“The Financial Embarressments of the Eu- ropean wers. (From the Londou timos, Oct 7.] PP ac can beno aor er pot of the eaceptionnl Precarious state of Europe than the almost uni- ‘vorsal Gnancial embarrassmonts of the continental re With the exceptioa of Holland, whose udget for 1352 displays a surplus of upwards of ‘three million florins over the actual expenditure, and thiscountry, where the public revenue hds un- dei ‘the largest amount of reductions without diminishing the resources of the State, it may be doubted whether there be any government in Eu- rope not living beyond its m: ; and although the ~world is at peace, with no extraordinary causes to -exhaustthe public purse, except the dread of revo- dation or passion for vast industrial spe- culations, the revenues of foreign nations are everywhere strained to the highest pitch of Pe pig and continual appeals are made to credit to support a structure which rests upon this unsoundfoundation. Thi: ve of things is com- mon to the most opposite for government and the most distinct interests. If we remomber right- ly, it was the French republic that began the Series of loans which have followed each other with a rapidity only known before in the height of war, and then only known to the people of this country, who backed the bills of every class of their allies. ‘The Revolution of 1848 fouad Fraace in a position ¢ on relying on she continuance of e peoegeeiey 1e enjoyed for the precedit ten years. hen that prosperity was abruptly in terrupted the liquidation ot her >utstanding en- gagements could enly be met, and was met only in part, by an enormous extrsvrdinary contribution, @ loan as soon as the credit of the republic was somewhat restored, and a cous:ant augmentation of the floating debt, which is still going on. France ‘was followed by Russia, and, in spite of Mr. Cob- den, the Russian loan has proved the only one of these rosent speculations which found much favor with the capit: 8 of shis country, because its object was definite, and i's amount small in com- parison to the resources of the empire. The no- gotiation of that loan was, in fact, to the Russian government, more an object of convenience than of necessity. The lesser “tates, which had been actively engaged in war, Sardinia by her own folly, and Denmark by the fully of her assailants, were the next cendidates tor relief, and their wants were likewise supplied on not uafavoradle terms. ‘The Pope was compelled, ou nis return to Rome, to throw himeelf on the mercy of the Jews, and 0b- tained with difficulty a sum suflicient to buy up the spurious notes of the Roman republic, and to put a few bajoccht in circulaticn in Lue Holy flung away thirty wilions of dolfars on an absurd bravado; and though her finances are stillia @ better condition than those ot many of her neigh- There, Frown the care with which they had been ad- ministered in former years. the efliciensy of her army, the value-of her paper currency, and thecon- tinuance of her public works, depend mainly on the credit she may find either at home or abroad. Aus- tria had been laboring throug) out the present cen- tury with all the evils of tinwcial embarrassment— an inadequate revenue, a vicious and depreciated currency, and @ system of tuxacion at once oppres- sive to the people and unproductive to the State. ‘The convulsion of 1848, which imposed upon her tho necessity of enormous military efforts in Italy, ‘Hungery, and at home, found her in this state. It is 8 g that means were found at allto por- form all that has been required of ger, or that her ministers have chosen to undertake. But somehow or other the thing was done, and the consequence that eight millions sterling are now urgently re- quired to carry on the service of the Empire, though ‘in spite of the exertions of tac Finance Department and the Viensa bankers, not much more than half this money is at present furthooming. Many circumstances have couspired to facilitate these financial operations, which would have ap- ared impossible at any former poriod Money as been abundant during ‘he greater part of the time, at least since the continent recovered from the first shock of the revuiution, and the first dread of general war. The monied interest is so clesely united in all parte of Europe by the intercourse of a long peace, that although she borrowers eonsist of every ra government on the continent they may be said to bavk with the same firm; an the amount.of capital eugaged in this manner is already so large, that the icuding Louses by whom these advances have been wade, are compolled, ia self-defence, to make further sucrifices to avoid a catastrophe by which they would be the chief suf- ferers. The same machinery is, in tact, — to the cause of liberty and tne cause of absolutism— to @ sovereign in one place, or to restore him in another; and as pecuniary resourees are the indispensable