the Propagateur de rAuterrelative to the house of Clair-
vaux, a superior employe of the department of the in-
terii ir has been obliged to give iq his resignation ? Is
it true that an agent, concerned in the money matters
of one of the three military hospitals of Paris, has been
under arrest in his apartment for more than a week for
acts of such gravity, that one of the heads of the war de-
partment, employed to inquire into the matter, has been
forced to propose sending the agent in question before a
council of war ? Is it true that another agent in a simi-
lar situation, in prison for eight months for his conduct
in Algeria, is waiting for the result of the inquiry which
his acts called forth ? Would it be found inconvenient
to publish the results of this investigation ?"

On Monday the Chamber of Deputies commenced
the discussion of the Budget. The deficiency in the
revenue is so great as to cause alarm, and unless
Algeria be abandoned, and a sweeping administrative
reform be carried out in France, it is impossible to
reduce the expenditure. On this subject the Consti-
tutionn el says—

"The discussion on the Budget furnishes fittingoppor-
tunity for examining the financial administration of the
Guizot Cabinet since its accession to office. One of she
boasts of that Ministry is to have lived so long. But
how, we shall ask—how has it employed that existence,
the longest that has ever been enjoyed by a Cabinet
since the year 1830? Where are its fruits? M. Guizot
replied to his adversaries who spoke to him of national
honour, Let us enrich ourselves.' Let us examine,
therefore, how he has employed the public wealth.
The account of our financial position will describe
it in a few figures. If we take the budgets since the
Year 1840 they present to us a series of deficits,
Which we shall submit to our readers. The deficit
of 1840 amounted to 138,000,0001., that of 1841 to
18,000,00 M., that of 1842 to 108,000,000 E, and that
of 1843 to 39,000,000 E, which make 305,000,000 f.
of deficit for those first four years of the reign
of the Guizot Cabinet. In 1844 an equilibrium be-
tween the revenue and expenditure appeared to have
been established, and a surplus of revenue over the ex-
penditure, to the amount of 1,000,000 E, was produced
in the year 1845 ; but the equilibrium of 1844 and the
surplus revenue of 1845 were produced solely by the
cancelling and carrying over of credits. Thus, we see
the deficit re-appear in the year 1846, with an increased
development. The budget of that year is not yet set-
tled, but we may calculate the deficiency at 58,000,000 E,
and we may consider ourselves fortunate that it is not
more considerable, inasmuch as the supplementary and
extraordinary credits demanded of us amount to the
enormous sum of 124,000,000 f. The deficit for the pre-
sent year is already calculated at 105,000,000 E; the
supplementary and extraordinary credits already de-
mantled amount to 108,000,000 f., independent of further
claims to be made on the Treasury between the present
period ' and the end of the year. In fine, all
that we can say of the budget for the year
1848 is, that if it be passed with even the
reductions proposed by the commission, it will leave
a deficiency to be made up above the revenue of
30,000,000 f. It remains to be seen what may be the
amount of the supplementary and extraordinary credits
which reached the sum of 124,000,0001. in the year 1346,
and 108,000,000 E already in the present year. If we add
together these series of deficits to the conclusion of the
year 1847, we shall find a gross sum of 469,000,0001.
We should remark, moreover, that from the year 1841
to the year 1847 the ordinary receipts have produced an
increase of revenue amounting to 244,000,000 E, which
were absorbed by current expenses, and which did not
prevent the deficiency from reaching the sum of
469,000,0001. We now pass to the extraordinary credits.
We find there, in the first line, public works regulated
by the Bill passed the 25th of June, 1841, amounting to
496,000,000 f. ; secondly, the public works regulated by
the Bill of the 11th of June, 1842, amounting to
901,000,000 f., after deducting the sums paid by the
railroad companies ; and this carries the amount of the
two series of public works to the sum of 1,397,000,000 f.
If we now add those 1,397,000,000 E to the
469,000,0001. forming the deficits of the budgets from
1840 to 1847, we find an aggregate amount of
1,866,000,000 E, which the present Ministry has ex-
pended over and above the receipts of the revenue, and
fas which we must provide by extraordinary measures.
We demand, do or do not these figures condemn the
present Ministry ? 1,866,000,0001. l That is more
than half the capital of our consolidated debt, if we de-
duct the sinking fund. It is thus seen that the passage
of the present Ministers has left a profound trace in our
finances. We have described our financial situation ;
let us now speak of that of the Treasury. The floating
debt will amount, on the 31st of December next, to
625,000,000 E To these must be added the advances ne-
cessary for the service of the State, which the reporter
of the budget calculates at only 50,000,000 f., but which
M. de Raineville, in a remarkable speech in the Chamber
of Deputies (just given), estimated at 140,000,0001.
Setting it down at 100,000,0001., the floating debt will
amount to 725,000,000 E The necessity for a loan is
consequently imminent, and such loan must be consider-
able, to judee from the probable deficit of the budget for
the year 1848, Such is a faithful picture of the situation
created for us by the Guizot Cabinet, after as adminis-
tration of seven years." •

The commercial distress in Paris is very great, and
is daily increasing, particularly among the shop-
keepers and operatives.
It is said that Marshal BUGEAUD has been offered
the Presidency of the Council and the Portfolio of
Minister of War.

A letter from the Secretary of the Amiens and
Abbeville Railroad Company, published in these
papers, shows that the reported explosion of the
boiler of an engine on that line was incorrect. The
engine had, fortunately, only run off the rails. The
driver had his arm broken. The passengers escaped
unhurt.

Little business was done on the Paris Bourse on
Tuesday. Prices were little more than nominal.

DEATH OF DR. LYNCII.—This distinguished ad-
vocate of sanatory reform expired yesterday at his resi-
dence in Farringdon-street, at two o'clock, of inflamma-
tion of the throat, after a few hours' illness. He was
one of the Common Councilmen of the ward of Farringdon
Without, and senior surgeon to the West London Union.
Even so late as Saturday last he enjoyed the society of
some of his friends. He was the architect of his own
fortune, and having
achieved an honourable name, he
died at the early age of 38 years. Through his life he
was the popular and eloquent advocate of progressive
measures for the reformation of abuses both in civil and
commercial affairs. His premature and unexpected death
has caused considerable sensation in the City.
ROYAL SOUTH LONDON FLORICULTURAL SOCIETY.
—Yesterday the second grand miscellaneous flower show
of the season, of the members of the above society, was
held in the Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens. The
weather was very unpropitious, but, notwithstanding, the
grounds were, very well attended. The flowers were
very tastefully arranged beneath extensive marquees and
pavilions, and consisted of the most splendid display of
roses, pinks, Cape heaths, tall cacti, pelargoniums,
ranunculuses, calceolarias, orchedaceous plants, specimen
plants, and cut flowers. The fruit and vegetables were
.also remarkably fine.
