REPORT ON THE FRENCH BUDGET.—
LA CREASE of TEE FRENCH NAVY.

The long-expected report of the commission appointed to
examine the French Budget of 1850 has now been published
and distributed. In the estimates of ordinary expenses and
receipts, there seems to be a deficit of 47,434,435 f., and in
the extraordinary, 29,039,970 f., amounting together to
76,474,425 f., which is covered by a sum of 83,686,262 f. be-
longing to the sinking fund, leaviug a surplus of 7,211,837 f.
" This," says the reporter, after entering into the details of
the above estimates, "is the place to remark on the difference
existing between a budget which is balanced by its own
proper resources and one trimmed into equilibrium by some
extraordinary means, such as the appropriation of sums bor-
rowed from the sinking fund. The amount of the public debt
in France has increased since 1848 by 138 millions, out of
which sum the revolution of February has to account for 60
millions, and the present Government for 72 millions." The
report alludes to the just fears which the Corps Legislatif, in-
structed by experience, haveof supplementary and extraordi-
nary credits, to which recourse must only be in cases of great
and unforeseen urgency. It lays great stress on the fact that
if these methods of raising money are employed to the same
extent as heretofore, it will be impossible to reconcile such a
system with the proper operations of a sinking fund, which
must be supplied by real economy and out of the literal savings
of the State. Governments as well as private individuals,
communes, departments, or industrial undertakings, are
limited in their expenses by their means, and this considera-
tion in ordinary times must outweigh all others, even that of
apparent utility, " The Government should he satisfied as
to the impossibility of devoting 1,736,000,010 to our ordinary
expenses ; to those expenses which, once inscribed on the
budget, re urn each year and never are got rid of ; to those
expenses which discount our future, and that will become
an insurmountable obstacle to the execution of those great
works, these important improvements, which are meditated
bythe august prince who presides overthe destinies of France.
Let us confine ourselves within the limits of our yearly re-
sources; the sinking fund will then operate in the fulness of
its power, with more than 120 millions per annum ; very
soon we shoul i see our funds rise, and their price would per-
mit us to effect the conversion of the 41 per Cents., a
conversion which would procure us a reduction of 17 millions
and a half in our expenses. Will France drag herself along
from year to year wi'h her budgets peniblement equilibres,
or will she place herself in the high position worthy of her?
t is an imperious duty for the Government, as well as the
Corps Legislatif, to direct all their efforts towards the reduc-
tion of permanent expenses, otherwise they will finish by dis-
counting the future of France. In these expenses the
Ministry of War figures for a very high sum ; it absorbs the
greatest part of the disposable resources of the State—say
51 per cent. This proportion, is it not too censiderable ?"
The reporter whilst on this subject gives some in-
teresting statements with reference to the expenses of
the French navy, which include the following projects :
" Ist, The finishing of the fleet of transition by the transfor-
mation of sailing ships into auxiliary screw vessels. 2d,
The gradual creation of a fast steam fleet of 150 war vessels.
3d, The finishing of transports commenced, and the trans-
formation of a certain number of sailing frigates into steam-
transports—making a fleet of 72 transports. 4th, The con-
tinuation of the works at the port of Cherbourg, and the
creation in the four other military ports of i.raving docks
and special workshops. The whole of these great undertak-
ings represent an exp.use of 234,r92,000 fr. The information
given by the President of the Marine Section to the Council
of State leaves no doubt as to the necessity of applying steam
power to all the ships of the fleet. The experience of the
late war proved that steam-ships bad over sailing vessels an
incontestible superior ity either in combat or in operations of
diseiubarkation or transport. Tin• expense has for its object
to maintain the maritime power of France in the rank which
it ought to occupy among nations. We are convinced that
in the realisation of the work the Government will employ
evi ry aid which the progress of science each day affords.
This transformation of the fleet will be effected in 14 years
from this time, in assuring to chapters 7,8, and 9, an an-
nual dotation of about 65 millions. The number of armed
vessels is increased from 142 to 152. The number of sailors,
ou the contrary, fixed at 25,781 men, is diminished by 3,050,
showing that the number of large vessels is less congi-
derable."
It is probably the concluding part of the above report
which has inspired a correspondent of the Inclependance
Beige with the following. He says —" The Emperor has just
• dseided that the works going on at this moment in our
arsenals shall be pushed forward with such a prodigious ac-
tivity that the French fleet must number, in the course of
the year 1859, an effective of 150 screw ships of war. These
150 steam-ships of war, of great speed, aro composed of 35
• line-of-battle ships (29 will be constructed this year, and nine
• of them will be especially of superior speed to any in the Eng-
' lish navy), 45 frigates, 40 corvettes, and 30 small steamers.
Never will France have possess d so magnificent a fleet. Our

