of revenue.
4. The government wilt assure itself for as long a period as
possible, by a scrupulous public administration, an effective
annual income of 1,600,000 dole.; and, moreover, the neces-
sary funds to pay the interest of the debt with the mac reli-
gious punctuality.
6. For the objects contemplated by this act, the govern-
ment will apply the indemnity owing to the republic by the
United States, and all its present revenuer.
8. The government will immediately establish a eyeless of
direct or indirect taxation, so that the product may cover the
deficiency which may remain after it has been reduced to the
lowest figure possible.
7. The government restrictions shall bees follow,:
"It shall discharge no credit with any particular funds or
wild the general revenue, separately from the arrangement
made with all the creditors of the treasury.
" It shall create no public office, dispose of no public fano-
' tine, and assign no higher salary than that provided by the
law.
" It shall not farm out any portion of the present revenue,
nor of that which may be created by the present act.
" It shall not pay a higher interest than °Behalf per cent.
monthly, and this in race other case than for sums actually re-
mind in specie."

Rad landlords must reduce the rents. They are trying to
evade it, to put eft the evil day, and to lead you astray. They
have called a meeting to be held at Ennisoorthy, on Median;
day, the Mk inst., and will ask you to attend and shout for
protection. The landlords want to keep up the present high
rents, while you have anything to pay them, and therefore
seek for the corn laws again, that they may grind the tenants
- heretofore. Farmers, do not bs fools. Think of the rents
your forefathers have paid. Make the landlords give you
cheap land and security ut tenure, to enable you to live, and
not be husbaosliog you with the corn laws, which have been
roPealed for ever. Come, then to the meeting and shout
I for cheap land, tenant right, and protection from bad land-
lords."

parole himself, and gays: " Yee, I know what you are

ben connected with the proesedings of that body,
namely, the secession of Dr. Gray,-peepeletor of the
.Froesisse's Journal, and of his brother, Mr. Wilms
Gray, on the ground of the dangerous responsibility
which arise. from the system of arganiestion sew
fleetly adopted by the League. I have alluded sere
than epos to the anxiety entertained by a large por-
tion of the Irish public ss to the strict legality of the
rules which veto originally framed by the Tenet
Leapt. The delay in obtaining the opinions of
counsel :upon them, and in publishing them in their
Ilnallyamendsd form, wee protracted until the last few
days, and i: is new wide:A, not only from the
extent of that delay, but from the account of the
matter given in the official minute. of the League.
that the opinions which have been published were
only obtained after a aeries of " nibbling.," and that
counsel were induced to define as nearly as they mild
the extreme verge of legality fur the new organisa-

goes to the railroad station at Boulogne to take his

The desire of the President of the Republic to put

GOVERNMENT PROSECUTIONS AGAINST

BUILDING LOTTERIES.

SHEFFIELD, FRIDAY.
In the early part of last year some parties who
were anxious to dispose of a lot of unprofitable houses in
Mancherer, known as "the fisrough-buiiiling,," not meet-
ing r.adily with a purchaser, adopted the expedient of
putting th- property up in a lottery to subscribers of onn
guinea each. Tnough the amount at which the property
was valued is the prospectusa of the scheme wu more than
double Cs real worth. the subscriptions flowed in so rapidly
that before the day tilted for the drawing of the lottery, all
the shares were disposed of. The success which attended
this speculation led to a number of other schemes of the
same et,racter beicg started in Manchester, Birmingham,
Sheffield, Leeds, &e. In Sheffield, • young man, named
Bridges, got up a scheme for the disposal, in 6,000 shares, of
one guinea each, of some houses iu Suffolk.road, the real
value of which was little more than 2,6001. The scheme
rt.cc,eded beyond expectation, and was ((Mowed by
no less than twenty others in Sheffield alone, the sums to be
subscribed •eryhig in amount from 2001. to 17,0001. The
principal of these )et undrawn Is a " Second distribution of
property" by Mr. Bridges, in 17,600 shares of a guinea
each. Fur the sum thus subscribed the winners are to receive
leasehold property worth about 9,0001. These fraudulent and
illegal s,hi.m.s have at length increased an greatly in num-
ber as to attract the attention of government, and orders
have frets hotted by the li.irds of the Treasury with a view
to their suppressio.i. Mr. Bridges has bees selected as the
party against whom proceedings should be taken in this
out/id, an,. application was made to the Sheffiell bench of
ciagiseratea on Saturday last to grant a summons against
him as • rogue and vagabond.
Mr. T. W. Rodger, solicitor, in asking the application,
said he had incised his inatractions from the Lotus
of the Treasury. Hie applicati4a was made under the
42ed Oeo. 111., c 119, which, in addition to penalties
against parties taking part la lotteries, rendered a
person keeping an office for the sale of lottery tickets
liable, at the suit of the Attorney-General, to a penalty of
6001. By another clause it was enacted, that where proceed-
ings had not been taken by the Attorney-General to recover
the penalty, the party offending might be brought before
tie magistrates as a rogue and vagabond, and punished as
each. It was a matter otpablie notoriety that for some time
