The law tinier whicliilietaxieTethis state are
collected expires on the let of Oot. The Finance
Minister laid on the table of the Chamber, at its open-
ing, a bill prolonging the operation of the existing
law to December 31. The committee of the Cham-
ber bas just reported a recommendation to decline
the grant, on the ground that to vote taxes to the
present ministry would be to furnish it with the
instrument of effecting its uncoustitutional designs. It
I is, bowel's:, probable that the recommendation to re-
fuse the taxes will not be adopted in its present form.
Many of the deputise, thinking that an absolute re-
heat would leave the government some claim upon
the sympathy of the nation, and that many persons
would est the baneful example of paying taxes not
voted by 'mamma; would prefer a middle course. as
the grant of a loan, for instance. The word " &au-
verweigermig " (tax refusing) is obnoxiou+. But it
is certain that the rejection of the ministerial proposi-
tion in, whatever form disguised, will lead to the dis-
solution of the Chamber. Ikea were the law peened
and the taxes granted, a breach would be produced by
the vote of " son-sontldease • with which the Chem-

ben intends to wail the people.

A aorreepondent, dating Schwerin, Sept. 21, says:
la spite of the ministerial prohibition of the 18th,
the members of the dissolved Chamber of Deputies
have determined to observe 0.4 oaths, and meet on
the 24th, in Schwerin, to assert the right, of the
nation against arbitrary power. It is expected that
great numbers of the party of the Right, and even
some of the °Mows of the government itself, will take
their places in the Chamber. Among the members
of the late ministry. Liebeherr, ,nd Stever
are to be present. The ministry bas not ;topped short
at issuing the Injunction, but has given the megis-
tracy a special charge to keep an eye upon the deputies,
Ito offer it no molestation, in cue their meeting should
ammo a private character, but to prevent thew con-
stituting themselves as a legal repneentation of the
nation. The magistrates btu resolved to carry out
their instructions; a conflict may therefore be ex-
