FRANCE.

The Moniteur announces that from to-morrow the
closing prices of the Five and Three per Cents. and
of Bank Shares are to be transmitted to Tours each
evening by electric telegraph, as has been for some
time done on the Rouen and Northern lines.
On the intelligence arriving of the death of the
Queen of the Belgians, Colonel Bacchiochi, orderly
officer to the President of the Republic, immediately
proceeded to the residence of M. Firmin Rogier, en-
voy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of
Belgium, to bear to him the compliments of con-
dolence of the President. M. Firmin Rogier was
received yesterday by the President of the Republic.
M. Goudchaux, Minister of Finance under the
Provisional Government, has addressed the following
letter to the Journal des Debats

" Paris, 15th October.

" Sir,--I believe that I have proved by my silence
on all occasions that Ido not like to occupy the
public with what is personal to me. The first article
of the Debats of yesterday obliges me, however, to
act differently. I read in the fourth column of the
first page To the citiz:n Goudchaux was sent the
coupe the Diamant,' drawn by ilfaneeuvre and Avare
—for one hundred and fifty days, at 25f.,
3,750f.' That is completely inexact. (I do not
say false in order not tol fail in politeness.) I was
twice charged with the functions of Minister
of Finance. The first time was the 25th of
February, 1848 ; I only remained in the post eight
days, that is to say, whilst Paris was unpaved, in
consequence of the barricades, and at that time I
made use of no carriage as will readily be supposed.
The second time was after the journees of June,
1848. I remained in office foal. months. At my
arrival I found a carriage (belonging to the Court)
which I immediately sent back, and I hired at my
own cost a little one-horse coup% I paid for it with
my own money during the four months of my minis-
try. I have the receipts still. Since the quotation
which concerns me causes to fall on me the accusa-
tion of rapacity and avarice, permit me, Sir, not to
confine myself to saying that I made no use of a
carriage to which I had no right, but that neither
during my first nor my second passage in the Minis-
try of France did I receive the salary to which I was
entitled as minister, nor indemnity of any kind."
M. Napoleon maparte, representative of the
people, has addressed a letter to the editor of the
Revue des Deux illondes, to correct certain statements
releive to the Bonaparte family, made by the Count
de Montalivet in his recent article in that periodical
on the civil list of King Louis Philippe. M. Bona-
parte says he is anxious to "throw light on what M.
de .Montalivet has said respecting his father," and on
" his own relations with the Government of July ;"
and he makes the following assertions :—ln 1845 he
obtained permission to " pay a visit to Paris on pri-
vate business, but at the end of three months was
ordered by the Minister of the Interior to leave
within eight days ; and it was only by the friendly
intervention of Admiral Mackau, Minister of Ma-
rine, who had served under his father, that he was
allowed to remain a few days longer. During his
stay, he asked permission to visit his cousin, the
President of the Republic, at Ham, but was refused.
In 1846, he endeavoured to obtain leave for his brother,
who was seriously ill, to be sent to a watering place
of the Pyrenees, as recommended by his physician,
but the Government would not allow it, and some
months after his brother died in Italy. In April,
1847, his father petitioned the Chambers to be al-
lowed to return to France; the Chamber referred the
petition to the Ministers, and the Ministers only
allowed his father and himself a temporary per-
mission to enter France ; they had, consequently,
he says, no legal protection, and were at the dis-
position of the Minister of the Interior. The
Government of Louis Philippe, M. Bonaparte asserts,
always refused to present a Bill for putting an end to
the proscription of his family ; but he admits that it
was less severe as regarded their demands on the state.
In 1815, his father, he says, lost his fortune, and a
small inheritance he bad obtained from one of his sisters
was confiscated, though all the eminent advocates of
the time condemned the confiscation. In 1831, M. Ca-
simir Perier, admitting that injustice had been com mit-
ted, showed a disposition to repair it ; but after that time
every demand was without effect. The tribunals which
were applied to, declared themselves without jurisdic-
tion. At last the Government consented to prepare a
Bill, when the revolution of February broke out. This
Bill decided nothing as to the amount of the sum to
be granted, but admitted the principle of an annuity,
as an indemnity for what M. Bonaparte calls the
" indisputable rights" of his father, and " the spoila-
tions made by the restoration." To obtain this Bill,
he remarks, it required eighteen years efforts ; and
he adds—

" I see nothing in all that which resembles in any
way an act of munificence on the part of the King.
It was an affair between the State and a private
individual, such as arises every day, and the Chambers
would have decided on it. It is true that, instead of
showing itself hostile, as it had previously done, the
Ministry of 1840 was favourable. That is all the
truth with the most scrupulous exactitude."

With respect to the conduct of the Bonapartes towards
the Orleans family, M. Napoleon Bonaparte says that
in 1815 the Emperor, of his own free will, accorded a
pension of 400,000 f. to the mother of Louis Philippe ;
in 1850, the French Republic, under the presidency
of Louis Napoleon, recognised the dowry of 300,000 f.
de rente of the Duchess d'Orleans. (M. Bonaparte
says that he abstained from voting.) In 1850, he
proposed to put an end to the exile of all the Bourbon
families. M. Bonaparte concludes by saying
that, although he has found it necessary to place
facts 'in their real light, in contradiction to M.
de Montalivet, he is not animated with any ma-
levolent feeling towards the Orleans family.
M. de Montalivet has published a reply to the
letter. He observes that it does not deny any one of
the facts he had advanced as a proof of the generous
sentiments of the King Louis Philippe towards the
princes of the Bonaparte family. He says that M.
Bonaparte would have given himself the double ad-
vantage of being just and able if he had shown more
respect, if not gratitude, for the memory of Louis
Philippe. He declares that though M. Bonaparte
may refuse to admit, history will not—that the late
King acted generously in allowing, contrary to the
prescriptions of the law, members of the proscribed
Bonaparte family on more than one occasion to
enter France • in pardoning the armed revolt of a
nephew of the Emperor ; in restoring liberty to
another nephew of the Emperor in a foreign
country (the payment of this nephew's debts by the
late King, to rescue him from gaol is here referred
to); and in the King's offering to M. Napoleon's
father his co-operation in procuring him an allowance
from the country. As to the ordering away from
France of M. Napoleon Bonaparte, M. de Montalivet
intimates that it was in consequence of his having
formed a liaison with extreme political parties. With
reference to M. Bonaparte's remarks on what the Em-
peror and himself had done for the Orleans family,
M. de Montalivet recommends him not to institute a
comparison which could be advantageous neither to
the Emperor nor himself. But he says that the me-
mories of Napoleon and Louis Philippe cannot be
placed in hostility one to another, for " their great-
ness of a nature so different will meet in history
without shock or combat. Drawn together, on the
contrary, in their triumphs and reverses by a fatal
conformity, they both had, after their fall, implac-
able but powerful detractors against the justice of the
future."
