Notwithstanding vaunting of the English press, that the war would be a sho-t and brilliant one, the terrible fact and Cronstadt would have fallen before this, and the Russian army would have been driven back beyond the Prath. The whole of the Baltic trade of Russia is now stopped, and if that circumstance will drive the Russians into insurrection and make them regicides, the Czar has not Jone to live, The Engtish journals have several times hinted that the Czar is timid and fearful, and that his people are gloomy and discontented; but these hints have not heen confirmed. The wish on the of the jour- nalista has been father to the thought, probably. yy the German States Bavaria and Saxony are un I 1. also is Naples, and 80 ly are in and Portugal. & would be most important if Sweden would declare for the Western Powers, for she is the natural enemy of Russia; but she holds aloof. She would gladly get back Finland from Russia, but the Pins have P treated well by the astate Czar, and it ia said they have no wish to change masters. Austria is still arming, ostensibly to defend her frontier. The Western ers flatter themselves that Aus- tria will use her accumulating forces against Russia, ‘but at present there i» no reason to believe but that they may be used nea Teme a The English and nch zorernmanta are in a fearful predicament. They have such dynastic ‘Re jadices and such a dread of democracy that they would gladly guarantee the statu quo as it existed before the invasion of the Danubian Principalities, but tay dare not guarantee the present iniquitous politi arrangements of Europe, nor permit Russia, ifshe is defeated, to retain her dangerous and overgrown dominion. Kyery day the Rossian war lasts, and every life that is sacrificed in it, exas- erates the Hnglish and French pcople against issian power, and spines the supineness and treachery which have allowed ita acquisition. If the Western Powers knew their own interest, and studied to be just and generous, a bold policy would be the wisest. If they would declare that the cae was ee fora pen meut tele aor of power in Europe, and for the oppressed peoples of Poland, poet and Italy to ave justice done them, they would find the war probably not so dif- ficult or Jasting. It wonld at once compel every nation to declare itself, and to take siles. France, England, Hun; , Poland and Italy would be more than a match for all Europe; beside, Russia, Aus- tria and Prussia would then not only be obliged to defend their frontiers, but their very centres. The absolutists would not have a ship-of-war to fight with, nor be able to cross a single sea, while the best and bravest armies and an irresistible fleet would be on the side of the liberals. A war con- ducted by such combatants could not last long, and would terminate assuredly in the ascendancy of eiaiead and France, end in the triumph of human ireedom. Slavery in Cuba. [From the London News, June 9.] There are now at Southampton eighteen self-eman- cipated negroes, with five children belonging’ to them, from the island of Cuba. The adults were kidnapped from Lagos, and are now about to return there. They were not all kidnapped at one time, but became socuiniee with aot other in slavery, and associated her from belonging to the same part of Africa. e adults consist of ten men and eight women. Some of the children are infants. One of’the women has been in slavery thirty-six Shae Several of them have heard of their rela ‘ives in Lagos through slaves who have been re- cently imported into Cuba from Africa. All the eman- ce negroes in Southampton speak Spanish. ey know little of religion, although each one was baptized in the Catholic faith as soon as they were landed at Cuba. They do not know their own ages. The husbands and wives have never been married by any Christian rites, but having selected each other in aaron they have remained true towards one another since. Some of them are workmen, and have been slaves to persons who let them out to hire. One of them, a tobaccoist, and a good work- man, used toearn eight dollars a week, give his master six, two dollars he kept himself to live upon and tosave money to buy his. freedom. The person who hires slavesin Cuba may flog them; in fact, do any- thing exoent qmaim or kill them. In sere (ee at which aslave can purchase his freedom is fixed by the State; and there are greater facilities there for a slave obtaining his freedom than there are in America, or than there were in the British colonies. None of the negroes now in Southampton can read or write. They paid about £20 a piece to get to Southampton from Havana, in a West India packet, and they have scarcely any money left. Mr. py peepee mem- ber of the iety of Friends, in hampton, has taken charge of them in that town, and has collect- ed from day to day, amongst his friends, fands for their support, and is endeavoring to interest the English government to send them to Africa free. They prefer going to Lagos rather than to Liberia orSierra Leone. They are very timid, and fearful lest the ship in which they go out to Africa should be captured, and they be forced again into slavery. The women are » and the men well be- haved. Some of had kind masters in Cuba, | and others had cruel ones, and were subjected to much illusage. There are about eighty self-eman- cipated negroes now in Cuba waiting sapomeaities to reach country, on their way to Africa. 