The article of M. DE GIRARDIN was a reply to one
written in the Pays by M. GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC.
The following are the general results of the foreign
commerce of France during 1851 :
" The general commerce of France with her colonies
and foreign powers amounted in 1851, imports and ex-
ports together, to an official value of 2,787 millions, or
an increase of 82 millions on the results of the preceding
year. Relative to the average of the five former years,
the increase is 320 millions, or 13 per cent. Calculated
according to the tariff of the actual value fixed for the
year 1851, our exchanges do not amount together but to
2,614 millions. That, compared with the above amount
of 2 784 millions, being a decrease of 173 millions, or 7
per cent. In the above official amount of 2,787 millions,
the imports stand for 1,158 millions and the exports for
1,629 millions. The value of the produce imported is less
by 16 millions, or 1 per cent., than the result of 1850;
but it exceeds by 2 millions the average result of the
quinquennial period. In the exports there is an in-
crease of 98 millions, or 6 per cent., as compared with
1850, and of 318 millions, or 24 per cent,, as compared
with the average of the five years. According to the
actual value, the total amount of produce imported
stands at 1,094 millions, instead of 1,158, and that of
e.xports at 1,520, instead of 1,629, being a difference of 6
and 7 per cent. respectively. These comparisons apply
to general commerce. As far as regards special com-
merce, the total amount of our exchanges is 2,020
millions, being 116 millions, or 6 per cent., more than in
1850, and 271 millions, or 25 per cent. more than the
average of the five preceding years. In actual value the
sum or 2,020 millions is reduced to 1,923 millions, being
a difference of 97 millions. The ensemble of special
commerce is divided into 781 millions tor imports and
1,239 millions for exports. These amounts, as compared
with the periods above mentioned of 1850 and the ave-
rage of the five years, show an increase of 10 per cent.
and 30 per cent.

general officers. On arriving at the school be was

DRE, who commands the school, afterwards presented
to the PRINCE the officers and professors, to whum he
expressed his satisfaction at the zeal and intelligence
with which they every year formed so many distin-
guished officers. The PRESIDENT then proceeded to
the exercise ground, where the pupils went through
various manceuvns with a precision which drew from
him the warmest approbation. The PRINCE, at the
conclusion of the manceuvre?, conferred the Cross of
Officer of the Legion of Honour on Chef d'Escardon
CONTEAUX, who is sub-director of the Studies ; M.
I.4FAIVRE, professor of German, and M. ALLEURE, of

In 1789, according to NECKER, there were con-
sumed in France 238 grammes of tobacco per bead,
of which the twelfth part only was smoked. At pre-
sent, the consumption is 537 grammes for each per-
son, being as much as one Russian, or two Italians,
hut three times less than a German or Dutchman, and
four times less than a Belgian. Out of these 537
grammes, 348 are smoked. It is worthy of remark
that the quantity of snuff consumed in France dimi-
nishes each year.
