Our Paris papers are now very tnu.b
taken up with the new minister of tbe
1 inted states at tbe Court ol the Tuileriee.
The Debut*, one of our best edited papers,
suspected of lieiug rather opposed to ihe
present dynasty and friendly to tbe exiled
family of Orleans, writes as follows:
General Dix is a moderate democrat,
that is to say, admitting slavery iu the
South, but appiovtug ita extension to the
other territories, be joined the L uioaist
cause after the taking of Fort Sumter by
the secessionists and received tbe com
mand of tbe military department of New
York. After tbe fall of Jefferson Davis,
General Dix's opinions became more iu
conformity with the policy of President
Johnson. This change was especially re
marked in the funeral oratiou of Ikiuglas,
which he was selected to pronouuce, Rind
by his accepting tbe presidency of the
convention at Philadelphia. Dike all tbe
politicians of his party, he is a decided
partisan of the Monroe Doctrine. Gener
, 1 Dix has, says the “Debats,”been repre
sented as not very friendly to France,
but wc believe bis opinions ou the point
have been singularly misrepresented; bis
part,ou the contrary, seems to indicate as
well as his intellectual cultivation, and
bis (terfeet knowledge of the French lan
guage,gained during long travels In Europe,
i states in au auxious to re-establish the
ancient ties of the United States with
France. The French paper recalls a
speech made by tbe Genera) in 1846, It
Was as follows i
“It w mid be uuworthy of us as a peo
ple to feei only a passing atTectiou for
France. Did shouot sustaiu us iu the most
critic 1 moment of our struggle for iude
peiidence, and render us the most esseiitiui
service by her co-operatiou aud words. —
Wi re not the swords.of Washington and
Lafayette drawn ou tbe same buttle fields?
iiave not our mountains ami plaius been
uioisteued by Ihe generous blood of France.
The name Koebouibau de Grasse and D
Lstaing are identified with every phase of
our struggle for freedom. They have lx
come iu some sort American, and we cite
them v illi pride to our children as brave
men wl .-e brilliant a*.turns have render
ed Ibeir memory Imperishable.”
I'iee f> ate goes on to give us some vu
tertaiuing extracts of works published by
Gtneral Dix, entitled a“Wint€riu Madei
ra, and a “ Bummer in Spain aud at 1 lor
enee.”
Our papers haw for the last t*-U days
Ik)mlively attlrmed that telegrams have
been received via New York, that the
young Emperor had abandoned Mexico,
and that bisahdkatiou was imminent. —
There 1b a great panic amongst the Mes-
Kau bondholders who now pretty well see
that there is every likelihood of th ir se
curities being one day or other only tit
for the grocer or cheese monger. The
b use of IJapsburg has been sorely tried
of late. Misfoi tuues uever ootue singly.—
The news which will be transmitted to
Mexico from Mirauion w ill not i>e of a ua
tine to comfort tlie Arcb Duke iu the hour
of trial, for our correspondent in Triest
writes us that the state of-the Empress of
Mexico’s health is not so satisfactory as it
was lately. Ller majesty has not been
completely dispossessed ot the idea that
there is a wish to poison her; she stiil re
fuses the drinks ottered, although she eats
the food prescribed. To the chimerical
ideas to which such an abstention give
rise to, others have l>eeu added, the origiu
of which are deplorable, and which require
no less precaution to combat. The inter
estiug daughter of the late luuieuted King
of the Belgians has the tixedidea that the
persons who surround her, uo longer have
the saute attachment for her as formerly.
This fancy urges her to distrust every oue.
The hopa eutertafued of her speedy re
covery is destroyed by these late symp
toms, and her malady tvlll probably be
a long one. Uowever the doctors have
expressed the opiuiou that most likely a
crisis will occur iu tlio (vturse of a month,
and then they will l>e iu a position to pro
nounce decidedly.

Holly Lodge, Kensington, London, \
May 23d, 18-57. /
T>ear Sir: * .* * * You are sur
prised to learn that I have not a high
opinion of Mr. Jefferson—and I am a little
surprised at your surprise. lam certain
that I uever wrote a line and that 1 never
in Parliament, in conversation, oreveu on
the hustings—a place where it is the fash
ion to court the populace—uttered a word
indicating an opinion that the supreme
authority in a Btate ought to he entrusted
to tbe majority of citizens told by the head
iu other words to the poorest and most ig
norant part of society. I have long been
convinced that institutions purely demo
cratic must, sooner or later, destroy Liber
ty, or civilization, or both.