0; Continental India and Continental Europe. Gen. Briggs has just published a ‘ Comparative View of the Population and Saperficial Area of Con- tinental India and Continental Europe within the Baltic and Mediterranean Seas, exclusive of Russia and Turkey.” Continental India, says the General, exceeds in ge enn and superficial area that of Continen- Rye bordered on the three sides by the Bal- | tic, the tlantic, and the Mediterranean seas. Its vast population comprises thirteen nations, ing different Cae AT and with pecaliar local usages. The religion of the Hindus is, like that of Euro- peans, based on one common creed, but it is also subdivided into numerous national schismatic sects. The written code of laws, probably as ancient as that | of Moses, but mach more in detail, is everywhere respected as the basis of their civil institutions; but in practice these laws have received local moiifica- tions, and what is adopted by conventional usage by one nation is no longer applicable to another, re- moved at the distance of some bundreds or thou- sands of miles. There isa remarkable coincidence in respect of lan; e between India and Europe. All the nations inhabiting the regions north of the Vindayan range of mountains, a eoay Beat from lower India, speak dialects of the Sanscrit lan- guage, introduced from the conquering Hindus, rhaps thirty-five centuries ago; while, with e exception of the Mahratta nation, all those of the south dialects of a language derived from an aboriginal race of inhabitants anterior to the Hindu8 conquest. So in Europe, all the languages north of the Alps, with the exception of the Frenoh, are of Teutonic origin, while France and the other Southern nations speak lan; de- rived from the Latin. With these facts before ns, | the Legislature has acted wisely in retaining the present system for the government of India, under which so vast an acquisition has been made to the British empire with comparatively little bloodshed, and which has been administered with a certain de- gree of advantage to both countries. The climate alone must always deter Englishmen from settli: permanently in India, if it were not already ‘ooenpled by a dense and civilized population; and while America and Australasia are open to emigration, the notion of colonizing India by Englishnien is out of the question. main utility of India to England is in a commercial point of view, and our interesfgi identified with its improvement and prosperity.” It must always be governed by means of its own inhabitants, requiring sufficient European supervision only to ensure the just administration of the laws, which is best effected by training the Ein glish civil and {military servants, from youth up. wards, to a knowledge of the language and the in stitutions of the people. India not only pays its own expenses, but also the interest on national debt, the principal of which, however, falls short of three years annual rovonue—a revenne which might easily be doubled by that attention to the improve- ment of the country which it is our duty to bestow on it. When we are told that,excepting in the ex- treme north-western provinces, there are scarcely any permanent roads or canals for traffic; that the of priuting has not been introduced beyond a dozen towns; that the use of a pump is unknown except in the government dooky Is of Bombay and Calcutta; and that nearly nine years have elapsed since the project of constructing railways was entertained, and that only twenty miles have yet been completed, we need not wonder that the people are ignorant, and the resources of the coun- ry are yet to be developed. But the attention late- Hf bestowed on the adjustment of the land tax and the formation of roads and canals in the Agra Presi- dency and in the Panjaud, affords hope that similar improvements will be extended to the other parts of India, and that the new constitution of the home screen will lead to a better state of things. uch has been eaid of late years of the danger to our Indian possessions from a Russian invasion. With ordinary foresight and precaution we have nothing to fear from that quarter, while our Indian revenue enables us to maintain a most efficient standing army {a time of peace, of more than 300,000 men, | which might, when required, be increased in a few | months to double that number. We need not appre- hend external enemies in India,our danger lies at onr | | doors; but by @ wise and just internal administra- | * jon we may Sement o eee =e intent of Bogland to 20, EUROPEAN STATES. 35,781,628 41,212,750 17,628,715 14,216,219 9, 113,198,402 Ttaly—Sardinia, 5,000,000 ; Tuscany, 1,761,000; Roman States, 2,889,228. , Parma and Modena. 9,650,228 1,083,801 3,267,62 gdom dom of Wurte 000, kingdom of Hanover, 168,847 8,358,847 European States not included... . 14,778,189 Total European population. . 160,480,473 INDIAN 8TA‘ British dominions—The Punjab, 8,000,- 000; N.

