Our French Correspondence, \ Paris, August 9, 1849. ‘The Financial Condition of France—New Loan— ‘Sad Condition of the Cowntry—The Property of Louis Philippe—What 1s to be done with it ?— The Grand Opera—The Government acting as Manager of a Theatre, §c. §e. If we have no event to report of any great poli- ‘tical importance this week, outside the walls of the Chamber, we have at least ene remarkable circumstance to record as having occurred within them. The Minister of Finance, M. Passy, has sud- denly announced a lean of 200 millions of francs, and has accompanied the announcement by a «speech, singularly contrasted by its frankness with all the speeches to which the public have been hi- therto accustomed from Ministers of Finance, vunder all regimes, and in all countries. It appears ‘to have become a traditional privilege with these functionaries to shed over the financial landscape the hue of the rose, and to view even the most dis- astrous situations with the eye of sanguine hope. MM. Passy has departed from this tradition, and has come forward with an absence of reserve al- together remarkable, and admitted the disastrous financial condition of the country. He cannot be accused of making the slightest disguise of the difficulties of the situation, but he has not, on the other hand, exaggerated these financial embar- rassments, which every well informed person, conversant with the affaira of the public expendi- ture and revenue, has been aware of. The actual position of the finances of the country at this mo- ‘ment may be expressed in the simple and clear announcement, that the incomings of the Treasu- ry, for the present year, 1849, will be short of its outgoings by the sum of 550 millions of fraacs.— Now, as there was a deficit last year, and the year before, so there is no ground for supposing that there will not be another deficiency next year, unless extraordinarily energetic measures be taken to prevent it, and it requires no unusual amount of commercial knowledge to be aware to what, at Jast, a country or an individual must come, whose annual expenditure, regularly and continually ex- ceeds its annual income. M. Passy proposes to adopt vigorous measures to augment the incomings, and thus diminish or extinguish the deficit. What new taxes are to be imposed have not yet been announced, farther than, -re-establishing the duty on drinks, which was abolished by the late Assembly. It is well under- st that the chief expedient of the Finance Minister 1s an income tax. * But to return to the present condition of affairs. ‘The loan of two hundred millions—supposing it to ‘be conceded and obtained, which no doubt it will be—will cover two hundred millions out of five hundred and fifty millions of deficit of this year. ‘There will still be three hundred and fifty millions of francs to be provided for, by adding that amount te the floating debt, in the shape of trea- sury bills. Such are, in a few words, the cireum- stances laid before tne country and the Assembly ‘by the Minister of Finance. .Meaawhile, the reports of the commercial condi- tion of the country, which come from the manufac- turing districts, are rather more favorable. I heard, yesterday, an eminent mauufacturer and capitalist of St. Quentin declare that there was not a hand | in that plece unemployed, and that all the mts were working full time. The ac- cou Lyons are also very favorable, Still it must be acknowledged that the commerce of Pans is depressed beyond all precedent, and de- spair ia visible in every visage. The great Maga- sing, with which you are familiar at the west end ot the town, Buch as the Ville de Paris, the Villes ede France, the Trois Quartiers, the establishment an the Rue Chaussee a’Antin, ond others of the same class, are literally idle. Each of these esta blishments employs usually from 100 to 200 persons, A Sarge portion of them have been discharged, and those remain have nothing to do but cawser allthe long day. Not a soul is ever seen entering the establishments. ree much of this must be ascribed to the absence oar rel frem Paris, yet nota little is ‘to be explained by the reserve of the wealthy among the French themselves. All have coutracted theit expenditures from vague fears of changes and of positive revelution. oc) tell you, that the gene- impression among the best intormed persons here, although they are not very ready to express itis, that many bad days are «till reserved for the country, and that it has net yet seen the end nor the worst of its disasters, commercial or political; but what the next coup de theatre is likely to be, no one seems able to predict [tia most unfortunate for wade that the public, in general, cannot be bronght to regard the present state of things in eny other light than asa provisional vone; and I need not say, that while this impression prevails confidence can never revive, and without con! commerce must languish, and prosperity — be re-established my will see that a heavy fall tok place