mad great celebrity-it has effected retrench-
ments, either provisional or permanent. But with
all that, it has already devoured 507 900 900 of
traordinary receipts Tor the ordinary expenses of
the State Are we at the end of extraordinary sac
rihces3 Far from il; notwithstanding the 507,-
600 900 SO expended the two years of lS4S and lS49
will leave large deficit. For lS49, according to
the admission of the late minister of finance il will
be 200 OOOO 900; and 1850, for which the budget has
been presented, is announced as being inevitably
certain to have deficit TO the amount of the whole
OF the extraordinary works, l03, 900 900, indie
pendently oi unforeseen expenses. If we do not
get out OF this system Of deficit, there will be
thing before US but bankruptcy. The change can
only be effected by policy of order to establish
confidence, and by an economy carried, at least
Tor some time to the extent OF parsimony. Public
coincidence has not yet returned. If you doubt it,
go and ask the propretors of our great manufacto-
res of machinery the Caves, the Derosne and Calls
and their rivals; inquire from them what COM
mands they receive now, in comparison with ordi-
nary times. Or will you have proof of differ
ent kind! Examine the returns of the Bank Of
France, and you will find that the discount accom-
mediation varies from 40,000,000 to 45,O00,0O0
week. Before the oath of February, it was 2OOO 00,
600. The bank ITSELF though filled with silver to
the extent Of being embarrassed with it, recoils
frqR the official payment in specie. 1t shelters
its behind the decree of the provisional govern
merN, which made its notes legal tender. Why
does it do so? Because it cannot regard the future
without uneasiness. Why, too, does not the gov
eminent constrain it to resume at once cash pay
ments Because, no doubt, the government does
not yet see six months of order well assured be-
fore it''
The same inactivity was observable at the Bourse,
November Goth, as for some days previous. The
five per cents. opened at S9f. S5c, and closed at
S9f. Doc.
The Paris correspondent of the London Globe
writes as follows on the Goth ultmo: People begin
to admit that the Legitimist society, most of
the members of which arrested Monday
night, was real affair; but it has very little i'm
for npta hat W nnifI lot
of note is implicated in it.

Of the provisional, and chief of the executive gov
eminent, who formed the ministry from February
to April last.
The Paris Epenement says:
RoME-We are assured that the government has
received accounts from Rome of serious importance.
The Pope, who had determined to leave Portii, on
the 25th instant, and to enter Rome the 25h and
who had requested M dc Corcelles to accompany
him, changed his determination learning the
recall of M de Corcelles, and the arrival of General
Paraguay d'Hilliers The Pope is said to have an
nounced, in writing, his firm determination not to
return to Rome, as long as France shall not be rep
resented near his person, except by the general
commanding the corps of occupation. He further
ntimated in his letter, that he was determined, on
his return to Rome, to break completely with the
policy of the three cardinals.
Austria and Prussia.
The Prussian Moniteur, of the 27th, publishes the
following:
The Cologne Gazette assures US, in its No. PSI,
that it has been informed, from good source, that
Austria some days since sent in a formal protest
against the convocation of the Parliament, and
threatened armed Intervention. We author
lied to state that no such protest has been made
either with or without menace Consequently it is
impossible Though the Cologne Gazette asserts the
fac) that any answer could have been sent to such
protest"
The Cologne Gazette, of the 2sth instant quotes
the Prtssian Monitet for the above refutation and
then says
sour correspondent has gathered all the nfor-
nation possible on the subject, and says Herr
Won Prokesch, the Austrian ambassador at Berlin,
received from Vienna confidential communica-
ton, or a despatch which h. read TO the Prussian
Minister for Foreign Affairs. In this communica-
ton the possibility only of formal protest limited
at in case Prussia should convoke the Parliament.
What passed in conversation between Herr
Prokesch and Baron Schleinitz they alone say.
bassador may have pointed out in perspective that,
should the formal protest limited at possible be
disregarded, Austria would then have recourse to
the sword.
''Perhaps il was thought threat would have effect.
In consequence of this, despatch sent TO Count
Bernsdorff, our ambassador at Vienna, developing
also in confidential manner the views of the Prus
sian cabinet. This is not note, note being an
official document sent direct from one cabinet TO
another In this despatch, therefore, which will be
communicated to Prince Swartzenberg it lis pointed
out, for the first time, that Austria has infrnged
upon the formal conditions Of the act of conedera-
ton by her constitution of the 9TH of December.
Prussia would continue to act as she thought fit,
and was, moreover, in a position that enabled her
calmly to await any dangers that might arise"
Prussia's sons (adds the Cologne Gazette) will
willingly meet death for the independence and ma
tionality of Germany.
