This distress they ascribe, in some degree, to " excess of production;' but they (ratify this mercies by adding, „ It is the war mad.. on indastry, by heavy tares. that ruts us of from that wholeseme•commercial intercourse, which would se cure ample markets for oar goods, and yield employ ment to our suffering countrymen." This distress, fiscrever, is not all that Fresco at present suffers. and IBM embarrasses evmssercial . lotereourse. Prom ' Ilk distrust of Government, the system of para pets ii carried on with a jealousy and rigour which are most vexatious and oppressive. In the gorse of a discussion on the sums demeaded for the service of the Ministry of the Interior, it was asserted by Montioar Di GIRAZDIX.

That passports were only granted after informations had been taken respecting the mo rality. or In other words. the political opinions of these by whom they were dowsed,/ ; and that the Police, though it was in other bands, was conducted oa the same principles as before, with the same odious and intolerable activity."