The Paris Moniteur publishes the following ar- | ticle on Russian finance:— According to the last official documents published in Rassia, the general total of the home and foreign debt of that empire amounted, on the Ist January, 1853, to 401,000,000 of silver roubles, (1.604,000,- 000 of francs,) namely:— Silver Roubles. Quota of Russia in the old Dutch Loan. . 33,100,000 Second Dutch Loa: 24,049,000 Home debt.d terme.. 10,867,055 Perpetual home and 23,861,476 Other sundry debts. 5,280, Total... . 401,562,111 times has also at her charge other obligations, viz.: 1, The reimbursement of what are called credit mall tao on presentation, circulating without interest, guaranteed by the reserve of precious metals d sited in the fortress of St. Petersburg, and which may be considered as a kind of paper money. 2, The reimbursement of what art called series bills, issued successively, according to the neces- sities of the treasury, payable at eight years’ date, and producing during it interval an interest of 43 Pac cent. . The guarantee given by the government to all establishments of public credit, such as the Lom- bards of Moscow and St. Petersburg, the loan banks and commercial banks of St. Petersburg, Moscow, Riga, Odessa, Kharkhoff, and other places, a guaran- tee which establishes a complete joint responsibility between the credit of those catablishments and that of the State. The service of the debt in perpetual rentes con- stitutes an Byala charge for the treasury, as the capital of that debt never reaches a higher sum than 223,000,000 of silver roubles (892,000,000f.); but the importance, and particularly the nature of other debts, appears to create for Rassian finances a certain danger under existing circumstances. Thus the issue of credit bills amounted on the 13th of Jaauary, 1853, to 311,000,000 of silver roubles (1,244,000,000 of francs), the reimbursement of which was Sepa by a deposit in the fortress of 146,000, of roubles (584,000,000 of francs), which is asufficient proportion. In March, 1854, this metalic reserve was only 116,000,000 of roubles (464,000,000 of francs), and since that period it must have been reduced; but it is difficult to de- termine the amount of that diminution, as well as the increase which may have taken place daring the ae eighteen months in the circulation of credit pills. The series bills, a kind of treasury bills, are issued by series of 3,000,000 of silver roubles. On the Ist of January, 1853, there were nineteen series of them in ciret ion, or 57,000,000 of roubles (228,000,000 of francs.) Since that date there have been issued eight fresh series, which, added to the previous ones, ma total sum of 81,000,000 of roubles (324,000,000 of francs,) under the form of bills reimbursable at fixed dates. The issue of these bills takes place by public ukases, whilst that of the credit bills in- creases or diminishes without its being made known by- official notification. . The most perilous eventuality results, without contradiction, from the guarantee given to the estab- lishments of public credit. These important and numerous concerns, which are carried on under the surveillauce of the State, receive deposits, the re- imbureement of which may be demanded within a shert delay. The amount of these deposits was on the Ist of January, 1853, 806 millions of silver roubles (3,224 millions of francs). The danger of this state of thi arises net only from the mass of capital which may be called for, but in uence of a great part of this capital being, as it were, locked up in investments made under form of loans on landed property, freimbursableJ by annuities. The Lombards, the mechanism of which has been at work for the last 125 yoars in Ruasia, and takes the lace of the Mont de Piete Savings Banks and Ereatt Foncier, have thus lent 463 millions of silver roubles (1,852 millions of francs), by way of mort- gage on 5,200,000 heads of peasants, and on a cer- tain number of houses. In order to sum up the financial situation as far as regards the thtée categories of obligations in ques- tion, we will mention—1, That on the Ist of Janu- ary, last year, the credit bills in circulation amount- ed to 311,000,000 of silver roubles (1,244,000,000 of francs), guaranteed by a metallic reserve of 146,000,000 of silver roubles (584,000,000 of francs). 2. That the serics bills formed at the same date a total of 57,000,000 of silver roubles (228,000,000 of francs). 