FRANCE.
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
the contingent 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 observations:
—" The bulletin of the Gazette de France contains
the following lines under the signature of M.
Charles Gamier The army of Garibaldi con-
tains, as is known, as many officers as soldiers,
generals who have borne the cassock, the
kitchen apron, and the coachman's whip.'--As we
have the honour of being personally acquainted
with the generals of the army of South Italy, we
shall be grateful to M. Charles Gamier, if for our
information he would kindly give us the names of
those who according to his statement have borne
the kitchen apron and the coachman's whip. Whom
does he mean by it ? Let him explain. Is it Bixio,
is it Sirtori, is it Turr, is it Medici, or Cosenz ? We
await his reply."
" 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
Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, now no longer re-
cognised by the English Government."

BOURSE, March 27.—The market has been heavy,
and prices on the downward scale. Threes, for
the Accotint, opened 691. 85c., the closing rates of
the previous day, but immediately after eager
sellers appeared, and quotations retrogaded to 69f.
50c., at which they now remain. The Railway
Share Market has been similarly affected, and
quotations are generally rather lower. The follow,
ing were the last quotations :
