The edict relative to the tax on property has caused a great sensation upon the Exchange. The course of exchange fell to 410; hut the competition of all these who wished to chauge their paper has caused it to fie, again. SEPT. 12. The two Letters Patent relative to the Tax for the extuto:!on of the public debts, and of the paper money, !me just appeare.i. In the first, with re spect to the tlx on real property, the State declares, Chet it .tands in need of the tenth of the properly of all it, subjezts; but it grants them permission to pay this contribution in fifteen equal portionti, from year to year, with con-islerable deduction, to such as shall make gni d these payments in the first eighteen mouths. The object of this con tribution is ta ofold—the extinction of the paper money, and the payment of such of the debts of the State as bear interest. But in order to relieve the most pressing ,rants, the Government promises to employ the produce of the tax during the first five years only in the extinction of the paper-money ; during the last ten years, nice-tenths shall be des tined to the saute object, and the remaining tenth only be employed in diminishing the mars of the thins of the State. The tax upon moveable property is to be paid in the space of five years, ronnnencing with the tat of November IBM ‘Vliulesale merchants, and other merchants not belonging to corporations, are • excepted ; they shall pay their contingent within two years. The produce of the tax on moveable property is exclusively reserved for the extinction of the paper-money. It is calculated, dist the tax upon land alone in the Hereditary States will produce, in bank notes, a sum of 530 millions of florins (1,t250 millions of francs). The other branches of the tax will pro duce at least an equal slim ; so that the State will ac quire at least one thousand millions of florins. Hun gary, which contains seven millions of inhabitants, is not subjected to this tax ; and in the mean time we wait to see what the Hungarians will do fur the common country. . .

There has been pubttalted a Collection of all the R-ports, Lettere, and Elucidations, relatnre to the illness Ind death of the late Crown Prince, received by the Royal Medical College ; among which the most remarkable are two Memoirs by Professor Lodin, who offeri hit reasons why b• is inclined to ascribe the death of the Prince to poison admi nistered to hitn • hy some person or persons. The puisou he conjectures to have been of that kind known to the Italians by the name of aqua tojana ; and though he does not profess to be acquainted by experience with the symptoms produced by that poi son, he conceives that those which attended the ill ness of his Highness, previous to his death by apn plexy, were such as might well be expected to be produced by the operation of some secret and slow poison of that kind. !BRA. aut.ir SECOND lIATTICHUI OR, A PROCLAMATION WRITTEN BY Till SULTAN.
