Toe entire amount, however, Will coubtices be apeedily disbursed by the goverament— a ¢., will return into the ordioary chanvels. Of the other demands upon the market much has Deen said, but prematurely. The Russian loan is Bob yet formally launched, Even ia the event of ‘three or four miliions of the stock being taken up bere, the subscription In cash would amount to @uly two and three quarter millions sterling; and who ‘Wil say that payment to this extent, spread over a period of ight months, can disturb the market, moro es pecially having regard to the very favorable position, in Telation to this country, of the Russian exchanges? Vaiy @ portion of the last Turkish loan was sept out in gold, ane tLe ciffusion of the precious metal in Turkey for the Tedewpuon of the paper esha Se already causing a eoneicvrable refinx to th side. game will probably be the cage with the Ruavian loan. Most important feature of all; there is a remark. able abrence of the speculative element in the cur. rent trade of the country. The immense mass of Actitious paper, repreeeutivg no bona fide considera. tion, which was set float during the year or two Momediately preceding tho crisis of 1857, has been cleared | away ; and its disappearance involves that of the men who ‘Were uniformly the highest und most eager bidders for mecey to the prejudice of the legitimate trader. The prices ‘of commodities, too, are Jow, in the absence of specula- Bon. The disposition to buy wildly tallow, sugar or silk, and to “‘pleege”’ it, ro matter how onerous tho price tobe pad for the accommodation, has, for the time, been Srushed out. The value of most articles of produce being ‘thes low, a vastly iess amount of money is required to carry on the millions of bargains, wholesale aud retail waich are eiteeted every day. Tae saving in tho amount of money absorbed in the every day internal trade of the covatry must be enormous, In many quarters there is a lingering impression that ‘war on the ent would st once determine a drain of god and tighten the money market. There is, however, ‘wpood deal of fallacy in this supposition. Let us glance at @ period when the circumstances of the timos ‘were in meny respects analogous. Iu the years 1845 and 1849, when we had bat recently emerged from @ com. Mercia} crisis, there was surely sofficiemt poiitioal and Fevojationary ugitaton on the Contineat; yet the average ‘value of money in wis country was ouly about 244 per ‘ent. In the event of France aod Austria meeting in armed and projonged conflict on the plains of Thaly, specio would of course be required, fur it alw. Bews to a scene of war. Per contra, however, trade in belligerent countries would be destroyed or materially checked, the resuit being a counteracting influence on the ‘meney market. Thep » the fact Of those two coua- ne, to war couid not make Eogiaad their dedtor; jand if ebe be not in their debt, how can capital be attracted hence? War might stimulute hoarding, occasion @ drain jot guid from the banks of France and Austria, and some- what raise the value of money in those couatrica, thus fectirg to a certain extent the exchanges with Eoglan: ‘but it may safely be predicated that, anless Eugland bet stould take ap active part in the strite, even a conti- fnental war would not have a severe effect upon our moacy ket under present circumstances. If, then, there be no ground for anxiety either in the ver drain, in the commitments for the Indian and Rus- loans, in the position of the general trade of the coun- 'Y, OF even in the exireme contingency of a sanguinary jar on the Continent, what becomes of the apprehensions Xpressed respecting the fature course of the mouey mar- et? Ata time when the buition in the bank still amounts eiguhep acd a half miliions,and the idle reserve to even and a quarter milione, an exaggerated degree of portance must not be attached to a variation of a million two, urisig fom causes requiring bo explanation. uF Apprebepsion the market bas rarely word a more set- ef OF satisfactory appearance t. ubviess, within the range of possibility that, with a con ance of the sliver drain, and with atemporary withhold. Kot sopphes of gold from Australia, the withdrawal buljion from the bank might mduce the directors to pousider tbe propriety of raving their minimum rate to ree per ceot. But, this being the extent of the pros. ive ateration, what man of business can feel a mo- ub's hesitation at entering into any legitimate transac- u presented 1o bam? If the difference between 234 and yaree per cent makes the difference between profit and 8, be bed better remain idle. What our merchants eqaire for the safe conduct of their business is a reasona- le degree of asturance that there will be no sudden and jiolent chapges im the market; aud th.s assurance they avenow. After cach commercial collapse there is a rojopged pauee in the career of speculation and an easy ouey market. For nearly five years after the crisis of $47 the bank rate of discount did uot exceed three per i THE FINANCES OF AUSTRIA. Translated for the New York Aeratv from the Paris Patrie.) | We have spoken repeatedly of the deplorable condition }f the finances of Austria, in order te show bow the pre- snes of that Power are in disaccordance with its real Mength. We now find in the Belgian Economist a very emarkable article on the same subject, which, above all, ‘ag the intention of proving that Austria, especially in onevquence of her fisancial embarrassments, will have very mterest to avoid war. is is @ fact which has passed to the state of an siom, that tbe financial condition of Austria has een greauy embarrassed for @ long time past; the uc getary accounts rencered themeelves, although drawn P wath a greab deal of bility and with the view