CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, DEC. 30

The discussion of the hill relative to the pensions
of the officers promoted during the 100 days was
resumed.

After a desultory conversation between M.
Janbert (the reporter), General Lamarque, the
Minister of War, and M. Salverte, in which the
Hon. General took occasion to complain of the ne-
glect shown by the Government towards those
who had signalized themselves in the wars to
which France owed her military glory, and the pro-
digality with which croses and ribands were lavished
on those who could produce no such claims to them,
and the Minister of War defended the Administra-
tion from the imputations cast upon it, the general
discussion was declared to be closed.

The various articles enacting that officers re-
established in the ranks to which they were pro-
moted during the hundred days should be allowed,
in reckoning the time of service requisite to entitle
them to a retiring pension, to count the time since
1815, during which they have only enjoyed the
rank which they held previous to such promotion,
as having been pa=sed in the rank to which they
were then promoted, and that pensions granted to
such officers since 1815 should he subject to revision,
and to be increased to the amount to which their
superior rank would entitle them, and that the
widows and orphans of such officers as were dead
should be entitled to similar privileges, were succes-
sively adopted, and the ensemble of the Bill was
' passed by a majority of 161 against 111.
M. Thiers then brought up the report of the
Committee on the Budget. This report, which oc-
cupied two hours and a half in reading, entered into
very lengthened details on every point of political
tconomyaffected by the question under consideration.
As all the arguments and statements of the Hon.
Deputy will be reproduced when the report is
brought under discussion, it will be sufficient at this
moment to give the results of the labours of the
Committee. The budget, as proposed by Govern-
ment, consists of the following items, as constituting
the ordinary expenses :-
1. The public debt 1r.345,451,517
2. Dotations to the Chambers, the Civil List,
and the Legion of Honour 4,602,417
3. Reimbursements, premiums 49,989,445
4. General services of the Ministers 444,724,800
5. Expenses of collection 118,211,833

Total Fr. 955,980,011
From this the Committee propose the following re-
duc,ions in the estimates of the various departments
of Government. The salaries of all the Ministers
are reduced to 80,000 f. each, except that the 'Mini-
sters for Foreign Affairs and of the Interior are al-
lowed an additional 20,000 f. for expences of enter.
tainments. In the department of the Minister of
Justice, the number of Coors Royales will be dimi-
nished. The amount of the reductions in the Mini-
stry will be 311,000 f., or 719,000 f. if the suggestion
of the Committee relative to the diminution of some
of the pensions be adopted. In the department of
Foreign Affairs the salary of the Ambassador at Lon-
don will be reduced from 3,000,000 f. to 2L0,000f.;
that at Vienna, from 230,000 f. to 200,000 f.;

those of Rome and Madrid to 100,000 francs. Se-
veral of the Embassies will be entirely suppressed.
The total of thee reductions will come to 582,300 f.

In the department of Public Instruction and Wor-
ship, 904,7171. In that of the Minister of
the Interior the only reduction proposed is 40,0001.
in some of the salaries and appointments. In that
of ►he Minister of Commerce and Public Works,
the reductions in the office of the Ponts et
Chaussees, the stud houses, the prefectures, and
other divisions, will amount to 1,336,6111. In the
War Department, the only diminutions that can be
made are in the number of men, the works on the
fortresses, the provision and ammunition, and in the
staff. In this latter branch the present number of
General Officers is so great, that the Committee
proposes a clause, enacting that not more than one
vacancy in three that may occur shall be filled up.
These reduction will be 3,051,000 f. In the marine,
reductions in the armaments, the works and the staff,
to the amount of 1,556,000 f. In the department
of the Finances, the Board of Lottery will be sup-
pressed. In the Court of Accounts, the receivers-''
general, the paymasters, and the deputy-collectors,
will be reduced, making a saving of 2,469,0541.
Thus the total amount of reductions, taking all the
departments together, will be 20,659,082 f., reducing
the budget to 954,320,230 f. for ordinary expenses,
independent of the 2,800,000 f. for the completion
of the fortifications.

The report was ordered to be taken into consi-
deration after the decision, of the civil list.—Ad-

jotuned.

Extract of a letter from Rimini, dated the 18th
inst. :—" The Cardinal Albani has arrived here as
legate a latere, invested with extraordinary powers
for the Government of the Legations. Wishing,
before he entered upon the duties of his office, to
know the extent of the forces placed at his disposal,
he desired Colonel Bentiveglio to have his troops
reviewed in his Eminence's presence, and then to
deliver over to him the muster-rolls. They amounted
to 3,400 men, of whom 600 were without uniforms;
and the Colonel reported that the desertions were
not less than eight or ten a-day, the recruits from
Rome not being sufficient to supply the vacancies
thus made. It is imagined that the Cardinal, in
order to obtain the acknowledgment of the Pope's
authority in these provinces, will be compelled to
temporize with the opposition, who are every where
ready to resist with energy the Papal troops. The
obstinate resistance displayed by the Bolognese
against the forces which threaten them excites asto-
nishment. At all events the legations are lost to the
Holy See: they will either establish an independent
Government, or become subject to Austria."
The Diario di Roma of the 17th instant, contains
a Papal Edict, dated the 15th, and countersigned
Bernetti, strongly censuring the non-adoption of the
new code of criminal proceedings in Bologna (men-
tioned in the Message,' of the 9th instant), annull-
ing the proclamation of the Judges and Advocates
by which the Courts were closed, ordering the im-
mediate resumption of judicial proceedings in the
new form, and authorizing the Pro-Legate of Ferrara
to nominate provisionally a new President and six
Judges of the Court of Appeal, in the event of those
now in office continuing refractory.
The Berlin State Gazette of the 24th instant, an-
nounces the arrival of the Prince and Princess Albert
of Prussia in that capital from the Hague, and of
Prince William from Cologne. No new cases of
cholera occurred on the 23d. Prussian Four per

Cent:, on the same day were 931; ditto Five per
Cents., 1822, English Loan, 1001.
The Austrian Observer of the 21st instant, states
the number of persons attacked by the cholera at
Praf,oie, since its first breaking out to December 15,
was fifty-six, of whom twenty-two had died. At
Vienna there were two new cases on the 20th. Me-
talliques, Five per Cents. Dec. 20, were 85 2-sths ;
ditto Four per Cents., 75k.
The Nuremburg Correspondent of the 24th in-
stant, contains the following, dated Hnnover, Dec.
13:-" We also have now a political Gazette, which
had hitherto been entirely wanting to us, so that
we were obliged to seek our foreign news in the
Cassel or Hamburg Papers. The Editor of this
Journal is AI. Pertz, a man of talent and extensive
learning. Here, as well as at Brunswick, the late
ordinance of the German net relative to the liberty
of the Press has been officially published, whilst no-
thing of the kind has yet been done in the Electo-
rate of Hesse, where the power of enacting such
ordinances seems to be entrusted to the Diet by the
Hessian States."

The Odessa Journal, in giving an account of the
funeral s rvice for Count Capo d'l-tria, adds, with
much naivete-" This illustrious man belonged not
to Greece alone, but also to Russia, as it is well
proved by his conduct."
We have received a file of the Corfu Gazelles
up to the 3d instant, but they contain no intelli-
gence of interest.