immediate- ly on the announcement of the loan. A reaction, however, has since oveurred, which is partly as- eribed to a report which is circulated that govern- ‘ment ia about to relieve itself of the responsibiluy of the Lyons railway. I mentioned this rumor in my last Bourse report, but it has since acquited much more consistency. I have inquired ia well ‘intormed quarters as ad have ascertained ‘that it is quite trne thata negotiation is in progress detween the government and some large capitalists here, who are understood to be in relation with ceertain English capitalists, for the purpose of taking Lyons line oll the hands of the government, ‘The terms are not yet settled, but it is anderat “thethey will be something of thissort. The go- vernment will relingmish jaim on one hundred fry millions alrendy expended on the line, i i the —— made of the — a of completing the line by the government engi neers. Thus, af the line should cost more in completing it than this estimates the govern ment will be nly responsible for 5 per cent ‘on the amount of the estimate, bat if it should be below this, and that the tratlic shold only pay 3 cent. veTnment mist mike ap the differ thee of 2 rer t. There is no doubt that on these terms capitalists will easily be found to wae dertake the enterprize; they will have the same ge- curity for 5 per cent on their cap tal as they would have in the funde, besides the prospect of the sur- plus proceeds of the road, on which, as | have observed, 150 millions of capital have been already expended, of which the compeny will have the benefit, [tis propoeed to grant, on these terms, 4 Jeaee of 100 years to the company [tis very pro- able that I may be able to announce, in my next, the favorable issi g pte ree — Py thie nt, you ser that the repo men- stones last wry being Seeeenys, that om would gain two millions, is incorrect. Par in winch the Treasury will benefit will be that it will be saved the oeeessity of providing tunds for completing the line. ‘The line ia at pre- sent completed to Dyon, which 1s within 30 be ques of Chalones, trom whence there is a steam com munteation to Lyons and Avignon, by the Rhone, and from Avignon the road ts open to Marseilles. When these thirty lesgues from Dijon to Chalens shall have been completed, therefore, the journey between Paris and Marseilles will be materially report of the Bourse and money market | expedited—steam power on land or water becom- ing the propelling agency through the whole line, pnfused and incorrect reports having quently circulated in the public journals on the si- tuation of the private property of the Orleans fami- ly in France, 1 think it well, once for ail, to put you ip possession of the real circumstances attend- ing it. You are aware that after the revolution of 1880, the King, being rendered incapable of heldiag proverty, independent of the crown, transferre 18 immense property to his children, except the Due d’Aumale, who, having inherited the vast ew tates of the Duc de Bourbon, wus himself almost aa wealthy as Louis Fhillege. Bat although the pro- perty was thus invested in the children, the adm nistration of it remained with the King during his life. During the 13 years that he occupied the throne manifested an insatiable desire to improve and adorn the royal palaces, which were national property, such us Vertailion, Foa- tainbleau, Amboise, and Pau. Not only were reat architectural improvements made in these, but works of art, of cousiderabie value, were obtained to adorn them. ‘The museum a Versailles alone cost an immense sum. Now, as no minister who served under Louis Philippe could he pesvailed ‘upon to apply to ty Chamberfor fuads to defray these expenses, the King appropriated his Wn private revenues to that purpose; or, to speak more correctly, he raised money for the purpose on own personal responsibility, relying, of course, on being repaid by the country, at a later period.— The King never could believe that France would retain the property in these royal palaces, leaving him to pay for it. In this situation things were when the revolution of February, 1348, came. Im mediately after the flight of is Philippe, his creditors, whose claims amounted to an alinost ine credible sum, became clamorous, aud urged their demands upon the provisional government. Some of of “the spoils,” has commenced in real earnest. , The question, what is to become ef Baden and the emuller States, and whether the supremacy of Prus- | sia is to be recognised, and what is to be the fu- | ture position of Austria, Bavaria, and the larger the members of this government were not sorry to | have a pretext tor ordermy the revenues of Louis Philippe to be seized upon, without the odium of confiscation. A commission was accordingly ap- inted to administer upon the estates of the Or- leans family, which were considered liable for Louis Philippe’s debte. liability was under- stood to extend to all the estates, except those of the Due d’Aumale; but this