      FRANCE . The Budget ii , is may be expected , the principal topic with the Paris papers . It is superfluous to notice the commentg of the . Ministerial Press , as their aoiojute approval of all financial as sell as political measures of the government is a waiter of course ; and ths opinions of the Conatilntionrier and « Patrie , ' as in some sort the Laureats of antbority , mig ht have been guessed beforehand , li appears Lowe * er , that the budget of 1853 will he submitted to the sanction of the representative body . The modification of the tax on wines has caused general discontent .

      The Fives fell on Friday forty centimes below par . This te a very grave symptom of the risk incurred by the precip itate conversion of that rente before the market was prepared for so low a rate of interest as four and a half per cent . The fall is probabl y traceable to the eagerness evinced by the small rentiers for re-imburseraent , and the apprehension that they will be kept out of their money an indefinite period . On Saturday the Bourse was a little better , probably owing to a communique in the Moniteur , ' which is calculated greatl y to re-assure the remiers who apply to the Treasury for re-imbursement . If the re-imliorsement is to be effected by series such rentiers are , in fact , premised five per cent , up to the moment of their

      being paid off . Another circumstance seems to have operated in g iving a lift to the Bourse . It is reported that Fould is going to return to office . Another report is , that the Bank lias offered to lend the Treasury a hundred millions of francs at four and a half per cent . There was much talk , however , aliout the damage inflicted on tontine societies by the decree of conversion . All such companies are obli ged to invest the capital contributed in fire per cent , stock . The retail trade and ali manufactories which supply the home demand , find that grave financial anxiety has been caused by the decree for the conversion of the rentes . Every one says that his revenue being diminished one tenth , he is obliged to purchase only what is strictly necessary .

      The Ojileass Property . —The appeal on the case of M . Bocher has been before the Court of A ppeal . The first judgment , b y which M . Bocher was merely fined 500 ' ., was quash * d , and he was sentenced to a month ' s imprisonment and 200 f . fine . The judgment which sentenced the other defendants , MM- Dabief and Malzy , to a fine of 150 f . was confirmed . M . Odillon Barrnt again appeared for the defence , ar . a produced much efftct by bis treatment of the q uestion of right at issue between him and the Procureur of the Republic , bat no report of his speech has been allowed to be published . M . Bocher has appealed to the Court of Cassation against the sentence .

      The announcement of the amal gamation of the Bordeaux , Kaate 3 , Central , and Orleans lines was unfavourably received at the Bourse , and the fall in the shares of those companies was in a great measure attributed to it . The general opinion seemed to be that the creation of 96 , 000 new shares by the Orleans company was not very compatible ¦ min the present high price of 1 , 5 > 00 . It was thought , also , notwithstanding statements to ihe contrary , that ' further calls would necessarily be made upon the Bardeaux shareholders to make up the requisite capital for all the works proposed to he undertaken . M . Emile Girardin has written to the President of the Republic to suspend for a short time the order for his expulsvhi , as he is de&inras of returning to Paris on family affairs . The death ofAI . Girardin ' s mother-in-law is no doubt the cause of Lis application . In reply to his letter M . Emile de Girardin received I » 3 passport for Paris .

      The President ' s Successor . —The Paris correspondent of the « Times' says : — ' It is known that the President of the Republic intends to deposit with the Senate , with all due forms of solemnity , a scaled paper with the ncme of the jierson whom he would desire to recommend as his successor . It is much doubted whether any one has as yet been selected , and as his thoughts have recently turned towards a matrimonial condition , it is not unlikel y that he hopes be shall bs enabled to fix on some name still closer in relation with himself lhaa any other . ' Another 'Government' Piot . — The 'Patrie announces , on the authority of private correspondence , that the secret societies are endeavouring to reconstitute theraaelre 3 ic the sonth , and that a report is propagated of the probability of an insurrectional movement in that part oi the country ; that Lyons appears to be the central point to

      which the orders ' coaiiug from London , Paris , and Geneva converge ; * and that orders have been given from the Police Department to prevent those scattered associations from again uniting . It adds that a depot of powder and ball has been discovered at Csen b y the authorities . It is shrewdly guessed that this announcement is more for the object of palliating the continued severities of the government agents , or justi ' ying future measures of rigour , than anything else . The Siecle' announces that M . Clemeat Thomas , Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard of Paris during the insurrection of June . 1818 , and who has resided in seclusion in the Bordelais sine ? the suppression of the Constituent Assembly , has received notice to quit France within ei ^ ht days . Several inhabitants of the G ronde have received similar orders , among others , MM . Simiot , an ex-Constituent , and Belot de Minieres , Judge of the Tribune at Bordeaux .

