We still owe this effort to oar fidelity to treaties. It will comgikie a erg ql iwerifices whirls will net be less celebrated nor less glorious, per hops, Mom that of our victories. You will judge by the details which I am going to lay before you, how the excess of certain contributions is farther aggra vated by the defects of that distribution—whilst the other branches of the public revenue remains lan guishing and unproductive, agriculture requires as sistance, indmtry encouragement, commerce protec tiou—that trams a►e felt every where. Such is France. as thirty years of war have made her. Nothing is warded to restore her to her for mer eclat, than a long peace, daily efforts, and the patriotic devotion of the present gewemtion of Frenchmen to the happiness' of those who Mall come after them. Full of confident in this generous sentiment, I do not hesitate to present to you a statement of the charges which we shall have to impose upon us to meet this long series of expenses which have been enumerated by the Honosindsle Reporter who has preceded me. I proceed to state the heads ofthe The Am chapter is the statement of the service or the year.lB 18. The Politic Debt and else Sinking Funds amount to 1.883,782,000 frolics. The ex penses of 'ordinary service are 894,400.000 francs; those of extraordinary service are 91 1,468.009 Presses. The total waisted is nearly Nitre isnedred end seventylos snilliens.• To meet this we have the following Ways and Illeuns :—The direct eon.. tributions, its principal and additional centimes, 343,000,000—Customs. 83,000,000, &c.—making she total revenue seven hundred and fifty-three millions four Anndred end ninety-eight tlunteand /runes. It follows of consequence that recourse must be had to loans to procure the difference, which is 4220,000,000. In proposing a registry of lands with a view to a more equal laud:tax, I know'! touch upon a delicate %object. A very productive branch of revenue, as it amounts to six millions, had not yet figured in the Budgets. It is the receipts of the Ministry of General Police, viii.-Ist. A tax of a centime and a half upon every daily Newspaper printed in Paris. and of half a centime on every Newspaper printed in the Departments ; golly. The produce of the license on Gaming Houses. With regard to the tax on Newspapers, we propose to make it a public permanent revenue.—l proceed to the 16,000,000 of annuities, proposed to you to cover the deficit of the year 1818. It is first necessary ap cell your attention to the Loan of the last year. :ninon a 1 2 1 7. 4 1 It has been realignd by three contracts.— By the first, 9,9!)9,000 francs, in annuities, have been twgociated at the rate of 55 fr. by the house of Hope and Baring ; by the second, the same house purchased three millions, at the rate of 58 fr. ; and, by ,the third, of the Bth of July last, Messieurs. !lope, Baring. and Perregaux-Lafitte, nine millions, at the price of 64 fr. The total of thise bargains is 46,711498 ff. The Reporter then entered into some minute de tails, and proceeded thus : " It thence appears that the loans of last year were made at the rate of 9f interest—an interest certainly light. Jul spite of these sad operstiesse, the saleable capital of the old renters is impeneed one-sixth ; the circulation is remnimated. and the payment of the public expenses is made with a punctuality of which there is- no example . in the most prosperous time. of the monarchy. It is ne cessary to publish this, for the honour of France and of our klinister of Finance.

" The occupation of territory could net be Prolonged two yews, although Frsoce were a prey to 4ptations which threatened Europe. France is calm—she wishes for peace : she wishes for it with the some energy with which she has made war.— Sluice the Treaty of the gulls November, she has - pawed through all the wretchedness which' nature mid policy could heap upon her.

The Treasury Prints labour with unceasing in dustry to rescue Mr. CANNING from the imputa tion of behaateasity, in having sported with the malady of the wretched Ouokx In the House of Commons, and also from—what is of no less im portance to is professed wit—the charge of bad taste, in having presented to his audience pictures of a nature extremely revolting. Their zeal in the performance of this duty cannot be doubted, for they prove themselves willing to share the aceie.a• thou, and repeat the fault they had engaged to de fend. They have thus rendered the indelicacy of Mr. CANNING'S condata no longer a gelation of doubt, for they have exhibited the .offence in its naked di fortuity, stripped of ; lbw deceitful blan dishments of wit sod eloquence which might lend it a momentary charm, and smooth the brow of in digustion. We believe that, until Mr. CAN NING's time, it never belouged to any orator to ransack the hospitals fur topics of merriment, nor to laugh at the geoaawof en unfortunate wretch writhing un der the knife of a surgeon ; but we are confident that, until the present times, the choice of such topics never applauded or imitated. Au orator in the fell career of his eloquence may venture upon ground' where, Ou other occasions, it would be little less than sacrilege to tread. His audience cannot, in such moments, pause to question the right of his entrance ; and, on cooler reflection, they are unwilling to bring him to an account for his tetzierity: Let his friends rest satisfied with this impunity, and mot presume on it so far as to follow his exabsPle.

The intemperance of the ormolus has desolated our fields. listlus.try has in con sequence . seatained ewer' di ffi culties, and the scarcity of provisions hi* re-opened wound. which had scnrcely closed. Fraoce, notwitJutautling. iu the midst of to many subject, of despair, has . ..:00 his medical attendant rendered the operation suc cessful, in spite of his old age, and the rigours of confinement; and Mr. CANNING contends, that OGDEN ought to be grateful for his cure, itiorad of complaining of a course of tteatment which re moved an old disease, put his life in the utmost danger, and reduced him to the torture of the knife. to which, under other circuimtances, he might reasonably have hoped never to have heel' subjected. We have often heard of good resulting f►om evil, but never before heard it contend, that the causal result rendered the foregoing prQ cets an object of esteem end veneration. The Treasury Prints argue, that because OGDEN had for years been afflicted with this malady, there fore his imprisonment and " ponderous irons were not the cause of the rupture." This is a specimen either of their extreme imbecility, or of the uncandid mode of their resuming. No one had asserted float the imprisonment or ponderous irons were the cense of OnnEts's malady; but it cannot be denied that they might, and did considerably aggravate the distemper, and rendered the subsequent operation necessary. This is quite independent of the ex treme cruelty of loading an infirm man of 74 years with heavy iron*, not only on his journey, but hit some time alter his commitment, while, by the papers laid before Parliament, it appears, that tlid man had not been accused of high tret.aon, but was merely detained on suspicion. It is right that such circumstances should be blazoned abroad— that they should be rung in the ears of the people of Eugland, as the consequences of surrendering the Constitution to the discretion of the Ministers, who will so fa► abuse their power as to punish met► . without the form ere* of sus accusation, will then ridicule the sufferings of their victims, and laugh/ at the sympathy expressed by others at thy story of their anguish.
