Ths'eacisnt and close connection be.
tween the banking houses Of LATTE, Of
Paris, and Cults l. Co., Of London, who
were instrosted with The wealth Of the
highest and richest mobiles 10 Eoglaod,
had brought into their hands an immense
capital belonging to English travellers in
France aud Italy. Many Of the travellers
had settled in those countries. leaving
their money in La6tts's banda It was
the common calculation that fifty thous-
aud Euglishmsu were living in France,
and that il each were to spend but ten
francs day, fifteen millions Of francs :
month, and one hundred and eighty mil
lions yesrs Of English gold would b
spent 10 France. It is evident that If
ons'third Of those people, or even fewer,
were 70 leave their funds in Lsitss's hands,
it would make up . capital far beyond
the need Of his banking business, and 30
bis own capital might be untouched. But
in order to make it lucrative, Latte had
loaned it On mortgages Of every sort, had
invested it in factories, had bought real
estate, forests, ETC., SO that it was NO lon.
ger Of use in bis business, but the foreign
capital served for this operations. The
July revolution alarmed most Of tho En.
glish iu France; they departed, and drew
their money from the banker. This emf
grafton became stronger. every day, and
emp.isd the portfolios and chests Of the
house. For the first time. the credi. Of
tie mightiest French banking house WAS
shaken, and their embarrassment WAS no.
torious. Then tho new King, Louis PHI
lippe. came to the help Of his friend La.
Cite, who had greatly contributed to his
elevation, and. bought Of him tho part Of
the forest Of St. German, which be owned,
for the sum Of nine millions Of francs.
Even this help, however, vas not needed,
for the storm soon blew over.
