The President of the Republic has accorded an
amnesty, by virtue of which 100 of the insurgents
of june ls4S at present detained at Belle Isle will
be set at liberty. This important fact
nounced to the assembly by the Minister of the In
terror during the course of the sitting Monday.
The credit of the amnesty is entirely due to the
President of the Republic who, had he followed his
original intentions, would have granted il without
making single exception. At eleven O'Clock ON
Sunday night he summoned to the Elyscc the cab
met ministers, together with Nj. Victor Fauche,
the procureur of the republic. He informed
them briefly, that after due consideration OF the
subject, he had to the determination of grant
ing their liberty TO the whole of the prisoners Of
Belle Isle, amounting to 200, and who it will be
remembered, were confined there in consequence
of their participation in the terrible and most
culinary nsurrection of June, ls4S. The ministers
looked dismayed at the announcement of SO bold
design. They prayed him to examine the question
still more carefully. Louis Napoleon replied that
he had already long and carefully considered the
subject; and he further said that his conviction per-
fectly agreed with those of the Project Of Police,
who had assured HIM that not the slightest peril
would result to Paris any other place from the
liberation of the men; and that, above all, he IN.
Carlier) stated that he was ready to answer with
his head for the tranquility Of the capital He,
however, consented to make exceptions
THE FINANCEs.-In the assembly, Nov. II, Nj.
Fould brought forward his expose of the state OF the
finances of the republic He showed that the total
amount of the deficit in the is 53i 900 000f,
of which 2S7 200, 000f apply to the year lS49 To
meet this dcplorable state of things, NJ Fould pro-
poses to maintain the duties portable liquors dur
ing 1850, but he stated that committee of inquiry
would be appointed to ascertain what remedies
might be applied TO the admitted vices of the pres
I ent mode of leyying these duties. He announced
| that the government had withdrawn the tax upon
income. He hoped TO be able meet the deficiency
of sixty millions which expected from this
source by savings in other departments, and by am
alteration in the mode of levyng some of the taxes
On the war budget there would be saving of eight
millions, which would be increased to sixteen mil.
| lions if the Roman expedition were recalled. On
the navy there would be dimin,ltio of seven mil
hons, and in the department of the interior a saw
| ing of two million five hundred thousand francs.
On the other hand, notifications in the registration
| laws would increase the revenue derived from that
| source by twenty one million francs The altera-
ton in the post Office without adding TO the rate of
postage, would produce, he calculated, seven mil
| lions. An augmentation OF receipts might also be
| expected from modification of the law relative
| to patents; and, lastly, reduction which would be
made in the budget for extraordinary public works
would create 50 large amount of saving would
| produce equilibrium between the receipts and
expenditures, and that without having recourse to
loan. In conclusion the minister presented six bills,
having for their object the carrying out of the plans
| which he developed in the course OF his speech.
