London, Saturday, July 3,...
The French papers of Wednesday, which arrived last night, contain the conclusion of the interesting debate on the expenses of the Spanish campaign, and'the extraordi- nary misranagemnent of the public money which distin- guished it. After all the orators who 'had inscribed their names to speak for or against the project of law for - granting the supplementary credits had finished, M. de MAWTIGNAC, the Reporter of the Commission, made his final summarv, and admitted, in the most un- qualified manrier, that there had been great extravagance and great dishone;ty in the expenditure of the public trea- sures auriug the war. le concluded by declaring, .bowever,..lhat Ministers, in the liquiation, of the ac- counts, would not pay what *ras manifestly unjust- that ineapacity.would be removed, and knavery punish- ed. Before the Chamber came to a- vote, M. de la BOURDONNAYE, the leader of the ijUtra opposition, asked Al. de VIrLLELE a few4questions,wbich led to the followving extraordinary admission on the part of the latter-that he tnarnely,M. dc VILLEL9) considered all the 'three Intend- ants employed successively duyin g the campaign, as positive 4naves or of suspicious honesty; that the first was Euilty the mecond gutilty, thouigh in a less degree' and itheth'ird, not entirjy free from corrupt conduct. These three Intenti- antg, aceording to tle order in which M. de VILLELE wish- ed to apply his censure, are U. SICAtRD, M. REGNAULT, gnd3M. .fOSN*LE Theop'positibn lcader,whIle he adnitted their ,ommon corruption, dissented from tlhe justice of this graduation of the scale, and declared his conviction, that -if the first was liabe to reproaches, the second was More guilty, and the tlird a thousand times more thana the second. But anotlher question of M. tie la BoURDo-J,*AYE led to ainore extraoTriinary avowval Still, on the part of the P4inister of Finance-namely, that this guilty second In- tendant,} M. REGNAU LT, is now the auditot of his own dis- hbonest accounts, alnd is actually sitting at the head of a, cominission at Thoulouse, passing the very bills whiclh AWttMt VIorrnpt conduct. TbiS avowal, 'which waa drawn relu .y from M- de&VILLELE, and only after' DAitXs, the Nituister of WVar, had been appealed to, struck the Chamiber with astonishnient. It did not, however, prevent thepassi6g.-0fthe pojecrtof-law, xvhinh wasaadopted by a ma-. jorityof ,jSto sj, We have often had jobs at home, 'but we can scarcejy match the French Commnissariat jobs in Spain.
