eh. accounts received from France upon the subject
of ihe nationel finarict s are still exciting the attention of
the Parisian journalists, and we may affirm that there is
here
also extreme interest manifested in the same matter.
I) spite tee exertion of the Moniteur, an admitted outlay
of 600,000 francs per diem, is somethine to startle or
depress, and the more attention is directed to it, the bet-
ter the prospect of a remedy being discovered. Many
a the reductions proposed by the Finance
9orateittee have already been rejected, and although
the
War expenses are su,ceptible of great
Curtailment hereafter, it might be considered dangerous
10 proceed too rapidly in reducing the personnel of the
army, the dischereed members of which mould have to
..c,' gradually drafted into ether emp'oyments. That
means sufficient exist to carry on the Government until
early next 3 ear, ieclu ling the payment of the dividends
on the Three per Cents , and the pensions falling due,
srenia to be proved, but it is evident that the very
ea 1
rttest efforts of the mew President must be directed to
the;e question of all questions, to the inquiry which will
rigorously pursued in all countries, viz., how much of
the
exPelefiture can for the future be " lopped off." The
example of France it is felt would support our financial
!dormers, because that country is usually held up in
gerrorent when a reduction of our establishments is ad-
vocated.
The tenor of the news from Paris upon another
butter, the probable occurrence of violent debates in
the Assembly upon the accusation brought against Ge-
neral Cavaignac, has excited some remark, but there
has been no apprehension expressed, despite the decided
;Id in the Retries. The Assembly is too favourable to
the General to diminish the chances of his election.
The steamer Severn is announced as having reached
Southampton with the mails from Mexico and the West
Indies. The amount of bullion on freight is, say
700,000 dollars or more, including the gold, but
the remittances for the Mexican dividends are
not
• yet known as being over 5,000 dollars, an
insignificant, sum after the expectations in-
dulged in the letters of Messrs. Manning find
Mackintosh,if the agents in Mexico of the English bond-
"c4cle, s. There is reason to conclude, however, that
bills, as upon former occasions, will form a portion of
these remittances.
The English Securities opened this morning much the
i!arne"as they closed yerterday, viz., at 87/ 4 for Consols,
but they have since become a little weaker upon the in-
telligetice of the fall in the French Rentes. As far as
these latter aro concerned, we may as well state our
opinion that they should not be accounted as exercising
I,°LO marked an influence upon English Stocks, for until
'469 Republican finances ate on a better basis, we cannot
expect the Rentes to be held firmly. Consols now aro

Bank Stock is firm at 188, and India Stock has

In the Foreign Market, Mexican Bonds have been
fluctuating and there is a decline in the quotations, the
range being from 204 to 204. The news received is not
liter• than that to hand by the last steamer from Halifax,
but the smallness of the amount received in cash
for the dividends is the cause of sales. Peruvian Stock