3. That the deposits confided to the difier- ent establishments of public credit constituted an ensemble of 506,000,000 of roubles (3,224,000,000 of francs) ,the reimbursement of which may be demand- ed at any time. On the other hand, the budget of receipts is esti- mated in Russia at 200,000,000 of roubles (500,000,000 of franca), the half of which is furnished by the cus- toms duties and the monopoly of the brandy manus facture. On the most moderate calculation, the deficit in these two branches of the revenue, caused by exist- ing circumstances, will amount to fifty millions of roubles. It istherefore with a revenue reduced to one Mindred and fifty millions of roubles (six hun- dred millions of francs) that the treasury is compelled to meet its expenses, ea ab increas- ed by the state of war. mmerce, agriculture, and manufactures are now suffering in Russia, as well from the difficulty of exporting, both by sea and land, as from the refusal of foreign merchants to nt the facilities for payment which they have itherto given. This must have for effect to multi- ply the calls on the public establishments for the reimbursement of deposits. If the credit of the State and of those establishments has not yet been directly attacked, it is only a question of time. The day on which the State shall cease to exchange its paper against the precious metals will be the signal of a tremendous crisis; and if the war should be pro- ware, this isa fact which must inevitably trke place. News from Ireland, The Dublin correspondent of the London Tiss, writing on the sth inst., says:—It ap ts by the Galway papers of yesterday that another effort is now being made to connect New York with the capital of Be oon by steam navigation. Three gentlemen of the former city, who profess to fee! a warm interest in the fortunes of lreland—namely, Messra. Dudley Perase and Horace Greeley and Capt. John Graham—have purchased the splendid steam- ship William Norris, now lying on the stocks at Long Island. Their pu eis to ron hor between old possesajonof the coyntry, asa de- | New York gnd-the port of Galway, and they gnty , in. amount of co-operation of ‘ne Adantice when the vesee! wil! for starting. It is further stated that b= orgy named are offered a large for the bont, but. they decline all offers until ball have received the answer of the Great Railway Company, to whom they have m to become joint proprietors in the g] to the amount of only £12,000. The William Norris is engaged to make the pa: from shore to shore in less than eight days, and tl boat can be made ready for sea by the lat of August next, her engines (1,200 horse power) being nearly completed. Al! this looks very well on paper, but, after the rej failures of similar speculations, it is positively marvellous to find the good people of Galway still lending a serious ear to chis periodi- cal delusion. ‘The Spanish Navy. {rom the London Chronicles June 6.)

The following extraordinary narrative is pub- lished in the Malia Ordine of May 26:— We are informed that at Civita Vecchia an extra- ordinary and interesting event has taken place in the Church of the Minor Conventualists. Our in- formant, a respectable eeclesiastic, and a person most worthy of credit, writes that he was an eye- witness of the fact. On the 20th April, 1854, at about four in the after- noon, several children being assembled by the parish priest for their tirst communion, five of them, after having made the holy confession, repaired to the chapel of St. Antonio di Padova, to return thanks. On the right side of thestatue of the saint was suspended a painting on canvas, about three palms in height, representing the figure of the most holy Virgin, with® the eyes uplifted to heaven, and the bands joined in the act ot prayer. Two ef the children placed themselves before it to pray, and while their eyes were fixed upon the igi igure, they exclaimed in alarm: “T' aionna is looking at us, and moves her eyes.” The other three ran np, and, wonderful to state, be- lieved the same. So lively were their sensations and internal commotions, that one of them prostrated himself on his face on the ground, two ran crying and Sonning inform the parish priest, the oth- ers to make their parents acquainted with the cir- cumstance. A pious woman, who was praying in the chapel, hastened to the spot at the ery of the children, and she also saw the prodigy. Immedi- ately the chapel was filled with people, the pictur was removed from the wall, and placed on the al tar, candles were lighted, prayers were loudly yo- ciferated, and the holy Virgin repeated the prodigy, and moved her divine eyespalthough not all pre- sent had the consolation to observe the movement. This was the commencement of the affecting pro- digy. The most holy mother has continued to move her eyes, sometimes towards one, sometimes towards another, and sometimes towards many together, and still continues to do so up to the present doy (sth May). The most frequent movement of the holy eyes is to look up and look