Ovsimpulatiog a8 mach as possible so as to establish 26 truth of ber pretensions, offer superabundant proof. ,ot that the receipts of the Austrian government have cep siationary; o the contrary, no State in Europe it day be has within the last six years seen its ordinary re- /pypts progressing £0 rapidly ag those of Austria have pro- reseed, In creating eome new imposte; in incrgasin od reincrcasing the amount of o/4 insboons: in submi log to the reo Sf certain mane (Wbacco, &o.) he provinces” which, until 1848, Deen exempt; nd in applying iteelf to favor, at least, the mato. ‘al developement of the Empire, the ‘government "ten years succeeded in obtaining an increase ly more than seventy per cent on its ordinary venucs, Of one hundred and sixtyone millions of ring (tbe Austrian floria, before the Monetary Conven- of the 24th of January, 1857, and which only entered to vigor since the let January, 1869, is worth 2 france ) in 1847, they bave amounted to 182,000,000 in 1860, 224,000,000 im 1852, to 246,000,000 in 1864, going be- 268,000,000 im 1856, and attaining the sum of 16,000,000 of tloring in 185}, Notwithstanding this, the settlement Of 1846 waa the et in which the budget was closed with a balance ex- feaing 1,130,498 florins; since that time deficiencies havo ome the rule, wi the extraordinary receipts 22,000,000 of florins in 1857) were constant), ied to the ordinary resources. This deficit, ich left the ordinary expenses comparatively to \e ordinary resources, had not yet reached the 45,000,000 florizs of 1£48, the year of war and revolution; but uce then ft bas constantly exceeded this figure in a eater or Jess proportion, Of 64,000,000 of florins in 1850, xe dc cit ©ax 60,000,000 in 1868, which decredsod to 42,” 10,000 in 1856, to remount to $2,600,000 In 1966, again ‘coming 48,000,000 in 1857. These Sgures, certainly con- derabie enovgh for a country in which economical deve- pement is yot greatly beniodhand, are vevertheless far om expreseing the Kei of the charges which weigh 2on the Austrian population. The budget of Austria drags after it, in the test form of a simple contingent, @ second aapler, comprising the provision and the em- oyment of the special resources (Besondere Zn- atae) & contingent whose \mportance is more than or- wary, and often exceeds the half of the ordinary and Xtraordinary budget of receipts and expenditure. Those yecial resources (accruing from conaolidated and Lor ebte, the sale of railroads, &c., and the expenses whic! arreepond thercto) were increased in 1866 vo 150,000,000, ad in 1867 to 118,600,000; and it was very modest, be- voge in the exercise of the preceding year, 1867, the special resources” had not beem aui t for the ex- jonae of 363,000,000 of florins. The expenses of the Aus- ‘lan government were then increased in the all but nor- al operations of 1866 and 1867 to 486,000,000 and re- ‘decuvely to 459,000,000 of florins, whea the and of the Bosondere Za- straordinary receipts (on the ay 000; and respec- vely of 198,000,000 at the disposal of fg 3 uese) did not reach a sum ee fea yw hee etent = the spenses have progressed more rapidiy yet than the re- pts, if on the whole they have accrues ae we have cose Sorina in 1857, were x in 1886, to 37,200,000 in 18658, to arrive in 1866 to > eight years an crease Of decreased, ustrian pepulation owe this diminntion of the charges al- paamenee to the partial redustion which the re- tablishment of @ general peace in 1866, and the consoli- ation, more or less scrious, of tranqnilitt in the interior, srmitted Austria to bring into operation in the Siate, and ‘terwards in the expenses of the army.

On the other hand, Austria, at all times indebted, has since 1648 drawn largely on the sources of public credit: joans at home avd abrowd; loans from loiteries, and at premiums; voluntary aa forced loans, a.) have been tried and exploded. Since 1446, when tbe conselidated and touting debt was iccreased to one thuusaud aud eighty- eight millions of florns, not a single year upto 1856 has parsed witbout the sugmeniation of @ suw more or les heacy. From 1847 to 1850-—that 1s to say , untii toe verge of the war in the Evet—the debt had increased to eight Lundsed and sixty eight millions gix hundred aad nincsy- two thousend igdt hundred avd forty-two forina. It is & ue that lo the Fame pace of time it bad been reduced by ove bendred and thirty-three millisns; there remained, nevertbeless, au increase of seven hundced and thirty-Uve millions, which brought the debt to one thousand eight hundred aud twenty-three mi)ions of florins. The three so-called national loans of 1854 bave added pearly 6C0,C00,000, in @ manuer that, notwithstanding the feeble reimbursements made to the Bank of Vicnua, aud the withdrawal of a certain qaantity of paper money, the public debt ia the ten years from 1846 accrued to more t 130 per cent, and authentic documents, into whore details we cannot elter for the want of space, carry if im 1867 to 2,400,600 ,000 of florwa, wich is 6,000,000,000 of francs The payment of interest absorbs’ nearly the huif of the ordinary revenues, with the budget of war, to which, in a great measure, it owes its existence, the pudlic debt absorbs five sixihs of tno ordinary resouro’s. For tbe rest, the government itself bas learved to disiain the duty of connting ite fibencial means, and of taking into consi- deration the contributive ability of its peopic, which it will already find a powerful obstacle to new loans in an attitude nothing ices exeouroging to capital. The compote check which tne lsst loan, comparatively a small oue (£6,000,C66), and patronized by the frat financial power of the age, has reeetved in England, is in this respect mu eloquent argument which renders all commentary anne. ceesary.

