FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

From a despatch forwarded by General Pelissier
we learn that the fact of the intended armistice
was known in the Crimea on the 25th ult.
The M oniteur contains the official announce-
ment of the appointment of the widow of Admiral
Bruat to the post of " Gouvernante des enfants de
France."

The following is the exposé des motifs of the
budget of 1857, presented to the Legislative Body
yesterday :
"Gentlemen,—The Emperor has desired that the
budget for the year 1857 should be presented to you
at the beginning of your session. We in conse-
quence submit to your examination the estimate
of receipts and expenses for that year. As you
know, gentlemen, the year 1855, which has just
terminated, shows a large increase in the indirect
taxes and revenues. Thus, in spice of three insuf-
ficient harvests, and in the very midst of the sacri-
fices of a distant war, France has not interrupted for an
instant the fecund activity of her labours nor the in-
crease of her internal prosperity. Calm at home, glorious
',broad, henceforth assured of her alliances, after being
so long isolated in Europe, and confiding in the wisdi in
4* the sovereign, she even now gathers the fruit of a
policy at once firm arid loyal, generous and prudent. As
great nati.m which, after the terrible trials and pro
longed conflicts of a revolution, has at last found her
path, she has seen the sympathies of the world return to
her, and enjoyieg under the national dynasty of Napo-
leon 111. the real advantages of the new order
,he has conquered, she has at the same time
resumed without an effort the rank which belongs to
,er amongst the nations of Eerope. However, it is to
strong governments arid prudent financiers that it be-
longs net to estivate too highly the hopes of the future.
You will remark; gentlemen, that the estimate of the
receipts for the new year has been made with prudent
reserve in the law which we now submit to your appre•
ciation."

The Constitutionnel says :—" The plenipoten-
tiaries of Russia had hitherto only appeared at the
Tuileries in plain clothes, for the special reason
that, besides the state of war, the accession of
Alexander 11. has not yet been notified to the
Western Powers. Their presence at the Imperial
sitting of Monday in uniform has been generally
interpreted in the diplomatic world as a certain in-
dication of a speedy renewal of official relations be-
tween the Court of St. Petersburg and those of
France andEngiand, and consequently as a mani-
fest proof of the favourable turn the conferences of
Paris are taking!"
" Another hatch of Russian cannon," says the
Semaphore of Marseilles, " have just been landed
at the Quai de la Joliette, where they have been
the object of great curiosity. Some of the guns
which belonged to the Russian vessels are of un-
usually large calibre. Most of them bear the
.louble-headed eagle of the Czars, and many show
the marks of the balls of the allies.
