finances Of Russia are far from being in a -four
thccss. to DO exaggerated. 1t originated in
this way: Tho contracts for supplies were con-
Guided in Russia at prices calculated in Russian
currency. Tho supplies being delivered now.
tho contractors get at tho headquarters at
Bucharest drafts payable ut Ksheneff.
where tho Treasury Department has been
left behind for safety. II they want
to cash their drafts in Roumania
they receive gold. and naturally have to pay the
premium on it and the commission. Just as II
they had been selling Russian bank notes at tho
Berlin or Frankfort Exchange The discount
on Russian bank notes has never been less than
fifteen or twenty per cent. for the last quarter OF
n century. and 1t is natural that it should have
risen to thirty per cent. now when the country
ia inundated with new issues of paper money.
In France. things still remain quiet on the
surface: but the general uneasinoss is growing
greater every day. Az soon as the list OF the
new Projects and Mayors was published. the
Oreansts and Legitmists began to ask them
selves whether they had not been made the tool
OF the Bonapartlsts. A large number OF these
new officials are well-known Imperasts. ~ IL

the Imprisonment Of the President OF the Mu-

Don Carlos has been made the scapegoat OF
the Ultrnmontane party. III had Docn noticed
that the Oreansts and Lcgltlnists had sud
denly taken him up. and that he was consider
ably lonized in the faubourg st. German.
The Government did not make any objection.
and. Notwithstanding the old decree OF banish-
ment allowed him TO live at his wifc's residence
at Passy All ut once. when the foreign Gov
ernmcnts and newspapers had declared the last
coup dad to have been the work OF the Ultra
montana party, and when the Italian Ambassa-
dor. Gen. Cialni. had n rather sharp cxplana-
ton on that subject with Duke de Broglie and
Duke Decazes. an official declaration was put
forth that all Ultramontane demonstrations
should be rcprcssed. At the same time. the
supposed representative OF Spanish Ultrumon-
tanism received an intimation 10 uultthe French
soil. These measures seem u have satisfied
tho Italian Government. AT all events. Signor
Depretis assured the Italian Parliament that
these steps OF the new French Cabinet indicated
that no fear need be entertained of France
going IN favor OF the restoration OF the temporal
power oil the Pope.
French clerical papers. like the Union and the
Cniros. aver, however. that Don Carlos has not
been expelled. but simply left Paris at the re-
quest OF his mother. the Princess Beatrice, who