In prier to justify the Neapolitan Government for its
continued imprisonment of these MOD, and for putting
them on their trial for their lives, there should have been,
at least, prima facie evidence of their.participation in some
of the offences committed by some of those on board the
Cagliari.
The Neapolitan Government has, in effect, admitted
that mere presence on board was not of itself a sufficient
ground for the institution of ceeni4al proceedings; inas-
much as it set at lib rty seven of the passengers on the
28th August, 1857, and eleven of the crew on the 28th
October, 1857.
The Neapolitan Government must, therefore, seek ifs
justification for its conduct towards Park and Watt in
the acts charged against them in the " Atto di accuse."
These, apparently, are the following : -
1. That they were without regular passports ("ricapiti").
To this it may be sufficient to observe that it appears not
to be unusual for engineers of Sardinian steam-vessels
leaving Genoa to be without passports ; their names were
on the ship's muster-roll, and they wero in the regular
einployment of the owners of the Cagliari ; but, at all
events, the Neapolitan Government cannot infer any seri-
ous guilt from the mere want of passports.
2. The note found upon Park, alleged to have been written
by Miss White at Genoa. This note, on the face of it, pur-
ports to be addressed not to an Accomplice, but rather to
a person who was to be forced to act under constraint ; it
is neither signed nor addressed ; it was only presented to
Park when the vessel was forcibly seized by some of the
pa sengors ; and the circumstaaco that Park preserved
and trdnscribe•l it into his log-book, as his justification, is
a proof, not of his guilt, but of his innocence in relation
to it.

3. That Watt (as chief engineer) ought to have directed
the vessel's course to Tunis, and not to Ponza. This charge,
proceeding, as it does, from total ignorance of the con-
struction and navigation of steam vessels, is not worthy of
serious refutation.
4. Of participation in various
specified acts at Ponza
and at Ekapri. Of these it is sufficient to observe that, even
if they were of such a nature as to render Park and Watt
amenable to a Neapolitan tribunal in respect of their com-
mission (which we can by no means admit), we are unable
to discover that any evidence has ever been forthcoming
to prove that Park at d Watt committed any of them;
indeed, as

bmeionsat ofad

that they remained on board throughout, whereas these
acts ate charged to have been committed on shore.
For these reasons
wo are of opinion that there is no
g.rouud whatever which justifies the Neapolitan Govern-
ment in having subjected Park and Watt to this prosecu-
tion, or in having inflicted upon them, as malefactors of
the worst class, a long and inhuman imprisonment.
The Neapolitan Government, upon the capture of the
Cagliari and the arrest of all those who had ever been on
board her with their papers, was in possession of the fullest
information as to the guilt or innocence of each individual;
and we are of opinion that thereupon Park and Watt
became entitled, as a right, to immediate liberation.—We
have, 4rc.,

navy enters a phase which will remind us of the grand mara-
time epochs of Louis XIV. and Louis XVI. M. Dupay de
Lorne, director of naval stores, has re .urned from Cher-
bourg, whither he went to inform himself as to the period at
which the new docks would be ready. I believe that in ac-
cordance with the orders of Admiral Hamelin, the works are
pushed on so energetically that they will be completed in
July. At the same epoch will be launched a large steam