down, but very often she moves them horizontally or directs them towards the bystanders. His Eminence the Cardinal Bishop Lambruschini (now of illustrious er or: dered that a canonical process should be commenced, and in consequence of which, on the 26th of the same month of April, the eccle siastical authorities assembled some persons skilled in the art of painting and in the anatomy of the eye, and in the presence of many respectable rsons of the city, proceeded to a formai inspec- tion of the holy picture. The prodigy is certitied by an immense number of persons of every class and every age. The chapel has become a most de yout sanctuary. The most reverend chapter of the cathedral, witt its head, the su n lao went in procession to worship the ho y ore, and was followed by the chapter of the neighboring Tol- fa ; the Teen ‘secular confraternities, and the reli- gious bodies of the reverend Dominican, Capuchin, and Doctrinary fathers of Civita Vecchia, and an immense concourse of devotees crowd daring the day and until late at night to the holy place, to im. lore for grace. In this manner the mother of our ord exhibits her mercy, and shows herself visibly propitious by means of this holy picture to the peo ple of God. The Probable Daration of the War in Europe. (From the London Times, June 6.} In estimating the probable issne of tue pending contest between Russia and the Allies, the weakness as well as the strength of the belligerent must be taken into consideration. In war isrelative. The resources at the command Eng- land and France are enormous, and indeed, practi- cally speaking, unlimited; but it is only refe- rence to the resources of the enemy that they can be accurately judged. If these are uniimited also, the conflict, notwithstanding our advantages, might be indefinitely discerncd at which the means of Russia might be expected to fail, the hour of victory and of peace may come within the scope of calculation. Omit- ting for the present all speculation upon the actual results of the peopled ts just opened, we can present some contrast of the resourees of the belligerents in matters of finance, There, as the proverb tells us, represent the sinews of war, and in the present day especially it may safely be assumed that the saying holds good to its fullest extent. Although, of course, the financial condition of Russia can bear no comparison with that of this country, yet it would be a great delusion to regard it as altogether unsound. Up to the outbreal the present war, the credit of Russia, as exempli- fied in the loan last contracted, was exceeding]. gocd, nor was there anything in the general ad- ministration of the empire at all tending to impair it. We may say, in short, that Russia entered upon this contest, with resources almost as satis- factory as could be anticipated from a oonneay in such ‘a state of civilization. Its expenditure, thongh large, was not extravagant, for the high value of money and the low standard of remune- ration enabled the imperial government to main- tain armaments of vast magnitude, at a charge proportionately small. Gieat economy of manage- ment, too, notwithstanding an extensive preva lence of corruption, has been introduced into the several departments, and the general results were such,as t¢ exempt the Czar from the difficulties ex- perienced in many other States. But the question now is, what effect will be produced by a conflict which, while it diminishes the receipts of the gov- ernment, must cnormously increase its expenditure, and what new resources will be found available against this extraordinary demand? The finances of Russia were undoubtedly flourishing, as estimated by the requirements of peace, but how will they sup- | port the exactions of war? The expenses of @ war must be encountered either by increased yearly taxation or by the forestalment of fature revenues through the medium of loans Englanl has adopted the former of these expedients -lrance the latter; bat what will Rnasia attempt? The last war of the Czar with Turkey in 1827-28 was conducted, we believe, without any material angmentation of the public Sebt, but on that occasion the armaments ro0) malytpined on errr doretrarted; but, if any point can be | fn of | those now required, at the same time that the re- venues of the underwent noguch curtailment a6 that to which they are now exposed by the block- ade of every Russian port, and the almost total stop- Rage of direct Rassian tra: By a singular coinci- nce, too, of misfortunes, commerce of Russia China, on her eastern frontiers, has just now been seriously damaged, and it is alleged upon a ge- neral computation that the pagrenate revenue of | the government must be diminished by at least 25 | r cent. Hitherto these deficiencies, as well as | | the extraordidary charges of the conjuncture, have been met by the employment of some of the bullion sy in reserve, by the issue of fresh paper money, and by the receipt of