CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.

The President took the chair at half-past one o'clock.
The Chamber resumed the discussion of the law project
relating to the Sinking Fund.
M. Lefitte said—" The embarrassments which future
events may occasion to the Treasury have been brought
into view. The future is rich with hopes, and the first
reductions on the expenditure we shall be enabled to pro
pose,
will he sufficient alone to return to the public
20,000,000 francs ; they will contribute to the Sinking
Fund. Affairs are not yet so settled but that the Go-
verment is still bound to take every precautionary mea-
,ure to insure respect from abroad and tranquillity at
home. To this end every necessary expenditure has been,
but proposeatthe
and is still being, made—but it has not as yet been to
any burdensome extent ; and if peace be maintained it
will be very considerable. In a few days a law for the sale
of the forests will be presented.
the The
to alienate produce nothing
same time cost the State some expense. The actual pro-
duct ofthese sales would naturally be applied to the expenses
of a war, should war take place ; but I again repeat
we have no such expectation. I will now state the
precise situation of our floating debt. It is composed of
67,000,000 francs of the arrears of 1814, of 6,000,000
of old deposits, by way of security money, 32,900,000 of
the well known deficit of the year 1827, 54,000,000 of
the deficit of the extraordinary expellees of the year 1830,
30,000,000 francs granted in aid of commerce, (this sum
will return into the Treasury at the expiration of two
years), and, lastly, 54,000,000 of the Spanish debt. Ac
the floating debt has necessarily an influence on the funded
debt embarrassing to the Treasury, it is proposed that the
products of the sale of the forests should be applied to the
diminution of the former, unless called for towards the
expenses of a loan. I am convinced the law, as it has
been proposed by the King's Ministers, ought to be sup-
ported, but we submit it with confidence to the judgment
of the Chamber."

An amendment by M. Augustine Perier, in the follow-
ing terms, was then put and adopted :
" The endowment of the Sinking Fund, fixed at the
sum of 40,000,000 francs by the law of the 25th of March,
1817, shall continue to be exclusively appropriated to the
redemption of the Five, the Four and a Malf, and the
Three per Cent. Stocks. The same application shall be
made of the Funds redeemed since 28th April, 1816, un-
less they have been otherwise applied by an express law."
The President was proceeding to put an additional
paragraph, moved by M. Baillot, when M. Lafitte rose
and moved that the question should be adjourned till to-
morrow, upon which the Chamber adjourned.
(From the Journal du Cher.)
We have a circular from the Minister of the Interior,
which prohibits the celebration of the anniversary of the
death of Louis XVI. on the 21st instant. The same in-
junction has no doubt been sent to all the Departments.
Extract of a letter from Calais, dated 11th inst.:—
" The Heros, a merchant vessel, arrived here en Sunday
night from London, with 4,440 muskets on board for the
French Government. This cargo is to he followed by
others, which will be sent at short intervals. The 'muskets
were taken to the arsenal. This week 3,000 bomb-shells
have been sent here from the arsenal of Douay.
