PARIS, T111:1031/AY, It 30 A.M.
The Paris journals this morning are filled with
the report of M. Theirs upon the project of
M. Prudhon and comments on it. With the ex-
ception of the anarchist papers they are unani-
mous in their praises of this labour of M. Tillers,
which, in the opinion of some, has completely demo-
lished communism. But that system has too much
vitality to succumb to this first blow, and
will doubtless reappear under a variety of forms.
M. Tillers himself, and the Finance Committee,
of which ho was the organ, were quite conscious
of this, and occasion was accordingly taken
to strike a blow in the present report at the
project of the government for levying a tax on suc-
cessions, which differs in degree only from the
project presented to the Assembly by M. Prudhon.
It was gratify ing to observe that the report, and es-
pecially those parts of it which struck the mo t
severe blows against communit m, were received with
the warmest expressions of assent and applause by
the entire chamber, with the exception of the small
knot of members who have acquired the title of the
Mountain, and who cluster round MM. Louis Blanc,
Lagrange, Flocou, Caussidiere, and Prudhon.
With a view to tranquillise the alarms which ru-
incurs circulated daily excite in the capital, the Prefect
of Police hes announced his intention of publivhing
from time to tin.e reports and returns on those sub-
jects calculated to reassure the public by exhibiting
the exact truth, and thus frustrating the designs of
those who are disposed to exaggerate the evils of the
situation. . . _

The committee on the constitution have devoted
three days to hearing the delegates of the bureaux, on
0:c article of the preamble of the project which recog
nises the univ..rsal right to labour ; 8 of the 15 bureaux
have pronounced against the article and 7 in its fa-
vour; of these 7, however, several were nearly equally
divided in their votes. MM. Thiers, Herr) er,
and lluvergier d'llauranne, have maintained in
the committee of the constitution the opinions of their
respective bureaux against the right. MM. Crc-
micux and Victor Lefranc have spoken on the
other side. It is arranged that, with the exception
of the articles upon the question of the election of a
president, the question of one or two chambers, and
the functions of the council of state, upon which,
severally, the delegates will deliver the sentiment of
their respective bureaux, with all the necessary
developments, they will confine themselves to the
mere announce ment of the decisions of the bureaux.
It is expected that by this arrangement they will
complete their communic .tions to the committee by the
end of next week, and that the committee will present
the amended project to the chamber about the middle
of next month. _ .

The Committee of Finances has decided on the re-
jection of the project of M. Pougeard, to convert the
extraordinary tax of 4.i centimes, and those of mort-
gagee aryl successions, into a national loan of 200 mil-
lions, and has appointed M. Leon Faucher to report
upon it accordingly.
