M. La Boachere resins to transact the business of
the arrangement at Paris during his absence.

In the account winch I yesterday transmitted to
yon (Stile application to Congress fin a prolongation
of the term fur paying the contribution., 1 merely
stared the fact and the result, without entering into
those renlanations with which it ought to have been
cconstonised, or into a detail of the circumstances
which were necessary to give a frill and impartial
view of the transaction. You will see by the Paris
PdPer., which von have no doubt received to a late
doe, rho thr Preterit funds have beets falling since
the e•ooclmiots of the late Convention. and that the
discount on the new stock has been rising. There
was a consequent stagnation of business, and con-
siderable rush,. rrrrr ment in the money-market. This
change forcibly struck the Finance Minister of
France, and the French Guvertimeist in general.
Its cause they could not fail to attribute to the con-
ditions of the late Convention. They therefore
ornate,' to Mr. Baring for his opinion on the subject,
and 'lie steps that ought to be taken in consequence.
The Finance Minister represented to this eminent
banker at the same time, that, in his opinion,
lie had agreed on too short a term fur the payment
of the contributions; and that the transfereuce of so
large a sum from the mercantile circulation to the
treasury of the different Governments, in so limited
se iwrnal as hied been ■greed upon, might produce
very injurinns consequences ou the finances of
France, mill the commercial interests of Europe in
general. The French Ministry, therefore, proposed
to Nit. Raring, if lie would agree to prolong the
trim of payment, to apply to Congress to relieve
lain from the men of los engagement which stipu-
lated fur the filial discharge of the contributions in
nine months, sold to request a prolongation of the
;Wined for a few mind's more. Mr. Baring, its a
mrnirpriAl which he returned in answer to this
reinesetitation„ declared, that he had sufficient

means provided fur ausswering all dentandr„ and
that lie nits completely prepared to fulfil all his
estgagetnesita within the emulated period. lie
fully concurred, however, iu the opinion of the
French Minister of Finance, that so rapid an all.
stractiou of PO hill ge sums from the c DDDDD mercial
ir.'lll4lloll might have injurious consequences on
till the parties concerned, awl agreed in the pro-
p. iely of the proposed application to Coogress.
The result war what I yesterday mentioned. The
Allied Minister• agree to a isrolinsgation of three
mouth., and probably wall not olsject to a mouth
or two more, provided. upon consulting with Mr.
Darissg and other-, opinion is of import.
s.siee, they find such st measure adrivablr. Mr.
.113:ing is expect. ii here, tint on Saturday, but
Monday. The fall in the Frelich fuilds„ which,
aiming other twogts, has Iseen the came of this
appllcalt.•.t. lists arisen merely from • desire in

to realise their profits in as s'tort it time its pots-