      Oa Sunday the President held a review , when he presented several officers , non-commissioned officers and privates with the Cross of the Legion of Honour , or the new decoration , consisting of a medal entitling the wearer to receive a pension of 100 f . for life . At this presentation he seized the opportunity of reminding the public of one of the most important features of his usurpation , namely , the supreme military tank which the Prince has attributed to himself is the new order of things . Thus he speaks of his love for the great military family of which he is proud to be the head . In expressing his regret for the small resources at the disposal of the government far recompensing the services of ihe army , Laws Napokon involuntarily reminds the Trorld of the sacred lights of property on which he has tramped to filch the means of feeding his pretorians with lareesEes .

      M . Gafney , chief editor of the 'Journal au Havre , ' has been expelled from France . ^ Three hundred and thirty-ei ght prisoners have just arrived in Paris from the Nievre , and are about to be transparted to Lambessa . Among them are M . Lenoir , the assistant to the Mayor of Clamecy , and M . Moreau , a barrister of that town . ^ M . Parsigny has written a circular to the prefects , directing them to proceed es soon as possible to the formation of new tribunals of commerce , pursuant to the recent decree . The judges of these tribunals are in future to be etected by assemblies of notables , such as were created in 1807 . The notables are to be chosen by the prefects . The Circular recommends them to select the notables from among merchants enjoying an extended commercial reputation , giving a preference to the heads of the oldest souses .

      The'Times ' correspondent says that General Cavi gnac had resolved not to avail himself of the position he is placed in by the electors of the third districtofParis , but that bafore doing so he was inclined to consult some of his exiled friends , particalarly General Lamorieiere and Bedeatl , on the subject . He accordingly applied for a passport to proceed to Belgium . He was informed that the passport was at his disposal whenever he thought proper ; but it was at the same time intimated that he would find the frontier closed against him on his return . He is said therefore to have abandoned that idea ; but it is not believed that he ¦ will take his seat or the oaths . M . Hofer Mulhouse , who was condemned to transportation b y the Hi gh Court of Justice of Versailles has received a free pardon from the President of the Republic and is again at the head of his manufactory The ' Bulletin de Paris' says

      shi p of Louis Napoleon . Honour to the Belg ian jury for haviag done their duty thoroughly . Nex t to the citizens who voted Cavaignac and Carnot into the 'Corps Legislatif , theirs is the credit of having dealt the severest punishment of public opinion on the dictatorship of the 2 nd of Dacember . Lord Cowley , accompanied by the Belg ian minister , has paid a visit " to Count Turgot , the Minister of Forei gn Affairs . The object of this diplomatic interview seems to have been two-fold . In the first place , explanations were , it is understood , demanded with regard to the attitude and intentions of France toward * Belicium , and , secondl y

      with regard to the reported design of proclaiming the empire on the 5 th of May , the anniversary of the Emperor ' s death . On the first point the answers of Count Turgot were considered satisfactory . As to the other subject the . Count said that France was the only proper judge of what Government suited her best ; that the President had reserved to himself the rig ht of appealing to the nation on questions touching changes in the form of Government ; and that experience had proved that such appeals would be answered by the universal assent of France . The govern , raent could not admit the pretensions oi any forei gn , power to meddle with such questions .