Iu Europe, where the population is
dense, the. effect of such institutions would
be almost instantaneous. What happened
lately in France is an example. In 1848,
a pure democracy was established there.—
During a short time there was reason to
expect a general spoliation, a nationa
bankruptcy, anew partit.on of the soil, a
maximum of prices, a ruinous load, of tax
ation laid upon the rich for the purpose ot
supporting * lie poor iu idleness. Buell a
system would, in twenty 3 ears,
France as poor and barbarous as the France
of the Carlovingians. Happily the danger
w’as averted and now there is a despotism,
a sileut tribune, an enslaved press. Lib
erty is gone, hut civilization has been s iv
ed. I have not the smallest douot that, it
we bad a purely democratic government
here, tbe effect would be the same. Either
tbe poor would plunder the rich,and civ
ilization would perish, or order and pros
perity would be saved by a strong military
government, and liberty would perish.
You may think that our country enjoys
au exemption from these evils. I will
frankly own to you that I ara of a
different opinion. Your late I believe to
L»e certain, though it is deferred by a phy
sical cause. As long as you have a bound
less extent of fert le and unoccupied land,
your laboring population of the old world;
>.od, while that is thec.ee the J-.fTerson
ian p-dicy may continue to e*n.t v .anenrr
causing any fatal calamity, iiut the time
will come when New England wdil be ue
thickly peopled as Old England. Wages
will be as low, and v/Ul tluctuate as muon
with you as with us. You will have youi
MaiK'hesters and Birmingham*; and in
those Manchester* and FL rmiugham:
huudre-ls of thousands of artisans will as
suredly be sometimes out of work The!
your institutions will be fairly Drought to
tbe test. Distress everywhere makes ihe
laborer mutinous and discontented, ana
inclines him to listen wiut esgeioers h
agitators who tels him that it is a inon
strous iuiquit that one should have
a million wnlic another caunot get a !uL
meal In had years there is plenty, o:
grumbling here, anti s onetime* a little
riotiug. But it matters little. For lu r*
the sufferers arc not the rulers. The su
preme power is in the bauds o! a class,
numerous indeed, hut select-, or ail educat
ed class—of a class which is, and knows
itself to be, deeply interested in thesecuri
ty of property aiul the inalnte arice of or
der Accordingly, the in a’con tents are
firmly, yet gently, restrained. The bad
time is got over without robbing the weal
thy to relieve the indigent The springs
of national prosperity soon begin to flow
again; work is plentiful; wages rise; and
all is tranquillity and cheerfulness i
[ have seeu England pass three or four
times through such critical seasons as I
I have described.
Through such seasons the United States
will have to pass, in tlie course ot tire
next eeutury, if not oflhis. How will you
pass through them? I heartily wish you
a goi>d deliverance. But my reason ami
my wishes are at w ar, aud I can’t help
foreboding tire worst.
It is quite plain that your Government
will never be aide to restrain a distressed
and discoutended majority. For with you
the majority Ist lie government, and lias
the rich, who art* always a minority, abso
lutely at its mercy. Time willcome whtn,
j n i),e Mate of New Y'ork, a multitude ot
people, none ot whom has had more than
half a breakfast, or expects to have more
than half a dinner, will chooee a legisla
ture. Is it possible to doubt what sort of
legislature will he ehoseu ? Ou oue side’s
a statesman preaching patieuce, respect
for vested rights, strict obeervanceof pub
lic faith. Ou the other is a demagogue
ranting about the fyrauuy of capitalists
aud usurers, aud asking why anybody
should be permitted to drink champagne,
aud to ride in a carriage, while thousands
of honest folks are in want of necessaries.
Which of the two candidates is likely
to be preferred by a w orking man who
hears his children cry for more bread ? I
seriously apprehend that yen wtt!. In
some such searou as I have described, do
things which will prevent prosperity from
returning , that you will act like a people
who should in a year of scarcity, devour
all the seed eoru, and thus make the next
year a year not of scarcity, but cf abso
lute famine. There will be, I fear, spolia
tion. The spoliation will Increase the
distress. The distress will produce fresh
spoliation. There Is uothing to stop you.
Your Constitution is all saii and no an
chor. As I said before, when a society
has eutered ou this downward progress
either civilisation or liberty must perish.
Either some Ctssar or Napoleon will seise
the reins of Government with a strong
hand, or your republic will be as fearfully
plundered aud laid waste by barbarians
in the twentieth century as the Homan
Empire was lu jhe fifth. with this differ
ence • That the Huns and Vandals, who
ravaged the Komau Empire, came from
without, and that your Hun. and Vau-
dais will have been engendered within
your own country by your own institu
tions.