conditions of ali these undertakings, the political operations we are called upon to wit- ness, rest, in a great measure, on means of action foreign to the country in which they occur—a cir cumstance which tends (0 make governments inde- pendent of publis opinion im the countries they govern, as long as they retain any credit abroad. But though governments may borrow money, and capitalists may advance it, if these operatioas are anything more than fictitious contracts or stock-jobbing bargains, the nation itself, in whose name they are made, finds iteelf permancatly en- cumbered by these dar.gerous expedients to moet the evil of the day. Nothing is ordinarily done with more levity by a minister, or ever voted with more carclessnets by a public assembly, than the issue ofa loan, whish ecaables men to provide against their own difficulties by sssigning the chief burden of them to posterity, and so either cheating their creditors or encumbering their heirs. Bat the facility with which such transactions be conducted in our times, is one of the most alarmin, features in the case, both because it enables an encourages governments to dy» what they have wo means of doing from their positive resources, avd because it places large amounts of private moorty in jeopardy. Under ciroumstanoes of far ‘sravity taan those now impending over —— what incalculable sums bave been lost by Brit bondholders, from the rashaess and misplaced libe- rality with which loxne were advanced @ few years back to every State then struggliog for indopend- eneo.or constitutional government. The reiterated demands of the more absolute powers for money to koop up their system of military defonco against the revolution, are, on the face of them, less worthy of confidence, since they tind themselves engaged in thie struggle at atiwe when their ordinary re- ready cowpietely appropriated, and ind no means to improve their bona ible to witness this state of things, - which exists but too exteusively over the continent, without arriving at the conclusion that govern- ments, relying for their oxisvence on such extrinsic support, contain within themeo!ves a principle of destruction.

If Lord Palmerston has good reasons for believing in such an exercise of the virtue of abne- gation, e noble Foreign Secretary may be right 2 sapeoting late to be s peaceful year. Should this be so, the prestige of the name of Bonaparte will, by a strange reverse and contrast of influences, have rendered memorable services to the peace of Europe. Republican France ought to build a Pe fe of gold for the retreat of this Pretender- jent. But he is to be followed by another. Tho French republic cannot be satisfied without a prince at tho head of it. The candidature of the Prince de Join- ville is serious. He has many friends in ’rance. It 1s said he would be a very republican President. The newspapers quote very generally his declara- tions in favor of universal suffrage. ‘It has been proved to him,” he says, ‘that it is favorable to order and property;” and “an authority which speaks in the name of universal suffrage he declares isthe only one which can the country.” It would be an odd thing if the suffrage were to bo re- stored by a Bourbon after being restricted by a Bonaparte! The restoration of universal suffrage would pre- vent the expected evils. It alone oan create an authority able to dominate the crisis. In May, 1852, three or four, it may be five millions of men who have three times voted as citizens will find themeelves excluded from the suffrage as the “ vile multitude.” Will they submit to it? Should they do it, the event would be one of the most curious in history. Such Frenchmen would be miracles of self-denial. The expectation of it, on which the law of the 31st of May rests, seems to us @ super- stitious delusion of the (areked description. There are Frenchmen who believe in the cab- bage of Rose Tamisier, which was large enough to feed a whole convent; and in pictures of Madonnas which bleed and wink; but the political superstition of the men like Faucher, Mole, Guizot, Montalembert, and Falloux, who deem it sate atonce to disfranchise 5,000,000 of men, is a much wilder and sillier stage of imbecile credulity. This delusion pws that the people are not flesh and blood, but dead wood. The restricted suffrs has been well described as an infernal machine for kindling civil war in all parts of France. Lord Pal- merston may know that this machine will be abolished when the National Assembly moet in November. We do net knowit. We therefore fear the machine may do its work. The noble lord and his colleagues, we remember, were among the number of those to whom the events of 1848 were a surprise. We were not Necessity may compel the royalist factions of France to combine in favor of the candidature of the Prince de Joinville. Meanwhile, we notice two circumstances which show