PARIS, THURSDAY.
"The extraordinary Budget for 1863, which has
just been presented to the Legislative Body," says
a Paris letter in the Journal de Rouen, " contains
the financial arrangements pointed out by M. Fould
in his report to the Emperor. The chapter of the
receipts contains the duties on salt and sugar. It
would, however, result from positive assurances
emanating from the administration of the finances
itself, that the proposition of those taxes does not
imply the firm resolution on the part of the Go-
vernment to adopt them. They stand in the
Budget to form the equilibrium, leaving it to the
Legislative Body to find measures which would
allow the withdrawal of the projected taxes.
For salt, for instance, the amount which it is
hoped to realise is 33 millions ; if that sum can be
obtained in another way, or if a saving to that
amount can be effected in the Budget of the Army
or of Public Works, the Finance Administration
would accept the proposition. The idea therefore
entertained is, that the reduction of 30,000 men in
thicontingent in active service is kept in some mea-
sure in reserve, in case of an absolute refusal rela-
tive to the salt duty."
The Siecle publishes the subjoined observatimis:

the following lines under the signature of M.

" The Chevalier Ramirez, ex-Consul-General of
his late Majesty the dethroned King of Naples, has,"
says the Malta Observer," received intimation from
the local Government to haul down the flag of his
deposed Sovereign. We wonder at the toleration
of the authorities in having so long allowed the
Chev. Ramirez to hoist ex officio the flag of the

BOURSE, March 27.—The market has been heavy,
and prices on the downward scale. Threes, for
the Account, opened 69f. 85c., the closing rates of
the previous day, but immediately after eager
sellers appeared, and quotations retrogaded to 69f.

quotations are generally rather lower. The follow-

and 16th. A band of peasants were, on a given
signal, to enter the town. The signal was, in fact,
given, but patrols of military surrounded and arres-
ted the authors of the conspiracy, whose object was
to deliver the prisons and pillage the shops.
Numerous arrests were made ; among others two
barristers, M. Boudouris, ex-deputy, and Dr. Soudas.
At Nauplia 900 malefactors, and at Negropont 250,
have been either taken or killed. It was the sol-

liberation of the galley-slaves. The revolt is

ITALY.
The following is taken from a Naples letter dated
he 22d :—" The fete of Victor Emmanuel was cele-
brated with every demonstration of joy. The city
was illuminated as well as all the public establish-
ments. ATe Deuin with full orchestra was per-

[brined in St. Francisco di Paolo, in presence of the

principal authorities. Tho Government at Turin
is now busy de7ising further improvements for this
part of Italy, and I am assured on good authority
that in the provinces the public work for roads,
___ .

bridges, and railways, will give occupation and food

to all who will labour ; for which the account of thin

year 1862 reports an outlay or near five millions of
_ ___

lire. Of course the drain on the Treasury is heavy
and gives great uneasiness, but it is to be hoped the
sale of the rich church property and beni demaniali
will soon more than remedy this grievous evil.
Garibaldi's fete was even more glorious than that
of the King. The hymn of the great hero was called
for twelve times at the Opera by a crowded
audience, whose applause deafened me for the time.
San Carlo was brilliantly illuminated on the occa-
sisal; and the performance gave general satisfaction,
Particularly the ballet of ' John of Procida,' which
had never been allowed et Naples on account of its
liberal and patriotic display. The ballet of
mello' is also much admired, both from its furnacr
prohibition and the various national emotions it
recalls. There is a report of Garibaldi coming here
soon, to organise the society of rifle, shooters, but
many flatter themselves that he will remain here
in quite a different and higher capacity. The de-
devoted affection felt for the General here is beyond
description, and far too demonstrative for the
noble and single-hearted hero, whose love of peace-
ful enjoyments is too well known to require expres-

Another Naples letter contains the following :
" General Franzini, the military commandant of
the province of Avellino and the district of Nola,
has just had his command extended to the districts
of Bovino, in the Capitanate; and Melfi, in the Ba-
silicate. He will thus direct the pursuit against
the 130 brigands forming the bands of Crocco, Cop-
pa, Caruso, and Chiavone, at the same time that he
continues to watch the 15 brigands, the remnants of
the bands of Cipriano, La Gala, Miseria, and Z ap-

patore,whichremain in the mountains of Summium,

under the orders of the last-named chief. Avenati
replaces Della Chiesa, and Regis will for the present
hold the command of Foggia, as well as Bari.
He arrived at Foggia this morning. To those who
ask how a handful of malefactqrs can thus hold
their ground, notwithstanding the energetic atti-
tude of the national guard and a cordon of cara-
bineers, the answer is easy. This same Crocco
was the chief of a band under the Bourbons, and
defied all the efforts :of the royal troops from
1848 to 1860. The other chiefs—Morra, Pipolo,
and Sallarico—also did the same.
A Turin letter of the 24th says :—" As Baron
Ricasoli was absent from Turin, it was impossible
to realise the idea of electing him to the pre-
sidentship of the Chamber, an effective pre-
sident being indispensable at the present
moment. M. Tecchio, who is a Venetian, is
held in high esteem, and belongs to the same
political party as M. Ratazzi, whose personal
friend he is. The majority was less than on
Monday last. It is natural enough to see a portion
of the late majority yield to its old sympathies in
personal questions. M. Ratazzi will have to fight
another battle on the subject of the provisional
twelfths (liberty to collect the taxes for two or
three months as may be agreed to) the Budget not
being yet voted. It seems likely, however, that on
that question he will have as great a majority as in
his first battle. All the Ministers and Secretaries-
General have been re- elected without opposition.
The college of Aosta has replaced M. Cerutti, now
Minister at the Hague, by M. Berti, Secretary-
General of the Ministry of Commerce, a dis-
tinguished author and professor, 7,v19 was elected
unanimously. I mention this election as a decisive
• answer to those who represented the Valley of
Aosta as tyrannised over by the Italian Govern-
-B_s ment."
