by an eisposi des motifs, which dated that the object of

Tne Siècle rather sharply criticises the
proposed
new taxes. It does not object to those on h
bunters,
racers, carriage-horses, and private carriages,
does it dwell strongly on the proposed augmentatioll
or
of stamp duty. It thinks the increased duties on
spirits will, while insufficient to check drinking,
press hardly on those persons into whose manufacture
spirits enter as necessary ingredients—but it de-
pumices unhesitatingly the taxes on paper :
" When (it says) there exist already so many diffi-
culties in the way of publication—when the censorship
and the taxman are at the theatre—when stanaledutiee
weigh down the newspaper—when the patent of the
bookseller and the printer's license already place both
in subjection to tho State—to come to speak of a tax
which mast suddenly raise the price of the child's gram-
mar and the old man Bible, the literary arid the politi-
cal journal, the novel and the book of science, the music
sheet, and even the engraving, does seem to ns rather
strange. What! paper, through which people convey
their dearest confidences—paper, that essential instru-
ment of labour, and of which the author is sometimes
too poor to buy a sufficient quantity. This collector of
thought—this magnificent means of civilization—this
indefatigable propagator of the arts, sciences, letters, in-
ventions, philosophy—is to be subjected to more taxa-
tion. An old historian dwells in terms of eulogy upon a
descendant of Clovis, because that he had procured a
supply of the papyrus of Egypt for convents and schools.
Have we retrograded even past the middle Ages? What
name shall we give this new tax? Shall we call it a tax
on intelligence?"
Supposing these considerations to fail cf effect, the
Siècle, to strengthen its opposition, proceeds to show
that the, proposed tax would produce an injurious
effect upon the French paper factories :
" There are, it says, upwards of 150 great paper fac-
tories. Some departments count upwards of twenty.
We export books, paper, and engravings. We sell to
England two million francs worth a year, to Belgium
two and a half million, to Spain one million, to Sardinia
one million and a half, to Russia one tuition, to
Turkey a million, to the Brazils one million, and to the
United States three millions; we export some to Chili,
and even to China. Have they reflected how, despite
even the drawback, this industry will be affected? Have
they considered how they are about to increase the ad-
vantages of foreigners who pirate our books?"
Seeing the injuries, moral and mania, ilia in
• folloit'ania-optiosi of *kWh: Ir-100he"Ta7clettiVpli-7--• -
cotes the Corps Legislatif to 'repeal it.
"It is to be hoped," says Galignani, " that the
call made by the Siècle for mature and serious delibe-
ration in the Legislative body on the proposed tax
upon paper will not be made in vain. The discus-
sions in the House of Commons respecting this branch
of taxation in England, and the remonstrances made
against it by large and influential bodies in that coun-
try, cannot have failed to excite attention here, and
the argument against the continuation of the tax in
England may be regarded as conclusive against the
introduction of it in France. One of t'he strongest
of these arguments, independently of the tax being
anti-intellectual, and therefore opposed to the spirit
of the age, is the injury that it would inflict upon the
immense number of persons directly or indirectly in-
terested in the printing business, and whose means
of existence would consequently be abridged without
benefit to any other class."
The Moniteur gives the following as the composi-
tion of the new Board of Admiralty :—The Minister
of Marine, President; Vice-Admiral Casey, by virtue
of seniority, Vice-President; and as members, Vice_
Admirals Parseval Deschenes and Bruat ; Rear_

yards; and Captain Belveze M. Pinand, Nave
Comptroller, is named secretary; and Captain Dege..
nis and M. le Bas, Marine Engineer, assistant
