FRENCH PAPERS.

On Tuesday, in the Chamber of Deputies,
Minister of Finance opened the Budget for the year
1822. He stated the charge for the Consolidated
Debt at 228,864,560 francs, being a diminution of
188,204 francs upon the charge under that head for
1821. The charge for the Civil List and Royal Fa-
mily is stated at 34,000,000 francs. The floating
Annuities are estimated at 10,400,000 francs, being
400,000 francs less than the disbursement of the pre-
sent year, Annuities to that amount having been ex-
tinguished. In the Pension List, the amount of which
is stated at 62,621,800 francs, a diminution has taken
place of 1,242,925 francs.—On the other hand, by
the effect of the Law of last July, there is an augmen-
tation to the amount of 1,800,000 francs, for the disi
possessed owners of Estates; but against this increase
is to be set off a saving of 1,468,574 francs from the
cessation of Annuities chargeable on the Domains
Extraordinary. The charge for the support of the
Legion of Honour is stated at 3,44)0,000 francs, and
10,000,000 francs for defraying the interest on money
deposited as securities. The expenditure under the
head of " Presidency of the Council of Ministers," is
fixed at 180,000 francs. On Ike disbursements for
the Ministry of Justice, which in 1821 amounted to
17,879,500 francs, an augmentation will be necessary,
from the addition of a seventh Chamber to the Tri-,
bunal of the First Instance in Paris. The estimate for
the Ministry for Foreign Affairs is 7,870,000 francs,
being 15,0(1) francs beyond the expenditure of 1821;
and that for the Home Department 112,085,000
francs, being an increase of 3,145,814 francs: of this
augmentation, 2,120,979 francs are put to the account
of Canals, the impiovensent of Dunkirk Harbour,
encouragement of the Fisheries, the improvement oe
the breed of Horses, and the expenses which must be
incurred by the execution of the recent Laws relative
to the Clergy; and the remainder will be appropriated
to various public works. The charge in the War
Department is 176,47'2,000 francs, being an increase
of 1,7.4,400 francs. As next year the troops are to
receive new clothing, the expenditure would have
been more considerable, but for priected savings in
the contracts for subsistence and forage. The Esti-
mate for the Marine Department is 52,980,000 francs,
being an excess of 7,020,000 francs, to be incurred
for the purpose of putting the Navy in a complete
state of repair, and enabling the Government to send
vessels to any quarter of the globe where French
commerce, or the interests of humanity, may require
protection. The charge for the Finance Department
is 138,846,880 francs, being an excess of 1,975,59$
francs, as compared with the Budget of this year.—
The sum total of the Estimate for 1822 is 889,541,340
francs, presenting, an augmentation of 7,306,066
francs. The Minister, after stating these various
charges, proceeded to detail his Ways and Means.'
He fully relied on all the resources which had proved
available for the present year: he stated the advan-
tages resulting to the Treasury from the sale of Arista
in August last, which would render it unnecessary
any longer to have recourse to the issue of extraordi-
nary securities, and had determined the Government
to pay the Becormaissannes of liquidation in money.'
The total of the Ways and Means was stated at
890,000,033 francs exceeding the presumed demands
by a sum of 458,693 francs. The Minister concluded
with congratulating the Chamber upon the highly
gratifying statement which he had thus laid before I
them. The resources of the country had been carried
to this elevated pitch without depriving the KINO of
the power of remitting 34,000,000 francs of Taxes.
\'‘ hat other Nation," he said, " besides France,
would be able, after what she had suffered, even up
to 1818, by war and other unhappy circumstances,
to present, in three years, the spectacle which she this
day affords? Her political engagements punctually
fulfilled; her territory free and tranquil; her com-
merce and indusuy increasing in activity; her Trea-
sury always full ; her securities advancing to per;
all her capital in employment—whether to acquire,
to construct, to repair, or to give an impulse to
woiks of public utility?"
On Monday the Address to the Kiva was agreed
to in Secret Committee, 174 to 88, and a Grand De-
putation was appointed to present it to his MAJESTY.
fhe Chamber adjourned on Tuesday, after directing
the printing of the Budget, without any day being
appointed for the next public sitting. In the Cham-
ber of Peers, on Tuesday, a Project respecting Sani-
tary Regulations was presented by the Minister of
the Interior, which was ordered for consideration on
Friday.--The following are further extracts:

the following details:—" 'lle corvette la Levrette,
arrived at Toulon, which left the neighbourhood of
Athens the 12th October, reports that twenty-eight
Greek vessels had defeated the Turkish fleet, and
taken fourteen ships. It is added that a Turkish ship
of the line, which was on fire, had taken refuge in
the port 01 where the crew attempted to land,
but the Greeks of Zante ran to arms upon the shore,
and drove back their enemies towards the burning
vessel. The English of the Garrison then sent as-
si t ince, and fired upon the People. The Greeks re-
garding all that were not out their side as enemies,
fired upon the English, and killed three men and
wounded an Officer. It is stated that after this affair,
in which the Greeks had the advantage, the inhabi-
tants of the Island revolted against the Garrison.—
Letters from Malta say, that the English Government
