PARIS, FRIDAY EVPNINO.
The Committee of notation, utter hav lug heard
the Ministers of Finance and Interior, Mho referred
to the statement!' of motives given last year. has de-
tided on presenting a brief report, stating that last
year the Assembly had only meant to vote an ex-
traordinary credit, which did not appear to be m•ces-
sery this year.
I'iseatory will read his report on the flotation
Bill to-morrow, and will afterwards present it to the
Assembly. The debate will take plate on Monday.
M. Dupin read at the commencement of the As
sitting the resignation by General Lahitte
of his seat a- representative of the deportment of the
Nora, without stating the motives for this step.
M. de Gentility, Minister of Finance, laid un the
bureau the budget of expenses of 1552. The exposi-
tion of motives commences by recalling the situation
of previous budgets. The budl..,,et of IS3O was covered
as fur as related to the ordinary expenses, All the
deficits of budgets previous to that of ltes2 present
a total of 649 millions. In order to reduce this
deficit they had to count, in the first place, on the
increase of the produce of the indirect taxes, and
upon the 'onus to he paid up by various railway com-
panies. To meet this deficit the treasury had at its
disposul 370 millions of floating debt, s•i millions
of treasure in the Book and 60 millions in Rent",
and disposable securities. The minister announced
that the department of public instruction required
an important increase fur the salaries of pri-
mary teachers. The Ministry of Public Works
required an augmentation of twelve millions
fur the service of railways. The Ministry of War
required an angmentat:on of 7 millions. The
receipts for 14:4 are estimated at 1,382.673,416 fr.,
uud the expenses, ordinary as well as extraordinary,
ut 1,372,978,132t0r. The excess of the receipts over
expenses is therefore 9,694,788 fr. The bill of the
budget will be referred to a special committee.
M. de Timm pressed the Assembly to discuss his
motion for authorising the extraordinary meeting of
the Councils-general, in case of an insurrection break-
ing out at Paris. M. I)upin raised n laugh, by
saying there was not so touch urgency for the dis-
eussion of this proposition as the hon. mover
seemed to think. The motion stood last on the
order of the day. The Assembly voted that it should
