In the account which I yesterday transmitted to
you of the application to Congress for a prolongation
of the term for paying the contributions, I merely
stated li e fact and the result, without entering into
those explanations with whit% it ought to have been
accompanied, or into a detail of, the circumstances
which were necessary iii-AieaVell and impartial
view of the tf aosactino. Yea./ see by the Paris
Papers, that the French Fonds have been felling
strict th, cnuckenlou of the lose Coeuresett, and that
the diverra "on the bow Stock has been tig. There
Was a consequent stagnation of busineu, and con-
•itterable einhairassment in the money-market. This
change forcibly strut k the Finance Minister of France
sod the French Government in general. Its cause
they could not fail to attribute to the conditions of
the tale Convention. They therefore applied to Mr.
Bating for his opinion oe the subject, and the steps
.skit ought to be taken in consequence. The Finance
Minister represented to this eminent hanker at the
loamy time, that, in his opinion, he had speed on too
short a term for the payment of the contributions ;
and that the transference of so large a sum from the
mercantile circulation to the Treasury of the different
Governments, in so limited a period as had been
agreed upon, might produce very injurious conse-
quences on the finances of France, and the commer-
cial interests of Europe in general. The French
Idinistry, therefore, proposed to Mr. Baring, it he
would agree to prolong the term of payment, to
apply to Congress to relieve him from the part of his
engagement which stipulated for the 6ual discharge
of the contributions in nine months, and to re-
quest a prolongation of the period fir a few months
more. Mr. Baring, in a !Remodel. which he re.
turned in answer to this representation, declared that
he had sufficient means provided for answering all
demands, and that lie was completely prepared to
fulfil all his engagements within the stipulated pe.
riod. lie fully concurred, however, in the opinion
of the French Minister of Finance, that so rapid an
abstraction of so large sums from the commercial cir-
culation might have injurious consequences on all the
parties concerned, and agreed in the propriety of the
proposed application to Congress. The result was
that the Allied Mioisters agree to a prolongation of
three months, and probably will not object to a month
or two more, provided, upon consulting with Mr.
Baring and others, whose opinion is of importance,
they find such a measure advisable. lire-Baring is
espected here, not on Saturday, but Monday. The
fall in the French Funds, which, among other things,
has been the cause of this application, has arisen
merely from a desire iii the holders of Omniem
(as we would call it) to realize their profits in as
short a time us possible, and the consequent great
quantity of stock brought into market, without s
proportional increase in the number• of bayera ; aid
from no apprehended insecurity either in the. Con.
tractors or the French Government. The Treaty or
Declaration of Alliance between the five Powers,
I which is to wind op the great drama in which the
fate of France has been so deeply involved, is said to
have received the signature of Ministers, and to have
been gem off to Paris and Loudon for ratification in
the beginning of this week.
