LOUIS NAPoLEoN's FINANCES new cores
pondent of the New York Tribune, M. Jules LIE.
chevalier, whom the Tribune describes as "beine
attached by birth and personal connexions to the
wealthy class, but by convictions and sympatfes
to the people, of eminent ability and experience as
a journalist and writer on National Economy, long
and intimately familiar with the foreign and dorDes-
tic politics of France and himself an active paIti-
cipant in her present struggles" thus speaks OF
Louis Napoleon's money matters:
whatever respect has been felt for Louis Napo-
leon personally is rapidly disappearing, and that
from fatal cause In AL countries, and IN France
perhaps more than elsewhere, the loss of character
in respect of money matters is death to any man
exercising the public authority 1t is now ayerred
that Louis Napoleon was elected to the Presidency
with bilrs u. Exchange barring his nafr protested
in the hands of the lowest class OF usrers and that
he has saved his commercial honor emily by selling
himself to the lords Of the great eldaism of money
and stock jobbing. He has received loan of a
million and half of francs, on the engagement
that he would give to the rulers and wirepuers of
the Exchange the guarantees which they require !;
these guarantees consist in the surrender of the
electors and his influence over them into the hands
of Leon Faucher and some other supporters of
Theirs and the bankers This fact has been re-
vealed by the journals, but if had no other evil
dence of its truth should not state in positive
a manner. / have assurances ofsit from person
of the most reliable character who lives calmly
remote from the contests of the day, not involved
in any of the party questions, and in the best posi-
ton to be accurately informed on such matter.
The notorious disorder in the characters and affairs
of the other ,Napoeons--one of whom passes for
the squanderer of the fortune of Mile. Rachel, the
tragedian, comes in to render more critical the
situation of the Prince President, who is destined
to fall lower even than Louis Philippe. He holds
now only by a fragile branch to the trunk Of the
imperial dynasty"
THE FRENCH CLUBs.-The protest of the men,
beers of the French National Assembly against the
law for the suppression of clubs, is said to have
been drawn up by the celebrated Lammenais. 1t
had been signed by one hundred and fifty deputies
1t declares that the law is violation of national
right and of the constitution. Ledru Rolin, Pierre
Laroux, Pierre and Jerome Bonaparte, GARNER
Pages and F. Arago abstained from voting. Gen.
Cavaignac, Duponte de PEure, the three Fayettes,
Marie and Marrast voted against the suppression of
the clubs. The clubs had fallen into contempt.
Many were of opinion that the Government had
gone too far.
THE REPORTED MURDER OF GEN. PAEz's Sons.
Letters have been received in Boston from Mara
caibo, to the Sth of March, which state that
though Venezuela has been free from war since
the beginning of the year, confidence but slowly
returns, and trade is dull The report of the assas-
sination of Gen. Paez's by Monagas is without
doubt unfounded. The penalty Of death for politi-
cal offences has been abolished in Venezuela, for
the same reason as in France, viz: that the oft
recurring revolutions would endanger the heads of
al parties.
BErrfs;i GUiaSA.--Aeecssnfs-fse sn Defnesss6 AZ,
late the 9th ult. have been received. The Com
bined Court at Demerara opened on the 18th, of
February, wher0he new Governor, Henry Barkly,
delivered his address. Hem this it appears that
the expenses of the colony for lS4s were about
$3.50 900, leaving an arrear of $50 900, to make up
for which he recommended an excise duty on for
eign spirits. The reply of the Council was sent in
the 9Th Of March. 1t very ndepenty expressed,
and boldly censures the Governor for giving that
body no opportunity for an attempt at improving
the condition of the colony
From LAGUAYRA.-A letter, of March 22d, says:
" A French steamship from Martinique arrived yes
terday at Carupano. where also is frigate and
2Ogun brig of the same nation, to demand satisfac-
