French Credit.

We are now in possession of most of the
data requisite for fixing the auOunt OF in
debit pdness which France has incurred,
owing to the events of the last nine months.
VI. Theirs estimates the war expenditure at
six hundred millions OF dollars the deficit
in the revenue, owing to the disturbance of
trade and the impossibility Of collection, at
three hundred and twenty six millions, and
the cost of suppressng the revolt of the
commune at eighty-seven millions. in all
$l,Ol300O,OOO When to this is added one
thousand millions of dollars, to be raised to
pay the German war indemnity, we have
the very respectable addition to the public
obligations Of France since July, 1870, Of
$2,0l3,000, 900. AT the beginning of 1870, the
principal and interest of the French nation
al debt amounted to $1,000 100000; and we
may confidently reckon that by the time
the loans necessary to pay the indemnity
and other outstanding liabilities have been
issued, the principal aud interest OF the pub
lie debt of France will have touched the
astounding sum of five thousand millions
of dollars. Yet i'll the face of this obvious
certainty. this mornings cable kilograms
announced that the loan recently placed
upon the market has been received with
special favor even in Berlin, and there is
every prospect of its being rapidly taken
up. 1t would be impossible to Imagine a
more Striking proof or the faith which the
world has i'll the elasticity OF the resources
of France than the warm reception accorded
TO her temperance as Il borrower. 1t can
hardly be doubted that this confidence
springs partly from belief in the prOXimate
restoration of monarchy .-Netc York Times.