strikingly the held which manhood suffrage has obtained on the French people. The candidate ef the Bourbonists at pre- sent is J accenaea nee: and of the Orleanists, Joinville ; and both are persons who have declared themeelves strongly in favor of universal suffrage. This institution is justly regarded by the clearest thinkers in France as the cork of erat for the country, not merely during a deluge, as in 1348, but by the prevention Cane In sixty years the hereditary principle has failed four times in France. [t brought Louis XVI. to the block, it ruined Bonaparte, and it crumbled down under Charles X. and Louis Philippe. Yet clever men are to be found who cannot rid their minds of the prejudice which deems it a basis of stability and prosperity. ‘The first republic of France did net feel it was betrayed and suppressed. ‘The sovereignty of the people has never failed. Wherever it ma there are security and prospe- rity. In June, 1448, it withstood the most serious shock any Government of modern times has ever had to sustain. In respect of fighting, nothing occurred on the Continent like the five sof Paris; and Cavaignac was victorious in the name of universal suffrage. On the whole, Lord Palmerston prophesies a peaceful year, and we hope he is right; but we can- not see any path to itexceptthat which to him and his friends is an object of aversion and scorn—the way of universal suffrage. The Quarter’s Revenue of Great Britain. From the London Observer, Oct. 5.) The official returns of the quartor’s revenue will be made up on Friday evening next, the 10th inst. Although not yet quite complete, enough is known te enable us to state that the returns for the current quarter will continue to present a most fa- vorable result. In spite ofall the remissions of taxation, the present quarter willshow an increase over the cor- neeing quarter of last year. ith such a greatly diminished expenditure as the late productions have produced, the surplus revenue from receipts, which, notwithstanding all reductions, still keep up their actual amount, pro- mises to be even greaterin the next fiaancial year than it has been in the year 1850 or 1851. There will be a falling off in the stamps of about £100,000, which is less than the loss calculated the reduction of stamp duties, and which the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer estimated at £500,000 a year. There will also be a very small comparative de- ficiency in the item of taxes. All the other items are good, andwill more than cover the deficiency above stated. The custome will show an actual increase over the Cctober quarter of last year, amounting to something near £50,000, notwithstanding the re- ductions that have come into operation during the ear in the import duties upon sugar, coffee, tim- er, Ke ; andt in the quarter just ended, the i aged duty upon corn yielded less than w Lis The excise, too, is eminently satisfactory, and will show anincrease of about the same amount as the customs. This is even a greater test than the otber. Some of the now abolished brick duties were collected in the October quarter of last yoar The increase is chiefly obsorvable in those articles, the consumption of which botokens a substantial accession to the comforts of our working popula- tion. ‘The property and income tax is also better, and indicates a complete recovery from the falling off observable in the last quarter. The Post Office, too, will show a considerable and substantial increase. In fine, the finances of the country are in a most favorable and prosperous condition in all their features. ‘The returns of the Board of Trade, which were iseued on Saturday, are equally satisfactory and conclusive. ‘The Chinese Insurrection and the Standing Army of China. (From the British Army Despatch, Sept. 26 } By the Overland Friend of China, of the 2ith July, further intelligence has been received of the progress of the insurrection in that empire, which appears to be making yet more successful head inst the imperial power. in aly tof June inst, tho Chinese Lieute- In the early nant General, Wu-lan-tai, had left Canton with the intention of coalescing with the commissioners sent by the Tartar Emperor to put down the rebel- lion. “But the insurgents had no intention of allow. ing him to form the coalition with the ease it would appear he had anticipated; and —— battle at a pass called Luk-wo-ee, he was totally routed, with a loss of upwards of one thousand mon, the eral himself being so severely wounded that itis he will have to undorgo the amputatien of an arm The success which tha: seems to attend this out break in the Celestial Empiro, sod the continual defeat of the imperial troops by the undisciplined rebels, goes far to subvert ail the notions that were once entertained in lcuropo of the vast numerical military power at the dieposition of the Emperor; | and little surprise rhould be