From he -Neao York Enquirer.
Some cunous particulars are given 1B French periodical concerning the newspaper press in France. Of the ex- tent of circulation enjoyed by some of the principal journals, and of the profits that accure from them to their propgie- tors, a toierabie correct idea may be formed from what is said of the Coasti- tutionet. The number daily issued of that paper exceeds twenty two thous- and, and it is stated that the annual pro- hts amount to an average of T50,gog francs, or something less than I5O,000 dollars. The subscription price is 80 francs, per annunl, which, allowing no- thing for bad debts. would make the total yearly receipts amount to tfre enormous sum of one million seven hun dred and sixty thousand francs, or esti- mating the francs at eighteen cents, up wards of three hundred and sixteen thousand dollars. Among tie prinei- pal expenses Of the establishment. twen- fy thousand francs are set down as the average amount of the salary of a re- daeter CD ehleE or principal editor; like sum as the compensation ofthe sub- editors andabout seven thousand francs each to three reporters. The clrcula- ton and profits of American newspa- pers appear pitiful, indeed, in contrast with the foregoing estimates. A circu- lation of two thousand sheets daily Is an amount of business to which very few even of our principal and most ably conducted Journals arrive; and that paper IS considered to possess by no means a contemptibie share of public patronage which issues but half tllat number daily.
