Report has as s entWed.ussneils, and put into the mouths of the *row. the ultra absurd speeches ; this is only to be athibuted to ignorance, or to the waist of that ac urn?, to which gut events have ft:r some yens 5c.:1%4(4re%! us. At present, false reports ' are s, re aJ in .dse departments; they lilt so diserni o..:.: imiuietUdo amongst the acquires of naisnel property. They suppose that this prc'ptrty is to be s:haeged with a particular tax ; it is, therefore, at the present moment, that gover.ur.ent has thought proper so publish, in the united depaitments, the law - s relative to the sale of national property, for the purpose of increasing the revenue produced by shirt objea. We think it our duty to advise all good citizeas, particularly in the distant depart nients, who m.ty be more easily deceived, to pay no atter.tion to these suggestions. roe fi , -it duty of the French ptsple, and the first policy of the Re public, win be ever to nraiumin, nu:on:hod, and without any clistinition, the acquires of 1:61 . M.C1 popery. In fad, to have had confidence in the Re public, when it was astacked by all Europe, and to stave united its destiny and private interest with the destiny and getrd interest of the country, sill ever be considered as a meritorious aer by the I,2te and the people. In the department of Le Com tfOr, the most disastrous news is rJported, re. lative to the troops which lately embarked at Tow. ; on this suhjeB, we can assure the fathers of families, that this is equally false; they ought to be sensible, that the oisjoet of these insinuations is to .retard the progress of the conscription, which is at present levying in their department. It is not extra,.rdinary that our enemies should seek to foment. in the State all sorts of intrigues, and toexrite every kind isf inquietude and disunion. !t is the duty of good citizens to he upon their guard against their sug3estions. The enemies of onr repose ought, iu fact r to isehnld, with regret, the brave youths who by turns fly in crowds under our standards, to take the places of their elders ; some day they will march in their steps and imitate their conduct and bravery. In sonic departments of the ' IVest, it is reported that the Salt Az:" rill he re. established this year, and that discussions o this subject have. taken place in the Council of State.— he report is false. Whatever can most interest the departments of the West, which have suffered more than any others, will he long the special obje:11 of she Government's solicitude. We are in that situa dun that we bare no want of any increase of taxes; the Government is occupied in endeaveuring to di.. :ix:nil our exrafes,and not in adding to them. Mademoiselle Ci.

We yesterday received Paris papers up to the X instant.—Thry do nut contain any article of im portance, except one iii tl:e Moniour of the .Ist, which throws a refietted light upon the .internal state of France, for three months past.—lt gives us to understand, that, during - that period, attempts have been -made to excite distrust and jealunsy among the people, and render them discontented with the Government. Among the means used for the accomplishment of this ,purpose, it states, Re ports have been propagated, that it was the in tention of Government to introduce a tax, •which should attach exclusively upon the pumhatiets of National Property; and that the impost upon Salt was going to be revived in the Western Depart ments. .As a third mode, and we believe the most ealtual one, it mentions the circulation of the most disistrous news respeaing the troops lately embark ed at Toulon, a circumstance that shelvs how unpo pular the St. Domingo enterprize must be, and leads es to se7pose that the raisittg of forces for that ser vice has met a much mere scrious and general op position than the few loose accounts of the violent ccntlan!'t of the Conscripts, lately given in the Paris papers, would warrant. When the official paper thus deigns to admit that discontent exists in any de gree ; when it ad:nits that it exists; not only in the South but in the West, and reaches every purchaser of National Lomains, we may •fairly infer that such discontent is nut only general in its extent, but stlf .. ciently violent in a degree to alarm the Govern ment.