now felt a+ the read: success of the British arms in 1540, over the Ch nese forces, when such evidence is furnished of the werlereness of the l:mperor to crush the lawless ands which have thrown bis realm into confusion, and perilled his throne for so long a period From so called official documents, we have long been led to believe that China maiatains on foot an army of 700,000 men. But from interesting details recently published by an intelligent officer in the French navy, Captain Jurien de ja Graviere, who made it more his business to inquire into sueh mat- ters, when im China, than our own military or naval cflicers a ir to have done during our hostile ox- into that country in 1840, we aro informed, on the best authorities, that the standing army of China amounts in lity to no more than 60,000 eoldiers, Lay 4 composed of Mandschu Tartars, divided into eight banners. The greater part of these Tartar regiments remain constantly in the capital; the rest are distributed throughout the provinces, and form the garrisons in the chief towns They are described by Captain de la Graviore as courageous and strongly built men, but, notwith- standing, anything but formidable, fer their arms consist only of bows and matchlocks, and they are void of al) skill in military tactics. The pirates of the Malay Archipelago are infinitely superior stra- tegists, says the Captain, to these Mandschu war- Theee last enumerated features, as far as | the personnel of the Tartar soldiers, are corroborated by the accounts given on all hands by those officers and men who made the Chinese campaign of 1840.

This Britis; which is sold for a fow taels, (about 7s. 6d.) entitles the Chinese militia-man to a certain quantity of rice, or a piece of ground to ensure his subsistence. Thus bound to the glebe, these militia are not regated in barracks. Each militiaman lives at ome in the cirele of his children, cultivates his morsel of the “Celestial Empire,” and puis on the upiform only on particalar aad few occasions. When the militia are required for any ome 4 scarcely ore fourth of the seldiers are inscribed on | the mandarins’ registers. Some do not raport themselves at all when summoned, and the greater part have never existed at all, and their pay con tributed only to increase the appointments of the ill-paid cficers. When, however, they have been assembled under the banners, this undisciplined mass frequently becomes mutinous, and, not uofre- | quently, whole corps refuse to fight the enemy, un- lers they are paid extra to do their duty. Before the invasion of tho Inglish, war, and, | therefore, all exercise in the use of arms, was a | thing scarcely ever dreamt of in those peaceful re- | ven the robbers, whore bands increased y want and oppression, Sean Legon the in- tegrity of the empire, feared but little the Chinese soldiers, and were mere frequently disarmed by successful negotiations than by the imperial arm: It is thus, also, with the pirates which infest the coast of Fokien and the Gulph of Tonkin, who beat every war junk, and laugh to scorn the Mandarin Navy, fitted only for the navigation of rivers. Whenever the Chinese government wished to dis- perse these pirates, they were compelled to aed tome captain of these very pirates, one who had quarrelled with his comrades, or been bribed to do- sert with part of the rebel fleet to the Emperor. With suck ill organiz+d elements of strength there is nothing more likely than a great revolution in the Chinese empire, the seeds of which were perhaps sown by the loss of prestige to the imperial power, bumbled in the eyes of the people by the success of the European barbarians. Markets. Lonnox Moxey Manxer, Tuesday evening, October 7.— The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille dis count, according to the new tariff, which, at the English Mint price of £3 17s. 10444 per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.143; and, the exchange at Pa ris on London at short being 26,2244, it follows that gold is about 0.32 per cent dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold ts 42034 pe mark, which, at the English Mint prioe of £3 17s. 10344. por ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.774; snd the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.8, it follows that gold is 0.30 per cent dearer in London than in Hamburg. The coutee of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 day's eight is 110% per cent, and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent, it follows that the exchange,is nominally 0.67 per cent in favor of gland; and, after making allowance for difference of interest and charges of transport, the present rate loaves 4 wall profit on the importation of gold from the United States. ‘The improvement which took place yesterday in the English funds was not maintained to day, and they bave returned to their former quotations.