      The departmental journals reveal a process of deportation perfectly frightful . We give but two instances : letters fr o m Bri gnolles ( Var ) state that 1 , 000 parsons engaged in the insurrectionary movement of the Basses-Alpes , in December last , and who were sentenced to transportation , have passed through that town in detachments of 100 each . They were on their way to Toulon , where ships of war were waiting to receive them . Eighty-four persons of the department of the Meuse , ordered for transportation to Cayenne or Lambessa , arrived in Paris on Tuesday . Amongst them are an ex-sub-prefect , three advocates , and two schoolmasters . Most of the prisoners belong to Tout , Me t z , and Nancy . It appears it is to Lambessa , in Africa , and not to Guayana , that M . Miot , the ex-representative , is to be transported .

      GERMANY . PRUSSIA . —Berlin . —The First Chamber has been diecussing the complaints raised against the government treatment of the German Catholics' and its free com . raunities . ' The charter guarantees to all sects the free exercise of their reli gion . The government has , however , forbidden all parish authoritiea to allow the sects ill question the use of any church , put their meetings under the club law , and sent constables to watch proceedings , with power arbitrarily to disperse the assembly ; it has refused to

      recognise the validity of marriages after the rites of those sects ; and fined the preachers for baptising , burviner , confirming , and the like , as an illegal assumption of ecclesias lical functions . The plea raised by the government in justification of its course is that the sects in question are not religions societies . ' inasmuch as they repudiate every notion that forms the basis of religion . Some parties are displeased with this interpretation , and call it forced . But what other could they expect from a power which has all the force in its own hands ?

      . A bill for allowing the establishment of private country banks has been ¦ rejected by the committee of the Second Chamber , because the commissioner of the royal bank insisted that such banks should not be allowed to intreRch on the monopoly of the government bank by taking deposits at interest . A pretty state of things for a country pretending to have enlightened notions on political economy . The committee of finance has reduced the proposed newspaper stamp duty by one-naif ; the highest rate for a daily sheet of more than 800 square inches , would be seven shillings and sixpence a year , or about one-third of a penny per number .

      BADEN . —Advices from Carhruhe , of 21 st inst ., represent the Grand Duke of Baden to be on the point of death . Bremen , March 19 . —From this day tbe constitution is abolished . The Senate , which held a sitting yesterday , has jmt published the resolution of tbe Germanic Diet of the 6 th of March , by which that assembly adopted tbe modifications proposed by the Senate . It consequentl y repeals the constitution , and announces the grant of a nev ? fundamental law . It is stated that the question of the succession to the throne of the Grand Duch y of Baden has been settled , and that the Pdnce Frederic will be summoned to the Grand Ducal office .

      AUSTRIA . —Count Clam-Gallas bas issued a proclamation Which shows that the population of Bohemia is still in a state far from tranquil . Secret societies , the commandant says , yet exist in g reat numbers ; and unlawful aud unauthorised writings , such as revolutionary proclamations , addresses , and comments upon pnhlic affairs , circulate , chiefly in manuscript , among the people . The public is reminded that the mere possession of such documents is a crime punishable by the courts-martial with imprisonment and hard labour for a year . The Vienna courts-martial are still sitting , and , in the week ending March 15 , sentenced twenty persons , convicted of petty offences deemed political , to various imprisonments of from seven days to four months , diversified with blows with a rod , blows with a stick , fasts , and irons .

      The ' New Prussian Gazette , ' after having been seized four times within these few days , is now prohibited the Austrian dominions . The writers have maintained the cause of the extreme right party in Austria in opposition to Prince Schwarzenberg , and vigorously assailed that minister ' s German commercial policy—henca the prohibition . The Austrian correspondent of the 'Times' states that the Hungarian Coramwtfie had left Vienna in high dudgeon . The Cabinet , he says , steadil y refuses to make concessions which could in the course of time militate against the unity

      of the Empire , and the Hungarian nobles will never support or serve a government whose professed aim is to reduce Hungary to the level of a common Austrian province . ' The machinery of government cannot work' say the Hungarians , ' as Ion ? as the vis inertia of the nation clogs its " wheels , and this will always be the case until its just demands are granted . ' The government , adds the correspondent , is playing a hazardous game , and many experienced politicians are of opinion that the chances are against its winning ; they even prophecy that the finances will be the downfall of the present adrainistralion , and possibly of the Empire .