prince, with a spirit of generosity that does him great credit, came forward, and declared that his property should like- wise be appropriated to the payment of his father’ debts, ie revenues have been accordingly ad ministered, ever since February, by this commis g100; such sums as were considered necessary have bee from time to time, remitted to the ex- in ree ot jand, the balance being put aside for the itof the creditors, _ i Now, the question is, what is to be done with regard to the vast expenditure incurred by the King upon the royal palaces, and upon the museum at ersailles, without the sanction of the Chambers? Will France condescend to take this property and retain it at the expense of a private individual, aad, of course, without his consent; or will the ‘royal stripped of thair ornaments, and the museum of Versailles emptied, to return their con- tents to Louis Philippe, us their owner? At pre- sent all this property 1s legitimately retained by the country as a pledge for vast sums due to the creditors of Louis Philippe. When the debts shall be hquidated, it is, however, generally, supposed that a compromise will be made between the nation and the ex-King, and that a certain sum will be voted to his credit, in lieu ef the expenditure which he irregularly made upon the royal pa- laces. Such are the real facts of the case; and such will, no doubt, be the issue, if affairs go on in France as they are now doing; batif auother bouleversment takes place which should raise the red republicans and socialist party to power, the eneral impression is that the immense property of the Osage family would be immediately contis- cated. IT may mention a circumstance which will be re- ceived with Jaserens, OF many, and which is not generally known. hen the palace of Neuilly was sacked by the populace in February, 1843, the celebrated Penthiever plate was deposited there. This plate is of historic celebrity. Its value as bullion is incomparably small relatively t# its value asa work of art. It was, therefore, gravely ap- ‘hended that it would have been melied in the re which took place at Neuilly. Fortunately, however, a very inconsiderable part of it was lost The military arrived in time to save it. It was at- terwards delivered over to the care of Count Mon- talivet, who was charged by the King with the i tion of his property. were made by certain parties here, , forthe purchase of his plate, which would, of course, have fetched aa immense amount ofmoney. The King, however, could not briog himself to consent to the sale, and it was ulumate- ly lodged in the Bank of France, and such money advanced upon it as the King required. Before 1 conclide 5 hnust 5 x No the sition oO: ra ta, whic! By last, 18 cloed, The plea is, that it needs re- pr, but, in reality, there were no receipts. I ve ascertained the circumstances respecting this establishment, and, from whet I have learned, I fear that there is but little change of its re- yeuing, unless the régime be completely remodelled, It | appears that, for the last thrce or four years, the receipts, ineluding the subvention cf 600,000 or 700,000 fran received from the State, and an ex- traordinary subvention paid to it last autumn, have never come up to the expenses, the amount of which have considerably exceeded 1,600,000 francs | perannum. Now, there is.at present no prospect whatever of an augmentation of receipts, oa the one hand, or of a aincxaten of expenses on the other. ¢ managers have declared to the go- vernment that without anether subvention they cannot goon. But it seems that the grand opera is not alone in this situation. The theatre Frangais the opera comique, both of which, ind opera, are subventioned by the State, ‘@ state but little better, and it is understuod that the managers of both these establishments have inti- mated to the Minister of the Interior the impossibili- Statee, at the present moment occupies almost exclusively the whole attention of the different ca- binets of Germany. The agents of the Prussian government at all the courts of Germany have again received instructions to urge the States, in which they are accredited, to declare their adhesion to Prus- sia. The latter 1s now firmly resolved to con- voke a German Reichstag or diet, even if Austria and Bavaria should protest agaist it. The for- mal recognitien of the constitution, which places Prussia atthe head of Germany, as yet has only been declared by a few of the smaller States. To be sure, the greater part of the States had previous- ly signified their acceptance of the constitution to the Prussian government, but their acquiescence, though only conditional, was a forced one in the then existing state of things, since they were oblig- ed to lean on Ruseia for support to combat the re- volution, which was raging within their own ter. ritories. After the isurrection was suppressed, and the occupation of Western Germany by | the Prussian troops had become a fait ac- compli, such of the smaller