PR IVA PE CORRESPONDENCE.

Pants, Nov. 16.--Some of the English journals having lately as-
serted that the King (Louis Philip) had placed large sums in the Eng-
lish funds, I am enabled, on authority, to deny that there exists the
slightest ground for that assertion.
The Stock Market has been lively to-day. The Five per Cents,
which opened at 95f 30c, have closed at 95f 50e. The Three per Cents
opened at 6-if 55c ; the last price was GM sc. The Renter Perpetuelles
opened at 52j and closed at 536.
A species of joy has reigned on 'Change throughout the day—" Belle
Bourse has given place to the triste expression of despondency which,
for many weeks,had been that of the speculators. The report of this day
has been that Gen.Sebastiani is to go at once to the Foreign department,
and that Marshal Soult is to be the Minister of War. This latter ap-
pointment would give satisfaction to the Army, of which the Due de
Dalmatie is the natural Chief, while it would be no departure from the
principle of moderation, which appears to be the leading one of the pre-
sent government. The Marshal can fight in time of war (yea, even after
hostilities have ceased), and he can be devout in time of peace, as a ci-
vilian, or even as a churchman.• The discussion of the Civil List in
the Chamber will interest you from its coincidence with the debates
on a similar subject in your Parliament. The late government
was desperately extravagant. That which has succeeded it must
be the direct reverse, if popularity and permanence be•desirable
objects with it. The call for economy is loud and incessant, and
must be complied with, not merely from necessity, to repair 11
the injured finances of the covotry, but to gratify the taste of the na-
tion, whose ruling passion is at this day avarice. Ido not mean dis-1
honourable and reprehensible thirst of gain, forwarded by all means,
but a perpetual anxiety to accumulate by saving as well as acquirement.
The foreigner who would not become an economist in France is a lost
man ; for no where in the world is its principle so strongly enforced on
him by example. The accounts received from Spain are contradictory.
The Parisian volunteers are said to have suffered considerably. The
names of two of the Englishmen (reported to be killed) have been men-
tioned to me; but, as I cannot vouch for the truth of the report, I shall
withhold them for the present.

CHAMBER OF Iri"--'UTIRS, Nov. 15.
M. Casimir Perrier, the President, took the Chair at one o'clock,
when M. Dumont de St. Priest was alled to the tribune, for the purpose
of developing his itions for the reduction of public salaries.
M. Dumont said he would be at a loss to conceive how a budget
of 1,000,000,000 francs could be extorted from the country in time of
peace ; did not the history of the last fifteen years prove that the fallen
government could exist only by prodigality ? In a government founded
on general interest such abuses cannot be tolerated. The King we
have chosen is a guarantee that their repetition is not to be
dreaded. The former government had ordered, in the year
1816, a retrenchment on every pension and salary, but this was to
be a temporary measure, resorted to in order to pay the invasion ex-
penses. It had one inconvenience for it affected even those of 500
trans. It will be considered advisable, I trust, to make the measure
I propose permanent, and salaries under 2,400 franca, which are
scarcely necessary to procure the necessaries of life, must suffer no re-
duction ; but I wish all those exceeding that amount to undergo a re-
trenchment, namely, those from 2,400 to 3,000 of one tenth, from
10,000 to 15,000 one.fitth, from 15,000 to 20,000 one-fourth, from
0,000 and upwards of one-third.
M. Merilhou, Minister of the Public Instruction, said, that neither'
he nor his colleagues were opposed to AI Dumont's proposition. AU
were convinced of the necessity of economising in their departments;
they would do so ; but he thought this was not the moment to examine
the question, which would find its proper place in the discussion of
the budget.
M. Dumeylet supported M. Merilhou's motion. He also was of opt-
nion that all sinecures and useless employments should be suppressed.
Their destruction must be for us the Dekreda est Carthage.
Vauguyon voted for the taking into consideration of the pro.
position.
Al. Duchatel voted against it.
M. Thil supported the proposition, and differed with M. Dumont on
several points. He thought that the large salaries, such as those of
Ministers, Directors, Generals, Marshals of France, Cardinals, Bishops,
Archbishops, Councillors of State, Prefects, Attorneys-General, Presi-
dents, and Councillors of the Court of Caseation and Accounts, should
alone support any retrenchment•
After a desultory discussion between Messrs. Tracy. Dumont, and
others, tile proposition was adjourned to the debates on the budget.
hafitte, President of the Council, in the name of the Government,
proposed several modifications in the mode of levying and collecting the
direct taxes of the country, for the purpose of establishing a more per.
feet equality of the burdens of the State than that arising from the sys-
tem at present in use.
The object of the proposed plan is to substitute the mode of repard-
tion by districts, a capitation tax, which would affect persons of all
buts, except the indigent officers of the army and navy, and the reran.
gees residing in the country. The result would be an increase on the
gross amount of the taxes; but, on the other hand, ft would be benefi-
cial, inasmuch as it would introduce a moat equal system of taxation,
and take in many who had heretofore paid no taxes. The projet de tel
presented by M. Lafitte, consisted of 24 articles.
The discussion then opened on the supplementary credit of 85 milli-
ons, called for by the Government to defray the extraordinary expences
of 11129.
Al Colonel Paixhans thought that the chamber should give the
country a proof of its determination to introduce economy in every
branch of the Administration, by reducing the credit asked for to 60
millions