      WURTEMBERG . —The conflict which threatened to arise between Ihe executive power and ihe Chambers of Wurtemberjr . on the subject of the fundamental right proclaimed at Frankfort for all Germans , has been averted . The Second Chamber , in its sitting of the 15 th adopted by a majority of 53 against 33 , the government bill declaring the fundamental ri ghts then and henceforth abolished as concerned Wurtemberg . Tbe second clause of the bill , tending to re-establish tbe restrictions on tbe jews which existed before 1848 . was rejected by a strong majority . The government promised to submit to tbe legislature propositions conceived in a spirit of liberality towards the Hebrew population .

      ITALY . PIEDMONT . —A letter from Turin states that after thp late division in the Chamber of Deputies , which gave the ministry a majority of only two upon the question of a credit to be granted for the fortifications of Casale , M Delia Marmora , the Minister of War , offered his resi gnation but withdrew it at the earnest request of his colleagues . Mr . Mather , the young Englishman who was cut down by an Austrian officer at Florence , was at Genoa on the 15 th inst . The Genoa Gazstte' states that his face is marked with a large scar .

      SPAIN . Advices from Madrid , dated the 17 th , state that tbe Spanish government was about to send reinforcements to Cuba ; also that the negociation of the treaty on international copyright between France and Spain , which had been abandoned , was resumed .

      TURKEY . A . telegraphic despatch , dated Zara , March 14 tb , states tha t a force of 1 , 70 . 0 men hail been marched into Liono , where the Greeks and Catholics were disarmed , aDd al ) the clergy with two principal men out of every canton seized and imprisoned . A Proclamation was issued , threatening with death all persons except Turks who should secret armB . Trav e llers , even those possessing Austrian passports , f ound grea t difficul t y in making their journeys . Many Christians , their means exhausted by the soldiers quartered upon them , wander about without shelter . The despatch conveying these particulars comes through an Austrian medium .

      MALTA . The Malta post brings the news of Admiral- Dundas having relieved Admiral Parker in the command of the Mediterranean fleet . Admiral Dundas hoisted his flag on board the Britannia . He at once Bent off reinforcements to the Channel fleet . There now remain in the Mediterranean only the Trafalgar , Bellerophon , Modeste , Scourge , Sp iteful , and Britannia .

      UNITED STATES . By the royal mail steam-ship Africa , Cap t ain Harrison , we have advices from New York to the 10 th inst . Shortly after the arrival of the Royal mail steam-ship America at Boston an attempt to smuggle twenty-nine packages of lace ashore was prevented by the Custom-house officers , who captured the goods . An investigation showed that the guilty party was one of the head waiters . On the 8 th a warrant was issued , and the America taken possession of , to be afterwards given up to the agents on their entering into bonds for her value . A steward named Biekley had absconded .

      Ihe renewed attempt at a trial of the Cuban expeditionists was made on the 8 th inst ., when the" day was occup ied in empannelling the jury and the opening statement of counsel . It is expected that the investigation will develop some interesting circumstances connected with the contemplated invasion of Cuba , and , altogtther , as a state proaeciHion , the trial will be one ol the most important ever brought before tbe United States courts , whatever may be the result . The Vera Cruz papers are still filled with particulars of the disasters caused by the late gale . The remains of the Robert Stevenson have been found on the shore at Coatzacoalcos , as well as several planks marked 'Robert Spedden . ' Another American vessel is said to have been lost , too ; but no name is given .

      The accounts from Northern Mexico are very conflicting . News from the Rio Grande reached Orleans on the 6 ih inst . , to the effect that Ciravsjal had attacked and captured Camargo . and was then closel y besieging Mataraoras . A private despatch of a later date confirms the defeat of Caravajal in in his attack on Camargo . He had only 522 men , 84 of whom were MexicaiiB ^ and the balance ' fillibustero . ' Most of them escaped to the ' American side of the river . The Empire City had brought to New York one month s later intelligence from Chile . It appears that there lias been a revolution amon g ihe state prisoners confined at the Straits of Magellan ; which is the Botany Bay of the Chilian Republic , and that the revolutionists have seized two American vessels .