be Advocate and Solicitor-General to the Earl of Mahues-
bury.—(Received April 15.)
Doctors' Gammons, Aprill3, 1853.
My Lord, We are honoured with your Lordship's cora-
mands, signified in Mr. Hainnaon l's letter of the 25th
March ultimo, stating that ho was directed to transmit to
us the correspondence respecting the capture, imprison-
ment, and trial, by the Neapolitan Government, of two
British subjects, serving as engineers on board the Sardi-
nian merchant-steamer " Cagliari," together with a copy
of the indictment preferred against them, and a volume
entitled " Sulfa Prods del Cagliari," published by the Ne-
apolitan Government, and -a further volume, entitled
" Difersa del Cagliari," published by the owners of the ves-
sel ; he also stated that the proceedings in the Admiralty
Court at Naples would be sent as soon as printed.
Mr. Hammond was also pleased to request that we
would take these papers into our immediate consideration,
and report to your lordship our opinion whether the cap-
ture of the Cagliari was legal.
In obedience to your lordship's commands we have taken
these papers into consideration, and have the honour to
report—
That we have carefully perused these voluminous papers,
and have considered them in conealtation with the Attor-
ney-General, but that as we are unable to concur entirely
in the conclusion at which we believe he has arrived, we
have thought it best to express to your lordship our opin-
ion in the following Report.
In dealing with this question, ace have confined our at-
tention to the capture of the Cagliari exclusively, and in-
dependently both of the legal proceedings against that ves-
sel, which ended in her condemnation as a prize, and of
the treatment of those on board her.
We would, in the first place, invite your lordship's at-
tention to the facts preceding this capture.
The Cagliari, a S..rdiniau merchant steamer, running
between Genoa and Tunis (touching at Cagliari, in Sar-
dinia), left Genoa, on ono of her regular voyages, on the
25th of June, 1m57, with, apparently, thirty-three passen-
gers and a crew consisting of thirtytwo, anti a cargo partly
consisting of fire-arms. Whilst on the high seas on the
same evening about 25 of her passengers s eddeuly-produced
concealed arms, took forcible possession of the ship, with-
out any opposition being offered, broke bulk and plundered
arms on board, deprived the master of his authority, and
placed him, and some of the other passengers and crew,
under restraint, and forced (as is alleged) ono of the passen-
gers (Daneri, a merchant captain by profession), to navi-
gate the vessel as enactor. The Cagliari passed what was
supposed to be a squadron of British ships of war, when
the passengers and crew under restraint were more closely
watched, and kept out of sight. On the 27th of June the
Cagliari arrived at the island of Ponza, which appears to
be a fortress and prison of the Neapolitan Government; the
Sardinian colour were flying,and the pilot and captain of the
port were seized on their coming on board; the boats were
landed, an armed disembarkation took place, an attack was
made en the island, one Neapolitan officer of the garrison
killed, another wounded, the garrison overpowered, up-
wards of 300 prisoners liberated and armed, arms, ammu-
nition, and money were taken from the fortress, a Royal
Neapolitan cutter or cruizer lying in the has hour of Ponza
was boarded, plundered, one sunk, and other crimes and
excesses were committed. Some of the crew appear to have
lauded. Lorenzo Acquerono, whose name is on the ship's
muster-roll as a waiter or steward, and Cesare Cori, a pas-
senger, seem to have been wounded on shore, and brought
back to the steamer.
With this additional armed force, and with the plunder,
the Cagliari proceeded, on the night of the 27th, to the
Polica,stro. Those passengers e who had originally seized
the ship, together with the prisoners libe. sited and em-
barked at Ponza, landed in arms at Sapri early in the
morning of the 23th, and co emitted various acts of out-
rage and hostility on shore, where they were, soon after-
wards, all killed, or taken by the Neapolitan troops and
inhabitants.
The craw, acting, probably, under compulsion, appear
to have rowed the boats in which the landing at Ponza
and that at Sapri were effected. '
After landing at Sapri, the master (Sitzie) appears, after
the disembarkation, and, on the night of the 28th, to have
resumed his authority; and, with the assent of the crew,
and 11 remaining passengers (amongst whom was Daneri),
to have got under weigh, and taken a course as for Naples,
where (as he stated) it was his intention to make a detailed
relation of what had occurred to the Neapolitan Govern-
ment.
occurrences the Neapolitan Government,
During these
which bad early intelligence of the attack on Ponza, took
measures not only to check the aggression, but to pursue
and capture all these engaged in it. Some steam-frigates
were sent from Naples to Gaeta to embark troops, and
two cruizers (the Tancredi and Ettore Fieraruosca), sailing
i'company, and is search of the Cagliari (of which vessel's
iappearance and course, when last seen, the commanding
officer had previously received a description), fell in with
her on the morning of the 29th of June, on the high seas,
apparently about twelve miles west of Capri. The Cag-
!lan • was, when first seen, steering towards them; and, on
e vessel approaching, the Tancredi fired a shot, which
brought her to; the master (Sitzia) was ordered on board
I the Tancredi, with his papers,
.and the Cagliari was then
boarded and taken
possession of by an armed boat from the
I
Tancredi, and towed, by the Ettore Fieramosca in com-
pany, first to Salerno, and thence to Naples.
hien the Cagliari was brought to, i r
-- appears that she
was not taking that which it is alleged would have been
her most direct and shortest course to Naples, viz., through
the straits between Capri and the mainland (" piccolo
bocche de Capri"). Three wounded men were on board,
viz., Acquarone and Cori already mentioned, and Amil-
care Buonomo, passenger, wounded at Sapri, as he alleges,
by those who landed, on his refusal to land ; bulk was
broken, and part of the cargo (arms) missing; arms were
also found, loaded, on board ; twenty-five passengers were
missing. It was known to the captors that she had been
recently
employed in acts of piracy and unauthorised hos-
tility, and the explanations offered .by the captain were, at
all events, not such as to command implicit and immediate
credence. We must also remark that some important
ship's papers, amongst which were the certificate of
ownership, and the maritime passport, were wanting ; and
although this would not justify the capture, it would add
to the other grounds of suspicion presenting themselves to
the captors.
Giuseppe Mercurio, he was on the ship's
master-roll (a steward or waiter), appears to have landed,
and been wounded, and taken, in arms, on shore at Sapri ;
if so, he must have been missing at the capture.
Under these circumstances, and bearing in mind the
whole of the facts, we are of opinion that the Neapolitan
commanding officer was justified in taking possession of
the Cagliari, and in taking her into Naples (where she
was in fact going), in order to secure a full investigation
of what really had occurred on board. The only alterna-