Al. C. DUPIN supported the motion. He thought that the time was
come to withdraw the troops from Greece, ead.merely leave in the Le.
sant a squadron capable of protecting the French commerce, although
piracy had entirely disappeared in those seas. The Spaniards and Poe. '
tugnese who had thrown themselves on the hospitality of France should
be relieved, but not assisted in their plans of invasion-The expedition of
Algiers likewise met M. Dupin's apptobstion. The My, refusing to give
satisfaction, deserved to be chastised. The amount of his treasury was
wady exaggerated, and this gave rise to en unfounded actuation of de-
lapidation. AI. Dupin (after passing an encomium on the beraism dis-
played in the African war by the French army and navy, declared it
his opinion that thia conquest should not be abandoned by France. He
then reverted to the expenses incurred by the removal of the Egyptian
monuments to France, which Ipti:arroved of. One of these obelisks
(said he) might be suitably near the Louvre, where it would
commemorate the events of our late Revolution, and another on the
place of the Champs Elysees, where the late Government intended to
raise a statue to Louis XV. one of the most unworthy of our Kings.
Unisson Duperron having called for the communication of the
protocol relative to the loans made to the Greek Government, to deter.
mine his vote.
M. Sebastiani, Minister of Marine, said that this treaty had not
received its accomplishment in consequence of the refusal of Prince
Leopold, and was not binding on any of the parties. He then made
some observation on the expeditions of the Mores and Algiers. He li
blamed that against Madagascar. It was ruinous for the colony of
Bourbon which derived so many advantages from its intercourse with
that island. On his arrival at the Ministry, he (M. &) gave orders to
stop the effusion of blood, and to re-establish the former amicable re-
lations with the natives of Madagascar. H. Sebastian' then reverted to
tits expenses incurred for the carriage of the Egyptian monuments,
which he hoped the Chamber would approve IA
M. Odier objected to the last expenses, because General fiebestiani
hod not stated what would be their amount. With reseed to the TN*.
Mify of the Cassaba, the investigation ordered to be made by General
Clause! completely cleared the three administrators whose integrity
bad been so wantonly impeached. (M. (Mier here read the proms ver-

Mortiteur

hl. Lafitte thought that the Chamber could not refuse the 300,000
francs for the expense of carriage of the Egyptian monuments. They
were incurred, and should be covered.

Annisson having insisted on the presentation of the protocol,
M. Lafitte stated that a loan of 60 millions had certainly been agreed
to by the Three Powers, but that the political combinations then in
progress having failed, the loan was not concluded.
M. Salverte also called for the production of this protocol.
M. Sebastian) repeated the explanations presented by M. Lafitte, and
stated that the 500,000 francs sent to the Greek government, were not
paid in consequence of any treaty, or loan, but as a succour.
Gen. Demaraty said he could not vote that sum, without being sure
that France was not bound to pay its share of the 60 millions.
M. Lafitte said that France had contracted no such engagement, since
the treaty had not been carried into operation.
M. Mauguin said, that these expenses having been incurred, it was
but just that they should be covered. He then reverted to the lame
expose of the exterior situation of France. offered by the Minister
of Foreign Affairs on Saturday last. M. Mason had omitted to an-
swer his (M. Blauguin's) inquiries concerning the policy of the French
Cabinet towards Spain and Belgium. Should the Ministry defer any
longer giving these explanations, he (M. Mauguin) would be obliged
to call for them in a few days.
General Demarcay, and others, still insisting on the communication
of the protocol.
M. Lafitte said that it was not advisable to produce the treaty. which
had for its object the raising of Prince Leopold to the throne of Greece.
The credit of 500,000 fronts was then voted by an immense majority.
• I remember admiring greatly, and being much edified, a few years
since, at seeing this distinguished warrior marching in the procession of
the Fate Dieu. When will his ancient opponent, the Duke of Welling.
ton, evince such versatility, by marching under the orders of the Arch.bishop of Canterbury ? For my own part, I despair of witnessing it.

FRONTIEROr SPAIN.

BAYONNE, Nov. la—lids horning M M. Sancho and (semi:, meat.
bees of the Spanish Constitudonal Junta, quitted this city for Lembo,
`seder to have an interview with General Mina, and consult with him
upon what course should be adopted in the present difficult and violent
position to which the French Government had reduced the Spanish
patriots. At. le Baron Dalian, our sub.prefect, had previously sent 1
notes to several of the patriot chiefs inviting them to attend at his of
lice, for the purpose of receiving important orders, but not one of the
Spanish patriots obeyed this summons ; they are waiting for the arrival
of Gen. Mina at Bayonne, which they positivelpstate will take place to.
morrow, and the object of his journey is a conference with the sab-prefect.
Colonel Valdes is at present at Saint Esprit, in the department of the
Lando; bis corps is scattered about in the environs of Pau. An ex.
traordinary courier passed through this place for Madrid at ten o'clock
at night. He was the bearer to the Spanish Government of informs.
don of the measure adopted by the French Cabinet, for the purpose of
forcing the Spanish refugees to return into the interior of France, and
placing them in depots, where they will be supplied with the provision
usually given to prisoners. It is not improbable that the Sub-prefect will
be obliged to resort to force, in order to make some of the Spanish chiefs
quit Bayonne. There is a report here that Gen. Vigo entered Spain on
the Bth of November, and that be has joined Gurrea with the intention
of marching upon Saragossa) It is also stated that the patriots of the
Eastern Pyrenees intended to cross the frontiers on the 9th, and that
they had formed a plan with Yip and Gurrea to march in one body
upon the capital of Arragon.

(From the Journal du Commerce.)
The declaration in the Sitting of the Chamber of Saturday, by the
Minister fur Foreign Affair, produced on 'Change that day a consider.
able rise upon the Royal Spanish Roues, an effect which must have
been expected.
