The Court of Assizes terminated, at one o'clock

On Sunday, thr 14th March, the public tranquil-

" By virtue of remonstrances made to Ihr Spanish Go-

that it is not in alone the (4niivenience of
traii.fer of stock was felt. _ _

flow does it happen that • proposition which
Pr. eat+ In have alone fur it ()hp ct the advantage
of the departments, should experience opposition,
and should be cousidared as ruinous to morals, agri-
culture, commerce, and industry ? flow does it
happen that a proposition which must favour cir-
culation, should lie regarded as a measure ine-
vitably causing the coin to diseppear ? Might we
riot iii the motives of this law find that the pre-
tended advantages thu. offered to the departments
had nu other object than to afford relief to the
exchange of Paris, awl to support the hazardous
speculations of the Treasury ? The Speaker then
distinguished between the fixed deli', and the float-

This is possessed by the capitalists who have fur-

Ah ! no douht,it is difficult to support it. It is ilea
cessory to supply the too evident deficiency in the
general circulation by hazardous combinations, and
every operation must be tried upon the price of
stock. Having denied that it was of advantage to
the departments to exchange their coin for stock,
and noticing other disadvantages of the measure, he
thus concluded :—After the destruction of all the
bodies, of all the provinces, of all the local interests
that coustitated the force of public opinion, Paris it
become the political regulator of France, the centre
and the support of every successive revolution.
You would also, by means of the stock which you
would dist.emi mete throu every part of the kingdom,
make it the regulator of public credit—the centre
of every interest—the centre of all stockajobbing.—
the usurer of every action and re-action, political
and coninitin-icial. You would transport the Go.'
veriiiio-ot to the t schema, of the capital, to give it
the direction of public opinion, to ►ender the
monarchy an aristocratic republic, of which the
