the details which I am going to lay before you, how
the excess of certain contributions is farther aggra-

guishing and unproductive, agriculture requires as-

Such is France. as thirty years of war have made
her. Nothing is warded to restore her to her for-
mer eclat, than a long peace, daily efforts, and the
patriotic devotion of the present gewemtion of
Frenchmen to the happiness' of those who Mall
come after them.
Full of confident in this generous sentiment, I
do not hesitate to present to you a statement of the
charges which we shall have to impose upon us to
meet this long series of expenses which have been
enumerated by the Honosindsle Reporter who has
preceded me. I proceed to state the heads ofthe

must be had to loans to procure the difference, which
is 4220,000,000. In proposing a registry of lands
with a view to a more equal laud:tax, I know'! touch
upon a delicate %object. A very productive branch
of revenue, as it amounts to six millions, had not yet
figured in the Budgets. It is the receipts of the
Ministry of General Police, viii.-Ist. A tax of a
centime and a half upon every daily Newspaper
printed in Paris. and of half a centime on every
Newspaper printed in the Departments ; golly.
The produce of the license on Gaming Houses.
With regard to the tax on Newspapers, we propose
to make it a public permanent revenue.—l proceed
to the 16,000,000 of annuities, proposed to you
to cover the deficit of the year 1818.
It is first necessary ap cell your attention to the

It has been realignd by three contracts.—
By the first, 9,9!)9,000 francs, in annuities,
have been twgociated at the rate of 55 fr. by the
house of Hope and Baring ; by the second, the
same house purchased three millions, at the rate of
58 fr. ; and, by ,the third, of the Bth of July last,
Messieurs. !lope, Baring. and Perregaux-Lafitte,
nine millions, at the price of 64 fr. The total of
thise bargains is 46,711498 ff.
The Reporter then entered into some minute de-
tails, and proceeded thus :
" It thence appears that the loans of last year
were made at the rate of 9f interest—an interest
certainly light. Jul spite of these sad operstiesse,
the saleable capital of the old renters is impeneed
one-sixth ; the circulation is remnimated. and the
payment of the public expenses is made with a
punctuality of which there is- no example. in the
most prosperous time. of the monarchy. It is ne-
cessary to publish this, for the honour of France
and of our klinister of Finance.

no longer any credit, nor, perhaps, existence for
France, but by lightening the burden that op.

The Treasury Prints labour with unceasing in-
dustry to rescue Mr. CANNING from the imputa-
tion of behaateasity, in having sported with the
malady of the wretched Ouokx In the House of
Commons, and also from—what is of no less im-
portance to is professed wit—the charge of bad
taste, in having presented to his audience pictures
of a nature extremely revolting. Their zeal in the
performance of this duty cannot be doubted, for
they prove themselves willing to share the aceie.a•
thou, and repeat the fault they had engaged to de-
fend. They have thus rendered the indelicacy of
Mr. CANNING'S condata no longer a gelation of
doubt, for they have exhibited the .offence in its
naked di fortuity, stripped of ;lbw deceitful blan-
dishments of wit sod eloquence which might lend
it a momentary charm, and smooth the brow of in-
digustion. We believe that, until Mr. CAN NING's
time, it never belouged to any orator to ransack the
hospitals fur topics of merriment, nor to laugh at
the geoaawof en unfortunate wretch writhing un-
der the knife of a surgeon ; but we are confident
that, until the present times, the choice of such
topics never applauded or imitated. Au orator
in the fell career of his eloquence may venture
upon ground' where, Ou other occasions, it would be
little less than sacrilege to tread. His audience
cannot, in such moments, pause to question the
right of his entrance ; and, on cooler reflection,
they are unwilling to bring him to an account for
his tetzierity: Let his friends rest satisfied with this
impunity, and mot presume on it so far as to follow
his exabsPle.
