The French troops are allowed only bread on home ser t•ice, at the rate of led. per ration. The meat is deducted from their pay ; on foreign service they have half a pound of meat tnd two pounds of bread. The F.ngli.h troops have a pound and a half of bread and one pound of meat war allowance. and one pound of bread and three quarters of a pound of meat in tim- of peace. The French soldier has 5 sob, or so. per day : the English soldier Is. 24t dit to himself for the merits of the work in the following terms : •s If the various objects and the extent of the collection be con sidered, it will, I believe, he acknowledged that no country ha. ever furnished an accumulation of administrative details so varied and so complete. I think it is well calculated to remove all the arising from the Ignorance of facts, to suggest useful views. and to form reasonable opinions on all subjects connected with the public affairs." Many of the facts disclosed in these volumes, four of which have now been presented to the public, will strike the English reader as somewhat extraordinary. For instance, there were born in Paris during the year 1826, the last to which the tables apply, 29.970 children, of whom 19,468, somewhat less than two-third', were born in wedlock ; and the same year, while the total number of deaths amounted to 25,341, 15,647 of them, or more than three• fifths, took place in the public 'hospital.. The number of deaths in hospitals, as compared with those which take plate in private houses, appears to be constantly increasing. On the average of the four years, immediately preceding 1826, it is as eight are to fifteen. And in regard to marriage, ft is a general inference from the whole of the tables, that every fourth person you meet in Paris is a bastard. " Suicide seems also to be making alarming progress. In 1824 there were 28; in 1825 and 26, the numbers had risen succesively to 40 and 49. It is the same with deaths arising front accidental violence. For the three years in question, they are 679, 712, and 810. " As to the natural deaths, the year 1825 was remarkable for the ravages of the small-pox, the number of victims having risen from 250 and 260, the usual number, to 2.193, as if the practice of vac cination had been abandoned. But if neglected for a time, the solicitude of parents had no doubt been awakened by the danger, as it appears that the number of gratuitous vaccinations, which in 1824 was only 1,620, bad risen during this utifortunata, 11125, to 3,047, and was maintained at 5.013 /luring tis 4 fol lowing year, although the evil had then ceased' it is sliwillOo by the Tables, that the small-pox is chiefly for Imo children of from one to three years of age. • " During the years alluded to, the number I l lths exceeded that of deaths by 13,184, from which a correipo ing increase of population might be inferred ; but the elements of a population composed like that of Paris are so numerous, so complicated, and so fluctuating, that it is extremely difficult to establish a datum on which perfect reliance can be placed. Thus to speak only of one cause of error, of about 50,000 children born every year in Paris, from 6,000 to 7,000 are condemned by nature to die within fifteen months of their birth; and for the most.part it is not in Paris, but with the nurses in the country that they die, and that their deaths are verified. On the other band, there arrive every year from the country and the provincial towns a number of individuals of mature age and strength. whose births do not appear in the Paris Records, and who, on an ge, attain to a good old age. " It is necessary in France, on account of a variety of adminis trative operations, to have a fixed and precise measure of the popu lation of each town and district, so as to maintain a certain definite proportion with other towns and districts, and the real uncertainty as to the fact is supplied by a legal fiction, approaching as nearly as possible to the truth. For the present t he legal population of Paris is 890.431. " There are then nearly 900,000 individuals whose daily sub sistence is to be insured, who are to be supported in weakness and solaced in misery, whose conduct is to be watched over, and their disorders repressed,and who are to be protected and defended against each other, and their state and condition guaranteed from their birth to their burial. " For the cure of souls there are 577 priests, but it is said that the number ought to amount to 764. The means of education appear to be ample and extensive. For primary instruction there are 80 charity schools, attended daily by 12,000 children of either sex ; besides 403 elementary schools, some gratuitous to the number of 112, the rest not gratuitous, but containing collectively 25,582 scholars. For instruction in the second degree, there are seven colleges and 118 boarding schools for boys, in which there are 7,669 scholars • and 329 boarding schools for girls, in which there are 10,240 sch olars. In the higher branches of education there are 20 public establishments, the great& part of which are main tained at the expense of the State, in which instruction is given by 317 professors, and received by 17,813 student.. Thus instructkn of various kinds is distributed daily to 73.222 young persons, amounting to about one-twelfth of the whole population of Paris. 0 On the other hand, to maintain order and security among this population there are 11 prisons, in which are constantly detained; for longer or shorter periods, about 3,400 malefactors ' or other offenders against the laws. To this number must be added proportion sent by Paris to the galleys at Brest, Toulon, and ltochfort, making an annual contingent of about 200 convicts. The public hospitals of Paris receive annually from 55,000 to 60,000 tick, and provide for from 18 to 20,000 foundlings, who receive immediate attention in the hospitals, and ate from thence sent to the country to nurse. These hospitals also provide for from 20 to 26,000 paupers, whether old and decayed or young and i assuring them and, clothing, and shelter, for the rest of their days. '1 hey receive also the insane, to the number of abort 800 per annum, the men being to the women in the proportion of about 330 to 50. a We are informed also, by the researches of AI. de Chahrol, that there was consumsol at Paris, during the year 1826. 81,250 oxen, 13,368 cows, 74,533 calve., 402,717 sheep, and 90,830 swine. making altogether 108,510,000 pounds of meat, and afford ing something less than six oz. to each individual per diem. " The taxes paid by the inhabitants of Paris to the rubric Trea sury are as tallow : MAIMS. Domain, Registration, or Land Tax .. ... 24,406,691 Customs and Salt Tat 1.598,876 Indirect Taxes, nearly equivalent to our Excise 24.406,221 Post Office • • • • • • .. 5.395,417 Lottery .. 6,975,877 Direct Taxes, nearly equivalent to our Assessed Taxes .. • • • • .. 23,377.137 Produce of tha Tax on Gaming Houses 6,500.000 Total .. • • .. 91,758,219 Equal in sterling money to about 3,670,0004 Fiom this state ment it appears that Paris alone pays rather more than one-tenth of the whole taxes of France; and that its inhabitants pay, one with another, 003 francs, or about 41. per annum, to the public ry, which is three and a half times as much as the propor tion paid by the rest of the inhabitants of France, whose public contributions are found, by these tables to amount only to twenty eight francs four centimes a head. in addition to these, public taxes, Paris levies on its own inhabitants a local or municipal tax, called au octrol, amounting to about tarty y-hve millions franc,, or 1,000,0001. sterling, which, divided among 900,000 inhabitants, gives 27 francs 70 centimes a head, so that the accessory tax in Paris is nearly equal to the whole amount of individual contribu tions in the departments : _ " A calculation, founded on the statements in these columns, makes the annual expenditure of the population of Paris amount to 894.034,193 francs, or about £35,760,t00, which gives 1020 francs 98 centimes, or rather more than £4O, a-head, as the annual ex penditure of each individual, out of which he pays something more than 12 pet cent, in public taxes and municipal contributions.