contributions more or less vo- luntary from various classes of the population. Bi it is evident that the two former of these resource must rapidly destroy each other, and that the resu!: is aye: sudden distress and general impover- ishment. Up to very recent times the amount of | bullien preserved in the fortress of St. Petersburg has been petichentty, large to support the paper eur- rency of the country; but, as the stability of the latter depends entirely upon the maintenance of the former, any absorption of this treasure must induce a simultaneous depreciation of the paper money toa more than proportionate extent. ‘This absorption has already commenced, though it does not yet seem to have proceeded so far as to impair confidence. There is obviously oe difficulty in ascertaining the | truth under existing circumstances, but it is Rena: | ed that more than one-fourth of the reserve already been taken, while a considerable addition has been made to the currency, based upon the se curity of this metallic hoard. Now, if this process | continues, and it the bullion is consumed while the notes representing it are maltiplied, it is plain that the result must be a panic and a crisis, termi- | nating, perhaps, in some arbitrary edict attachinga forced yalue to the paper circulation. Such a | course however, has never failed to bring about | financial ruin. To put the case briefly, the available resources of Ruasia, in the way of finance, are constituted in a great degree by the possession of a metallic capita), which capital she is, nevertheless, now compelled to consume. In England the wealth of the depends upon the productive powers of an a: and adventurous population; in Russia it depend largely upon an accumulation of specie supporting a great cirenlation of paper money, and if this res is encroached upon the foundation of Russian fin is undermined, and the whole superstructure totter. ne result of this kind it is reasonable to anticipate, tor, if the war could only be commenced | by such piients as we have described, vious that, as the extraordinary charges | and the pressure is angmented, the same reso i must be appealed to again and again, until it per | ishes altogether. Inthe meantime, every class of | the population wonld experience its share of the general distress, and it would become next to impos- sible to raise even the ordinary supplies. Nevertheless, although these are among the em- barrassments to be expected from the liabilities in which the Emperor Nicholas has involved himself, it would be erroneous to conclude that the military ar With its financial eee eee The wars of reyo- lationary I'rance exhibit sufficient proof of the ex- tent to which absolute power may compensate for the want of material means. In those campaigns enormous armies were kept on foot by a goy- ernment utterly destitute of pecuniary resources; and, though the facilities for making war snp- ! port. war are less available to a belligerent | | confined within his own territories, it must long | remain within the power of a monarch like the Czar | to despatch battalions of serfs to the frontiers. For offensive warfare he would be Saree but for | defensive warfare he would retain the resources | of an Autocrat disposing at his discretion of millions of lives. It should be remembered, too, that of the | population under his rule a large portion has been | | trained to arms, inured to military discipline, and | | habituated to such a method of living as would | inyolve severe privation to soldiers of other cou! tries. War, in fact, if not the object of the Ri sian government, has, at any rate, for a long time | been kept in view as a fier) contingency ; | munitions have been accumulated, fortitications have been multiplied, and immense forces have been | raised. How ineffective, in some respects, these preparations have proved, and how strikingly the | thefirst resolnie attempt at resistance has exposed weak points of the imperial power, we need not | remark; but the general conclusion would appear to be clear. As far as war depends upon finance, | we can override and cripple our adversary without | the smallest difficulty; we shall overmatch him, we confidently trust, with equal certainty in the field or on the sea; but th minions, and the number and character of his sub- jects, pay. tracting the struggle. Effects of the War on France. {Yrem the Paris Constitutionel, Jnne § } The Emperor Nicholas, in invading Turkey and disturbing the peace of the world, imagined that the Western Powers were too much occupied with their own affairs at home to think of impeding his projects. France had been depicted to him under false colors. He had been made to believe that the prosperity which we enjoyed was false, that the Impulse acquired by commerce and manufac- ‘tures was factitious, that the movement was owing to an over-excited spirit of speculation, and that all this would disappear like the decoration of an