States, which reserve, at least, a nominal pal ——— - r : independence russia, and hoped, by joinin the opposition of Austria ‘and Bavaria’ mites the Jatter, to escape the Prussian rule, withheld their recognition ot the constitution which is to esta- blish the supremacy of Prussia in Germany. In | the meantime, Saxony and Hanover, which had de- | fimtively signed « treaty to uphold the constitution, | in conjunction with Prussia, have. latterly, intlu- enced, doubtless, by Austria and Bavaria, availed themselves of the at a made in the treaty, that the legislatures of the States ure to ratity the con- etitution, for the purpose Sone ivg fresh difficul- ties to Prussia, Hanover has already proposed several alterations ef the constitution. Saxony has | unumated, that unless Austria will finally reo nise the Prussian league, it will not hold itself bound by the treaty. The result of the manifold machiaa- tions and meer w e long, become manifest. Already the dieguiee is thrown off by the different cabinets. The efforts of Austria to maintain its position at the head of the former Germanic confederation, the | strivings of Bavaria towards poranang the rank of it | , of a union between these three | is re T happen to know , gado: of going on. The minister has responded with | greatest and given no ground for sup- posing that government will come forward to their | relief. Under these circumstances, a rumor is cit- culated that the Minister of the Interior intends to propose that government itself shall take the im- mediate control of the three esiablichments, aad ca ae on, a subvention, — by = agent ponsibie managers, appointed by the } Sinte, who will lay before the government detailed | accounts of the general affsire, 1 give you this rumor as it cireulates, without at oll guaranteeing its truth, as I can scarcely believe it probable. | The tribunal of the first instance has come to a cenclusion as to the accused of the 13cn June. This tribunal bears some analogy to the Koglish nd yury. There were 109 porsens charged be- \ fore it, of whom 37 have been liberated, and 72 sentto trial. Of these 72, 33 are members of the present Chamber. Panis, Ang. 9, 1549. The Bowrse and Money Market. Having gone, at some length, in my letter winch accompanies this report, into the general financial condition of the country, and adverted necessanly to the proposed loan and the negotiation as to the chemin de fer of Lyons, I shall have little more to do than to send you the prices for the last week, since the general stagnetion of business at the Bourse, incident to this season of the year, still | continues. You will observe that a rise above 89 has occurred, which had for its cause an apticipa- tion that the finance of the Minister of Finances would have been of a more tavorable | Character.

This will, however, give rise to little speculation until the probable report of the committee on the question shall be ascertained. My next report will probably be mteresting. the prices are as under:— Thee por Cts Bow per Oe. Bank Shares seers. 0) £58 75 12.271 2 Avg 5: + b4 80 2.240 00 68 6 2272 50 « 63 80 2.272 50 ©.

The position of Prussia at the present moment is infinitely diffi- cult; but the energy displayed by the cabinet here seems equal to overcome all obstacles now in its way. I have already told you, that the agents of the Prusman government at the different German courts have agaiu been instructed to in- vite the States to jon the league formed under the eadsbip of Prussia. Their entrance now \s not atked as an unconditional one; they are free to propose terms, provided the more important aud material points of the constitution are not affected them; and it is this, principally, by which the eeian government s to gain the contideace of the emaller States, which have hitherio looked upon Prussia as the would-be dictator of Germany. ‘The differences with Saxony and Hanover it will be more easy to adjust. To Dresden one of the most able diplomatists of Prussia has just been seat for the purpose of bringing about an accemmoda- tion on the German question. Nor has the Prus- sian government neglected military measures, by whica the diplomatic negotiations are to sup. ported. The forces in the vicinity of Frankfort 4 be augmented ; the garrwon jn Mayence 8 been increased: and the prince of Prussia is to prol his stay in western Germany. On the frontier of Austria, in Suesio, a Prussian army of 20,000 men is being concentrated. Such are the dispositions made by Prussia to prepare for every contingency. _ The opening of the Chambers took place to-day in the royal palace. The king was not present in rson,but had commissioned the President of the Minit to open the Chambers im his name.

The delay of the convening of the Chambers beyond the time ribed by the con- stitution is represented in his speech to have been eceanoned in consequence of the recent revola- tionary movements. ¢ ovening of the Chambers excited but little sensation in the city.
