FItANCE.

The Debats has the following on the subjeat of the
treaty cf commerce just entered into between France
and Piedmont

"Called to power with the rnia4ion of repairing the ma-
terial disasters, which were immense, of re-establishing
calm is minds agitated by the saturnalia of 1848, and of
founding a new political order of things, based on the
charter which King Charles Albert gave to Piedmont,
the Minist;y. presided over by M. d'Azeglio, has de-
►oted itself for several years to that frightful task
with a courage, a talent, a .firmness, and a moderation
which have often merited success, and always public es-
teem. Succeeding to a frightful and decisive defeat, in
want of money, attacked by parties, still agitated by the
spirit'of 4i. Maaziei, a pray to insurrection as home,
and to the exigencies' of a foreign conqueror, it was
nevertheless able by degrees to establish order, to restore
credit, to place the kingdom again in an honourable
and respected situation, and all that without violence
and without departing from ideas of order and of
moderation. Whilst around it vanished all the
imaginary conquests of 1848, whilst so many
constitutions fell by turns, it has known how to
establish the constitutional and representative regime in
Piedmont, and :o establish it on bases of justice, honour,
and liberty, which we may hope are now solid. In the
midst of the wreck of so many illusions and hopes those
who have not yet lost all faith in a wise and limited
liberty, those who still believe that without it there is
no true order nor dignity possible for nations, will
find in the example now given by Piedmont a legi-
timate reason for persisting in their belief. Let
Italy, in particular, turn her eyes in that direction.
Let these unhappy and senseless patriots who, in
1348, would not receive independence from the hands
of a King open their eyes to the light, let them under-
stand the terrible lesson which they received in 1848,
when they saw the Lombardian peasants, full of grati-
tude for the excellence of Austrian government, refuse
their upper,: to the liberating army, and let them know
how to render an accoent to themselves of what might,
under certain given eircurnstenees, result from the happy
contagion of a liberal, enlightened, and national Govern-
ment." _

The Pattie has the following :
" Several journals have announced that a measure re-
lative to the prefectures and snb-prefeetures was to
appear almost immediately in the Moniteur. We are
able to state that the report is unfounded. rafter
having given to the departmental administration high
salaries and Considerable attributions' the Govern-
,
• meat is anxious that the personnel of that adminis-
tration should be ' equal to its new functions. It is
with this oject that M. de. Persigny is carefilly
examining tins personnel, and he-intends to gfve all the
Deceiteary time to his investigation. We are assured
that, perhaps for the first time, solicitations on the sub-
ject, however strong they may b:, will he of no avail.
The minister wishes to make himself acquainted with the
services, the talents, and the aptitude of those employed,
and, far from the personal solicitations of prefects or
sub-prefects, or the recommendations of their families or
friends, being of any avail, we think that they will ra-
ther be unfavourable to them than otherwise. The Mi-
nister of thelnterier is firmly' resolved to improve •the
administration, and not to be influenced by any consi-
deration but the advantage of the service, of the Prince
President, and of the country."
