The French Minister Of Finance has pub
Nshed second report to the Emperor on the
subject Of the French Treasury bonds, issued
for the payment Ct the promised suoysntions
to the railways. In this additional report II.
De Forcade states at length the Intentions OF
the Government az to the acceptance and ap-
T1jcaGon Of the loan The Minister may well
congratulate his master on the manner in
which this new species Of security has been
received BY the FRENCH public. The subscrip-
ticDs haTe eScesdsd the amount Of the BONDS
not 1ess than thirteen times. The French
Government, IN order to stimulate enterprise
N their Own country, had resolved to raise
sum Of 96 o00, 600, or $50 000. .G00f on their owp
guarantee of an interest OF per cent This
bonds Of the nominal val1e Of 500 francs each,
but which were to be issued at 40 francs
l1e nnmber Of bonds accordingly amounted
to 3Oo,o00. But instead Of the subscriptions
being limited By the anount required BY the
Government for the assistance OF the raiiways,
the number Of bonds applied for by the puo-
lie has exceeded four millions. Tha Govern,
Ment re quirEd sum in net value OF 1S3 Geo.
OGo fTancs, ard the subscriptions reached the
value Of 4,0o3, ,oo0,0W francs. This is one
of the most 1ema1kaale instances not only
OF the wealth and floating capital existing
in France at this moment, which perhaps,
might have bSen presumed, but also Of tho
1naE cia1 credit # the Government It IN
hultelT surpasses our own receat experience
in regard to money required for reproductive
| works in India. The late loan Of the Iudis1
doFtrnnent amounted to Is ,G00, 900, and the
suefeflFtlc1s f ere found to be some what In
| excess Of E20,000,0QD. This was takep to
| fern highly favorable INDIGESTION Of the State
| of OUT own money market. But in the pres
| ent instance .ha French Government have re-
| CURED 1esa tkan 96 ,o00, GOO, and they have re-
ceiEed E1bscrp:io ions to the amount Of ESQ.,
VuiVN. It ie commonly said th4t the French
I Government il an extTafaGau Government;
| and BIO doubt The public expenditure is much
greater noT than 1t Was during the reign Of
| Louis Philippe. But waa there ever such an
] iGetsIce Of onfdenee in the Government dur
| ing that reign? We believe that there 1s no
| PIECE dent in French history Of such an amouut
I ever having been subscribed for at any one
| tine, with TIE exception Of the loaa demsndsd
| tEo years ago for the expenses Of the Italian
! c@mpaign. Then, aleo, ESQ, ,0oo0o0 were sub
senbed, the amount required being one-fourth
| Gift DDt IN this case the subscriptions ex
| coed The demand not only four times but four