THE NEWS BY THE ANGLO-SAXON IN DETAIL, THE WAR NEWS. AUSTRIA AND SARDINIA, The official Vienna Gazctle pubhehes a communication which calls on Picduont to reduce her army to a peace fovting, to disband her volunteers, and within three days to give a positive answer to these requirements. In con- clusion it emphatically threatens a resort to arms in the unfortunate event of Piedmont not acceding to Austria’s demands, The Opinion, of Turin, announces that the ultimatum of Austria was precented to the Sardinian government on the evening of the 284 of April, It would therefore expire on the 26th, the day before the Anglo-Saxon sailed, and not on the 24th, as before reported. The Paris correspondents of the London journals tele- graphed on the 2€th ultimo that the Austriane were to enter Piedmont that day in threo divisions—one by Pavia and one by Margenta. The Piedmontese were to defend themselves at Setia, and there wait for the French, The three days allowed by Austria to Sardinia expired on the 26th ult., but nothing definite is known as to the reply given by the latter Power. A rumor was current that Austria had extended the time for consideration to four- ten days, and that she bad acceded to the final mediation of the English government. Those reports caused a rally on the stock exchanges on the 26th, which were in a most excited state. ‘The London Herald of the 27th is enabled to state that the government received, on the 26th, an official intimation of the acceptance by Austria of the mediation proposed by England. The French Legation at Vienna has recetved orders to quit the Austrian capital as soon as the Austrian arniy crosses the Ticino. FRANCE. ‘The Paris Montteur, in announcing the action of the Aus- trian government towards Sardinia, amd the fact that England and Russia had promptly protested against it, gives the following official information ag to the disposition of the various OOMMANDS OF THE FRENCH ARMY.

General Castellane is to be Commander-in-Dhief of the army of Lyons. Baraguey d’Hilliers is to be commander of the first corpe @armée of the Alps, General McMahon of the second, Marshal Canrobert of the third, and General Niel of the fourth. Piince Napoleon will command the corps of pioneers, and General Randon is appointed Major General of the Army of the Alps. MM. de Persigny and Iethouvend were cach spoken of } 28 likely to suececd the Duke of Malakof’ in London, General Niel left Paris on the 24th, to take command of the corps @armée allotted to him. ‘The Patrie says the Kmperor and Prince Napoleon will Teave on Wednesday evening, the 27th, to join the army. The aide-de-camp who wil] accompany them have already been appointed.

(Translated from tbe Paris Puys (April 16) for the New York Heraw.} According to a leter from China of the 28th of January, the intercourse between the Japanese government and foreigners continued to increase in the most satie(actory wavner, the Emperor bad juat published an important edict, the object of which was to extend the concessions reguiting from the treaties with the Europeans. Inia edict appoints the several cities in which the foreigners are author'zed to reside. viz:—Jedilo, the capi tal cl ibe. Empire, Negerabic Seaa Korte, Mea, Ketsi, Tekamutei, Hakodadi and Matsumo. The right residence is subject, in several cities, to particular regula- wens. Thus, in Jedto, certain quarters are alone as- signed for the dwel ings of the foreigners. This exception is not to be applica to the ambassadors, ard ro easily be understood. A more significant fact ja that the foreigners are authorized to temporarily reside at Mijedo, which 1s the “hoiy city” of Japan, and iu which nobody had, until now, becn allowed to go. It will only be allowed at certain periods of the year, when the foirs take place, and in no case will the foreigners be authorized to reside there during the great feasts of the Worebip. the doiri—the apiritual sovercien of Japan— and the priests reside in Mijedo, near which is the great Temple of the Sun. Since the treaty with Eogland seve- ya) important English mercantile houses have settled in Japan, and bave already ne their operations. Oae of them, foundea tn Hakodadi, has received a cargo of cot- top goccs, manufactured in view of the Japancse trade, and bas made very food bargaina in exchanging them for natural producis of the country. The Eaglish look upon Japan ag an excellent market for them, and before two years they wili have numervus establishments there. ‘The departure of the Japanese steam jank Niphon, which arrived from Macao, bas been quite @ great event.
