The vets os the salt tax has proved a swims check
to the piesessetnt, notwithstanding the energy with
which some of the leaders of the opposition dieavow

As was expected after the vote of yesterday, a

M. bases bas postponed his interpellations on

to examine the amendment which has been adopted,
and to some such modifications in it as would ren-
der it preeticable. This brought M. Dopin (sine) into
the tribune, who took the occasion of giving
the lee experienced portion of the house a
lesson en the inconvenimces and dangers of
ipitate legislation, and on the utility of
a ssootin Amber and a suspensive veto. The
realms 'prodseed by M. Dors were those with
which thi pablio is already familiar, but they derived
such rid sad foes from their application to the vote
of yestsenne. The speech of M. Duple, which was

with two chambers that listen, it becomes impos-
sible with a single one, which is resolved to hear no-
thing." Even under the most absolute monarchies
(exclaimed M. I)upin, in another interval of
repose), it has been allowed to appeal from
Philip drunk to Philip sober. This was
followed by tremendous noise from the
Mountain, mingled with approbation from other
parts of the Assembly. After much confused debate,
the Assembly passed to the order of the day. M.
Goudehaux demanded that the discussion upon the
new taxes consequent on the resolution of yesterday,
should be fixed for Tuesday. M. Leon Faucher
addressed the house amidst general expres-
sions of approbation. lie said that the vote
of yesterday created grave difficulties for the
government, but they hoped to surmount them.
The minister of finance would remain at his
post, assured of the support of the Assembly, which
would render his task leas difficult. The minister
concluded by demanding that the discussion on the
taxes should be fixed tor Friday, which was unani-
mously adopted. Nothing further of general interest
occurred.

The proposition for the dissolution of the As-
sembly has been printed and circulated to-day.
It is to the effect that the elections for the Legis-
lative Assembly shall take place on March 4th,
that that Assembly shall be convoked for the 19 h,
on which day the functions of the present Assembly
~hall terminate, and that, in the meanwhile, the
present Assembly shall confine its discussions to the
electoral law and the law relative to the council of
state. This project, which has been declared " urgent,"
has been referred to the committees of justice and
legislation. One of the projects which have been pre-
sented to the Assembly to-day has for its object the
imposition of taxes intended as a substitute for the
excise and customs. The following is this project :
I. All persons who And use a dress coat (habit) soon pay
a tax of 100 francs, to be collected within the first fortnight
of January. 2. All pewees who shall wear a hat
shall pay twenty francs, payable in the same
manner. 3. AU persons who shall wear a truck
coat (redingote) shall pay a tax of five francs, to be ;collected
in the same manner. 4. The wearers of uoilorms, civil or
military, the blouse the jacket, and the cap, shall be
exempt from taxes. Thu project has been referred to the
committee of fiascoes.
A meeting of the club of the Rue de Poitiers took
place on Wednesday evening. There were three vice-
presidents to elect, in consequence of the resignation of
M. Degousee, and the nomination of MM. Faucher
and do Frillier: to ministerial posts. Only one vice-
president was elected, to replace M. Degousee, and
the choice fell on M. de Lamy, a legitimist. A debate
was then engaged on the proposal for fixing the 19. h
of Feb. as the day of the dissolution of the National
Assembly, and that of the elections onthe 4thof March.
M. Mole supported the proposal, which was carried.
1 hese details have not appeared in the Paris journals,