I Linking thus, of course, 1 cannot reck
on Jefferson among hie hem factors of
mankind. I readily adroit tluff his
ions were good and his
able. Odious stories >, *-y bttp circulated
about his private life; but I do kno-w
--011 what evidence those stories r
ttiink it probable that they are false, or
monstrously exaggerated.' I have no
doubt that I shall deriv e both pleasure
and information from your account of

Financial Affairs.
The able report of the Beertßary of the
Treasury, to which we alludeu briefly yea
t rdav, in which fhfe pfropie *f all sectious
of the country are deeply interested, as it
gives information of tbe condition of tbe
nations finances and the probabilities ot
relief from the burden of taxation which
it. now' weighing and crushing every
jfius'rlal pursuit Tbe pressure upon our
columns forbids t)>e publication of bo
lengthy a document, and w must there
fore content ourselves with giving a brief
synopsis of tbe most important **»mrea of
the report. It states 1
“Tbe leceipts from all tbs ordinary
sources of revenue, independent of Joans,
for the fiscal year ending June .30, 1666,
were five hundred aud fifty-eight uiUlloua.
For tbe quarter ending September 30, *66,
the amount was one hundred and fifty
eight millions. The actual income exceeds
tlie estimates for tbe first tbreo quarters of
this year, begiuing lu Jauuary end ending
in. June, over ninety millions, and for tbe
following quarters in greater proportion.
The expenditures were two hundred
millions less than estimated for tbe fiscal
year. The enormous estimate of over three
iiundred millions was made for the War
Department before pea'v- >* u,s fully restor
ed, and while the bulk of tbe armies were
in service. The Department has expend
ed only aiiout one hundred and ninteea
millions, which makes nearly the differ
ence of iwy hundred millions between tbe
estimates and actual expenditures.
The balance iu the Treasury on October
Ist of this year was one hundred aud fo*
ty-twO IBlllaou*.
The public debt on June 30, 1860, lees
cash In the Treasury, $2,661,000,00). June
30, 1866, it was $2 050,000,000; showing a
net decline of $31,000 OK) for the year.
But four mouths after, that is, on October
3!, 1866, the debt was $-3,.Vj1,000,ij0Q, show
ing a decrease during these four months
of $09,000,000. With the present vast in
come of the government the debt would
necessarily continue to decrease more ra
pidly, because uearly al! the claims for
war expenses have been paid. But the
Secretary says; “It is not expected, Dor
is it desirable, perhaps, that tbe same
rate of reduction should t*e continued.”
He proposes to diminish tbe internal
taxes aud a modification of tbe tariff,
which will reduce the duties of itnporta
tions. He thinks the tariff should be so
revised as to remove tbe burdone 00 in
dustry, and especially upon that which
weighs ui*>u the production of raw mate
rials. The amountof revenue he w'ante it
only enough for au economical adminis
tration of the Goverament aud for reduc
in' irraduaily the principle of tbe na
uonal debt. He sunt --
live millions a month should lie applied lu
extinguishing tlie debt. Buthesays there
must be SMDomy, aud, a bow all, there
must be no additional donattoos to rail
roads and other oompauies. “The debt,”
he says, “can lie and should be paid by the
generation tuat oreated It,” and main
tain* that “a oa ioual debt is a severe bur
len aud a a severe strain 00 reisibhean
Institution'*.” It is proposed to issue
twenty years five per cent, bonds paya
hie iu England or Germany, to absorb
the six per cent, now held iu Europe.
lt *_g rets are expressed that Congre-s did
not g ve him more power to contract tbe
curreu y, He deciares lie has dono ail he
oou’d by withdrawing legal-tenders, but
the increase of the national batik currency
lias kept the amount of circulation raucb
as i ! was when he made his last report.—
He regards a “redundant legal-tender cur
rency as the prime cauee of our financial
difficulties.’’ He says specie payments
ought to be resumed, and could !>« by the
first of July, 1878, and he hopes the legi--
lation of Congress will be such ae to bring
it about earlier.
The most suggestive feature of the re
port is the remark, that the “speculative
interest, large aud powerful lu itself, ie
receiving daily new accessions of strength
by the increase of individual credits; and
when speculators and debtors control the
dnaueial policy of the couutry, a financial
t*illapse is inevitable.” lo proveut this
catastrophe, he reeorameuds a healthful
curtailment of the currency.— Samnnah