opera at the first cannon shot. The calculations of the Emperor Nicholas were founded on the hypo- thesis that it would be impossible for us to under- take the war without bringing about a crisis which would Jead to general ruin, and which would para- | lyse all our means. Now the Emperor of all the | ussias mast know on what he has to calculate. War has been declared, a considerable army has | been sent to the Hast, and all the effect it has had | on ue was a moment of hesitation, which very soon | disappeared. Prosperity has resumed its usual | course; money is as abundant as it has over been; | the public funds have pmprored; the Joan by sub- scription, far from enfeebling the credit of the State, | has by its success strengthened and extended it; not only do the grand enterprises, which had been , undertaken proceed with vigor, but new ones are | being organized, and France, fall of confidence in the future, goes on as though we had never ceased to be at peace. If it were hat gent to give a striking eae of the confidence of os italists, we may quote the contract which has just heen entered into by the city of Paris with a powerful company for the sale of all the land, and for the completion of the environs of the Louvre. The war in the East has not checked this great undertaking for the im- provement and re-formation of the s‘reets which surround the Imperial Palace. The company has purchased the ground at a price very advantageous for the city, and it has engaged to complete all the buildings with a rapidity which appears incredible. This, it must be admitted, is a fact which has a cer- tain political importance, and which is of a nature to clearly manifest the real state of the Se Decrees, as it is well known, have declared that is a measure of public utility to construct the houses in a uniform style of architecture, and with external arcades, in that part of the Rue de Rivoli | which extends from the Passage Delorme — tothe Rue dés Povlies,and on the Place du Palais Royal. The ground cleared away has been put up for sale and two attempts to obtain purchasers were made without success just at the time that war was de- | clared. The company which has just purchased it of the city has sum above the upset price | fixed at the sale, and it has engaged to complete all the tar in the space of one year—that is to say, before the month of June, 1855. The ground | purchased by the company is that which extends from the ayes Delorme to the Rue des Poulies, and that in the Rue de I’Echelle, and by the side of | the Place du Palais Royal. Rrom this must be ex cegted the lots adjoining the Rue des Poulies, which had been purchased by M. Darblay, jun., and a lot on the Place du Palins Royal, which had been sold to the Entreprise des Omnibus. The price paid by the company varies from 400f. to 500f. a metre, the average being about 460f. If we are not mistaken, | the last upset price wae on an average of 3s7i that the extra price obtained by the city is iif a metre, and to this must be added the immense ad- vantage for the city in having the buildings complet- | edin such ashort space of time. Another advan- | tage is presented by this combination, and that is { | the introduction of fresh capital into building enter- prizes, which support, in Paris, twenty very import- ant branches of industry. The sity is nowexecuting | and is about to undertake immense works inopening | | new streets—among the number we may mention the | Boulevard Malesherbes, and the continuation of the Boulevard de Strasburg ; it was, therefore, highly | interested in not allowing the value of ground to | decline, and the contract just entered into with the | company has attained that object. The expenses of | the enterprise undertaken by the company are esti- mated at twenty millions, the greater part of which will be expended in labor, and must consequently | benefit the working classes. If the afiair be advan- | tageous for the city and for the State, we think that ! it will not be less so for the company, which has | iven this example of confidence in the future. The | ‘ouses which are to built will be exempt from taxes for thirty years ; they are in an admirable situation ; they are particularly suitable to those hotels to which rich foreigners flock, and they will be opened | nnder the most favorable circumstances—that is to say, at the moment when the Universal Exhibition } will attract an immense number of strangers to | paris, The company of the Rue de Rivoli has, more- | over, the best guarantees, It is organised under the auspices and with the co-operation of the Société du Credit Mobilier, which thus realizes one of the most essential parts of ite 8) pa The Credit Mobi- lier Spe is not on! ya bank destined to favor the development of public credit and grand railway enterprises, it. is aleo a Société Commanditaire de l'Industrie, and a8 auch is calculated to render im- | portant services to the country.