      Late fdvices from Santa Fe represent the country as being in a great state of excitement , in consequence of the murderous depredations of the Indians . Even the government troops , wh o are t oo few in numb e r t o defend th emsel ves , let alone protecting tbe settlers , are killed by the Apach e s , whenever an opportunity occurs .

      The Dearth in Prussia . —The military magazines of corn and flour in the provinces being well-stocked , have received orders so sell considerable quantities in case of need where the dearth is greatest . DRsrRucTiira of RHBiNAKDSBauNN . —The palace of Rheinardsbrunn , the favourite residence of the Duke of Saxe Cobarg Gotha r brother of his Royal Highness Prince Albert , was burned to the ground on the night of the 14 th . The edifice was situated in one of the most charming spots of the Thuringian Forest , and occupied the site of an ancieut monastery . It was not long since built at great cost in tbe old German styl < % and contained treasures of art and antiquity of .. untold value . The disaster was purely acci . dental .

      Rcyai , Bask op Australia . —Advices fro m Australia just received represent the tragic end of Mr . Benjamin Boyd , the . founder and managing director of the sffairs of this bank abroad . It appears that the unfortunate gentleman , with some of his men , was seeking captute of tor . toises in the South Seas , when , it is reported , a dispute arose between the cannibals , or natives , and the crew , and that Mr . Boydjperisheii in the fray . Constantinople . — The 'Austrian Lloyd ' s' states from Constantinople that a serious difference has arisen between the auihoritiea of Janina , in consequence of some acts of violence towards a French subject . The Austrian and British Consuls took part with the Consul of France , It is added that the Sultan had sent two of his officers to Janina to inquire into and make a report on this affair .

      A fashionable dressmaker living near the Place Vendome , Paris , Mdlle . F , caused , a few days ago , an eag le bearing a crown to be painted on the windows of her shop . The next day mud and filth were thrown on it , and this was repeated the following day also . On Tuesday evening a ball , apparently discharged from an air gun , knocked the window to p ieces , aud penetrated some wood-work , near which the dressmaker was seated . Fortunatel y she was not touched . Some persons , » ho happened to be passing , immediately went in pursuit of the aggressor , but were not able to discover him . The same night a fire broke out in the bedroom of the dressmaker , but it was soon extinguished . The loss of the Austrian steam corvette Marianne , in the Adriatic , is confirmed beyond doubt . Eighty persons among whom was Baron Kubeck ' s son , perished in her '

      The distress in Germany is somewhat alleviated . An official journal in East Prussia notifies that large supplies of rye are lying on the banks of the Mench , from Kowno to Russian Georgebourgb , and will soon come to the relief of the districts where dearth is felt . Iu the Berlin cornmarket there has been a great fall of prices since the thaw , which has opened the canals and facilitated the transport of supplies . A letter from Constantinop le , from a well-informed party , writing on the 3 rd inst ., says that Austria was reported to have demanded from the Porte a cession of territory , as indemnification for injury sustained through the assistance g iven to the Hungarians during the late war .

Workmen are employed until near midnight upon both of these vessels , as also upon the outht of the steam-fngate Mississippi . This last-named vessel is now at Philadelphia , having her machinery thoroughly overhauled and repaired ; all her other work is to bo done here . She is intended for the flag ship of Commodore P « rry In addition to the usual complement of small arms ,, she will be provided with 120 stands of muskets , and tho same number each of pistols , outhssea &c . ; she will take an equal number extra for the steamfrigate Susquehanna , now in those seas , and which is to form one of the squadron .

It was thus that the Emjrei . in 1847 , under the pretence of recovering her health fixed her residence at Olivuzza , near Palermo . The conseouen ™

      oi tnat imperial bad health was an alliance with the Kine of Naples , who thereby was sufficiently strong to brave Eogland and the Italian revolution . An extraordinary fete was given towards the close of the carnival at the Carcano Theatre , la order to escape the vigilance of gubaltern spiee , the price of tfee tickets was fixed at ten livres , and with the view to exelKdethe white warriors ( the Austrian ) it was agreed not to admit armed persons . Two officers having presented theaaelveB , were invited to deposit their swords ; they refused , and withdrew .
