LONDON, THURSDAY, NOV. 21, 1861.

M. FOULD is, of course, the man of the hour in
France—he stands at the Treasury of France in
regard to Finance, much as M'CLELLAN does by
the Potomac in regard to Secession—all eyes turn
to him. Whether his financial genius can effect
more than the military genius of the American,
remains to be seen. Both seem to be estopped
from action by the doings of their predecessors:
As the soldier finds that BUCHANAN and LINCOLN
between them allowed Secession to arm to an
extent, which compels the General to be content
with holding his own ; so M. FOULD may find,
that the ten years of Imperial extravagance, and
the shape that extravagance has taken, will com-
pletely checkmate him.
Where shall he begin his reductions ? What-
ever branch of expenditure he selects, he will raise
up a formidable host of malcontents. Possibly
disbandment of eighty or a hundred thousand
soldiers may create least disturbance—that number
may be found glad of a furlough, but to maintain
the authority or influence of France in Europe the
army must be kept ready for action. Hence the
most expensive part—the officers and equipments
of every regiment—must be fully kept up; the
board and wages of the men will be saved,
but the full salaries of the officers will remain,
and the costly artillery probably be undimi-
nished. Anything like compulsory disbandment
would displease the body which placed the
EMPEROR on the throne. That, of course, would
never do. The elect of the coup de-etat may not
touch a hair of a pretorian's head.
If M. POULD looks to the other departments, to
any one we mean which has employed labour in
aceordance with the Socialistic views of the EMPE-
EOR, what can he do. With bread dearer than for
many years, he cannot dismiss the workmen with-
out raising the most dreaded of Parisian cries.
Indeed, we have just now at home a specimen of
what difficulty a Government finds in giving up
unprofitable expenditure. We have found that we
were paying nearly a million a-year for Educa-
tion, through a system y taught a
fourth of the children any useful knowledge of the
three elements of education, We propose not to
stop the expenditure, but to require that the work
shall be done for which the money is paid_ana\
instantly there is a perfect hubbub of Government
payees through the lanclamorously asserting a
d,
vested right in payments for doing the thing the
country does not wan t ! M. FouLD will find this
yet more in France, if he proposes to stop
the Government expenditure in public works,
in shipbuilding, or in anything which has fcd
great numbers by employment which now seems to
be unprofitable. We wish the new Minister success,
but we fear be has difficult material to work.
Already the Minister of the Marine declares that
he cannot reduce his expenditure a single centime.
No guarantee, therefore, is to be given for Euro-
pean peace on the side of the French navy ; yet
this is of all the extravagancies of the Empire the
greatest extravagance, and the worst cause of ap-
prehension to Europe.
N. FOULD relies on the effect of freer, more