THE AMERICAN HORSE TAMER.
To the Editor of The Sun.—Messrs. Tattersall received
this morning the following letter from Mr. Raroy.—Grosve-
nor-place, April 23, 1838 :

" Liverpool, 23d April, 1858.
" GENTLEIIRN,—My attention was drawn to a notice in the
Morning A dvertiser of the 22d inst., stating that Mr. Cooko
of Batt f'SCircus had exhibited my system of subduing vicious
horses, and describing his method of subjugation, which is
not that practised and taught by me.
" You are hereby authorised to pay one thousand guineas
to any man in the world who proves to you that he can
teach my system of horsemanship as practised and taught by
me without having previously received instructions directly
or indirectly from myself,

" To Messrs, Tattersall, Grosvenor-place."

Ointment and Pills.—After using these remedies for 12
weeks only, Mary Dx,m, wife of Thomas Dixon, fish-
monger, Regent-parade, Harrowgate, was entirely cured
of a bad leg of many years standing, showing ths wonderful
effect of these medicines when properly used. She had
been confined to her bed for five years, and was twice
an inmate of two different hospitals in Leeds, but with-
out obtaining the slightest relief, and was finally in-
fnrmed that she must lose her leg by amputation.
Being induced to try Holloway's Ointment and Pills,
and using them perseveringly, she averted that calamity,
and is now perfectly recovered.—Sold by all medicine
vendors throughout the world, and at Professor Hollo-

board of the Cagliari, her Sardinian national character
had been lost or suspended, at all events whilst the wrong-
doers (whoever they might be) retained actual possession
and control of her; and the circumstance that the master,
and those on board at the time of the capture, might ulti-
mately turn out to be innocent, would not, in our opinion,
render the capture illegal by international law.
We forbear from enlarging upon the serious conse-
quences which wonld, in our opinion, result to every mari-
time State, and to none more than Great Britain, from its
being held that nothing short of complete legal proof of
guilt or the actual commission of crime, at th moment of
capture, will jastify a national ship of war in capturing a
vessel under such circumstances as those in which the Cag-
liari was captured by the Tancredi. If such a doctrine is
to prevail, pirates need only obtain possession of a vessel
entitled to a flag and papers in order to secure perfect
impunity; the high seas, in place of being the secure
highway of nations, will become the asylum of wrong-
doers, and the flag and papers of any nation may be wrong-
fully used to the irremediable injury of every other.

had the British, instead of the Neapolitan coast, been the
scene of the occurrences now in qaestion, any British naval
officers, placed in the same position as the Neapolitan offi-

his duty or been guilty of an international offence by cap-
turing and bringing into port a vessel found under the
same circumstances as the Cagliari."
We are, therefoter of opinion that the capture of the
Cagliari was legal.
We must, however, add that we are unable to see any
ground whatever upon which the condemnation of the
Cagliari as prize can be supported.
