PROCES.VERBAL.

The Commissioners having recapitulated the results of their
proceedings on the 17th of August, which were published at
the time, and having stated the rectifications that had been
made in some small sums, say—" On the whole, the total
amount of 5 per cents. converted into 3 per cents. is 30,i74,116f.
and the whole amount of 3 per cents. arising from this conver-
sion is 24,459,035 francs."

The verifications relative to the conversions in 3 per cent.
being terminated, are closed.
1. The register of applications for conversion into 3 per cents.
on which no applications have been inserted since the stli
of
August, and in which there are no fresh writings, except the
corrections mentioned above.
2. The journal containing the detail of the 5 per cents.
converted, and of the 3 per cents. proceeding from this con-

version.

3. A list of the applications for conversions which were
declared null.

The first part of our mission being terminated, and it be-
ing six o'clock, we resolved to meet at tza this evening to
verify the result of the applications for conversions into 4i per
cents.
At 10 o'clock, we met again at the Treasury ; when the
Director of the inscribed debt presented to us-
1. The list of applications for conversions into 41i per cent.
2. The journal containing the particulars of the 5 per cent.
converted, and if the 4 per cent. thereby produced.
8. The various documents furnished by parties applying,
we found the applications entered in the register to amount
to 1,176.704 francs, and the five per cents. converted, to
1,030,345 francs: whence it appears that there remains in
suspence a sum of 96,359 francs, in consequence of the irre-
gularity or insufficiency of the documents produced by forty
applicants. The iq per cents. inscribed amount to 972,228
francs, which are equivalent to the i per cents. converted, de-
ducting a tenth on the interest, and a difference of 82f. 50c.
arising from fractions of francs which could not be inscribed
and have been repaid.
The verification being -terminated at midnight,. we closed
the registers, &c. relative to the applications for conversions
into the 41 per tents. viz.
1. The list of the applications.
2. The journal of the 5 per cents. converted, and of the 41
inscribed.
3. The list of the applications that remain in suspense.
This proces-verbal closed the 23d September, half an hour after
midnight, after being read to the director of the inscribed debt,
who has signed with us,

REPORT TO THE KING.
M. de Villele having mentioned the law for the conversion
of the renter, observes that by Art. 4 of
the law the diminu-
tion of the interest of die debt which shall thence ensue is to be
assessed from the beginning of 1826, to diminish the additional
amounts on the land-tax, poll-tax, the tax on furniture, and on
doors and windows.
The diminution of the interest of the debt Francs. Cts.
thus effected is _ - 6,223,108 U
The taxes in question amounting to - 194,727,034 63
A diminution of 3 cents. would make only 6,841,838 4
Leaving - - 381,359 96
unemployed
A diminution of another cent would greatly exceed this over-
plus ; but it would suffice to diminish by 6 cents instead of 3
the door and window tax, which is the most charged with ad-
ditional cents. of all the direct taxes, and the most onerous to
the poorer contributors.
The whole reduction would then be for the
land-tax, poll-tax, and tax on household fur- Francs. Cts.
niture, at 3 cents per franc - - 5,457,414 5
On the door and window-tax, at six cents per
franc - 768,747 98

Total - 8,226,212 3
I have the honour to lay before your Majesty the project of
an Ordinance necessary to effect in the manner pointed out in
the present report, from_ the beginning of 1825, the reductions
prescribed by the law of Ist !day, 1825.
Paris, Sept. 23, 1825.
The Minister of Finance, .T. M. VILLEI,E.
The Ordinance is annexed, to the effect recommended in the
report.

(Journal du Commerce.)
Letters from Constantinople of the 22d of August state, that
some disturbances have taken place in the streets of that great
Capital, and that M; Chassrand, son of the Dutch Consul at
Saloniga, wl:o was a clerk to Mr. Wright an English merchant
in the above Capital, was assassinated by the Turks at the gate
of his warehouse, at Galata, on the 21st of August.
Letters from Bayonne,„,of the 17th September, speak of the
return of the French troops who occupy the garrisons in the
Peninsula; but it is not as yet official. They also assure us
that the camps of Perpignan and Bayonne will break up on the
15th October. Of the four regiments in the latter town, two of
them are destined for the North, and the 24th is coming to
Paris.
A report prevails of important negociations between England
and Spain ; it is thoug,l►t they relate to some new arrangements
to he taken with the new States of America ; but we can scarce
believe the above to be true.
A report states, by letters from Bayonne, that an Aide-de-
Camp of Mina has been arrested at Olaren, and conducted to
Pau. It is added that money and a suspicious correspondence
was found on him.

Letters from Bagdad, dated 10th June, say—
" The Tigris this year has considerably overflowed, and the
city of Bagdad is, as it were, in the midst of a vast morass.
While I write the waters are diminishing, but we are not yet
in security. The city was much in danger of being inundated.
Many houses have fallen down, and among others a part of the
palace of the Paella. The rains which have fallen in Upper
Mesopotamia, and the melting of the snows on the mountains
of the Medea and Kurdistan, occasioned this little deluge.—
Numerous Arab families who live in .Gower Mesopotamia nar-
rowly escaped being buried in the waters, and it is said that the
mass of the nation were only saved by a sacrifice of individuals.
In the midst of the contusion and despair human bodiesom were
sought for to oppose a barrier to the waters, and menions mane w
ve,
children, and animals were thrown on it. Provisions
tripled in price, and the Arabs and Kurds are every where in a
state of insurrection."—( French Paper.)
